The county horse is a medicine jar
Chapter 26 026
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Shen Qinghou left the mansion, and the mansion of the Ninth Prince had just been repaired. Originally, the Ninth Prince was going to come to take Shen Qinghou back in person.However, he was suddenly summoned into the palace urgently and couldn't get away.
Seeing that Lin Sishen was recovering from his injuries in the past two days, General Lin asked Lin Sishen to escort Shen Qinghou back to the palace.
It happened that it was raining continuously this day, so Lin Sishen stood listlessly at the gate of the mansion early in the morning, stood upright in the cold wind, stared at the raindrops dripping from the eaves, and was sullenly dazed.
After breaking up unhappy that day, Lin Sishen never saw Shen Qingwan again, and if we say goodbye today, it might be a day of worshiping heaven and earth in wedding clothes.
Lin Sishen waited for a long time in the cold wind and drizzle, and then Shen Qinghou and Lan Qing Luyin came belatedly.
As soon as Shen Qinghou, who was dressed in white and had a cold face, appeared, he attracted everyone's attention. Lin Sishen looked sideways at the people who were getting closer, bowed his head slightly and respectfully said: "Sishen has seen the Princess."
Shen Qinghou glanced at her lightly, Lin Sishen's pale face was much rosier than that day, she drooped her eyes and closed her head slightly, and said in a calm and distant tone: "Mr. Lin has been waiting for a long time."
Lin Sishen didn't care much, she shook her head and said softly: "The Ninth Prince is still in the palace, today Sishen will send the princess back to the palace."
"Thank you." Shen Qinghou nodded, and walked straight to the chariot under the stone steps.
Lan Qing opened an oil-paper umbrella to cover Shen Qinghou's head.The misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River is always accompanied by hazy mist, setting off the woman who is lightly moving lotus steps in front of her eyes, her white and slender fingertips are gently lifting the hem of her skirt, her blue hair is slightly swaying in the breeze and drizzle, and the scene in front of her is beautiful like an ink painting.
Lin Sishen looked up and was about to follow, but was stopped by Lu Yin's hand, she tilted her head respectfully and said: "Young master is not married to the princess yet, so it's inconvenient to share the car."
That day we went to Xichen Temple in the same car, why is it inconvenient today, Lin Sishen felt a little helpless, but he also knew that this was a courtesy, so he raised the corners of his lips and smiled gently: "I'll just ride a horse."
However, the drizzle in spring is not annoying, Lin Sishen watched Shen Qinghou get into the carriage, and then walked up to the carriage and nodded to a general riding a tall horse in front of the carriage.
The family officer understood and jumped off the horse in a hurry and handed the reins to Lin Sishen. Lin Sishen got on the horse, and with a light shake of the hand holding the reins, he felt a soreness in his left shoulder.
Before leaving, the curtain of the car was lifted suddenly, and Lan Qing, who was holding an oiled paper umbrella, came down, walked up to Lin Sishen at a faster pace, and handed the paper umbrella to her: "Here, the princess gave it to you, the princess The lord said that if the young master's injury is still not healed, please go slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Lin Sishen took the paper umbrella, turned around to look at the carriage, and agreed in a low voice.
Shen Qingwan's win over is always so understatement, as if it was just a burst of careful attention, which makes people not feel bored at all.
The bluestone slabs under the feet are wet by the rain, and there is a crisp sound of horseshoes stepping on. The streets are full of vendors hiding under the eaves to avoid the rain, chatting in groups of idlers and whispers.
Lin Sishen's appearance was obviously particularly eye-catching, and many eyes fell on her seemingly absent-mindedly. People who often went to and from the capital knew her. Her outstanding performance in the spring hunting in the past few days has become a street corner in the capital again. talking material.
Lin Sishen didn't look sideways, she was riding a tall horse with a paper fan in one hand, and a strand of hair fell down her forehead from the jade crown she was wearing, making her a little more casual and lazy.
She has good hearing and can hear the people on both sides looking at her and talking in a low voice.
"Young master seems to have calmed down a lot."
"They're almost married, so it's time to be more cautious."
"I heard that the young master showed bravery in the spring hunting, and was seriously injured in order to save the saint. He not only captured the assassin by himself, but also hunted and killed a fierce tiger. He really deserves to be the son of the general."
"We usually miss it."
"Since the princess entered the capital, the young master has honestly never been in trouble, and he can still achieve this achievement."
"That said, it's the Princess's credit. With this virtuous wife, the young master will surely have smooth sailing in the future."
In just two short months, the people in the capital's impression of this playboy in the general's mansion has undergone earth-shaking changes, but everyone seems to have unanimously attributed her change to Shen Qingwan.
The General’s Mansion is in the south of the city, and the Wang’s Mansion is in the east of the city, close to the Forbidden City. If you want to go to the Wang’s Mansion, you must pass through the west of the city.
When passing through the west of the city, out of the corner of Lin Sishen's eye, Lin Sishen caught a glimpse of a closed shop. The shop seemed to have not opened yet, the door was closed, and the plaque hung was brand new, with red wedding satin tied on both sides. Yunji Rouge shop five Big characters come into view.
A dark light flashed in Lin Sishen's eyes, and she vaguely guessed something in her heart, thinking that tonight she would have to go to Li Luona to verify it.
Just when she was slightly dazed, a gaze suddenly cast a look on the attic of the shop, by the wooden window with a gap open.
Lin Sishen looked up, but he didn't see anyone standing by the window, only a corner of red clothes flashed by quickly.
She turned her head and sighed secretly in her heart, pulled the rein and let the horse speed up and move forward.
Not long after, Lin Sishen sent Shen Qinghou to the gate of the palace. The housekeeper who had been waiting for a long time saw the carriage stop, and hurriedly called someone to greet him.
Lin Sishen jumped off the horse, saw Shen Qinghou slowly getting out of the carriage surrounded by a crowd, and then stepped forward and said: "Since the princess has been sent back to the palace, it is time for Sishen to go back too."
Shen Qinghou glanced at her with a tilted head, with a neither cold nor indifferent expression: "Mr. Lin, don't be so impatient. I think you have been to the palace before, why don't you go in and sit down."
The old butler with white beard and hair and blushing face stepped forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "This should be the future Junma Ye, my lord is coming back soon, why don't you stay and wait, after seeing the lord Come back later."
After all arrived at the palace, it would be unreasonable not to meet her future father-in-law, so Lin Sishen agreed.
After Shen Qinghou arrived at the palace, he went back to the boudoir first, leaving the old butler to entertain Lin Sishen in the hall.
There are quite a few landscape paintings hanging on the hall, most of them were made by famous masters, Lin Sishen sized it up, coughed lightly and turned to look at the housekeeper who had been with her all the time, she asked softly, "What's your name, sir? "
"The little general is really annoying the old slave. The old slave has served the prince for decades, and the prince gave him the surname Shen Dan as a loyal one. If you don't mind the little general, just call the old slave a loyal uncle."
Being given the surname by the Ninth Prince, and having stayed in the Palace for decades, Shen Zhong should be the Prince's confidant, with an unusual status in the Palace.Thinking of this, Lin Sishen smiled lightly, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Zhong, you are welcome."
Shen Zhong always had a respectful smile on his face, he looked like an amiable old man who was respectful but not coquettish when facing guests.Seeing Lin Sishen sitting in the hall doing nothing, he suggested: "Little General, the lord has not come back yet, why don't I let this old slave take you around the palace?"
Lin Sishen stood up and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then I will trouble Uncle Zhong."
Shen Zhong led Lin Sishen to walk around the palace, he followed Lin Sishen along the way, and introduced from time to time, he knew every flower and grass in the palace by heart.
With her hands behind her back, Lin Sishen looked around, then suddenly smiled in a low voice and said, "I haven't been back to the capital for many years, Uncle Zhong is still so familiar with the palace?"
Uncle Zhong waved his hands and said humbly: "This is the duty of a slave. The master may not know about the miscellaneous affairs in the house, but the old slave has to take care of every brick and tile for the master."
Soon Shen Zhong led Lin Sishen to the back garden of the Prince's Mansion, this place is much larger than the back garden of the General's Mansion, the flowers, plants and trees are very neatly trimmed, and all kinds of flowers compete with each other in bright purples and reds at a glance.
