Shen Qingwan was choked back by Lin Sishen's words about the old lover's life. She looked at Lin Sishen who was full of impatience, but she was not annoyed, but said lightly, "Let's remember the fairy building to avoid the rain first."

Seeing that Shen Qingwan's face remained unchanged and his expression was indifferent, Lin Sishen suddenly felt a little annoyed, she frowned and turned her head away without speaking again.

Seeing this, Bai Tingshan walked over quickly, glanced at Lin Sishen, then fell on Shen Qingwan, and said with a soft smile: "Princess, Tingshan came from Qingzhou this time, and specially brought two altars of green plums. Wine, wouldn't it be nice for the three of us to sit on the ground together, taste wine and enjoy the rain."

After speaking, he looked at Lin Sishen with a smile, his expression was quite gentle and humble: "I have learned from the princess in the past that Mr. Lin is also a wine lover. Today, you might as well try the green plum wine that I brewed myself."

Although Lin Sishen hated Bai Tingshan a little, but she stretched out her hand not to slap the smiling face, she was not good at making sarcastic remarks, so she could only forcefully lift her lips and smiled: "Thank you Mr. Bai for your kindness, I used to drink really good wine, but now that I am weak, I am afraid Can stay away from fine wine."

Bai Tingshan shook his head pretending to be regretful, and sighed softly: "It seems that Mr. Lin will not be blessed to enjoy this fine wine today."

Bai Tingshan's words were slightly teasing, but it was actually quite normal, but for some reason it fell into Lin Sishen's ears, but there was a bit more meaning in it.

She narrowed her gaze, raised her chin to stare at Baiting Mountain, and suddenly changed her mind with a smile on her lips: "Since Mr. Bai is so kind, I think it's okay for me to have a drink."

Bai Tingshan seemed to be startled when he heard the words, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Shen Qingwan, only to see that Shen Qingwan was staring at Lin Sishen, with a slight smile in his clear eyes.

He was about to say something, but Shen Qingwan turned around slowly, and said in a flat tone: "Don't stop any longer, let's go on our way first."

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and gloomy, the three of them couldn't stay any longer, so they walked along the Qingshiban Road and hurried to the Memories Tower to avoid the rain.

Along the way, Bai Tingshan accompanied Shen Qingwan step by step, held an umbrella for her, and chatted a few words from time to time.

But Lin Sishen followed behind them with his hands behind his back, listening to what they said.I don't know if Bai Tingshan is interested, what he and Shen Qingwan are talking about are some interesting things that happened in Qingzhou in the past, Lin Sishen has no way to intervene.

Lin Sishen frowned, her expression was quite indifferent, she raised her eyes and looked at the pair of gifted men and beautiful women who were talking softly under the umbrella in front of her, she felt that they looked very compatible.

There are often rumors in the market, but any woman who has seen Baiting Mountain will be fascinated by him.

Even Lin Sishen had to admit that a handsome, elegant, unrestrained young talent like Bai Tingshan was indeed very attractive to women, and even Shen Qingwan would chuckle lightly from time to time when talking with him.

For some reason, seeing Shen Qingwan and Bai Tingshan's familiar and natural behavior, Lin Sishen suddenly felt a little sour, but she didn't know why she was like this.

Last night she and Shen Qingwan did have some escapades, but today she said it in front of Shen Qingwan, pretending that none of this happened.

What's more, she and Shen Qingwan have reconciled, and the two have nothing to do with each other. Even if Shen Qingwan flirts with others in front of her, it's not her turn to take care of her.

Even though she caressed herself like this, she still felt a little sore in her heart. She followed them absent-mindedly, and unknowingly, followed them to Yixian Tower.

As soon as he stepped on the stone steps, there was a sudden thunder in his ears, followed by pouring rain.

The bean-sized raindrops had just hit his shoulders, before Lin Sishen could react, his wrists tightened, and he was gently tugged and fell into a cool and soft embrace, and a gentle but helpless moan rang in his ears.

