The fourth prince's eyes were especially hot when he spoke, as if he had seen the day when he came to rule the world, so intoxicated.But when he came back to his senses, he only met Shen Qingwan's calm and unwavering eyes.

Different from the enthusiasm of the fourth prince, Shen Qingwan's expression was as cold as ever, as if he was unmoved by what he said about dividing the world equally, and just looked at him without saying a word.

Shen Qingwan's calmness was like pouring cold water on the fourth prince face to face, thinking about it, Shen Qingwan was not a person greedy for power, and he was doomed to use power to lure him to no avail.

In these years of getting along with Shen Qingwan, he has never seen that Shen Qingwan would care about anything, except for two people, one is Ninth Prince, and the other is Lin Sishen.Only the two of them can make Shen Qingwan show the joy and anger of ordinary people.

It was also because he moved Lin Sishen that Shen Qingwan came to him today.

So the fourth prince changed his words, and he looked at Shen Qingwan earnestly: "Wan'er, I know you may not want these things, but as long as I can become emperor, I can give you whatever you want." After all, you and I have feelings for each other, and I will definitely not go back on my word, as for the second brother... that is not sure."

Shen Qingwan narrowed her eyes, and hooked her lips with interest: "Oh? How do you say that?"

The fourth prince nodded, frowned and said solemnly; "Second brother, you and I both know very well, he is just a small-minded villain with a hidden knife in his smile, but whoever offends him, how many people will end well. Shen'er He also offended him before, the reason why he didn't attack Shen'er was because of your protection, but once he becomes emperor, he will hold the power of life and death, and according to his temperament, if he fails to do so, he will be settled later."

The smile on Shen Qingwan's lips disappeared instantly when she heard the words, and she asked sharply: "You said that the second brother would settle accounts with Shen'er after Qiuhou, what about you? You clearly promised me before that you would never do anything to Shen'er, but now you But in order to deal with Sun Wenqian, you informed General Lin of Shen'er's identity, so as to force him to deal with Sun Wenqian for you."

The fourth prince was stunned, and he didn't feel wronged at all: "If Shen'er hadn't planned to persuade General Lin first, how could I have made such a bad plan? Letting General Lin come forward to denounce Sun Wenqian is just an expedient measure, and it will not endanger the general's mansion. What's more, General Lin will know Shen'er's identity sooner or later, even if it's not me, sooner or later she will confess to General Lin."

Shen Qingwan smiled coldly: "So, I want to thank you for Shen'er instead?"

The fourth prince waved his hand and said anxiously: "Wan'er, I didn't intend to deal with Shen'er, if I really wanted to harm her, then General Lin is not the only one who knows this secret."

Shen Qingwan stood up with a flick of her sleeves, and looked down at the fourth prince: "What you want is nothing more than the secret that Sun Wenqian said, but you don't have to spend so much trouble."

The fourth prince couldn't hide the joy on his face when he heard the words, he stood up and stared at Shen Qingwan eagerly: "Wan'er, since you said that, don't tell me...you already know the secret of the second brother?"

Shen Qingwan guessed right, the reason why the fourth prince was so eager to attack Sun Wenqian was to dig out the second prince's handle from him.

When there was a drought in Longyou before, Sun Wenqian embezzled a large amount of relief food, which attracted the attention of the Fourth Prince.Originally, the fourth prince just wanted to send someone to Longyou to find out the evidence of Sun Wenqian's corruption and bribery, so that he could be impeached in front of the emperor, so as to suppress the power of the second prince.

But he never thought that for a little Sun Wenqian, the second prince spent a lot of energy, not only trying to protect Sun Wenqian in front of the emperor, but also secretly bribed the imperial envoy so that he could not investigate the case in depth.

The more the second prince tried to cover it up, the more he seemed to want to cover it up, which made the fourth prince even more suspicious of what big secret Sun Wenqian was hiding.Therefore, he spared no effort to send several waves of people to sneak into Longyou, get close to Sun Wenqian, intending to start with him and find out the secret that the second prince wanted to hide.

