Lin Sishen does not feel that she is a kind-hearted person. She has taken many lives on her hands over the years and has never felt guilty about it. If she goes to the battlefield in the future, she will not show mercy to the Lao people.
But the two children are different after all. They are too young and too innocent. Even if Lin Sishen knew that they were going to die, she would still feel guilty and uneasy if she was allowed to be the ruthless executioner and took their lives with her own hands.
What's more, it was the first time her hands were stained with blood.
The nightmare from the past was brought up again today, and Lin Sishen still felt that everything was just like last night. Her face was pale and her body was shaking. She knew she shouldn't show such a cowardly look in front of Shen Qinghan, but she still couldn't suppress the trembling and uneasiness that surged into her heart.
After all, she was still too soft-hearted. Shen Qingwan looked at Lin Sishen's pale, sickly face with hollow and helpless eyes, and sighed softly. At this time, Lin Sishen was like a child who had done something wrong and blamed himself for it.
Shen Qingwan leaned forward and hugged her. His white jade hands under his wide sleeves went around Lin Sishen's back and caressed her gently. Lin Sishen subconsciously reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and buried his head in hers. around the neck.
She really needed some comfort at the moment, and Shen Qinghan's behavior was gentle and caring without any malice, so Lin Sishen's guard against her was quietly removed. She closed her eyes and hugged Shen Qinghan without saying a word, absorbing the comfort in her body. A gentle warmth that makes people feel at ease and calm.
Although Shen Qingwan said nothing, a timely hug was worth a thousand words.
Shen Qingwan turned her head and looked at Lin Sishen, who was holding her quietly in his arms. She bit her red lips gently with her white teeth. The clear light in her eyes suddenly became hazy, as if she was suddenly thrown into a lake of stones. There are microwave ripples.
The smell on Lin Sishen's body was as light as a bamboo leaf. Only when you get very close can you smell the faint fragrance. It is not annoying at all, but makes people unable to help but be obsessed with the elegant and faint smell.
Neither of them spoke.
Lin Sishen closed her eyes and buried her head on Shen Qingwan's neck as if she was asleep. The hot breath exhaled from her mouth and nose sprayed on the fair and smooth skin, dyeing it a beautiful light pink.
The room was so silent that only the breathing of the two of them could be heard. When Lin Sishen was in Shen Qinghan's arms and her troubled thoughts gradually calmed down, she realized later that she was having an unobstructed relationship with Shen Qinghan. They hugged each other, and she was shocked.
He hurriedly opened his eyes, and his long and dense eyelashes brushed against Shen Qinghan's neck.
Their breathing stopped almost at the same time.
Lin Sishen held Shen Qinghan motionless, not knowing whether to let go or continue to hold her. She was upset that she was so close to Shen Qinghan when she just lost her mind. But she was hugging Shen Qinghan's weak and boneless body. , her heart beat faster for some reason, and she was reluctant to let go.
Fortunately, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house, and Lin Sishen and Shen Qinghan released their hands at the same time and took two steps back.
Lin Sishen lowered his head, raised his eyes with a reddish face and glanced at Shen Qinghan secretly. Shen Qinghan had her eyes lowered like hers, with a calm expression on her cold face. The only thing on her neck that Lin Sishen had just touched was , that jade-white skin has a light color.
There were three intermittent knocks on the door. Shen Qinghan turned her head, opened her lips and asked, "What's the matter?"
Mo Zhu, who was standing outside the door, replied respectfully: "Princess, the prince is here. He is now in the hall with General Lin."
Lin Sishen stood aside without saying a word, her head bowed, not knowing what to say. After Shen Qinghan asked Lan Qing to step back, she calmed down, coughed slightly and raised her head as if nothing had happened.
The corner of Shen Qingwan's lips curled up, and he looked at her with a half-smile: "You come with me to see my father."
Lin Sishen was absent-minded along the way, following Shen Qingwan in a fuzzy state. What happened in the room just now seemed to be engraved in her mind, the feeling of Shen Qingwan's soft body in her arms, the softness of her cheeks The smooth touch that rubs against Shen Qingwan's skin.
Lin Sishen later realized that his body and face were getting hot and red, and his legs seemed to be stepping on cotton, as if they were about to fly in the next second.
It’s really worthless, didn’t it just give me a hug? Why does it seem like I’m floating up to the sky?