Lin Sishen just glanced at it, then turned his gaze to a small courtyard standing alone in the corner not far from the back garden.
Shen Zhong has been observing her expression, following her gaze, he suddenly smiled and explained: "Little General, the yard you are looking at is the medicine house of my princess."
Lin Sishen was a little surprised: "The princess also knows medicine?"
Shen Zhong nodded: "Yes, my princess is not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also interested in medicine. The princess likes to search for some lonely medical books on weekdays. If a lady from an ordinary family receives some rouge powder, she will be happy, but If my princess can get a single medical book, she will be a little happier."
Lin Sishen keenly noticed that Shen Zhong seemed to be reminding her of something, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The princess is indeed a strange woman."
Shen Zhong smiled, and continued: "The old slave watched the princess grow up, so she naturally knows the princess's temperament. The princess never likes to trouble others, so she will definitely not make any demands on the little general. This medicine There is a palace in Luqingzhou, and there is also one here."
The reminder was so obvious that Lin Sishen naturally understood what he meant. She narrowed her eyes and smiled in a low voice: "Uncle Zhong's meaning is very clear. After the princess gets started, Sishen will definitely set aside land to build a building for the princess." Medicine house."
Shen Zhong nodded in satisfaction, he stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Little General, it's time for the prince to go back to his residence, so why not go back to the hall first and wait."
After following Shen Zhong back to the hall, the Ninth Prince came back not long after, he frowned as soon as he stepped on the threshold and saw Lin Sishen.
Lin Sishen got up and cupped his hands towards him, saluted respectfully and said: "Sishen has met the Ninth Prince."
Ninth Prince nodded perfunctorily, then looked at Shen Zhong at the side, took the teacup he offered, and asked, "Wu'er is back?"
Shen Zhong bowed his head respectfully and said: "My lord, the princess is resting inside the house."
The Ninth Prince took a sip of the tea, then waved his hand: "Uncle Zhong, go down first, I have a few words to say to Lin Sishen."
After Shen Zhong withdrew, only Lin Sishen and the Ninth Prince were left in the hall, and the atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.
The Ninth Prince flicked the hem of his clothes, and asked casually: "How are you doing on the road?"
Lin Sishen stood beside him, narrowed his eyes and said, "Report to the lord, the journey is smooth."
The Ninth Prince nodded. He stood with his hands behind his back and his eyes fell on Lin Sishen. Seeing that her posture was still respectful, he took a deep breath and said, "You performed well in the Spring Hunting last time. Today, the emperor brother told me that you are very respectful. After you and Yu'er get married, go to the Ministry of War to report on your duties, and the imperial decree should be issued tomorrow."
"Sishen knows."
After saying these two sentences, the Ninth Prince frowned impatiently and drove away: "It's nothing, you can go back."
The Ninth Prince had always disliked Lin Sishen, and Lin Sishen didn't really want to get along with him, so Lin Sishen immediately responded, "My lord, Sishen bids his farewell."
Just as Lin Sishen couldn't wait to step out of the threshold, Shen Qinghou's voice suddenly came from behind: "Mr. Lin, wait a minute."
Lin Sishen closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then turned around and said with a smile: "Dare to ask the princess to stop Sishen, but what's the matter?"
Shen Qinghou changed into a blue robe which was rare, with a few bamboo leaves embroidered with silver thread on the lapel, which looked elegant and graceful.After her eyes lightly passed over Lin Sishen's body, she smiled and looked at the Ninth Prince, and said softly: "Father, it's almost time for lunch, why don't you leave Young Master Lin after lunch."
The Ninth Prince lowered his face and glanced at Lin Sishen, as if he blamed her for walking too slowly.But even Shen Qingwan opened his mouth, the Ninth Prince could only nod his head and said: "Alright, then stay, lest Lin Zheng say that this king has neglected his son."
No, Lin Sishen was really willing to be neglected by him, she had a warm smile on her face, but she secretly thought it was bad luck in her heart.
The feeling of being in the same room with Shen Qinghou and the Ninth Prince was terribly unbearable. The Ninth Prince sat in the first place, staring at Lin Sishen intentionally or unintentionally, as if guarding against a thief.
Even if she moved slightly, the eyes of the Ninth Prince would follow. If she accidentally glanced at Shen Qinghou, the Ninth Prince's eyes would be as if he was going to eat her, and his face could be seen with the naked eye. The speed instantly went dark.
Lin Sishen straightened his back and put his hands on his knees, staring straight ahead without moving, fearing that he would fall into the hands of the Ninth Prince again and get hurt.
During the silent confrontation between the two, Shen Qinghou seemed a lot more relaxed. She turned her head and stared at Lin Sishen. Said: "Father, why don't you go and change the court clothes after you're back home?"
The Ninth Prince looked at her, and his complexion softened a lot in an instant: "It's not too late to change after lunch."
After all, he just didn't want Lin Sishen to be alone with Shen Qinghou under his nose.
Shen Qinghou shook his head lightly, and said again: "Father, you should go and change into casual clothes."
After saying the words twice, the Ninth Prince understood what Shen Qingwan meant, and his precious daughter just wanted to distract him.
Sure enough, the women's college didn't stay.
He cast a gloomy look at Lin Sishen, then stood up helplessly and said, "That's all, I'm going to change the court clothes first."
In a blink of an eye, only Shen Qinghou and Lin Sishen were left in the hall, and the serving maids were guarding outside the door.
As soon as the Ninth Prince left, Lin Sishen breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't afraid of the Ninth Prince, but was just a little awkward facing his thieves-like gaze.
Shen Qinghou's eyes fell on her, and he suddenly raised his lips and smiled: "It's going to make things difficult for you by keeping you here."
Lin Sishen shook her head, she glanced at Shen Qinghou from the corner of her eye, and seeing that her expression didn't seem to be as cold as that day, she smiled and said: "That's nothing, we will always get along in the future."
Shen Qinghou stood up suddenly, and she walked slowly in front of Lin Sishen, looking down at her, a dark light flashed in her cold eyes: "Mr. Lin, did you manage the tea business in Qingzhou recently?"
Lin Sishen's hands hanging on his knees slowly tightened, with a clear smile still on his face: "The princess is really well informed, Sishen really wants to open two tea shops in Qingzhou."
Shen Qinghou closed her eyes and said softly: "The tea business in Qingzhou has never been easy to do. If Mr. Lin really plans to open a tea shop in Qingzhou, I'm afraid he will earn less and lose more."
There was a light fragrance from Shen Qinghou's body beside the nostrils. The beautiful woman in front of her lowered her eyebrows slightly, and her exquisite facial features seemed to be more moist.But what she said made Lin Sishen's back shudder.
Lin Sishen stopped straightening her back, and she looked directly into Shen Qinghou's eyes: "So it turns out that Sishen doesn't know the market in Qingzhou. Since the Princess has said so, then Sishen will call him back tomorrow."
Shen Qinghou smiled faintly: "That's not necessary, if you know that they are Mr. Lin's people, if you want to do your best as a landlord, you should invite them to visit Qingzhou for a few days, and then Qingwang will send someone to send them back. "
Lin Sishen lowered his eyes and said politely: "Sishen will feel more at ease if the princess sends someone to take care of her. If she wants to do business in Qingzhou again, Sishen will definitely ask the princess first."
Hearing what she said, Shen Qinghou turned around, her back was facing Lin Sishen, and her tone was flat: "Qinghou just stayed in Qingzhou for a long time, and knows a thing or two about Qingzhou's commercial market. If Mr. Lin really wants to It is not impossible to do business in Qingzhou."
"What does the princess mean?" Lin Sishen slowly closed his eyes, and loosened his fists on his knees.
Shen Qinghou, who turned his back to her, pondered for a moment, then asked softly, "I heard that Mr. Lin's business in Yongzhou is doing very well."
Lin Sishen's expression froze, she quickly opened her eyes, stood up and said seriously: "If you want to do business in Qingzhou, it's better not to be cautious. I didn't think carefully before, after all, Qingzhou is too far away from the capital."
Shen Qinghou turned around, the distance between the two was only one step apart, and it might seem a bit too close to outsiders.
Looking at the person in front of her with a half-smile, Shen Qinghou closed her eyes and curled her lips, her voice suddenly softened a lot: "Mr. Lin is a genius in business, and his business has spread all over Jin in just two years."
