As the night darkened, the bright moonlight shone in the Liuguang Pavilion.The whirling tree shadows dance lightly in the gentle breeze, as if performing a silent shadow puppet show on the bluestone road.

There was a faint candlelight in the wing room. Shen Qingwan sat on the cloud couch and looked down at Lin Sishen lying on her lap. There was a gentle gleam in her clear eyes. She stared at Lin Sishen without saying a word. His gaze passed over her fair skin, delicate and clean edges and corners.

She slowly raised her hand, and her cold fingertips gently landed on Lin Sishen's face, touching her inch by inch, from her eyebrows to the tip of her tall nose, and then landed on her pale and delicate lips , caressing gently.

Lin Sishen has calmed down a lot. She closed her eyes slightly, wandering in Shen Qingwan's gentle comfort, as if she had left all the troubles behind her, and just wanted to enjoy the tranquility and warmth at this moment.

When Shen Qingwan's fingertips brushed against Lin Sishen's chin, she couldn't help but raise her head due to the slight itchiness. She opened her eyes to look at Shen Qingwan, raised her hand and grabbed her fingertips, In his hand, he sneered softly like a baby: "Princess, it's a little itchy~"

Shen Qingwan curled her lips into a doting smile, and the fingertips held tightly by Lin Sishen continued to naughtily scratched her palm lightly, causing Lin Sishen to mutter "—zwnj;" before she opened her lips softly Asked: "Does your hand still hurt?"

Hearing this, Lin Sishen turned his head to look at his arm, shook his head, curled his lips and said, "The princess's pear blossom ointment no longer hurts, but the pain on the hand has disappeared, but the anger in the heart has not disappeared at all."

After finishing speaking, Lin Sishen paused, &—zwnj;Recalling the frivolous behavior of the fourth prince to her today, she subconsciously frowned, and said with some disgust: "I always feel that he seems a little... weird today. "

Shen Qingwan tilted her head to look at the expression on her face, her eyes narrowed, and she asked, "Weird? Why did you say that?"

Lin Sishen sat up slowly, shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "In addition to telling my father my secret, he also behaved very frivolously towards me today, and I don't know what he wants to do."

Shen Qingwan's expression turned cold when she heard the words, she frowned, looked at Lin Sishen and asked seriously: "Shen'er, do you mean that the Fourth Emperor has treated you lightly?"

Lin Sishen nodded: "Fortunately, I avoided it, but he was too unscrupulous in treating me like this in the General's Mansion, and I don't know what kind of support he has."

Shen Qingwan lowered his eyes and sneered... zwnj;, his eyes flickered with a cold light: "It seems that he is sure that the position of the East Palace belongs to him, and he still has the guts to covet you."

Lin Sishen took a deep breath—zwnj; exhaled, and muttered suspiciously: "Although I did see him often when I entered the palace when I was young, I still don't know how I exposed my identity in front of him."

Shen Qingwan raised her eyes to look at Lin Sishen, and her eyes became softer instantly: "After I fell into the water and was rescued by you, I accidentally found out that you are a woman. But he seems to know your identity earlier than me, maybe You inadvertently exposed your flaws and were seen by him."

"It's too late to find out why."

Lin Sishen sighed and rubbed her temples with some headaches, but she quickly regained her composure, squinted her eyes suddenly, looked at Shen Qingwan with a half-smile, and asked playfully, "By chance? Did the princess discover it by accident?" My identity, or... have intentions?"

Shen Qingwan gave her an angry look when she heard the words: "You and I were still young at that time, what intentions could I have?"

After finishing speaking, she pursed her lips and smiled again, raised her hand to gently "scratch" Lin Sishen's chin, as if teasing a puppy, and jokingly said: "If I didn't find out that you are a woman, would you How could I be so curious about you?"

Hearing what she said, Lin Sishen couldn't help but be a little curious: "What does the princess mean, if he didn't know that I was a woman, he wouldn't pay attention to me, and there is absolutely no chance that there is such a fate between you and me?"

Shen Qingwan shook her head, Lin Sishen asked such absurd question, but she still thought about it seriously for a moment, and then said seriously: "Shen'er, I am not interested in you because you are a woman, the world is outstanding There are countless men and women, but I am only attracted to you."