Lin Sishen blushed and lowered her head and cursed secretly to herself. When she arrived in the hall, she saw General Lin and the Ninth Prince. Lin Sishen still didn't dare to look at Shen Qinghan. She was afraid of seeing the vague expression on Shen Qinghan's face. He smiled, fearing that his embarrassment would make Shen Qinghan laugh at him even more.
The Ninth Prince's eyes fell on Lin Sishen. He felt that his son-in-law was a little strange today. He kept following his daughter with a red face and lowered head, like a good daughter-in-law. He also seemed a little absent-minded when greeting him.
The Ninth Prince frowned and stroked his beard, stared at Lin Sishen and asked, "Are you sick?"
Lin Sishen heard the words and shook her head: "No." After she finished speaking, she noticed Shen Qinghan's gaze next to her. She coughed slightly, cupped her hands and smiled as if nothing had happened, "Thank you for your concern, father-in-law. My son-in-law is fine."
The Ninth Prince glanced at her and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why is a grown man so coy and coquettish like a young girl in her spring?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall had different expressions. General Lin grimaced and coughed heavily, obviously he was particularly dissatisfied with the Ninth Prince's comments about Lin Sishen.
Lin Sishen was indeed a little out of sorts today. She took a deep breath and raised her head. At least her expression finally returned to calm. She chuckled lightly and glanced at Shen Qingwan as if nothing had happened.
But I saw Shen Qingwan standing next to the Ninth Prince, asking the Ninth Prince softly with the same expression: "Father, why did you come so early today."
The Ninth Prince had a smile on his face and looked at Shen Qingwan with extremely fond eyes: "Huan'er, my father hasn't seen you for a few days. I came here to see you earlier today. Is it possible that you still blame your father?" The king is here early."
Shen Qingwan shook her head, held the Ninth Prince's arm and said: "Of course not, it's not too late to see the father and daughter happy."
The Ninth Prince raised his head and laughed loudly, stood up and said: "Let's go, take father to Liuguang Pavilion and see if you need to buy anything else."
General Lin stood up after hearing this: "Your Majesty, you are free to walk around in the General's Mansion. I have something to say to Shen'er, so I won't disturb the gathering of Your Majesty and Princess."
Lin Sishen watched the Ninth Prince and Shen Qingwan leave the hall. She turned around with a complicated expression and happened to meet General Lin's slightly playful eyes.
Lin Sishen's expression froze, and he asked with a sneer: "Father, you...do you have anything to say to the child?"
General Lin looked at Lin Sishen with a squinted smile. Those surprisingly bright eyes made Lin Sishen feel uneasy for no reason.
Sure enough, after General Lin hesitated for a while, he stretched out his hand to beckon Lin Sishen to come closer. When she came closer, General Lin lowered his voice and asked, "Shen'er, it's been two months since you and the princess were married."
Lin Sishen guessed what General Lin was going to ask. She nodded with a complicated expression and said, "Yes."
General Lin coughed lightly and hinted: "Look, it's time for our General's Palace to have a new member. Your grandmother has been talking about having a great-grandson in her arms all day long."
Lin Sishen knew that General Lin was going to ask about this matter, so she lowered her eyes and whispered perfunctorily: "Why are you in such a hurry for something like this?"
General Lin raised his eyebrows and slapped the table in dissatisfaction: "Why are you so impatient? When my father was your age, your eldest and second brothers could already walk."
Upon hearing this, Lin Sishen promptly changed the subject to Lin Sitao. She took a step forward and said, "Father, it's time for eldest brother to get married at his age. We can't let him stay alone in the yard all day long."
When talking about Lin Sitao's life events, General Lin frowned. He sighed and said: "Your eldest brother should have gotten married long ago, but you also know his temper. Over the years, I have found many marriages for him and he has always rejected them.
.Seeing that he is already 30 years old, he has not yet gotten married and started a family."
Lin Sishen brought the topic to Lin Sitao, but her own affairs were confused. She sighed and said quietly: "The eldest brother has a stubborn temper and is picky. Father should find more families for him. Maybe the eldest brother will choose that one."
My lady."
General Lin nodded and said, "I'm going to find your mother and ask her to invite all the famous matchmakers in the capital tomorrow. Your eldest brother's life-long affairs must be decided as soon as possible and can't be delayed any longer."
