The county horse is a medicine jar

In the fourth prince's mansion, Shen Qingwan was sitting in the hall with her eyes slightly closed, with a cup of hot tea re-served in her hand. She had been waiting here for about a stick of incense, but the fourth prince hadn't shown up for a long time. , and never sent anyone to greet him, only a maidservant was left to serve.

This situation is indeed a bit unusual. You must know that even if he broke with Shen Qingwan at the beginning, the fourth prince still treated her like a guest of honor, at least on the surface he would not treat her with the slightest contempt, let alone leave her in vain without saying hello. Waiting so long.

But Shen Qingwan didn't feel dissatisfied because of his negligence, but just sat and waited as motionless as a mountain, and occasionally took a small sip from the teacup, looking calm and calm.

In fact, the fourth prince's move was deliberately indifferent, to test whether Shen Qingwan came today for Lin Sishen, or whether he had ulterior motives.He was not bothered by any important matters, but quietly hid in the dark, observing Shen Qingwan's every move.

Shen Qingwan's actions are too capricious, and all her actions so far have been traceless, making it difficult for people to understand her thoughts and what she wants to do.

If it is said that in the beginning, Shen Qingwan only took the trouble to plan and pave the way for the fourth prince in order to repay the kindness of the past, it would be reasonable.But after the fourth prince returned to the capital, her actions became confusing.

She first gave up on the fourth prince who had worked so hard to support her, and broke up with him as an enemy without mercy, and turned to his deadly enemy, the second prince, to advise him.Then he betrayed the second prince without warning, informed the fourth prince about his hiding troops in Longling, and showed his sincerity to the fourth prince.

Unless what she did was still paving the way for the fourth prince secretly, breaking up was just a play, and surrendering to the second prince was also a play, otherwise her actions were really hard to justify, it would be tantamount to digging her own grave.

But the fourth prince knew that this was impossible, Shen Qingwan did not plan for him sincerely, and would never do such a thing for him, the little affection between them disappeared long ago.

If everything is just obeying the order of the father, then Shen Qingwan is too short-sighted. The father is already old, and sooner or later the world will fall into the hands of the new emperor.

If anyone acted like this, the fourth prince would laugh at this person as stupid as a pig, but this person is Shen Qingwan, she is unpredictable and thoughtful, she will never be so stupid.

She must have another purpose.

However, although the fourth prince is afraid of doubting Shen Qingwan, he is not the type to throw a mouse at the mouse. You must know that no matter how smart Shen Qingwan is, it is just a stepping stone for him, a pawn in his hand.

He firmly believes that the reason why he can get to where he is today is not due to Shen Qingwan, but because he endured humiliation for many years and finally climbed to the top step by step, and now he is only one step away from the throne.

It is not impossible to control Shen Qingwan, no matter what she wants to do, no matter what purpose she has, as long as Lin Sishen is firmly trapped, the fourth prince will not be afraid that Shen Qingwan will fly out of his palm.

The Fourth Prince had never had any tenderness towards Shen Qingwan, even when Shen Qingwan was devoting himself to planning for him when he was suffering in Lingnan, he only took it for granted and was not grateful at all.

Shen Qingwan owed him a debt, and even dared to betray him after working for him unwillingly.So it's only natural that he hates Shen Qingwan, besides hating, he is even more jealous of Shen Qingwan.

It's really ironic that a dignified prince of his would be jealous of a prince's girl.

Obviously also from the royal family, Shen Qingwan's biological mother was a gentle, dignified and well-educated young lady from a family, while his biological mother was just a humble and obedient court lady.

Shen Qingwan was favored by the Ninth Prince, and he was the jewel in the palm of the Ninth Prince's mouth for fear of melting and holding it in the palm of his hand, but his father never looked at him directly, and he felt bored even talking to him.

There is also Shen Qingwan's world-renowned reputation. Who doesn't know that she is the lord of Qingyang County, who is both talented and beautiful, and who remembers him, the prince who was exiled in Lingnan and no one cares about him.

There was even Lin Sishen, the woman who had made him feel a little bit of concern, the woman who had awakened him with a single word, was also fascinated by Shen Qingwan, and fell in love with her at the expense of Chang Lun.

Shen Qingwan is obviously just a woman, just a woman, but she is respected and loved by others with that noble appearance that guides the world.Everything she got easily, everything she was accustomed to, was what Shen Xinxun dreamed of but couldn't get.

How hateful and detestable.

Through the curtain, the fourth prince stared unscrupulously at the calm Shen Qingwan, his eyes were full of vigorous ambition and long-distorted greed.

Not only did he want to ascend to the throne of God and become the Ninth Five-Year Lord, but he also wanted to take Lin Sishen away from Shen Qingwan and make Shen Qingwan kneel down and bow down to him. He couldn't wait to see it. What kind of expression will be shown on Shen Qingwan's cold and frosty face.

Shen Qingwan waited for about half an hour before the fourth prince finally came late. He took a bath and changed his clothes, washing away the smell from the witch doctor's residence.

