227
The sun was shining brightly and there was no cloud in the sky. The blue, green and black bamboos had been put away early. Shen Qinghan had already gotten up and disappeared, but Lin Sishen was still lying on the cloud couch and had not gotten up.
Mo Zhu walked around the screen and opened the wardrobe on the side. Then she got up from the cloud couch with a puzzled expression, yawned and asked, "Isn't it just a day trip? Why are you packing so many things?"
Mo Zhu took two robes for her and said without looking back: "The general has asked the head of the Ministry of War for leave on behalf of the young master. The young master will have to stay in Xichen Temple for three days to bathe and fast."
Lin Sishen was startled and said in surprise: "It takes three days?"
Lan Qing on the side took over the conversation and replied with a smile: "The old lady said that the princess and the princess are getting married for so long without any news, so she has to go to Xichen Temple to fast for a few days, follow the master to listen to Buddhist scriptures, and worship the Buddha carefully. Pray.”
Lin Sishen sat up and rubbed his dry eyes, and said with some helplessness: "I thought it would be enough to go only for one day, but I didn't know it would be so long to go for three days."
Mo Zhu kept packing his clothes and said calmly: "The old lady also specifically told me that if the young master comes to Xichen Temple, he must sleep in a separate room with the princess, and he must not do anything wrong under the nose of the Buddha."
Lin Sishen chuckled, her grandmother was really worried about her, and she had to give special instructions on such things.
She stretched and got up, shook her head angrily and amusedly, and said helplessly: "Grandma, it's true, I'm not that ignorant of propriety, so I have to give you instructions on such things."
Mo Zhu glanced at the lazy Lin Sishen, sighed softly and reminded: "Young master, please get up and wash up quickly. The carriage is already waiting at the door of the house."
Lin Sishen washed and dressed slowly. When he went out, he saw Shen Qinghan sitting down in the pavilion and drinking warm tea just like yesterday.
A woman in white clothes sits under the pavilion, her skin is as beautiful as snow, her eyebrows are picturesque, her eyes are like a clear spring, her whole body has a cold and aloof temperament, like a fairy who has fallen from the mortal world. As the light flows, you can faintly glimpse the cold and arrogant appearance. That hint of enchantment.
She only raised the hand pot to pour tea, but this was an ordinary move, but in the eyes of others, it was as beautiful as a beautiful picture scroll spread out in front of them.
Lin Sishen pursed her lips, pretended to be idle, walked closer, stood under the pavilion, coughed lightly and said hello: "The princess got up very early today."
Shen Qingwan's eyes were fixed on the clear tea soup in the teacup on the table, and she lightly opened her lips without raising her head and said: "I do this every day."
Her voice was as clear and clear as the tinkling spring water in the mountains, and there was a hint of coldness in it that made Lin Sishen shiver.
Lin Sishen didn't know what to say. She stood there in a dilemma, her eyes wandering around Shen Qinghan.
Shen Qingwen's temperament was the most unpredictable she had ever seen. One moment he might be smiling and looking forward to her, but the next moment he might be as cold as ice. The key is that Lin Sishen still doesn't know how to coax her.
Both teacups were filled with tea. Shen Qinghan pushed one of them aside with a calm expression.
When Lin Sishen saw this, the corners of his lips raised, he took three steps and sat next to Shen Qinghan. He turned his head and looked at Shen Qinghan's cold face, coughed lightly and said, "Yesterday, I went to Heming Tower to meet you. Li Qi and Princess Qingyao."
The white fingertips resting on the rim of the cup lightly stroked, Shen Qinghan raised his eyes to look at her and said calmly: "I know."
Lin Sishen sneered: "I knew I couldn't hide it from the princess."
She didn't want to talk to Shen Qinghan about Princess Qingyao, but Shen Qinghan had been cold and indifferent to her yesterday and today. Although he didn't want to be indifferent, looking at her cold face, Lin Sishen I feel unspeakable uneasiness in my heart.
She thought about it carefully last night. It seemed that the purpose of Li Qi and Princess Qingyao was to divide the relationship between herself and Shen Qinghan. If she really concealed it and planted the seeds of suspicion in Shen Qinghan's heart, wouldn't she have hit the target? Their intentions.
So today she still told her obediently that she went to see Li Qi and Princess Qingyao yesterday.
Shen Qingwen glanced across her face and said with his lips: "The spices used by Qingyao are somewhat unique. When you came back yesterday, your body was stained with her fragrance."
Lin Sishen lowered her eyes and smiled, sighing secretly in her heart. It seemed that no matter what she did or who she met, she could not hide it from Shen Qinghan's discernment. This feeling made her feel a little unreasonable.