While Shen Qingwan was speaking, Lin Sishen stared at her without blinking, her eyes seemed to be twinkling with starlight. After Shen Qingwan finished speaking, she suddenly rubbed her eyes and lowered her head, softly said: "The princess knows, It is an honor for all eternity for Sishen to be favored by the princess in this life."

"Fool."

Hearing the words, Shen Qingwan raised her hand and gently touched her head, sighed helplessly and said, "I wanted to stay by your side all the time... tonight, but I still have something to explain,"—zwnj ; I'm afraid it's time to leave."

"The county chief is leaving?"

Lin Sishen raised his head, looked at Shen Qingwan reluctantly, his expression suddenly darkened, and said casually: "Did the princess come to look for me today because she knew that the fourth prince came to the general's mansion?"

Shen Qingwan shook her head, and said softly with a bit of resentment: "I saw you in the palace today because you looked unwell, and I was a little worried, so I came to see you. I thought that after the city-zwnj;farewell, you would I came to the palace to look for me, but I didn't see you after waiting for two days. It can be seen from this that you have other things in your heart, so you can't tolerate me."

Lin Sishen's eyes widened instantly when she heard the words, and she hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't want to see the princess, it's just that there are too many things to deal with in the past two days, and I don't have time to spare..."

Shen Qingwan smiled softly, looked at Lin Sishen with a smile that was not a smile, and sighed pretending to be helpless: "It's true, Miss Chu lives in the General's Mansion. Zhou Xuan, I really don't have time to come see me."

&—zwnj;Speaking of this matter, Lin Sishen's expression suddenly became strange, she turned her head and explained with flickering eyes: "I didn't want Miss Chu to stay in the general's mansion, it was my father...he wanted to keep Miss Chu in the mansion Come on, lest Sun Wenqian secretly send someone to take her away."

Shen Qingwan noticed Lin Sishen's expression was different, the corners of her lips smiled, and she lowered her eyes and said leisurely: "Then Miss Chu is a smart woman, she is willing to convince General Lin for you for the sake of the overall situation."

Lin Sishen nodded, and sighed sincerely: "She is indeed intelligent and knowledgeable. In order not to implicate the General's House, she temporarily gave up this great opportunity for revenge."

When Shen Qingwan heard this, her brows were "zwnj; raised, and there seemed to be a "zwnj; displeasure flashing across her face. She said with great interest, "Oh? It seems that you have a high opinion of Miss Chu."

Lin Sishen's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly cried out for grievances: "You are wronged, just now...didn't the princess praise her for being smart just now, I just echoed it."

Shen Qingwan's long and narrow eyes were slightly closed, she stared at Lin Sishen's face, and calmly "zwnj; flicked her sleeves and said: "" an intelligent woman, especially one who can endure humiliation and bear the burden of humiliation. A woman who has been dormant for many years will not be a simple person no matter what."

Lin Sishen was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked softly, "The princess means that Miss Chu is not simple?"

Shen Qingwan stood up slowly, put her hands behind her back and said leisurely, "I don't have much contact with her, if you want to ask what kind of person she is, you should also ask yourself."

Lin Sishen frowned, thinking of Nanxiangqin's intentional flattery to her grandmother General Lin and Liu Qingyun these days, she was already a little suspicious, but she became even more suspicious when she heard Shen Qingwan say this.

She hesitated and thought for a moment, then looked at Shen Qingwan's back and asked softly: "Princess, Miss Chu..."

But before Lin Sishen finished speaking, Shen Qingwan interrupted her words lightly, and warned softly: "I don't know what her purpose is, but you must not blind your eyes because of the pity and pity you had when... Someone took advantage of the loophole."

Lin Sishen nodded thoughtfully when she heard the words: "I really should send someone to keep an eye on Miss Chu. For some reason, I also feel that her behavior is a bit strange recently."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Qingwan turned around, frowning strangely, glanced at her, and asked suddenly, "How long has it been since you visited Ju'an?"

"Jian?"

Lin Sishen was stunned when he heard the words, scratched his head and asked blankly: "Didn't Ju An be sent by the princess to rest in Xichen Temple outside the city a few months ago?"

