Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

After lunch, Liang Huan took out the medicinal materials returned from the government doctor as usual, placed the bottles and jars found by his orders, and then prepared poisons based on the various medical prescriptions collected.

The Yingcao ointment last time was inconvenient to carry and the effect was not very good. Liang Hu wanted to improve it, but access was restricted in the Taishi Mansion. There was no other way to use the ingredients except to get a small amount from the doctor, which led to this paragraph. Time makes little progress.

Regardless of whether she enters the palace or not, poisoning is the best way she can think of to kill Gao Qian. Unfortunately, she has not been able to make a satisfactory poison so far.

Liang Huan looked distressed at the mess on the table.

"What, failed?"

Liang Huan looked up and saw Lu Xiu's extremely handsome face, a pair of eyes that saw everything, with a bit of ridicule.

Although she didn't tell him about her drug making, there was nothing in the courtyard that he didn't know about, not to mention that she had no intention of hiding it from him.

Liang Huan raised his eyes: "Didn't the husband ask questions knowingly?"

Being trapped here and making no progress in making the poison made her really worried. She was too lazy to give in, and she didn't even want to pretend.

Lu Xiu glanced at the table with foxy eyes, his eyes fell on her knotted eyebrows, but he smiled without saying a word.

Liang Huan knew that if he continued to do it today, it would still be a failure, so he simply asked Qiu Xi and others to put the things away.

After Liang Huan had finished cleaning her hands, Lu Xiu had already taken off his purple robe and gold-banded court clothes. He was leaning on the couch wearing only light-colored casual clothes. He rubbed his eyebrows and said casually: "The datura pollen used last time was not good?"

"what for?"

Lu Xiu put down his hand: "Instead of using these conventional materials, it is better to continue to use your previous ones."

Liang Huan was a little surprised: "I thought you——"

Lu Xiu raised his eyebrows: "You think I'm trying to stop you by not letting you leave the house?"

Liang Huan lowered his eyes and cursed, isn't it?

He raised his eyelids lightly, picked up the tea cup on the small table next to him, and smiled: "October 12th, Yimao year."

Liang Huan blinked: "Does everyone know?" After asking, he immediately shook his head: "If everyone knew, I probably wouldn't be here."

Lu Xiu chuckled: "Not too stupid."

Liang Huan: "Does my husband believe it?"

Lu Xiu lowered his head to taste the tea and frowned: "I only believe what I believe."

She knew very well what Duke Wei's attitude was that day, why would he let her go so easily? She didn't believe it. It's not that he didn't want to ask before, but Lu Xiu never mentioned it, but he took the initiative to talk about it today.

"This matter must be difficult, right?" She was carried all the way from the Duke's residence to the car by Lu Xiu. You must know that there were many people who came to express their condolences.

"Fortunately."

"So I'm not allowed to leave the house during this period just to avoid the limelight?"

"Isn't it just you?" Lu Xiu put down the tea cup and looked at her: "Make me a pot of tea."

Liang Huan was stunned for a moment. She thought he was slacking off so he didn't go to the court. She didn't expect it was because of this, but could he escape by hiding in the mansion like this?

Lu Xiu sighed: "Duke Wei has passed away."

She remembered very clearly that on the day when Duke Wei wanted to kill her, before he took action on her, he told her that he would not die soon...

Liang Huan looked at Lu Xiu quietly and wanted to ask if Duke Wei Guo died.

Qiu Xi held the Yao plate and called her softly.

Liang Huan came back to his senses, walked forward with his head bowed, and knelt down beside the table, his thoughts changing all over the place.

There was silence in the room until the tea was ready.

Liang Huan thought about it again and again, and finally decided to speak: "Does the husband want to use me as a cover to refuse the marriage arranged by the grand master?"

The Taishi's words in the morning could not have been said for no reason. It must have been something Lu Xiu did.

Lu Xiu turned his face slightly and said nothing.

Liang Huan said: "That day, my lord knew that the person behind the rock was me, but he said it was Cao Luyun. Wasn't it because he had been dissatisfied with Prime Minister Cao for a long time and deliberately used this matter to humiliate him? And my husband did not want to do this for the Lu family. It's a marriage, and we are related to the Cao family."

Liang Huan said frankly: "Today the grand master is testing my tone, hoping that I can keep my peace, but in fact, I have done nothing, so my husband is acting in my name, right?"

Lu Xiu lowered his head and smiled: "That's right, that's also wrong."

Liang Huan raised his head and said: "As long as my husband no longer imprisons me like this, I am willing to be a gunman!"

If Lu Xiu kept her trapped like this, she wouldn't even have a chance to see him, let alone enter the palace.

"What can you do if you are unwilling?"

Lu Xiu knew that this poison was made for Gao Qian. If he really wanted to protect him, he would not let her refine it without stopping him. If she was so blatantly making poison at his residence, wasn't she testing him?

But speaking of not protecting her, he kept looking at her. Last time, he almost succeeded, but he sabotaged it at the critical moment, which actually changed everything that followed.

"What do you want, Master Husband?"

Liang Huan really didn't want to continue guessing, so it would be better to say it openly.

Lu Xiu couldn't help but laugh: "I eat the emperor's salary and bear the emperor's worries. As a minister, I am loyal to the emperor and protect the emperor. Isn't that what I should do?"

It's just for others to say this. Isn't it ridiculous for him, a traitorous official who will control the government in the future, to say this?

If he hadn't collapsed, he would be implicated. Liang Huan really wanted to try the medicine on him.

Lu Xiu looked at her and smiled lightly: "You only want revenge, don't you?"

Liang Huan nodded.

Lu Xiu nodded slightly: "What if what you asked for really succeeds?"

Then?

Liang Huan listened to him: "Feng Qingyue, Cui Hao... who else?"

Liang Huan was a little shocked. He really knew everything about her!

Lu Xiu raised his lips and smiled: "Even if you succeed, they will all end up the way you want them to, but what happens after they take revenge?"

Liang Huan was absent-minded for a moment.

She lived her whole life for revenge, and what she wanted in her heart was to make them pay with blood and suffer the same humiliation and torture that she had suffered.

Liang Huan looked at him intently and shook his head: "I don't know, but I promised at the beginning that after the great revenge is avenged, I will use this remaining life to repay my husband for saving his life in the past. I will keep it in mind!

Lu Xiu just stared at her, with a cold look on his face.

"What's the use of my life?"

Liang Huan was speechless.

It's really useless. He agreed at first because he just thought his life was boring.

Lu Xiu picked up the tea cup, lowered his eyes and sipped the tea.

After the silence, he put down the cup and stood up, looking at her indifferently.

"Didn't you once ask me why I know your name?"

Liang Huan raised her face to look at him. Yes, that day was the first time they met. It was dark at night and she was still covering her face, but he could recognize her at a glance and call her by name.

Why?

Seeing her serious expression, Lu Xiu smiled deeply.

"You can't remember it at all?"

Liang Huan was a little confused, and carefully searched for all the scenes that might be related to him in his past memories. Unfortunately, some of them were only those who were indifferent and unfeeling, but there was no result.

"Didn't you advise me not to burn the Liumo Taoqi? Then do you want to see another painting?"

He knelt down to face her.

Liang Huan stared blankly, there was an unknown emotion in those deep eyes that she couldn't identify.
