After retreating from the court, Lin Sishen followed General Lin and left from the side door of the palace. When he walked to the carriage, he found that the carriage of the Ninth Prince was parked beside him. Behind the half-opened dark red curtain, he could still glimpse the gloomy face of the Ninth Prince. .

Looking at the battle, it is likely that he came to ask Master Lin Sishen Xing for his crimes.

Lin Sishen said inwardly that he was unlucky, stopped immediately, turned his head to look at General Lin, and gave him a begging wink, signaling him to say a few good words for him, so as to calm the anger of this difficult father-in-law.

But General Lin didn't seem to understand Lin Sishen's meaning, he patted Lin Sishen on the shoulder, coughed, then turned around and got into the carriage on his own, leaving Lin Sishen on the spot.

Obviously his father is unreliable, Lin Sishen had no choice but to straighten his official uniform, walked quickly to the Ninth Prince's carriage, bowed his hands respectfully and greeted him: "My son-in-law has seen my father-in-law."

Ninth Prince frowned and glanced at her coldly, without making a sound.

Today, because of Lin Sishen, the Ninth Prince and the Fourth Prince were arguing in court, but Lin Sishen didn't know what to do, and insisted on taking over the post of imperial envoy to Longyou to investigate the case. I don't blame the Ninth Prince for being angry with her.

Lin Sishen was not annoyed when he saw that the Ninth Prince liked to ignore him, he lowered his head and said in a loud voice, "My son-in-law has seen his father-in-law."

At the gate of the imperial city, there were guards standing guard and ministers coming and going. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Ninth Prince did not want to embarrass Lin Sishen, so he reluctantly nodded his head in response to Lin Sishen.

The coachman leading the horse smiled on behalf of the Ninth Prince, raised his hand and said, "Master Jun Ma, please tell me, you should get on the carriage first."

Lin Sishen secretly gasped, she looked at the gloomy face of the Ninth Prince, and turned her head to look at her own carriage, but saw General Lin hastily put down the opened curtain, as if he didn't intend to take care of her.

As a last resort, Lin Sishen had no choice but to board the Ninth Prince's carriage step by step with the imperial decree in hand.

The Ninth Prince did not take Lin Sishen back to the palace, nor did he find a random teahouse or restaurant, but ordered the coachman to lead the carriage around the moat outside the imperial city.

The Ninth Prince sat on the carriage, kept his eyes closed and said nothing, as if he didn't plan to talk to Lin Sishen for the time being.

He didn't open his mouth, and Lin Sishen couldn't say anything, he could only sit upright with the imperial decree in his mouth, with a calm smile on his face all the time.

After such a long time, the Ninth Prince finally opened his eyes. He didn't look angry, he just raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Sishen, and then asked, "Lin Sishen, you must answer truthfully what I ask you."

Lin Sishen straightened his back, lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully: "My father-in-law, please."

The Ninth Prince did not go around in circles, stared at her closely, and asked straight to the point: "How do you plan to deal with these two unfavorable errands?"

Lin Sishen thought about it and replied: "My son-in-law hasn't gone to Longyou, so I don't know the situation in Longyou..."

Ninth Prince frowned dissatisfiedly and interrupted Lin Sishen: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me, what I'm asking about is not about the embezzlement of disaster relief funds."

Lin Sishen's expression changed slightly, and he was about to make up some nonsense to get away with it, but the Ninth Prince waved his hand again, and said with a long sigh: "Today, this king excused you in front of the emperor for Wan'er's sake. But you don't know how powerful you are and you have to take over the post of imperial envoy."

Lin Sishen hurriedly said: "My son-in-law understands your father-in-law's intentions."

The Ninth Prince has always avoided the matter of the prince seizing the throne, for fear of being implicated and making the emperor suspicious.But today he really couldn't see it, and he planned to tell Lin Sishen a few words of truth, so as to remind her.

"The current situation in the court is complicated. Brother Huang seems to let the fourth and second child seize power, but that is nothing more than knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger. He intends to use the momentum of the fourth child to suppress the second child and make him restrain himself. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that, Brother Huang still pays more attention to the second child. Those Beijing officials who rely on the fourth child dare to support the fourth child because they have gambled their wealth and life in the future. But you are different from them. You came from the general’s mansion and you are the king’s son-in-law , why do you stand on the side of the fourth child?"

Hearing the words, Lin Sishen raised his eyes slowly, with a smile on his face, he said with deep meaning: "Father-in-law, it seems too early to be sure that the second prince will be the new emperor in the future."

The Ninth Prince shook his head helplessly: "So, you have made up your mind to stand on the side of the fourth child, and even plan to offend the second child to death."

Lin Sishen's expression became solemn, and he said seriously: "Longyou suffered from this natural disaster, and countless people were forced to suffer from hunger, cold and homelessness. My son-in-law led the order to go to Longyou to inspect it for the benefit of the people. Your Majesty loves the people and has allocated funds to Longyou several times. For disaster relief, if someone dares to embezzle the people's life-saving money and food, my son-in-law will enforce the law impartially and will not tolerate it. As for the temple dispute, my son-in-law does not want to get involved too much."

