The county horse is a medicine jar

Lin Sishen and Shen Qingwan were not in the mansion yesterday, when the old lady heard about this, she went to the Liuguang Pavilion and brought the young prince to the Buddhist hall to take care of him. At this time, the young prince was still in the old lady's Buddhist hall.

After knowing the purpose of the fourth prince's visit, General Lin asked Lin Sishen to lead the way and take the fourth prince to the Buddhist hall to pick up the young prince.Lin Sishen had no choice but to lead the way and lead Shen Xinxun to the back hall.

From the front hall to the Buddhist hall where the old lady lives in the back hall, one needs to pass through a long nine-curved corridor. Lin Sishen leads the way, and Shen Xinxun follows closely behind.On the winding corridor, there were only the two of them.

I don't know if Shen Xinxun is interested, planning to enjoy the rockery, flowing water, green bamboos, flowers and plants on both sides of the corridor, he looks around leisurely, his pace getting slower and slower.

Lin Sishen had no choice but to slow down his pace, catering to his pace.

When Yue Mo walked to a patio, Shen Xinxun suddenly stopped. He poked his head with great interest, looking at the pool of water inlaid with marble beside the corridor.

The water in the pool is clear and emerald green, with a few water lilies floating on the water surface, and a few red and white koi can be seen hiding under the water lilies, wagging their tails and playing.

Seeing him stop, Lin Sishen could only stand by his side and follow his gaze towards the pool water.

Shen Xinxun's eyes followed the koi in the water, he waved his folding fan persistently, and then asked with a smile on his lips: "Shen'er, I heard that you were robbed by mountain bandits on the day of the Yixianlou Poetry Conference, and you were also killed by bandits." They hurt their eyes, is there such a thing?"

Lin Sishen lowered his eyes, and replied respectfully: "It is true, but the eye injury of the subordinate is not serious. Father has sent people to search for the bandits these few days. But the bandits probably knew that they had committed a serious crime, so they were arrested. By the time the wind blows, it has already escaped."

Shen Xinxun nodded, turned his head to look at Lin Sishen, and said with a little regret: "It's a pity that on the second day of the poetry meeting, this king was sent by my father to Longyou Road to inspect the disaster situation, and I never came to comfort Shen'er, nor did I feel sorry for him. General Lin will help you find traces of those daring gangsters."

While talking, Shen Xinxun suddenly took a step forward, only half a step away from Lin Sishen, he raised his hand and patted Lin Sishen's shoulder lightly, with a gentle and concerned tone: "Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise, this king will be fine. It’s a shame to lose a talent like you.”

The moment she was touched by Shen Xinxun, Lin Sishen frowned slightly, and there was a trace of disgust in his eyes, but the light flashed past, Shen Xinxun didn't see it.She took a small step back, distanced herself from Shen Xinxun, then bowed her head and said, "Your Highness is serious."

Shen Xinxun saw Lin Sishen's deliberate resistance in his eyes, he curled his lips into a smile as if nothing had happened, withdrew his hand and turned sideways to face the pool of water, suddenly took a deep breath, and said with emotion: "There is a sudden drought in Longyou, my lord This time, I went to Longyou for an inspection by order. As I traveled all the way, I saw that the land in Longyou was cracked and no grass grew. Even the grass roots and bark were eaten up by the people. I can't bear it."

Lin Sishen raised his brows slightly when he heard the words, and said in surprise, "Didn't Your Majesty already exempt Longyou from taxes for three years? How many times have you allocated disaster relief money from the treasury to buy grain and transport it to Longyou?"

Shen Xinxun frowned, slapped the railing hard, and said angrily: "It is true that the silver and food and grass have been transferred to Longyou, but what I saw during this trip is still full of starvation, I am afraid that the officials in Longyou are deceiving you. He embezzled the relief food funds, and took the people's life-saving food into his own pocket in exchange for money."