Lin Sishen found Longling by chance, but the fourth prince was not so lucky. He secretly sent so many people to Longling, but he didn't find any clues. All the people he sent were without merit. And back.The fourth prince once thought that his suspicion was wrong.

The reason why the fourth prince strongly recommended Lin Sishen to go to Longyou was because Lin Sishen was in front of him and the second prince, making people wonder which side she was on, and maybe the second prince would be less guarded against her.Second, because Lin Sishen was standing behind Shen Qingwan, once something happened to her, Shen Qingwan would definitely not stand by and watch.

As long as Shen Qingwan went to Longyou, she would definitely notice the abnormality. With her ingenuity, it would not be difficult to find out the secret of Longyou.

Everything was as expected by the fourth prince. Lin Sishen and Shen Qingwan did work together to find out the existence of Longling, but it was a pity that after returning from Longyou, Shen Qingwan seemed to fall for the second prince.There was also Lin Sishen, who was still as good as ever, not only didn't tell him all about the investigation in Longyou, but even let Sun Wenqian go.

Therefore, the fourth prince knew well that it might be difficult to learn the secret of Longyou from the two of them. As a last resort, he wanted to start with Sun Wenqian.

It just so happened that the natural disaster in Longyou caused complaints from the people, and many disaster victims flooded into the surrounding counties to loot and make trouble, which made the county officials miserable.

The fourth prince secretly instigated them to go up to the emperor to impeach Sun Wenqian and ignore him, and then he personally went to the emperor with those memorials. On the surface, he was in the way of the second prince's face and didn't know how to deal with it, so he came to ask the emperor for advice, but in private Intentionally or unintentionally belittling Sun Wenqian in front of the emperor.

After reading the memorial, the emperor was dissatisfied with Sun Wenqian, and because of the instigation of the four princes, he ordered Sun Wenqian to be transferred to the capital, cut his real power, and left him in the cold in the capital.

In this way, the fourth prince's scheme has succeeded. As long as he uncovers Chu Sima's old case and imprisons Sun Wenqian for interrogation at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, then he can send someone to torture him to extract a confession from Sun Wenqian's mouth. .

The plan was carried out step by step. In order to prevent the second prince from being alerted, he only thought of asking General Lin to come forward.However, Lin Sishen got in the way and let Nanxiangqin persuade General Lin not to report Sun Wenqian in the court, which led to the failure of the fourth prince's plan.

The fourth prince was already dissatisfied with Lin Sishen and Shen Qingwan, but now Lin Sishen ruined his affairs again, he felt that he should teach Lin Sishen a lesson, and he could also give Shen Qingwan a blow and remind her that he had Lin Sishen's handle. what happened today.

The fourth prince's tricks are exhausted, but he just wants to get rid of the second prince. If he doesn't have to bother and work hard, he can learn from Shen Qingwan, and he is naturally happy to see this.

Seeing the ecstatic face of the fourth prince, Shen Qingwan smiled faintly, turned around and paced the room, and said in a deep thought: "I can tell you the secrets that the second prince and Sun Wenqian hid in Longyou, and we can exchange them with you. You must promise me one thing."

The fourth prince hardly hesitated, and agreed wholeheartedly: "Okay, I promise you."

Shen Qingwan paused, turned her back to the Fourth Prince and said leisurely: "Brother Fourth, I haven't said what it is yet, why did you agree so readily?"

The fourth prince looked at Shen Qingwan's back, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared in an instant, he said with a loud smile: "Wan'er, in fact, the fourth brother knows what you want in your heart, you just want me not to deal with the general House, so as to keep your sweetheart. In the past, I always felt that your thoughts were difficult to guess, but now I feel that I have seen through your thoughts. "

Shen Qingwan turned around lightly, her gaze fell on the fourth prince's face coldly: "Before I tell you, I want to ask you one more thing."

The fourth prince stood up, cupped his hands slowly and said with a smile: "Wan'er, it's okay to ask."