"Be careful, your body is weak, what should you do if you catch a cold."

Shen Qingwan half embraced Lin Sishen, took a silk handkerchief from her sleeve, and gently wiped the raindrops on her shoulders and hair.When Lin Sishen came back to his senses, he raised his eyes from Shen Qingwan's arms in a daze, and happened to meet Baitingshan's gaze.

Bai Tingshan held the paper umbrella tightly, and looked at the two cuddled together with frown, as if trying to restrain the pain in his heart, his slender fingers were tightly closed, as if to break the handle of the umbrella.

Lin Sishen could clearly see the jealousy in Bai Tingshan's eyes, and the hand she wanted to break free unexpectedly dropped silently.Xu Shi gained the upper hand in front of Bai Ting Shan, she felt a little excited in her heart, she raised her eyebrows and smiled provocatively at Bai Ting Shan.

She only cared about her complacency, but she didn't expect that the corners of Shen Qingwan's lips curled up slightly where she couldn't see.

Bai Tingshan took a deep breath, turned his head sadly, and just stood quietly beside the two of them and waited.

After carefully wiping away the raindrops from Lin Sishen's hair, Shen Qingwan slowly took two steps back, looked at Lin Sishen and said softly, "I'll ask someone to prepare warm water later, you go take a bath and change clothes first."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Sishen readily responded, "Okay."

Seeing this, Bai Tingshan didn't say anything, just quietly followed Shen Qingwan, and walked into Yixian Tower with the two of them.

Shen Qingwan called his servants to prepare warm water for Lin Sishen, and she led Lin Sishen to pick out a change of clothes, while Bai Tingshan waited alone in the lobby.

Passing through the winding corridors, along the way, the huge Yixian Pavilion was empty, except for the two attendants that Lin Sishen had seen, there seemed to be no one else.

Lin Sishen looked a little suspicious, and asked: "The Yixian Tower was very lively when I came back, why is it so deserted now?"

Shen Qingwan, who was walking in front, paused, and turned around slowly to look at her: "Grand Li lives in the capital, and occasionally comes to Yixianlou for a short stay, and only a few servants are left here to take care of it."

Lin Sishen nodded when he heard the words, looked around and couldn't help sighing: "Although it is a pavilion with carved beams and painted buildings, if it loses popularity, it will really look a bit empty and desolate."

Shen Qingwan curled her lips into a smile, and jokingly said, "Are you scared?"

Lin Sishen asked in confusion, "Why should I be afraid?"

Shen Qingwan didn't know where the interest came from, she narrowed her eyes, and said quietly: "The barren mountain, the lonely building, the storm, and no one knows that you are here..."

In the middle of speaking, she stopped abruptly and stared at Lin Sishen with a smile.

Lin Sishen wanted to laugh when she saw this, she was in a good mood and imitated what Shen Qingwan said, and retorted: "The Princess is not that jackal, tiger and leopard, could it be possible that she can still eat me?"

Shen Qingwan slowly raised her hand, her slender and slender fingertips lightly brushed her ears, raising a strand of black hair, and a sly smile flashed in her bright and clear eyes: "I'm quite a bit confused about this." Very interested."

Lin Sishen's heart trembled, and he coughed hastily and said, "Young Master Bai is still waiting for the princess in the lobby. He is a distinguished guest of the princess, so the princess is not afraid of neglecting him?"

Shen Qingwan smiled when she heard the words, then turned around slowly and said, "It's true."

After finishing the words, she ignored Lin Sishen and walked straight forward.

Lin Sishen was left on the spot, stunned for a while before recalling it, she twitched the corners of her lips, reluctantly followed, and couldn't help but asked again: "When the princess was in Qingzhou, she seemed to have a relationship with Bai The young master has a deep friendship?"

Shen Qingwan smiled softly, her pace slowed down a bit, and she said with a sneer without turning her head: "If you feel jealous, just say it, so why bother to cross-examine."

