The county horse is a medicine jar

Not long after entering the hall and sitting down, Princess Qingyao came back and sat beside Shen Qinghou as if nothing had happened.

Although Concubine Chen is old, she has a charitable and graceful face. She glanced around the hall, looking at these princes and grandchildren accompanying her to celebrate her birthday, she couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

She looked sideways at the old emperor beside her, and said softly, "Emperor, I am very happy to see you all here today, but it's a pity that Xun'er is not here."

Originally the old emperor stroked his beard with a smile on his face, but when Chen Taifei mentioned the word Xun'er, his complexion sank immediately, but he didn't want to have a sudden attack for no reason, so he frowned and murmured dissatisfiedly: "I'm so happy!" Days, why mention him."

Although Lin Sishen was far away, she heard clearly what Concubine Chen said just now. She raised her eyebrows calmly and looked at Shen Qinghou, but she saw that Shen Qinghou's face remained unchanged and Shi Shiran sat upright, as if he had never Hear mediocre.

Everyone at the banquet had different expressions, and the originally lively atmosphere suddenly became weird. Among them, the emperor and the prince were the most abnormal.

Lin Sishen's eyes swept across as if nothing had happened, and landed on the prince's face. The gentle and refined prince now glanced at Shen Qinghou quickly with a somewhat flustered expression, and then raised his hand and subconsciously touched his neck.

The second prince who was sitting beside him narrowed his eyes, and lowered his head with a half-smile. Obviously, he also noticed the prince's unusual behavior just now.

Lin Sishen narrowed his eyes, and felt a little strange in his heart, why would the prince look at Shen Qingwan with a strange expression when Concubine Chen mentioned the fourth prince.

Could it be that Shen Qinghou was also involved in that incident back then?

Concubine Chen knew that her words offended the emperor, so she didn't say any more. She held on to the jade chopsticks and put a piece of pastry in the old emperor's bowl and said with a smile: "The emperor is not happy, so I won't mention it."

Even if it was smoothed over, the banquet had already continued, and everyone happily toasted.

Lin Sishen looked thoughtfully at the delicious food and wine on the wooden table in front of him, lost in thought.

The Xun'er that Concubine Chen said was the emperor's fourth son, Shen Xinxun, the current King of Lingnan.

Shen Xinxun is the concubine son born to a court lady in the emperor's Linxing. Because of his humble mother's status and dull temper, he was not loved by the emperor since he was born, and was often bullied by the prince in the palace.

But Concubine Chen loves him very much and often brings him to Qiming Palace to play.

About five years ago, on the day the prince entered the East Palace, Shen Qingxun broke into the East Palace after being drunk for no reason and beat the prince severely, with a horizontal sword placed on the prince's neck.

The emperor was furious when he heard the news, and he stabbed Shen Qingxun's right leg with his sword.

Fortunately, Concubine Chen arrived in time to intercede for him. Although the emperor spared his death penalty after appeasing his anger, he also drove him to Lingnan.

The emperor named him King of Lingnan on the surface, but in fact he was exiled to Lingnan.

Over the years, the emperor seems to have forgotten that he still has such a son. Ever since Shen Xinxun was driven to Lingnan, he has never been called back once.

Shen Xinxun was not favored in the first place, and her biological mother was just a court lady, she was as invisible as a transparent person in the eyes of others.

Over the years, not only the emperor but also the common people seemed to have forgotten his existence, and few people mentioned him.

Lin Sishen met him twice when he was young, and he vaguely remembered that he was not very talkative and always kept his head down.

Once when General Lin led her to the imperial garden, he happened to meet him sitting in the pavilion of the imperial garden with a book in his hands.When General Lin was summoned by the emperor to the imperial study, Lin Sishen, accompanied by two eunuchs, stood outside the pavilion, staring at the ants on the ground in a daze.

Shen Xinxun closed the book and walked up to her, smiled at her, then squatted down with her to watch the ants without saying a word.

It didn't take long for the crown prince to arrive, and surrounded by a group of eunuchs, he walked up to the two of them, first trampled the ants on the ground to death, then grabbed the book in Shen Xinxun's hand, and threw it on the ground to face him. Cynical up.

