Every day at noon, Lin Juan would take a nap on time for an hour, and usually she needed someone to accompany her so that she could fall asleep peacefully.When recuperating in Xichen Temple, she was accompanied by the wet nurse and the maid who took care of her. These days Lin Sishen spends more time with her, so she likes to let Lin Sishen sleep with her.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the wool cushion on the bed has been replaced with a mat, and the hanging white gauze covers the bed.

Lin Sishen lay sprawled on the bed and fell asleep, the little Lin Ju'an sleeping posture was exactly the same as Lin Sishen's, lying on Lin Sishen's body with his hands and feet spread out, his round face that could be broken by blows was red, and he was sleeping with his mouth slightly open. , There is still a wisp of crystal clear saliva on the chin.

Shen Qingwan lay sideways beside them, with jade hands resting on her forehead, staring quietly at the two of them, her clear eyes were slightly closed, and there seemed to be a layer of gentle and tranquil light in her eyes, she still held a round fan in her hand, Wu Yitai gently fanned the two sleeping soundly.

Just when Shen Qingwan felt a faint sleepiness, the door was knocked twice suddenly, Shen Qingwan frowned slightly, subconsciously observing the expressions of the two, seeing that they were not woken up, Only then did he put down the round fan and slowly got up, and walked to the door quietly.

As soon as the door was opened, the green shade guarding the door bowed and saluted. She was about to explain the reason for disturbing Shen Qingwan, but Shen Qingwan frowned slightly, and raised her fingertips with a displeased expression. Sticking it to his lips, signaling her to keep quiet.

Lu Yin took a few steps back knowingly, and waited respectfully by the side.

And Shen Qingwan turned around and quietly closed the door, nodded indifferently and flicked her sleeves, and walked into the courtyard, and the green shade followed closely behind.

After walking into the courtyard, Shen Qingwan asked lightly, "What's the matter?"

Lu Yin took out a letter from her sleeve, leaned over and presented it with both respectful hands: "Princess, the fourth prince secretly sent a letter, please have a look at it."

Shen Qingwan nodded, took the letter from her hand and opened it expressionlessly, and as the letter paper was laid out, Shen Xinxun's handwriting appeared vividly in front of her eyes.

Brother Wei has been searching hard for many days, and finally the flowers bloom and bear fruit to glimpse the clues of Longling. I hope to invite Wan'er to come to the mansion tonight to talk to Brother Wei.

After a few words, Shen Qingwan glanced casually, and a faint smile gradually appeared on his face. He folded the letter paper casually and handed it to the green shade behind him.

Lu Yin took the letter paper, took out the fire folder with ease, and set the letter paper on fire.

Seeing that the letter paper was burnt into a ball of black ashes and scattered in the air, Lu Yin asked hesitantly, "Princess, may I need a maidservant to go with you tonight."

"No need."

Without turning her head, Shen Qingwan raised her hand and waved it lightly, closed her eyes and said thoughtfully: "Lvyin, tell people to prepare the carriage and set off immediately, I'm going to see the second emperor brother."

"Yes, servant girl will do it now."

After Lu Yin took the order, she turned and left in a hurry.

Shen Qingwan stayed in the courtyard for a while, turned around and glanced at the closed door not far away, after a little thought, walked slowly, opened the door and entered.

When Lin Sishen was soundly asleep, a burst of fragrant hot air suddenly blew into her ears. She shrank her neck, raised her hand impatiently and scratched her itchy ears, muttered a few times unconsciously, and turned her head to continue sleeping.

But after a while, the hot air came again, piercing into her ears, she was so harassed that she couldn't sleep anymore, opened her eyes with a frown, muttered a few more times, and turned her head sleepily He looked at the instigator beside him.

In a daze, Shen Qingwan's face that was close at hand came into her eyes, and she was looking at her with half-closed eyes, with a hint of cunning that had faded away.

Lin Sishen sighed feebly, raised his eyes to look at Lin Juan who was lying on his chest, and said dissatisfiedly with the corners of his lips curled up: "Princess, I sleep soundly, what are you doing to disturb my sleep?"

Shen Qingwan didn't answer after hearing the words, but just looked down at her bright red round earlobes, raised her fingers with great interest and lightly teased them, Lin Sishen narrowed her eyes with some enjoyment, and rubbed against her palms.

But after a while, Shen Qingwan said softly: "Today, you should go back earlier."

"Ok?"

Lin Sishen was startled when he heard the words, and looked at Shen Qingwan with puzzled frowns, curled his lips a little aggrievedly and asked, "The princess wants to drive me away, it's only been a few days, is it possible that the princess is tired of me?"

