Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Chapter 639: A Foot of Cold Light

Liang Qian frowned subconsciously and looked at Wang Tingyue.

Their eyes met only briefly in the air. His face was a little paler than usual, and beads of sweat could be vaguely seen oozing from his hairline.

Liang Qian had an idea in her mind. He must have been enduring the pain from his old injuries and holding on until now.

Lu Wanying glanced at Liang Jiao lying on the ground, then stared at Wang Tingyue suspiciously.

Such a firm answer was really unexpected.

She knew more or less what kind of person Wang Tingyue was. He was very different from the wealthy young men in Jinye City. Otherwise, why would her father have valued him so much?

Lu Wanying shook her head and sighed deliberately: "Liang Jiao, look, this is the good husband you have been thinking about day and night. I never thought he would be so cruel and heartless that he would even abandon your own flesh and blood. Alas, you said that you would sacrifice your life for such a man. I really feel sorry for you! Why bother?"

"you shut up!"

Liang Jiao glared at him angrily, supported herself on the ground with her hands, stepped on the hem of her skirt, and stood up shakily.

Then, she turned to Wang Tingyue, tears flowing out from her red eyes.

"Wang Tingyue, no matter what I do, you won't love me?"

Wang Tingyue frowned, wanting to say something, looked at Liang Qian silently, and reached out to support the person who was crying.

"A Jiao..."

Perhaps sensing the strange atmosphere, the baby in the cradle suddenly started crying.

Liang Jiao ignored him and just grabbed Wang Tingyue's arm tightly, looking straight into his eyes, pulling the corners of her mouth, crying and laughing.

"Wang Tingyue, you said the other day that you would be devoted to me in the future, but today—"

She sniffed, wiped away her tears, and continued, "Wang Tingyue, I was wrong. I shouldn't have forced someone who never had me in his heart to love me again and again. But after so many years, I have been with you for so many years, but in the end, there is nothing. How can I be willing to accept this?"

"Ajiao——"

Wang Tingyue couldn't bear it, he sighed and wanted to explain, but now was not the time to explain.

He quickly glanced at the two parties in a stalemate outside, waiting for an opportunity to take action.

He didn't want to be pushed suddenly by Liang Jiao, which inadvertently affected the wound on his left shoulder. The pain made him sway and he almost fell down.

Wang Tingyue looked over again, Liang Jiao only looked at Lu Wanying: "You are right, it is not worth it, you can kill them both, please do as you please, I only ask you to let me and the innocent child go."

Lu Wanying pursed her lips and watched with interest.

While no one was paying attention, Liang Qian quietly gave Wang Tingyue a look, and her bound hands slowly slid towards a certain place around her waist.

The person who had prepared the carriage and horses had returned and walked up to Lu Wanying: "Master, you can leave now."

Lu Wanying smiled and nodded, believing that they should not delay any further.

The day before yesterday, Zhou Jun and Gongxi Jin had set out from Pingwu and led their troops to Liyang.

Now that she knew Gongxi Jin was Lu Xiu, she had to do something.

Lu Wanying was about to speak when she heard Liang Jiao say, "I have something to confess. I colluded with them to deceive you. In fact, Lu Xiu is not Gong Xijin, but——"

Before she could finish her words, she saw Wang Tingyue rushing towards her.

Suddenly, arrows rained down, and the surroundings were filled with shouting and the sounds of people being hit by arrows.

Lu Wanying was horrified and took a step back in a hurry, only to find his back against a wall of people. At the same time, something cold and sharp touched his neck.

"do not move."

There was a low threat in my ear.

Lu Wanying instinctively glanced to the side and immediately felt pain in her neck.

But she didn't have time to cry out in pain, because the two people who were holding Liang Qian hostage fell to the ground and were unconscious.

On the other side, Ruizhu was hit by several arrows and bleeding from all seven orifices.

The maid holding the child was also hit by several arrows.

Just as the child was about to fall to the ground, a pair of hands caught him steadily.

Lu Wanying gritted her teeth: "Liang Qian! How dare you plot against me!"

Before Liang Qian could open her mouth, her face suddenly changed. She saw Wang Tingyue's pupils shrink and he turned his head to look behind him.

Without Wang Tingyue's protection, Liang Jiao was exposed.

Liang Qian looked at the bloody dagger in Liang Jiao's hand, and a chill spread from the bottom of her heart.

Before Wang Tingyue fell down, he seemed to have discovered something. His body, which was about to fall, struggled to crash into Liang Jiao, as if he was using up all his remaining strength.

Liang Jiao was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground, with the blood-stained dagger in her hand thrown out.

With a clang, it fell not far away, covered with a layer of dirt.

Liang Jiao felt pain, gritted her teeth and raised her head, but her eyes froze immediately when they met one place.

Nian'er was seen being held tightly in Wang Tingyue's arms, and his arm was clearly pierced by an arrow.

Did he push her away just to save himself? But what did he do?

Liang Jiao choked up in her throat, looked at Nian'er, then looked at her own bloodshot hands, her body trembling with cold.

Seeing the blood under Wang Tingyue's body increasing more and more.

Liang Qian was so anxious that she wanted to rush over. She called Qingzhu at the top of her voice while looking around.

Liang Jiao stared at Wang Tingyue in a daze, opened her mouth wide, and shook her head vigorously, as if she wanted to explain something, but she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Stop everyone!"

Suddenly there was a loud shout, and all the people fighting stopped and looked over.

Liang Qian grabbed Lu Wanying in front of her and clenched the dagger in her hand.

The only sounds in the yard were the crying of babies and the groaning of the wounded.

Liang Qian said in a very cold voice: "If anyone dares to do this again, I will kill her!"

Qingzhu ran up with a sword in hand.

"lady."

"Tie them all up!"

Liang Qian pushed Lu Wanying to Qingzhu without saying a word and took a few steps forward to look at Wang Tingyue.

"Wang Tingyue, how are you?"

As he spoke, he helped him up and anxiously checked his injuries.

Compared to the knife wound in the lower back caused by Liang Jiao, Liang Qian was more worried about the arrow in his arm.

Before they came, she had the arrows poisoned.

Liang Qian took a look at his face, her heart trembled violently, and she hurriedly took off the jewel ring on her finger.

Wang Tingyue's lips turned pale as he handed the child to her with difficulty: "I... am fine."

"Don't touch my child!"

Liang Jiao suddenly woke up, jumped up and was about to rush over, but was held tightly by someone, who cursed: "Liang Qian, you are not allowed to touch my child with your dirty hands, Nian'er is my child!"

Liang Qian took the child with cold eyes and handed it to Mu Shan. She glanced coldly at Liang Jiao and was about to speak when someone grabbed her hand.

She endured it and said, "Wang Tingyue."

Wang Tingyue shook his head gently at her: "Ah'an, don't blame her."

Liang Qian closed her eyes and remained silent for a moment. She said nothing, then took out the antidote from the ring and fed it into his mouth.

Wang Tingyue swallowed the medicine and looked at Liang Jiao, who was kneeling on the ground a few steps away. He explained, "A Jiao, the reason why I just said that was just to make them relax their vigilance."

Liang Jiao lowered her head, feeling sad.

But in a moment, she started laughing again, she couldn't stop crying, and her voice was trembling.

"Wang Tingyue, I'm going to kill you, don't you blame me? Why do you still care about my life or death?"

Wang Tingyue took a moment to calm down and sighed, "Ajiao, you are my wife... How can I ignore you and the child? I have wronged you over the years... I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a husband..."

As he spoke, he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood and didn't move at all.
