Cypress Boat Floating

Falling to the ground like a desperate elf, Jiang Wanyin lay there for a long time, unable to get up. The curtain was slowly drawn to the sound of the piano until it completely submerged Jiang Wanyin.

After the dance, Lu Zhixing suddenly said, "She is a very smart and beautiful woman."

Ye Jianqing agreed that Jiang Wanyin was indeed a smart woman.

"Tell me, what are you waiting for me here for?" Lu Zhixing moved his gaze from the stage to Ye Jianqing beside him. Ye Jianqing was still thin at this time, and wearing such men's clothes, she did look a bit like a young man who had not grown up yet, but her eyes revealed her identity.

"What is the purpose of your visit here, Your Highness?" Ye Jianqing was not afraid at all and looked straight at him. If the other party really wanted to kill her, he could use this as an excuse to kill her, but he didn't.

"You are smarter than Jiang Wanyin, but also dumber than her." Lu Zhixing snorted, and it seemed that he had no intention of explaining to Ye Jianqing why he was here. Of course, Ye Jianqing didn't think he had the ability to get an explanation from the King of Qin.

"I just don't want to make the Eighth Prince and Princess Qin sad." Ye Jianqing retracted his gaze and lowered his voice. If you don't listen carefully, you might not hear it, but the person opposite has excellent hearing, so how could he not hear clearly.

Hearing this, his hand that was pouring tea paused for a moment, and a slight smile appeared on his face, very shallow and quick, as if he was pleased: "You are thoughtful."

After pouring a cup of tea into the empty cup in front of Ye Jianqing, he spoke slowly, but the content of his words exploded in Ye Jianqing's ears like thunder, leaving her stunned and not knowing how to react.

Lu Zhixing said: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can go to Beiguan with my eighth brother."

"Why, why?" His throat seemed to be blocked and his voice was a little dry when he spoke.

"Eighth brother should also go and gain some experience. Court affairs are not for him. In two days, the king will ask father for permission to let him take this quarter's military supplies to the North Pass."

"Does the Eighth Prince know?" Even though his palm was about to be scratched by himself under the table, Ye Jianqing was still trying to maintain his composure.

The North Gate is the most difficult pass to break through, and the enemies to be faced there are the most cunning and ferocious desert people. What was Lu Zhixing thinking when he suddenly threw Lu Ci Qiu there?

But considering Lu Zhixing's love for Lu Ci Qiu, Ye Jianqing felt that he would not do that.

Then, there was only one reason left. Something happened in the capital that she and Lu Ci Qiu didn't know about, and Lu Zhixing might not be able to solve it, so he wanted to send Lu Ci Qiu away first. Lu Zhixing had been to Beiguan, so no matter what, he should have at least a few confidants there.

Perhaps those were the only people he could trust, so he wanted to send Lu Ci Qiu to the most difficult and hardest place, Beiguan.

Ye Jianqing stared at him, trying to see something from his face, but this man had practiced this skill very well, and no matter how Ye Jianqing looked at him, his expression remained unchanged.

Ye Jianqing calculated: "One month later."

Lu Zhixing nodded: "A month later, I wanted to go there after the Zhongyuan Festival, but time was too tight, so I changed it to after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Okay." So, you have to accept it even if you don't want to.

"You and I know about this." After Lu Zhixing said this, Ye Jianqing realized that from the beginning when she talked about this matter, her voice had been as light and thin as Lu Zhixing's. In addition, the door of the private room was closed, which ensured that no one else could eavesdrop on the conversation between the two people.

"Is the prince's visit here related to this matter?" Ye Jianqing wanted to leave, but suddenly he wanted to ask Lu Zhixing.

Lu Zhixing did not answer her, but just slowly drank the tea in the cup. But from this reaction, Ye Jianqing already knew the answer.

Ye Jianqing couldn't help but glance downstairs. It was very lively. Some people were analyzing Jiang Wanyin's dance, while others were bragging to each other and chatting about their recent business affairs with their friends. Everyone was smiling, and no one knew what they were talking about in this small private room.

"In that case, I will take my leave first."

Ye Jianqing left Chunmanlou.