Lin Sishen raised her eyebrows calmly, and she quickly said in a low voice: "The princess wants to cooperate with Sishen?"
Shen Qinghou slightly tilted his head, and a smile flashed across his clear eyes: "I'm afraid Mr. Lin will not agree."
Lin Sishen looked at her without moving, and said with a smile: "If the Princess is willing to part with the principal, Sishen will ask for it."
Shen Qinghou's face suddenly got closer, she leaned closer to Lin Sishen, her thin lips were slightly parted and exhaled like blue: "I think we can discuss this matter slowly in the future."
The faint fragrance of the person in front of her smelled better the closer she got to her. Lin Sishen pursed her lips, her eyes flickered and she turned her head away, a strand of intertwined hair brushed across her face, making her subconsciously raise her hand to pick it up. open.
The soft and greasy hair was entangled with the fingertips. After a short moment of stunned, Shen Qinghou suddenly stretched out his hand, and the white fingertips picked up the strand of hair and put it behind the ear.Because of the closeness, Lin Sishen's eyes followed her and landed on her fair ears.
A layer of fine, almost invisible fluff can be vaguely seen on the small and white pinnae, which looks so cute that one wants to reach out and pinch it.
Fortunately, Lin Sishen didn't make a move, and Shen Qinghou also noticed her gaze. She frowned slightly, a trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and then she took two steps back with a cold snort.
When the Ninth Prince changed into plain clothes and returned to the hall, the two had already separated. Lin Sishen was still sitting obediently with his hands on his knees, while Shen Qinghou stood at the table pouring tea.
Seeing the Ninth Prince coming, Lin Sishen raised his head, blinked his dark and moist eyes, and his face was obedient and calm.
After a while, the maidservants brought the dishes to the table. Lin Sishen randomly found a place to sit down, but the Ninth Prince frowned and saw Lin Sishen and Shen Qinghou face to face, so he pointed to his left side, motioning for Lin Sishen to sit down. .
Lin Sishen had no choice but to sit over, the Ninth Prince was sitting at the main seat, Shen Qinghou was a little further away, but Lin Sishen was closer to the Ninth Prince.
The food on the table was full of fragrant fish and meat, Lin Sishen only ate two pieces of tofu in front of him, and wanted to take two bites before saying goodbye and going back.
But the Ninth Prince saw that she only ate tofu, he frowned dissatisfiedly and said: "Look at you being so thin, you still eat some green vegetables and tofu."
Lin Sishen raised his head and was about to speak, but saw the Ninth Prince put a piece of fatty pork in her bowl, and nodded in satisfaction, "Man, eat more meat to grow stronger, so you look like this." Only the momentum."
"Many... Thank you, my lord." Lin Sishen looked at the piece of fatty pork in front of him, and felt his stomach churn.
During these days, she was recuperating at home, and her grandmother made chicken soup for her every day. Now she feels nauseous whenever she sees meat.
But this piece of meat was given to her by the Ninth Prince. It was a love from her future father-in-law. How dare she refuse it.
Under the sharp eyes of the Ninth Prince and Shen Qinghou's half-smile eyes, Lin Sishen could only smile and pick up the piece of meat and stuff it into his mouth.
After biting down, it felt like his mouth was full of oil, Lin Sishen bit the bullet and swallowed, then stiffly smiled at the Ninth Prince.
"It seems that you still like to eat meat." The Ninth Prince smiled gratifiedly, and picked up another piece of meat and put it in her bowl: "Then eat some more."
Lin Sishen took a deep breath, and finally couldn't help but look up at Shen Qingwan.
Shen Qinghou understood that Lin Sishen was asking for help almost instantly, she closed her eyes and curled her lips into a smile, and finally opened her mouth to help Lin Sishen: "Father, it is only because she is hurt, how can she eat these greasy things, it's better to be light. "
Hearing what Shen Qinghou said, the smile on Ninth Prince's face disappeared immediately, and he sighed in a muffled voice, "Your care about him."
Fortunately, the Ninth Prince did not embarrass Lin Sishen any more. After lunch, Lin Sishen hurriedly bid farewell to the Ninth Prince Shen Qinghou, and then left the palace as if fleeing on horseback.
That night, Lin Sishen took advantage of the darkness to look for Li Luo.
This time Lin Sishen didn't sneak in over the wall like the previous two times, but knocked on the door beforehand.Every time she came back, it was the fourth watch. Ordinary people had already fallen asleep. In the empty streets and alleys, she was the only one dressed in black, perfectly blending into the night.
Before long, the mahogany door was pulled open with a creak, and Li Luo's face loomed inside.
Today, Li Luo seemed a little surprised by Lin Sishen's appearance. After all, in the past, Lin Sishen would only come to look for her after Liu Ce put out Clivia.
Li Luo's eyes flickered slightly, and after hesitating for a while, she opened the door and let Lin Sishen in: "Liu Ce's Clivia is not on display, why are you here today?"
Lin Sishen passed by Li Luo sideways, and keenly smelled a faint smell of blood from her body. She stood behind the door and watched Li Luo hang the latch, and then asked softly: "Is someone here? Is it convenient to see me?"
Li Luo lowered his head with his back to her, and replied in a light tone: "Yes, a junior in the door."
Lin Sishen frowned slightly, and said, "In that case, I'll come back tomorrow."
Li Luo turned around slowly, with a gentle smile on his fair and beautiful face, but there was still a chilling intent hidden in his dark eyes: "It's no inconvenience, let's go in."
Today's Li Luo seems to be a little different from usual, the smell of blood on her body and the chilling look in her eyes remind Lin Sishen of the scene when he first met her.
Pushing open the half-closed door, Lin Sishen met a pair of terrified eyes as soon as he raised his head.
A bloody smell filled the room, Lin Sishen frowned and looked at him.
Inside the room, a handsome and immature man dressed in black who looked about ten years old was kneeling on the ground, and a large area of sticky scarlet blood was dripping on the floor around him.
The man's face was pale and he covered his left arm with his right hand. His hand seemed to be injured, and the wound was still dripping blood.
After seeing Lin Sishen entering, he was taken aback for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Li Luo who was behind Lin Sishen, then his pupils dilated and he lowered his head trembling in horror, he must have been terrified.
Li Luo's saber was placed on a wooden table beside him, on the white blade gleaming with cold light, there were still a few fine drops of blood stained on it.
Lin Sishen understood the scene in front of her with just one glance, she turned her head and gave Li Luo a meaningful look, she didn't say anything, just walked slowly to the window and turned her back to the two of them without speaking.
Li Luo closed the door and walked in slowly, every time she took a step the man couldn't help trembling, until Li Luo came to the front, the man finally couldn't help but knelt down on the ground, begging in a low voice : "I beg my senior sister to bypass me this time."
Li Luo raised his hand and picked up the saber on the table with a cold gaze. The man sensed her movement, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe for a moment. He held his breath and curled up like a tamed lamb, lying on the ground. Even facing the butcher's knife on the cutting board, he didn't dare to resist at all.
There was a crisp sound when the long sword was sheathed, Li Luo raised his eyes to look at Lin Sishen who was standing silently by the window, then looked at the man and said slowly: "Small punishment, no exception."
Hearing that he was amnesty, the man hurriedly kowtowed three times in front of Li Luo: "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister, thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister."
Li Luo threw a black porcelain bottle from his sleeve to him, and then said coldly: "If you miss again next time, I don't need to remind you of the consequences."
Lin Sishen stood in front of the window with her eyes closed, but she didn't seem to hear the conversation between the two behind her. This was Li Luo's rules in the Dark Hall, she had no right to intervene or ask.
After the man left with the porcelain bottle, Li Luo raised his eyes to look at Lin Sishen, a smile slowly appeared on his cold face: "Scared?"
Lin Sishen turned around, just now the man had not taken off the black scarf underneath her, but now he only showed a pair of clear eyes.
She smiled helplessly, looked at the blood on the ground, and asked, "I'm not a kind person."
The people who entered the Dark Hall have long put life and death aside, and have sold their lives. Whether they live or die depends only on themselves.And Li Luo is also a member of Anyintang, if one day she will miss it too.
