Chapter 360 360
After Lin Siluo left with the excuse, Lin Sitao stayed there and chatted with Lin Sishen and Chen Qingwan for a few words. Lin Sishen happened to inform Lin Sitao of Sun Wenqian being hidden here.
Lin Sitao also heard about Sun Wenqian's death, so when he learned that Sun Wenqian was hiding in the house, he immediately said in surprise: "I came here this morning and found something strange. I guess you must have hidden someone in that house, but I never expected that he was a dead person."
Lin Sishen pondered thoughtfully and said, "Actually, it's not wrong to say that it's a dead person. He is indeed the same as a dead person now."
"What the hell is going on?"
Lin Sitao looked at Lin Sishen and Shen Qingwan in surprise, and couldn't help asking: "In recent days, Sun Wenqian's death in the capital has caused a lot of controversy. He heard that His Majesty ordered the Imperial Hospital to investigate Sun Wenqian's body and allowed two coroners to perform autopsy. Why did he come back from the dead?"
Lin Sishen shrugged and explained truthfully: "It's very simple. I want him to pretend to die first, and then stole him with a corpse for fake exchange."
After Sun Wenqian pretended to die, the head of the institute, Master Shi, did investigate Sun Wenqian's "corpse". However, that night, Lin Sishen took the opportunity to replace Sun Wenqian with a body similar to Sun Wenqian's body and a disguised corpse.
The body that the coroner then cut open was not Sun Wenqian, but a person who died of a sudden illness and had an unknown identity.
As for how Sun Wenqian pretended to die and how he could be resurrected from the dead, it was naturally Chen Qingwan's contribution.
After learning about this, Lin Sitao did not understand why Lin Sishen tried his best to make Sun Wenqian fake death. Lin Sishen took the opportunity to explain the interests of Sun Wenqian's second prince, the fourth prince, and the three, as well as Nan Xiangqin's life experience.
However, Lin Sishen concealed some things, including Longling, and she only used Sun Wenqian's handle to pass by.
Although Lin Sitao ignored the matter outside the window for a long time, he had been clear-headed and clear-headed. He quickly understood Lin Sishen's intention, but he became increasingly worried about Lin Sishen's safety.
He looked at Lin Sishen worriedly and frowned: "Shen'er, Sun Wenqian's death will inevitably cause the fourth prince to be dissatisfied. I'm just afraid that he will secretly investigate this matter. Once you find out, I'm afraid..."
Lin Sishen curled his lips and smiled, turned his head to look at Chen Qingwan, who was smiling beside him without saying a word, blinked at her, and said meaningfully: "I'm not afraid of him being entangled, but I'm afraid that he will give up on investigation."
Lin Sitao thought about it for a long time but couldn't understand it. He hesitated and asked, "Shen'er, what do you mean?"
Lin Sishen did not answer Lin Sitao's questions, but smiled and mentioned another thing: "Brother, I plan to tell my father and mother about my second brother."
Lin Sitao was stunned for a moment, looked happy, and said in disbelief: "Take it serious?"
Lin Sishen nodded and said with a complicated expression: "I think it's time. My grandmother's energy has been getting worse recently, so this matter cannot be delayed."
Lin Sitao frowned and nodded in response, "You are right. You must not delay this matter. However, we will say a prophet to make him prepare."
Lin Sishen took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Let the eldest brother and the second brother mention this matter. If the second brother agrees, we will find another opportunity to take the second brother back home next day."
-------------------------------------
Lin Sishen followed the promise to deal with Sun Wenqian's future troubles, whether it was to win over or appease the second prince, the second prince also planned to keep his promise and protect Lin Sile's benefactor from the Prime Minister of Laos.
However, in order to continue to control Lin Sishen, he did not let the old woman go. After sending the old woman back to his hometown, the second prince sent many people to take care of her, in the name of protection, because he was afraid that the Prime Minister of Laos would secretly attack the old woman.
He didn't know how Lin Sishen knew about his thoughts, but at least on his face, Lin Sishen did not show any resentment, but respectfully thanked the second prince and expressed his loyalty sincerely.
As for the fourth prince, since Chen Qingwan told him the secret of Longling, he kept sending people to Longyou, trying to find out where the Longling was and find the second prince's secretly stationed troops.
As soon as Sun Wenqian died, the undercurrent of the capital seemed to have returned to a brief calm. The second and fourth princes, who were tense, did not confront each other as before in the court, but seemed to have stopped under the emperor's intentional reconciliation.
But Lin Sishen knew that all this was just the tranquility before the storm, but she was willing to enjoy this moment of tranquility. She hurried to the palace to meet Chen Qingwan and Ju'an every day.
During this period, Lin Sishen came to the royal palace for extra time than staying in the general's mansion, and he simply regarded the royal palace as his home. The Ninth Prince was extremely dissatisfied with this. It would be fine if Lin Sishen just came to see Ju'an, after all, she was Ju'an's father.
But the Ninth Prince suspected that Lin Sishen had ulterior motives, so he stayed at Shen Qingwan's place on the excuse of visiting Ju'an. It would be fine if he stayed in the palace for lunch, but he had to stay for dinner. After dinner, he was slow to leave.