Lin Sishen glanced at Shen Xinxun out of the corner of her eye, but saw that his face was angry, as if he was upright looking for the common people, she closed her eyes and asked softly, "I don't know if your Highness has been searched during this trip. Evidence of Longyou officials embezzling relief food?"

Shen Xinxun raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows helplessly, and said with a long sigh: "Longyou has always been under the jurisdiction of the second brother, and the officials above and below are all from the faction of the second brother. This time, when I go to Longyou, I will be subject to everywhere. Well, those corrupt officials did everything possible to whitewash the peace, and the account books they presented were clean and clear. If it wasn't for the private visit of the king in disguise, avoiding the eyes and ears of those officials and going to the disaster site to see for himself, I'm afraid I would have believed their nonsense , thinking that the disaster situation in Longyou was well managed.”

Lin Sishen seemed to understand Shen Xinxun's purpose in telling her about this matter, and she continued to respond calmly: "So, the officials in Longyou are whitewashing the peace, while the people are still displaced and starving?"

Shen Xinxun nodded wearily, with a sad look on his face: "Shen'er, you didn't see it with your own eyes. Even if this king saw it with his own eyes, it would be unimaginable. The people in Longyou have been forced to die. It’s getting to the point where you eat your own child.”

Lin Sishen sighed, and said earnestly: "If this is the case, then His Highness should truthfully report this matter to His Majesty, so that His Majesty can clean up the officialdom in Longyou, punish corrupt officials, and save the people from suffering."

The expression on Shen Xinxun's face softened slightly, he turned to look at Lin Sishen, and said helplessly: "Shen'er, you also know that Longyou is under the jurisdiction of the Second Emperor Brother, if this king wants to report the impeachment of Longyou officials, then It's like reading the second brother's book. What's more, this king was restricted everywhere during this trip, and he didn't find any conclusive evidence to report to the father."

Having reached this point, Lin Sishen also guessed Shen Xinxun's intentions, so she didn't pretend to be confused, and asked directly: "What does Your Highness want the subordinate to do?"

Shen Xinxun changed his compassionate look just now, he looked at Lin Sishen with a smile, and said leisurely: "Although this king has no evidence, I will tell my father about this in private. After my father knows about this, I plan to choose someone from the court to appoint an imperial envoy." , made a special trip to Longyou to investigate the case. Yesterday, my father just asked me if there is someone I can recommend, and this king said a few words of kindness for Shen'er in front of my father."

Sure enough, if there is nothing to do, Shen Xinxun wants to push Lin Sishen out to investigate Longyou's case. Everyone in the court knows that Longyou is the territory of the second prince, and Longyou's officials are from top to bottom. All of them were regarded as the second prince's subjects, so no one dared to take the post of imperial envoy at the risk of offending the second prince.

This hot potato that everyone avoids, Shen Xinxun just pushed it into Lin Sishen's hands.

Although Shen Xinxun said that he was just speaking kindly to the emperor, what he meant was almost certain that the emperor would send Lin Sishen to appoint an imperial envoy to Longyou to investigate the case.

Lin Sishen had a calm expression on his face, but in his heart he was secretly scolding Shen Xinxun for being treacherous. He was clearly forcing Lin Sishen to stand in line. If she did not investigate the case in Longyou according to the facts, she would stand with the Second Prince.If she investigates the case according to the facts and punishes the officials of Longyou, then she will completely offend the Second Prince.Even if she didn't want to, she would be forced to stand in line with the fourth prince.

Although many people thought that Lin Sishen had already belonged to the party of the Four Princes, Lin Sishen's attitude towards Shen Xinxun's wooing had always been ambiguous.By doing this, Shen Xinxun wanted to force Lin Sishen to show her attitude, and didn't want her to get away with vague words.

Shen Xinxun looked at Lin Sishen with a half-smile, and squinted slightly to observe Lin Sishen's expression, but Lin Sishen looked calm, and it was hard to tell what was going on in her heart.