I'm afraid that the punishment she will receive will only be ten thousand times more severe than that man just now.
Thinking of this, she raised her eyes to look at Li Luo, her dark and deep eyes were full of complex expressions.
Li Luo lowered his eyes and smiled, turned his head and asked softly: "Your injury is healed?"
"Yeah." Lin Sishen nodded, she sighed softly and said, "It's just a skin trauma, it will be fine after a few days of care."
Li Luo looked at her left shoulder, stared blankly for a while, then smiled and said: "You have made great achievements this time, and you have joined the Ministry of War. In the future, you should become a majestic general just like your father."
Lin Sishen shook his head helplessly: "What I'm afraid of is that one day I will really go to the battlefield."
After she finished speaking, she remembered the rouge shop she saw in the west of the city today, and asked softly, "Is Yunliu's business settled?"
Under the dim candlelight, Li Luo's face was soft and clear, she nodded and said: "It's done, she has now opened a rouge shop in the west of the city, called Yunji, I heard that it will open tomorrow, do you want to buy it?" Go to join us?"
Lin Sishen came over and sat beside Li Luo, she pulled off the black scarf on her face, she shook her head thoughtfully and said: "Forget it, I'd better not provoke her."
Li Luo responded casually, then looked at Lin Sishen's face, and suddenly said with a smile: "Why do I feel that you have gained some weight after recuperating for a few days?"
Lin Sishen's expression froze, she stretched out her hand to touch her face unnaturally, and then sighed: "Don't mention it, my grandmother has cooked a lot of chicken soup and stew for me these days, and said to replenish my blood, a bowl A bowl of it was poured into my stomach, and now I feel like throwing up when I smell chicken soup."
Li Luo withdrew his gaze and smiled faintly: "Someone misses you, you should be content."
Lin Sishen was a little stunned by her seemingly casual response, she lowered her head silently, and changed the subject, "What news do you have recently?"
Li Luo frowned slightly, and replied: "After the envoys from the Lao Kingdom were imprisoned, all parties are ready to move. Liu Ce sent people to sneak into Youzhou secretly, and planted a lot of eyeliners outside Duke Qing's mansion."
Lin Sishen took a deep breath and thought in a low voice: "Duke Qing and the envoys of the Lao Kingdom, why did Liu Ce send people to monitor Youzhou and Duke Qing's mansion at the same time? Could there be some connection between them?"
Li Luo saw that she was thinking, so he expressed his thoughts: "Duke Qing belongs to the Crown Prince, if Duke Qing really has contact with the envoys of the Lao Kingdom, then the Crown Prince should be involved in this matter."
"The assassin who assassinated the emperor last time was also a spy from the Lao Kingdom." Lin Sishen's brows became tighter and tighter, and she seemed to see the second prince quietly opening a net: "I'm afraid things are not that simple. Your Majesty has always He hates Laos very much, and now the person who assassinated him is a Lao. If peace cannot be negotiated, there will be another war."
Li Luo nodded: "That's something for later. If Liu Ce makes any moves, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible. But at this time, it's better for us to stay put."
Lin Sishen smiled lightly, and said: "I won't make a move easily. All I need now is a complete information network, a dark network that penetrates the world." : "And I will be the center of this web."
Li Luo propped his forehead lazily, and looked at her with a half-smile: "The person sent to Qingzhou has no news, and your net may not be able to penetrate into the territory of your beautiful princess."
Speaking of this news, Lin Sishen couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with Shen Qinghou in the palace today.
Ever since he knew that Shen Qinghou was involved in the court, Lin Sishen secretly sent people to Qingzhou to investigate, and now these people were obviously detained by Shen Qinghou.As long as Shen Qingwan is around, it may be as difficult as going to heaven for her to infiltrate Qingzhou.
Lin Sishen shook his head helplessly and sighed: "The Ninth Prince's fief is in Qingzhou. With Shen Qingwan's ability, it would be rare if our people could penetrate Qingzhou."
Li Luo laughed softly, and a sly light flashed in her eyes: "You seem to have a high opinion of her, so could it be that you were once again deflated in front of her?"
Lin Sishen frowned and said: "She is really hard to figure out, and I haven't been able to find out her details until now."
Li Luo stood up: "Anyway, you are going to get married, and when you become fellow shipmates, she will always reveal some news to you."
Lin Sishen looked at her helplessly, but didn't say anything.
Li Luo went straight to the wooden table next to the bed, she put a jug of wine on the table, said with a smile: "I bought a jar of green bamboo leaves today, you want to have a drink with me."
"When did you get so interested?" Lin Sishen looked down, there was only one wine glass on the table, it seemed that if she didn't come, Li Luo should be planning to drink alone.
Li Luo smiled, took another wine glass, and put it in front of Lin Sishen: "It's just that I suddenly want to drink."
Lifting the pot to pour wine, a strong aroma of wine wafted out of his nostrils. Lin Sishen looked down at the golden-yellow-blue wine in the wine cup. Said: "You can tell it's good wine when you smell it."
Li Luo was really surprised today, a person who is usually extremely restrained, actually drank three glasses of wine in a row, and then looked lazily at Lin Sishen with his forehead propped.
Lin Sishen was not like Li Luo, she took small sips of the fine wine.
Lin Sishen loves Zhuyeqing, although the wound is good, but after drinking a glass of wine, she couldn't help but push the wine cup to Li Luo with bright eyes: "Have another glass."
Li Luo pressed the flagon, her fair and clean face seemed to be stained with a layer of blush, she tilted her head with a silly smile and said, "You can only have one drink."
"Stingy." Lin Sishen curled his lips, stared at Li Luo for a while, and suddenly asked seriously, "What a good day today."
Li Luo squinted his long and narrow eyes and stared at her for a long while, then said in a lazily drawn out voice, "It's an unusual day."
Lin Sishen saw that there seemed to be some alcohol on her face, so he frowned and asked, "Aren't you drunk?"
Li Luo didn't say anything but shook his head lightly, then stood up, and suddenly gave the order to evict the guest: "You should go, Mr. Lin, and it will be dawn in the evening."
Lin Sishen didn't say anything, just stood up and nodded, "It's time to go."
"I send you."
Crossing the courtyard, Li Luo sent her to the gate all the way, Lin Sishen stepped out of the threshold and looked back at Li Luo, reminded with a smile: Don't forget to close the windows when it's cold tonight. "
What Lin Sishen said was a bit strange, after Li Luo watched her leave, he turned and went back into the house.
Remembering Lin Sishen's deliberate reminder, she walked straight to the window without stopping, only to see a delicate rectangular wooden box on the window sill on the slightly open window under the cold white moonlight.
Li Luo was startled, she raised her hand to pick up the wooden box, and her fair white hand gently brushed the ebony wooden box carved with blossoming lotus.
After opening the wooden box, a bright and clear white jade hairpin caught the eye. The body of the hairpin is carved with exquisite and simple patterns, and a lifelike white jade lotus is hung on the hairpin head with a silver chain. Although it looks simple and elegant, it is also elegant .
The workmanship of the hosta is extremely beautiful and exquisite, so it should be very valuable.
There was only one hosta inside the wooden box, and Lin Sishen did not leave a single word, but Li Luo instantly understood that although she never said it, Lin Sishen still knew that today was her birthday.
As for why Lin Sishen gave her a hairpin, it might be a promise.
Under the moonlight, Li Luo lowered her head slightly, she raised her hand to remove the wooden hairpin in her hair, the black hair poured down like a waterfall, and there was a gentle smile on her plain and beautiful face.
After Lin Sishen returned to the general's mansion, he took off his night clothes, and then took off the clothes to reveal the scar on his shoulder.
The scar on her shoulder is not long, but about half a finger long. It's just that the scar that has just healed has not yet been replaced with new skin. From a distance, it looks like a bug lying on her shoulder, which is ugly as hell.
She took a white porcelain bottle at hand, poured some white ointment on her fingertips, and then applied it against the wound.
This medicine is the pear flower ointment that Shen Qinghou gave her last time, it said it can lighten the scars, this is the first time Lin Sishen used it, and I don't know if the effect can be so miraculous.
The ointment had a faint floral fragrance, and it was cool and refreshing when applied to the wound. When Lin Sishen was lying on the bed, the pear blossom fragrance lingered around him, as if it had a calming effect.
