The county horse is a medicine jar

That night, Lin Sishen was lying on the cloud couch tossing and turning. She thought about many things, about her eldest brother, about Yun Liu, about the second prince, and about Shen Qinghou. The intricate relationship with them made Lin Sishen feel a little haggard.

When she was finally drowsy and about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard a slight noise on the window coffin beside her.

Lin Sishen opened her eyes and sat up slowly. She turned her head to look in the direction of the bed, held her breath and listened to the subtle sound of breathing, then turned her head and carefully pushed the wooden window open a gap.

An emerald green bird nimbly slipped through the gap, landed on the back of Lin Sishen's hand and looked up at her, bouncing up and down on her hand as if asking for credit. Lin Sishen smiled and raised a finger. Stick it between your lips: "Shh."

The little bird seemed to understand human speech, and obediently stood on her hand, motionless, looking at Lin Sishen with her dark eyes the size of mung beans.

Lin Sishen skillfully took out a small bamboo tube from between its legs, then rubbed its small head, took out the secret letter in the bamboo tube, and then stared intently at the ray of cold white moonlight shining from the gap between the window coffins. The small print on the secret letter.

After a long time, Lin Sishen raised her eyes and took a deep breath. With a complicated expression, she crumpled the paper as thin as a cicada's wing into a ball. Just as she was dazed, something hard pecked her cheek lightly.

Lin Sishen turned his head to see that the little kingfisher had jumped onto her shoulder at some point, and was gently pecking her face with its sharp beak.

"You are hungry?"

Lin Sishen raised his hand with a low laugh, and the little kingfisher jumped onto her index finger obediently. After looking at each other, Lin Sishen quietly got up and went to the table to fetch some pastries for it to eat.

There was still a plate full of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes on the jade plate on the table, Lin Sishen tiptoedly took a small half of it and crushed it in the palm of his hand, just as he was about to take the kingfisher back behind the screen.Unexpectedly, the kingfisher flew away from her hand, and after flapping its wings around the room, it flew to the side of the bed, slipped through the veil and ran in.

Lin Sishen gasped, fearing that the kingfisher would wake Shen Qinghou up, so he also followed.

After gently lifting the white gauze curtain, Lin Sishen caught a glimpse of Shen Qinghou lying on the bed at a glance. She was wearing a thin coat, her fair and delicate face glowed with a warm luster in the darkness, and the scattered blue hair was slightly radiant. messy.

Shen Qinghou, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to be less cold, quiet and gentle. She put her hands on her belly, closed her eyes and breathed calmly, but the naughty little kingfisher was standing on her slightly heaving heart, Tilting his head curiously, he looked at Shen Qinghou's face.

Lin Sishen knelt down on the side of the bed slowly, her throat rolled almost imperceptibly, while staring at Shen Qinghou's face, she slowly stretched out her hand to the little kingfisher standing on her heart.

Lin Sishen heaved a sigh of relief the moment he caught the kingfisher, but fortunately it didn't scream or jump around. Just when Lin Sishen was about to withdraw his hand with joy on his face, Shen Qinghou who was lying on the bed quietly opened his eyes. .

There was still a trace of laziness in the cold and deep eyes, she slowly closed them, looked at Lin Sishen's hand hanging over her heart, and then her gaze fell on Lin Sishen's face, the two looked at each other for a long while, Shen After a while, his eyes darkened and he opened his lips, "Mr. Lin, what do you mean?"

Lin Sishen's expression was stiff, she retracted her hand with a sneer, then spread her palm to expose the little kingfisher in front of Shen Qinghou's eyes, coughed lightly and explained: "This little thing sneaked into the house, I don't want it to disturb you The princess is resting, this is..."

Shen Qinghou's eyes fell on the little kingfisher in Lin Sishen's palm, and then she looked up at her with a cold and lazy expression, unable to see whether she believed Lin Sishen's words or not.

It was really hard not to let people think about what he did just now, Lin Sishen lowered his eyes guiltyly, and retreated step by step: "Sishen didn't intend to offend, so I won't disturb the princess' rest."

She opened the gauze curtain and walked out quickly, but Shen Qinghou's voice suddenly came from behind: "Why don't you rest so late, I remember that you still need to go to the military department early in the morning."

Lin Sishen turned his back to the bed, and sighed helplessly: "I really can't sleep, maybe there are too many troubles."

