The stone steps leading to the Qinzheng Hall seem to be invisible at first glance. Two steps stand a imperial guard in armor. The entire palace is shrouded in a serious and solemn atmosphere, making people unable to help but feel fear.

All the people who came and went around were high-ranking officials wearing official uniforms and jade belts, including some of them, whom Lin Sishen knew since childhood. After a few polite greetings, Lin Sishen followed General Lin without saying a word.

Everyone knew that Lin Sishen was about to go to the front line, and his eyes looked extremely dark when he looked at her, and he was sympathetic and gloating.

The front-line wars were gradually retreating. I heard that even General Wen, who had experienced many battles, was injured. If Lin Sishen, a noble young man who looked as weak as a little chicken, would probably follow in the footsteps of her two brothers.

Apart from the eldest son and the useless man in the general's mansion, there is only one who is Lin Sishen.

As the eunuch went to court with a sharp sound, everyone took turns to walk into the hall without panic. Lin Sishen, wearing white casual clothes, looked particularly conspicuous among the crowd.

Lin Sishen stood beside General Lin, and the prince was wearing a golden python suit standing in front of him. The prince's life has not been easy for the past half month. Since Duke Qing was imprisoned, the emperor has been suppressing the power of the princely party.

The prince, who had always been energetic, seemed to have a lot of weakness in his face, and his eyes were dull and he looked at the floor without saying a word.

But soon, he turned around thoughtfully and glanced at Lin Sishen, then hurriedly moved away his gaze, obviously not wanting to have anything to do with her in the court.

On the contrary, the second prince, who was wearing a purple robe and smiling face, looked at Lin Sishen with a smile on his face, looked at Lin Sishen with a slight hug on the corner of his lips and nodded at her, saying hello silently.

Lin Sishen's eyes closed and nodded slightly as a gift.

In fact, from the expressions of the two of them alone, we can see who is more respected by the emperor now? I heard that the emperor has given some power to the second prince in recent days. There are many rumors in the court, saying that this is a sign that Your Majesty wants to abolish the crown prince and make the second prince the crown prince.

After waiting for a while, a golden bell hanging under the corridor outside the hall was ringed, and then the emperor appeared.

Lin Sishen followed Lin Jiang and knelt on the ground, shouting with everyone: "Welcome to the Lord."

In the middle of the hall, the emperor wearing a dragon robe and white hair and hair were stepping forward with his hands behind his back, and walked towards the dragon throne step by step with the support of the eunuch.

The emperor sat on the dragon chaise, glanced at the ministers kneeling in the hall, nodded with satisfaction and said, "All my beloved ministers."

The court officials knew that the main event today was the battle on the border, and no one dared to report any other trivial matters. Soon the second prince took the lead and bowed, saying, "Report to my father, a few days ago, my father ordered my son to be responsible for transporting military supplies and food. My son had prepared 3,000 thousand stones of food and grass. As long as the father ordered the food and grass, the food and grass would be sent to the front line immediately."

When the old emperor heard this, he stroked his beard. The things that he had to do within five days were done, but in just three days the second prince had done it. The old emperor was very satisfied with this and praised: "It was done well. Since the food, grass and military supplies were ready, we will set off tomorrow."

Seeing that the second prince was praised, the prince couldn't help but feel a little impatient. Before the second prince could take the order, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Father, General Wen led his army to fight against the Lao army this time, and was defeated in the first battle. Erchen thought that General Wen was still too young and energetic, and General Lin had been through the battlefield for a long time and rarely suffered defeats with the Lao army for many years. According to Erchen, it would be better for General Lin to wear armor to fight against the Lao army."

After the words finished, the emperor had no expression on his face. Instead, he turned to look at the second prince and asked, "What do you think?"

Seeing that it was clearly his own proposal, the emperor asked the second prince for his opinion, the prince's expression froze.

After pondering for a moment, the second prince glanced at General Lin, and then said loudly: "My son thinks that although General Lin has been brave in fighting on the battlefield for a long time, he is already old."

In the court, Lin Sishen witnessed the first time between the prince and the second prince. The prince wanted to withdraw Wen Xingren and let General Lin go to battle, but the second prince spoke in a gentle tone. After understanding and boasting about General Wen, he did not forget to raise General Lin.

Just by verbal confrontation, the prince had already lost completely.

After hearing the court officials' advice, the emperor set his eyes on Lin Sishen, who had been silent.

He waved his hand to signal everyone to silence, and then signaled Lin Sishen to step forward: "Lin Sishen, what do you think?"

Lin Sishen stepped forward slowly, bowed and said in a deep voice: "I think that although General Wen is young and vigorous, he is calm in his military strategy and has never lost his battles for many years. This defeat may be just a temporary underestimation of the enemy. With a little rest, he can restore morale. On the contrary, if General Wen is withdrawn due to a defeat, it may cause General Wen to suffer a heavy blow."

Lin Sishen's remarks coincided with the second prince.

The prince's eyes sank and stared at her back with great dissatisfaction, while the second prince raised his lips and smiled quite proudly.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and laughed and said, "I mean that too. General Lin is old and wants him to kill the enemy with an old bone. The people should say that I, the emperor, are too polite to the old ministers. It is better to give General Wen a more chance."

After a change of the subject, the emperor said again: "However, General Wen sent a report back to the army yesterday, saying that the Liao army gathered a group of scattered soldiers to the front line, begging me to send troops to reinforce. I plan to send 20,000 Yulin troops to join General Wen and fight against the Liao army. However, I have not made any decision on the person who led the army. Lin Sishen, do you think anyone in the court can win this position?"

The old emperor was indeed cunning. He did not directly ask Lin Sishen to lead the troops, but instead asked Lin Sishen to recommend a military general. He had already signaled everyone openly and secretly that he wanted Lin Sishen to lead the troops to the battlefield, but now he was hypocritical inquiring, which was obviously forcing Lin Sishen to recommend himself.