After a long while of silence, Lin Sishen suddenly curled her lips into a knowing smile, she slowly leaned over and cupped her hands and said, "If you can save the people of Longyou from fire and water, I will definitely die."

Shen Xinxun laughed loudly when he heard the words, he folded his fan, raised his hand to support Lin Sishen eagerly, and said with a deep smile: "Very well, Shen'er really deserves to be the person my king likes."

After complimenting each other and declining, Lin Sishen led Shen Xinxun into the old lady's Buddhist hall, before they got close, they heard a burst of laughter like silver bells.

Over the courtyard in front of the Buddhist hall, a kite is floating leisurely,

The grandmother's smiling and doting voice came out from the courtyard: "Ling'er, don't run so fast, be careful of falling, the old grandmother will feel distressed if you fall."

Hearing her grandmother's voice in the courtyard, Lin Sishen seemed to have returned to her childhood. At that time, her grandmother also treated her with such a doting tone, holding her in the palm of her hand for fear of falling, and holding her in her mouth for fear of melting.

Lin Sishen couldn't help but curled his lips into a smile, subconsciously glanced at Shen Xinxun from the corner of his eyes.

But to her surprise, Shen Xinxun, who had always had a gentle smile on his face, for some reason, his eyes suddenly became gloomy, his expression became distorted and fierce, and his five fingers clinging to the folding fan were tightly closed , The strength is so great that it seems to break the folding fan in your hand.

It's just that Shen Xinxun's strange expression only appeared for a moment, and the next second he quickly returned to his usual gentle expression, as if it was just Lin Sishen's hallucination.

Shen Xinxun shook the folding fan, looked back at Lin Sishen as if feeling something, then shook her head helplessly and said with a smile: "It seems that Ling'er is having a good time with the old lady."

Lin Sishen smiled without saying a word, and followed Shen Xinxun into the courtyard.

Accompanied by a maid, Ling'er was running around the yard happily pulling the string of the kite, her flushed face was full of joy from the bottom of her heart.

And the grandmother was sitting in front of the gate, sticking her cane and poking her head out, looking at Ling'er's figure lovingly, telling the servants to follow Ling'er carefully, not to let him fall down.

When Shen Xinxun and Lin Sishen first entered the courtyard, no one noticed.

Shen Xinxun's eyes also fell on the lively and happy Linger, with a warm smile on his face, he suddenly called out: "Linger."

Ling'er, who was running, stopped immediately when he heard Shen Xinxun's voice, and hurriedly turned his head to look in front of the door. After seeing Shen Xinxun's figure, he quickly dropped the reel in his hand, with a smile on his face. It also disappeared instantly.

The line wheel on the ground rolled a few times, and the kite in the sky was blown by the wind and broke the line and flew away.

Ling'er's expression seemed a little abnormal, Lin Sishen frowned and looked carefully, and sure enough, he saw Ling'er's small and thin body seemed to be shaking, looking at Shen Xinxun's eyes, there was also a trace of uneasiness and deep fear.

Shen Xinxun smiled and waved at him: "Come here soon."

Ling'er didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest, and didn't care about the broken kite in the sky, she quickly ran to Shen Xinxun, saluted obediently and respectfully, and whispered: "Father."

Shen Xinxun had a gentle smile on his face. He knelt down and looked at Linger's flushed face. After a chuckle, he raised his sleeves and gently wiped the sweat off his forehead, with a slightly complaining tone: "Look at you Looks like he's sweating profusely."

This seems to be a scene of a father's kindness and son's filial piety.

But Lin Sishen, who was standing beside Shen Xinxun, could clearly see the real thing. Standing in front of his father, this delicate and intelligent child was standing in front of his father, his thin body was trembling uncontrollably, his dilated pupils were full of Anxiety and fear that cannot be hidden.

He seemed to have seen, or rather, experienced something that terrified him.
