The county horse is a medicine jar

Go to the general's mansion to propose marriage?

After listening to the Ninth Prince's words, Lin Sishen stayed for a long time before hesitatingly asked the Ninth Prince: "The prince just said that he wants to bring the princess to the general's residence to propose marriage?"

Ninth Prince's expression was a bit strange, his eyes were slightly closed, and he looked at Lin Sishen with a hint of amusement, and he asked in a deep voice, "Why, are you afraid of losing face and unwilling?"

According to the marriage customs of the state of Jin, the family of the man goes to the woman’s home to propose marriage with the dowry and the horoscope. If the horoscope matches and the woman’s family is satisfied, they will leave the horoscope of the man’s birthday and ask the matchmaker to reply to express their acceptance of the marriage. .

It is rare for a woman to come to the man's house to propose marriage. If so, it is usually the woman who invites her son-in-law. This is not a decent thing in Jin.

Presumably the Ninth Prince still remembered Lin Sishen's affair with the maidservant of the general's mansion. He didn't know the inside story, so he came up with such a bad idea to deliberately make things difficult for Lin Sishen.

If Lin Sishen refused to agree to face, he fell into the hands of the Ninth Prince. He could go and sue Shen Qingwan. He said that he had agreed to her marriage with Lin Sishen, but Lin Sishen refused to agree because of face.

If Lin Sishen agreed, it would prove that Shen Qingwan was indeed in her heart, and the Ninth Prince would have nothing to say.

Looking at Lin Sishen, who was hanging his head and seemed to be very entangled, the Ninth Prince was a little complacent.

But he didn't feel complacent for long, when he saw Lin Sishen raised her head, her fair and pretty face blushed, she pulled the hem of her clothes with a twisted posture, and nodded shyly, "Okay."

Seeing Lin Sishen acting coyly like a little daughter-in-law, the Ninth Prince was shocked on the spot, he stared at Lin Sishen in disbelief: "You...why are you blushing?"

What a ghost, even the feminine eunuch in the palace is not as coy as Lin Sishen.

Lin Sishen jumped up, ignoring the Ninth Prince who was staring at him with a shocked face, as if he was afraid that he would go back on his word, and happily said: "The prince will keep his word, I will go back to the general's mansion to meet with you." Parents discuss this matter."

After finishing speaking, she bowed respectfully to the coffin of the princess, and then greeted the Ninth Prince, and ran out happily.

The astonished Ninth Prince stood blankly in front of the coffin, watching Lin Sishen disappear in a flash, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, the Ninth Prince's stiff face finally moved, he turned his head to look at his wife's spiritual seat, and said sadly: "Qing'er, you can see clearly this time, it's not that I'm prejudiced against her. It's what our precious daughter likes."

After Lin Sishen left, he was not in a hurry to go back to the General's Mansion, but ran to find Shen Qingwan excitedly, wanting to tell Shen Qingwan the good news.

It's a pity that she was one step too late, and only saw Ju An and Lan Qing in the courtyard. According to Lan Qing, Shen Qingwan was invited to the mansion by the second prince just before burning incense.

In this way, Lin Sishen could only go back to the General's Mansion first, thinking about asking Liu Qingyun to agree first, and then let Liu Qingyun join forces with him to persuade General Lin. It was only a matter of time before Lin Sishen agreed. This is quite optimistic.

When he returned to the General's Mansion, Lin Sishen found a carriage parked in front of the mansion, recognized at a glance that it was the carriage of the fourth prince, immediately frowned, subconsciously thought that the fourth prince was at the mansion right now, couldn't help it Secretly cursed a few times.

After entering the mansion, Lin Sishen originally thought that he could bypass the hall to avoid bumping into the fourth prince, but when she made a detour, she bumped into a servant of the mansion head-on. The servant told Lin Sishen that General Lin had been looking for her for a long time today, but he did not see her As soon as she found her, he ordered his servants to let her go to the hall as soon as they saw Lin Sishen.

It seemed that he couldn't avoid it, so Lin Sishen had no choice but to turn around and walk back to the hall.

