Cypress Boat Floating

The garden of gardenias is about to bloom. The white petals are gradually withering and falling one by one into the soil where they were nurtured, turning into spring mud to protect the flowers. If they are well cared for, the flowers may grow again next year.

As the gardenias withered, July was coming to an end. Ye Jianqing was lying in the yard. Ever since she enjoyed the chaise longue prepared by him at the Imperial Master's Mansion last time, she felt that this chair was really comfortable. So after returning to the Prince Xian's Mansion, she got one for herself and placed it next to the gardenias. While smelling the fragrance of the flowers, she looked at the blue sky and thought about her future life. She thought that this kind of life was not bad.

It's just a pity that the summer is too long and the sun is too cruel. She has never tried lying in the yard during the day. After all, the weather is a bit hot.

But with the arrival of August, I began to feel the autumn, and I could even smell a slight autumn breeze when standing in the yard.

It’s a pity that she doesn’t have the ability to make the flowers in the yard bloom more beautifully.

When Lu Ci Qiu came back, Ye Jianqing dragged a chaise longue into the small pavilion in the yard. On one side was the sour plum juice she had prepared, and on the other side was some cool mung bean cake. She lay on the chair, covered her face with a book, and fell asleep.

Seeing Ye Jianqing resting, Lu Ci Qiu tiptoed over quietly, not daring to disturb her.

Unfortunately, although his voice was small, it still could not be hidden from Ye Jianqing who was not yet asleep. As soon as he walked into the pavilion, Ye Jianqing woke up, took down the book in his hand and greeted him.

"I'm home."

"Did I wake you up?" Lu Ci Qiu smiled at her, and his feet, which were originally standing on tiptoe, relaxed.

"No, I wasn't asleep. I was just thinking about something here." Ye Jianqing shook her head. Her chaise longue almost occupied the entire pavilion. When she wanted to stand up and move the chair so that Lu Ci Qiu could come in and sit down, she was stopped by Lu Ci Qiu.

"It's okay, just leave it there, I'll come over to see you."

"How was your day?" This kind of daily conversation was very common between them after their rebirth. If it was in the previous life, Ye Jianqing would never ask Lu Ci Qiu these questions, and never care about how Lu Ci Qiu was doing today. Lu Ci Qiu liked this kind of daily conversation very much, which made him feel that there was no distance between the two of them.

"It's okay. Anyway, when they go to court, those people always talk about the same few things. Today he did something wrong, and tomorrow he did something wrong. The court is as noisy as a vegetable market." Lu Ci Qiu shook his head helplessly. It's not that these people are bad, but men can be scary when they quarrel.

Ye Jianqing chuckled when she heard this. She had never seen what it was like for the imperial officials to attend court. What she had seen on TV dramas before was always a serious scene, with few people seeming to talk.

"After court today, I went to my second brother's house for dinner." Lu Ci Qiu said.

Ye Jianqing knew about this matter. Lu Ci Qiu had already given her a verbal message and told her about it, so she didn't wait for Lu Ci Qiu and ate her own food.

"Do you know what my second brother told me today?" Lu Ci Qiu looked at her mysteriously, as if he had heard a big secret.

"What?" Ye Jianqing asked cooperatively.

"We were cheated by that bastard Liu Miao." Speaking of this, Lu Ci Qiu was still angry, but he couldn't curse in front of Lu Zhixing, so he could only come back to Ye Jianqing and curse.

Ye Jianqing raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.

"The shrine has appeared a long time ago. Now anyone who is interested knows where it is." Lu Ci Qiu became more and more angry as he spoke. "That Liu Miao even used this condition to discuss cooperation with you. He is deliberately deceiving you!"

Ye Jianqing pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I already know. And, I also know where the God's House is."

This time it was Lu Ci Qiu's turn to be dumbfounded. He had just been stimulated by Lu Zhixing and was told that he had been cheated by Liu Miao. He originally came back to tell Ye Jianqing about it to remind Ye Jianqing, but she said she knew it!

She said, she knew!!!

Lu Ci Qiu stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say. So he was the last person to know?

"I went to see Rou'er today, and she told me." Ye Jianqing poked the petrified Lu Ci Qiu, asking him to listen to him.

"You went to the Du Mansion?" Lu Ci Qiu woke up after hearing the news.

Ye Jianqing nodded, and then told Lu Ci Qiu what he had learned from Du Rou.

"I just went to the Du Mansion and found out after I met Rouer. I have been thinking about this matter a lot. Do you know how the shrine appeared?" Ye Jianqing asked.