Lin Sishen squinted her eyes and felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. After a while, she yawned and closed her eyes.
sleepable
Seeing that Lin Sishen was recovering from his injuries in the past two days, General Lin asked Lin Sishen to escort Shen Qinghou back to the palace.
It happened that it was raining continuously this day, so Lin Sishen stood listlessly at the gate of the mansion early in the morning, stood upright in the cold wind, stared at the raindrops dripping from the eaves, and was sullenly dazed.
After breaking up unhappy that day, Lin Sishen never saw Shen Qingwan again, and if we say goodbye today, it might be a day of worshiping heaven and earth in wedding clothes.
Lin Sishen waited for a long time in the cold wind and drizzle, and then Shen Qinghou and Lan Qing Luyin came belatedly.
As soon as Shen Qinghou, who was dressed in white and had a cold face, appeared, he attracted everyone's attention. Lin Sishen looked sideways at the people who were getting closer, bowed his head slightly and respectfully said: "Sishen has seen the Princess."
Shen Qinghou glanced at her lightly, Lin Sishen's pale face was much rosier than that day, she drooped her eyes and closed her head slightly, and said in a calm and distant tone: "Mr. Lin has been waiting for a long time."
Lin Sishen didn't care much, she shook her head and said softly: "The Ninth Prince is still in the palace, today Sishen will send the princess back to the palace."
"Thank you." Shen Qinghou nodded, and walked straight to the chariot under the stone steps.
Lan Qing opened an oil-paper umbrella to cover Shen Qinghou's head.The misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River is always accompanied by hazy mist, setting off the woman who is lightly moving lotus steps in front of her eyes, her white and slender fingertips are gently lifting the hem of her skirt, her blue hair is slightly swaying in the breeze and drizzle, and the scene in front of her is beautiful like an ink painting.
Lin Sishen looked up and was about to follow, but was stopped by Lu Yin's hand, she tilted her head respectfully and said: "Young master is not married to the princess yet, so it's inconvenient to share the car."
That day we went to Xichen Temple in the same car, why is it inconvenient today, Lin Sishen felt a little helpless, but he also knew that this was a courtesy, so he raised the corners of his lips and smiled gently: "I'll just ride a horse."
However, the drizzle in spring is not annoying, Lin Sishen watched Shen Qinghou get into the carriage, and then walked up to the carriage and nodded to a general riding a tall horse in front of the carriage.
The family officer understood and jumped off the horse in a hurry and handed the reins to Lin Sishen. Lin Sishen got on the horse, and with a light shake of the hand holding the reins, he felt a soreness in his left shoulder.
Before leaving, the curtain of the car was lifted suddenly, and Lan Qing, who was holding an oiled paper umbrella, came down, walked up to Lin Sishen at a faster pace, and handed the paper umbrella to her: "Here, the princess gave it to you, the princess The lord said that if the young master's injury is still not healed, please go slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Lin Sishen took the paper umbrella, turned around to look at the carriage, and agreed in a low voice.
Shen Qingwan's win over is always so understatement, as if it was just a burst of careful attention, which makes people not feel bored at all.
The bluestone slabs under the feet are wet by the rain, and there is a crisp sound of horseshoes stepping on. The streets are full of vendors hiding under the eaves to avoid the rain, chatting in groups of idlers and whispers.
Lin Sishen's appearance was obviously particularly eye-catching, and many eyes fell on her seemingly absent-mindedly. People who often went to and from the capital knew her. Her outstanding performance in the spring hunting in the past few days has become a street corner in the capital again. talking material.
Lin Sishen didn't look sideways, she was riding a tall horse with a paper fan in one hand, and a strand of hair fell down her forehead from the jade crown she was wearing, making her a little more casual and lazy.
She has good hearing and can hear the people on both sides looking at her and talking in a low voice.
"Young master seems to have calmed down a lot."
"They're almost married, so it's time to be more cautious."
"I heard that the young master showed bravery in the spring hunting, and was seriously injured in order to save the saint. He not only captured the assassin by himself, but also hunted and killed a fierce tiger. He really deserves to be the son of the general."
"We usually miss it."
"Since the princess entered the capital, the young master has honestly never been in trouble, and he can still achieve this achievement."
"That said, it's the Princess's credit. With this virtuous wife, the young master will surely have smooth sailing in the future."
In just two short months, the people in the capital's impression of this playboy in the general's mansion has undergone earth-shaking changes, but everyone seems to have unanimously attributed her change to Shen Qingwan.
The General’s Mansion is in the south of the city, and the Wang’s Mansion is in the east of the city, close to the Forbidden City. If you want to go to the Wang’s Mansion, you must pass through the west of the city.
When passing through the west of the city, out of the corner of Lin Sishen's eye, Lin Sishen caught a glimpse of a closed shop. The shop seemed to have not opened yet, the door was closed, and the plaque hung was brand new, with red wedding satin tied on both sides. Yunji Rouge shop five Big characters come into view.
A dark light flashed in Lin Sishen's eyes, and she vaguely guessed something in her heart, thinking that tonight she would have to go to Li Luona to verify it.
Just when she was slightly dazed, a gaze suddenly cast a look on the attic of the shop, by the wooden window with a gap open.
Lin Sishen looked up, but he didn't see anyone standing by the window, only a corner of red clothes flashed by quickly.
She turned her head and sighed secretly in her heart, pulled the rein and let the horse speed up and move forward.
Not long after, Lin Sishen sent Shen Qinghou to the gate of the palace. The housekeeper who had been waiting for a long time saw the carriage stop, and hurriedly called someone to greet him.
Lin Sishen jumped off the horse, saw Shen Qinghou slowly getting out of the carriage surrounded by a crowd, and then stepped forward and said: "Since the princess has been sent back to the palace, it is time for Sishen to go back too."
Shen Qinghou glanced at her with a tilted head, with a neither cold nor indifferent expression: "Mr. Lin, don't be so impatient. I think you have been to the palace before, why don't you go in and sit down."
The old butler with white beard and hair and blushing face stepped forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "This should be the future Junma Ye, my lord is coming back soon, why don't you stay and wait, after seeing the lord Come back later."
After all arrived at the palace, it would be unreasonable not to meet her future father-in-law, so Lin Sishen agreed.
After Shen Qinghou arrived at the palace, he went back to the boudoir first, leaving the old butler to entertain Lin Sishen in the hall.
There are quite a few landscape paintings hanging on the hall, most of them were made by famous masters, Lin Sishen sized it up, coughed lightly and turned to look at the housekeeper who had been with her all the time, she asked softly, "What's your name, sir? "
"The little general is really annoying the old slave. The old slave has served the prince for decades, and the prince gave him the surname Shen Dan as a loyal one. If you don't mind the little general, just call the old slave a loyal uncle."
Being given the surname by the Ninth Prince, and having stayed in the Palace for decades, Shen Zhong should be the Prince's confidant, with an unusual status in the Palace.Thinking of this, Lin Sishen smiled lightly, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Zhong, you are welcome."
Shen Zhong always had a respectful smile on his face, he looked like an amiable old man who was respectful but not coquettish when facing guests.Seeing Lin Sishen sitting in the hall doing nothing, he suggested: "Little General, the lord has not come back yet, why don't I let this old slave take you around the palace?"
Lin Sishen stood up and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then I will trouble Uncle Zhong."
Shen Zhong led Lin Sishen to walk around the palace, he followed Lin Sishen along the way, and introduced from time to time, he knew every flower and grass in the palace by heart.
With her hands behind her back, Lin Sishen looked around, then suddenly smiled in a low voice and said, "I haven't been back to the capital for many years, Uncle Zhong is still so familiar with the palace?"
Uncle Zhong waved his hands and said humbly: "This is the duty of a slave. The master may not know about the miscellaneous affairs in the house, but the old slave has to take care of every brick and tile for the master."
Soon Shen Zhong led Lin Sishen to the back garden of the Prince's Mansion, this place is much larger than the back garden of the General's Mansion, the flowers, plants and trees are very neatly trimmed, and all kinds of flowers compete with each other in bright purples and reds at a glance.
Lin Sishen just glanced at it, then turned his gaze to a small courtyard standing alone in the corner not far from the back garden.