Shen Qingwan raised her eyebrows, pinched her earballs and tugged, angrily said: "What nonsense are you talking about, how can I get tired of you."

Lin Sishen was happy and happy in the palace these days, and she really experienced what it means to be reluctant to leave. She asked reluctantly: "Then why did the princess send me away?"

Shen Qingwan shook her head, and said seriously: "I'm going to go out to see the second emperor brother in a while."

Hearing Shen Qingwan's words, Lin Sishen's expression turned serious, and she frowned and asked, "Did the Fourth Prince make any movement?"

"Ah."

Shen Qingwan responded: "I just received a secret letter from brother Sihuang. He has already followed the vines to find Longling and invited me to his mansion tonight."

Lin Sishen parted his lips slightly, sighed silently, smiled wryly and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't expect it to be so soon."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she looked up at Shen Qingwan as if she had thought of something, and said with emotion: "But it's true, there is a princess helping secretly, it would be strange if he couldn't find out."

Shen Qingwan smiled lightly, but soon frowned worriedly and said: "If the second emperor summons you tonight, you only need to explain according to the words we discussed before, but you must remember that you must do it when you go." Well prepared, Miss Li Luo's injury has healed up..."

"No,"

But Lin Sishen shook her head and interrupted Shen Qingwan. She raised her hand and stroked her smooth chin, thinking: "If I take someone with me, once the second prince notices, he will definitely notice, so I just You can pretend you don’t know anything and go alone.”

Shen Qingwan was silent for a while after hearing the words, slowly sat up and lowered her eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Although so, I am afraid that the second emperor brother will attack you in a fit of anger. If you go alone, I'm afraid..."

Shen Qingwan didn't continue talking, but Lin Sishen understood what Shen Qingwan wanted to say, she shrugged nonchalantly, and smiled calmly: "If it wasn't for this risk, how could the Second Prince trust me? If you want to force him to act , I must not show any flaws."

Shen Qingwan and Lin Sishen had discussed this matter before, and both of them were prepared for it, but even so, thinking that Lin Sishen would be in danger, even Shen Qingwan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Seeing Shen Qingwan's expression was tight and silent, Lin Sishen quietly reached out and tugged at her sleeve, and when Shen Qingwan turned her head to look at it, she smiled brightly and comforted her softly: "Princess, we Didn't you discuss this matter a long time ago? What's more, the second prince has not been driven to the end of the road, as long as he still has a sliver of reason, he will not easily do anything to me."

Shen Qingwan looked at her quietly, her eyes flickered, and she closed her eyes and sighed softly: "I used to always feel that people's hearts were unpredictable, as long as I counted all the possibilities and deduced them, I could gain insight into other people's every move .”

Lin Sishen smiled softly when he heard the words: "The reason why the princess is so clever is because he can read people's hearts."

Shen Qingwan looked at the smile on Lin Sishen's face, pursed her thin lips, and frowned, "But now I'm only afraid that if I miscalculate by even one point, even if it's one in ten thousand, it will put you in danger."

Lin Sishen was stunned, and the smile on her lips disappeared. She raised her hand to support Lin Juan in her arms, and asked seriously, "Does the Princess believe me?"

Shen Qingwan nodded and said without thinking, "Of course I believe you."

Lin Sishen smiled faintly, and she stretched out her hand to hold Shen Qingwan's hand: "I was in trouble several times before, but I escaped from death again and again. I don't believe that this is the mercy of heaven, I only believe that things are caused by man."

Shen Qingwan listened carefully, as if she saw the light gradually brightening in Lin Sishen's eyes.

Lin Sishen looked into Shen Qingwan's eyes, as solemn as an oath, and his words were loud and loud: "I am not someone who sits and waits to die, and I don't want to hide behind the princess. I need the princess to protect everything. What I want is to stand shoulder to shoulder with the princess." And stand hand in hand to advance together. So... the princess can let go of his hands and feet, just trust me one more time."

Shen Qingwan was stunned when she heard the words, but after a while, she curled her lips into a smile, held Lin Sishen's hand in her palm, and squeezed her fingertips together tightly with hers.

"it is good."

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

Noisy cicadas are indispensable in hot summer days. The second prince sat beside the wooden table in the study with a blank face, seemingly calm and calm, but the clear and clear tea in his hand could not stop The turmoil.

Liu Ce, who was beside him with his arms down and respectful, drooped his eyelids, as if he was lost in thought.