The fourth prince greeted Shen Qingwan with a dusty look on his face, and explained in his mouth: "Wan'er, you have been tired and waited for a long time, and my brother was just troubled by an urgent matter, and I forgot about it for a while. Tell me, so I neglect Wan'er, I feel really ashamed for my brother."

Shen Qingwan got up slowly, with a smile on her face, she calmly opened her lips and said, "Since it is an urgent matter, Fourth Brother must have no intention of doing it, so how could Wan'er blame Fourth Brother?"

Hearing such a polite remark, the fourth prince was stunned. He looked at Shen Qingwan with a bitter smile, and sighed: "Wan'er, I haven't heard you call my fourth brother for a long time."

This came suddenly with a hint of resentment, but it didn't move Shen Qingwan at all, she just lowered her eyes and smiled without saying a word.

Seeing that she wasn't moved at all, the fourth prince sighed hypocritically, and said with his hands behind his back: "After all, I'm still born. It seems that Wan'er treats me without the slightest affection."

Shen Qingwan heard that Dai's eyebrows frowned, and asked softly: "What's wrong with fourth brother today? Why are you so sentimental?"

The fourth prince said with a gloomy expression, "Father sent someone from the palace today to say that he is going to have a banquet with the royal family and relatives in the palace tonight. This reminds me of something from the past."

Shen Qingwan followed his words and asked: "What kind of past events can make fourth brother worry about it."

The fourth prince took a deep breath, looked at Shen Qingwan with a complicated expression, and said, "I still remember that when I was still in Lingnan, you often wrote to greet me. At that time, our brother and sister had a close relationship. Sometimes when I encountered difficulties, you He also specially rushed from Qingzhou to Lingnan to help me solve my problems. Once it was my father’s birthday, and you happened to be in Lingnan, so we were cooking wine and chatting in the courtyard that night.”

Shen Qingwan nodded thoughtfully: "It seems to be the case."

The fourth prince's eyes dimmed, and he continued: "At that time, I was depressed, and after drinking, I told you that I was deliberately made difficult by my elder brother and made fun of me at the court banquet. Wan'er, do you still remember what you said at that time?"

Shen Qingwan said lightly: "I can't remember what happened in the past."

The fourth prince said with emotion when he heard the loss: "But I remember it clearly. Wan'er said at that time, after you helped me return to the capital, no one would dare to make fun of me, and no one would dare to despise me. Now Everything is as you want, but you and I are no longer what we used to be, we can chat in the courtyard for a long time with a pot of sake."

Shen Qingwan frowned slightly, and after a long silence, she finally spoke softly: "Why does fourth brother suddenly bring up old things again?"

There seemed to be tears in the eyes of the fourth prince. He looked at Shen Qingwan sincerely, and said word by word: "I bring up the old things again, just to let Wan'er know that I don't care about Wan'er's affection for me back then. Don’t dare to forget it, it’s buried deep in my heart. Can Wan’er give me another chance, trust me again, and help me again.”

Shen Qingwan asked back: "How can I believe? How can I help?"

The fourth prince took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Since the second brother has a heart of rebellion, he will definitely send someone to the general's mansion to steal the soldier talisman just to keep safe. In this way, even if the second brother succeeds in stealing the soldier talisman, it will be of no avail."

Seeing that Shen Qingwan seemed to be thinking about it after speaking, the fourth prince said again: "I did have ulterior motives in inviting Shen'er to the mansion, but I also wanted to persuade Shen'er to steal the soldier talisman on General Lin's body, no one is more suitable than her .”

Shen Qingwan smiled lightly: "So, that's why fourth brother invited Shen'er to the house?"

The fourth prince nodded, with a calm expression on his face: "Yes, I mentioned this matter to Shen'er yesterday, but this matter is related to General Lin after all, Shen'er is a little hesitant. I have given Shen'er two days Considering the time, I promise her that I won't disturb her these two days, I just need to let her calm down at my house to weigh the pros and cons, and then reply to me after making a decision."

Shen Qingwan looked at the calm eyes of the fourth prince, and murmured thoughtfully: "So..."

The fourth prince took the words and said word by word: "So, I want to ask Wan'er to help me again, don't interfere with Shen'er's decision, and trust me again, I have no malice in inviting Shen'er to come to the house."

Shen Qingwan's expression changed, and she lowered her eyes and murmured softly: "The fourth brother beat around the bush and said so much, just because he wants me not to see Shen'er for two days, right?"

The fourth prince nodded in embarrassment, and said softly: "Wan'er, I believe that you are really helping me this time, then you should believe me once, now you and I are both prosperous and damaged."

Before Shen Qingwan finished speaking, the fourth prince quickly glanced at her expression, and sighed helplessly: "If Wan'er doesn't believe me, I can take Shen'er away today, and I'll think of other ways to deal with the soldier talisman." yes."

After hearing what the fourth prince said, Shen Qingwan smiled slightly, and asked sharply: "Why is the fourth brother so determined that I can't persuade Shen'er to accept this matter, but will interfere with her decision?"