The Ninth Prince was shocked by Lin Sishen's righteous words. After a few seconds, he waved his hands impatiently and said, "Whether you intend to avenge the victims of Longyou or have other plans, as long as you step on Entering Longyou, you have already been involved, you don't have to talk nonsense to this king."

Seeing that Lin Sishen was about to refute after speaking, the Ninth Prince frowned and took the first step: "I didn't intend to tell you some things that were too explicit, so as not to make you feel bad about me, but now I have to tell you. I understand. Wan'er is the jewel in my king's palm, and also my only bloodline in this world. This king will never allow anyone to implicate her, even if you are her husband."

As soon as Shen Qingwan was mentioned, the Ninth Prince's expression and tone suddenly softened a lot. He stared straight at Lin Sishen, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you understand what I mean?"

The Ninth Prince spoke clearly, how could Lin Sishen not understand, she nodded with a slightly complicated expression, and replied softly: "My son-in-law understands."

The Ninth Prince stared at Lin Sishen for a while, then suddenly took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve, and slowly handed it to Lin Sishen: "Since you understand what I mean, then you also know what to do."

Lin Sishen didn't understand what he said, what should he do?

With some doubts, she raised her hand to take the paper that the Ninth Prince handed her, hesitated for a while, and then unfolded it gently. After concentrating on seeing the contents of the paper, she suddenly held her breath and was completely stunned.

At the beginning of the paper, there were three big characters "He Li Shu" written brightly, and the familiar handwriting made Lin Sishen's eyes ache even more.

The ink on the paper looks old, and this and Li Shu should have been written a long time ago.

Lin Sishen's hands clinging to the paper trembled uncontrollably. She took a deep breath to maintain her composure, and quickly glanced at the content of He Li's book with her lowered eyes. Finally, her eyes fell on a line of small characters at the end.

After we are separated, I hope that you and I will be different and happy each other.

The Ninth Prince scrutinized Lin Sishen's expression carefully, and seeing that she seemed to be a little stunned, he immediately felt a little guilty, but even so, he still reminded: "This and Li Shu haven't written a date, you Just sign your name on it and press your thumbprint."

After finishing speaking, the Ninth Prince took out a pen, ink and cinnabar from the corner of the carriage as if conjuring, and placed them one by one on the wooden table in front of Lin Sishen.

Lin Sishen acted as if she had never heard of the words and deeds of the Ninth Prince, she just looked down at the He Li Shu, and asked in a low voice: "This He Li Shu was written by the princess?"

It sounded like Lin Sishen was asking about the Ninth Prince, but in fact she had already recognized Shen Qingwan's handwriting at a glance.

When they first got married, Shen Qingwan promised her to reconcile after three years, but later she and Shen Qingwan promised each other for life, so she didn't take the three-year agreement seriously.

It's just that he didn't expect that Shen Qingwan had written He Li Shu long ago, waiting for her to add her name handprint.

The Ninth Prince coughed lightly, obviously he also felt that this move was a little too much, but for the sake of Shen Qingwan, he suppressed the feeling of guilt in his heart, and said with a straight face: "You don't have to ask more questions. Fortunately, you and Wan'er have no heirs, so you can avoid being implicated. You don't need to feel wronged, this is just to leave a way for Wan'er."

Lin Sishen's heart trembled, feeling a little hurt.

She felt that maybe she should take the reconciliation book back and ask Shen Qingwan if she really planned to reconcile with her one day in order to avoid being involved.

But after she thought about it, Shen Qingwan had always planned and thought carefully, since she had written the letter of reconciliation and departure with her own hand, it meant that she really planned to reconcile with her, so what could she do if she went to ask.

Perhaps this situation was also in her expectation.

Seeing Lin Sishen's abnormal expression and being in a daze, the Ninth Prince hurriedly urged: "What are you doing in a daze, this and Li Shuben Wang will not present it to His Majesty tomorrow."

With a pale face, Lin Sishen parted the corners of his lips and smiled ironically: "Yes, it's not tomorrow. It's when I'm in trouble, the general's mansion is in trouble, and the prince will submit it to His Majesty."

The Ninth Prince was stunned by Lin Sishen's sarcastic words, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Under the watchful eyes of the Ninth Prince, Lin Sishen laid out the rice paper on the wooden table silently with downcast eyes, and raised her hand to hold the pen, but when she really planned to sign her name, she hesitated again, and a drop of fine ink on the tip of the pen slowly The drops fell on the paper, blurring a small ink stain.

This and Li Shu were written by Shen Qingwan herself, and even her name's handprint was added long ago. Lin Sishen's gaze moved away and landed on Shen Qingwan's name beside her.

Her handwriting has always been so chic and beautiful, and the strokes are cold and distant, just like her.

The Ninth Prince stared at the pen in Lin Sishen's hand, and seeing that she was still refusing to write, he couldn't help urging: "What are you looking at, hurry up and write, that's what Wan'er meant."

It really was what she meant.

Lin Sishen pursed her thin lips, and slowly raised her eyes to look at the Ninth Prince, her brows and eyes were full of loneliness, she smiled softly as if she was laughing at herself, as if she thought it was ridiculous, she finally dropped her pen and ink.

"Since it is the meaning of the princess..."