Shen Zhong has been observing her expression, following her gaze, he suddenly smiled and explained: "Little General, the yard you are looking at is the medicine house of my princess."
Lin Sishen was a little surprised: "The princess also knows medicine?"
Shen Zhong nodded: "Yes, my princess is not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also interested in medicine. The princess likes to search for some lonely medical books on weekdays. If a lady from an ordinary family receives some rouge powder, she will be happy, but If my princess can get a single medical book, she will be a little happier."
Lin Sishen keenly noticed that Shen Zhong seemed to be reminding her of something, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The princess is indeed a strange woman."
Shen Zhong smiled, and continued: "The old slave watched the princess grow up, so she naturally knows the princess's temperament. The princess never likes to trouble others, so she will definitely not make any demands on the little general. This medicine There is a palace in Luqingzhou, and there is also one here."
The reminder was so obvious that Lin Sishen naturally understood what he meant. She narrowed her eyes and smiled in a low voice: "Uncle Zhong's meaning is very clear. After the princess gets started, Sishen will definitely set aside land to build a building for the princess." Medicine house."
Shen Zhong nodded in satisfaction, he stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Little General, it's time for the prince to go back to his residence, so why not go back to the hall first and wait."
After following Shen Zhong back to the hall, the Ninth Prince came back not long after, he frowned as soon as he stepped on the threshold and saw Lin Sishen.
Lin Sishen got up and cupped his hands towards him, saluted respectfully and said: "Sishen has met the Ninth Prince."
Ninth Prince nodded perfunctorily, then looked at Shen Zhong at the side, took the teacup he offered, and asked, "Wu'er is back?"
Shen Zhong bowed his head respectfully and said: "My lord, the princess is resting inside the house."
The Ninth Prince took a sip of the tea, then waved his hand: "Uncle Zhong, go down first, I have a few words to say to Lin Sishen."
After Shen Zhong withdrew, only Lin Sishen and the Ninth Prince were left in the hall, and the atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.
The Ninth Prince flicked the hem of his clothes, and asked casually: "How are you doing on the road?"
Lin Sishen stood beside him, narrowed his eyes and said, "Report to the lord, the journey is smooth."
The Ninth Prince nodded. He stood with his hands behind his back and his eyes fell on Lin Sishen. Seeing that her posture was still respectful, he took a deep breath and said, "You performed well in the Spring Hunting last time. Today, the emperor brother told me that you are very respectful. After you and Yu'er get married, go to the Ministry of War to report on your duties, and the imperial decree should be issued tomorrow."
"Sishen knows."
After saying these two sentences, the Ninth Prince frowned impatiently and drove away: "It's nothing, you can go back."
The Ninth Prince had always disliked Lin Sishen, and Lin Sishen didn't really want to get along with him, so Lin Sishen immediately responded, "My lord, Sishen bids his farewell."
Just as Lin Sishen couldn't wait to step out of the threshold, Shen Qinghou's voice suddenly came from behind: "Mr. Lin, wait a minute."
Lin Sishen closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then turned around and said with a smile: "Dare to ask the princess to stop Sishen, but what's the matter?"
Shen Qinghou changed into a blue robe which was rare, with a few bamboo leaves embroidered with silver thread on the lapel, which looked elegant and graceful.After her eyes lightly passed over Lin Sishen's body, she smiled and looked at the Ninth Prince, and said softly: "Father, it's almost time for lunch, why don't you leave Young Master Lin after lunch."
The Ninth Prince lowered his face and glanced at Lin Sishen, as if he blamed her for walking too slowly.But even Shen Qingwan opened his mouth, the Ninth Prince could only nod his head and said: "Alright, then stay, lest Lin Zheng say that this king has neglected his son."
No, Lin Sishen was really willing to be neglected by him, she had a warm smile on her face, but she secretly thought it was bad luck in her heart.
The feeling of being in the same room with Shen Qinghou and the Ninth Prince was terribly unbearable. The Ninth Prince sat in the first place, staring at Lin Sishen intentionally or unintentionally, as if guarding against a thief.
Even if she moved slightly, the eyes of the Ninth Prince would follow. If she accidentally glanced at Shen Qinghou, the Ninth Prince's eyes would be as if he was going to eat her, and his face could be seen with the naked eye. The speed instantly went dark.
Lin Sishen straightened his back and put his hands on his knees, staring straight ahead without moving, fearing that he would fall into the hands of the Ninth Prince again and get hurt.
During the silent confrontation between the two, Shen Qinghou seemed a lot more relaxed. She turned her head and stared at Lin Sishen. Said: "Father, why don't you go and change the court clothes after you're back home?"
The Ninth Prince looked at her, and his complexion softened a lot in an instant: "It's not too late to change after lunch."
After all, he just didn't want Lin Sishen to be alone with Shen Qinghou under his nose.
Shen Qinghou shook his head lightly, and said again: "Father, you should go and change into casual clothes."
After saying the words twice, the Ninth Prince understood what Shen Qingwan meant, and his precious daughter just wanted to distract him.
Sure enough, the women's college didn't stay.
He cast a gloomy look at Lin Sishen, then stood up helplessly and said, "That's all, I'm going to change the court clothes first."
In a blink of an eye, only Shen Qinghou and Lin Sishen were left in the hall, and the serving maids were guarding outside the door.
As soon as the Ninth Prince left, Lin Sishen breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't afraid of the Ninth Prince, but was just a little awkward facing his thieves-like gaze.
Shen Qinghou's eyes fell on her, and he suddenly raised his lips and smiled: "It's going to make things difficult for you by keeping you here."
Lin Sishen shook her head, she glanced at Shen Qinghou from the corner of her eye, and seeing that her expression didn't seem to be as cold as that day, she smiled and said: "That's nothing, we will always get along in the future."
Shen Qinghou stood up suddenly, and she walked slowly in front of Lin Sishen, looking down at her, a dark light flashed in her cold eyes: "Mr. Lin, did you manage the tea business in Qingzhou recently?"
Lin Sishen's hands hanging on his knees slowly tightened, with a clear smile still on his face: "The princess is really well informed, Sishen really wants to open two tea shops in Qingzhou."
Shen Qinghou closed her eyes and said softly: "The tea business in Qingzhou has never been easy to do. If Mr. Lin really plans to open a tea shop in Qingzhou, I'm afraid he will earn less and lose more."
There was a light fragrance from Shen Qinghou's body beside the nostrils. The beautiful woman in front of her lowered her eyebrows slightly, and her exquisite facial features seemed to be more moist.But what she said made Lin Sishen's back shudder.
Lin Sishen stopped straightening her back, and she looked directly into Shen Qinghou's eyes: "So it turns out that Sishen doesn't know the market in Qingzhou. Since the Princess has said so, then Sishen will call him back tomorrow."
Shen Qinghou smiled faintly: "That's not necessary, if you know that they are Mr. Lin's people, if you want to do your best as a landlord, you should invite them to visit Qingzhou for a few days, and then Qingwang will send someone to send them back. "
Lin Sishen lowered his eyes and said politely: "Sishen will feel more at ease if the princess sends someone to take care of her. If she wants to do business in Qingzhou again, Sishen will definitely ask the princess first."
Hearing what she said, Shen Qinghou turned around, her back was facing Lin Sishen, and her tone was flat: "Qinghou just stayed in Qingzhou for a long time, and knows a thing or two about Qingzhou's commercial market. If Mr. Lin really wants to It is not impossible to do business in Qingzhou."
"What does the princess mean?" Lin Sishen slowly closed his eyes, and loosened his fists on his knees.
Shen Qinghou, who turned his back to her, pondered for a moment, then asked softly, "I heard that Mr. Lin's business in Yongzhou is doing very well."
Lin Sishen's expression froze, she quickly opened her eyes, stood up and said seriously: "If you want to do business in Qingzhou, it's better not to be cautious. I didn't think carefully before, after all, Qingzhou is too far away from the capital."
Shen Qinghou turned around, the distance between the two was only one step apart, and it might seem a bit too close to outsiders.
Looking at the person in front of her with a half-smile, Shen Qinghou closed her eyes and curled her lips, her voice suddenly softened a lot: "Mr. Lin is a genius in business, and his business has spread all over Jin in just two years."
