Xi Qian instructed Lin Sishen a few times, then went back to the side room to rest, leaving Lin Sishen and Shen Qingwan alone.

The room was dark and quiet, Lin Sishen buried his head in Shen Qingwan's shoulder, carefully hugged her arm, desperately absorbing the little bit of temperature from Shen Qingwan's body, the original faint fragrance on Shen Qingwan's body has been overwhelmed by the thick Covered by the smell of medicine, the breath is weak like a porcelain doll full of cracks that is about to shatter.

Only at this time, Lin Sishen could finally shed tears unscrupulously without worrying about being seen by others.

"I always said that I would protect you, but I insisted on going my own way and hurting you."

Lin Sishen's voice trembled violently, and she sobbed in Shen Qingwan's ear with a crying voice. She couldn't forgive herself no matter what, so she could only be like a child who knew that she had done something wrong, wronged and blamed herself, sad and helpless. help murmured.

"Please don't blame me."

If it were before, Shen Qingwan's heart would soften when she saw her like this, she would gently caress her face, then embrace her in her arms and whisper comforting words.

But now she was lying there so quietly, no matter how painful Lin Sishen beside her was struggling, she remained indifferent.

Tears from the corners of her eyes silently wet Shen Qingwan's shoulders, Lin Sishen cried silently for a long time before finally raising her head, she took a deep breath and wiped away the tears on her face, then got up.

During these days, Lin Sishen stayed by Shen Qingwan's side almost every night, and would not leave until dawn the next day, but she didn't seem to plan to spend the night here today.

After tidying up his emotions, Lin Sishen leaned over and kissed Shen Qingwan's forehead lightly, and then left in a hurry.

Lin Sishen left in a particularly hasty manner, so she didn't notice that just as she turned to leave, Shen Qingwan, who was lying on the bed, quietly frowned, and the hand placed beside her seemed to move, her fingertips seemed to hold her back. Tighten in vain in the air.

The trappers have been haunting the Fourth Prince's mansion recently. That day Li Luo stabbed Shen Qingwan and then left. They tried to stop Li Luo, but none of them was Li Luo's opponent, but although they did not stop Li Luo Luo, but there were also people who saw Li Luo enter the fourth prince's mansion with their own eyes.

Lin Sishen asked them to keep an eye on him, and inform her immediately once Li Luo showed up. She really wanted to see Li Luo and question why Li Luo betrayed her. Never showed up again.

In addition, Lin Sishen actually has another problem, that is, Zhao Shangshu, who was ordered to investigate the assassination of Shen Qingwan. He suspected that Lin Sishen sent someone to assassinate Shen Qingwan. suspected.

So he came to Lin Sishen several times to test his words, but Lin Sishen kept silent. He suffered from not having any evidence, so he could only send someone to secretly watch Lin Sishen's every move.

Now every time Lin Sishen leaves the mansion, Luo Wang's men need to secretly help to confuse the eyeliner, but Zhao Shangshu became more suspicious of her problem after more times, and sent additional people to keep an eye on Lin Sishen all the time.

The plan of the fourth prince to let Li Luo assassinate Shen Qingwan was really insidious. It not only severely injured Shen Qingwan, but also tripped Lin Sishen's hands and feet. The fourth prince still held a lot of chips in his hands. Dare to be so reckless.

However, by doing so, Lin Sishen had an excuse to completely fall in love with the second prince and win his trust.

After leaving the palace, Lin Sishen went straight to the hiding place of the second prince's aide, Liu Ce. Since getting the soldier amulet given by Lin Sishen, the second prince and Liu Ce have been intensively planning a secret rebellion. He is fatuous and refuses to delegate power, conniving at the pretext of provoking the prince to fight for power, and secretly colluding with many officials in the court and China.

Lin Sishen has been paying close attention to their movements. To the second prince, Lin Sishen is actually his own. Although he has not fully trusted Lin Sishen, Lin Sishen has already stolen the soldier talisman for him, and has completely stepped on his bandit ship.

As for the assassination of Shen Qingwan, the second prince was also overjoyed. Shen Qingwan had been vacillating and was suspected to be the emperor's pawn. She was seriously injured and died after being assassinated, so the second prince didn't have to worry that Shen Qingwan would ruin his plan.

Lin Sishen came to the door this time, in addition to expressing his loyalty, he also cried and complained that Shen Qingwan was secretly instigated by the fourth prince, and that he had suffered from being framed by the fourth prince.She didn't slander and tell lies, so the second prince and Liu Ce naturally believed that she and the fourth prince were already at odds with each other.

As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, and the Second Prince was in the midst of employing someone, so he simply took a gamble and took Lin Sishen under his command. So far, Lin Sishen had gained a firm foothold in the Second Prince's faction.

It was a coincidence that the second prince was in trouble for something.