Shen Qinghou sat up slowly, raised her hand and took out a white porcelain bottle from under the pillow, then said softly, "Come here."

Lin Sishen pursed his lips, and after hesitating for a while, he walked over slowly. After lifting the gauze curtain, he saw Shen Qinghou sitting beside the bed. She was holding a porcelain bottle in her hand, and she looked up at Lin Sishen. Finally, she lowered her eyes slightly: "Come closer, lean over."

"Oh." Lin Sishen didn't know, so she did as Shen Qinghou said. She came closer and bent over, her eyes were erratic and she didn't know where to fall.

Shen Qinghou got closer, raised her hand and pulled Lin Sishen's collar, then turned the porcelain bottle in her hand upside down on Lin Sishen's neck, and slowly poured out a drop of milky white liquid from inside, dripping on Lin Sishen's collar .

"This fragrance has a calming and hypnotic effect. Just put a drop on the clothes or between the pillows, and you can sleep peacefully all night."

Shen Qinghou's face was close at hand, Lin Sishen closed his eyes and smelled a faint fragrance floating in the air, matching Shen Qinghou's slightly hot breath as he spoke, blowing towards his face.She couldn't help lowering her eyes, and caught a glimpse of Shen Qinghou who lowered her eyebrows, her cold face was filled with a trace of gentleness, and her perfectly shaped red lips were slightly opened and exhaled like orchids.

Under such a dim light, both of them were wearing thin coats alone in a room, and they were so close, it was inevitable that there would be no trace of charm.

Lin Sishen lowered her eyes and remained silent until Shen Qinghou let go of her hand and moved away a little, then she tilted her head slightly to avoid Shen Qinghou's sight, and thanked in a low voice: "Thank you Princess."

Shen Qinghou nodded indifferently, and then handed the porcelain bottle in his hand to Lin Sishen: "You don't have to be so polite, you can put this porcelain bottle under your pillow."

Lin Sishen took the porcelain vase, and her heart that had settled down after sniffing the fragrance became confused again. When she hurriedly left and lay on the cloud couch, she closed her eyes, but her mind was full of the scene she glimpsed when Shen Qinghou approached just now. The beautiful face with drooping eyebrows is as gentle as water.

Is she always so gentle with others?

After thinking like this for a while, Lin Sishen finally fell into a deep sleep, and it was only dawn when he woke up the next day.

She got up in a hurry, and planned to go to the study to wash up in order not to disturb Shen Qinghou, but unexpectedly, she searched the closet for a while but couldn't find her official uniform, so she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

After putting on her coat, she opened the door and went out, and happened to meet Mo Zhu who was tending orchids in the yard, so she asked casually.

Yesterday Lin Sishen didn't change his official uniform, but he practiced sword with Lin Sitao and Li Xiaowei, and he smelled of sweat and wine all over his body.Mo Zhu glanced at her, and said: "Last night, the princess ordered the servants to wash the young master's official clothes and blow them all night before they were done. The servants put them in the study early in the morning."

Lin Sishen gathered his coat, and after a long silence, he said, "I need to go to the Ministry of War early today."

After putting on the official uniform, Lin Sishen walked out of the mansion, but just happened to meet General Lin who hurried back from outside the mansion in a dusty suit. Lin Sishen raised his eyebrows calmly and asked, "Father, why did you come back from outside so early in the morning?" .”

"Alas." General Lin sighed with a tired face: "Yesterday, in the middle of the night, the Crown Prince suddenly sent someone to invite me to Duke Qing's Mansion. We had a secret conversation all night, and now I'm returning to the mansion. I have to go to court later."

General Lin didn't seem to want to talk to Lin Sishen about the content of the secret conversation with the crown prince last night, his face was tight and tired, he just asked Lin Sishen if he was going to the Ministry of War, and then went back to the mansion to change his official uniform.

Lin Sishen didn't ask any further questions. After walking out of the mansion gate, she walked slowly to the back door of the general's mansion. As expected, she saw the pot of Clivia placed by the door.

She got the news last night that someone in the court wrote a secret letter and presented it to His Majesty. The secret letter pointed out that the Crown Prince had had several private correspondence with Lao envoys, and even sent several letters to His Majesty. It is the letter written by the Lao envoy to the prince, and the reply letter written by the prince himself.

