Chapter 325 325
Meng Yange left with great determination, leaving without looking back as if he had no nostalgia, leaving Lin Sishen standing alone in the same place with regret. She looked at the direction where Meng Yange left for a long time, then sighed and shook her head, turned around and left.
Lin Sishen did not have the intention to sigh more, and hurriedly rushed to make an appointment with the second prince.
This time, it was still Liu Ce, the second prince's adviser to meet him. When Lin Sishen hurried to Liu Ce's hiding place, the second prince had already been waiting for a long time.
There were sword-holding guards everywhere in the small yard. As soon as Lin Sishen entered the door, they stared at Lin Sishen in a straight manner, alerting her every move.
This is different from the past. When Lin Sishen came in the past, most of the guards brought by the second prince were hidden in the dark, but this time they appeared together, which shows that this was the second prince's warning to her.
As soon as Lin Sishen walked through the patio, the door in front of him was quietly opened. Liu Ce stood in front of the door wearing a patched cloth, looking like an ordinary civilian.
As soon as he saw Lin Sishen, Liu Ce slowly bowed his hands, smiling and said in a gentle tone: "Young Master Lin is fine."
A cold light flashed through Lin Sishen's eyes, and in an instant she returned to normal. She quickly stepped forward and leaned over and bowed, "SiShen has seen Mr. Liu."
Liu Ce narrowed his eyes and smiled, turned sideways and made way and signaled: "Young Master Lin is so polite. Your Highness has been waiting in the house for a long time. You should go and meet Your Highness quickly."
Lin Sishen pulled the black scarf off the bottom and slowly stepped into the house. He saw the second prince standing in front of the window with his back facing her. He was wearing a black robe, only a golden crown with his hair tied out, and an indescribable majesty was filled with his whole body.
Lin Sishen took a deep breath, raised a smile on his face, quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, and said aloud: "Lin Sishen has seen His Highness the Second Prince."
The second prince seemed to have not heard Lin Sishen speak, and turned his back to her indifferently, as if he did not intend to pay attention to Lin Sishen. His posture was quite oppressive.
The second prince did not speak, and Lin Sishen could only bow and bow his hand and could not look up. Liu Ce, who was beside him, looked at her without saying a word, and did not speak to help Lin Sishen. He just stood quietly aside and looked at the scene in front of him without any concern.
The house was quiet. As time passed, the second prince still did not turn around or speak. Lin Sishen didn't know how long he had been standing in such a low posture, but he felt really a little sore in his waist and numb.
Seeing this, Liu Ce finally walked up to the second prince and said respectfully, "Your Highness, Mr. Lin is still waiting aside..."
The second prince turned around and swept Lin Sishen lightly, walked slowly by Lin Sishen, and sat down at the table behind her, picked up the teacup slowly, and finally spoke: "Mr. Lin, don't be stubborn, get up quickly."
Lin Sishen stood up straight, turned around and lowered his eyes and said softly: "Thank you, Your Highness."
The second prince played with the tea cup in his hand, glanced at Lin Sishen coldly from the corner of his eyes, and spoke sarcastically: "What's the point of taking the time to see me in my busy schedule?"
Lin Sishen took a deep breath after hearing this and said quietly: "Report to Your Highness, Sishen came to apologize to Your Highness."
The second prince snorted coldly when he heard this, turned around and stared at Lin Sishen, pretending to be surprised: "Apology? Why did Lord Lin commit crimes?"
Lin Sishen made a very low gesture. She lowered her head and said softly: "SiShen should not be displeased by a woman. She has never come to apologize to Your Highness earlier."
The second prince pretended to be confused with understanding: "I don't know what Lord Lin means."
Lin Sishen knew that the second prince could not be passed by her lowered attitude. After thinking for a while, she simply gave the second prince some sweetness and told the story of the fourth prince colluding with Wen Xingren a few days ago and designing to frame Chen Qingwan.
Lin Sishen knew that the second prince was trying his best to win over Chen Qingwan, but at the same time she was also suspicious of Chen Qingwan's intention. Therefore, she deliberately revealed this matter to the second prince, first to show that she had no collusion with the fourth prince, disrupting the fourth prince's deployment for Chen Qingwan, and second to make the second prince relax his vigilance against Chen Qingwan.
As expected, the second prince looked relaxed after hearing this. He frowned and slapped the table, stood up and stared at Lin Sishen, and asked sternly: "Is there such a thing? Lord Lin, this matter is related to the innocence of Sister Qing Wan. You must not talk nonsense."
Lin Sishen trembled and hurriedly leaned over and said, "This matter involves the fourth prince. Sishen dares not speak nonsense. If your highness doesn't believe it, you can go and sing the princess's words."
The fourth prince is still investigating the case of Wen Xingren being assassinated outside the city. Lin Sishen and Shen Qingwan appeared outside the city again on the same day. This is probably not a coincidence. The second prince also suspected that this matter was related to Lin Sishen.
Now Lin Sishen admitted in front of him that he had hurt Wen Xingren, and said something inside that he didn't know. It was reasonable and evidence-based, but it was groundless.