Shen Qingwan's expression remained unchanged, she opened her lips and asked softly: "At the beginning I asked you how you knew Shen'er's identity, and you said you found out by accident in the palace, but now you tell me honestly, how did you know about it."

The Fourth Prince was not at all surprised that Shen Qingwan would ask such a question. He lowered his eyes and smiled, his eyes fell on the window not far away, his expression seemed to have become a little complicated, and he sighed lightly without answering the question: "Those things are too long ago, and I can't remember many details."

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

Everyone in the palace knows that everyone knows that the emperor favors General Lin of General Weiyuan's mansion the most. Ever since General Lin's twins died in battle, he has become more pampered and doted on General Lin, even with General Lin's only surviving son, Lin Sishen. The emperor also liked it very much. He even made an exception to let General Lin bring Lin Sishen to the palace to play around when he even talked about political affairs with General Lin.

When General Lin and the emperor were discussing political affairs in the imperial study, Lin Sishen, who was too bored, would not wait quietly, and would always run around the palace alone. Dare to make a sound to stop her and let her mess around.

The few young princes in the palace always like to play cuju and dish in the back garden, every time Lin Sishen runs to the back garden with ease to play with them.

Although Lin Sishen's status was lower than theirs and he was two years younger, but he was eloquent, quick-witted and lively, and could always get along well with them, and after a long time, he even called the princes brothers in private.

Whenever their laughter spread throughout the imperial garden, there was always a lonely figure watching from a distance, that was the fourth prince who was least loved by the emperor.

The mother of the fourth prince was a court lady. The emperor had a romantic affair with her all night after being drunk, and only then did the fourth prince come into being. She died of illness a few years after giving birth to the fourth prince, and he was thrown by the emperor to the childless Concubine Li. Raised below the knee.

Concubine Li has the most bitter temper. She was neglected by the emperor because she didn't give birth to a son and a half. At the beginning, she was kind to the fourth prince and served her with a good temper.

But after a long time, she found that the emperor didn't care about the fourth prince at all, and she couldn't count on the fourth prince at all, so she also changed her temper, and became more bitter and mean to the fourth prince, often using sarcasm and oppression.

His mother was born in a lowly background and was not favored by the emperor, coupled with her withdrawn and reticent temperament, the fourth prince was not as good at flattering words as the prince, nor was he like the second prince who talked about flirting at a young age Suave.

The fourth prince is like a different kind in the palace, not to mention being bullied by other brothers and sisters, even the court ladies and eunuchs dare to talk and laugh behind him, which makes him become more withdrawn and gloomy.

Every time Lin Sishen came to the Imperial Garden to play with the other princes, the fourth prince would watch from the sidelines. He was attracted by the laughter, but felt that their laughter and liveliness were out of tune with him.

Tired from playing with the princes, Lin Sishen would get away and run to the gazebo not far away to lie down, put his rosy face on the stone table, squint his eyes and rest comfortably.

At this time, the fourth prince would quietly walk into the gazebo, hold a book and sit in front of Lin Sishen, taking the opportunity to secretly stare into Lin Sishen's eyes.

When the fourth prince gets along with people, he loves to look into that person's eyes, because people's eyes are the hardest to lie.Just like those eunuchs and maids saluting to him, even with respectful smiles on their faces, their eyes could reveal unconcealed disdain and sarcasm.

But Lin Sishen's eyes were different, they were always so clean and clear, she would not respect the fourth prince because he was an unfavored prince, nor would she be scared away by his withdrawn and indifference.

She would only look up at the fourth prince, then smiled and rolled her eyes, and naturally began to joke about the book he was reading.

Every time the fourth prince spends time with Lin Sishen, it is very short, sometimes without even saying a word, Lin Sishen is taken away by General Lin who hastily rushed over. He grimaced and waved to say see you next time.

Before he knew it, what the fourth prince looked forward to most every day was that General Lin would bring Lin Sishen to the palace. Once he heard that Lin Sishen was coming, he would rush all the way to the Royal Garden with his book in his arms.

