There was a strong wind and heavy rain in the room, and the room was pitch black. Lin Sishen was lying on the bed sweating profusely. She seemed to be having some kind of nightmare, her brows were furrowed, her face was pale, and she let out some hasty and vague murmurs from time to time.

It wasn't until she woke up from the dream and sat up suddenly that she realized that the acupuncture point pressed by Shen Qingwan had been unlocked at some point.She panted anxiously, wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, raised her eyes and looked around eagerly.

The candlesticks in the house were not lit, only a faint light came in from the lantern shaking in the wind and rain on the porch outside.Except for the sound of wind and rain, there was no sound at all around, and the furnishings were unfamiliar to the eye.

Shen Qingwan, who was originally by Lin Sishen's side, also disappeared.

When she first learned the truth about what happened back then, Lin Sishen was indeed a little anxious and confused, but after falling asleep, she had regained her composure, and she wanted to get up and ask Shen Qingwan to find out what happened.

Lin Sishen threw off the quilt and hurriedly jumped out of bed. As soon as she opened the door, the cold wind mingled with rainwater poured over her head. She shrank her neck and turned back.

When she got up, she saw a fur coat on the wooden table next to the bed. She took it out and put it on to keep out the cold, and it happened to fit well, obviously someone prepared it for her specially.

Putting on a warm fur coat, Lin Sishen hurriedly stepped out of the room, followed the route he had come to, and walked quickly to the lobby of Yixian's main building.

At that time, the Yixian Building with carved beams and painted buildings was as cold and desolate as if there was no one there. The raging wind passed through the stone gaps on the rockery, and it roared like a wild animal.

In addition, those lanterns hanging under the corridor, constantly shaking under the cold wind and rain, the faint light and shadow flickering, pulling and deforming Lin Sishen's shadow on the ground.

On the winding and narrow corridor, Lin Sishen was the only one walking. Such a strange atmosphere made Lin Sishen, who had never believed in ghosts and gods, feel flustered.She quickened her pace, and after passing through a wooden corridor on the lake, she raised her eyes by chance, and caught a glimpse of a light floating not far away, approaching herself unsteadily.

Lin Sishen didn't panic either, he stood there and waited for a while, and when the light got closer, he saw clearly that it was a maid holding a lantern.She breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried up to meet him.

After the two of them bumped into each other head-on, the maid bowed slightly, neither humble nor overbearing: "Lord Lin, the Princess and Young Master Bai have been waiting in the lobby for a long time, and the servant came here to lead the way."

Lin Sishen looked the maid up and down. This maid was young and unattractive. She was dressed in the usual clothes of a servant. Although she looked respectful, she had a strangely calm expression.

When he came to Yixian Tower, Lin Sishen also caught a glimpse of this maid from a distance.After withdrawing her gaze, she raised her sleeve and waved lightly, signaling, "Lead the way."

Lin Sishen was very confused, and didn't pay much attention to the maid leading the way in front of him, but he occasionally glanced out of the corner of his eye, and quickly noticed that the maid was walking like a civet cat, without making any sound.

It seems that this ordinary maid is still a skilled practitioner.

Lin Sishen calmed down, and asked casually: "I heard that your master has a good personal relationship with the princess?"

The maid stopped when she heard the words, turned her head and bowed her body, and replied respectfully: "Reporting to Master Lin, the slaves don't know how to criticize the friendship between the master and the princess, but only know that the master has ordered that if the princess comes here, it will be like the master in person. Not the slightest bit of negligence."

Lin Sishen nodded and didn't say anything else, but raised his chin slightly, motioning for her to continue leading the way.

Lin Sishen, the owner of Yixian Tower, has met before, he is an arty businessman, if you say that Shen Qingwan has a very good personal relationship with him, Lin Sishen is 1 people who don't believe it, Shen Qingwan will not make friends with such mercenary businessmen.

But since Shen Qingwan was able to come to Yixianlou in private, she dared to talk to her about that incident here, which shows that she is very familiar with Yixianlou.