Ju An was an orphan picked up by Lin Sishen from Longyou, she had been staying in the General's Mansion and was raised by the old lady.But later, after Lin Sishen reconciled with Shen Qingwan, she was brought back to the palace by Shen Qingwan.

Not long after, Shen Qingwan discovered that Ju An seemed to be suffering from a stubborn illness, "whenever there was noise around her, she would have a headache and cry continuously."Because there are many servants and maidservants in the palace, and there are bustling streets outside the palace, it is not easy to rest in the palace.Shen Qingwan then ordered someone to send Ju'an to Xichen Temple, where he was carefully taken care of by servants in the back mountain outside the temple.

Shen Qingwan sent a letter to Lin Sishen about this matter, and after learning about it, Lin Sishen didn't ask too much. Shen Qingwan sent someone to take care of Ju'an, so she could rest assured.

Shen Qingwan's eyebrows were raised—zwnj;, and she asked jokingly: "It's rare that you still remember that she was sent to Xichen Temple by me?"

Lin Sishen's heart was shaken, and she couldn't refute Shen Qingwan's banter. Since she sent Ju An away, she had never visited Ju An once. She lowered her head and said, "This... isn't it that the princess is taking care of you? , I don't need to worry."

Shen Qingwan shook her head lightly, and rarely reprimanded in a soft voice with some displeasure: "At the beginning you were determined to save Ju An, but now you have adopted her as a righteous daughter and you are ignoring her, Shen'er, you are like this! It’s a little too much.”

Lin Sishen showed shame, she nodded and bowed her head to admit her mistake: "I... I was negligent."

Seeing this, Shen Qingwan didn't criticize her any more: "Whenever I go out of the city, I will stop by to visit her, but if you want to see her, you don't have to go out of the city. She has almost recuperated, and the king will go tomorrow Xichen Temple took her back to the palace, and wanted to see her at the palace."

Lin Sishen laughed at himself guiltily: "I haven't seen you for so long, Ju An should have forgotten me, it seems that I need to buy some small bowls and go to the palace to make her happy, lest she think I'm a bad person."

Shen Qingwan closed her head slightly, and after a moment of silence, she raised her eyes to look at the moonlight outside the window, sighed and said softly: "It's getting late, I should go if I think about it."

Lin Sishen walked up to Shen Qingwan with some reluctance, looked at her expression, raised his hand and grabbed her sleeve, and asked weakly: "I will go to the palace tomorrow to see Ju An, Princess... Princess If you have nothing else to do, you shouldn’t be leaving the palace tomorrow, right?”

Shen Qingwan glanced at her, although she pretended to be "a bit sullen" on her face, the corners of her lips were slightly raised"—zwnj; and said: "You are here, why are you asking so many questions, what are you going to do?" See Ju An, or do you want to see me?"

Lin Sishen blinked understandingly, raised her finger and waved in front of Shen Qingwan's eyes, and said seriously: "Of course, both are indispensable."

She said she wanted to leave, but before she left, Shen Qingwan was still worried about Lin Sishen, she looked at Lin Sishen worriedly, and said softly: "Shen'er, even if General Lin knows your identity, you don't have to worry. Although General Lin is impatient, he is a reasonable person, you are his flesh and blood anyway, he will not blame you."

The smile on Lin Sishen's face instantly disappeared when she heard the words, her eyes drooped and she smiled bitterly: "But father, he has devoted so much effort to me these years, he has already regarded me as the heir to the general's mansion, &—zwnj;Once he finds out that I am a woman, he may feel that all his painstaking efforts over the years have been wasted."

Hearing what Lin Sishen said—zwnj;, Shen Qingwan knew that her knot was still unresolved, so she didn't leave in a hurry, but asked softly: "Does General Lin think so, or do you think General Lin would think so?" think?"

Lin Sishen shook his head and said in a low voice, "I just..."

Shen Qingwan raised her hand and caressed her face, and looked at her fixedly: "Fool, as long as General Lin thinks about it for a while, he will understand your difficulties. You sacrificed so much for the General's Mansion, how could he I have the heart to criticize you, I think... the reason why he doesn't want to see you for the time being is because he doesn't know how to face you, and because he feels ashamed, he avoids you."