Different from the fourth prince, in Lin Sishen's view, the fourth prince was not his friend, but someone he caught a glimpse of when he was bored, he neither hated nor liked him, and he just said a few words casually.

One day, all the princes in the palace were invited to the queen's palace to eat the sweet grapes newly offered by the envoys from the Western Regions, but the fourth prince did not go. He sat alone in the gazebo of the imperial garden in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

Lin Sishen happened to come to the imperial garden, did not see the princes playing around, but found the fourth prince who was in a daze in the gazebo, she walked over with nothing to do, shaking her head, not knowing what she was looking at.

The fourth prince stared down at the book spread out on the table, and said expressionlessly: "There is no need to look for it, the princes have all gone to Fengqi Palace. I heard that the envoys from the Western Regions brought in grapes, the best batch. The emperor sent people to give it to the empress, and the empress invited them all to taste it."

Lin Sishen let out a disappointment when he heard the words, and then raised his head and asked him curiously: "They have all gone, so why don't you go? Aren't you also a prince?"

"I?"

The fourth prince curled his lips into a sad smile, and laughed at himself, "No one is here to invite me, so what am I going to do?"

Lin Sishen rolled his eyes: "Your skin is too thin, you won't get any good with such a temper."

The fourth prince looked at her, frowned and asked: "How can you insist on asking for something that others don't give? If you ask for it and don't give it, wouldn't it be humiliating?"

Lin Sishen curled his lips, sat on the stone bench shaking his short legs, and said, "Who asked you to ask for it? Now all the princes have been invited to Fengqi Palace, and you are the only one who didn't go. As long as you find ways to meet the emperor's uncle , holding the book and pretending to be pitiful, you don’t need to ask for it, someone will bring it to you.”

The fourth prince was startled when he heard the words: "You...you said it so simply."

Lin Sishen jumped down from the stone bench, and waved his hands mysteriously: "It's easy to say, but it's also easy to do, why don't you try it with me?"

The fourth prince closed the book, shook his head and said helplessly, "I just want to go with you, I don't have time to mess around with you."

Lin Sishen smashed his mouth, his black eyes seemed to flash a layer of light: "The envoys from the Western Regions sent the best batch of grapes, it must be very sweet, I want to taste it too."

The fourth prince hesitated for a long time, but in the end he agreed to give it a try under Lin Sishen's insistence. Under Lin Sishen's instigation, he brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, sat in the gazebo and began to copy Buddhist scriptures.

Lin Sishen hopped away, and after a while, I don't know what method she used to lure General Lin and the emperor to the back garden. The emperor saw the fourth prince who was writing in the gazebo, curiously. Come forward to ask.

According to Lin Sishen's instruction, the fourth prince replied respectfully: "In two months' time, there will be Grandma's Ceremony, and my ministers are copying Buddhist scriptures. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake, so I want to copy it a few more times earlier."

The emperor nodded when he heard the words, and looked at him with unprecedented relief. He raised his hand and touched the fourth prince's head, and praised: "He is a filial child."

The fourth prince lowered his head, and his body suddenly felt like something was taking root and sprouting in his heart bit by bit.

Lin Sishen asked the eunuch at the side where the princes who usually played in the imperial garden had gone, and the eunuch answered truthfully, saying that they were invited to the Queen's Palace to offer grapes.

Hearing what the eunuch said, the emperor frowned suddenly, and asked the fourth prince why he didn't go.

The fourth prince's expression changed when he heard the words, and he said anxiously that he was busy copying Buddhist scriptures and forgot about this matter, so it might be too late if he goes again.This is also what Lin Sishen told him, absolutely cannot say that the empress did not invite, once the empress finds out, she will inevitably have a bad face towards him in the future.

The emperor stretched his brows, praised the fourth prince again, and then asked the eunuch to bring two plates of grapes to the queen to give the fourth prince a taste, and reward him.

After the emperor and General Lin left, Lin Sishen and the fourth prince were in the gazebo, eating grapes one by one.