From this point of view, behind the master of Yixian Tower, there may be another master, probably Shen Qingwan, even if it is not her, she should be someone she trusts very much.

Just thinking like this, I soon arrived at the lobby of the main building.

Before approaching, Lin Sishen smelled a strong smell of wine, and heard the faint voice of Baiting Mountain in the lobby, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath to stabilize her mind.

"Report to the princess, Master Lin will bring it."

After the maid reported, Lin Sishen took a step forward blankly, and looked up across the threshold.

In the huge hall, Shen Qingwan was sitting on the floor facing Baitingshan, wine was warming on the stove beside him, and a copper hot pot was placed on the wooden table in the middle, and the soup in the pot was boiled. It was steaming hot, and there were a lot of chopped raw meat and some vegetables and fruits on both sides.

Seeing Lin Sishen entering, Shen Qingwan pushed back the maid, and when she raised her eyes to look at Lin Sishen, there was still a hint of worry in her expression.She glanced lightly, and saw that Lin Sishen's expression was calm, so she smiled and waved lightly, beckoning her to come forward.

Bai Tingshan raised his hand to support his forehead, leaning towards Shen Qingwan, his posture was quite lazy and relaxed. When he saw Lin Sishen appearing, he frowned calmly, and then laughed loudly: "It's a coincidence that Mr. Lin came here." , if you come later, I'm afraid there will be no good luck."

Perhaps Lin Sishen was in a bad mood today, and seeing Baiting Mountain being in a state of affairs, she clearly wished that she would not come, but she still pretended to be like this, she felt a little disgusted in her heart when she saw it.

She walked over quickly without saying a word, walked past Shen Qingwan, and with a flick of her sleeves, she sat down beside the two of them at the seat facing the door, her tone seemed to have a thorn in it, and said sarcastically: "I did come by coincidence, but I'm afraid it will spoil the interest of the Princess and Young Master Bai."

Bai Tingshan was dissatisfied when he saw that she was being rude and eccentric, but he glanced at Shen Qingwan out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only laugh it off: "Mr. Lin is really joking."

From the moment Lin Sishen took his seat, Shen Qingwan's gaze has been on her, always calm and gentle, even if Lin Sishen glanced like a hedgehog, she was not displeased in the slightest when he spoke with unappealing sarcasm.

She opened her lips calmly and said softly: "I have traveled a lot today, so you must be hungry too."

Lin Sishen raised his eyes to look at Shen Qingwan, and after a long time bowed his head in response: "Yes."

Originally, Lin Sishen wanted to ask Shen Qingwan a lot, but with Bai Tingshan around, she couldn't ask. The doubts and unwillingness in her heart tormented her, making her a little restless.

She is not reconciled for her father, but also for her elder brother, and she is not reconciled for those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country and died innocently without knowing the truth until their death.In the midst of unwillingness, she even gave birth to a trace of resentment.

The source of all this was actually the emperor's own selfishness.

As for the truth, both her father and Shen Qingwan knew about it, but she knew nothing about it.Not to mention Shen Qingwan, even her father never intended to reveal the matter to her at all, and taught her to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

If Shen Qingwan hadn't told her about this, I'm afraid she would still be kept in the dark like a fool.

Although Lin Sishen pretended to be calm and sat at the table, her heart was already overwhelmed, and she couldn't listen to what Shen Qingwan and Bai Tingshan were saying in her ears.

It wasn't until Bai Tingshan poured a glass of wine for her that she came back to her senses a little bit, picked up the glass and wanted to drink it down.

Shen Qingwan seemed to be aware of her intentions, she held the cup tightly with her hand, Shen Qingwan pressed her hand lightly on the back of her hand, frowned slightly and said softly: "Your body is not healed yet, don't drink too much to hurt your body. "

Lin Sishen was startled, and under Shen Qingwan's gaze, he slowly let go of his hand.

