After hearing Liu Ce's guess, the second prince seemed to be puzzled, he frowned and thought for a while, and then asked, "What do you mean, sir?"

Liu Ce stroked his neat half-length beard, and pondered, "According to the people's guess, maybe Sun Wenqian was indeed killed by Lin Sishen, but after Sun Wenqian's body was put into the coffin, someone with a heart stole it and changed it for the purpose of taking advantage of it." Let His Royal Highness show his flaws."

"Sir, what he said is indeed reasonable. If this is a trap set by the fourth brother, it makes sense."

The second prince narrowed his eyes and nodded thoughtfully, but soon he snorted coldly, glanced at Liu Ce with some dissatisfaction, and said quietly: "But after Sun Wenqian entered the coffin, Mr. did not send anyone Go check it out, Wan'er was the first to notice such an important matter, and now the master will be an afterthought."

Liu Ce's pupils trembled when he heard the words, he hurriedly brushed his sleeves and knelt down, pleading guilty: "This time, the grassroots made a mistake, which gave the villain an opportunity. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

The second prince looked down at Liu Ce, his eyes were dim and unclear. He seemed to be making a decision in the battle between heaven and man, and he couldn't make a decision for a while. After several changes in his expression, he finally returned to firmness.

Liu Ce could almost guess what the second prince had decided. His face turned pale, and he urged urgently, "Your Highness must not do it. The reason why the secret planners are pressing every step of the way is to force His Highness to take action. Once His Highness does what they want, he will only make mistakes again and again and be led by their noses."

The second prince looked at Liu Ce coldly, and his tone was calm and unmoved, but it seemed to have a hint of irony: "Don't you think, sir, that this king has been led by the nose far enough in these years?"

Liu Ce was taken aback when he heard the words, he naturally understood what the second prince was talking about, that's why he showed bitterness, and sighed: "Since Your Highness has endured for many years, why worry about this moment?"

The second prince lowered his head wearily, and a faint ray of light gradually lit up in his eyes hidden in the shadows. He raised his hand to support his forehead, and suddenly murmured in a low voice: "Sir, you know, this king still remembers the time when I When the king was still at the knee of the mother and concubine, the father hugged the king and said that the king is the one who resembles him the most among all the emperor's heirs."

When the second prince said these words again, his tone seemed to be full of satisfaction and showing off, so Liu Ce didn't dare to interrupt, and listened respectfully with his head down.

After a brief moment of pondering, the second prince slightly closed his eyes, and continued with a smile on his lips: "Although the elder brother and the second elder brother are both descended from the empress and are of the orthodox direct lineage, the elder brother was born weak and sick, and died before he was ten years old. Thinking aggressive and perverted, only caring for pleasure, it is really an embarrassing task. The father often scolded the second brother for being ignorant and incompetent, but on the contrary, he had a good eye for this king and regarded him very highly. At that time, not only this king, but even the civil and military officials in the court The ministers all thought that the position of the crown prince in the future must belong to this king, and they are courteous to me in every possible way in private."

Speaking of this, the smile on the corners of the second prince's lips disappeared instantly, and the most beautiful days in his memory came to an abrupt end, and his calm gaze was eroded by resentment bit by bit: "So when the father decreed that the second brother is the On the day of the crown prince, the humiliation this king suffered was no less than being stripped of his clothes and naked in front of others. Even today, this king still remembers the eyes of his second brother and those courtiers looking at him, as if they were mocking a drowning dog."

The second prince's voice became trembling and hoarse. He clenched his fists tightly, looked at Liu Ce with scarlet eyes, and said viciously: "It is because he fooled this king that this king ordered Sun Wenqian to be in Longhua. You secretly hid soldiers, so that one day, you can take back the things that should belong to this king with your own hands."

"This king has never thought of treason. What this king wants is to be crowned prince in a legitimate way, so this king has been waiting. But after finally overthrowing a former prince, another Lingnan king came. He The reason why I deliberately suppressed this king was to support my fourth younger brother, so that my fourth brother could stand against this king in court, so as to consolidate his throne. In his heart, there was no father-son relationship at all. The prince is just a chess piece that he can use."

Liu Ce knelt on the ground and listened to the second prince's angry roar, he didn't dare to speak out at all, but in his heart he was deeply moved, the second prince was forced to lose his footing, if not, how could he be so defenseless today , expressing all the thoughts in his heart.

The second prince never felt that he was wrong. In his heart, it seemed that the whole world owed him. It was the former prince who robbed him of his crown prince position. It was the fourth prince who overreached himself and wanted to compete with him. he.

He is like a bottomless pit that cannot be filled with desires, and only by obtaining the supreme power can he be slightly satisfied.

After some venting, the second prince finally calmed down, he stood up slowly, looked at Liu Ce coldly and said, "So sir, do you understand, this king doesn't want to be led by the nose anymore, Lin Sishen can't, Shen Xin You can’t ask, not even your father. From today on, this king won’t bear it any longer.”