Because it's been too long, Lin Sishen can't remember many things clearly. She only remembers that Shen Xinxun was pushed to the ground by the prince without saying a word, and was stomped on the head by the prince with a smile, but she didn't resist or even snorted. .

Many years later, when he heard that Shen Xinxun broke into the East Palace with a sword in order to murder the prince, Lin Sishen couldn't believe it.

In her opinion, Shen Xinxun is an extremely forbearing person, how could he brazenly murder the prince in the East Palace.

Later Shen Xinxun was exiled to Lingnan, and Lin Sishen never heard from him again, even the title of Fourth Prince was never mentioned.

Lingnan is very close to Su'an, and Su'an is a small city bordering Laos.

Lin Sishen suspected that Shen Qingwan was plotting for the fourth prince, that's why he was so surprised. After all, the fourth prince has no chance of winning in the battle for the heir apparent.

Why did the prince look at Shen Qingwei when Concubine Chen mentioned the fourth prince, and why did Shen Qingwan choose the fourth prince.

Lin Sishen felt that he seemed to have vaguely guessed that the assassination of the prince by the fourth prince might have something to do with Shen Qingwan.Because of this, Shen Qinghou chose to plan for the fourth prince.

If this is the case, then Shen Qinghou's choice seems to be traceable.

+ + + + + +

After the banquet was over, Lin Sishen and Shen Qinghou went out of the palace together, and after parting with the Ninth Prince, they got into the carriage and went back to the General's Mansion.

Lin Sishen gained a lot tonight.

Princess Qingyao's words and deeds seemed to reveal deep jealousy towards Shen Qinghou, and her frivolity towards Lin Sishen seemed to be just to make Shen Qinghou unhappy.

In the past, Lin Sishen had never heard anyone mention that there was a rift between Princess Qingyang and Shen Qingwan.Shen Qinghou has been staying in Qingzhou, and has rarely returned to Beijing for many years, and has not met the princess Qingyao a few times.

There is also the strange look in the prince's eyes. Princess Qingyao has a close relationship with the prince, and Shen Qinghou should be planning for the fourth prince.The incident five years ago may have something to do with all four of them.

It's just what happened back then that made the forbearing fourth prince break into the East Palace with a sword and assassinate the prince.

Lin Sishen closed his eyes, and the clues in his mind slowly came together.

After a long time, Lin Sishen suddenly opened his eyes, and a dark light flashed in his clear pupils.

She raised her eyebrows calmly, turned her head to look at Shen Qinghou with closed eyes and rested her mind, and asked softly: "Princess, Princess Qingyao seems to be treating you a little..."

Shen Qinghou slowly opened her eyes, and a hint of disgust flashed across her clear eyes, she said lightly: "She is jealous, and she does things based on her preferences regardless of the consequences, if you see her in the future, just avoid her."

Shen Qinghou seldom showed joy in dealing with people and things, but Lin Sishen could occasionally notice Shen Qinghou's dislike and dislike towards his cousin Princess Qingyao.

This made Lin Sishen's suspicion more reasonable, she frowned and asked tentatively: "Did there ever be a rift between you?"

Shen Qinghou frowned slightly, she didn't seem to want to talk about Princess Qingyao with Lin Sishen, so she just responded perfunctorily: "Yes."

Shen Qinghou didn't want to go into details, so Lin Sishen couldn't continue to ask. She lowered her eyes and sat in silence, occasionally glancing at Shen Qinghou from the corner of her eyes.

At the banquet, Lin Sishen had nothing to do, and had been silently watching Shen Qinghou in the corner. Perhaps because of his company these days, Lin Sishen could already keenly detect the slight change in Shen Qinghou's indifferent expression.

Every time there was a subtle change in Shen Qinghou's expression, it was when the Crown Prince and Princess Qingyao spoke to her or toasted her.

It can make people like Shen Qinghou show even a trace of disgust, thinking about what the prince and Princess Qingyao must have done back then, and it must be related to Shen Qinghou.

The carriage drove slowly through an alley, Lin Sishen lifted the curtain to take a look, and then ordered the driver to stop the carriage.

Before going to the palace, Shen Qinghou said that she wanted to go to the wine shop with Lin Sishen again. Although Lin Sishen drank enough wine at the banquet, she always remembered Shen Qinghou's words.