The fourth prince stared at the crystal-clear grapes in his hand, and said in a daze: "Unexpectedly, Father really sent the grapes."

Lin Sishen puffed his cheeks, and said contentedly: "I'm right, things don't fall into your hands for no reason, you have to do everything possible to fight for them, unless you really don't want them."

The fourth prince smiled when he heard the words, and sighed helplessly, with a dim light shining in his eyes: "It's not that I don't want it, it's just... no one will help me like you today. I alone, yes Can't fight."

Lin Sishen shrugged, swallowed the grapes in his mouth, and said casually: "Others will not help you for no reason, but everyone has difficulties. If you want to find a good helper, you just need to find the right opportunity to help you." When people show favors, there will be people willing to help you."

The fourth prince looked at the white and clean young man who was a head shorter than himself and looked like a porcelain doll with great interest, and said softly: "You are younger than me, but you know a lot."

Lin Sishen coughed lightly, and explained triumphantly, "That's because I read all the military books in my father's study."

The fourth prince smiled and looked at her without saying a word, then suddenly stretched out his hand to touch Lin Sishen's face, and said seriously: "Lin Sishen, someone said that you really look like a little girl."

Lin Sishen's expression suddenly became a little weird when he heard the words, he suddenly stretched out his hand and patted the fourth prince's hand away, stared at him closely with a frown, as if he was a little wary: "What are you doing."

The fourth prince was taken aback by Lin Sishen's reaction, he stared at Lin Sishen's eyes suspiciously, and said in a low voice: "I'm just talking, why...you have such a big reaction?"

Lin Sishen jumped down from the stone bench, snorted softly, and muttered with erratic eyes, "I just don't like people touching me, okay, okay, I'm going back, goodbye."

After finishing speaking, Lin Sishen didn't even look at the fourth prince, and ran away as if to escape. After all, she was still young, no matter how smart and clever she was, she still showed timidity in front of the fourth prince.

The fourth prince stared at Lin Sishen's running away figure, thinking about something thoughtfully, his dim eyes suddenly lit up bit by bit.

The Fourth Prince didn't know why he suddenly had such absurd thoughts, but at the moment Lin Sishen denied it, he clearly saw a trace of panic and uneasiness in Lin Sishen's eyes, as if he had been exposed as guilty.

A seed of doubt was planted in his heart, so when he saw Lin Sishen again, his eyes were more scrutinized and explored, as if he wanted to verify his guess bit by bit, but Lin Sishen didn't seem to notice it at all.

This year, Lin Sishen was only eight years old, while the fourth prince was fourteen years old.

Not long after that, the fourth prince injured the crown prince for no reason, and was expelled from the palace by the emperor with his leg broken. He hastily named Lingnan King and drove him to the barren Lingnan.

As for the inside story, Lin Sishen still knew nothing about it.

She didn't know that when the fourth prince accidentally heard that the prince and Qingyao county were trying to misbehave with Shen Qingwan, the fourth prince, who didn't want to interfere, suddenly remembered what she had said before turning around and leaving. The words turned back again.

"Others will not help you for no reason, but everyone has difficulties. If you want to find a good helper, you just need to find the right opportunity to do favors to others, and someone will be willing to help you."

Lying dying on the carriage to Lingnan, the fourth prince looked at Shen Qingwan who came to see him off, and murmured in a daze, "Wan'er...I want to come back, will you help me?"

"meeting."

A cool little hand was gently covering his palm, and in a daze, he saw Shen Qingwan's immature but already beautiful face, and saw her nodding calmly, her tone was cold but Determined: "Fourth brother, I will help you."

The fourth prince forced a smile, then closed his eyes contentedly.

What Lin Sishen said is correct, things will not fall into his hands for no reason, and he must try his best to fight for them, unless he really doesn't want them.But it's not that he doesn't want it, he wants it very much, and what he wants is much more than what they think.

Lin Sishen planted that seed back then, but now...she is reaping the fruit herself.
