Chapter 352 352
The fourth prince didn't want to recall the days when he was in the imperial palace. He was born in a royal family that was indifferent, so there was no warmth at all, not to mention that he was helpless and bullied.
Lin Sishen once gave him a trace of warmth, and also witnessed his struggles and frustrations when he was still at the bottom of the valley. Most importantly, Lin Sishen accidentally lit the spark in the deepest part of his heart that longed for power and status. .
As for what kind of thoughts he has for Lin Sishen, I'm afraid the fourth prince himself can't say clearly, but he does have such an inexplicable affection for Lin Sishen, it's not a deep love, but a pathological coveting and possessive desire.
When Lin Sishen was very young, he had Zhang Junmei's handsome face, which surpassed countless girls.After she became an adult, she added a bit of indistinguishable heroism. In addition, she has always been weak and sick, and most of the time she has a weak and lazy posture.
Although everyone regards her as a useless embroidered pillow, when they really see her, they can't help but marvel at her appearance.
The fourth prince is naturally no exception. He always remembered Lin Sishen, and after meeting again in Anqing City, his eyes brightened again, and he developed a strong interest and impulse towards Lin Sishen. What's more, Shen Qingwan fell in love with Lin Sishen, so — It becomes more and more special when you come.
But his feelings for Lin Sishen were not out of admiration, he just wanted to snatch Lin Sishen away from Shen Qingwan's side, confine himself by his side as a plaything, just like a bird in a cage with a sparrow in its palm.Let her see with her own eyes that she became the supreme emperor who ruled the world, making her unwilling but forced to submit to herself.
—Thinking of that day, he couldn't help trembling with excitement.
But now he is still afraid of Shen Qingwan after all, and he is still trying to regain Shen Qingwan's help, so naturally he will not reveal his intentions on the surface.But if he really waits for Bu Dengtian to hold the power to kill, the first thing he has to do is to get rid of Shen Qingwan, completely abandon the cowardly fourth prince who had to rely on others, and become a real emperor .
But his top priority now is naturally to get rid of the second prince and enter the East Palace, and he still needs to rely on Shen Qingwan.
There was a dim light in the fourth prince's eyes. After gradually withdrawing from the memory, he raised his eyes to look at Shen Qingwan who was examining himself, without showing any clues on his face. He didn't tell the truth about what happened back then, but frowned He murmured: "Wan'er, Shen'er often went to the palace at that time, so she had to interact with me. What's more, she was still young at that time, so she would inevitably show some clues, so it shouldn't be surprising for me to have suspicions."
Shen Qingwan looked at him expressionlessly, a faint light flashed across her clear eyes, she lifted her lips coldly and smiled unmoved, and asked softly: "Really?"
The fourth prince nodded, and looked at Shen Qingwan sincerely: "Wan'er, is it possible that you don't believe a word of what the fourth brother said now? These days, the fourth brother has indeed done a lot of things to offend you , but that is because the fourth brother thought you abandoned the fourth brother, if you feel unhappy because of this, the fourth brother will apologize to you."
With that said, the Fourth Prince folded his hands and slowly bent over, saluting Shen Qingwan.
Shen Qingwan quietly watched him direct and act, not only unmoved by it, but even bored in her heart.But on the bright side, she still showed affection to the fourth prince after all, she raised her hand to support the fourth prince, and said in a cold tone: "Brother fourth, you don't need to be so polite, I just came today to make a deal with fourth brother. I can tell you about Brother Erhuang and Sun Wenqian's secret deployment in Longyou, but in exchange for it, you must promise me one thing."
Speaking of this, Shen Qingwan's tone paused, and then said seriously: "I want you to promise me that no matter what happens in the future, it will never be against the general's mansion or Shen'er."
The fourth prince stood up when he heard the words, and agreed without the slightest hesitation. To show his sincerity, he even swore with his fingers up.Shen Qingwan didn't stop him, but listened to him make the oath without saying a word.
Naturally, Shen Qingwan would not believe the fourth prince's oath, but she had originally planned to tell the fourth prince the mystery of Longling.
She told the truth about Longling's existence, and the fourth prince couldn't believe it. Although he guessed that Longyou was hiding a big secret, he didn't expect this secret to be so terrifying. He never thought that the second prince had such a secret. Courage, dare to set up troops in Longyou privately.
But that's fine, he felt ecstasy, because of this alone, he could completely defeat the second prince in one fell swoop, so that he would never be able to stand up again. It seems that he must be the new king.