The second prince looked at the subordinate who was kneeling in front of him, and asked in a very flat tone: "Have you found out the identity of that person?"

The face of the man kneeling on the ground was pale, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "His Royal Highness, that man is very stubborn, no matter how tortured he is, he will not let go."

The second prince sneered abruptly when he heard the words, and praised with a smile instead of anger: "Okay, it's really good."

The man trembled when he heard the words, and his expression became more and more frightened: "Your Highness, please calm down, the humble official...the humble official will torture and interrogate people day and night, within three days...two days, that person will definitely confess the person behind the scenes .”

"Severe torture and interrogation, hehe, since he can investigate so deeply, what's the use of confessing the person behind the scenes."

The second prince put down the teacup heavily, and the tea in the cup splashed out. Liu Ce, who had been hanging his head, raised his eyes when he heard the sound. He glanced at the second prince, then at the shivering man kneeling on the ground, and suddenly smoothed things over: "Okay, you step back for now."

Hearing the words, the man was relieved. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and was about to retreat cautiously, when he accidentally caught a glimpse of the second prince's gaze looking at him from the corner of his eye. The cold and fierce gaze frightened him, and he slammed his knees together. It's so soft that I can't get up.

Frightened, a warm current gushed out from his crotch, and orange water slowly seeped from the hem of his clothes, soaking through the carpet on the floor with gorgeous and complicated patterns, and a stench followed in the study. diffuse.

Seeing this, Liu Ce shook his head lightly, closed his eyes helplessly, and turned his head sideways.

The second prince looked down at the stained carpet, lifted his lips and smiled playfully, he stood up slowly, walked around the man with earthy face and desperate expression, and took down a beautiful long sword hanging on the wall beside him , slowly drew the sword out of its sheath.

The man hardly uttered a scream, but was stabbed through the neck by the second prince's sword from behind and fell to the ground, like a fish thrown ashore, his eyes widened, large streams of blood gushed out of his mouth, and bellows came out of his throat. Like a rough, piercing gasp.

The second prince changed his usual gentleness, like a lunatic, he stabbed the man with all his strength with one sword after another, until the man died of anger, he didn't stop, and still ruthlessly stabbed one hole after another in his body .During the whole process, the second prince didn't make a sound, and in the whole study room, there was only the slight and creepy sound of the sharp sword piercing through the flesh.

The carpet was soaked with blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The second prince didn't stop until he was too tired to lift the sword, and he returned to the wooden desk and sat down panting.

Seeing that he had vented enough, Liu Ce slowly opened the door of the study and gave the guard outside the door a look.

Soon, the servants of the palace rushed to the corpse, wrapped the corpse in a carpet and carried it away, then washed and wiped the blood on the ground, spread the same carpet as before, and lit incense to disperse the smell of blood. Erase all traces.

Everything was silent, as if nothing had happened.

Smelling the familiar sandalwood, the second prince gradually calmed down. He picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, turned his head to look at Liu Ce who was standing with his hands down, and asked, "What is Mr. Liu thinking about?"

Liu Ce bowed and replied, "What Cao Min thinks is exactly what His Highness thinks."

The second prince put down the teacup, and asked blankly: "Really? Then what does Mr. Liu think?"

Liu Ce replied: "Actually, His Royal Highness should have guessed it, that person must have been sent by His Highness the Fourth Prince, and there seems to be no one else besides him."

The second prince lowered his eyes and smiled faintly: "That's right, he is the only one who tries to make an enemy of this king."

Liu Ce stroked his beard thoughtfully, frowned and said, "It's no different that the fourth prince sent him there, but the grass people thought about it, and they don't know who leaked the news, so that the fourth prince is so interested in Longyou. If he didn't get the exact news, how could the fourth prince keep sending people to infiltrate and investigate, going forward and following him as if he were dead."

The second prince took a deep breath, slowly clenched his fists, and said through gritted teeth: "That's right, he must have received the wind in advance, and someone revealed the news to him."

Liu Ce nodded, raised his eyes hesitantly, but didn't say anything.

The second prince glanced at him, and asked in a deep voice: "From Mr. Liu's point of view, who leaked the news?"

Liu Ce pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and then thoughtfully said: "Those people in Longyou are deeply involved in it, they will definitely not betray His Highness, other than that, there are only two people who are suspicious."

The second prince asked: "Which two people?"

Liu Ce raised his fingers unhurriedly: "One is the dead Sun Wenqian..."

