Cypress Boat Floating

Chapter 163: The God's House Appears

After the warm breakfast time was over, the little girl, who hadn't seen her uncle for a long time, kept pestering him to play, and asked her father to play with her as well, under the pretext of letting the two adults relax and not be so tense all the time.

Although the two adults really wanted to play with the little girl, they had something important to talk about, so they had to temporarily cancel the appointment and made an appointment with the little girl to play together next time when they were free.

Although little Yuanyuan was a little unhappy, she knew from her mother's teaching that the adults were talking about serious matters and she should not disrupt them, so she had to follow her mother to play in the yard.

Children are children after all. Once they arrived at the yard, they started playing and forgot about the adults' broken appointment. The little girl had a lot of fun in the yard, and her laughter spread into the study, causing the two adults to want to go out and play with her. But they couldn't go out, so they could only watch the little girl play lovingly from inside the house.

"How have you rested in the past two months?" Needless to say, you can tell just by looking at him that although he has lost a little weight, he is still energetic and looks the same as usual.

"good."

Lu Zhixing knew that his father had asked Lu Ci Qiu to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion for the past two months as a warning to him. On the one hand, he was originally a student of the Imperial Master. If he really wanted to ask the Imperial Master to help him seize the throne, he, as the emperor, could stop this from happening. So he was telling him not to have such an idea.

On the other hand, it can also be said that he is maintaining the eldest brother's position as the crown prince. Ever since Lu Ci Qiu started serving as an official, he has helped him a lot in many areas, so other officials who are watching are more or less inclined to his side, which has led to a slight decrease in the support for the crown prince.

As the emperor, he would never allow someone who might take over his position in the future to have no support in the court, so he had to attack himself to gain some support for the prince. But he couldn't just do it to himself casually, after all, he really had done nothing wrong.

And the Imperial Master went to the Prince Xian's Mansion that day, so taking Lu Ci Qiu as a first mover was undoubtedly the best way to use him as a warning to himself.

Lu Zhixing just found it funny. His father's thoughts were truly commendable. He had always been a bystander when it came to the fight for the throne. If it weren't for the appearance of the Imperial Master this time, he felt that things were a little out of control and decided to take action, at least to set an example.

Lu Zhixing stretched out his hand and rubbed his aching forehead. He felt a headache when he thought of these things. Although he learned the way of being an official, he also knew that the people were the most important thing after all the years of fighting outside. But since he came back and saw what the prince did, he knew that the prince was not suitable to be a king. He never took the people seriously.

So everything he did after he came back was for the good of the people, but the prince thought that he was refuting him, opposing him, and trying to compete with him for that position. But his original intention was never to get that position. He just wanted to do more things for the good of the people.

People...

"Second brother, are you okay?" Lu Ci Qiu, who was sitting opposite Lu Zhixing, saw him suddenly frowning and rubbing his forehead, so he thought he was starting to have a headache and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Lu Zhixing had some sequelae from his previous battles on the battlefield, and he always had headaches from time to time. Lu Ci Qiu had seen his second brother suffer from headaches, and he was always in great pain. But in recent years, the imperial physician had been giving him acupuncture and treatment, and he had gotten much better.

"It's okay." Lu Zhixing didn't want his brother to worry, so he shook his head.

"I heard that Ye Jianqing is going to die?" When Lu Zhixing put down his hand and opened his eyes, Lu Ci Qiu happened to fall into his sight. When he saw his brother like this, he suddenly remembered Ye Jianqing, whom his brother was most worried about during this period, and also thought of the news that had been circulating in the market recently.

But think about it, when Ye Jianqing was rescued by the National Master and fell into a state of suspended animation, Lu Ci Qiu was so worried that he couldn't sleep every night. Lu Zhixing had secretly gone to see him, and at that time, Lu Ci Qiu had lost a lot of weight in a few days, looking almost the same as he does now. He must have rested now.

If Ye Jianqing was really going to die, Lu Ci Qiu shouldn't be like this now.

"No, she's fine. She's doing well lately." When Lu Ci Qiu mentioned Ye Jianqing, he couldn't help but think of her. When he thought of her various appearances, a smile appeared on his face.

This smile made Lu Zhixing feel jealous. The person in front of him clearly looked like he was in love.

"Eighth brother, tell me that you really love Ye Jianqing?" Having seen Lu Ci Qiu's crazy look, Lu Zhixing no longer knew how to stop his brother if he really said he loved him.

If he really wanted to break them up, would his younger brother hate him?

"Second brother, how is the shrine doing recently?" Lu Ci Qiu's smile froze on his face and he abruptly changed the subject.

