Chapter 246 Relics
"Well, how can this be called a threat?...I'm telling the truth." Shen Liuzhen blinked guiltyly, folded the drawing papers, stuffed them into the envelope, and sealed it.

Then shamelessly put it directly into Liu Qinbing's hands and asked him to send it.

……

Chongsu Palace is just outside the palace city, in the square closest to the palace city.In the early years, for the convenience of going up and down the court, and assisting the young Shi Yu naively in handling the court affairs, Shi Yu Foli specially built a mansion nearby for him.

Logically speaking, this mansion closest to Miyagi should be affected the most and directly by the turmoil in the court, and it should be volatile with the wind and clouds in the center of the vortex.

But ever since Shi Yutian, Prince of Jingmu, died of depression, the Chongsu Palace seemed to have disappeared from the world. There is a layer of enchantment that is isolated from the world.

The sky had just turned blue in the morning, Shen Liuzhen stepped on the stirrups to get off the carriage, and looked at the old door plaque on the Chongsu Palace.

The gate of the palace was closed, only a small corner door next to it was open, and two servants came out of it, one was holding a kettle to sprinkle water, the other was holding a broom, sweeping the fallen leaves and dust in front of the door.

They saw Shen Liuzhen's carriage, but they just glanced at it, they didn't come up to ask, nor rolled their eyes, they just concentrated on doing their own things.

Shen Liuzhen found this scene quite interesting.

Is it true that Prince Chongsu doesn't listen to things outside the window, and even the servants in the house reveal a detached temperament?
Liu Qinbing walked up to Shen Liuzhen's side, leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice, "You forgot that the emperor, who was the grandson of the emperor, was shut down here last time? What will you do if he doesn't see you?"

Shen Liuzhen said confidently: "This moment, that moment, what was the situation then, and what is the situation now?"

Liu Qinbing thought for a while, but still didn't understand, and asked: "At that time, the emperor was not His Majesty the Emperor, but now His Majesty the Emperor is His Majesty the Emperor, so is Lord Chongsu afraid?"

The smile on Shen Liuzhen's face faltered when he heard that, he turned to look at Liu Qinbing and said, "It's not that I'm talking about Big Brother Liu, your thinking is superficial. If he cared about whether Wu Lei should be the emperor, he wouldn't have taken advantage of the situation and become a slave. Is he a hero?"

"Then what do you mean? What was the situation in the past, and what is the situation now?" Liu Qinbing asked suspiciously.

Shen Liuzhen looked in the direction of the corner gate, his eyes were gloomy, and he seemed to be lost in memories, he sighed sadly, and said:
"At that time, Prince Jingmu's death was unclear, but now, there is an explanation..."

After Shen Liuzhen finished speaking, he wiped away the desolation on his face, replaced it with a warm and gentle smile, and walked towards the two servants who were sweeping.

Liu Qinbing didn't understand the key points of this sentence, but what Shen Liuzhen said probably made sense, so he watched from behind, thinking that Shen Liuzhen would be invited in easily, but in the end...

"Brother, please send me a message, just say that your Majesty's companion in the past, Shen Liuzhen, Shen Shizhong has something to see."

The two servants seemed to have known it for a long time, looked at him calmly and said:
"My lord, please go back. Our prince is sick, and he is alone, so it is inconvenient to see guests."

When Liu Qinbing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly lowered his head and turned his face away, pretending to be very busy, reaching out to pat the horse and the sweeper to ease the embarrassment.

His lord is too self-confident, it's the first time he was embarrassed, in order to take care of his face, it's better to pretend he doesn't know...

Shen Liuzhen was still persuading, with the dimples on his face smiling clearly, he took out a few heavy copper plates from his bosom, stuffed them into the servant's hand, and said:

"Brother, please give it a try, maybe your lord is willing to see me all of a sudden."

The servant with the broom immediately pushed the copper plate back, frowned and said:
"My lord...don't embarrass us, you don't know what will happen to the servants who helped pass the message back and disturbed the prince's peace...We still want to be good."

"So it's like this..." Shen Liuzhen smiled apologetically, and turned around dejectedly.

Just when the two servants thought he had given up, Shen Liuzhen turned back again, and the Confucian scholar's wide sleeves turned half a circle gracefully.

He put away the copper plate in his hand, but took out a book from his sleeve, raised the book above his head with both hands, bowed, and said respectfully:
"This is Prince Jingmu's relic, and I invite you two to present it to Lord Chongsu."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two impatient servants suddenly changed. They looked at each other, and carefully looked at the booklet Shen Liuzhen was holding in his hand.

Seeing that there were some inconspicuous brown blood stains on the booklet, his face became more serious.

The man with the broom handed the broom to his companion, rubbed his hands on his clothes, then bent down respectfully, took the booklet from Shen Liuzhen with both hands, and said:

"I'll send it off right away, Mr. Shen wait a moment..."

After saying that, he held the book and hurried in the door.

Only then did Shen Liuzhen straighten up, thank you, then turned around and walked to Liu Qinbing's side, standing with him.

Liu Qinbing was dumbfounded at this moment, looked at him and asked, "How do you know they will definitely care about that booklet?"

With his sleeves in his hands, Shen Liuzhen sighed and said, "Lord Chongsu and Prince Jingmu have a deep relationship. When I came last time, I heard from their kitchen that the lord had already molded a golden body for Prince Jingmu. It is enshrined at home, and fresh fruit snacks are offered every day, and the incense burns continuously every day, and the prince Chongsu himself cooks it himself, just imagine...the relics of Prince Jingmu, can they not care about it?"

"Hmm... um?... When did you talk to the people in their kitchen, why didn't I know?" Liu Qinbing widened his eyes in surprise.

Shen Liuzhen said very normally: "What's the matter? When you were all waiting for Xin'er at the front door, didn't I go to the back door to borrow a latrine, and met the cook who came back from shopping, and just chatted for a while."

Liu Qinbing didn't hear it, and involuntarily gave him a thumbs up.After a while, he asked again:

"Then tell me, since he has such a deep relationship with Prince Jingmu, why didn't he want to see his son at the beginning? Didn't he want Prince Jingmu's son to be the emperor?"

Shen Liuzhen thought for a while, with desolation in his eyes that didn't match his age, and said, "What about the son? Isn't it his biological father who drove Prince Jing Mu to a dead end?"

At this moment, the servant who delivered the brochures came out and said to Shen Liuzhen, "Master Shen, the lord is here to invite you."