Lin Sishen told the coachman to wait here for a while, then jumped out of the carriage, stood still, turned around and raised his hand.

Shen Qinghou walked out of the carriage slowly, glanced at Lin Sishen condescendingly, then hooked her red lips, and gently put her white jade hand on Lin Sishen's palm, and got out of the carriage under her guidance.

It's already midnight, and there are few pedestrians on the streets. Lin Sishen couldn't help but roll up her sleeves due to the night wind. She turned her head to look at Shen Qinghou, frowned and said, "It's already summer, why not?" It's so cold at night."

Shen Qinghou stood still, and said calmly: "There is a fur coat in the carriage, if you find it cold, call the driver to fetch it."

Lin Sishen smiled and shook his head: "That's not necessary, just drink to warm up later."

When the two came to the wine shop, there were a few low wooden tables in the narrow alley, and several customers were laughing and carrying out the drinking orders. When they saw Lin Sishen and Shen Qinghou walking side by side, they subconsciously fell silent. , looked at the two with doubt and curiosity.

Only ordinary people who can't afford to go to the wine shop in this deep alley will come here. Lin Sishen and Shen Qinghou, who are dressed in extraordinary clothes and have outstanding temperament, look like princes and ladies from noble families, but they come here to wait. Dirty and dilapidated wine shops can't help but make people feel a little strange.

The shopkeeper greeted him familiarly, bowed his body and greeted him: "Young master hasn't come for a long time."

Lin Sishen smiled faintly: "I had something to do a few days ago, so I just found time to bring my wife here today."

The shopkeeper took the cloth towel from his shoulders and wiped the low wooden table, and said with a smile: "The young master and this young lady thought they were a good match last time. They stood together like a couple of gods and gods. I didn't know that they were really the young master's wife."

Lin Sishen smiled, and looked at Shen Qingwei teasingly: "The last time my wife was dressed as a man, the shopkeeper could tell she was a woman at a glance?"

The shopkeeper touched his head, and said with a silly smile: "Madam's fairy-like appearance, how could it be a man, I, an old guy, can tell it at a glance."

Lin Sishen smiled in a low voice and said nothing, sneaking a glance at Shen Qinghou from the corner of his eye.

Shen Qinghou stood aside calmly, as if she hadn't heard the conversation between her and the shopkeeper, her expression didn't change at all, and her clear eyes seemed to flicker for a moment.

Lin Sishen sighed secretly, lowered his eyes and softly instructed the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, serve a jug of wine and two dishes of food."

"Young Master and Madam, please sit down for now, wait for a while." The shopkeeper respectfully agreed, wiped the table and chairs and asked them to sit down, then turned to prepare wine and dishes.

Shen Qinghou seemed to have something on his mind, and sat at the table without saying a word, while Lin Sishen lowered his eyes and did not speak, but he heard the guests at the side lower their voices and chat about the border war between Jin and Laos.

"I heard that war will start in a few days."

"Oh, there is going to be another war. I don't know how many people will die this time."

"Those barbarians have been coveting the land of our state of Jin. Over the years, they have to go to Su'an to burn, kill and loot every now and then. The people of Su'an are really suffering."

"If General Lin hadn't beaten the Lao people back then, how could we have lived a stable life for more than ten years."

"General Lin won't go into battle this time, and I don't know if General Wen can win the battle."

"General Lin is too old to go to the battlefield. General Wen is considered a fierce general. He seems to have never lost a battle. He should be more than enough to deal with those Laos."

"You can't say that. Those barbarians are not easy to deal with. I heard people say that the Lao people are all majestic and mighty. They are eight feet tall and as strong as a bull. If they were so easy to fight, how could General Lin lose so much? Aiko."

"It's true. Back then, General Lin died in battle and lost his arm. Only then did he get more than ten years of stable life."

"It's a pity. After the major general lost his arm, there is no news. I heard that he stayed in the mansion all day long and never even stepped out of the gate."

"General Lin is left with that ineffective little son, and I don't know if he will be like General Lin in the future, fighting on the battlefield to kill the enemy."

"I'm afraid you're joking, but the little boy's pretty face with smeared paint and thin arms and legs, if he really wants to go to the battlefield, he won't be scared to pee his pants, so she can only be majestic in the brothel and tavern."