Lin Sishen naturally understood the emperor's meaning. She took a deep breath, knelt on the ground, bowed her hands and said loudly: "My minister Lin Sishen, I am willing to recommend myself to lead the troops to the front line and fight against the Lao army with General Wen."

As Lin Sishen expected, the old emperor couldn't help but beg the dragon's face when he heard this, and immediately praised General Lin for his father and son without dogs. Then he praised Lin Sishen for a few words and then appointed her as the captain of the Yulin Army. Tomorrow, he would lead the Yulin Army to escort the food and grass military supplies and rush to the front line.

After going down the court, Lin Sishen and General Lin walked out of the hall side by side. The prince stood outside the door and waited for them. However, there were many court officials coming and going, and the second prince did not leave, so he didn't say anything else.

Just now in the court, he clearly heard that Lin Sishen and the second prince had colluded with each other, and he clenched his fists and looked cold, but now he looked gentle and kind. He carefully reminded Lin Sishen to take care of himself and would wait in the capital for the front line to come, and he would definitely seek credit for Lin Sishen.

After saying that, he left.

On the way back home, General Lin looked worried. He thought he didn't know how to speak to his old lady Liu Qingyun and told Lin Sishen that he would go to the front line tomorrow.

Lin Sishen knew his thoughts, but did not express comfort. Instead, he reminded him: "In the future, my father would have fewer contacts with the second prince in the court."

General Lin nodded after hearing this and sighed, "The prince originally wanted the Hu Fu, who replaced General Wen, to lead the army to the battle, but he had been injured for his father for many years of war, and he was really unable to do so."

In the past, General Lin always felt that the prince was quite wise and wise, but since he learned about the two incidents of Duke Qing of Manxianglou, he was also very disappointed with him.

Lin Sishen took the opportunity to persuade: "The prince is eager for quick success and instant benefits, and only wants to seek credit in front of the saint. Since his father knows his intention, it is better to interact less with him."

General Lin spoke in a daze: "It seems that he is really old as a father."

As soon as he arrived at the general's mansion, Lin Sishen couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage, ignored General Lin's stomping feet behind him, and hurriedly ran towards Liuguang Pavilion.

It’s better for my grandmother and mother to let my father go and resist the anger first.

As soon as she entered Liuguang Pavilion, Lin Sishen saw Mo Zhu watering flowers in the courtyard. She hurriedly stepped forward to ask Shen Qinghua where she was.

Seeing her dusty appearance, Mo Zhu was a little dissatisfied with her finding Shen Qinghuan as soon as she entered the yard, but she pointed to the study room helplessly and told me: "The princess has just returned not long ago and is now in the study room."

Lin Sishen turned around and looked at the closed door of the study room, and then whispered: "Mo Zhu, I tell you to do something for me."

After saying that, she muttered a few words in Mo Zhu's ear.

Mo Zhu's beautiful and fair face turned a little red. Lin Sishen took her away and slapped her in his ear and whispered: "Young Master really plans to do this?"

Lin Sishen nodded and said seriously: "Just do as I told you, it's better to go now. If it's too late, it's probably too late."

"I know, let's do it now."

After Mo Zhu left, Lin Sishen breathed a sigh of relief. Time was tight and she had to leave the capital tomorrow. There were still many things she needed to continue to give in, but the first thing now was to inform Shen Qinghua about her leaving tomorrow.

Lin Sishen walked to the door of the study room, raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but for some reason he didn't knock on it.

Today, she came and went quickly and thought about border wars. Now she finally calmed down and saw the...slight behavior of Shen Qinghuan on her bed last night.

The touch of the lips that seemed to be there and the whisper of joy made the calm heart beat inexplicably again. The hand she raised slowly fell down, and she couldn't help but feel a desire to retreat in her heart.

Maybe she was not ready to face Shen Qinghua again, and she didn't know how to speak or what expression she should do.

Lin Sishen stood by the study door for a long time, then sighed lightly with a complicated expression, and turned around to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, the closed door behind her was opened, and Lin Sishen turned around and looked around.

I saw Shen Qinghuan, who was wearing a snow-white dress, looking cold, leaning against the door. Feng Qingyun glanced at her calmly, then raised her eyebrows and opened her lips and said, "I originally wanted to see how long you planned to stand by the door, but I didn't expect you to be so courageous."

As soon as he saw Shen Qinghuan, Lin Sishen hurriedly lowered his head, and the auricles hidden between his hair suddenly turned red. His hands that were hanging beside him couldn't help but clench the corners of his sleeves and called out softly: "Princess."

Chen Qinghua turned his head slightly, looked at her with his narrow eyes, and raised a strand of hair with a trace of ink-dyeed fingertips: "If you stand in front of the door so much next time, I will not open the door for you."

Lin Sishen pursed his lips and smiled softly, saying, "I should leave tomorrow. Even if I want to stand in front of the princess's door, I don't know when I will have a chance."

The situation on the battlefield is changing constantly. I don’t know how long I will stay there, but Lin Sishen can’t even guarantee that he will come back alive.

Chen Qinghua frowned slightly, and his teeth gently bit his lips. His eyes were quite complicated: "Tomorrow?"

Lin Sishen touched the jade pendant on his waist, looked up at her, shrugged and smiled, "Well, the emperor has ordered me to lead 20,000 Yulin troops tomorrow to escort food and grass military supplies to the front line."

Chen Qinghuan lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time after hearing this. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Sishen's wrist, pulled her gently into the study room, then closed the door tightly, turned around and looked at Lin Sishen with an inexplicable look on his face.

His eyes were gentle, and he opened his mouth lightly and said, "Take off your clothes."