What else could Liu Ce say, even if he knew it might be a trap, he could only jump into it under the coercion of the Second Prince.He knew that he couldn't persuade the second prince anymore, the person in front of him was completely crazy about power, and he was so obsessed with it that he couldn't cure it.

"Caomin...Caomin understands."

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

Since the beginning of summer, the weather in the capital city has become hotter and hotter. The sun hanging in the sky is like a ball of fire, scorching the whole sky and earth with steam.Even Xia Chan, who was chattering on the tree, seemed to have become weaker.

Pedestrians and vendors in the market hid under the shade of the eaves and trees to escape the heat, shaking cattail fans feebly hoping for a cool breeze to wash away their laziness.

Lin Sishen was also exhausted from the sun, and after being driven away from the palace by Shen Qingwan, she walked back to the general's palace slowly.As soon as he entered the door, he was thinking of going back to the bamboo courtyard to ask Mo Zhu to fetch some ice cubes to dispel the heat, when he was caught by the lively Liu Qingyun.

She had just stepped on the threshold when Liu Qingyun came out from behind the gate of the mansion, not like a middle-aged woman, but like a young girl in full bloom, wrapping her shoulders around Lin Sishen Because he was half a head shorter than Lin Sishen, he bent Lin Sishen down.

Lin Sishen reluctantly turned his head from Liu Qingyun's arms, and stared at her in bewilderment: "Mom... what are you doing?"

"Your old lady has something important to discuss with you, come with my old lady."

Liu Qingyun squinted her eyes and looked her up and down a few times, then said a word angrily, dragged her into the mansion with a sullen face.

"Mother, if you have something to say, talk about it, this...how decent is this."

Lin Sishen was forced to bend over, and was staggeringly dragged away by Liu Qingyun, begging for mercy in a low voice. In addition, she was still wearing an official uniform, which made her look even more embarrassed.When the maids and servants who happened to pass by saw this, they turned their heads as if they hadn't seen it, but as soon as they turned around, they couldn't help laughing.

How could Liu Qingyun care about these things, as if Lin Sishen had run away, she held Lin Sishen hostage and dragged her to the bamboo courtyard.Seeing this battle, Mo Zhu, who was drying herbs in the bamboo courtyard, also greeted him tactfully and continued to be busy with the work at hand.

After pushing Lin Sishen into the door, Liu Qingyun closed the door, and before Lin Sishen muttered to adjust his collar and folded his arms with a serious expression, he asked, "Stinky boy, tell me the truth, where are you fooling around these days?" gone?"

Lin Sishen blinked, and said with an innocent face: "Go up and down, go to the Ministry of War to review official documents, children do these things every day."

Liu Qingyun was annoyed and funny when she heard the words, she squinted at Lin Sishen, and snorted coldly: "You didn't say a word of truth, you said you were busy with official documents during the day, and you didn't see anyone at night, you still want to hide it from me ?”

Anyway, he didn't intend to hide it, Lin Sishen shrugged, and said calmly: "Where the child can go, mother can guess."

Liu Qingyun was stunned, a little annoyed but didn't know how to teach Lin Sishen a lesson, she could only reprimand in desperation: "You are not ashamed, a woman runs to other people's houses day and night, sneaking into other people's beds... "

Lin Sishen secretly laughed, and said with an aggrieved face: "That child also wants to let someone get under the bed of the child, but if he doesn't come, the child will have to go."

Liu Qingyun choked, and stomped her feet angrily: "You are ashamed to say such shameless words, you are a woman..."

Ever since Liu Qingyun acquiesced in the relationship between Lin Sishen and Shen Qingwan, Lin Sishen has become more confident, and before Liu Qingyun finished speaking, she stepped forward to hold Liu Qingyun's hand with a playful smile and said, "Yes, but the boy is better than you." Other women don’t know how promising they are, others are going out to marry, and their children are going to marry at home, and they can also bring a granddaughter back to their mother by the way.”

Liu Qingyun shook her hand away with a look of disgust: "You...Even if I can't tell you, I'm too lazy to tell you these things."

Seeing that Liu Qingyun was in a bad mood, Lin Sishen didn't want to tease her anymore, coughed lightly and asked seriously: "Mother, do you have something serious to tell me?"

Finally got to the point, Liu Qingyun let out a long breath, frowned and said worriedly: "It's all right if you say you run out, your elder brother runs out every day now, and I don't know what he does when he goes out, so ask him Not to mention. And your father, since he drank a night of stuffy wine that day, he has been moaning and sighing all day long, and he has been indifferent to me a lot. You think your father is bewitched by something. Over the years, he has treated me I obeyed what I said, why did I suddenly change my temper now, and just ignore me."

After Liu Qingyun said this, Lin Sishen finally remembered that General Lin knew her identity, but she didn't seem to have mentioned it to Liu Qingyun.But since Liu Qingyun asked, she could just explain it together.