After speaking, General Lin hurried away, and Lin Sishen stayed alone in the hall and breathed a sigh of relief.
The old lady and General Lin have always hoped that she and Shen Qinghan can carry on the family line for the general's mansion, but she is really powerless in this matter. Facing the urging and expectations of her elders, she can only change the topic to her eldest brother every time.
Muddle through.

Seeing nightfall, Lin Sishen followed the Ninth Prince Shen Qinghan into the carriage and drove to the palace to attend Mrs. Chen's birthday.
In the past, Lin Sishen would accompany General Lin to the palace for a banquet every year on the emperor's birthday, so she was no stranger to the palace. In the night, the palace not far away was brightly lit, as if half the sky was lit up.
In comparison, the faint lights dotted outside the palace walls were like the stars holding the moon, much dimmed.
Lin Sishen opened the curtain, and the street was crowded with people. Most of these people had dinner and went to the night market. The streets were lined with vendors setting up stalls, and they were walking around with customers who came forward to inquire.
bargain.
Because there were so many people on the street, the carriage moved very slowly.
Although the street was noisy, it was still full of life. Lin Sishen looked at the various crowds with interest and did not lower the car curtain for a long time.
Shen Qingwan was sitting in the same carriage with her. She was sitting upright in the dim carriage. Her dark eyes fell on Lin Sishen's side face with a lazy smile, and her eyes flickered.
Lin Sishen watched for a long time before finally lowering the car curtain and sitting up straight. Shen Qinghan beside him asked quietly: "When will you go to the wine shop you took me to last time again?"
Lin Sishen reacted instantly. She turned her head and looked at Shen Qinghan in surprise, and asked softly: "The princess said, is it the wine shop that sells bamboo leaf greens?"
Shen Qinghan nodded and said in a soft voice: "I remember that the Bamboo Leaf Green in that wine shop was pretty good."
Lin Sishen thought for a moment, and she had never been to that wine shop since she took Shen Qingwan there last time. She chuckled and said, "If the princess wants to go, it's better to choose a day and come from the palace." Let’s go there once we get back from school.”
Shen Qingwan curled her lips and responded softly: "Okay."
After that, neither of them spoke. Lin Sishen pursed her lips and didn't know what to say. After today's incident, the atmosphere between them seemed a little strange.
Lin Sishen took a deep breath, and the hand hanging by her side slowly tightened uncontrollably. She lowered her head and leaned against the car in trance, remembering the hug with Shen Qingwan again.
When she was lost in thought, Shen Qinghan opened her lips again and asked, "Besides me, have you ever taken anyone else there?"
"Never." Lin Sishen subconsciously answered without hesitation. She turned her head and looked at Shen Qinghan's slightly raised lips, and added: "I only went there with the princess."
Shen Qingwan lowered her eyes and said softly: "Very good."
What does "very good" mean? Is it because the Bamboo Leaf Green in that wine shop is very good, or is it because she has only been there with Shen Qinghan, so it is very good? Lin Sishen looked at Shen Qinghan blankly, a little confused.
Soon the carriage arrived in front of the palace gate. Lin Sishen and Shen Qingwan got out of the carriage, and the Ninth Prince also came over.
Only the emperor and the prince can ride chariots in the palace. Even if the ninth prince is the biological brother of the emperor's mother, he is not qualified to drive in the palace.
The palace where the birthday banquet was held for Concubine Chen was the Qiming Palace where Concubine Chen lived. The Qiming Palace, which used to be cold in the past, was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and there were countless maids and eunuchs serving it. It looked very lively.
When Lin Sishen followed the ninth prince Shen Qingwan into the main hall, there were already many people in the hall. In addition to a few princes whom Lin Sishen had met, there were also some princesses, princesses, emperors, princes and princes whom Lin Sishen had never seen before. , all of whom have not yet appeared.
Lin Sishen only took a careful glance and found that there were no less than ten young and beautiful women in gorgeous clothes in the palace, gathering together in a group without knowing what to say. From time to time, there was a burst of delicate laughter.
As soon as Shen Qingwan and Lin Sishen entered the palace, they attracted a lot of attention.
Princess Qingyao came up with several other princesses. After exchanging a few words with Shen Qinghan, she turned her attention to Lin Sishen, looked at her for a few times, covered her lips and said with a smile, "This is the princess of Sister Wen'er." Ma, the young master of the General’s Mansion?”