Bai Tingshan at the side heard the words, raised his hand and patted his forehead, helplessly said: "I have heard that Mr. Lin is weak and often needs to take medicine stones to maintain his health, but this time I have not considered properly, so I shouldn't have brought wine. "

These words sounded normal at first, but Lin Sishen's ears were a little more insincere. She was already quite dissatisfied with Bai Tingshan, and now she was upset, her complexion immediately darkened when she heard the words.

She turned her head to stare at Baiting Mountain, her eyes turned cold: "You shouldn't have brought the wine, Mr. Bai really thinks so?"

Bai Tingshan didn't seem to have expected Lin Sishen's reaction to be so abnormal, he seemed a little stunned, but before he could open his mouth to smooth things over, Lin Sishen pulled out the hand that was being pressed by Shen Qingwan, and sarcastically said: "I'm afraid what Master Bai is thinking , it’s not that I shouldn’t bring the wine, but that I shouldn’t come.”

Bai Tingshan glanced at Shen Qingwan: "It seems that Mr. Lin misunderstood what I mean, and I have no other intentions, but..."

The dissatisfaction in his heart seemed to have found an outlet, Lin Sishen sneered a few times without raising his head: "I'm afraid I've hit what Young Master Bai is thinking?"

After finishing speaking, Lin Sishen looked down at the wine cup in front of him again, and sarcastically said: "Beautiful wine, I, a useless person who still needs medicine and stones for health, really disturbed Mr. Bai and the beautiful woman alone."

Bai Tingshan was startled when he heard the words, he stood up, leaned over to Lin Sishen slowly and cupped his hands, and said, "Young Master Lin, I'm afraid you really misunderstood. If I accidentally offend Young Master Lin with your words, I hope you will forgive him."

Lin Sishen didn't like this, she didn't let Baiting Mountain step down at all, instead she stood up and confronted him tit for tat: "It is said that Mr. Bai is an open-minded and unrestrained talent, but why don't you dare to be open-minded in front of me?" Admit it, you have admired the princess for a long time, and you get annoyed when you see me, why bother to be polite to me."

Bai Tingshan had already backed down, it could be seen that Lin Sishen was aggressive, he was no longer polite, stood up neither humble nor overbearing, looked straight into Lin Sishen's gaze, and said slowly: "Even if I offend Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin doesn't have to involve the princess. Besides , I am afraid that this matter has nothing to do with Young Master Lin, whether I feel admiration for the princess."

Lin Sishen pursed his lips and smiled when he heard the words: "It has nothing to do with me?"

Bai Tingshan's expression was calm, he glanced at Lin Sishen faintly, and seemed to be a little disdainful: "Your Majesty has decreed a reconciliation, Mr. Lin and the Princess have nothing to do with each other, so this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin dare not admit that he is right Princess Lin's intentions, and in what capacity is Mr. Lin interrogating my intentions?"

The author has something to say: when she was 18 years old, grandma fell down, and since then she can only lie on the bed, unable to take care of herself.Two weeks ago, she accidentally fell off the bed. At first, she thought it was just a skin injury, but she didn't feel any pain, so her family didn't pay attention.

Unexpectedly, it became more and more serious. I was sent to the hospital for an X-ray examination on the second day after my birthday, only to find out that my hip bone was fractured. Because I was too old and my organs were failing, the doctor dared not treat me, and sent me back without even prescribing the medicine. She cried several times every day because of the unbearable pain.

Grandma is 84 years old this year. She was such a strong person when she was young. When my mother was young, my grandma’s family was very poor. Grandpa thought it was useless for girls to go to school. Until my aunt dropped out of junior high school, she secretly wiped her tears.

She once said that she was illiterate because she was illiterate, and that's why she lived so hard, and her children must go to school.

But now she can only lie on the bed, unable to see or hear clearly, screaming and crying like a child, and I can't do anything, not even make her feel better.

I am afraid of losing her, but I am even more afraid that she will continue to be tortured by illness like this. If possible, I would rather let me bear all the pain on her body, plus double it.

When I was a child, I always thought that I would give her 20 years of life so that she could live a long life, but now I don't want to.