But this matter was ultimately Shen Qingwan's unflattering words, and while he was overjoyed, the fourth prince asked suspiciously: "Wan'er, did you really see with your own eyes that the second brother built a private military camp underground in Longyou?"
"good."
Shen Qingwan nodded, glanced at him casually, and reminded softly: "Although I saw it with my own eyes, but I don't have any evidence in hand, if the fourth brother wants to report the second brother in front of the emperor, I'm afraid We also need to send people to Longyou to find evidence. Only with all the witnesses and material evidence can we be sure to testify against the second emperor brother."
The fourth prince pondered for a moment when he heard the words, but still had some doubts. He looked at Shen Qingwan's expression: "Wan'er, you know that the second brother is stationed in Longyou, why did you turn to help him?"
Shen Qingwan lifted her lips and smiled lightly, and asked back: "Brother Fourth Emperor, did you think that it was my intention to help Brother Second Emperor?"
The fourth prince soon understood: "Is it the father's private instruction?"
Shen Qingwan didn't nod in agreement, but she didn't say anything to refute. She just glanced at her meaningfully, and then turned around slowly, as if planning to leave.
The fourth prince's eyes flickered, and he sneered secretly: "It seems that the father thinks that I have gained power recently, and wants you to join the second prince's command, and take this opportunity to suppress my arrogance."
Shen Qingwan walked slowly to the window, and said quietly without turning her head: "Wan'er will leave now, and I hope Brother Four will not forget today's oath."
"Don't worry, Wan'er, Brother Si will definitely not forget what I promised you."
The fourth prince was a little dazed, and he answered a sentence, but in an instant, when he looked up at the window, there was no sign of Shen Qingwan in the room, only the slightly opened carved wooden window, and a wisp of light from the window. The breeze that sneaked in came blowing.
The fourth prince stared at the wooden window, and spat out three words in disdain: "Stupid woman."
After finishing speaking, he walked to the window and closed the wooden window tightly, then slowly lowered his head and stood by the window - motionless, with a gloomy and gloomy light constantly shining in his eyes.After a while, he suddenly sneered a few times, and then not only did he not hold back, but his laughter became louder and more arrogant, and he became more and more complacent, so that he woke up the guards who were dozing outside the door.
The guard stared at the door and looked at each other, hesitated for a while, then raised his hand and knocked on the door nervously, but after knocking, the door was suddenly pulled open, and the figure of the fourth prince was immediately exposed in front of the eyes of several people. Several people—after being shocked, hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
The fourth prince stood expressionlessly behind the door, his handsome face was - half hidden in the shadows, - half exposed to the candlelight, it was so cold and strange that people shuddered.With drooping eyelids, he stared at the trembling guards kneeling at his feet, and said coldly: "Idiot, everyone has entered this king's house, and you don't even notice, what's the use of raising you."
The guards were stunned when they heard the words, subconsciously bowing down to plead guilty: "The lowly guards are not effective, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
The fourth prince snorted coldly, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, I am in a good mood today, so I will not bother with you for the time being, and send someone to call Li Wei, I have something to tell him."
After saying those words, the fourth prince was about to turn around and go back to the house, but when he turned around, he paused and ordered in a deep voice: "From now on, we will send more people to patrol the palace. If anyone breaks into the mansion again, be careful!" head."
The guards were frightened into a cold sweat, and they hurriedly nodded in response.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in black with a long sword on his back appeared outside the door of the Fourth Prince's room.After respectfully asking for instructions in front of the door, the Fourth Prince let him into the room for a secret talk.
At the same time, on the roof not far outside the house, a white shadow approached quietly, like a gust of wind, passing by without a sound, and the tiptoes fell on the eaves, bathed in the cold and bright moonlight, Closing his eyes thoughtfully, he watched the man in black step into the door of the Fourth Prince's room.
And among the guards who were patrolling the palace, one happened to raise his eyes unintentionally, and from the corner of his eyes, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a white shadow on the roof. He immediately jumped in fright, shouted and drew his sword out of its sheath: " There are assassins."
But when everyone was waiting in line and asked him where the assassin was, he blinked and saw that the roof was already empty, and there was not even a ghost. The white shadow just now was like a hallucination.
The leader looked around for a long while, but he didn't see any movement around, so he breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to give the man a slap, and said in a low voice: "You boy, I'm afraid you are dazzled, what are you shouting about?"
The man touched his face with some grievances, and muttered to himself, but he couldn't stop looking at the roof in doubt.
