The county horse is a medicine jar

Seeing Shen Qingwan's serious expression, Lin Sishen really thought that she was planning to go with him, and immediately beamed with joy, and said excitedly: "If the princess really goes with me, then this matter will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

But when Shen Qingwan saw that she was happy, she suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled jokingly, pouring cold water on her suddenly: "It's just a joke, you still take it seriously."

Lin Sishen's head drooped instantly when she heard the words, she rolled her lips and gave Shen Qingwan an angry look, and said faintly: "I knew you were teasing me again."

Shen Qingwan stared at Lin Sishen quietly, a gentle light flashed in her eyes, she opened her thin lips and asked softly: "You... want me to accompany you very much?"

Naturally, he thought about it, this trip to Longyou ranged from one to two months to three to four months, and when he thought about being separated from Shen Qingwan for so long, Lin Sishen felt stuffy in his heart. Abandon.

But she also understands that there are countless pairs of eyes staring at Shen Qingwan in the capital, not to mention how could Shen Qingwan leave the capital rashly without His Majesty's will.No matter what, it is impossible for Shen Qingwan to go to Longyou with her.

Lin Sishen shook her head, although she felt disappointed, but she pretended to be indifferent and shook her head and said, "Your Majesty should focus on the overall situation. If your Majesty secretly followed me to Longyou, His Majesty will definitely punish you if she finds out. .”

Shen Qingwan stared at Lin Sishen for a while, and then reminded with a faint smile: "You should go, Second Emperor Brother is probably already waiting for you at this time."

Lin Sishen looked up through the open wooden window, watched the night getting darker, nodded hurriedly to say goodbye to Shen Qingwan, then hurried back to the old yard and changed into night clothes.

As in the past, Lin Sishen sneaked out from the General's Mansion and rushed to the wooden house where Liu Ce was hiding without making a sound.

After she stood still in front of the door, she suddenly and keenly noticed something strange.In the past, every time she came back, there would be a lit lantern hanging in front of the door, but today there was no lantern hanging in front of the door, and even the Clivia on the window sill was strangely not displayed.

The yard was pitch black, as if the owner had turned off the lights and rested, or in other words, no one lived there at all.

It is impossible for Mo Zhu to be wrong. Since Clivia has appeared, the second prince must have summoned her, but why is there no one here?

Lin Sishen stood quietly in front of the door for a long while, looking at the closed courtyard door in front of her, she lowered her eyes and began to meditate.

The bright moon above the sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds, the faint light dissipated instantly, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

Just when Lin Sishen was about to leave, she suddenly trembled, and then suddenly turned around to look at a hidden corner not far behind her.

Lin Sishen seemed to feel that in that corner, there was a pair of cold eyes staring at her coldly.

Lin Sishen did not leave, she stood with her hands behind her back expressionlessly, and the hand hidden in her sleeve was tightly holding a sharp dagger.

"Come out."

After the words were finished, a burly and tall man in black suddenly came out from the corner. He was covered in black like Lin Sishen, so he couldn't tell what he looked like at all.

Standing directly in front of Lin Sishen, the man in black raised his hand in a gesture without saying a word.

Following his movements, there were sudden slight noises around him, like the sound of someone stepping on tiles. Lin Sishen slowly raised his eyes, and saw several men in black jumping down from three sides, standing firmly It landed in front of Lin Sishen.

Lin Sishen stood quietly without moving, with no trace of panic in her expression. She looked at the leading man in black not far away, and saw a golden pattern from his neckline.

It looked like a pattern embroidered with gold thread, although it was only a corner, but Lin Sishen had already recognized it, the pattern hidden inside the neckline was a blooming Clivia, which was the unique emblem of the Second Prince.

These people belonged to the second prince, although Lin Sishen didn't know what they were going to do for a moment, but she didn't make a move, instead she let go of the dagger, spread her hands and slowly lifted it up.

The leading man in black nodded satisfied when he saw this, and he uttered a sentence under his voice: "Mr. Lin, the master ordered you to meet him, and I offended you."

After he finished speaking, he waved again, and the people surrounding Lin Sishen rushed up, tied Lin Sishen's hands firmly with hemp rope, and covered her eyes with a black cloth.

Lin Sishen let these people tie her up, she didn't know what the second prince was doing, but she was sure that the second prince would not kill her, so she never resisted.

After Lin Sishen was blindfolded and tied up, they escorted Lin Sishen away.

Lin Sishen's eyes were blindfolded and she couldn't see anything. Two men in black beside her clasped her shoulders, pushing and shoving her to move forward.But Lin Sishen soon discovered that these people seemed to be leading her around in circles, shuttling back and forth in the long and narrow alleys.

It looked like it was done on purpose, not wanting Lin Sishen to figure out where he came from.

After walking like this for half an hour, these people finally made Lin Sishen stop, and then she heard someone knock on the door, and then there were footsteps coming from the back door, the door opened with a creak, and the group of people were released. go in.

