Chapter 247 Poems
Shen Liuzhen was led to the door of a room, and the servant left by himself.

He looked at the closed door, and his heart pounded... This attractive servant is too bad, should he push the door and enter by himself?

What if you enter the wrong room, or see something you shouldn't see?
Could it be that he offended Lord Chongsu at some point, he planned to harm him...

Shen Liuzhen looked around, but there was no one around... The location of this room seemed quite remote.

He thought for a while, pushed his sleeves, and shouted: "My lord, please see me at Shen Liuzhen."

No one in there should...

Shen Liuzhen blinked, straightened his neck, shouted vigorously, and shook his head to cover the entire row of houses. The sound could only be heard by the whole yard...

"My lord...seeking to see Shen Liuzhen~!!"

"Come in!" A deep and majestic shout came from inside, which startled Shen Liuzhen.

Shen Liuzhen quickly put down the hand he was holding, and answered "yes" politely, then bowed slightly, pushed the door open and entered.

The room was filled with the smell of burning incense in Buddhist temples, and the blue-purple smoke was lingering. A tall man with round shoulders and broad shoulders was standing with his back to the door. Half of his withered and yellow hair was mixed with gray hair, making him look even older. up.

But his figure was very tall and straight, and he was dressed in a barbarian's satin and brocade robe, which made him look very burly. Killing someone like Shen Liuzhen must be as easy as killing a chicken.

Shen Liuzhen has always been afraid of this kind of people whose strength is very high at first glance, and whose status is higher than him... He is not afraid of others playing tricks on him, but he is afraid that people who are stronger than him will be unreasonable...

"My lord..." Shen Liuzhen's voice was no longer as strong as before, it was as soft as if he was afraid of waking someone up to sleep.

Lord Chongsu didn't turn around, but asked directly: "Where did you get this collection of poems?"

The voice was cold, and it was in Xianbei.

Shen Liuzhen was stunned for a moment, thinking if he pretended not to understand...

Forget it, I didn't want to see him at first.

If he continues to be so wordy and stupid, it is estimated that Lord Chongsu will be impatient to talk to him and drive him out directly.

"Before Prince Jingmu passed away, I went to visit him with His Majesty, who was still the grandson of the emperor at that time. At that time, Prince Jingmu was drying books. I saw it when I was helping, so I pretended to come back." Shen Liuzhen replied in Chinese , with a respectful posture.

Lord Chongsu has not spoken for a long time...

Just when Shen Liuzhen secretly raised his eyes to see his reaction.

Lord Chongsu spoke again: "Personally pretended to come back?...Hmph, stealing forbidden items, I remember amputating limbs?"

Shen Liuzhen's tone faltered, his eyes rolled twice, and he didn't panic, but said in a sincere and steady tone:

"... At that time, I wanted to plead with Emperor Taiwu secretly, but I didn't have time. I hope the prince will forgive me this time for the sake of my original intention for Prince Jingmu?"

After hearing his words, Lord Chongsu immediately felt good about him... Under the circumstances at that time, someone was willing to take the risk of self-destruction to intercede for Prince Jingmu...

Even if he is not a person who has a deep relationship with Prince Jingmu, he is still an upright person.

Only then did he turn around and look at Shen Liuzhen.

Shen Liuzhen stood up straight with the appearance of a dignified gentleman, just in time to see a golden statue of a man in the form of a human being stepped out from behind Lord Chongsu.

The seated figure is dressed in a traditional Confucian gown made in Han Dynasty, dignified and modest, with handsome eyebrows...

If it wasn't Prince Jingmu, Shi Yu, who was innocent?

Shen Liuzhen was stunned, and Lord Chongsu was also stunned...

Because of Shen Liuzhen's attire, as well as his figure and temperament, only a silhouette can be seen against the light outside the door, very much like the innocent Shi Yu back then...

Lord Chongsu looked in Shen Liuzhen's direction, his eyes flickered violently, unable to hide his excitement.

It wasn't until Shen Liuzhen stepped out of the shroud of light and came close to revealing those pleasing big eyes that the excited light in his eyes went out.

"My lord...can you allow me to use the precious land to pay homage?" Shen Liuzhen's voice was gentle and full of nostalgia, and his attitude was sincere.

A tired look flashed across Prince Chongsu's face, he stretched out his hand to make way for him, and then stood aside.

Shen Liuzhen walked over, stood in front of the statue, and bowed reverently three times.

But at this time, Lord Chongsu held the booklet in his hand, with mournful and loving eyes, and gently stroked it, as if he was touching a dead child of his own.

Prince Chongsu muttered to himself in Xianbei language:

"Before he was alive, his favorite was the collection of poems by the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove... Except for the crown prince and Taifu who had already crashed and died, and me, no one else knew about it... The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove lived in the Jin Dynasty, and they refused to accept the court and did not think about it." Be enterprising, stop being promiscuous. He is a young prince who governs a country, how can he like their poetry collection? This is not in line with everyone's eyes and expectations..."

Shen Liuzhen finished his worship, and when he heard him say that, his heart was heavy and hard to bear.

Originally, every time he thought of Shi Yu's innocence, he felt unwilling and painful, but now he heard Prince Chongsu talk about such a past...

It's even more sad... so sad that I can't speak.

He could only press his lips together, suppressing his emotions, and just stood there, looking at Prince Chongsu without saying a word.

I saw that Lord Chongsu opened the book of poems, stopped on a page where there was an inconspicuous bloody finger print, and looked at the poem on the finger print:

"Can't sleep at night, sit up and play the qin. Thin curtains appreciate the bright moon, and the breeze blows my lapel."

He was stunned, and involuntarily chewed this line twice, as if he suddenly understood the meaning of this line to Shi Yu's innocence, and immediately burst into tears.

He used to be so constrained to himself, worked conscientiously, longed for freedom and unrestrained, and envied the seven sages of the bamboo forest who disregarded other people's eyes.

But when he was really abandoned by his own country and his father, sitting alone in the palace, unable to sleep at night, how sad and disappointed he must be...

The so-called wandering is originally just the helplessness and loneliness of having ambitions but not being rewarded...

When Shen Liuzhen saw a burly elder of Chongsu Prince, he suddenly cried like this. He was a little at a loss for a while, and raised his hand to comfort him, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

So he stood there hesitantly.

Seeing Shen Liuzhen's actions, Lord Chongsu quickly woke up from his grief, collected the poems, boldly wiped away his tears, and asked:

"What are you here for? Just to give me this collection of poems?... Ulay sent you here?"

Shen Liuzhen said sincerely: "...Your Majesty does not know about this collection of poems."

"Then you should give it to him, not to me." Prince Chongsu's words were still merciless.

　I forgot, does Ulay know?