Lu Ci Qiu shook his head honestly: "Second brother only told me that the shrine appeared, but he didn't tell me when it appeared."

"The day after my accident."

Lu Ci Qiu and Ye Jianqing looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

The appearance of the Shinto House is not a problem, but the problem is that he appeared on the day after Ye Jianqing's accident. It is hard for Lu Ci Qiu not to suspect whether Ye Jianqing's incident is related to the Shinto House.

"Do you think your accident is related to the shrine?" Since it was related to Ye Jianqing, Lu Ci Qiu had to be more vigilant and could not afford any mistakes.

"I don't know." Ye Jianqing sighed. She just thought about it and felt that the two of them were really miserable now.

"Now, there is a person behind the scenes who is trying to kill me, and I don't know when he will make the move. And there is a new Sun over there who is closing in on you step by step. It is really troublesome that the two of us are being targeted by two organizations." Ye Jianqing had a terrible headache. The two of them had just been reborn, so why were they being targeted by so many people?

"Xinri is fine. As long as they don't make a move, or we find out who wants to attack me, then we still have a chance." Lu Ci Qiu looked at Ye Jianqing worriedly, "But your situation is a little more difficult. We don't even know who wants to attack me, and your birth date and time are in their hands."

"No!" Lu Ci Qiu suddenly thought of something.

"If they were using the birth date and time in the palace, that was made by someone I hired. It's fake. How could those people get your real birth date and time?"

"Someone was able to get my real birth date?" Ye Jianqing frowned. If that was the case, then what that person got was the birth date of this Ye Jianqing, or the birth date of the original Ye Jianqing?

With Jiang Wanyin around, it was hard for Ye Jianqing not to wonder if someone knew that she was a time traveler.

Trouble, really trouble.

"Don't think about these things for now, let's talk about the God's House first. What else did Du Rou tell you today?"

"After the shrine appeared, she actually went to see it secretly, but she didn't find anything unusual. Every day, people went in and out of the shrine to pray, but it seemed that those people were just there to pray, and there was nothing unusual. Later, when she knew that something happened to me, Rouer stopped going there and came to accompany me every day."

Du Rou's hatred for the shrine came from her mother. She thought it was the shrine that killed her mother. However, after the shrine appeared in the capital, she did not find any evidence to prove that it had anything to do with her mother. After her mother died, her father hid everything and did not let her know.

Therefore, she only had a vague understanding of the shrine, and naturally could not find anything from her perspective. In addition, the sudden accident of her best friend disturbed her mind and she could not continue the investigation.

"My second brother gave me some things today. They are all about what happened in the capital after the appearance of the shrine. Take a look." As he said that, Lu Ci Qiu handed the file he got from Lu Zhixing to Ye Jianqing.

He had these things in his hands when he came in. Ye Jianqing was very curious but didn't ask. He just waited for him to take them out on his own initiative.

"What did your second brother tell you?" Ye Jianqing took it, but was not in a hurry to open it. She wanted to hear what happened to Lu Zhixing first.

The two of them were away from this society for two months. Two months is neither long nor short. After all, a lot of things can happen. They were absent for two months and knew nothing. This was actually a very scary thing for them.

"About five people died in the past two months."

"How did those people die?" In the capital, death is very normal.

"For no reason, he died while lying at home." Lu Ci Qiu looked serious.

“!!!” Ye Jianqing was shocked.

"Are there any wounds on your body?"

"No."

"Poisoned?"

"It's a suspicion for now, but we can't find the source of the poison, and all these people died from the same poison."

"Mass poisoning?"

"These people are distributed in different areas and the water they drink comes from their own wells. There is no collective poisoning."

“Do these people know each other?”

"do not know."

"Are there any enemies?"

"They are all honest people and have no enemies."

"Nothing in common?"

"No, they are all from different backgrounds and different places of residence. I only know a few people, but they are all honest and good people in the eyes of the neighbors."

That makes things a little more difficult. They have different identities, different ages, don't know each other, and are all good people. It seems that they killed indiscriminately, but how did the other party poison them? What kind of poison did they use?

Ye Jianqing rubbed his chin and began to think.

You have to know that the population base of the capital is large, and birth, aging, illness and death are common. Many people died of illness and old age within a month, and some people came to seek revenge and cause trouble. The charity graves in the suburbs were full, but there were still a steady stream of people sending corpses there. However, there have never been so many deaths without illness, old age, or enemies, and without reason. At most, there were only one or two, and those one or two people were killed accidentally.

Therefore, the number of five deaths within two months is a bit weird.