Lin Sishen raised her eyebrows calmly, and she quickly said in a low voice: "The princess wants to cooperate with Sishen?"
Shen Qinghou slightly tilted his head, and a smile flashed across his clear eyes: "I'm afraid Mr. Lin will not agree."
Lin Sishen looked at her without moving, and said with a smile: "If the Princess is willing to part with the principal, Sishen will ask for it."
Shen Qinghou's face suddenly got closer, she leaned closer to Lin Sishen, her thin lips were slightly parted and exhaled like blue: "I think we can discuss this matter slowly in the future."
The faint fragrance of the person in front of her smelled better the closer she got to her. Lin Sishen pursed her lips, her eyes flickered and she turned her head away, a strand of intertwined hair brushed across her face, making her subconsciously raise her hand to pick it up. open.
The soft and greasy hair was entangled with the fingertips. After a short moment of stunned, Shen Qinghou suddenly stretched out his hand, and the white fingertips picked up the strand of hair and put it behind the ear.Because of the closeness, Lin Sishen's eyes followed her and landed on her fair ears.
A layer of fine, almost invisible fluff can be vaguely seen on the small and white pinnae, which looks so cute that one wants to reach out and pinch it.
Fortunately, Lin Sishen didn't make a move, and Shen Qinghou also noticed her gaze. She frowned slightly, a trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and then she took two steps back with a cold snort.
When the Ninth Prince changed into plain clothes and returned to the hall, the two had already separated. Lin Sishen was still sitting obediently with his hands on his knees, while Shen Qinghou stood at the table pouring tea.
Seeing the Ninth Prince coming, Lin Sishen raised his head, blinked his dark and moist eyes, and his face was obedient and calm.
After a while, the maidservants brought the dishes to the table. Lin Sishen randomly found a place to sit down, but the Ninth Prince frowned and saw Lin Sishen and Shen Qinghou face to face, so he pointed to his left side, motioning for Lin Sishen to sit down. .
Lin Sishen had no choice but to sit over, the Ninth Prince was sitting at the main seat, Shen Qinghou was a little further away, but Lin Sishen was closer to the Ninth Prince.
The food on the table was full of fragrant fish and meat, Lin Sishen only ate two pieces of tofu in front of him, and wanted to take two bites before saying goodbye and going back.
But the Ninth Prince saw that she only ate tofu, he frowned dissatisfiedly and said: "Look at you being so thin, you still eat some green vegetables and tofu."
Lin Sishen raised his head and was about to speak, but saw the Ninth Prince put a piece of fatty pork in her bowl, and nodded in satisfaction, "Man, eat more meat to grow stronger, so you look like this." Only the momentum."
"Many... Thank you, my lord." Lin Sishen looked at the piece of fatty pork in front of him, and felt his stomach churn.
During these days, she was recuperating at home, and her grandmother made chicken soup for her every day. Now she feels nauseous whenever she sees meat.
But this piece of meat was given to her by the Ninth Prince. It was a love from her future father-in-law. How dare she refuse it.
Under the sharp eyes of the Ninth Prince and Shen Qinghou's half-smile eyes, Lin Sishen could only smile and pick up the piece of meat and stuff it into his mouth.
After biting down, it felt like his mouth was full of oil, Lin Sishen bit the bullet and swallowed, then stiffly smiled at the Ninth Prince.
"It seems that you still like to eat meat." The Ninth Prince smiled gratifiedly, and picked up another piece of meat and put it in her bowl: "Then eat some more."
Lin Sishen took a deep breath, and finally couldn't help but look up at Shen Qingwan.
Shen Qinghou understood that Lin Sishen was asking for help almost instantly, she closed her eyes and curled her lips into a smile, and finally opened her mouth to help Lin Sishen: "Father, it is only because she is hurt, how can she eat these greasy things, it's better to be light. "
Hearing what Shen Qinghou said, the smile on Ninth Prince's face disappeared immediately, and he sighed in a muffled voice, "Your care about him."
Fortunately, the Ninth Prince did not embarrass Lin Sishen any more. After lunch, Lin Sishen hurriedly bid farewell to the Ninth Prince Shen Qinghou, and then left the palace as if fleeing on horseback.
That night, Lin Sishen took advantage of the darkness to look for Li Luo.
This time Lin Sishen didn't sneak in over the wall like the previous two times, but knocked on the door beforehand.Every time she came back, it was the fourth watch. Ordinary people had already fallen asleep. In the empty streets and alleys, she was the only one dressed in black, perfectly blending into the night.
Before long, the mahogany door was pulled open with a creak, and Li Luo's face loomed inside.
Today, Li Luo seemed a little surprised by Lin Sishen's appearance. After all, in the past, Lin Sishen would only come to look for her after Liu Ce put out Clivia.
Li Luo's eyes flickered slightly, and after hesitating for a while, she opened the door and let Lin Sishen in: "Liu Ce's Clivia is not on display, why are you here today?"
Lin Sishen passed by Li Luo sideways, and keenly smelled a faint smell of blood from her body. She stood behind the door and watched Li Luo hang the latch, and then asked softly: "Is someone here? Is it convenient to see me?"
Li Luo lowered his head with his back to her, and replied in a light tone: "Yes, a junior in the door."
Lin Sishen frowned slightly, and said, "In that case, I'll come back tomorrow."
Li Luo turned around slowly, with a gentle smile on his fair and beautiful face, but there was still a chilling intent hidden in his dark eyes: "It's no inconvenience, let's go in."
Today's Li Luo seems to be a little different from usual, the smell of blood on her body and the chilling look in her eyes remind Lin Sishen of the scene when he first met her.
Pushing open the half-closed door, Lin Sishen met a pair of terrified eyes as soon as he raised his head.
A bloody smell filled the room, Lin Sishen frowned and looked at him.
Inside the room, a handsome and immature man dressed in black who looked about ten years old was kneeling on the ground, and a large area of sticky scarlet blood was dripping on the floor around him.
The man's face was pale and he covered his left arm with his right hand. His hand seemed to be injured, and the wound was still dripping blood.
After seeing Lin Sishen entering, he was taken aback for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Li Luo who was behind Lin Sishen, then his pupils dilated and he lowered his head trembling in horror, he must have been terrified.
Li Luo's saber was placed on a wooden table beside him, on the white blade gleaming with cold light, there were still a few fine drops of blood stained on it.
Lin Sishen understood the scene in front of her with just one glance, she turned her head and gave Li Luo a meaningful look, she didn't say anything, just walked slowly to the window and turned her back to the two of them without speaking.
Li Luo closed the door and walked in slowly, every time she took a step the man couldn't help trembling, until Li Luo came to the front, the man finally couldn't help but knelt down on the ground, begging in a low voice : "I beg my senior sister to bypass me this time."
Li Luo raised his hand and picked up the saber on the table with a cold gaze. The man sensed her movement, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe for a moment. He held his breath and curled up like a tamed lamb, lying on the ground. Even facing the butcher's knife on the cutting board, he didn't dare to resist at all.
There was a crisp sound when the long sword was sheathed, Li Luo raised his eyes to look at Lin Sishen who was standing silently by the window, then looked at the man and said slowly: "Small punishment, no exception."
Hearing that he was amnesty, the man hurriedly kowtowed three times in front of Li Luo: "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister, thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister."
Li Luo threw a black porcelain bottle from his sleeve to him, and then said coldly: "If you miss again next time, I don't need to remind you of the consequences."
Lin Sishen stood in front of the window with her eyes closed, but she didn't seem to hear the conversation between the two behind her. This was Li Luo's rules in the Dark Hall, she had no right to intervene or ask.
After the man left with the porcelain bottle, Li Luo raised his eyes to look at Lin Sishen, a smile slowly appeared on his cold face: "Scared?"
Lin Sishen turned around, just now the man had not taken off the black scarf underneath her, but now he only showed a pair of clear eyes.
She smiled helplessly, looked at the blood on the ground, and asked, "I'm not a kind person."
The people who entered the Dark Hall have long put life and death aside, and have sold their lives. Whether they live or die depends only on themselves.And Li Luo is also a member of Anyintang, if one day she will miss it too.
I'm afraid that the punishment she will receive will only be ten thousand times more severe than that man just now.
Thinking of this, she raised her eyes to look at Li Luo, her dark and deep eyes were full of complex expressions.