"It is said that the tiger father has no dogs, how could General Lin give birth to such a coward."

The half-drunk people behind them actually talked and directed their words to Lin Sishen, as always, they looked down upon Lin Sishen with contempt.

Lin Sishen listened intently to a few words, but did not show any annoyance, with a faint smile on his face all the time.

Naturally, Shen Qinghou also heard those people's comments. After recovering, she raised her eyes to look at Lin Sishen, and saw Lin Sishen's calm expression, the corners of her lips curled slightly.

The shopkeeper served the food and wine in a timely manner, said a few compliments, and then withdrew.

Lin Sishen poured a glass of wine for Shen Qinghou, and said with a smile: "Sometimes I listen to these words, and after listening too much, I feel like I'm talking about someone else, and I'm also listening to the fun."

If the people behind her know her identity and hear her say that, they must think that she is not only unprogressive but also thick-skinned.

Shen Qinghou raised her thin lips slightly, and looked at Lin Sishen with clear eyes, and said meaningfully: "It's a good thing to show people weakness."

There was someone behind her, so Lin Sishen no longer referred to Shen Qinghou as the princess. She took a sip of wine, looked up at Shen Qingwei with a smile that was not a smile, and said jokingly: "I'm afraid it will be a few days, if I really leave , I don’t know if Madam will miss me.”

Lin Sishen said this as a joke, but he didn't want Shen Qingwan to look at her steadily, a complex look flashed in his dark and deep eyes, and he didn't speak for a long time.

The wind passing through the alley was a bit strong, whistling in the ears, and the lantern in front of the wine shop shed a dim yellow warm light, combined with the cold white moonlight, covering Shen Qinghou's body, covering the eyes of her face. The reflection on the face became more and more condensed,

Lin Sishen waited for a long time but did not wait for Shen Qinghou to speak, so he lowered his eyes and used the raised wine cup to cover up the embarrassment on his face.

Shen Qinghou's fluctuating hot and cold made Lin Sishen elusive. Sometimes she felt that Shen Qinghou treated her differently from others, but sometimes she felt that in Shen Qinghou's eyes, she was no different from others.

In fact, it doesn't matter to her whether there is a difference, she is just a woman, same as Shen Qinghou.

Even if Shen Qinghou really treats her differently, so what can she do, in the end, after three years, she still wants to get back together.

In just a few moments, Lin Sishen's mind was already spinning a thousand times.

Shen Qinghou watched her face silently, and suddenly opened his lips and said, "I'll go back to the house later, let Lan Qing Luyin move the cloud couch in the study back into the house."

Lin Sishen was startled and raised his eyes to look, but Shen Qinghou turned his head and continued: "In case the old lady is worried when she finds out."

"En." Lin Sishen nodded, and drank the bamboo leaf green in the wine cup in one gulp. The wine that used to taste mellow and fragrant was like lukewarm water when it was poured into his stomach, and it was tasteless except that his throat felt a little hot.

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, seeing that it was almost midnight, Lin Sishen asked the shopkeeper to make two jugs of wine, and drove back to the General's Mansion with Shen Qinghou.

Lan Qing and Lu Yin moved the cloud couch in the study back into the house, Lin Sishen, who had drunk a lot of wine today, stretched a little tiredly, and was about to throw himself down on the cloud couch lazily.

Shen Qinghou, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, took off the golden step shaker, looked at her with a slightly frowning brow, and opened his lips to remind him: "Take a bath with incense, or you will go back to the study to sleep for another night."

Lin Sishen's body froze, and only then did he remember that Princess Qingyao had hugged her today, and the strong and pungent smell of powder was still on her body.

Lin Sishen said with a sneer, "Let's go now."

It seems that Shen Qinghou really hated Princess Qingyao, but she just hugged her, as if Lin Sishen was dirty.

After living in Liuguang Pavilion, Lin Sishen always went to bathe in the previous courtyard, but today, for some reason, the bathing pool in the old courtyard always exuded a strong smell of medicine, so Lin Sishen turned around and left.

Lin Sishen leaned against the door, looked at Mo Zhu with a strange expression, squinted his eyes and asked, "Mo Zhu, but what did you put in it?"

