Cypress Boat Floating

The snow everywhere on the road is gradually melting. Even spring is almost over, so how can summer be far away?

Du Rou stood in the yard, in front of her were the plum blossoms that were still small buds when she left. At that time, she was still wondering when they would bloom. She thought that when the plum blossoms bloomed, she might be able to pick them and make plum porridge for her father. Now, standing here again, the plum blossom season is about to end, and only a few dots are left on the tree.

Although Li Boming has been convicted, the women who have been hurt by him have to continue living. She has a father who loves, cares for and spoils her, so she can naturally continue to live at home. No matter how long it takes, her father will not drive her away.

But what about the other women?

Looking at the plum blossoms in front of her, she remembered the woman who said she would give these women a home. She was just like the plum blossoms in front of her, fearless of danger and broke into the wolf's den alone to rescue them. When facing Li Boming, she was indomitable and dared to confront him.

All of this made her feel inferior to others. She thought she was also a martial artist, but she was not as brave as others, nor did she dare to stand up like others.

"Which young lady is thinking about me?" The voice of longing suddenly appeared in her ears, but Du Rou did not find it abrupt. She just curled the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled. She turned around and saw the person who was in her mind just now appeared behind her.

"I'm thinking about the young lady from the Ye family." Du Rou smiled and stretched out her hand to Ye Jianqing, who was dressed in casual clothes, and held her hand.

Knowing that he was here to keep a date with Du Rou today, Ye Jianqing gave up the drawstring riding clothes he usually wore and changed into a long skirt.

She wore a light blue skirt that reached her ankles and a coat on the outside. Lu Ci Qiu was afraid that she would be cold and insisted that she wear the coat, but as a martial artist, her blood was full of energy, so how could she be afraid of a little cold weather? What's more, spring was almost over now. But she didn't want to listen to Lu Ci Qiu's nagging, so she had to take it with her but put it in the carriage.

For some reason, ever since Li Boming's case was solved, Ye Jianqing could always feel Lu Ci Qiu's different attitude. She always felt that Lu Ci Qiu seemed to care about her more, and whenever she was going somewhere, Lu Ci Qiu would be the first one to jump out and ask, and it seemed that he even became much more wary of food.

Unable to figure it out, Ye Jianqing had to attribute it all to Lu Ci Qiu being afraid that the prince would take revenge on them.

"I wonder why Sister Du invited me here today?" Ye Jianqing smiled and put his hand in hers, letting her lead him forward, and asked with a smile on his face.

"Last time, didn't my sister tell me that she wanted to do something to make a living to support the sisters? After I came back, I thought about it carefully. Although I don't know how I can help, if you need it, I want to help you." Du Rou is honest and treats people sincerely. When with such a person, no matter who it is, they will always let down their guard in front of her.

The same is true for Ye Jianqing.

"Sister Du Rou, thank you for your help, but it's a pity that I don't know what to do now. I certainly have this idea, but I don't have the ability at the moment." Ye Jianqing sighed deeply. She wanted to get it out as soon as possible, no matter what it was used for, but it was a pity...

The women rescued from Li Boming had certainly been wronged outside, but the world made it impossible for them to leave home. Even though they knew they would be gossiped about by others after returning, they still chose to go back. Even though Ye Jianqing had saved them, even though Ye Jianqing had thought of a way out for them, they could not put all their hopes on a stranger.

Ye Jianqing also knew this, so she didn't force them too much and just let them go. Besides, she didn't have enough money on her now. Even if she wanted to do it and wanted them to see that she could protect them, she was powerless. How could she, who only knew martial arts, open a store?

"Has something happened? Those women..." Du Rou was soon taken back to the Du Mansion by her father. She had never participated in the matter of finding a safe place to stay that Ye Jianqing mentioned, so she was completely unaware of the follow-up.

"Those women have all gone home." Ye Jianqing said this without any emotion. She could not have any other feelings towards these people. After all, they were not the modern people she had come into contact with who had read books and gone to school. They had no say in their own destiny.

"Don't panic, Sister Xiaoqing. It was you who saved me and helped me to get rid of the depression in my heart. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would be alive and well now. You are my lifesaver. If you don't mind, I would like to accept you as my sister. If you have any difficulties, just come to me. I will do my best to help you if I can." She had been thinking about this matter for several days and had discussed it with her father. However, she didn't know what Ye Jianqing was thinking. She asked hesitantly. She was also worried that she would scare the other party if she brought up this matter rashly.

The other party's ambitious words made Ye Jianqing laugh out loud. Even if Du Rou didn't say it, she wanted to be friends with Du Rou. When she was in Li's house, her personality made her look at her with new eyes.

"What are you laughing at?" Du Rou didn't understand.

"Actually, even if you don't say it, I still want to be friends with you. As for recognizing a sister, I think friends might be better than sisters." Ye Jianqing was frank. Du Rou was indeed from a good family. According to what she said, if she recognized her as a sister, she would definitely get a good background. But she just wanted to be a pure friend with her.

"Okay, as you wish, from now on you will be my good friend." Seeing that Ye Jianqing had no intention of becoming sworn brothers, Du Rou gave up. She didn't like to do things that forced others.

The two of them were quite calm. Although they couldn't be sisters, they were still good friends. If anything happened in the future, they could help each other and lend a hand.

It was not until now that Ye Jianqing felt as if she had integrated into this world. As expected, having friends to care about was different from the carefree feeling of the past.

Li Boming's matter has been dealt with. Although Li Zhizhong, who was implicated by Li Boming, has been placed under house arrest, he still has a large number of people behind him. If Lu Zhixing really wants to completely overthrow Li Zhizhong, he must deal with these people first.

Recently, His Majesty has been gradually weakening the power of various vassal princes. Lu Zhixing wants to take advantage of His Majesty's express ship to deal with the complex forces behind Li Zhizhong, and at the same time greatly weaken the power of the prince.

Once Li Zhizhong fell, the prince had at least 30% less strength to deal with him. Li Zhizhong had created great benefits for him in the past, but now he had to bear the backlash brought by Li Zhizhong.

"Master, the palace has taken the things away."

Lu Zhixing nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

Lu Zhixing had no intention of letting the Li family off so easily. Before, the Li family relied on the prestige of the prince to do whatever they wanted and did all kinds of dirty things in private. He had long wanted to get rid of the Li family.

Now that the time has come, he cannot refuse such a good opportunity. He also knows about the emperor's actions, so he ordered people to hand over the evidence of what the Li family had done before to the emperor without his knowledge. Only when the emperor finds out these things himself will he believe that all these things were done by the Li family, and he will hate the Li family to the core.

"Pay attention during the next period of time, especially to the Eighth Prince, in case the Li family rebounds and does something to the Eighth Prince." Lu Zhixing instructed the secret guard.

Now that he wanted to cut off the prince's leg, he was afraid that the prince would do something to him in return. He was not afraid, but he was afraid that the prince would bear a grudge against Lu Ci Qiu and attack Lu Ci Qiu. Lu Ci Qiu was still a little eagle and did not have the ability to fight against the prince.

He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to let Lu Ci Qiu enter the court so quickly. If possible, he still wanted to protect him for a little longer, and it would be best if he could always be optimistic and live a good life.

He himself was not confident enough to win this battle for the throne. If Lu Ci Qiu had not yet entered the court, he would have been confident that he could protect him. Now, alas, there was nothing he could do.

The only way for him is to win. If he wins, both Lu Ci Qiu and his mother will be able to survive.