If this matter is true, it will confirm that Chen Qingwan and the fourth prince had a quarrel.
The second prince was delighted, but there was no strangeness on his face. He frowned and walked around the house, sighed and said, "My sister Qing Wan is the daughter of the Ninth Emperor, and the cousin of the king and the fourth brother. If the fourth brother really colluded with outsiders to frame Qing Wan's sister's innocence, this move would be shameful and hateful."
Lin Sishen nodded and said angrily: "It's a pity that the fourth prince planned everything in advance and destroyed the evidence of the crime later. He also came to the door several times to bite him back. If the princess hadn't come forward to prove it, Sishen would have been framed and imprisoned by the fourth prince."
Lin Sishen used this matter to try his best to clear the involvement between him and the fourth prince, and even revealed that he was incompatible with the fourth prince, just because he wanted the second prince to believe that he would never stand on the fourth prince's side.
The second prince looked at her thoughtfully, and couldn't help but think about it in his heart.
In fact, since the incident in Longyou, the only trace of trust that the second prince had in Lin Sishen completely disappeared, and now there is only suspicion and dissatisfaction. In his opinion, no matter how capable Lin Sishen is, he is just a disobedient pawn. Since he has a strange intention, he must be ruined in case she is used by others and threatens herself.
Originally, he did plan to deal with Lin Sishen, but before he could do it, the direction of the stroke of the morning changed. Chen Qingwan, who had always been with the fourth prince, suddenly came to visit him, and there seemed to be a rift with the fourth prince in his words, and there was a possibility of turning to support him.
The power behind Chen Qingwan is extremely reliable. Although the Nine Emperor Uncle is in the capital, he firmly controls Qingzhou. As long as he can successfully win over Chen Qingwan, the Nine Emperor Uncle will definitely fall to him. Not only that, Chen Qingwan is also a big celebrity in front of his father, and his father can be said to have a green eye for this niece.
Chen Qingwan had a husband-wife relationship with Lin Sishen at least, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Chen Qingwan seemed to have not yet dissatisfied with Lin Sishen. The second prince wanted to win over Chen Qingwan, but for Shen Qingwan's sake, he would naturally let Lin Sishen go.
Lin Sishen asked for a meeting today. The second prince didn't want to see her, but Liu Ce lobbies aside and asked him to see Lin Sishen for a while and see what she wanted to say.
Now it seems that Lin Sishen has indeed gained something when he sees this trip.
But he didn't fully trust Lin Sishen, and there was still a hint of vigilance in his heart. He slowly sat down, his attitude was gentler than just now. He didn't want to go around with Lin Sishen anymore, so he asked straight to the point: "Mr. Lin came to see me specifically today, just to tell me this?"
Lin Sishen stepped forward and bowed and said, "Sishen is here to apologize to Your Highness. He has offended him in the past. I hope your Highness will not remember the villain's fault."
The second prince nodded, waved his sleeves and said, "I know, it's too late. If Lord Lin has nothing to do, please step down and go back to rest. I should almost go back home."
Lin Sishen nodded: "In this way, Sishen will take his leave."
After saying that, Lin Sishen looked up at Liu Ce who had been silent and nodded, and nodded. Liu Ce smiled at her and said warmly: "Sir Lin, walk slowly."
Seeing that the second prince lowered his eyes and said nothing, Lin Sishen turned around and said hesitantly, "Second Prince, Sishen has something else..."
The second prince raised his eyes and glanced at her, then said, "Let me say it."
Lin Sishen coughed lightly, took a deep breath and bowed, "My mother heard that there were lotus orchids planted in the second prince's mansion a few days ago. She was quite eager for her. I wonder if Sishen could come with her mother to see her tomorrow? It would be better to give her mother a wish."
When he said this, Lin Sishen kept looking at the expressions of the second prince and Liu Ce from the corner of his eyes.
The second prince frowned slightly, as if he was a little surprised, and nodded and said, "Since the general's wife also has the same interests as me, how can I be stingy? Lord Lin will bring his mother to the door tomorrow. I should accompany you in person."
Liu Ce was even more calm and calm, and there was no sign of any abnormality.
Lin Sishen closed his eyes and thanked him respectfully, and then slowly walked out of the wooden house. After walking away, Lin Sishen quietly turned around and looked at the courtyard in the distance, and breathed a sigh of relief with his frown.
After meeting the second prince today, Lin Sishen was almost sure that it was not the second prince who sent someone to attack Li Luo. Now he seemed to be thinking about trying to win over Chen Qingwan, and it was unlikely that he would attack her. Since the second prince did not want to completely turn against her, how could he send someone to assassinate Li Luo?
But the strangest thing is that almost all the evidence found by Lin Sishen pointed to the second prince.
Could it be that there is someone else behind this scene? I deliberately lead her to doubt the second prince?
In this way, the most suspicious person is not the second prince, but the fourth prince. But if it is really him, then what exactly does he want to do?
After thinking for a while, Lin Sishen did not stop anymore and turned around and rushed straight towards the royal palace.
