At night, Lin Sishen tossed and turned and couldn't sleep after thinking about it. Almost everything was mixed together and piled up in her heart, making it impossible for her to calm down and ponder.
Since she couldn't sleep, she simply got up and leaned in front of the window to get some breath.
Thousands of drizzle outside the window were wrapped in the wind and blowing on her face. The fine raindrops gradually condensed into water droplets, slid across her cheeks silently, and finally fell on the collar of her chest, wetting a large area.
Lin Sishen seemed to have not noticed it, and stood quietly in front of the window with his expressionless face, his clear eyes passing through the dark night, and he didn't know where it fell.
What happened in the past two days was somewhat beyond her expectations. Whether it was a confused night with Chen Qingwan, or Chen Qingwan telling her the truth about what happened back then, or even she inexplicably attacked Baiting Mountain.
It made her feel that she seemed to have become a different person. As long as she stayed beside Shen Qingwan, her thoughts and attention would run to Chen Qingwan uncontrollably.
If the emperor was really the initiator of the case back then, the situation of the general's mansion would be like a small boat on a turbulent river. If you are not careful, you will be sunk by huge waves and fall to a point of no return.
At such a critical moment, she did not think carefully about the general's mansion to get out of trouble, but instead focused on Shen Qingwan and became jealous of Baiting Mountain.
What's more, she had already separated her ties with Li at the beginning, and she decided not to get entangled in the past, but now why is she obsessed with Chen Qingwan's words?
Lin Sishen clenched his fists and took a deep breath, and his clear eyes flashed with dark light in the darkness. He had missed it once, right? Now she should only remember that she should maintain a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship with Chen Qingwan, both far and near.
Although Chen Qingwan turned against the fourth prince, his relationship with the second prince is becoming increasingly close and is deeply trusted by the emperor. He can cooperate with her and be able to make peace with the second prince for the time being, and then secretly show goodwill with the fourth prince.
Both sides will not offend them. In the future, no matter who succeeds to the throne, the general's mansion will be able to escape and retire.
Since Chen Qingwan kept saying that she cared about her, maybe she should be more cruel. Using Chen Qingwan’s affection for her, she would first protect the general’s mansion, wait for her family to leave this strange and changeable capital safely, and then find a pure place to spend the rest of her life.
From now on, she and Chen Qingwan will not be entangled.
The current dependence and tolerance are all ways to survive. As for how to seek revenge from the emperor...
Just as Lin Sishen was thinking deeply, a subtle knock on the door suddenly broke her thoughts. She suddenly turned around and realized that a slender and light figure of a woman was faintly reflected on the door.
Lin Sishen closed his eyes and pursed his lips, walked slowly to the door, and said calmly: "It's late at night, what's wrong with the princess coming to find me?"
Outside the door, Chen Qingwan remained silent for a while, and then said softly: "Are you still upset?"
Lin Sishen had no intention of opening the door, but was polite and a little annoyed: "I'm worried about the princess. I'm really a little uneasy tonight, so I offended Mr. Bai with rude words. Tomorrow I will apologize to Mr. Bai to apologize."
Chen Qingwan seemed to notice Lin Sishen's changes, opened his lips and said lightly: "You don't have to pay attention to him, nor do you need to apologize to him."
Lin Sishen thought for a moment in the sect, and suddenly laughed softly: "Okay, Mr. Bai is the princess, I just need to apologize to the princess."
When Chen Qingwan heard this, his tone suddenly became a little deeper: "You open the door."
Lin Sishen did not hesitate at all. He raised his hand and dropped the door bolt, and opened the door slowly.
Outside the door, Shen Qingwan was wearing a snow-white fox fur, and the crystal fox fur seemed to be stained with fine raindrops. Her eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as flowers, and her face looked a little pale, but she still couldn't hide her coldness and nobleness.
Lin Sishen and Chen Qingwan looked at each other, and their clear and long gazes were calm and could not see any slight waves. The corners of their lips opened a little curve, revealing a faint smile.
Chen Qingwan frowned slightly. She looked at Lin Sishen a few times, bit her thin lips with her teeth, and explained softly with a complicated expression: "Today, he did happen to be here, I didn't mean it..."
The cold wind outside the door poured into the gap and blew across Chen Qingwan's pale face. Lin Sishen stepped forward and missed her body. He reached out and closed the door and closed the door. He said without replying, "The princess doesn't need to explain this matter, I know."
After saying that, Lin Sishen turned around and looked at Chen Qingwan's back and said, "Didn't the princess ask me if I'm calm? I've calmed down. Actually, I'm trying to ask the princess for some things."
Chen Qingwan turned his back to her motionlessly, his eyes closed, and his eyes lowered with a complicated expression and said, "You ask."
Lin Sishen looked at the tiny raindrops on Chen Qingwan's shoulders, suddenly approached a step closer, raised his hand and gently wiped her with his sleeve, and asked casually: "The princess is now in opposition to the fourth prince, but wants to support the second prince instead?"
"This is not my original intention, it was the imperial uncle's private instruction."
Chen Qingwan turned around slowly, and his clear eyes were exploring, looking deep into Lin Sishen's eyes. But when he looked at each other, Lin Sishen deliberately turned his head and avoided his gaze, saying with a little deeper meaning: "Now the second prince shows his weakness, Your Majesty's move is not unexpected, but the fourth prince turned against the prince because of this. I am afraid that Your Majesty not only wants to use the princess to add chips to the second prince."
Lin Sishen’s implication is that the emperor deliberately distracts the relationship between the fourth prince and the princess, which can not only appease the second prince, but also separate the alliance between the princess and the fourth prince, and make the fourth prince focus on the princess who betrayed him.