It turned out that Liu Ce had scattered the Tibetan soldiers in Longling all over the place, had them blacken their faces and come out at night, and gathered towards the capital at an extremely slow speed. Anyone who found them along the way was wiped out. The number suddenly increased, especially when the rebels passed through the mountains outside Suzhou City, they were found by three hunters. Although the rebels killed two of them in time and hid their corpses, one escaped.

The man saw his companion die tragically with his own eyes, and a large number of well-trained soldiers with black faces suddenly appeared in the mountains where no one would go to. He thought it was a ghost hit and saw the soldiers crossing the border, and he went crazy when he returned home. Shouting a catastrophe, the Yin soldiers killed people, causing panic everywhere in Suzhou.

In order to appease people's hearts, the governor of Suzhou personally took people to the mountains outside the city to find out. He accidentally discovered a privately made weapon left by the rebel army when he was passing by, and was shocked when he brought it back to the government office. , Immediately played the matter.

Although the second prince sent someone to stop the report first, the state official couldn't wait for the news of his arrival in the capital. Secretly gathering in the capital, he didn't know that he had just guessed the truth, which also caused a catastrophe for himself.

The second prince intercepted all the reports. He was afraid that this person would ruin the big event, so he sent someone to Suzhou to secretly silence the state official to prevent future troubles, but the person he sent not only missed, but also confused The state official was captured alive, and he slipped his mouth under a pass of severe torture.

The state official spied a huge conspiracy, and that night he secretly escorted the assassin to the capital, intending to personally explain the matter in person.The second prince sent many people to silence him, but he didn't think that the state official was very smart and courageous, he used the trick of transferring the tiger away from the civet cat in exchange for the prince several times to escape from the tiger's mouth, hiding his tracks and galloping all the way to the capital, it was really difficult to deal with.

Lin Sishen's sudden visit just gave Liu Ce the idea to leave this matter to Lin Sishen to take care of. Lin Sishen's snares are all over the world, and with the help of the assassin organization Shadow Gate, he can also take this opportunity to try Lin Sishen again .

Lin Sishen did not hesitate to follow up on this errand, and after leaving that night, he sent a message to the crowd and dispatched people outside the capital to keep an eye on all the official roads leading to the capital, and report immediately if any abnormalities were found.

In less than a day, Luo Wang found the state official on a steep mountain road fifty miles away from the capital.Since the state official is a smart person, she must have left behind, Lin Sishen had a plan, she did not let the state official be killed, but sent the Shadow Gate assassin to rob and kill the state official, and at the same time sent a net to rescue the state official. He was secretly sent back to the capital and placed in an inn in the city.

The state official was still wary of Luo Wang, and he refused to say anything more. It was not until Lin Sishen came forward to reveal his identity that he relaxed his vigilance and told Lin Sishen why he secretly rushed to the capital.

In the eyes of the state official, General Weiyuan was loyal to the emperor, and his three sons had made great contributions to the country's war. Naturally, Lin Sishen was also a loyal person who served the country, and Lin Sishen rescued him from the assassins. I am especially grateful for the trust in Lin Sishen.

The state official thought that his official position was low, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to face the saint, and he didn't know who else the high-ranking officials in the capital could trust, so he pinned all his hopes on Lin Sishen. The confession written by him by capturing the assassin alive, and the news that he secretly sent people to pretend to be their identities and rush to the capital with another confession just in case.

But what he never expected was that after Lin Sishen lured him to tell the man's name and appearance, he stabbed him in the stomach with his backhand, and then respectfully sent the memorial written by him in blood to the man behind him. In front of the inconspicuous entourage.

"Mr. Liu, please take a look."

"You traitorous minister, you shameless and despicable villain... I will never let you go even if I am a ghost..."

When the state official saw this scene, he suddenly realized, he spat out blood in grief and indignation, scolded Lin Sishen, until he passed away.

Luo Wang's subordinates who were accompanying him saw that Lin Sishen had killed this person without hesitation, and were stunned in shock. Lin Sishen had promised them that joining Luo Wang was only to collect information, not for personal gain and would not harm innocent people's lives. , Luo Wang has always done this.

But now Lin Sishen took advantage of Luo Wang's information and killed a good official who pleaded for integrity and loyalty for the people.

Lin Sishen didn't seem to care about this, she could even take out the handkerchief in her sleeve to wipe the blood on her fingertips as if nothing had happened amid the cursing of the state official, then turned around and patted the hand that stood there dumbfounded, with a calm tone The order said: "The food is clean."

After Liu Ce saw Lin Sishen's ruthless methods with his own eyes, he nodded in satisfaction. He picked up the memorial and walked to Lin Sishen's side, saying meaningfully, "Lord Lin, your loyal highness has seen it."

A smile appeared on Lin Sishen's face, she cupped her hands at Liu Ce and said, "Thank you sir for giving me this chance."

Liu Ce, the old fox, squinted his eyes, and immediately understood the meaning of Lin Sishen's words: "It's good that Master Lin knows."

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked out of the room side by side, leaving Luo Wang's subordinates staring at the corpse on the ground in a daze.