But it was beyond Lin Sishen's expectation, although the fourth prince's carriage was parked at the gate of the mansion, the fourth prince was not in the hall, looking from a distance, only General Lin was in the hall for guests.

He sat in the main seat by himself, motionless, as if he was really waiting for her.

Lin Sishen straightened his clothes calmly, took a deep breath and walked in quickly.

General Lin was in a daze with preoccupation, staring blankly at the ground, even though Lin Sishen had walked up to him, he didn't notice it at all.

Lin Sishen looked at General Lin a few times, guessing something vaguely in her heart, she raised her hand and clenched her fist against her lips and coughed lightly, when General Lin came back to look, she slowly leaned over and said respectfully: "Father, listen People say that you are looking for a baby today."

General Lin looked at Lin Sishen in a daze, and his blank expression instantly became complicated. He changed from his former vigor and vigor, and his whole body seemed to be drained of strength, and he was inexplicably depressed.

"You came."

General Lin raised his hand weakly, lowered his eyes and asked absently, "You didn't go to court today, and I didn't see you after I returned home. Where did you go?"

General Lin looked at General Lin without blinking, and replied truthfully: "The boy went to the palace to meet the princess."

Ever since he knew that Lin Sishen was a woman, General Lin naturally would not doubt their relationship. He nodded and said, "You had a...friendship with the Princess, it's good to see her often."

Lin Sishen felt that General Lin was a bit weird today, so he tentatively asked: "Father is so anxious to find a child, but what is the important thing to explain?"

"It's not a big deal."

General Lin responded without even thinking about it, and frowned again after speaking, stroked his forehead with a headache and said: "But my father does have something to ask you for."

Seeing that General Lin was so restless, Lin Sishen felt more and more uneasy, and she asked seriously, "Father, what are you... have trouble hiding?"

General Lin frowned, as if he had thought of something, he stood up anxiously, paced back and forth restlessly beside Lin Sishen, after hesitating again and again, he finally said: "Shen'er, let Mo Zhu clean up the mess for you later. A piece of clothing, let's go to the fourth prince's residence for a few days."

Lin Sishenwen was startled at first, and then said meaningfully: "When my son returned home, he saw the carriage parked in front of the door and recognized it as the carriage of the fourth prince. My son thought it was the fourth prince who came to the mansion, but he didn't think it was the carriage that came to the house. Pick up the baby."

General Lin turned his back to Lin Sishen, his expression was particularly tired, he explained in a low voice: "You didn't go to court today, so my father used the excuse that you were bedridden with the cold last night as an excuse to evade it for you. But the fourth prince He said that a witch doctor came to his mansion, and he intends to invite you to his mansion to recuperate for a few days, His Majesty also agreed."

Only now did Lin Sishen know about this matter, she shrugged and said with a relaxed face: "So that's it, this matter is easy to handle, my son will thank the fourth prince in person tomorrow for his kindness."

But hearing what Lin Sishen said, General Lin suddenly began to persuade: "Shen'er, the fourth prince just asked you to stay at his residence for a few days, and you happen to be free, why don't you just go there, so as not to disturb the four princes?" Kindness from the prince."

Lin Sishenwen's expression froze, she looked at General Lin's back with some doubts, and asked softly: "Listen to father...Do you want the child to go?"

General Lin closed his eyes with a complicated expression, but remained silent.

A glint of light flashed in Lin Sishen's eyes, and after a little thought, she tentatively asked General Lin: "Did Father meet the Fourth Prince privately today?"

General Lin suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at Lin Sishen with some surprise: "How do you know?"

Sure enough.

Lin Sishen didn't say much, just smiled and said: "It's not hard to guess."

General Lin frowned, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking softly: "Shen'er, have you met your Uncle He?"

Lin Sishen nodded without the slightest hesitation, and immediately admitted: "Yes, I have met Uncle He earlier."

General Lin's expression became more and more complicated, he sighed faintly, and said with a wry smile: "Old He really didn't lie to me, you already knew about it."

After finishing speaking, General Lin asked again: "Since you know, why do you keep hiding it from me?"

