Cypress Boat Floating

Chapter 287 Reason 4

Silence spread in the carriage like a plague.

After Ye Jianqing said that, she realized that she had made some mistakes. She felt embarrassed and didn't know how to save the situation. She sighed secretly that she was indeed lacking in interpersonal relationships, otherwise how could she always fall into such embarrassing situations and not know how to deal with them.

However, to her surprise, Lu Ci Qiu actually took over the topic and put the blame on himself: "Yes, it is indeed my problem. I have been very busy recently. I don't have time to meet with you."

Ye Jianqing licked the corners of his dry lips helplessly, wanting to tell him that he didn't need to blame himself so much, but in the end he chose to remain silent.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly depressing, Lu Ci Qiu suddenly broke the silence and asked softly, "Have you eaten?"

Ye Jianqing nodded slightly, indicating that he had finished his meal. Lu Ciqiu hesitated, as if he had a thousand words to say, but when he met her evasive gaze, he couldn't help but retreat. He had a thousand thoughts in his mind, but it was difficult to speak.

Ye Jianqing finally couldn't help it and asked, "Why are you here?" Lu Ci Qiu's unpredictable attitude made her feel as uncomfortable as if she was scratched by a cat.

She wanted to lay it out to Lu Ci Qiu. If the two of them really couldn't agree on their ideas, it was uncertain how and where they would go in the future. After all, there were still many things to deal with between the two of them, and Lu Ci Qiu couldn't do everything.

"Qing'er, I'm so tired." Lu Ci Qiu lowered his eyes and suddenly said this. The tired voice entered Ye Jianqing's ears with a sense of grievance.

Ye Jianqing looked up at him. The red bloodshot in his eyes and the dark circles under his eyes were real. Ye Jianqing knew that he was still soft-hearted: "Didn't you have a good rest during this period?"

Lu Ci Qiu shook his head gently: "No time. I want to take this opportunity to dig out all the shady things in the capital."

Ye Jianqing did not agree with Lu Ciqiu's rash actions, and frowned slightly: "It's been so many years, and the old illness can't be cured in a short time. Besides, you have no official position now, but just a title of assisting the King of Qin. They will have a lot of opinions about you if you do this."

Ye Jianqing knew very well how complicated the officialdom was. No matter how powerful Lu Ci Qiu was, it was impossible for him to change the entire court situation by his own strength, not to mention that he did not have any real power in his hands now.

Lu Ci Qiu listened to Ye Jianqing's words, but did not refute. Instead, he was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I know, but some things must be done by someone."

That’s it again!

It was because of these words that he let Lin Ruoyun receive the beating; it was also because of these words that he would rather sacrifice himself and expose everything to the sun and let himself be burned by the scorching sun.

Ye Jianqing couldn't tell the reason for a moment. His anger was ignited all of a sudden, and his tone became a little unfriendly: "Even if you don't do these things, others will do them. There are obviously better solutions. Why are you so stubborn and think that only you can do it? Do you think that you can be reborn and are the darling of heaven, sent by heaven to save the world? History cannot be changed. Wake up and see clearly."

Facing Ye Jianqing's rebuke, Lu Ci Qiu did not refute or react at all. He just sat there quietly, staring at Ye Jianqing calmly, with a look in his eyes that she could not understand. That look seemed to be telling endless profound meanings, which made Ye Jianqing feel extremely painful. She seemed to understand Lu Ci Qiu, but in fact, she knew nothing about Lu Ci Qiu.

She always thought that Lu Ci Qiu was a child with very naive and stupid ideas in his heart, but now it seems that she is the stupidest person.
