Cypress Boat Floating

When Lu Ci Qiu said that Zhang Shunbo had been to the God's House to conduct a transaction, everyone's face changed, including Liu Anshun.

"Something happened." Liu Anshun's first reaction after hearing this was that something happened, so his sentence was not a question, but an affirmative sentence. Although he did not hear the previous conversation between Lu Zhixing and the other person, based on his understanding of the God's House, something must have happened wherever they appeared.

"Yes." Lu Ci Qiu glanced at Lu Zhixing, and seeing that Lu Zhixing not only did not object but also nodded, he continued to say to Liu Anshun: "Zhang Shunbo had some grievances with Liu the Butcher. Under the guidance of his friends, he made a wish with the God House, hoping that Liu the Butcher would disappear. As a result, Liu the Butcher died in his own home a few days later.

No one knew about this, and Liu the Butcher's wife also planned to bury the body like this. However, after three days, the body suddenly turned blue all over, which was very strange. Mrs. Liu was sure that her husband was murdered, so she came to the Dali Temple to file a complaint. "Lu Ci Qiu thought of the body in the morgue and shuddered. He really couldn't think about the body too much. If he thought about it too much, he felt his stomach cramping and he was about to vomit on the spot.

"Will a corpse turn blue after death? Is it poisoned?" Liu Anshun was puzzled. He had seen countless corpses, but he had never seen the kind of corpse that Lu Ci Qiu described that would turn blue after death. No matter how he looked at or listened to this corpse, he felt that there was something wrong.

Lu Ci Qiu was unable to answer Liu Anshun's question: "So this is why I came here. We suspect that the God's House had poisoned Liu the Butcher, which led to this situation. Normally, poisoning should not cause the person to turn green three days after death."

Lu Zhixing listened to him in silence, then asked, "Did Zhang Shunbo tell us anything about the shrine?"

"I asked him about his experience in the shrine, and he said he couldn't remember anything, not even a single thing. He only knew that his good friend Wang Ren took him there, but I sent someone to look for that Wang Ren, but he has disappeared and cannot be found." Lu Ci Qiu spread his hands helplessly. He had done what he should do, asked what he should ask, and investigated what he should investigate. He really couldn't find any other clues, so he came to Lu Zhixing for help.

The three of them sat opposite each other, and no one continued to speak. They were all thinking about how to resolve this matter. The sudden appearance of the shrine and the sudden murder. If they were told that the murder had nothing to do with the shrine, they would definitely not believe it.

Liu Anshun looked around at the two of them. He knew very well that he didn't have the brain to think about a murder case. The purpose of his coming here was to help Lu Zhixing investigate the Cult of the Gods. He could only do his best. He really couldn't do these things.

Seeing that the other two had no intention of picking up their chopsticks, and Wei Wangshu and Ye Jianqing were playing the game of "you pick up the food for me" across from him, his own stomach had already started to growl. After thinking about it, he decided to eat first, so he quickly ate something delicious to fill his stomach.

While they were discussing, Wei Wangshu, who was sitting next to Lu Zhixing, saw Ye Jianqing coming, and with a smile on his face, he pulled her to sit next to him.

They didn't have a good chat in the mansion last time, and she had been thinking about continuing to talk to her to hear what her feelings for Lu Ci Qiu were. And the last time she entered the palace, she heard her mother say that her eighth brother was very concerned about Ye Jianqing, which made her want to gossip all the time. It was a pity that they had been too busy recently and had no time.

"Qing'er, come, eat something first. It's already this late. You must be tired from running around with your eighth brother." Wei Wangshu had someone bring two more sets of bowls and chopsticks. Now there was one set placed in front of Ye Jianqing. Wei Wangshu kept putting food into her bowl.

Ye Jianqing said "Thank you, Princess" while carefully holding the bowl and chopsticks. She always felt that Wei Wangshu was too enthusiastic towards her, so enthusiastic that it didn't seem like the kind of enthusiasm a princess should have. She was always a little nervous.

She had heard countless people say that the Princess of Qin was a very capable woman, who was able to manage the palace in perfect order, and who made the King of Qin not take a concubine for her sake. She was efficient and steady in her work, and was a role model for the women in the capital to learn from.

But why is it that such a powerful woman always smiles so brightly every time she sees Ye Jianqing, but Ye Jianqing can't see any fakeness in this smile. But Wei Wangshu treats people so sincerely, and does not look down on Ye Jianqing because of her identity. Wei Wangshu looks at everyone equally.

But Ye Jianqing didn't think she was that familiar with Wei Wangshu. Why did he treat her like that? Was there anything she needed? But no, Ye Jianqing knew herself very well. She didn't have much wisdom, and she couldn't fight the two old foxes in front of her in ancient times. She didn't have much martial arts either. She only knew the grappling skills that had always been with her. At most, she integrated the so-called martial arts here to make her martial arts a little higher.