The second prince didn't wait for him to continue, and he gritted his teeth and asked bitterly: "The other one is Lin Sishen? Sun Wenqian mentioned that when she was in Longyou, she seemed to have found a clue and kept digging deeper. Could it be true for her? Found it?"

Liu Ce shook his head when he heard the words, and said meaningfully: "No, the other person that Caomin suspects is not Mr. Lin."

The second prince frowned and thought about it, and asked doubtfully: "Then who exactly are you suspecting?"

Liu Ce's eyes flashed, and he said word by word: "Master Qingyang County Shen Qingwan."

The second prince was a little stunned when he heard the words, he was still puzzled and said: "She? But she has never been to Longyou, and this king has never heard of it. She once sent people to set foot in Longyou."

Liu Ce asked seriously: "Your Highness, do you still remember that Sun Wenqian mentioned in his handwriting that when he was chasing and killing Lord Lin, a masked woman in white clothes descended from heaven to save Lord Lin from danger."

The second prince nodded, but still had some doubts: "Sun Wenqian did mention this matter, but Wan'er hadn't left the capital at that time, she was still in the capital, how could she travel thousands of miles overnight to rescue Lin Sishen?"

Liu Ce said leisurely: "Could it be that Your Highness is really sure that Princess Qingyang who stayed in the capital at that time was really Princess Qingyang? I don't know if Your Highness still remembers it, but the grassroots do remember that for a few days, Princess Qingyang called her sick. Stay behind closed doors."

The second prince said thoughtfully: "This king thinks about it carefully, and there is indeed such a thing, but in the past few days, the king visited the palace and saw her through the gauze curtain, and her appearance and voice are no different from hers. .”

However, Liu Ce was sure that it was Shen Qingwan: "Golden cicada escapes its shell and crosses the sea, His Royal Highness has seen the skills of Princess Qingyang before, and besides, it is easy for Princess Qingyang to find someone with similar appearance and voice through the gauze curtain." Hey, the woman in white is most likely the princess of Qingyang County. Once she goes to Longyou, coupled with the clues that Lin Sishen found, she will definitely become suspicious. It would not be surprising if she followed the clues to find Longling .”

The second prince probably believed Liu Ce's words. He slapped the table and got up angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be a countermeasure for her to advise me these days?"

Seeing this, Liu Ce raised his eyebrows, and sighed softly, "Caomin has already reminded Your Highness to be careful with this woman..."

"Okay, it's useless to say these things."

The second prince waved his hand a little irritably, and said with a worried expression: "The most urgent thing is to think of countermeasures first. If Shen Xinxun really knows about the existence of Longling, he will definitely tell Father in secret. Once Father knows..."

Before he could finish speaking, the second prince took a deep breath, lowered his hands in dejection, and said resentfully: "At the beginning, it was because my father favored the former prince that this king had no choice but to make such a bad move. I never thought of the escape route I had left for myself. , but now it has become the king's dead end."

Liu Ce said unhurriedly, "Your Highness, don't be so pessimistic. Since the fourth prince is still sending people to investigate, it means that he has no real evidence, and we still have a way out."

Hearing the words, the second prince raised his eyes and stared at him: "Could it be that Mr. Liu has thought of a countermeasure to make this king retreat?"

Liu Ce nodded and was about to speak when there was a hasty knock on the door.

"His Royal Highness, Princess Qingyang is here to visit and is waiting in the hall."

The second prince took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at Liu Ce, and said with a cold snort, "Since she's here? Should I see you?"

Liu Ce stroked his beard intermittently, nodded seriously and said, "Your Highness naturally wants to see her, not only to see her, but also absolutely not to startle the snake."

The second prince pondered for a moment when he heard the words, then stood up abruptly and flicked his sleeves, with a cold light in his eyes, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, then I will go to see her, I want to see if she is still here What kind of drama are you playing in front of you?"

As before, the second prince came out to meet Shen Qingwan alone, while Liu Ce hid in the dark, observing Shen Qingwan's every move, to see if there would be any clues in her words and deeds.

Shen Qingwan was sitting in the hall, and the second prince came late after a while, with a gentle smile on his face, when he saw Shen Qingwan, he quickly stepped forward, and said softly: "My king is here!" Too late, let Wan'er wait for a long time."

Shen Qingwan stood up slowly and bowed her body. As soon as she raised her eyes, she turned her back on the guest, and asked with a cold expression: "Second Brother, there is no need to go around in circles between you and me, right?"

The second prince was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked with a frown, "Huh? Wan'er is looking for this king today, what is it?"

Shen Qingwan's eyes turned cold: "Did the second brother order Shen'er to kill Sun Wenqian?"

