Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

This glance, silent and yet touching the deepest part of the soul easily, is like the inexpressible feelings when looking back gently after crossing the desert, climbing mountains and wading through water.

Liang Qian sighed and held his hand tightly.

Yuwen Jue's gaze did not linger on her face for long, but moved to Wang Tingyue without leaving a trace.

"In fact, it's not just you. Zhou's murder was also caused by Lu."

Wang Tingyue's pupils trembled slightly: "Zhou Situ?"

Yuwen Jue nodded: "The court has always been full of complicated relationships. It is not easy to stay out of it and do one's own thing. Not to mention walking away and withdrawing from it?"

Liang Qian lowered her eyes in silence. Yuwen Jue was right. Zhou Zhaoyuan had been an official in the court for many years and should know a lot of things. How could he let him leave so easily?

Thinking of Danqing, she raised her head, but before she could speak, Yuwen Jue met her eyes and said calmly:

"They are doing well and safe now. I have specially ordered people to watch them, but I have not met them. They don't know that I helped them. I just asked someone to tell them that they are old friends of Zhou Yun. At first, they were worried, but later they believed it after I took a lot of Zhou Yun's old things."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, during this period, Cao Danqing contacted Jin Ye several times in private."

"Who to contact?" Liang Qian was a little surprised.

Yuwen Jue said: "You should know that Cao Danqing adopted a child from the Zhou clan."

Liang Qian was stunned: "Puyang clan!"

After returning to Jinye, she checked the background of Puyang. She was an orphan and a widow after her husband died. After Cao Danqing chose Zhou Shaochun, she followed Cao Danqing ever since.

But when Zhou Zhaoyuan and Cao Danqing left Jinye, she did not go with them, but chose to marry someone else.

As for the person she married——

"Could it be that the adoption is also related to the Lu family?"

Puyang's new husband seemed to be working under Lu Mingye.

At that time, she did not take it seriously. Now think about it, what if it was Lu's instruction from the beginning for Cao Danqing to adopt the child?

They wanted to secretly cultivate a puppet for the Zhou family, but Zhou Zhaoyuan chose to retire at this time...

Since he cannot be used by the Lu family, how can he be allowed to leave safely?

Thinking of this, Liang Qian's heart was shaken. There was a reason why the Lu family had been able to stand firm in the court for many years.

Yuwen Jue said, "That's true. The news that Zhou Situ and his party were killed was also secretly passed on by this Puyang clan."

Liang Qian understood now.

Wang Tingyue shook his head gently: "I can't believe it."

Liang Qian glanced at Yuwen Jue and couldn't help but feel relieved: "You were right not to reveal your identity to Zhou Situ."

Then I saw the faint smile on his lips and felt something was wrong.

If he really didn't want Danqing to send the letter, Danqing would never be able to contact Puyang.

Liang Qian blinked and couldn't help wondering: "Are you deliberately trying to make Lu suspicious and suspect that you are still alive?"

Yuwen Jue pursed his lips and did not answer.

Liang Qian was surprised: "Why?"

The moment their eyes met, Liang Qian opened her mouth, as if she understood.

"Lu has never tried to kill me. In addition to wanting to know the whereabouts of the Peony Seal, they also want to... verify from me whether you are still alive. It would be best if they could find you through me, right?"

Yuwen Jue didn't say anything, but a soft light was flowing in his dark eyes.

Liang Qian's eyes were filled with heat.

The fact that I could live safely in Nancheng Palace until today was indeed inseparable from his secret help.

She was worried about his safety, and wasn't he also worried about her?

Liang Qian lowered her head to think for a moment, then looked at Wang Tingyue.

"Today, we are explaining all this to you so that you can understand what is going on. Besides, since this is about Ajiao, we really shouldn't hide it from you. I thought that after seeing you, she would let go of her worries and be honest with us, but she - I thought that Lu's company would make some moves in the next two days, so why don't we take advantage of the situation? As for Ajiao -"

She hesitated for a moment, but still said, "For your safety, we'll allocate another yard for you to live in. You two won't meet for the time being."

Wang Tingyue was surprised: "Are you afraid that Ajiao will harm me?"

Without waiting for Liang Qian to speak, Wang Tingyue shook his head and said, "No, Ajiao would never do such a thing. She is acting like this now because she is forced to do so. If I avoid her these days and lock her up, it will really make her feel hopeless—"

Liang Qian couldn't help but frown. "No, I mean——"

"Okay," Yu Wenjue narrowed his dark eyes slightly and interrupted Liang Qian's words.

He squeezed Liang Qian's hand and sighed helplessly: "Qian Qian, since General Wang already knows, he must have made his own decision."

Liang Qian turned her head to meet Yuwen Jue's gaze. His eyes were as calm as water, without any emotion.

Liang Qian was silent for a moment, and could only nod. "Okay."

Wang Tingyue sighed: "I know you are worried about me, but don't worry."

Seeing him say this, Liang Qian didn't want to persuade him anymore.

Wang Tingyue pretended to be deeply troubled and was in no mood to stay for dinner, so he just went back to the side courtyard first.

Liang Qian ordered someone to bring food and send Wang Tingyue back to the side courtyard, and repeatedly reminded the guards to be vigilant at all times and report immediately if they found any situation.

Even so, she still felt uneasy.

Yuwen Jue's deep black eyes were fixed on Liang Qian's slightly furrowed brows, and many old scenes emerged in his mind.

There are past lives and there are present lives.

I can't remember exactly which day it was, but I heard from the palace servants that someone broke into the Taiji Hall with a sword, intending to kill the king, but was killed by Gao Qian in a rage.

When he first heard it, he just thought it was funny.

After knowing that it was for Liang Qian, he was even more disdainful.

Now it is...

He did not forget that in the Dali Temple prison, Kankan would rather commit suicide than harm Wang Tingyue's life.

If not, why would he look at her differently that day?

Yuwen Jue lowered his eyes silently and gently held the person in his arms.

*

After dinner, when the two children fell asleep, Liang Qian dragged her tired feet back to the dormitory.

Yuwen Jue was still sitting under the lamp.

Although the army has been resting for the past two days, there are still many things that need him to deal with.

Hearing the noise, the handsome man raised his eyebrows and looked over. The soft light made his already handsome face look extremely beautiful.

"Are they asleep?"

He hadn't spoken for a long time, and when he suddenly spoke, his voice was a little hoarse.

"Yes," Liang Qian walked forward, leaned slightly, and took a look into the cup next to him. It seemed to have gone cold a long time ago.

"Are you going to stay up late? Why don't I cook something hot for you?"

Yuwen Jue smiled slightly and patted the seat beside him: "Just sit and accompany me."

Liang Qian nodded slightly, sat down, and sorted out the documents on the desk slowly and in an orderly manner.

Yuwen Jue turned his head and looked at it carefully.

Liang Qian raised her eyebrows and glanced at him: "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"You are very beautiful." Yuwen Jue said calmly with no expression on his face.

Liang Qian was not in the mood to joke with him.

I just want to resolve Lu’s issue as soon as possible.

He lowered his head again and looked at the piles of documents in front of him. For no reason, he thought of Gao Yang.

Even though Chunyu Bei was looking after him, he couldn't stay in the State of Chen forever.

Yuwen Jue remained calm: "What's wrong?"
