Cypress Boat Floating

After staying in the dark for a long time, Ye Jianqing felt that she was about to develop claustrophobia, and was even a little afraid of the night, so when Yuqin was about to put out the candle, she repeatedly stopped her, leaving the candlelight on all night.

Yuqin wanted to wait on her side, but she was a strong person and didn't like being seen unable to move, so she sent her back to rest, saying that she could do it. Yuqin refused but couldn't persuade her, so she spread a mattress next to her and listened to the noise here at any time.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Only Ye Jianqing was lying on the bed with her eyes open, staring blankly at the ceiling. What kept coming to her mind was not the fact that Yuqin had paired her up with Lu Ciqiu, but the question Lu Ciqiu had asked her before he left: "Don't you consider Du Rou and Jiang Wanyin your friends? Why do you treat them so differently?"

The faces of Jiang Wanyin and Du Rou switched back and forth in her mind. Ye Jianqing had always believed in her sixth sense since she was a child. After coming here, she met not many people but not few either. However, apart from the two brothers Lu Ci Qiu and Lu Zhixing, the ones she had really come into contact with the most were Du Rou and Jiang Wanyin.

The strange thing is that Jiang Wanyin, like herself, had traveled through time from the modern era, but she inexplicably felt that there was a sense of danger about Jiang Wanyin.

At the beginning, Ye Jianqing wondered if he was really like what Lu Ci Qiu said, and that he had become emotional from the very beginning when interacting with Jiang Wanyin because of his dissatisfaction with her.

But after thinking about it carefully, Ye Jianqing felt that it was not the case. She was not that kind of person. Lu Ci Qiu's attitude towards Jiang Wanyin was only limited to his attitude towards her, not his attitude towards her.

Jiang Wanyin is a very smart person, but at the same time, she is too smart, which makes her unable to adapt to the local customs and integrate into this world. People like her are very dangerous here.

A person who possesses modern wisdom and modern technology comes to ancient times. Although she may not necessarily be able to promote modern technology here, if she blindly puts herself above everyone else, then such a person is dangerous. She will only expose her differences from this world. She will look at ancient people with modern thinking.

People like this usually suffer because of the modern thinking that they value and think is superior.

Ye Jianqing never dared to look down on anyone here, nor did she dare to easily reveal that she was from the modern era. Even with Lu Ci Qiu, who had been reborn several times with her, she did not dare to recognize him easily at the beginning. This was Ye Jianqing's way of dealing with the world.

During the time he had been in contact with Jiang Wanyin, Ye Jianqing had come to understand her a little bit, and naturally knew her thoughts, so Ye Jianqing would be a little wary of her.

But Du Rou is different from her. Du Rou has a straightforward personality. Perhaps it is because her father has doted on her since she was a child. Children who grow up in a loving family will always share their love with others without hesitation.

So in comparison, Ye Jianqing would naturally be closer to Du Rou. Besides, Ye Jianqing still remembered the last time she met Jiang Wanyin in the backyard of Chunmanlou. She always felt that Chunmanlou was not simple. When she recovered, she would really have to investigate it carefully.

Now that she has woken up, it is time for her to think carefully about who is harming her.

Not many people knew her birth date, but Ye Jianqing remembered that there was a place where her birth date might be - Lu Ci Qiu had helped her make a fake household registration and registered her to enter the palace, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which recorded the palace registration, must have it.

"Oh, this person has quite a lot of abilities." Thinking of this, Ye Jianqing snorted coldly. The person who could go to the Imperial Household Department to steal her birth date and horoscope must have quite a lot of abilities. If this person doesn't have connections with the people in the Imperial Household Department, then it must be someone in the palace who wants to harm her.

But she doesn't know the other people, so who would want to harm her for no reason?

Lying down always felt uncomfortable in the waist and back, Ye Jianqing tried to sit up, but the strength in her hands was not enough to support her. After trying several times, there was really no other way and she had to give up. She just lay there and continued to think.

She went through all the people she had come into contact with in her mind first, and then lined up the people she had met in her previous life, the ones who were most suspicious, but no matter how much she thought about it, she still couldn't figure it out.

Finally, she thought of the most unlikely possibility, that she was a scapegoat.

Now everyone knows that Lu Ci Qiu has a guard with good martial arts skills. Lu Ci Qiu values ​​this guard very much, and she is a woman.

Those in the mansion who knew about their relationship were all discussing when she would be able to climb into Lu Ci Qiu's bed. Wouldn't those outside who didn't know think that she was Lu Ci Qiu's bed-warmer, or even mistakenly believe that there was really a possibility between them?

If they can't harm Lu Ci Qiu, then they will have to harm me. If they get rid of me, who will protect Lu Ci Qiu...