She explained to Shen Qingwan: "The princess once reminded Si Shen to avoid Princess Qingyao if he saw her. Yesterday, Li Qi invited Princess Qingyao to meet her, which I didn't expect."
Shen Qingwan frowned slightly when he heard this: "Li Qi is very scheming, you need to be wary of him."
Lin Sishen remembered that he had seen Clivia beside Li Qi. After thinking for a moment, he said, "He secretly has dealings with the second prince."
Shen Qingwen's thin lips curled up slightly, and her cold expression seemed to have softened a bit. She nodded and said: "On the surface, this person is respectful and loyal to the prince and Princess Qingyao, but in fact, he has long been dissatisfied with them in his heart. He and the second prince Collusion is something I expected."
Lin Sishen took a sip of tea and whispered: "Father is also very dissatisfied with the prince these days. I think..."
Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in Shen Qingwan's eyes. She glanced at the screen wall calmly and interrupted Lin Sishen's words: "Lan Qing and Mo Zhu should have packed up. Husband, you should go and see if they left anything behind." What."
Lin Sishen also noticed the inquiring gaze behind her. She responded with a chuckle, then got up and walked outside the pavilion.
Sure enough, before she had taken a few steps, Liu Qingyun suddenly appeared from behind the screen wall. She looked haggard and gloomy, as if she had not had a good rest last night.
Liu Qingyun's eyes swept over Shen Qingwan, and then she called out to Lin Sishen in a deep voice: "Shen'er."
Lin Sishen turned around and looked at her, pretending to be surprised: "Why is mother here?"
Shen Qingwen then stood up, but Liu Qingyun waved his hand to her, indicating that she did not need to stand up: "I just want to say a few words to Shen'er, Princess, you don't have to be polite."
After saying that, he hurriedly pulled Lin Sishen out.
Lin Sishen's wrist felt stinging when she pinched her. She frowned and whispered, "Mother, tell me if you have anything to say. Why do you look so bad? What happened?"
Liu Qingyun pulled her out of Liuguang Pavilion and went straight back to the courtyard where Lin Sishen lived before. After entering the house and closing the door, he let go of her, stared at her with a stern face and scolded: "Stand still for me. , I have something to ask you."
Lin Sishen had never seen Liu Qingyun look so serious before. When Leng Buding saw her serious look, his heart skipped a beat, and an unknown premonition rose in his heart.
She stood still, looked at Liu Qingyun's gloomy face, and asked softly: "What happened?"
Liu Qingyun glared at her fiercely, her eyes red and trembling as she said, "If anything else happens, it's naturally your business."
Lin Sishen stood blankly and blinked, then raised his hand and touched Liu Qingyun's forehead: "Mother, what's wrong with you? I... I'm fine, nothing happened."
Liu Qingyun waved her hand away, looked at her confused look, gritted her teeth and said angrily: "You still don't know what happened to you? I tell you, it is a big deal. If I hadn't discovered it in time, , you will be ruined, do you know it?"
Lin Sishen's face suddenly became serious: "Mother, what are you talking about?"
Liu Qingyun sniffed and asked with red eyes: "Let me ask you, have you really forgotten your identity after pretending to be a man for so many years? How dare you be tempted by Shen Qinghan!"
"Infatuated?" Lin Sishen was stunned when he heard the words, and then said in surprise: "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I become interested in the commander?"
Lin Sishen's dazed and surprised look didn't look like he was faking it. Liu Qingyun touched the tears from the corners of her eyes and whispered: "The authorities are blind to the beholder. Don't you really realize that you treat Shen Qinghan differently from others?"
Lin Sishen sighed quietly, looking at Liu Qingyun's sad face, he couldn't bear to raise his sleeves to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said helplessly: "Mother, who did you listen to? I have always remembered my own for so many years. With your identity, how could you dare to take advantage of the county master?"
In fact, Liu Qingyun herself was not sure, but yesterday she secretly saw Lin Sishen looking at Shen Qinghan in Liuguang Pavilion. It was a look that she was familiar with and afraid of, very similar to the way she looked at Lin Zhen back then. .
She stayed up all night, thinking about that terrible hypothesis in her mind. She got up early this morning and found Lin Sishen, wanting to find out.
But Lin Sishen's words were firm and firm, which made her hesitate: "You really don't have one?"
Lin Sishen shook his head without hesitation: "Of course not."
Although she did admire Shen Qinghan very much and her attitude toward her was different from others, that was just because her relationship with Shen Qinghan was too complicated. They used each other but had to trust each other. No matter they were a couple on the surface, Still a private ally.
This was destined to make Lin Sishen treat her differently from others.