From the moment they escorted Lin Sishen away to the time they arrived at the destination and entered the gate, these people did not speak the whole time, not to mention the sound of footsteps, and even the sound of breathing was so weak that they seemed to be inaudible. They should all be masters of one another.

Lin Sishen didn't know what kind of gourd the second prince was selling, so he could only passively obey.

After entering the house, Lin Sishen felt as if he had passed through a large courtyard, and then seemed to be pushed into a house.She followed those people and stopped. Just when she thought she had arrived, there was a sudden silent sound in her ears, as if some mechanism had been opened.

Immediately afterwards, a gust of sultry wind blew through the house, as if a secret door had been opened.

The facts were indeed as Lin Sishen expected, on a white wall in front of her, the secret door with the bookcase was opened, revealing a narrow and deep corridor leading directly to the ground.

The aisle was closed and narrow, and only a glimmer of light could be seen faintly at the end.

Lin Sishen was pushed forward by the man in black, and the group gradually disappeared behind the secret door, until the figure of the last person disappeared, and the secret door slowly closed without revealing a single gap.

After walking in the secret passage for a while, she finally arrived at the final destination. The man in black put a slight pressure on her shoulder, and Lin Sishen stopped walking.

Lin Sishen stood silently with her head bowed, smelling a strong scent of sandalwood in the air, she sighed secretly in her heart, seeing, this is really here.

The man in black beside him waited for a while, and then roughly pulled the black cloth off Lin Sishen's eyes.

Lin Sishen felt her eyes suddenly brighten up, but her eyes were still aching because of the black cloth too hard. She closed her eyes subconsciously, opened them after a moment, and quickly glanced around.

This is a small secret room with only one entrance, but there seems to be another secret room connected to it in the corner.The black cloth hanging in front of the door blocked the view, but a small half of the iron railing was exposed underneath.

That secret room was like a prison where someone was imprisoned.

There is an exquisite sandalwood table in the middle of the secret room, two simple wooden beds on both sides, and a wooden cabinet in the corner, with bowls and chopsticks on top and swords and daggers on the bottom.

Besides Lin Sishen and the two men in black behind her, there were two more people in the secret room.

Standing upright behind the sandalwood table was the second prince, who was wearing a purple robe and tied with a jade crown, and looked very handsome and personable.And the man standing respectfully behind him with bowed head was Liu Ce, an unremarkable strategist in plain clothes.

The second prince was holding a folding fan in his hand, shaking it lightly. With a gentle smile on his face, he looked Lin Sishen up and down, and then slowly called out: "Lin Sishen."

Lin Sishen's eyes narrowed, and he knelt down to salute: "Your Majesty Lin Sishen sees His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

The second prince hastily stood up and walked around to Lin Sishen from behind the table, raised his hand to support her, and scolded slightly reproachfully: "You are not in the court, why is Mr. Lin always sticking to etiquette?"

Lin Sishen bowed his head respectfully in front of the second prince, "Your Highness is the prince..."

The second prince waved his hand, and interrupted her with a bit of dissatisfaction: "You are also a relative of the emperor now, so you should follow Wan'er and call me brother, too many polite words, just to see outsiders."

Lin Sishen lowered his head calmly and smiled coldly, then stood up, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Highness taught me the lesson."

The second prince withdrew his hand and smiled, then shook his folding fan and asked, "Do you know what this king is looking for you to discuss?"

Lin Sishen stood aside respectfully, not pretending to be stupid, and replied directly: "Your Majesty would venture to guess that His Highness summoned you to discuss the disaster situation in Longyou."

The second prince stared at Lin Sishen with squinted eyes, folded his folding fan and said solemnly: "Yes, I saw you today, and I just wanted to discuss with you about the disaster in Longyou. You must have heard that there have been rumors in the capital recently that it is my king Intentionally conniving Longyou officials to embezzle relief food funds."

After the words fell, before Lin Sishen could speak, Liu Ce suddenly looked up at Lin Sishen, and said, "Your Highness has always cared about the country, the people, and the people, and these rumors are just deliberately fabricated by those with evil intentions to shake His Highness. A virtuous name in the hearts of the people. Mr. Lin, you are a smart person, you shouldn't believe such nonsense, right?"

Hearing the words, the second prince spread out the folding fan and shook it, his eyes never moved away from Lin Sishen's face, as if he wanted to observe the subtle changes in her expression.

However, Lin Sishen's expression was always respectful and did not show any anger. She lowered her eyes and cupped her hands respectfully and said, "What Mr. Liu said is that those ridiculous words were spread deliberately by people with ulterior motives. The officials know that His Highness is a person, so naturally they won't believe it." .”

In fact, Longyou's case, no matter whether it is related to the second prince or not, he will bear part of the responsibility in the end.If it really had nothing to do with him, he didn't have to rush to find Lin Sishen in such a hurry, everyone present knew it well, but the second prince just wanted to pretend to be a breeze.