The favor among others is nothing more than the so-called emperor's mind that the old fox calls. He regards Chen Qingwan as his bargaining chip and spokesperson and places it among the fourth prince and the second prince, so that they can compete for it.
Chen Qingwan's eyes fell on Lin Sishen's face, and opened his lips and said lightly: "Yes, he intended to let me get involved. The so-called favoritism is just to use me as a bargaining chip to balance the second and fourth brothers. As long as their power is equal, they will continue to be entangled, and no one dares to act rashly."
Lin Sishen said seriously: "Why is the princess willing to be controlled by others? Even though the princess is extremely smart, he is the emperor who controls the world above ten thousand people. One day he will doubt the royal palace..."
Speaking of this, Lin Sishen took a deep breath and his eyes turned cold: "Just like General Weiyuan's Mansion, which was suspicious of the sky, even if he knew in his heart that his father was loyal to him, he would not show any mercy."
Chen Qingwan noticed Lin Sishen's ready-to-be. She frowned and warned in a deep voice: "In recent years, he seems to be old and willing to abdicate, but in fact he is so scheming and playing with power and playing with everyone in his palms. You must not act rashly, at least not now, the time has not yet come."
Lin Sishen curled his lips and smiled, and said softly: "I am now on the same boat as the princess. I will secretly lie dormant and wait for an opportunity to move. As long as the princess doesn't let go, I will naturally not act rashly."
After saying that, before Chen Qingwan could speak, Lin Sishen approached another step. After feeling the chill on Chen Qingwan's body, she lowered her eyes and looked at Chen Qingwan's jade hand that was hanging beside her, and took the initiative to raise his hand to capture Chen Qingwan's fingertips.
“It’s a little cold tonight.”
Lin Sishen lowered his head and smiled at the corner of his lips. After sighing softly, she gently held Chen Qingwan's other hand, closed her palms and protected them in her hands. Her warm fingertips gently rubbed Shen Qingwan's cold skin.
Chen Qingwan was a little stunned. Her eyes fell on Lin Sishen's face and she had not come back to her senses for a long time.
Since Lin Sishen took the love-breaking grass, she has never shown any gentleness to Chen Qingwan, but her sudden ambiguous intimacy has not made Chen Qingwan feel even a little happy, but she closed her eyes a little sadly.
Lin Sishen could sense that Chen Qingwan's fingertips seemed to curl up slightly. She did not speak or let go, but just gently covered Chen Qingwan's cold hands.
After a brief silence, Chen Qingwan slowly opened her eyes. How could she not understand Lin Sishen’s intention? She murmured with a sigh: “What do you want to ask?”
Lin Sishen raised his eyes and looked at Chen Qingwan with a slightly tired look. He gritted his teeth and asked after all: "I still have doubts about what happened back then. Since the princess can know the truth, there must be someone who knows the truth, except for her father, where is that person...?"
Chen Qingwan turned his head and rubbed his cold fingertips against Lin Sishen's palm. She opened her lips and whispered: "The maid you have seen today."
After getting the answer she wanted, Lin Sishen was delighted and subconsciously let go of her hand. After the joy, she was a little doubtful: "It's her... she has something to do with that year?"
Chen Qingwan's hand remained in the air and trembled slightly. After a long time, she slowly withdrew her hand, her eyebrows and eyes were full of fatigue: "If you want to know, go and ask her tomorrow."
Lin Sishen hurriedly leaned over and bowed: "Thank you, Princess, for telling me."
Chen Qingwan's eyes fell between Lin Sishen's hair, and a trace of injury and gloomy appeared in her eyes. She said lightly: "I'm tired, you should take a break soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Qingwan walked past Lin Sishen. Her whole body was like a piece of ice. The moment she passed by, the hem of her clothes was lifted up, and the chill that came out rushed towards her, making Lin Sishen unable to help but chill.
She hurriedly got up, turned around and called Chen Qingwan, who was about to speak: "Princess."
Chen Qingwan paused his hand on the door bolt and asked without looking back: "What else do you want to ask?"
Lin Sishen asked with some tentative questions: "Tonight, the princess should... stay."
“No need.”
Chen Qingwan replied softly, as if the wind was light and light, then lowered her eyes with a complicated expression. After thinking for a while, she took out a carved sandalwood box the size of a palm from her sleeve, turned around and handed it to Lin Sishen: "After returning home, you handed this thing over to Senior Xi, she will know its use if she has seen it."
"good."
Lin Sishen reached out to take the wooden box with suspicion, looked at Chen Qingwan for a few seconds, raised a smile, looked at him with a gentle expression but with a hint of undetectable alienation: "Princess, please rest early."
Chen Qingwan nodded, but she didn't turn around and leave for a long time. She gently clenched her palms, as if she could still grasp the remaining warmth from her cold skin: "Today, Bai Tingshan asked, do you have the answer in your heart."
Lin Sishen's eyes flashed slightly, but after a moment, she returned to clearness. She lowered her eyes and smiled and pretended to be relieved: "The dispute that arose because of her upset is not an answer, so how can she get the answer?"
Chen Qingwan's face turned pale when she heard this, and she murmured in distractedness: "There is no answer..."
After saying that, Chen Qingwan was confused and turned around and opened the door. He walked out quickly without any composure. He even forgot to close the door and disappeared in front of Lin Sishen's eyes in a blink of an eye.
The cold wind outside the house poured in, creaking the door.
Lin Sishen tightly held the wooden box in his hand and looked at the open door. The cold wind blew into her body and made her body cold. She stared at the door without saying a word for a long time before finally moving forward and closing the door.