Mo Zhu turned his head slightly, and said with a guilty conscience: "I soaked some medicinal materials yesterday, I thought the smell should be able to dissipate today."

Lin Sishen looked at her quietly with his arms folded, and sighed: "You use the bath to soak medicinal ingredients, why do you have to look at it, there are so many medicinal ingredients to soak."

After a brief moment of guilty conscience, Mo Zhu became confident, she snorted softly and said angrily: "Young Master, the worst thing is to use the bathing pool in Liuguangge, why do you have to use this bathing pool."

Lin Sishen's eyes changed, and he turned his head and said in a low voice: "The bathing pool in Liuguang Pavilion is used by the princess."

Mo Zhu glanced at her, and said calmly: "The bath is used instead of the bed, the bed that the princess has waded on has been waded by, why can't the bath be used."

Lin Sishen couldn't help it, she really couldn't smell the smell of medicine in the bath.

She raised her hand and poked Mo Zhu's forehead, and threatened in an angry and funny way: "Then I have to ask the princess first, you are not allowed to put medicinal materials in this bath in the future, it smells so bad, and I will sneak around next time." Hide your precious orchid."

Mo Zhu froze, and silently dodged Lin Sishen's hand.

After returning from the wet nurse, Mo Zhu became more and more weird, he was in a daze from time to time, avoided Lin Sishen when he had nothing to do, and hid in the house alone without knowing what to do.

Lin Sishen withdrew his hand, frowned and muttered, "You girl, why have you been acting strange these few days?"

Mo Zhu gave her a blank look: "My lord, you should hurry up and ask the princess, the smell of wine and powder is so bad."

Lin Sishen had no choice but to turn back to the Liuguang Pavilion, but she didn't see Shen Qinghou when she entered the house. After walking around, she saw Lan Qing and Green Shade in front of the bathroom door in the side courtyard.

She didn't need to guess and knew that Shen Qinghou was bathing in it.

She walked slowly to Lan Qing and Lu Yin as if nothing had happened, pointed to the closed door, and asked with a smile: "How long has the princess been bathing inside?"

Lan Qing and Lu Yin glanced at each other, and the two girls stood sideways in front of the door almost at the same time, like two door gods, staring at Lin Sishen vigilantly: "What is the county magi asking?"

"Naturally bathing." Lin Sishen spread his hands helplessly, how could these two girls guard her like a wolf, for fear that she would break in and peek at the princess taking a bath.

Lan Qing pursed her lips, blushed slightly and said in a low voice: "Jun Ma Ye, this is not good, the princess has never agreed."

Lin Sishen's expression was inexplicable: "What's the matter, the princess and I are husband and wife now, she shouldn't care about it."

Just use the bath, it's not a mandarin duck bath.

Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking like this, even the sullen Lu Yin blushed, lowered her head and bit her lip hesitantly: "But..."

Lin Sishen's face was full of black lines, why are these two girls so pedantic, she frowned and said: "Just ask the princess if she agrees, if the princess doesn't agree, I will leave on my own."

After finishing speaking, she waved to Mo Zhu at the gate of the courtyard, asking her to bring the clean clothes first.

Lin Sishen was about to turn around, but he heard Lan Qing knock on the door behind her, cleared his throat and asked awkwardly: "The princess... the princess...she wants to take a bath with the princess, let The servant girl asked the princess if she should be allowed to go in."

Lin Sishen's complexion changed, he turned around hastily and waved his hands to explain: "No, Miss Lan Qing, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

Lan Qing turned around to look at her in a daze, and looked at Lin Sishen in dismay: "Isn't the county matriarch going to take a bath with the princess?"

"Of course not." Lin Sishen rubbed her forehead with a headache, how could she have said so that Lan Qing and Lu Yi misunderstood her original intention.

But still Shen Qinghou didn't seem to hear Lan Qing's question just now, Lin Sishen breathed a sigh of relief, she sighed softly, and was about to explain.

However, in the quiet bathroom room, Shen Qingwan's cool voice came with a hint of sigh, lingering in Lin Sishen's ears.

"In that case, let her in."

With Shen Qinghou's permission, both Lan Qing and Lu Yin blushed and stepped aside, bowed and said in unison: "Please come in to take a bath."