Liu Qingyun stared at her eyes, as if trying to find some dodge, but she only saw magnanimity and determination in Lin Sishen's eyes. She said hesitantly: "Since there is no such thing, then you swear."
Lin Sishen was stunned for a moment. What oath did her mother ask her to swear? She would never be tempted by Shen Qinghan, or she would never lie.
Liu Qingyun raised her hand and touched Lin Sishen's face. She was painful and annoyed, but she had to force Lin Sishen to swear: "Shen'er, it was my mother who hurt you back then and made you hide your identity for so many years. Now, my mother must not I can’t watch you take a wrong step. Mother wants you to swear that you will never have any intentions towards the governor, so that mother can feel at ease."
For so many years, Liu Qingyun has always been guilty of Lin Sishen, so the old lady turned a blind eye to Lin Sishen's indulgence. She has always tried her best to satisfy any request of Lin Sishen. As long as Lin Sishen wanted to do something, she would work hard to persuade General Lin. Even if Lin Sishen got into trouble. , she also tried her best to help Lin Sishen hide it.
But she was a mother after all. The gentle look Lin Sishen looked at Shen Qingwan yesterday was like a poisonous thorn piercing her heart, planting the seeds of doubt and fear.
Lin Sishen has been pretending to be a man for so many years, so she is not afraid that Lin Sishen will confuse her identity and really like a woman like a man. However, Lin Sishen has always been very sensible and has always made her feel at ease, so she used to have frequent interactions with Lin Sishen. Lou, there was never a trace of doubt.
Now this determination began to waver yesterday, and she felt unprecedented fear and regret.
Her biggest wish all along was not for the glory and wealth of the General's Mansion or for Lin Sitao to regain his strength, but for Lin Sishen to regain her status as soon as possible and, like an ordinary woman, marry, have children and enjoy the happiness of a family.
Liu Qingyun held Lin Sishen's face with red eyes, and begged in a low voice: "As long as you swear that in the next two years or so, you will not have a single thought about Shen Qingwen, and you will always remember your identity. "
Lin Sishen raised her hand and grabbed Liu Qingyun's wrist. She hesitated. Yes, when her mother asked her to swear, she hesitated for some reason.
The slightly pale thin lips pursed slightly, Lin Sishen lowered her eyes to cover up the dodgeful glint in her eyes, and whispered: "Mother, why do you have to make me swear if something will never happen?"
Liu Qingyun held Lin Sishen's face hard with her hands, forcing her to look at him. She begged with a trembling voice: "You must swear, only in this way can I feel at ease. You have always been a sensible child, even for Let mother rest assured, can you swear an oath?"
Looking at Liu Qingyun's red eyes and sad look, Lin Sishen sighed quietly. There was a hint of bitterness and grievance in her heart, but she suppressed it. She pursed her lips and nodded solemnly: "Mother , I swear that’s all, don’t be sad.”
Liu Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned forward and kissed Lin Sishen on the forehead: "Mother knows that you have always been my most obedient and sensible child."
Lin Sishen lowered his head, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
The sensible and obedient words in Liu Qingyun's words are exactly the shackles that have locked her tightly over the years.
Just because she is too sensible and obedient, she has lived in fear for these years, not daring to relax even a little bit. She thinks about everyone in the General's Mansion, and for the organization that she has worked hard for so many years to secretly establish in the General's Mansion, step by step. He left a way out for his loved ones, but he never thought about his own way out.
But no one in the general's mansion knew what she had done, no one knew what she had done for them.
Under the coercion of the second prince, she did so many things that went against her conscience, killed so many people and did so many bad things. Whenever she was haunted by nightmares at night, she huddled together in pain, terrified to the extreme, but still I didn't dare to shout out.
Because she was afraid that people would hear her, that her grandmother, father, mother and eldest brother would hear her, and that they would be worried about her.
She knows that the General's Mansion is far from being covered with thousands of honors and favors as outsiders see it, and it is not as impregnable. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. If he makes a wrong step, he will be doomed. She can only carry it like this, and she can only She can barely carry it.
Lin Sishen raised three fingers expressionlessly and said in a trembling voice: "I swear, I, Lin Sishen, will never have any feelings of admiration for Shen Qinghan. If I violate this oath, I will be struck by thunder..."
Liu Qingyun hurriedly held her hand, looked at her intently with a tearful voice, and said word by word: "It's not you, it's me, it's me, Liu Qingyun, who was struck by lightning and couldn't die."
Lin Sishen was stunned. She looked at Liu Qingyun in disbelief. Her dark pupils seemed to be soaked in a layer of hazy mist, and her pale thin lips trembled slightly.
Liu Qingyun shook her head, took a deep breath with a firm expression and said, "Speak quickly."