Lu Zhixing glanced at him. He really wanted to tell him, "Your way of changing the subject is really hard," but he was afraid that if his brother really answered him directly, how would he convince his brother.

Ye Jianqing is a person without any identity. As a prince, it is inappropriate for Lu Ci Qiu to marry such a person.

He didn't know how to convince Lu Ci Qiu, so he could only go along with what he said.

"You haven't been out for the past two months, so you probably don't know much about these things. Now there's a rumor of a fairy tale circulating among the people of the capital." Speaking of this, Lu Zhixing's brows, which had been smoothed down with great difficulty, began to frown again. He felt that if he continued like this, there would probably be a "川" character left between his brows.

"Immortal traces? What is this?" Lu Ci Qiu was puzzled.

"The fairy traces of the God's House."

"Speaking of this, second brother, we now have a way to find the shrine." Lu Ci Qiu was very excited and was about to tell Lu Zhixing the news that he and Ye Jianqing had worked so hard to get. He thought his brother would be very happy to hear the news and would praise him, but he didn't expect that the other party would have a speechless look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ci Qiu asked carefully, he thought he had said something wrong.

Lu Zhixing opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He just asked, "What can you do?"

In the end, he was reluctant to destroy his brother's self-confidence.

"The news that Qing'er was going to die that you just mentioned was actually released by us ourselves. We wanted to use this news to pretend to be a ghost and scare the owner Liu of Washe..." Lu Ci Qiu told Lu Zhixing every bit of Ye Jianqing's plan, including what they experienced that night, how they reached an agreement with Liu Miao, and what agreement they reached.

Lu Zhixing frowned more and more as he listened. He thought differently from Lu Ci Qiu. He thought that Lu Ci Qiu was still in confinement, and he went out so rashly and was seen by Liu Miao. If someone really wanted to impeach him, then Lu Ci Qiu would definitely be in trouble.

At that time, it would not be as simple as being locked up in the mansion for two months to reflect on his mistakes. If he sneaked out, it would be considered disobeying the imperial edict, and the crime of disobeying the imperial edict would be no light one.

"Next time if you have something to say, tell me. Don't sneak out. Be careful that someone might impeach you." Lu Zhixing thought it would be better to warn Lu Ci Qiu so that he wouldn't be impeached without knowing it.

"I know." Lu Ci Qiu did not show any impatience towards his brother's teachings. Instead, he nodded seriously, indicating that he had taken note of what he said. He also knew that what his brother said was for his own good.

"Your cooperation with Liu Miao can be canceled." Lu Zhixing's light words fell into Lu Ci Qiu's ears and became full of confusion.

"Aren't we going to look for the shrine anymore?" Lu Ci Qiu felt a little hurt. Was everything he had done in vain?

Lu Zhixing sighed, shook his head and said, "There's no need to look for the shrine. It appeared on its own."

"!!!o(?Д?)っ!" Lu Ciqiu was shocked. The shrine that everyone had been looking for two months ago actually appeared on its own after he was locked up at home for two months! What kind of magical operation was this?

And why didn't he know?

Even if he was imprisoned in the mansion, he should not be unaware of such things.

"What on earth is going on?" Lu Ci Qiu lowered his chin in shock with difficulty.

"Now everyone in the community knows where the shrine is, and everyone can seek help from the shrine. The shrine has attracted many people to believe in them under the banner of being able to communicate with gods." Lu Zhixing rubbed his temples again. There were indeed a lot of things that happened in the two months when Lu Ci Qiu was away, and it would not be easy to finish talking about them all at once.

It is normal for Lu Ci Qiu not to know. During the more than one month since he was put in solitary confinement, he had been taking care of Ye Jianqing and did not see anyone else. Du Rou and Jiang Wanyin came to the mansion just to accompany Ye Jianqing and would not take the initiative to talk to him about these things.

After Ye Jianqing woke up, he was busy taking care of Ye Jianqing and helping her regain control of her body, so he paid even less attention to these things.

He was put in solitary confinement, so naturally everyone in the mansion was also put in solitary confinement. No one could go out, so naturally no one could get the latest news to him.

Therefore, it is understandable that he was unaware of the news.

Nowadays, this shrine is only circulated among the people, but everyone knows where the shrine is. So when they went to Liu Miao for cooperation, Liu Miao naturally knew where the shrine was, and the conditions he negotiated with them were basically beneficial to him.

Nowadays, finding the shrine is not as difficult as it was two months ago. You can just ask anyone on the street and they will know where the shrine is.

Lu Zhixing explained the reason to Lu Ci Qiu, letting Lu Ci Qiu know why he didn't know all this, but Lu Ci Qiu kept his head down, looking a little upset.
