Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Chapter 627 Today is Yesterday

After taking a bath, Yuwen Jue walked into the house with a damp body, and unexpectedly saw Liang Qian sitting barefoot in front of the chessboard, with one hand on her chin, looking at the small paper roll in her hand absentmindedly.

Hearing the footsteps, her bright eyes looked over immediately, but she was complaining.

"You finally finished washing. If you didn't come back, I would have fallen asleep."

After hearing this, Yuwen Jue couldn't help but laugh: "Who left me behind and ran away first?"

Liang Qian sat up straight, her face flushed, and said with a wry smile: "Come here first, I have something important to tell you."

Yuwen Jue glanced at the embarrassment in her eyes imperceptibly, sat down next to her, turned around and saw water droplets still dripping from the ends of her hair, raised his hand to touch it, his palm was slightly wet, and he couldn't help but frown.

"Why don't you squeeze some out?"

As he said this, he stood up and went to get a dry cotton towel.

Liang Qian grabbed his hand and pulled him back, not caring at all.

"Wait a minute, take a look at this first."

Yuwen Jue, however, put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we'll see later."

Liang Qian had no choice but to sit and wait for him.

When Yuwen Jue came again, he had a dry cotton towel and an outer shirt in his hand. When he came closer, he reached out and wrapped it around her.

"It's not like summer now, the nights are cool, be careful not to catch a cold."

Liang Qian tilted her head and joked with a smile: "Mr. Zhou knows how to serve others."

As soon as he said this, he remembered something and his cheeks felt hot. He turned his eyes away awkwardly, raised the small paper roll with embarrassment, and changed the subject.

"Look at what's written here."

Yuwen Jue narrowed his dark eyes and glanced at the person, but seeing the shy expression, he suppressed his smile and just looked at the paper.

"Lu Xiu is Lord Zhou."

After a faint sound, Yuwen Jue withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes and concentrated on twisting his hair.

Liang Qian blinked in surprise: "Aren't you curious about who did it?"

Yuwen Jue smiled and cooperated: "...curious."

Liang Qian curled her lips and put down the paper roll: "I asked someone to keep an eye on her every day, you will definitely guess it."

Yu Wenjue's eyes were filled with smiles and he did not deny it.

Liang Qian simply stopped beating around the bush and said, "After Lu Xu was assassinated, I ordered Chun Yubei to investigate secretly. Just when I was about to think that it was Gao Hao who did it, who would have thought it was Gao Huan. I knew that they killed Lu Xu just to make me lose my support, and it would be best if they could break up with the Lu family.

In fact, it was exactly as they wished. Later, when Gao Jun was desperate and came to Meilin to find me and told me the truth, I learned that Gao Hao had long seen through Gao Huan's plan to assassinate Lu Xu, but he did not stop it and reaped the benefits. Instead, he secretly joined forces with Lu Mingye and even used Lu Wanying's pregnancy as a guarantee... Now think about it, if I hadn't used poison to control Ao Rubin in advance, I'm afraid I might not have been able to do it that day-"

Suddenly she paused and looked up at him: "Is it true that there is no one of yours around me?"

Yuwen Jue glanced at Liang Qian, pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer. He just helped her twist her hair.

Liang Qian did not forget that he had always been holding the secret line of Qi State.

Since he was paying attention to Zhou Mansion and Wang Tingyue, how could he ignore me?

Liang Qian didn't dwell on this question. She lowered her eyes and sighed, "I just can't understand why A Jiao would work for them. If she thought I was the one who sent people to set fire and kill people and wanted to seek revenge on me, then that would be fine. But now Wang Tingyue has clearly explained everything to her. Why does she still do this? What is she trying to do?"

Yuwen Jue looked down at her: "Didn't you ask Wang Tingyue?"

Liang Qian shook her head: "I didn't tell him."

Yuwen Jue paused, a faint smile on his lips: "You protect him like this, aren't you afraid that I will be jealous?"

Liang Qian was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Are you kidding? It's okay for others, but you are - you look so arrogant, who would you take seriously? Who would you consider as an opponent?"

Yuwen Jue narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold tone: "Are you praising me?"

Liang Qian looked at him fearlessly: "You may also think so."

Then he lowered his eyes and sighed, "I also suspected before that Ajiao was under the threat of some poison, but I took her pulse and found nothing unusual except for the deficiency of qi and blood..."

Seeing the man's bitter face, Yuwen Jue put down the cotton towel in his hand and sat down.

"What do you want me to do?"

Liang Qian was stunned and shook her head: "No, you misunderstood. I was planning to tell you about this matter after we conquered Pingwu, but I never thought that the person they sent was actually Ajiao."

Yuwen Jue held Liang Qian's hand: "I know."

Liang Qian said, "In fact, to be honest, I deliberately led them to Pingwu. Seeing that you were getting closer and closer to Jinye, your identity was always a hidden danger. Many people had seen you in the court in the past. Let's not talk about others for now. Just talking about the people of the Lu family, they are troublesome. The reason why I wanted to return to Jinye was also for this consideration."

Yuwen Jue's eyes were extremely gentle: "Of course I know that."

Liang Qian nodded: "Then why don't you ask me why I was able to attract them here?"

Yuwen Jue smiled faintly: "If you want to talk, I will listen."

Liang Qian looked carefully at the calm man in front of her and frowned. He was always like this, as if everything was under his control.

Liang Qian did not keep the secret: "In addition to altering the secret letter that Ajiao wrote to them, I also kept a piece of your clothing."

"Clothes?"

Seeing a flash of surprise in Ruyuan's dark eyes, Liang Qian raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Yes, it's the cloak you gave me in the village last year. I embroidered a pattern on it, and the people of Lu's family will know it at a glance."

She thought about it and decided to hide Lu Wanying's name.

Lu Xiuying didn't know about Lu Wanying's feelings for him.

His mind was wandering slightly, and he suddenly remembered that Lu Wanying had never been married in her previous life, but instead stayed in the palace to accompany the Queen Mother in chanting scriptures and reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Later, the Queen Mother was bedridden and nothing changed.

She didn't understand it before, but now she can say for sure that what Lu Wanying hates most is chanting scriptures and reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense if she stayed in the palace to look after the Queen Mother for Lu Xiu.

Perhaps, the Queen Mother’s sudden illness was also related to Lu Wanying.

Was all this instigated by Lu Xiu?

Liang Qian didn't know how to ask. Her mind was racing, she sighed quietly, and didn't notice the heat in the eyes of the person next to her.

"So you've been waiting for me to return to Jinye, right? When you insisted on leaving that day, it wasn't because you really didn't want to see me anymore, right?"

Hearing the question out of the blue, Liang Qian raised her eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, and nodded honestly: "Yes, although I didn't know how to face you at that time, I also wanted to return to Jinye and use my status as the Queen Mother to eliminate some resistance and protect--"

Before he could finish his words, he was hugged tightly.

Yuwen Jue held the back of her neck with his hands, holding her tightly in his arms, unable to move.

Liang Qian said sullenly, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Yuwen Jue sighed with sadness: "Xianxian, I understand your feelings. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

Liang Qian put her arms around his waist and said, "I know. Actually, I knew it in Lianzhou. It's just... I shouldn't have told you clearly and left you alone... Loving someone is not just about loving his radiant appearance in front of others, but about comforting his helplessness that no one notices, understanding his unknown origins, and having the courage to face the past and the future with him."

They have a lot of drama recently~