Ye Jianqing couldn't help but exclaimed, she was surprised at her own train of thought.

Shocking! Wonderful! Awesome!

As she praised herself like this, she felt that she seemed to have found the real reason.

She had figured things out, but as for the next step, she felt that her brain capacity was no longer enough to continue thinking about this problem. She had slept all day, so she shouldn't be sleepy. But for some reason, maybe lying still makes people sleepy, she gradually felt sleepy and very tired.

Without further thought, he closed his eyes and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

On the other side, Lu Ci Qiu, who had been sent back by Ye Jianqing to rest early, finally relaxed because of Ye Jianqing's awakening. It would not have mattered if he didn't relax, as soon as he relaxed, he fell asleep on the bed without any hesitation.

But the quality of sleep was just so-so. While Ye Jianqing was thinking a lot and even thought that he was Lu Ci Qiu's scapegoat, Lu Ci Qiu was having a nightmare.

When Ye Jianqing was already drowsy and gradually closing his eyes to fall asleep, he was awakened by a nightmare and sat blankly beside the bed.

Huai Xi had been waiting outside. When he heard the noise in the room, he quickly pushed open the door and came in to see. When he saw Lu Ci Qiu sitting blankly beside the bed, he thought something was wrong with Lu Ci Qiu, so he walked quickly to his side and said, "My Lord, what happened to you?"

Lu Ci Qiu was still immersed in the nightmare. When he heard Huai Xi's voice, he just stood there without any reaction. Huai Xi, who was frightened by Ye Jianqing's amnesia during this period, thought that one person was cured and the other person was suffering from amnesia. He stretched out his hand and tried to wave it in front of him to test Lu Ci Qiu.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Lu Ci Qiu slapped it back: "The king is fine."

Hearing Lu Ci Qiu's voice, Huai Xi finally felt relieved and comforted himself madly. He was too old to stand such scares.

"Then what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well? Did you have a nightmare?" Huai Xi felt sorry for his own prince, so he walked behind him and helped him smooth his back.

Lu Ci Qiu nodded: "I had a nightmare."

"Dreams are the opposite of what they really are." Huai Xi comforted him.

"How is Qing'er?"

"He said he went to bed."

"I just dreamed that Qing'er not only didn't wake up, but also left here and went to a very far place, a place I don't know." Lu Ci Qiu could no longer remember the specific details of the dream. He could only remember the general idea. He only knew that the place was a very scary place.

Everyone was holding a weapon more terrifying than a bow and crossbow, a weapon that could kill people from a distance with just a flick of the finger. He dreamed that Ye Jianqing was moving freely in such a place, and the things shot out of that terrifying weapon hit Ye Jianqing. The other party did not take her life, but kept torturing her, constantly shooting her hands and feet, and trampling her dignity into the ground.

Lu Ci Qiu couldn’t remember the rest. The story didn’t have a sequel. He knew that he would probably completely forget this dream in a while, but the feeling of fear in the dream was real. He could feel Ye Jianqing’s despair at that time.

"Your Highness, these are all fake. Miss Ye is resting well in her room. You were just scared during this period." Huai Xi saw that his prince's face turned pale when he thought of this nightmare. He had not rested well to begin with, and he was worried that if his prince kept thinking about these things, it would seriously affect his mood.

"I'll go see her." Lu Ci Qiu said and stood up.

During this period, he stayed with Ye Jianqing every night. Whenever he left her, he felt uneasy. He was too scared. He was afraid that those things would continue to happen. He was afraid that Ye Jianqing would really leave him forever.

He didn't know whether the rebirth could continue. If not, he would lose Ye Jianqing forever. If possible, he didn't want Ye Jianqing's life to be so short.

Huai Xi couldn't stop him, and he easily came to the door of Ye Jianqing's room. There was candlelight inside the door. Lu Ci Qiu didn't know for a moment whether Ye Jianqing was asleep or not. When he came to the door, he began to retreat.

Hearing Ye Jianqing's voice inside becoming calmer, as if he had fallen asleep, Lu Ci Qiu was even more afraid to knock on the door. After hesitating for a while, he still chose to knock on the door.

There was no response, but instead the door next door opened.

"Your Highness, what's going on?" Yuqin got up immediately when she heard a noise next door. She thought something had happened to Ye Jianqing, but she didn't expect to see Lu Ci Qiu at the door.

"Is Qing'er asleep?" Lu Ci Qiu asked in a low voice. He was afraid that his voice would be too loud and disturb Ye Jianqing.

"He should have fallen asleep." Yuqin nodded.

"Why don't you put out the candles?"

"The girl wouldn't let me, saying it'd be better if it was brighter." Yuqin explained truthfully.

Lu Ci Qiu looked at the door, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

What on earth had happened to her during this period of time that she was afraid of the dark?