Fortunately, the Ninth Prince was careful and every day he would pat Uncle Zhong to inquire. If he saw that Lin Sishen had not left yet, he would personally come to drive people with a dark face and escort Lin Sishen out of the mansion.

However, what the Ninth Prince didn't know was that Lin Sishen usually took a turn from the royal palace, then flipped in from the royal palace's back kitchen, and sneaked into Chen Qingwan's boudoir.
The secret guards of the royal palace have long been used to it. Not only will they not stop Lin Sishen, they will also provide cover for Lin Sishen. When the patrol guards come, they will also quietly remind Lin Sishen to let her avoid it.
At noon that day, the servant was serving dishes in an orderly manner. The Ninth Prince sat in the main seat with a expressionless face, as if he was flipping through the account book seriously, but in fact he had been staring at Lin Sishen, who was holding Juanzhi and playing.
The two of them were whispering softly, laughing secretly from time to time, looking extremely happy.
But this made the Ninth Prince suffer. Before Lin Sishen came to the palace, except Chen Qingwan, Ju'an was the most attached to his grandfather. Since Lin Sishen often came to the palace, Ju'an has become increasingly intimate with her. He muttered and called her father when he had something to do, so that the elderly Ninth Prince would have a good taste of the surging sea of jealousy.
The more he looked at Juan, who was almost disappearing when he was smiling while holding Lin Sishen's neck, the more he felt uneasy. He snorted heavily, attracted the attention of Lin Sishen and Juan, and then threw the account book in his hand to the ground, asking the housekeeper Zhongbo who was beside him: "You are responsible for the expenses of the royal palace on weekdays. I have never been concerned about it, but now the Japanese king found clues by himself. Why did the food and clothing cost in the mansion increase several times this month? Could it be that you, an old slave, have filled your own pockets?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Bo hurriedly knelt down and shouted injustice: "The prince is wronged, and the old slave has always recorded all the expenses in the mansion in detail in the account. He dared not take even a penny."
The prince stood up in anger: "Then what's going on? You servant are not telling the truth. If you hadn't been filling your pockets, why did the food and clothing expenses in the past month have increased several times than before?"
Seeing this, Lin Sishen couldn't remain indifferent. She coughed lightly and put Ju'an down, stood up and raised her smile, trying to smooth things over: "Prince..."
But after calling the prince, the uncle Zhong, who was kneeling on the ground, turned his head to look at her, raised his hand and said with a grievance: "Prince, I'm afraid I'm going to ask Lord Lin."
Lin Sishen froze on his face with a confused look on his face: "Ah..."
The Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows and stared at Lin Sishen with his hands behind his back and said, "How can you blame Lord Lin? Could it be that she is filling her pockets?"
Bo Zhong waved his hand quickly when he heard this: "Not that, it's just that this month Lord Lin often stayed in the mansion for meals. The adults had to salvage the fish from Dongting overnight. The pastries had to be bought at Linglongzhai. Even the most common vegetables had to be picked outside the city and were freshly stained with dew...."
Listening to Bo Zhong's fingers erecting the score, Lin Sishen was completely confused. She interrupted Bo Zhong's words urgently: "Brother Zhong, don't blame me. When did I explain to you like this? What fish and pastries, I don't know where they are produced."
Bo Zhong raised his eyes and looked at the Ninth Prince who was stroking his beard and explained in a low voice: "This...this is all instructed by the princess."
Sure enough, when he heard the ninth prince's face, he suddenly became a little darker. He was jealous, snorted coldly, stared at Lin Sishen dissatisfiedly and said, "Mr. Lin's appetite is indeed crooked. This little prince's mansion is almost unable to support you."
Originally lying on a sandalwood chair, she tilted her head and looked at the three of them with a blank look on her face. When she heard the words "can't support" her eyes suddenly lit up. She staggered to the ninth prince, stood on tiptoe and pulled the corner of his clothes, and called out in a slight voice: "Grandpa~"
The Ninth Prince lowered his head and saw the little dumpling in front of him. His dark face suddenly showed a kind smile. He leaned over and hugged Ju'an in his arms, touched her little head, and asked softly: "What's wrong, my little Ju'an, is he hungry?"
Juan shook his head, gestured in the ninth prince's arms for a while, and then said seriously: "Dad is so much gold, so I can support the Empress and Juan."
When the Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lin Sishen: "Is that so? Your father said such things."
Lin Sishen pulled open the corners of his lips and smiled awkwardly, lowered his head and coughed lightly: "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously, your lord."
Ju An tilted his head seriously and thought about what the Ninth Prince said, and even added casually: "Dad and the Empress hide and seek on the tatami, there are so many golds."
As soon as these words came out, the air in the hall condensed instantly.
Lin Sishen was still dead and did not dare to raise his head. A layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on her forehead. She felt that the gaze in front of her was like a sword, staring at her desperately, as if she could peel off her bones in the next second.
"Prince, the child speaks without any hesitation."
