Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Liang Qian held Yuwen Jue in one hand and a small shovel in the other, looking at the vast expanse of white snow and carefully identifying the location.

Speaking of wintersweet, she thought of the green-calyx plum tree in the courtyard of Hanzhang Palace, and her eyes narrowed.

Ever since she was possessed by evil spirits, Hanzhang Palace has been empty.

Although no one lives there, we still need to ask someone to chop down the tree, so that people won’t imitate her in making cakes with flowers…

A gust of cold wind blew past, and Liang Qian shrank her neck.

The wintersweet forest that should have bloomed in the snow was ravaged by a fire, leaving only charred remains. Now covered with a layer of white snow, it hides the shocking scene underneath.

Yuwen Jue pursed his lips and watched in silence.

There was no Merlin here in the previous life.

But this time, not only is there Merlin, there is also a secret passage...

Yuwen Jue lowered his eyes and looked at the person beside him as if unintentionally. He couldn't help but tighten the hand he was holding. His heart seemed to be covered with a layer of snow, cold and heavy.

Since stepping into the snow, Liang Qian just looked around and occasionally spoke a few words to him.

Yuwen Jue's dark and cold eyes showed no emotion, and his tone was as calm as usual: "Xianxian, what are you looking for? Do you need to send others away?"

Liang Qian didn't look at him, sighed helplessly, and answered irrelevantly: "If it hadn't snowed suddenly, it wouldn't have been so difficult to find."

Yuwen Jue looked at the person who was searching intently with a dimmed look in his eyes.

Liang Qian frowned, fearing that it would be dark if she delayed any longer.

The snow under their feet squeaked as they stepped on it, and unknowingly, they left several sets of footprints behind them.

Merlin is already located in a remote area, and after a heavy snowfall, it seems even more isolated from the world.

The snow was wet and thick, and in some places it was deeper than the ankles.

Yuwen Jue sighed inwardly and looked at the person who seemed distressed.

"Why don't you have someone sweep the snow away? You're not in good health yet, how can you keep freezing in the snow?"

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Liang Qian's wandering eyes suddenly fixed, pointed at a certain place with a small shovel, turned around and said to him: "Look, I found it, it's right there."

Without waiting for Yuwen Jue to look over, Liang Qian let go of his hand and went to a small snow pile first.

When Yuwen Jue approached, Liang Qian was already squatting on the ground, digging with a small shovel.

Yuwen Jue sighed slightly, then squatted down and took the small shovel from Liang Qian's hand: "Let me do it."

After digging twice, Liang Qian grabbed his hand.

Yuwen Jue raised his eyebrows and met a pair of dark eyes.

There was a welling in his eyes, as if he had something to say.

It was strangely cold against his fingertips.

Yuwen Jue frowned, put down the shovel, grabbed Liang Qian's hand and put it in his arms to warm it, looking at her puzzledly: "What's wrong?"

Liang Qian looked at him, and her voice was unusually serious and low in these days.

"On the night we moved into Meilin, I took advantage of Guya's sleep and buried a red cedar box here. Inside was... something I saw in the secret room of Renshou Hall."

Yuwen Jue was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on. He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Liang Qian added: "That day, I deliberately found an opportunity to kill the eunuch in Renshou Palace who could read and write, and took the opportunity to push Cui Hao into Renshou Palace."

Seeing that Yuwen Jue did not interrupt, Liang Qian continued, "It was also by chance that one night, Cui Hao said that he saw the Queen Mother enter the Buddhist temple alone. In the middle of the night, he felt strange and secretly followed her.

Who would have thought that there was no trace of the Queen Mother in the Buddhist temple? Cui Hao thought he was just half asleep and thought it was just dazzled. But just as he was about to leave, he vaguely heard a low cry..."

Yuwen Jue unconsciously increased the strength of his grip on her hand. Liang Qian glanced at him silently and sighed, "After Cui Hao told me this, I became suspicious and wanted to find out the truth, but I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't dare to ask him to investigate.

Later, I tried to probe Aying and wanted to borrow her hand, but unfortunately... I was still discovered by the Queen Mother and failed.

It was not until I returned to Jinye and completely took control of the palace that I… At that time, although the Queen Mother took the medicine I prescribed and slept soundly all day, she must have known in her heart that I had discovered the secret room, and—

Liang Qian sighed and continued, "I think this is why she is determined to kill me regardless of the consequences."

Yuwen Jue lowered his eyes slightly.

Liang Qian also held his hand with hers. "I'm not sure if you know or have seen these things, but after thinking about it, I decided to put them away and leave them to you to deal with."

Yuwen Jue said nothing, but looked up at her with a lonely gaze.

The snow was silent, and Liang Qian was also looking at him quietly.

Just like that year when they came out of Renshou Hall, they snuggled together in the heavy snow, keeping each other company.

Liang Qian sighed and leaned into his arms, hugged him tightly, then pulled her hand away, picked up a small shovel beside her, and started digging on her own.

Soon a hole was dug out on the wet mud ground, revealing a small wooden box inside.

Yuwen Jue lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Liang Qian glanced at him, took out the wooden box, turned around and went to a burnt tree trunk to continue digging.

Suddenly her body shook, and Yuwen Jue hugged her from behind, his somewhat cold chin resting on her warm neck.

He was silent for a moment before saying, "The one who actually poisoned Gao Xuan was not him, but her."

Gao Xuan is Emperor Shenwu.

Liang Qian turned her head and met Yuwen Jue's eyes.

He spoke softly and quietly.

"After Gao Xuan decided to depose her and install Concubine Xue as his new mistress, she accidentally overheard Gao Xuan's secret conversation with his confidant, after which they had an argument.

Maybe it was out of reluctance, maybe it was out of impulse. Anyway, she wanted to kill Gao Xuan, and she really killed him. As for Yuwen Heng——"

Yuwen Jue lowered his head, paused, and then raised his eyes, "I just took all the blame for her, and the letter you handed me was the suicide letter that Yuwen Heng wrote in prison, which concealed the truth.

If I hadn't experienced this in my previous life, I certainly wouldn't understand his intentions, but...if I guessed correctly, the letter was not left for me, but for Yu Wenzheng to read. As for the reason, I think it was for me."

Liang Qian stared at Yuwen Jue in a daze.

How could it not be?

Doesn’t Emperor Zhou’s attitude towards him explain everything?

So what about Aong?

Liang Qian couldn't understand.

Since it was Yuwen Heng who gave the letter to Aweng, how could Aweng not know the truth? But if he knew the truth, why did he help to conceal it?

The so-called report is even more ridiculous.

……

Liang Qian's fingers gently stroked Yuwen Jue's cheek: "There is something I want to tell you. After returning to Jinye, I wanted to erase the records of you in the court. I never thought that someone had done it before me. Lu Mingye and Lu Wanying mistakenly thought it was me. In fact, not only was it not me, but even I don't know who that person is..."

Maybe it’s Gao Qian, maybe it’s Lu Chen.

In this world, not all questions have answers.

The sun had completely set and the carriage was becoming increasingly darker.

Liang Qian let down the curtain and looked back, her eyes feeling a little uncomfortable.

In the dim light, a hand reached out.

Liang Qian held it tightly, sat down beside him, and her eyes inadvertently glanced at the unopened box beside her.

The box contains not only some old memories, but also a sadomasochistic love story that is unknown to others.

As the sound of horse hooves clattered, she recalled Lu Chen's eyes before he died, and the rumors she had heard.

It is said that a fire suddenly broke out in the middle of the night when Yuwen Heng stayed at the inn...