Lin Sishen walked quickly to Shen Qingwan's side, walked side by side with her, and said dissatisfiedly: "When did I become jealous, the princess really thinks too much."

Shen Qingwan laughed and said nothing, just led Lin Sishen forward all the way, but Lin Sishen was quite dissatisfied when he saw her like this, so he asked again: "Is the princess today the princess?" Deliberately lure Mr. Bai to Yixian Tower?"

Shen Qingwan looked ahead, and said quietly: "Why should I do this, you really think too much."

Lin Sishen was stopped by Shen Qingwan again, and immediately snorted softly and said: "I think that Mr. Bai seems to be interested in the princess, and he rushed from Qingzhou in just three days with a letter. Never stopped."

Shen Qingwan glanced at Lin Sishen lightly with her head tilted, and said with a half-smile: "Since you can see that he is interested in me, then can you tell that... I am interested in you?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Sishen actually lowered her head and stopped, and raised her eyes to stare at Shen Qingwan with a complicated expression. In fact, there are some things she should have asked a long time ago, but she has never asked them before, or maybe she forgot that she could asked.

Shen Qingwan seemed to have noticed something, she didn't turn around, but asked softly: "What do you want to ask?"

Lin Sishen looked at Shen Qingwan's back, took a deep breath, frowned and said in a deep voice, "Since the princess is interested in me, why did you make peace with me in the first place?"

Lin Sishen has always wanted to know the answer to this question, but she had some scruples before and never asked it clearly. She just wanted to wait for Shen Qingwan to tell her in person.

Fortunately, she had completely forgotten about Shen Qingwan, but she was able to ask.

A trace of sadness flashed across Shen Qingwan's eyes, she slowly turned around and looked at Lin Sishen, her thin lips slightly parted: "You... really want to know the answer?"

"nature."

Lin Sishen nodded, she was a little confused and hesitant: "After waking up that day, I only forgot about you. I actually know that the relationship between you and me is true, and you are very kind to me. Ke Mo Zhu Niangqin, even Li Luo, they all said that it was a good thing for me to forget you. If I chose to forget you at the beginning, then I would like to know...what exactly are you hiding from me that made me so disappointed in you."

Shen Qingwan said in a soft voice with a complicated expression: "You blame me, I have to blame myself."

Hearing the words, Lin Sishen looked at Shen Qingwan firmly, stepped forward and said: "Now you keep saying that you care about me, since you care, then you still want to hide it from me?"

Shen Qingwan nodded, her eyes flickered with a dim light, this day has finally come.

She sighed, looked back into Lin Sishen's eyes, and said softly: "I had no choice but to reconcile with you back then. In order to protect you, I can only do so."

Lin Sishen's expression changed slightly: "Who wants to kill me? You have to make peace with me to protect me."

Shen Qingwan pursed her thin lips, and closed her eyes helplessly: "Actually, you already guessed it, didn't you?"

Indeed, Lin Sishen had already guessed who that person was. In the whole world, who could offend Shen Qingwan and General Weiyuan's mansion at the same time, and who had the courage and means to put Lin Sishen to death?

Only the king with supreme power can stretch out his hand, like crushing an ant, crushing Lin Sishen and General Weiyuan's mansion to death.

Lin Sishen's complexion changed several times, but he still suppressed his trembling and asked softly, "But why, why did he do this?"

Shen Qingwan clenched her hanging fingertips silently, and she asked softly, "Do you know why your father and elder brother almost died in that battle?"

A chill rose from Lin Sishen's back, her body couldn't stop trembling, her face turned pale and she said, "Of course I know that the battle was fought by the Lao country in the army, and the general's deployment was revealed to the Lao commander. ..”

Lin Sishen's voice became deeper and deeper, and her face became paler and paler. She vaguely guessed the answer, but she couldn't believe it. She took a deep breath and continued: "Back then, my father had personally uncovered the secret work, and His Majesty still He once ordered his nine clans to be punished, and his bones and ashes were scattered, and he has comforted the soldiers who died in battle."