Lin Sishen explained seriously: "The boy didn't intend to hide it from his father, but the boy knows the important relationship. The news that Uncle He is still alive, the less people know, the better."

General Lin was not dissatisfied because of this, but showed a bit of approval on the contrary: "You are right, the fewer people who know about it, make an appointment, and you were right to hide it as a father."

Lin Sishen had already guessed the purpose of the fourth prince looking for General Lin today, and she asked, "Father, has Uncle He already fallen into the hands of the fourth prince? The fourth prince also knew about that incident back then? He used Uncle He to threaten him?" Father?"

General Lin was taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't answer Lin Sishen's questioning, instead he burst out laughing abruptly, with both sad and joyful expression.

He was happy that Lin Sishen's intelligence and sensitivity exceeded his expectations, but sad that before he knew it, Lin Sishen had already been involved in this turmoil for the sake of the general's residence.

Laughing and laughing, General Lin's eyes were red again. He looked at Lin Sishen with pity and pity, and even his voice trembled and choked with sobs: "You said why did your mother hide it from you? Status, even if you are a woman, it doesn’t matter, you are also the blood of the father. To have such a sensible and intelligent daughter, it is too late for the father to be happy, so how can you be dissatisfied because you are not a man.”

It was the first time for Lin Sishen to see General Lin so sad, and she felt a little sour for a moment, she stepped forward to comfort General Lin: "Father, you..."

But before he finished speaking, General Lin suddenly leaned over and hugged her cautiously, as if holding a priceless but fragile treasure, his movements were stiff and gentle.

Lin Sishen froze in place. It was the first time that she was hugged by General Lin so affectionately since she was a child. She was stunned for a long time before she finally came to her senses.

After a light hug, General Lin quickly turned his back to Lin Sishen. He was still not used to showing his vulnerable side in front of others.

Lin Sishen looked deeply at General Lin's back, smiled with downcast eyes, and said solemnly: "Father, the child will go to the fourth prince's residence."

Sitting in the carriage arranged by the fourth prince to pick him up, Lin Sishen closed his eyes and rested without moving, with a rather calm expression.On the other hand, Mo Zhu's face was full of uneasiness and anxiety. She looked at Lin Sishen's expression from time to time, and wanted to ask something, but she was afraid of disturbing Lin Sishen's rest.

The fourth prince took the trouble to invite Lin Sishen to his residence at this time, obviously he had no good intentions.

But Lin Sishen also knew one thing, that is, the fourth prince would not do her any harm, because no matter what, she and General Lin were still valuable to the fourth prince.

At least at this moment, he will never take the risk of offending General Lin.

Besides, there is Shen Qingwan.

Thinking of Shen Qingwan, Lin Sishen opened her eyes quietly, looked at Mo Zhu who was hesitating, and asked softly, "Mo Zhu, did you send someone to deliver that letter?"

Mo Zhu nodded: "The maidservant has already sent someone to send the letter to the palace, and it won't be long before the letter will fall into the hands of the princess."

"very good."

Lin Sishen responded casually, and was about to close his eyes again, but Mo Zhu couldn't help it, so he asked, "Why did you agree to go to the fourth prince's residence? The fourth prince has bad intentions, and you clearly know about it."

Lin Sishen said calmly, "This is His Majesty's intention."

Mo Zhu frowned and said, "Even if it's His Majesty's intention, Young Master should have a way to decline."

Lin Sishen saw Mo Zhu's worry, she blinked at Mo Zhu, and lowered her voice to comfort him: "How can you catch a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's den, actually I really want to see what kind of tricks Shen Xinxun is going to play. "

Mo Zhu was still worried, she said worriedly: "I'm afraid, I'm just afraid that he will harm the young master."

Lin Sishen smiled: "Don't worry, the day hasn't changed, he doesn't have that much courage."

In fact, Lin Sishen's thinking was correct, no matter how bold the Fourth Prince was, he would not openly attack Lin Sishen in his own residence.Lin Sishen entered his residence openly and aboveboard, but he could not escape the responsibility for anything that happened to Lin Sishen in his residence.