She walked slowly along the street towards the palace. Before leaving the palace, Lu Ci Qiu gave her the curfew token. At this time, no guard stopped her on the road.

Not long after Ye Jianqing left, Jiang Wanyin changed his clothes and came into the private room.

"Your Highness." Jiang Wanyin bowed slightly and lowered his eyes.

"She has told you my identity." Lu Zhixing was not at all surprised why the person who originally called him "Young Master" suddenly changed her name. It was obvious that it was Ye Jianqing who told her.

"Yes. I didn't know your identity before, and I offended you a lot. Please forgive me."

Lu Zhixing stood up and helped her up: "Miss Jiang, what are you talking about? I deliberately concealed it before, so it's not Miss Jiang's fault."

He led her to the seat where Ye Jianqing had just sat. After they were seated, Lu Zhixing took out a box from his sleeve. Inside the box was a silver hairpin with a lifelike peony engraved on it. It was not only not tacky, but also looked particularly beautiful. "This hairpin is for you."

Jiang Wanyin confiscated it and placed it on the table, her eyes showing pain and suffering: "Your Highness has spent a lot of money, how dare Wanyin accept such an expensive gift from your Highness."

"Miss Jiang, are you blaming me?" If Lu Zhixing wanted to do something romantic, it was not impossible for him to do it. When he was young, he was a famous young man in the capital, with an elegant demeanor. But he restrained himself after growing up and focused on doing practical things. Moreover, since he married Wei Wangshu, he only did these things to Wei Wangshu and would never let other people see them.

"Wan Yin doesn't dare." Jiang Wan Yin shook her head slightly.

Lu Zhixing had no intention of staying here for long tonight. Now that he had given the gift, he thought about going back: "Dancing tonight must be very exhausting. Miss Jiang, please go to bed early. I will go back first."

Jiang Wanyin was stunned. When he stood up to leave, she gently pulled his sleeve and said, "Your Highness is unhappy."

Lu Zhixing chuckled: "It's nothing, I just think that the girl may need some time to digest this matter. I will come to see the girl another day."

As he said that, he pushed Jiang Wanyin's hand away and walked out.

At the door, his own carriage was already waiting there, and Lu Zhixing could get in and leave as soon as he came out.

"Master, is it okay to just tell Ye Jianqing about this?" The person who came out with Lu Zhixing today was his personal guard Cheng Ran. Cheng Ran had been with Lu Zhixing since he was a child, and knew everything about Lu Zhixing. Lu Xing's plans were not hidden from him, and it could even be said that many things were done by him.

"Ye Jianqing and Jiang Wanyin are too close. It's a good thing if she finds out. At least she won't get in the way." Lu Zhixing rubbed his temple. When he heard the people who were monitoring nearby come to report that Ye Jianqing had arrived, he knew that based on Ye Jianqing's personality, he would most likely stay at night to help Jiang Wanyin.

So this is why he deliberately came here tonight, otherwise it would be so nice for him to be at home with his wife and children.

"What if she goes back and tells the Eighth Prince?" Cheng Ran didn't know Ye Jianqing and just habitually thought of the worst.

Lu Zhixing shook his head slightly: "No, if she said that, everyone in the camp would have to be retrained." As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ming's voice came from outside the car.

Lin Ming was in charge of supervising Lu Zhixing's secret guard camp. Normally, he would not leave the secret guard camp without Lu Zhixing's permission, unless he encountered something.

"Your Highness, urgent news." Lin Ming was extremely anxious. This letter was sent back from Beiguan. He knew that the prince was going to Chunmanlou today, and he didn't know when the other party would leave. He rushed here as soon as he got the letter. Fortunately, he met the prince's carriage on the road.

The carriage stopped, and Lu Zhixing lifted the curtain to let Lin Ming in: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Your Highness, this is a letter from Beiguan." Lin Ming knelt down and handed the urgent letter to Lu Zhixing with both hands.

Ever since Lu Zhixing left a communication channel for Ye Honghai in Beiguan, Ye Honghai has not used any of it for all these years. This is the first time he has used it. If it were not for the last resort or if there was no big deal, the other party would not activate this channel.

Therefore, when Lu Zhixing heard that it was a letter from Beiguan, his face changed and he quickly took the letter and opened it to read.