Looking at her from top to bottom, Lin Sishen smiled and held his hands, saluting in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "Sishen has met several princesses."
Lin Sishen's feminine and handsome face was indeed attractive enough, and she always had a smile on her face. She was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was courteous. Several princesses unanimously set their eyes on her.
"Sister Wen'er's county horse is more beautiful than me."
"Indeed, among our cousins, Sister Wen'er's Junma is the most handsome. I really envy others."
Among the several princesses, Princess Qingyao was the most outgoing and bold. After staring at Lin Sishen for a few times, she suddenly smiled softly and raised her hand to touch Lin Sishen's face: "She is so handsome, no wonder I heard People say that the most beautiful young master in our capital is the young master from General Lin’s family.”
Lin Sishen didn't expect Princess Qingyao to be so bold. She frowned quietly and turned her head slightly to avoid the hand that touched her face.
Seeing that she had escaped, Princess Qingyao did not give up. Instead, she took a step forward and raised her hand to touch her, saying angrily: "Young Master is the husband-in-law of Sister Huner, so you should follow her and call me cousin. Why are you so shy?"
Shen Qingwan on the side curled her lips coldly, and a dark light flashed in her eyes. She reached out and grabbed Princess Qingyao's hand. She glanced at Lin Sishen from the corner of her eye and said lightly: "Sishen, take it for me. a glass of wine."
Fortunately, Shen Qingwan smoothed things over for her, and Lin Sishen agreed and hurriedly walked away, getting out of the strong smell of powder.
In fact, the reputations of the several princesses in the capital were not very good. Because they were born into the royal family and had a noble status, they relied on their temperament to boss around their respective princesses, and they even blatantly maintained faces in their houses.
Although the old emperor had a suspicious temper, he was extremely protective of the royal family. Because of his connivance, these princesses and princesses were able to act unscrupulously and show no restraint.
He even dared to touch Lin Sishen in front of Shen Qinghan. Compared with him, Shen Qinghan was like a cool fairy who did not touch fireworks.
Looking at the well-dressed and frivolous princesses, Lin Sishen was extremely glad that the old emperor had promised Shen Qingwan to her. If it had been someone else, she probably wouldn't have been able to handle it at all.
It wasn't until the old emperor appeared together with Mrs. Chen, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince that the people in the hall became quiet and didn't dare to do anything wrong again.
During the banquet, Lin Sishen was bored and sat in the corner of the hall with several consorts. Although they were considered relatives of the emperor, in the end they were only related to the royal family by relying on the princess. The seat they sat in was also in the corner, far away. The emperor, prince and prince are far away.
Lin Sishen listened to the county horses talking about the interesting things that happened in the capital recently. Their voices were very low. When they were talking and no one was paying attention, they boldly talked about the new beautiful girls in Ningxiang Tower. .
Lin Sishen listened to everything and didn't interrupt. She didn't expect that the royal banquet could be so boring. She took a sip from the wine glass and suddenly noticed that a gaze was falling on her.
She raised her eyes and saw Princess Qingyao not far away, holding a wine glass to her from a distance, with a meaningful smile on her face that was a little too pale.
Lin Sishen stiffened and quickly turned his head away, feeling suspicious in his heart.
Just as she was muttering secretly, she suddenly heard a county horse laughing quietly from the side: "If you ask me, how can those rouge and popular fans compare to Princess Qingyang."
The others raised their lips in unison and laughed secretly. The harsh laughter made Lin Sishen a little unhappy. She turned her head and looked, and saw a thin and handsome young man raising a glass to her. There was a hint of sinister smile on his face: " Mr. Lin is so lucky."
After drinking for three rounds, Lin Sishen left the main hall on the pretext of convenience and was led to the side hall by a palace maid.
After walking around the side hall, Lin Sishen discovered that there were many guards guarding almost every door outside the hall, and no one was allowed in or out.
After walking around in a circle, Lin Sishen turned back and saw a blind corner outside a hall, where she vaguely saw a figure.
In the dark corner, a pale face appeared. Lin Sishen was startled. Looking at it carefully, she realized that the person was Princess Qingyao. Her eyes fell on Lin Sishen. When Lin Sishen came closer, she looked like this. Then he chuckled and asked, "Where are Mr. Lin going?"