Lin Sishen's nose was a little sore when she heard the words, she clenched the corner of Shen Qingwan's clothes tightly, feeling inexplicably wronged in her heart: "It would be great if the princess could always stay by my side."

A soft light flashed across Shen Qingwan's eyes, and she fixedly looked at Lin Sishen, then suddenly raised her lips to "smile", and said a word softly from her mouth: "Okay."

"Ok?"

Lin Sishen seemed a little unable to believe her ears. She looked at Shen Qingwan with a puzzled expression, but she saw Shen Qingwan lowering her eyes and smiling, raising her hand to lightly scrape on the bridge of her straight and delicate nose, She laughed and said, "You don't want me to be by your side, then I won't leave tonight."

Lin Sishen couldn't restrain a smile on her face when she heard the words, but she was already satisfied with Shen Qingwan's words like this, so she waved her hand and said with a long sigh of relief: "Jun Lord, you don’t have to worry about me, if you have something urgent to do, go ahead, don’t delay because of me.”

Shen Qingwan listened to her "say, shallow" smiled and shook her head, took Lin Sishen's hand, turned around and walked towards the cloud couch, and asked softly: "What is more important than yours? critical?"

Lin Sishen followed behind Shen Qingwan step by step, his eyes fell on the overlapping hands of the two, and the corners of his lips were raised high.

-------------------------------------

Shen Qingwan slept with Lin Sishen on the cloud couch until midnight. After Lin Sishen fell asleep, she quietly opened her eyes and slowly got up, turning her head to look at Lin Sishen who was sleeping soundly with her arms in his arms.

Compared with the usual meticulousness, Lin Sishen with black hair was like a real delicate woman.Her eyelashes are thick and curly, trembling slightly with the sound of her gentle breathing, like a waving small cattail fan, extremely cute.

Shen Qingwan stared at her for a long time without knowing it, until she had to leave, she finally gently pulled out the arm held by Lin Sishen, and before Lin Sishen could react, she quickly stuffed the pillow next to "zwnj; Lin Sishen replaced it in his hands.

Lin Sishen didn't notice why Shen Qingwan's arms became thicker at all, but subconsciously tightened the soft pillow with both hands, and rubbed her face against it, maybe the pillow still smelled of Shen Qingwan, she smashed it He sighed and continued to sleep with peace of mind.

Shen Qingwan curled her lips into a silent smile, tucked the corner of the quilt for Lin Sishen, leaned over and kissed her side face like a dragonfly, and then quietly got up and left.

After leaving the General's Mansion, Shen Qingwan did not go back to the Prince's Mansion, but went straight to the Fourth Prince's mansion, transformed into an elusive white shadow like a ghost, avoided all eyes and ears, and sneaked into it.

During those years in Lingnan, the fourth prince was always vigilant to himself, even in words and deeds, he was extremely restrained, for fear that he would be caught by someone if he showed a flaw, and there would be no possibility of returning to the capital.

Therefore, he developed a suspicious temperament, and even hid "zwnj; a dagger for self-defense under the pillow, and would wake him up if there was any" slight disturbance.

After returning to the capital, he actually relaxed a lot. The emperor's respect had already made him feel elated. He forgot the days in Lingnan, and was only absorbed in the dream of holding power and ruling the world while drunk.

Even vigilance is much slower than in Lingnan.

When he was drowsy in his sleep, he vaguely felt a—zwnj; gaze, which was coldly looking at his face for a long time.After a long while, he finally realized that something was wrong and woke up. Before opening his eyes, he reached out and touched the dagger hidden under the pillow, then suddenly turned over, sat up and opened his eyes to look into the room.

Sure enough, in the slightly dim room, facing the table not far from the bed, there seemed to be a white shadow sitting in it.

The fourth prince pulled out his dagger, and shouted loudly in shock: "Who is where?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard outside the door immediately lit the torch, and hurriedly knocked on the side: "Your Highness, what happened?"

With the flickering fire outside the door, the fourth prince finally saw the figure's face clearly.

&—zwnj;A cold and beautiful woman dressed in white is sitting at the table, playing with her slender fingertips like green onion-zwnj;an empty teacup,&—zwnj; The cold eyes were closing and looking at him quietly.