That battle back then was a taboo in General Weiyuan's Mansion, and it was also the starting point of everything.

Although the current Weiyuan General's Mansion is still prestigious in the capital, it is no different than it was back then.

Lin Ying fought for the country for many years, defended against the enemy outside the country, won many battles without losing a single defeat, and was named a first-rank general in less than forty years.It is the ever-victorious general who stands in the hearts of the people of Jin. All the people are sure that as long as General Lin is there, Jin will never be invaded by foreign enemies.

And the twins under his knees, Lin Sitao and Lin Silue, are young generals with infinite glory, inheriting his father's heroism at a young age, wise and brave, and upright, like the dazzling double stars rising in the capital.

What a sight the Weiyuan General's Mansion was at that time.

After that battle, everything changed silently. After Lin Zheng was seriously injured and returned to Beijing, he never went into battle again. Lin Sitao lost his arm and became a cripple. The next loess is a clothes tomb.

Also because of that battle, the old lady was seriously ill and dying. If Liu Qingyun hadn't given birth to Lin Sishen and carried her to the sick bed and told her that she was a young son, the old lady felt that there were successors in the Lin family, and she loved Lin Sishen without his father and brother, and would have died. With a sigh of relief, I am afraid that he would have died of depression long ago.

For so many years, Lin Zheng never mentioned the events of that year, but whenever someone mentioned them, he would be furious. Lin Sitao was even more depressed and locked himself in the house, as if he was still in the battlefield of that year.

The General's Mansion fell behind, Lin Sishen guarded the General's Mansion tremblingly, fearing that the General's Mansion would be destroyed by a single mistake.

She was only worried that after the new emperor ascended the throne, it would be detrimental to the general's mansion, but she never thought that the person who wanted to harm the general's mansion from the beginning to the end was not the old prince, the second prince, or the fourth prince.

Lin Sishen was filled with unspeakable grief, indignation and humiliation. She looked up at Shen Qingwan with a face as pale as paper, and asked in a trembling voice, "Really...is it really him?"

Shen Qingwan turned to the beginning, she was a little speechless, but she also knew that she couldn't hide it anymore: "There is no so-called meticulous work at all, that person is just a dead ghost."

"No wonder."

Lin Sishen laughed out loud suddenly, and she lowered her head and said word by word: "No wonder those who have experienced military defense back then either disappeared or never opened their mouths."

Yes, Lin Sishen was suspicious. A few years ago, she sent Luo Wang to investigate the ins and outs of that incident, but found nothing. All the insiders seemed to have disappeared without a trace, even the files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice disappeared. There is no way to check it.

She still remembered that she once asked her father about the details of that incident back then, but her father seemed crazy, and without asking the reason, he said she was messing around, beat her up, and threw her to the ancestral hall to kneel as a punishment.

At that time, she thought that her father was just guilty and didn't want to mention that matter again.

Lin Sishen asked softly again: "Did Father know about that matter?"

Shen Qingwan nodded, she seemed to be a bit impatient, but she still said ruthlessly: "General Lin has already seen the joints, but he knows in his heart that if this matter is announced, it will lead to murder, so..."

Lin Sishen has never felt like a waste like today, she trembled violently and staggered back two steps, she stared at Shen Qingwan in disbelief, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, making her She couldn't even see Shen Qingwan's face clearly.

She stretched out her hands and stared down at her hands, as if warm rain was falling on her palms: "It turns out that my father knows it, and even you know it, but I... only I was kept in the dark."

Seeing Lin Sishen's expression changed, Shen Qingwan hurriedly took a step forward and put his hand on her shoulder: "Shen'er."

Lin Sishen pushed Shen Qingwan's hand away without hesitation, and asked sharply: "Since you said that you want to keep me from reconciling with me, what else does he want to do? Do you want to kill them all?"