Seeing that Lin Sishen echoed his words, the second prince didn't say anything else, he sat back and picked up the teacup on the table, and began to drink tea leisurely.

Then it was time for Liu Ce to step forward. He took a step forward, looked at Lin Sishen solemnly, and asked, "Young Master Lin, there is news from the palace that the Holy Majesty wants to appoint an imperial envoy from among the officials in the court. Have you heard of it?"

"The fourth prince came to the General's Mansion today, and he also mentioned that he recommended a subordinate official to serve as an imperial envoy in front of the Holy One."

It is absolutely impossible to hide this matter from the second prince, if he pretends to be confused, it will only make him more suspicious, so Lin Sishen simply told the truth.

Hearing this, the second prince paused the hand holding the teacup, raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Sishen,

Liu Ce looked indifferent, he nodded and said: "Actually, the Holy Majesty did intend to appoint Mr. Lin as an imperial envoy to go to Longyou to investigate the case."

Lin Sishen looked at Liu Ce with a perplexed expression, and asked honestly, "If that's the case, then I don't know what to do..."

Liu Ce smiled lightly and didn't speak, but turned sideways to let out the second prince. The second prince put down the teacup leisurely, and said with a loud smile, "Just do your duty. Since the emperor appointed you as an imperial envoy, you should naturally investigate the case carefully." , there can be no omissions."

After the second prince finished speaking, he stood up, as if he was about to leave, and Liu Ce also glanced at Lin Sishen with a half-smile, and pointed out: "Young Master Lin, you will know how to do it."

Lin Sishen looked a little stunned, as if he didn't understand what the second prince meant.A sense of uneasiness suddenly surged in her heart, and she always felt that the words of the second prince and Liu Ce seemed to have something to do with her.

Thinking of this, Lin Sishen probed in a low voice: "Mr. Liu, I don't know Laos..."

Liu Ce smiled knowingly when he heard the words, interrupted Lin Sishen's words, and said calmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, the one from Laos is fine, and our people will take good care of him. You don't have to worry too much, Mr. Lin."

Liu Ce pretended to be decent, as if everything was under control. If Lin Sishen hadn't known about Lu Xingquan's whereabouts, he might really have thought that he was still under their control.

Just as Lin Sishen was about to test a few more words, the second prince suddenly opened his mouth. He turned his head and glanced at the prison that was tightly covered by a black cloth hanging to one side, then turned around to look at Lin Sishen, and smiled coldly.

"Speaking of which, there is one thing I want to tell you. Yesterday, my subordinates accidentally found a fainted woman on the official road ten miles away from the capital. After resuscitating her, the woman told her the origin of her name. , but I don’t think that woman seems to have some relationship with you.”

Lin Sishen's expression remained unchanged, but the thoughts in her heart suddenly surged. No wonder she was mysteriously brought here by the second prince's subordinates today, there was indeed a conspiracy.It's just that she couldn't think of who the old man the second prince was talking about was for a while, and she would be arrested by the second prince's people.

Lin Sishen stared at the secret door behind the black cloth, with a smile on his lips: "I can't imagine that there is another old friend who happens to be rescued by the second prince's people when he is in trouble."

Liu Ce took out a key from his sleeve, handed it to Lin Sishen, raised his chin towards the secret door, and said with a smile, "Young Master Lin, go and see for yourself and you'll know."

Lin Sishen looked down at the key in Liu Ce's hand, the smile on her lips disappeared little by little, and she raised her hand to take the key expressionlessly.Under the playful eyes of the second prince and Liu Ce, he secretly took a deep breath and walked to the secret door.

After lifting the black cloth, the cage behind the secret door appeared in front of my eyes, but the light in the cage was extremely dim, and I could only vaguely see a person curled up in the corner. From the figure, I could vaguely tell that it was a Women, but they can't see clearly at all.

Lin Sishen turned around and glanced at the second prince, but saw him looking at him with a sneer, with an intriguing look in his eyes.Seeing Lin Sishen looking at him, he waved his hand to signal Lin Sishen to open the door and go in.

Lin Sishen slowly inserted the key into the iron lock, only to hear a muffled sound, the iron lock fell to the ground and the cell door opened in response.

The woman in the corner moved slightly, as if she had just woken up, she raised her head to look at the door in panic, and when she saw Lin Sishen's appearance behind the light, the woman's body trembled violently, and she actually froze in place.

Lin Sishen suppressed the uneasiness and anger in his heart, and walked towards the woman step by step, but within a few steps, she suddenly heard a choked and trembling whisper.

"Young Master Lin."

That voice was familiar but unfamiliar, Lin Sishen was immediately stunned, she looked at the thin and delicate woman in the corner in disbelief, although she still couldn't see her face clearly, she couldn't hide her surprise and said, "Why, what happened?" It's you?"