Numerous guards arrived outside the door, the hurried footsteps mixed with the harsh sound of drawing swords out of their sheaths, and the gradually lit torches seemed to illuminate the entire palace as bright as day, and they surrounded the entire room impenetrably.

"Wan'er?"

The fourth prince stared at Shi Shiran sitting at the table in shock, "zwnj; Shen Qingwan, with a calm face, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, he frowned and suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: "You What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Turning the teacup on her fingertips, Shen Qingwan raised her eyes and glanced at him "zwnj;eyes, curled her lips lightly" and said with a smile: "I already have enough time for a cup of tea when I come here."

The guards outside the door were still knocking on the door to ask questions. The loud noise and dazzling light made people extremely uncomfortable.

The veins on the fourth prince's forehead twitched, and a faint light flashed in his eyes. He stared at Shen Qingwan expressionlessly for a while, then got up, put on his coat, walked to the door, and said : "I'm fine, it's just a nightmare, you guys go away."

The guards outside the door hesitated a little when they heard the words. They were afraid that the fourth prince was being held hostage by an assassin. They didn't respectfully retreat until the fourth prince scolded him angrily.

But in the blink of an eye, the palace quickly returned to calm.

The fourth prince went to the wooden table and lit the candlestick, took the candlestick to the table and put it down, then sat down opposite Shen Qingwan with a flick of his sleeves, stared at her with squinted eyes, and asked with a cold smile: "What do you want to do here?" What?"

The gloomy candlelight flickered, making Shen Qingwan's cold face even colder. She closed her eyes and put down the teacup she was playing with, and said leisurely, "If it's in Lingnan, I'—zwnj; Noticed."

The fourth prince snorted coldly when he heard the words, took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said calmly: "This is different from the past, this is not Lingnan, this is the capital. Some people dare to attack a lonely prince in Lingnan, but no one Dare to attack a prince who is in the limelight in the capital."

"Is it?"

Shen Qingwan hooked her lips and asked back..., then raised her eyes to look at the fourth prince, and said in a low voice like a joke: "But just now, I have hundreds of ways to do that for a cup of tea." , attack you, the prince who is in the limelight. Not only that, but I can leave safely."

Hearing this, the fourth prince's gaze "flickered," he put his hand on his right leg, and his tone seemed to soften"—"Wan'er, don't forget, if I hadn't saved you back then, you would've died a long time ago." I was insulted by the old prince, and my leg was crippled for you."

Shen Qingwan glanced at the fourth prince's right leg, unmoved at all: "It is to repay the kindness of the year that I will help you. Now you are able to compete with the second prince. The kindness between you and me has long been over. ?”

The fourth prince lowered his eyes and smiled sarcasticly when he heard the words: "You came today because of Lin Sishen, no wonder, there is someone or something that deserves you to come see me."

After the words fell, Shen Qingwan did not refute, but looked at him calmly.

The fourth prince shook his head lightly, looked straight into Shen Qingwan's eyes, and said in a "zwnj;word"-zwnj; sentence: "Wan'er, I didn't want to touch her at all, but you betrayed me first, if you didn't You surrendered to your second brother and advised him to suppress me, how could I make such a bad plan?"

Shen Qingwan's expression didn't move, and she just asked leisurely - "Is that so?"

The fourth prince stared at Shen Qingwan with fiery eyes, and generously flicked his sleeves and said, "I know what the second brother promised you to let the Ninth Emperor Uncle go back to Qingzhou? Baoweiyuan General's mansion is rich and prosperous? Do you want it?" What he can do is nothing more than these. I can do what he can do. Wan’er, it’s not too late now. You help me ascend to the throne of God. People can share the world."

Shen Qingwan's expression seemed to be so &—zwnj; in a daze when she heard the words, she closed her eyes and murmured: "Sharing the world?"

The fourth prince seemed to be aware of the turmoil in Shen Qingwan's mind, and immediately continued to confuse: "Yes, we can also conquer cities and conquer lands to expand territories. Whether it is Laos or Chen, we can conquer and include it in the territory of Jin, and create a Ten thousand nations came to rule the unprecedentedly powerful Jin State. When that time comes, the merits of you and me are enough to be famous in history forever."