The content of the letter is nothing out of the ordinary, but the envoy of Laos asked the crown prince to intercede in front of His Majesty, asking His Majesty to agree to trade and trade between Shanxi and Laos. If the negotiation is successful, the crown prince will be offered the treasures of Lao As a thank you.

The prince's reply was also very official, but it also revealed that he really wanted to promote the peace talks between Jin and Laos.

Although there is nothing excessive in the letter, it is also confirmed that the crown prince has a secret connection with the Lao country. In addition, the Lao country spies who assassinated the emperor a few days ago, the letters that were released at this time are all guiding the old man. The emperor suspected that the prince was secretly colluding with Laos.

The old emperor was suspicious by nature. After Chun Lie was assassinated, he sent people to secretly investigate how the Lao spies sneaked into the palace. Sure enough, it was found out that the assassin entered the palace after being recommended by a steward of the East Palace. Although the steward His position in the East Palace is not high, but he is actually under the crown prince.

The prince has been in a lot of misfortunes in recent days, and the matter of Manxianglou has been neglected by the emperor, and now he is suspected of colluding with Laos to assassinate the emperor.

He was deeply aware of the disaster, so he called the ministers who supported him to Duke Qing's mansion overnight to find countermeasures, but he was really eager for quick success, and dared to collude with party members and spies at such a juncture, no wonder he would be led by the nose by the second prince.

All of this was carefully arranged by the second prince. From the beginning when he knew that the prince was secretly building an underground gambling house, to the time when he knew that the prince had contact with the Lao envoys, he kept silent and pretended not to know it. It was only after the old emperor was assassinated that he began to slow down. Start slowly, revealing the prince's deeds one by one.

Thinking about it, he wanted to completely defeat the prince.

Lin Sishen even suspected that the Lao assassin who was sent to assassinate the emperor might have been arranged by the second prince.

When Lin Sishen arrived at the Ministry of War, he sat down and was sent by the Minister of the Ministry of War to pick up a document from the Ministry of Households. Lin Sishen hurried over without stopping.

Entering the courtyard of the household department, I saw many officials of the household department hiding in the corridor, and their eyes fell on the two tugging figures in front of the courtyard.

Lin Sishen raised her eyebrows, and looked up suspiciously.

Li Qizheng, who was wearing an official uniform, stood dejectedly in front of a woman in a fancy dress, with a glaring five-fingerprint on his handsome face.

The woman in Chinese clothes is short in stature, her face is fairly clear, but her expression is slightly mean. She looked at Li Qi in front of her with a sneer, and sarcastically said without hesitation: "Why, I'm speechless, that lowly maid has already If you are pregnant, do you do it yourself or wait for the princess to do it yourself."

The gloom in Li Qi's eyes flashed, he stepped forward and took Princess Qingyao's hand, and said in a low voice: "Princess, let's go back to the mansion to discuss such private matters."

The servant of Maye Household Department of Tangtang County, in front of so many colleagues, was reprimanded by his wife and revealed his personal affairs, which is really ridiculous.

Besides, Princess Qingyao's voice is not low, Lin Sishen who is far away can hear it clearly.

Princess Qingyao is the second daughter of the fourth prince. She is the same age as the prince, and they have a close relationship.Princess Qingyao is perverse and domineering, and has a great reputation in the capital. After Li Qi entered the Zhu Palace, she was often reprimanded and instigated by her in public. This is well known.

Li Qi comforted Princess Qingyao in a low voice, but seeing her didn't care about Li Qi's face at all, he slapped his hand away, pointed at him and cursed: "You want face, so this princess doesn't want face? It’s fine if you keep so many vixens outside, but now you’re so bold that you’re messing around in the mansion, are you blind as the princess?”

Lin Sishen looked at it twice with a smile without saying a word, then walked around to the side, walked through the courtyard, and went to the inner hall to find someone to pick up the documents.

After taking the documents, Lin Sishen was about to leave, and when he passed a side hall, he caught a glimpse of a man dressed as a servant from the corner of his eye. After cleaning up the fallen leaves in front of a door, he put a pot in a row of potted plants beside a stone step. Clivia.

Lin Sishen paused, she looked away without changing her expression, and slowed down her pace to move forward.

Li Qi walked over quickly with his head down, and almost fell in love with Lin Sishen, but fortunately Lin Sishen dodged sideways, so he raised his eyes to look at Lin Sishen, and then asked in surprise, "Why is Mr. Lin here?"