Li Luo lowered his eyes and smiled, turned his head and asked softly: "Your injury is healed?"
"Yeah." Lin Sishen nodded, she sighed softly and said, "It's just a skin trauma, it will be fine after a few days of care."
Li Luo looked at her left shoulder, stared blankly for a while, then smiled and said: "You have made great achievements this time, and you have joined the Ministry of War. In the future, you should become a majestic general just like your father."
Lin Sishen shook his head helplessly: "What I'm afraid of is that one day I will really go to the battlefield."
After she finished speaking, she remembered the rouge shop she saw in the west of the city today, and asked softly, "Is Yunliu's business settled?"
Under the dim candlelight, Li Luo's face was soft and clear, she nodded and said: "It's done, she has now opened a rouge shop in the west of the city, called Yunji, I heard that it will open tomorrow, do you want to buy it?" Go to join us?"
Lin Sishen came over and sat beside Li Luo, she pulled off the black scarf on her face, she shook her head thoughtfully and said: "Forget it, I'd better not provoke her."
Li Luo responded casually, then looked at Lin Sishen's face, and suddenly said with a smile: "Why do I feel that you have gained some weight after recuperating for a few days?"
Lin Sishen's expression froze, she stretched out her hand to touch her face unnaturally, and then sighed: "Don't mention it, my grandmother has cooked a lot of chicken soup and stew for me these days, and said to replenish my blood, a bowl A bowl of it was poured into my stomach, and now I feel like throwing up when I smell chicken soup."
Li Luo withdrew his gaze and smiled faintly: "Someone misses you, you should be content."
Lin Sishen was a little stunned by her seemingly casual response, she lowered her head silently, and changed the subject, "What news do you have recently?"
Li Luo frowned slightly, and replied: "After the envoys from the Lao Kingdom were imprisoned, all parties are ready to move. Liu Ce sent people to sneak into Youzhou secretly, and planted a lot of eyeliners outside Duke Qing's mansion."
Lin Sishen took a deep breath and thought in a low voice: "Duke Qing and the envoys of the Lao Kingdom, why did Liu Ce send people to monitor Youzhou and Duke Qing's mansion at the same time? Could there be some connection between them?"
Li Luo saw that she was thinking, so he expressed his thoughts: "Duke Qing belongs to the Crown Prince, if Duke Qing really has contact with the envoys of the Lao Kingdom, then the Crown Prince should be involved in this matter."
"The assassin who assassinated the emperor last time was also a spy from the Lao Kingdom." Lin Sishen's brows became tighter and tighter, and she seemed to see the second prince quietly opening a net: "I'm afraid things are not that simple. Your Majesty has always He hates Laos very much, and now the person who assassinated him is a Lao. If peace cannot be negotiated, there will be another war."
Li Luo nodded: "That's something for later. If Liu Ce makes any moves, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible. But at this time, it's better for us to stay put."
Lin Sishen smiled lightly, and said: "I won't make a move easily. All I need now is a complete information network, a dark network that penetrates the world." : "And I will be the center of this web."
Li Luo propped his forehead lazily, and looked at her with a half-smile: "The person sent to Qingzhou has no news, and your net may not be able to penetrate into the territory of your beautiful princess."
Speaking of this news, Lin Sishen couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with Shen Qinghou in the palace today.
Ever since he knew that Shen Qinghou was involved in the court, Lin Sishen secretly sent people to Qingzhou to investigate, and now these people were obviously detained by Shen Qinghou.As long as Shen Qingwan is around, it may be as difficult as going to heaven for her to infiltrate Qingzhou.
Lin Sishen shook his head helplessly and sighed: "The Ninth Prince's fief is in Qingzhou. With Shen Qingwan's ability, it would be rare if our people could penetrate Qingzhou."
Li Luo laughed softly, and a sly light flashed in her eyes: "You seem to have a high opinion of her, so could it be that you were once again deflated in front of her?"
Lin Sishen frowned and said: "She is really hard to figure out, and I haven't been able to find out her details until now."
Li Luo stood up: "Anyway, you are going to get married, and when you become fellow shipmates, she will always reveal some news to you."
Lin Sishen looked at her helplessly, but didn't say anything.
Li Luo went straight to the wooden table next to the bed, she put a jug of wine on the table, said with a smile: "I bought a jar of green bamboo leaves today, you want to have a drink with me."
"When did you get so interested?" Lin Sishen looked down, there was only one wine glass on the table, it seemed that if she didn't come, Li Luo should be planning to drink alone.
Li Luo smiled, took another wine glass, and put it in front of Lin Sishen: "It's just that I suddenly want to drink."
Lifting the pot to pour wine, a strong aroma of wine wafted out of his nostrils. Lin Sishen looked down at the golden-yellow-blue wine in the wine cup. Said: "You can tell it's good wine when you smell it."
Li Luo was really surprised today, a person who is usually extremely restrained, actually drank three glasses of wine in a row, and then looked lazily at Lin Sishen with his forehead propped.
Lin Sishen was not like Li Luo, she took small sips of the fine wine.
Lin Sishen loves Zhuyeqing, although the wound is good, but after drinking a glass of wine, she couldn't help but push the wine cup to Li Luo with bright eyes: "Have another glass."
Li Luo pressed the flagon, her fair and clean face seemed to be stained with a layer of blush, she tilted her head with a silly smile and said, "You can only have one drink."
"Stingy." Lin Sishen curled his lips, stared at Li Luo for a while, and suddenly asked seriously, "What a good day today."
Li Luo squinted his long and narrow eyes and stared at her for a long while, then said in a lazily drawn out voice, "It's an unusual day."
Lin Sishen saw that there seemed to be some alcohol on her face, so he frowned and asked, "Aren't you drunk?"
Li Luo didn't say anything but shook his head lightly, then stood up, and suddenly gave the order to evict the guest: "You should go, Mr. Lin, and it will be dawn in the evening."
Lin Sishen didn't say anything, just stood up and nodded, "It's time to go."
"I send you."
Crossing the courtyard, Li Luo sent her to the gate all the way, Lin Sishen stepped out of the threshold and looked back at Li Luo, reminded with a smile: Don't forget to close the windows when it's cold tonight. "
What Lin Sishen said was a bit strange, after Li Luo watched her leave, he turned and went back into the house.
Remembering Lin Sishen's deliberate reminder, she walked straight to the window without stopping, only to see a delicate rectangular wooden box on the window sill on the slightly open window under the cold white moonlight.
Li Luo was startled, she raised her hand to pick up the wooden box, and her fair white hand gently brushed the ebony wooden box carved with blossoming lotus.
After opening the wooden box, a bright and clear white jade hairpin caught the eye. The body of the hairpin is carved with exquisite and simple patterns, and a lifelike white jade lotus is hung on the hairpin head with a silver chain. Although it looks simple and elegant, it is also elegant .
The workmanship of the hosta is extremely beautiful and exquisite, so it should be very valuable.
There was only one hosta inside the wooden box, and Lin Sishen did not leave a single word, but Li Luo instantly understood that although she never said it, Lin Sishen still knew that today was her birthday.
As for why Lin Sishen gave her a hairpin, it might be a promise.
Under the moonlight, Li Luo lowered her head slightly, she raised her hand to remove the wooden hairpin in her hair, the black hair poured down like a waterfall, and there was a gentle smile on her plain and beautiful face.
After Lin Sishen returned to the general's mansion, he took off his night clothes, and then took off the clothes to reveal the scar on his shoulder.
The scar on her shoulder is not long, but about half a finger long. It's just that the scar that has just healed has not yet been replaced with new skin. From a distance, it looks like a bug lying on her shoulder, which is ugly as hell.
She took a white porcelain bottle at hand, poured some white ointment on her fingertips, and then applied it against the wound.
This medicine is the pear flower ointment that Shen Qinghou gave her last time, it said it can lighten the scars, this is the first time Lin Sishen used it, and I don't know if the effect can be so miraculous.
The ointment had a faint floral fragrance, and it was cool and refreshing when applied to the wound. When Lin Sishen was lying on the bed, the pear blossom fragrance lingered around him, as if it had a calming effect.
Lin Sishen squinted her eyes and felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. After a while, she yawned and closed her eyes.
