Cypress Boat Floating

Lu Ci Qiu rubbed his temples, frowned, and had a severe headache. He found that since his rebirth, his head seemed to hurt often, which had rarely happened before. However, he simply attributed this to the fact that he had more and more things to do, so he didn't take it seriously.

In fact, the pressure on Lu Ci Qiu has indeed increased. Originally, he just wanted to be a free and carefree prince like his sixth brother. But now, he not only has to deal with the trivial matters of a group of powerful people in the capital, but also has to rack his brains to prevent his second brother from being framed, and at the same time, he has to thoroughly investigate who is trying to murder his mother. This series of problems is like a heavy shackle, tightly binding Lu Ci Qiu's shoulders, making him breathless.

"Sigh..." Lu Ci Qiu couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his heart full of helplessness and fatigue.

"Don't sigh, don't sigh, sighing can easily lead to financial loss." Ye Jianqing, who was standing by, heard him sigh and immediately comforted him. She knew how Lu Ciqiu felt at the moment because she understood that he was worried about these troubles.

"How is the matter in Beijing being resolved?" Ye Jianqing asked with concern while peeling peanuts. She chose to stay out of the things Lu Ci Qiu had been dealing with recently and didn't ask about them at all. In fact, Lu Ci Qiu didn't want her to get involved, fearing that those people would affect her when they retaliated.

Lu Ci Qiu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a bitter smile: "It's not bad. The ones who made the most trouble before have been scared and dare not be arrogant anymore. They have been much more honest recently. However, I still have a lot of evidence of those marquises oppressing the people. Let them relax for the time being. I will present this evidence to my father in a few days."

"Aren't you afraid that they will suddenly send someone to destroy the evidence?" Ye Jianqing raised the corners of his mouth. Although he said worrying words, his face looked relaxed, and even a little expectant.

Lu Ci Qiu chuckled, a sly look flashed in his eyes, "They don't dare. The people I sent to investigate are all my father's men. They are trying to hide what they did from me instead of sending people to kill me. The evidence is in the hands of my father's secret guards and they can't touch it. As for me, if something happens, my father will definitely be the first to take action, not to mention my second brother. This is a slap in my father's face, so they definitely don't dare."

"Will this matter be concluded soon?" Ye Jianqing nodded slightly. She was actually pleased with his actions this time. This was the first time that Lu Ci Qiu acted alone without her, and he was able to do it so perfectly. He really had planned everything out.

Ye Jianqing handed the handful of peeled peanuts to Lu Ciqiu. Lu Ciqiu took it and put one into his mouth. It seemed that eating like this was not enough. He added two or three more before he even chewed them. While eating the peanuts, he said, "It's almost done. After collecting a little more evidence, we can hand it in. By then, the court will definitely experience a major reshuffle, but there's nothing we can do about it."

Ye Jianqing snorted, as if he was watching a good show, his eyes full of anticipation: "Then won't there be a fight? Your second brother and the crown prince both want to place as many forces as possible in the court. Isn't this the best time?"

"So I guess my second brother and the prince have already started looking for new candidates." Lu Ci Qiu nodded and threw a handful of peanuts into his mouth.