Lin Sishen raised his hand and signaled, "Come and get a document."

Li Qi nodded absent-mindedly, and after the two exchanged a few words, Li Qi hurried to the courtyard that Lin Sishen had just passed by. Lin Sishen stood behind him and glanced lightly.

When he saw Li Qi passing the stone steps and looking aside subconsciously, Lin Sishen twitched his lips, and then left the household department.

At night, Lin Sishen changed into night clothes. Since the second prince's Clivia was displayed, Lin Sishen had to go see Liu Ce.

Lin Sishen was standing in the room wearing black clothes, she glanced at the bed, through the light veil she could faintly see Shen Qinghou's figure clearly.She knew that Shen Qinghou hadn't fallen asleep, and she also knew that Shen Qinghou had guessed where she was going.

She seemed to be waiting for Shen Qinghou to speak, so she did not leave for a long time.

Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, Shen Qinghou suddenly raised her jade hand and lifted the veil. She stood in front of the bed and looked at Lin Sishen, her eyes fell on Lin Sishen lightly, and she opened her lips and asked, "The second prince wants to see you?"

Lin Sishen nodded, and then said softly, "I don't know if the princess has anything to say."

Xu felt that Lin Sishen was quite on the right track, and the corners of Shen Qinghou's lips raised slightly: "The Second Prince will definitely ask you about my recent changes."

Lin Sishen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then I'll just say it honestly, the princess hasn't seen anything unusual these days."

After saying this, seeing Shen Qinghou smiling without saying a word, Lin Sishen took the opportunity to ask: "Does the princess know about the prince?"

Shen Qinghou spit out two words concisely: "I know."

In fact, you should know without asking. How could Shen Qinghou not know about such trivial matters? Lin Sishen thought for a moment, looked up at her and finally said what he wanted to ask: "The Lao assassin who assassinated His Majesty in Spring Hunt that day I don't know if the princess has any idea about her identity?"

Shen Qinghou didn't answer her question directly, but instead asked with a light smile: "You should be suspecting that the assassin was arranged by the second prince, right?"

Lin Sishen expressed a conjecture in his heart: "The second prince is indeed suspected, all of this is too strange. While Laos sent envoys to the capital to discuss business matters, they also sent people to assassinate His Majesty. The prince wants to take advantage of the prince’s private connection with Laos, and take the opportunity to send someone pretending to be a spy of Laos to assassinate His Majesty, so as to accuse the prince of collaborating with the enemy country, which makes sense.”

Shen Qinghou shook her head, she looked at Lin Sishen coldly and calmly, as if she was intentionally or unintentionally reminding Lin Sishen: "But if this matter is really planned by the second prince secretly, then the consequences he has to bear are too great Some. Now that he is evenly matched with the prince, there is no need to take such a risk to pull the prince down."

Lin Sishen's heart moved, she lowered her eyes and said softly: "Liao Kingdom is the same as Jin Kingdom. There are two major factions in the court. One faction is the leader and the other is the leader of the war. This time, the envoys sent to the Jin Kingdom are members of the Lord and Harmony faction. .If the main combat faction does not want to do business with Jin and Laos, so it seems possible to send someone to assassinate His Majesty. But in a short period of time, someone will be needed to install someone in the palace. The assassin may not be sent by the second prince. Yes, but the assassin sneaked into the palace, I'm afraid the second prince has tampered with it."

Sure enough, Lin Sishen's words made Shen Qinghou slightly nodded: "The second prince is indeed involved, but he is not the mastermind, he just took advantage of the wind."

Lin Sishen looked at Shen Qinghou firmly, and suddenly asked, "Perhaps the Princess has guessed the direction of this matter from the very beginning. From assassins assassinating His Majesty, to the bombing of the underground gambling house in Manxianglou, and even to the fact that someone Inform the crown prince, the princess seems to know all about it."

When Shen Qinghou heard the words, she just glanced at her lightly, and did not deny it.

Seeing her expression like this, Lin Sishen took a deep breath in his heart, Shen Qinghou was too scary a woman, her face was calm and calm, but secretly she knew everyone's every move.

Shen Qinghou seemed to have guessed what Lin Sishen was thinking at this moment. Looking at Lin Sishen's expressionless face, she asked softly, "You think people like me are scary."

Lin Sishen suddenly laughed softly, she shook her head helplessly and sighed: "I'm just glad that I didn't choose to stand opposite the princess."