Therefore, there was really nothing about her that was worthy of the other party's covetousness. Realizing this, she felt even more embarrassed when facing Wei Wangshu's enthusiasm.

"Qing'er, how are you doing recently?" Wei Wangshu looked at Ye Jianqing who was still smiling. Ye Jianqing could indeed see the tenderness on her face, but this made her even more at a loss, and she even felt that her speech was a bit lisp.

"It's... pretty good."

"That's good. It's really hard for you to follow Eighth Brother. Eighth Brother is young and not mature enough. You have to bear more in many aspects."

Wei Wangshu's words were confusing, so Ye Jianqing naturally understood that he wanted him to protect Lu Ci Qiu. Naturally, he did not refute it. He nodded repeatedly and said, "I will protect the Eighth Prince."

When Wei Wangshu heard her say this, he knew that she had probably misunderstood his meaning, but she didn't want to force Ye Jianqing to question him. If Ye Jianqing and his eighth brother were really interested in each other...

Wei Wangshu glanced at her husband secretly. The sensitivity between husband and wife made Lu Zhixing quickly feel his wife's gaze. He immediately looked over, secretly gave him a smile, and turned around to continue talking to Lu Ci Qiu.

Wei Wangshu, defeated by her husband's smile, blushed secretly, but couldn't help laughing. Worried about being discovered, she coughed twice secretly and turned her attention back to the matter between Ye Jianqing and Lu Ciqiu.

Although she didn't know it, her actions had already been seen by Ye Jianqing.

Ye Jianqing didn't understand why Lu Zhixing and Wei Wangshu seemed to be in love. Didn't the princes in ancient times marry many women? But so far, she seemed to have only heard of Wei Wangshu and had never seen other women around Lu Zhixing.

She believed in love, after all, she grew up in love, her parents were very loving, but she did not believe in the love of the ancient princes and emperors. The history books and costume dramas she had read told her that these people only had power in their eyes and hearts, and women were just tools that they could use.

If they want to gain higher power, they can do so through marriage. They can have three wives and four concubines. They can love one person today and another person tomorrow. So Ye Jianqing doesn't understand the love between Lu Zhixing and Wei Wangshu.

But she also knew that this was not something she should ask or say, so she chose to shut up and eat obediently.

"Qing'er, how is the progress between you and your eighth brother?" After the redness on Wei Wangshu's face faded, he moved closer to Ye Jianqing and asked.

"???" This question really confused Ye Jianqing. What progress? What's going on? What progress?

"When I was your age, I was already engaged to the prince, and we will get married when he returns from the battlefield. You are not young anymore, it's time to think about yourself." Wei Wangshu's heart and eyes were full of thoughts for Ye Jianqing.

She has always had a good eye for people. From the first moment she saw Ye Jianqing, she felt that they were compatible with her. Even if she could not marry her eighth brother, she was thinking about whether she could find a suitable person for Ye Jianqing.

If the eighth brother really wanted to marry her, not to mention the Concubine, Lu Zhixing would not allow it. Ye Jianqing's status was too low, and if the eighth brother's heart was not firm enough, I'm afraid it would be difficult for the two of them to be together.

Since she got along well with Ye Jianqing, Wei Wangshu didn't want to see Ye Jianqing get hurt in the end. If possible, she would like to help him as much as she can. If her eighth brother doesn't want to do that at that time, she can still find a better marriage for Ye Jianqing.

“Ah… this…” Ye Jianqing really didn’t expect that she was urged to get married when she was only a teenager!!! You know, in modern times, she is still in high school at this age!!!

Ye Jianqing felt that his whole body had become stiff. He forced a forced smile and replied to Wei Wangshu in a stiff tone: "Thank you, Princess, for thinking about me. However, my indenture is in the hands of the prince. Whatever the prince says is the truth. I am not in a hurry to find an in-law. I will find one naturally if I am destined to be with you."

"Yes, yes, yes, no hurry, no hurry." Wei Wangshu nodded. Ye Jianqing was right. She was a little anxious. If the two of them were really interested, they would have to be given some time to arrange things.

"Why did the princess suddenly ask about this?" Ye Jianqing asked quietly. Wei Wangshu's move really made her feel helpless, so she wanted to ask the princess why she suddenly came up with this idea and who made her want to be a matchmaker.

"It's nothing. I just felt that I had a good relationship with you, Qing'er, so I wanted to think about you. I thought that if you encounter something in the future, you would have a home." Wei Wangshu's sincere words touched Ye Jianqing, although she didn't know what the relationship between getting along well and being a matchmaker was.