Lin Sishen stood a few steps away from Princess Qingyao and replied: "Get some fresh air and take a walk. I'm about to go back now."
Princess Qingyao walked up to her and looked up at her with an attentive smile on her face: "I'm afraid Mr. Lin is not familiar with me in this palace. If you want to go somewhere else, why don't you let me lead the way."
Lin Sishen responded perfunctorily: "Don't bother Princess Qingyao, Sishen is about to return to the palace."
There was no one around, and Lin Sishen didn't intend to be alone with her. He closed his head slightly and planned to leave. When he turned around, a hot hand suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her hard.
Lin Sishen didn't move at all. She turned around and looked at Princess Qingyao in surprise, frowned and asked in a deep voice: "What is Princess Qingyao going to do?"
Princess Qingyao's face was pale but her lips were painted scarlet, and the smell of powder on her body was pungent. She squinted at Lin Sishen and slowly said: "I have always envied Sister Hu'er. Not only is she the only daughter of Uncle Jiu, Even the emperor's uncle is very fond of her. I heard that she is also known as the most beautiful and talented woman in Qingzhou. When people in the world mention the princess, they only talk about Princess Qingyang."
Lin Sishen finally understood. It turned out that Princess Qingyao was jealous of Shen Qinghan, but when she pulled her like this, Lin Sishen felt goosebumps all over her body. She secretly used some strength to break free from Princess Qingyao's arms. hand.
Before she could relax, Princess Qingyao suddenly stood in front of her, looked at her with wide eyes, and said with a smile: "I always feel that sister Wen'er's things are much better than mine, even the county horse."
Lin Sishen looked at Princess Qingyao's nagging and weird expression. She was never familiar with Princess Qingyao, and she felt disgusted in her heart when she suddenly targeted her.
Lin Sishen took a step back and said, "Princess Qingyao seems to be drunk. Why don't Sishen call Brother Li to help the princess back to the palace."
"Just hold me, what do you want me to do?" Princess Qingyao was indeed a little drunk, she smiled coquettishly and was about to fall on Lin Sishen.
Lin Sishen quickly took another step back, the disgust on his face flashed across his face. Princess Qingyao didn't expect her to hide so quickly. She staggered and almost fell. After a slight hesitation, Lin Sishen reached out to help her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she grabbed Princess Qingyao's hand, Princess Qingyao fell into her arms. Lin Sishen pushed hard on her shoulders with both hands, trying to push her away with a pale face.
If I had known she wouldn't have come out, who would have known she would meet such a lunatic.
I don't know if it was because she was drunk, but Princess Qingyao's strength was frightening. When she grabbed Lin Sishen's arm, it was like an iron claw and it was painful. Lin Sishen didn't care about anything else and was about to push it away. Not far away. Suddenly, Shen Qingwan's voice came from somewhere, a cold sound.
"Lin Sishen."
Princess Qingyao, who was entangled with Lin Sishen, released her grip. Lin Sishen hurriedly stepped back. She looked up and saw Shen Qinghan standing in the corridor not far away, with a hint of anger in her clear eyes, staring coldly. she.
When Princess Qingyao saw Shen Qinghuan appear, she slapped her down and said with an innocent face: "Sister Huer is here, I almost fell down just now, but fortunately I was held up by Young Master Lin. After I stood firm, I wanted to avoid suspicion, but she insisted on catching me. Hold on to me and won’t let go.”
There was a dark line on Lin Sishen's face. She turned her head to look at Princess Qingyao. The woman who looked like a wolf just now actually looked pitiful and innocent now.
Shen Qingwen paid no attention to Princess Qingyao. He just glanced at Lin Sishen lightly and said, "Come here."
Hearing this, Lin Sishen ignored the crazy woman behind him and walked quickly to Shen Qinghan. She didn't explain anything, but just shrugged helplessly at Shen Qinghan.
Behind her, Princess Qingyao said sarcastically: "Sister Huer, please take good care of your horses."
Shen Qingwan's eyes fell on Lin Sishen, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a cold voice with some disgust: "Remember to take a bath and incense after returning home."
Lin Sishen knew that Shen Qinghan must believe in her, so she nodded hurriedly. She smiled at Shen Qinghan and said softly: "Okay."
After saying that, she followed Shen Qingwan into the palace, leaving Princess Qingyao with a cold face, staring at the two of them as they left.