Compared with Lin Sishen's optimism, Mo Zhu seemed particularly restless. She couldn't explain why, but she felt something was wrong, her heart was beating wildly in her chest, as if she had a premonition that danger was approaching Lin Sishen, but she couldn't persuade Lin Sishen just by intuition. Move Lin Sishen.

Mo Zhu had her own worries, but Lin Sishen also had her own plans. She agreed to go to the Fourth Prince's residence, but she actually had two purposes.

First, He Qin is still in the hands of the fourth prince, and he is proud that he can use the secret He Qin said to control General Lin. Maybe he did this to test Lin Sishen, so Lin Sishen can't arouse the slightest suspicion in him, he can only pretend Subject to him, not to shirk.

Second, she needs to leave, so as to give the second prince a chance to steal.

Gyeongju, which is the closest to the capital, has [-] forest guards. Although they are all soldiers under General Lin, to mobilize them, two pieces of soldiers must be combined into one. Otherwise, only one of them will not be able to mobilize all the soldiers and horses.

Once the second prince raises troops, the [-] feather forest guards will be the only threat to the second prince. The second prince will not fail to think that he will definitely try to stop him.

The most simple and direct way is to steal half of the soldier talisman from General Lin, but General Lin has always carried the soldier talisman with him and has never left his body. It would be very difficult to steal the soldier talisman from him.

In fact, as long as Lin Sishen did it, he could successfully steal the soldier talisman, but the second prince didn't trust her.

Therefore, the second prince would not let Lin Sishen make a move, but would use the dark chess left in the general's mansion. Lin Sishen's move just gave them a chance, and they would definitely make a move without any scruples.

Lin Sishen wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, so as to prevent possible hidden dangers in the general's mansion when the second prince mutinied in the future.

Lin Sishen didn't intend to prevent the second prince from stealing the military talisman, but instead left voluntarily, creating an opportunity for the second prince, and secretly helping him steal the military talisman. In this way, the second prince can completely feel at ease and concentrate on planning the mutiny.

The carriage stopped in front of the fourth prince's mansion very quickly, the butler was waiting in front of the door early in the morning, as soon as the carriage stopped, he eagerly greeted him, and invited Lin Sishen and Mo Zhu into the mansion.

The fourth prince expected that Lin Sishen would definitely come, so he prepared the food and wine early in the morning, and it happened to be time for dinner, so he first waited for Lin Sishen in the hall.

Seeing Lin Sishen's appearance, the fourth prince got up slowly and went forward to greet him personally.

The fourth prince was still too close to Lin Sishen, not only took a bite of Shen'er, but also personally served her food during the meal, and anyone could see that there was something wrong with that way of asking for warmth.

Lin Sishen responded with a smile on his face, but he didn't resist too much.After dinner, the fourth prince personally led her to the wing that had been prepared for her earlier.

The wing room prepared for Lin Sishen was on the west side of the mansion, only separated by a wall was the courtyard where the Fourth Prince kept his concubines and singing girls.

The fourth prince's behavior was really disgusting, and it made people feel that he had bad intentions. Although Lin Sishen looked calm on the face, he had already scolded him inwardly for countless times.

The fourth prince led Lin Sishen to the door, and said in a mysterious way: "Shen'er, I have spent a lot of thought on arranging this wing, you should be happy to live in it."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and slowly opened the door, and the furnishings in the room immediately caught Lin Sishen's eyes.

With just one glance, Lin Sishen's face suddenly turned cold. She turned her head to stare at the fourth prince who was looking at her with a smug smile, and tightly clenched her hands hanging by her sides.

Mo Zhu also quickly realized that something was wrong with Lin Sishen, she raised her head and pretended to glance at him casually, and was also shocked on the spot.

I saw that the furnishings in the wing room were exactly the same as the Liuguang Pavilion in the General's Mansion, where Lin Sishen and Shen Qingwan once lived together, and even the cloud couch that seemed to be randomly placed in the room was placed in the same position as the Liuguang Pavilion. The one left there is exactly the same.

The fourth prince glanced at the room meaningfully, and pretended to be surprised and asked: "Why, is it possible that Shen'er doesn't like the furnishings in this room?"