The second prince smiled loudly, admitted it readily, and pretended to be teasing: "It turns out that Wan'er came here for this matter. Yes, this king did ask Mr. Lin to do me a small favor. Now that this king has handed over the matter to Let Master Lin do it, so naturally I didn't want to hide it from Wan'er. Could it be that Wan'er is dissatisfied with this? I came here to ask this king Xingshi for his crimes?"

Shen Qingwan didn't answer when she heard the words, she lowered her eyes and slowly took out a piece of jade pendant of excellent quality from her sleeve, then put it on the wooden case beside her, and opened her lips lightly and asked, "Look, brother two, what is this?" thing."

The second prince raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to pick up the jade pendant on the wooden table and looked at it for a few moments, his expression changed instantly, he held the jade pendant in his palm with his backhand, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did Wan'er get this thing from? "

Shen Qingwan casually hooked her lips into a smile: "It seems that the second brother really confirmed this thing."

The second prince stared at Shen Qingwan in astonishment: "This thing is Sun Wenqian's belongings, presumably it should have been put into the coffin with him, it's really strange, how could it fall into Wan'er's hands?"

Shen Qingwan asked unhurriedly: "After Sun Wenqian's body was put into the coffin, can Second Emperor Brother send someone to verify his body?"

"This..."

After the second prince hesitated for a while, he raised his eyes and quickly glanced at the curtain of the back hall not far away, and replied in a deep voice: "That night, when the head of the Academy of History went to examine Sun Wenqian's body, this king sent someone to accompany him to confirm that Sun Wenqian was dead. , that body is indeed Sun Wenqian's."

"So, when Sun Wenqian was put into the coffin, the Second Emperor Brother didn't send someone to verify his body?"

Shen Qingwan sat on the wooden chair with a calm expression on her face. On the contrary, it was the second prince standing in front of her, holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand, with a suspicious expression on his face, as if their identities had changed.

The second prince also seemed to realize that he was at a disadvantage, he turned around and walked slowly to the main seat to sit down, and asked quietly: "Wan'er brought this thing to look for the king, what exactly do you want to say?"

Shen Qingwan turned her head to look at him, frowned slightly, and said in surprise: "The jade pendant is indeed Sun Wenqian's, but the corpse lying in the coffin is not Sun Wenqian."

The second prince was startled when he heard the words, and suddenly stood up in astonishment: "What did you say?"

The second prince frowned and paced back and forth in the hall, muttering something: "If the corpse in the coffin is not Sun Wenqian, then he was stolen and replaced, so is it possible that he is still alive?"

When he turned his back to Shen Qingwan, the second prince gave Liu Ce a look at Liu Ce who was standing behind the curtain, and Liu Ce understood and stepped back quickly, and went to investigate the matter immediately.

But Liu Ce didn't guess that he just fell into Shen Qingwan's trap.

Shen Qingwan then stood up, looking at the back of the second prince calmly, and said leisurely: "Shen'er used a poisonous bee to assassinate Sun Wenqian, the poisonous bee is very poisonous, if he stings Sun Wenqian, he will definitely die. Shen'er said that she saw Sun Wenqian being stung by a poisonous bee."

The second prince paused when he heard the words, he didn't turn around, but just stroked the jade pendant in his hand, closing his eyes and thinking.

Shen Qingwan flicked his sleeves, and guessed softly: "Since the person lying in the coffin was not Sun Wenqian, the body that the second emperor sent someone to examine that night was naturally not Sun Wenqian. The person who was stung by a poisonous bee, maybe... It's not Sun Wenqian either. Someone must have tampered with it."

The second prince turned his head slightly, glanced at Shen Qingwan out of the corner of his eye, and said coldly: "If you want to do something, it is Lin Sishen who did it."

Shen Qingwan smiled slightly when she heard the words, and asked back: "If Shen'er really did something wrong, why would I bring this thing to see the second emperor brother? What good will it do for Shen'er not to kill Sun Wenqian?"

The second prince's heart was full of ups and downs. What happened in the past few days seemed to force him to die invisibly.He took a deep breath, temporarily calmed down, then turned around and asked, "But besides her, who else can do something?"

Shen Qingwan's black eyebrows frowned slightly, and her expression suddenly became a little cold: "The night that Sun Wenqian was assassinated, who did Second Emperor Brother send to accompany Shen'er?"

The second prince's expression seemed to change slightly when he heard the words, and he said in a deep voice, "This king ordered a counselor to arrange the manpower."
