Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Chapter 626 Tip-off

Liang Qian put her arm around Yuwen Jue's shoulders and leaned into his arms, stroking his hair lovingly while whispering, "So, don't say anything stupid like giving him back to me in the future. You will always be you."

"Okay." Yuwen Jue leaned on her obediently and nodded.

Liang Qian's eyes were moist: "No matter what I say now, will you agree?"

Yuwen Jue said nothing, just looked at her with a smile, took her hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed her palm.

The soft lips seemed to fall on the tip of my heart, sweet and sour.

Liang Qian stroked his face and said solemnly: "I will never abandon you."

Yuwen Jue tightened his arms around her: "Okay."

All matters that needed to be handled in Pingwu City had been arranged, and they could now breathe a sigh of relief.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Liang Qian suddenly relaxed. She just wanted to stay quietly with Yuwen Jue. Even if she didn't do anything, just sitting there would be fine.

Suddenly, Liang Qian lowered her head with a smile, and kissed Yuwen Jue on the face quickly with interest. She blinked her dark and bright eyes and sighed half-seriously, "Mr. Zhou is so beautiful. I finally got a taste of what it means to be seduced by a beauty and ruin a country."

These words were frivolous and flippant, and even mocked the king of a country as a man who served beautiful women.

Yuwen Jue was stunned, his cold face suddenly turned red, he felt ashamed and annoyed: "Only you dare to be so bold."

Liang Qian looked at his rosy face and smiled triumphantly, "Mr. Zhou has known this for a long time. You will get used to it in the future."

However, the pride only lasted for a moment. The person with pink cheeks leaned forward and pressed forward, pursing the corners of his lips and laughing softly: "However, since you like it, I will have to spare no effort to please you..."

Being looked at by such burning eyes, Liang Qian's face suddenly turned red. She looked away awkwardly, and supported her chest with her palms, feeling embarrassed and anxious: "Don't mess around. What if they see us?"

"Okay, no more nonsense..."

Yuwen Jue responded softly, but his hands did not show any sign of restraint.

Liang Qian gritted her teeth and said that she shouldn't have provoked him.

Unfortunately, it's too late to regret.

It was already bedtime, but Lu Wanying was not sleepy at all. She leaned on the railing and stared at the bright full moon above her head in a daze.

This is the quietest moment of the day in Yuetai Temple. Apart from the rustling of the bamboo forest in the evening breeze, there is only the occasional chirping of crickets in the grass.

The night in the mountains is as cold as water. After standing outside for a long time, I feel as if I am chilled to the bone.

The footsteps behind me were hesitant, and the voices were even more hesitant.

"Toffee, it's late at night, you should get settled earlier."

Ruizhu held the cloak in her hand, looked at the thin back, and reminded carefully.

Lu Wanying stood still, looking up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, her eyes cold: "Still no news?"

Ruizhu responded timidly: "...Yes."

It has been half a month since Liang Jiao went to Pingwu.

Except for the two letters sent back at the beginning, Zhou Jun completely lost contact with the other side after he captured the city, and there has been no news at all.

Lu Wanying turned around and stared at Ruizhu with his dark eyes.

"Could she have escaped during the chaos? Doesn't she want the child anymore?"

Ruizhu's heart trembled, and she shook her head affirmatively: "No, this past year, I have seen clearly that if it weren't for this child, she would definitely not survive."

Lu Wanying couldn't help but frown: "Could it be that Liang Qian found out?"

Ruizhu thought to herself that this was possible, but for a moment, she did not dare to respond.

Seeing Ruizhu didn't speak, Lu Wanying felt angry and said unhappily, "Are you mute when I ask you a question?"

Ruizhu lowered her eyes and said reluctantly, "I guess, maybe... she was captured by the Zhou army and couldn't pass on the message. Of course, it's also possible that she is dead. According to the news, the King of Pengcheng and the King of Langya have been killed, and even their families have not been spared. Liang Jiao lives in the King of Pengcheng's mansion, I'm afraid she can't escape the bad luck this time..."

Lu Wanying pursed her lips and nodded. It was indeed possible.

Suddenly, she paused again and looked at Ruizhu again: "But you said that we can even hear news about their families, why can't we hear news about Liang Qian? Isn't this too strange? It's as if she disappeared overnight."

Ruizhu thought for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Everyone knows that Liang is extremely beautiful. It is possible that Lord Zhou would take her into his harem upon seeing her. However, he dare not announce it to the world because of public opinion."

Lu Wanying looked at Ruizhu, but she didn't agree, so she shook her head and said, "If Lord Zhou really captured Liang Qian at this juncture, he would definitely want to let the whole world know. Don't forget that Liang Qian is Empress Wenxuan after all. If even Empress Wenxuan submits to Lord Zhou, not only will the morale of the Zhou army be greatly boosted, but we can also be humiliated by our Qi country..."

Ruizhu thought about it and agreed.

Lu Wanying turned around and went into the house with some boredom.

Ruizhu stood there, still puzzled: "Why did she go to Pingwu? Is it really like she said before, just to restore her dignity as the Queen Mother?"

"This is just to fool outsiders who don't know the truth." Lu Wanying sneered, then sat down beside the bed, turned her head to look at the wooden box containing the cloak, and said nothing.

Ruizhu lowered her head and nodded.

Others did not know the inside story, but they were different. Liang rescued Gao Hao from them that day and controlled the entire palace. It would have been easy for her to restore the dignity of the empress dowager. However, she supported an inconspicuous Meng, which was really puzzling.

Thinking of this, I have to mention Ao Rubing.

If he hadn't changed sides that day, how could they have failed?

Ruizhu said bitterly: "This Ao Rubin, the master has high hopes for him, but he secretly turned against the Liang family!"

Lu Wanying raised her eyes and looked over, raising her eyebrows: "Ruizhu, have you already liked him in Renshou Palace?"

Ruizhu's face turned pale, and she quickly lowered her head and knelt down: "I dare not."

Lu Wanying snorted disdainfully, "There's no one else here, why bother hiding it?"

Ruizhu bit her lips and dared not say a word.

"Okay, get up." Lu Wanying stopped looking at her, opened the box, and put on the cloak inside.

"At first, I really thought she was going to find him..."

The room with flickering candlelight was quiet for a long time.

Just when Ruizhu thought it would remain quiet forever, she suddenly heard a long neigh from a horse outside the yard.

The two turned their heads and looked towards the window together.

Lu Wanying couldn't help but clench the cloak in her hand, her heart trembling with nervousness: "Ruizhu!"

Ruizhu quickly stood up, put down her cloak and went out.

Soon, Ruizhu led a man in.

"Toffee." The man bowed.

"Is there any news?"

The man took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

Without waiting for Ruizhu to pass it on, Lu Wanying took two steps forward, snatched it and tore open the letter.

There was only a small paper roll inside.

Lu Wanying opened her hands with trembling hands, and her pupils shrank suddenly.

There are only four words: Lu Xiu is not dead.

Lu Wanying stared at the note in a daze, tears welling up in her eyes instantly, and she could hardly breathe.

After a moment, she slowly clenched the note, wiped away her tears, and tried to remain calm.

"Brother, do you know?"

The man shook his head and replied, "I haven't told you yet, sir."

Lu Wanying tilted his head and glanced over with sharp eyes: "Ruizhu, why don't you pack your things? We are leaving immediately!"