Lin Sishen's face was gloomy, she forced the corners of her lips into a smile, cupped her hands and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is so troublesome, I feel very honored."

The fourth prince curled his lips into a smile, and said softly: "It's fine if you like it, then Shen'er will have a good night's rest today, and tomorrow morning, I will call the witch doctor over to check your pulse. If there is anything wrong, tell the servants to go Just do it, Shen'er don't want to see outsiders."

After Lin Sishen was settled, the fourth prince made a gesture to leave, but he stopped when he was not far away. He didn't lead the butler away with satisfaction until seeing Lin Sishen entered the room and closed the door.

The butler, who followed the fourth prince step by step, saw that the fourth prince seemed to be going to the study, so he respectfully said: "Your Highness, please go to the study, and this servant will let someone prepare tea and snacks."

The fourth prince paused when he heard the footsteps, and raised his finger to point to the pavilions on the west side. A strange smile appeared on his gloomy face: "No, I am interested in going to the West Mansion to stay overnight."

Standing in that familiar yet unfamiliar room, Lin Sishen not only didn't feel at ease, but felt uneasy. She stared at the cloud couch in front of her with a gloomy face, wishing she could split it in half with a sword.

Mo Zhu at the side walked around the room and was also frightened. She frowned and looked at Lin Sishen, sighed softly and said, "My lord, this servant said that you shouldn't have come here at all."

Lin Sishen also had difficulties, no matter how reluctant she was, she could only cater to the fourth prince temporarily, in fact, this was something she had discussed with Shen Qingwan earlier.

Lin Sishen's tense face relaxed a little, she flicked the corner of her clothes and carefully sat on the cloud couch, and then said lightly: "If you come, you will be safe."

They were already in the tiger's lair, and Mo Zhu couldn't say anything more. She frowned and said uneasy: "My lord, that witch doctor that the fourth prince is talking about, I have never heard of such a person before. And usually Only people in Miao Jiang who are proficient in practicing Gu and thaumaturgy will be called witch doctors."

Lin Sishenwen took a deep breath, and murmured: "Practice Gu thaumaturgy?"

Mo Zhu nodded, and guessed: "Young master, do you think the fourth prince wants the witch doctor to plant some strange Gu to manipulate people's hearts in you?"

After finishing speaking, Mo Zhu said anxiously: "This servant is studying medicine and doesn't know any Gu skills. My aunt knows a little bit, but my aunt is not here."

Lin Sishenwen chuckled lightly, stood up and patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her softly: "Okay, Mo Zhu, stop thinking about it, there is no such thing in this world as a strange Gu that manipulates people's hearts."

Mo Zhu didn't relax her vigilance at all, she retorted quietly: "There are even strange things like Duanqingcao in this world."

The smile on Lin Sishen's face disappeared little by little, she shook her head lightly, sighed and said, "Then it's best to be careful, we'll be able to go back in two days."

While talking, a gust of cool wind suddenly passed by, Lin Sishen turned his head and looked at the open wooden window behind him.She walked forward slowly, and after looking around with her head, she closed the wooden window with her backhand.

And not far away, in a dim room, a pair of eyes were looking through the gap in the window, staring straight at the window that Lin Sishen had just passed.

Candlelight suddenly lit up in the room, and the enchanting woman who was peeping by the window turned her head, twisted her water snake waist and walked towards the fourth prince who was obsessed with the fire and lit the candlestick.

The fourth prince's face was cold, but there was a glint of hot light in his eyes, he squinted at the woman who was walking, and asked in a low voice: "Can you see clearly?"

The woman scratched her head and flirted with a strand of hair, and said with a coquettish smile, "I see clearly, what a handsome, fair and tender young master."

The fourth prince smiled coldly, and with a sudden wave of the hand behind his back, he threw a piece of clothes on the table, raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Put on the clothes."

The woman picked up the men's robe thrown on the table with her fingertips, and at a glance she found that the style of the clothes was exactly the same as that worn by the handsome young man she saw just now.

The woman smiled knowingly, and looked at the fourth prince who was eager to try meaningfully: "It turns out that Your Highness still has such a hobby."