What Shen Qingwan was most afraid of was Lin Sishen's resentment towards the emperor. She raised her hand to clasp Lin Sishen's wrist, and said in a deep voice, "Shen'er, calm down."

It was fine that Lin Sishen didn't know before, but now she knows the truth from Shen Qingwan, and all her pain and humiliation in the past have found an outlet, and she even wished to rush to the emperor and ask him why he did this.

"How do you make me calm down? My Lin family has never owed him anything. Why would he..."

Lin Sishen was indeed a little too angry, so that she lost her mind and couldn't calm down to think. She clenched Shen Qingwan's wrist with her backhand, with such strength that she seemed to break her wrist.

"Shen'er, I know you are restless now, but you should calm down."

Shen Qingwan's face turned pale, and she raised her hand to touch Lin Sishen's shoulder without hesitation. Lin Sishen's expression froze, and she fell straight backwards as if losing strength. Fortunately, Shen Qingwan took a step forward and hugged her by the waist.

Lin Sishen has lost control, she is now weak and cannot withstand too much emotional fluctuations, so Shen Qingwan tapped her acupuncture points, temporarily immobilizing her, so that she can calm down.

Shen Qingwan hugged Lin Sishen, sent her to a wing room, and carefully placed her on the bed.

Although Lin Sishen couldn't move, she couldn't control the tears in her eyes. After knowing the anger and resignation of this matter, she felt even more wronged now.

Shen Qingwan sat on the side of the bed, looked at Lin Sishen with pity and distress, raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips, and said softly: "You know, you have done a good job these years."

Lin Sishen's red eyes were filled with tears, and she stared fixedly at Shen Qingwan, as if she didn't understand why she said that.

Shen Qingwan gently stroked her face, and said with a complicated expression: "In order to conceal your identity, you deliberately pretended to be an idle dude, which really made him let go of his guard. He is not afraid of the general's achievements, he It is because he is afraid that what happened back then will be exposed and ruin his reputation as a virtuous monarch."

"After you and I got married, you made great contributions in the First Battle of Anqing, which showed your general talent. The more foresight and wisdom you have, the more he is afraid that what happened back then will be revealed. In fact, he knows in his heart that General Lin is an insider. , It’s just that General Lin pretended to be confused, so he turned a blind eye. But you are different, compared with General Lin, you know how to restrain your edge, and you are more forbearing.”

Shen Qingwan's words made Lin Sishen understand that if she had always been that idler with nothing to do, the emperor would not want to deal with her at all.

But after the first battle in Anqing, the emperor saw that she had been hiding her clumsiness for so many years, and he felt a little suspicious of her. He suspected that General Lin had told Lin Sishen what happened back then, and was afraid that Lin Sishen would find out the truth Come.

So he always wanted to attack Lin Sishen, but he seemed to have some agreement with Shen Qingwan, so he didn't act for a long time.

Lin Sishen didn't know what agreement Shen Qingwan had with the emperor, nor did she know what means Shen Qingwan used to keep her, but she already knew that Shen Qingwan must have paid the price for it.

And this price, Shen Qingwan is still hiding it from her.

In a daze, Lin Sishen suddenly smelled a faint fragrance. She didn't know whether it was too much grief or the smell was weird, but she felt a little sleepy in a daze.

Under Shen Qingwan's gaze, everything in front of Lin Sishen's eyes seemed to become blurred, and her head became heavier and heavier. Just like that, she slowly fell into a coma.

Seeing that Lin Sishen closed her eyes and her breathing gradually stabilized, Shen Qingwan let out a long sigh of relief. Instead of leaving, she sat beside Lin Sishen with frowns, she was thinking about something, her expression was rather complicated.

Looking at Lin Sishen's face, she couldn't help stretching out her hand to stroke it gently, and murmured in a low voice: "Maybe, we shouldn't tolerate it anymore."