Shen Qinghou shook his head coldly and said: "It's just that I took a lot longer than you to prepare for this matter. I'm not a man of ingenuity, but I just know how to plan ahead."

"The princess is too self-effacing." Lin Sishen didn't think so, from the time she guessed the person Shen Qinghou chose, Lin Sishen knew that her courage and strategy were far superior to others.

Facing the calm woman in front of him, Lin Sishen couldn't help but continue to ask: "The princess once said that the balance has not tilted so we don't need to do anything. What if the balance has started to tilt because of this?"

Shen Qinghou said lightly: "No one wants to see the balance tilt, even if it does tilt, someone will straighten it up."

Lin Sishen closed his eyes and smiled softly: "So the time the Princess is waiting for is when the balance is restored, right?"

If the prince falls, the emperor will naturally not let the second prince's family dominate, he will definitely support another person to check and balance with the second prince, and that person is the one who Shen Qinghou really planned for.

If that day comes, I am afraid that the situation in the DPRK and China will become more and more precarious.

Shen Qinghou's clear eyes were stained with a complex expression, she looked at Lin Sishen fixedly, and suddenly asked softly: "I wonder if Young Master Lin has ever blamed Qinghou?"

Lin Sishen shook her head earnestly, and she sighed softly: "What am I blaming the princess for? Even if there is no princess, the general's mansion can't get out of it. With the princess here, I feel relieved. I only hope that the princess will return." Remember the promise you made to me before, whether I'm here or not."

"You..." Shen Qinghou's expression changed slightly, she looked at Lin Sishen with some hesitation, then she suddenly turned her back to Lin Sishen, and whispered: "You will see it with your own eyes."

After a short silence, Lin Sishen looked at the thin coat on her body, hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but reminded: "The night wind is a bit cold, the princess should rest earlier."

Shen Qinghou turned her head and glanced at her, as if thinking of something, said with a light smile on the corner of her lips, "You think I'm you, with such a weak body."

Lin Sishen frowned slightly, and retorted with a soft snort, "I'm not that weak at all, if I hadn't been soaked in cold water for so long when I was sick to save the princess."

Shen Qinghou couldn't help but mocked: "It seems that Mr. Lin's memory is not very good."

Lin Sishen spat and said in dissatisfaction: "Is it possible that the princess wants to renege on the debt? I was sick for more than half a month because of saving you, and then my body became weaker and weaker."

Hearing what she said, Shen Qinghou didn't refute anymore, she looked at Lin Sishen with a half-smile and opened her lips and said, "Just treat it as if you saved me, then if I know that you can't do it and marry you, it's considered repayment ?”

Lin Sishen gave her a blank look, touched his face and said with a smile: "However, I am also one of the most handsome young men in the capital. I don't know how many women in the boudoir are crying and shouting to marry me. It seems that the princess said so. It's like people want to marry me."

Shen Qinghou stared at Lin Sishen's feminine and beautiful face, bit her lips and said angrily, "I didn't notice how handsome she is, but I can see how thick-skinned she is."

Lin Sishen is still very confident about his face: "Could it be possible for you to pick out a young master who is more handsome than me from the capital? You know, some people outside say that you just fell in love with my face and that's why you insist on marrying me." mine."

Shen Qinghou walked up to Lin Sishen slowly, her half-smiling and silent appearance made Lin Sishen feel alarmed, and couldn't help but quietly took a step back.

Looking at her face, Shen Qinghou raised his hand suddenly, and lightly brushed Lin Sishen's eyebrows with his white fingertips. Lin Sishen didn't avoid it, but closed his eyes slightly, and then heard a chuckle in his ear.

"If Mr. Lin's appearance was a woman, it would be even more exciting."

Lin Sishen gasped for breath, she showed a trace of embarrassment and hurriedly took a step back, said with a smile: "The princess is really joking, if I am a woman, how can the princess marry me."

Shen Qinghou withdrew his hand and stood tall, blinked his narrow and clear eyes slightly, and jokingly said, "If you can't marry, you can marry."

"The Princess has an early rest, I'm leaving first."

Lin Sishen heard the words, the pinnae of her ears hidden in her hair turned red unknowingly in the darkness, she pursed her lips and said a word, jumped out of the window as if fleeing, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The author has something to say: Xiao Linzi is a counselor.
