"Yes, it is a line of poetry." Zhu Jin nodded. "Because it matches the mood of the painting, I wrote it in cursive script and used ancient characters. You probably can't tell what the characters are."
"Ancient characters?" Thanks to Zhu Jin, Prison Guard Qiu understood cursive script, but he still didn't understand ancient characters. Everyone on the Blue Water Star has learned ancient poems, such as "Geese, Goose, Goose", "Singing with their necks bent to the sky". Which line is it?
"It's the writing that the ancients used, which is a little more complicated than the current ones." Zhu Jin quickly explained and then asked, "Is it okay to donate this embroidered screen to the prison?" According to common sense, he should like it very much.
“…This…is this going to be sent to the prison?” Prison Guard Qiu suddenly looked up and stuttered.
"Yes, judging from your reaction, there should be no problem." Seeing that she was stuttering, Zhu Jin knew her answer without her reply. She put away the embroidered screen in a good mood and said, "I'll give it to Prison Guard Lu." Prison Guard Lu was the prison guard in charge of the previous embroidery she had.
"Hey? Hey! Hey..." Prison guard Qiu felt a little dizzy. She didn't know why Zhu Jin said the words to the prison so calmly. The huge surprise made her heart beat wildly, and she followed Zhu Jin out of the workshop.
After explaining his purpose to Prison Guard Lu, Zhu Jin received the news that Kawaki Tsuyoshi was coming for a follow-up visit. He handed the embroidered screen box to Prison Guard Lu and went to the treatment room.
"Is this Dr. Zhu Jin's embroidery?" Prison Guard Lu took the big box carefully from Zhu Jin with a look of surprise on his face, "Why is it so long..." He couldn't wait to open it.
"Wait, wait a minute..." Prison Guard Qiu grabbed Prison Guard Lu and said, "Put it on the table properly, and then calm down before opening it." This is an embroidered screen whose value she could not estimate, and there could be no room for any mistakes. Zhu Jin could be so casual about it, but she couldn't!
"I want to see..." Prison Guard Lu was forced to move to the front of the table. He looked at Prison Guard Qiu's expression with shining eyes, "Is it another double-sided embroidery?" Although after hard work, those embroidery experts are now able to embroider double-sided embroidery, but Zhu Jin's double-sided embroidery is still the unique treasure of the prison.
"It's beyond your imagination..." Prison Guard Qiu warned with a serious face.
"No matter what, I want to see it. It won't give you a heart attack, don't worry!" Prison Guard Lu pushed Prison Guard Qiu aside and opened the box.
A moment later, screams were heard from the room. The emotions of surprise, excitement, and disbelief turned into a scream, "Ah... I can't believe it! I can't believe it!"
"Prison Guard Qiu, am I dreaming? Pinch me, try it and see..."
"Ouch... it hurts so much, why did you hit me so hard!"
"It seems to be true. It has become the treasure of our prison...haha, my new prison treasure..."
The prison guards who rushed over after hearing the strange screams failed to stop the chaos and instead joined in it.
"Ah..." At the same time, in the treatment room, Kawaki Tou, who had made up his mind not to make a sound this time, couldn't help but yell again while soaking in the medicinal bath. After yelling, he tried his best to hold it in and hypnotize himself that it didn't hurt.
"Ahhh..." After enduring for a few seconds, a chorus of voices came from outside. Kawaki Michi felt that others might not be able to recognize it as his own voice, so he screamed again.
“…I think Dr. Zhu Jin needs noise-canceling headphones…” Zi Su couldn’t help but mutter to her cellmate.
"I think so too." The cellmate nodded wildly, then carefully picked up the moxa stick at hand and meticulously hung the moxa on the place where Zhu Jin drew.
“…Thank you for your hard work.” The young man lying there obediently thanked him shyly.
“…You’ve worked hard.” The cellmate looked up at the young man for a moment and replied in a low voice. If she hadn’t followed Doctor Zhu Jin, she would never have known that the soldiers of the Blue Water Star were so worthy of respect.
She had only known that their treatment was constantly improving, and that they always went on missions despite the relative peace, and that it was hard and dangerous, but she had never known that their hard and dangerous work would ruin their bodies like this. In an era of increasingly complete equipment, they still had various chronic diseases in their bodies. It was impossible to imagine what they had been through.
“…It’s nothing…” The young man didn’t expect to get such an answer. After a moment, he managed to utter a few words. His face was full of regret and embarrassment, but his happy and excited emotions continued.
Being recognized and praised by others is the best thing no matter what.
"Patient Chuanmutong, the time has come. You don't need to wear outer clothes as before. Doctor Zhu Jin will perform acupuncture and moxibustion treatments on you." When the time came, Zi Su came to the outside of the medicinal bath room to remind people.
"Okay." Kawaki Michi gritted his teeth and stood up. He had survived another time!
"The situation is getting better and better." Zhu Jin said to him while inserting the needle, "Although it cannot be cured, you should come to me for treatment once a month in the future. If you pay more attention to yourself, there will be no serious relapse."
"I will definitely pay attention." Kawaki Michi responded simply as he looked at his body that had finally returned to normal, and then asked, "Doctor Zhu Jin, where should we find you after you are released from prison?" The brothers were all counting on her to live an easy life.
"We haven't decided where yet. Please write me your contact information and I will give it to you after I decide on a place." He didn't want to go back to the palace, but he hadn't found a new home yet.
"Are you going to live outside?" Kawaki Michi's eyes lit up.
"Well, it's convenient to live outside, but I don't know where it is yet."
"Let us help you find it! We will definitely make you satisfied and safe!" Kawaki Michi said immediately, "It's decided!"
"No need, I'll take a look myself..." Zhu Jin and Kawaki Michi looked at each other and refused.
"What can you see? Didn't you say you've lost your memories? We'll help you see it. Don't worry, it will be one of the safest places in the Blue Water Planet." Kawaki Tou replied without hesitation. After he looked at Zhu Jin, he hesitated for a moment and thought of what Lao Zhang said before continuing, "...If you're not sure, you can wait until you see it first before deciding. We'll help you choose a place first."
If this thing succeeds, it will be a great thing. Lao Zhang will be so excited.
"Okay." Zhu Jin thought about it and agreed without hesitation.
Kawakitoshi grinned and promised, "I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
"Stop talking, it's time for the final injection." Zhu Jin knew that he was telling the truth and did not refute him. Instead, he felt a little excited.
After seeing off Kawaki Dori and the others, the afternoon was almost over. Prison guards Qiu, Lu and other prison guards came to Zhu Jin with red faces, walked around to help, and looked at Zhu Jin as if he was not looking at a person. "Doctor Zhu Jin, thank you very much for your gift. I have already reported it to the warden. Hehe, it's really good. This is the first time I have seen an ancient painting up close like this, and it is embroidered!"
Prison Guard Lu was so excited that he could not express himself. “Doctor Zhu Jin, you are really amazing. You can not only draw ancient paintings but also embroider them. Many painters have imitated ancient paintings before, but except for a few that are okay, they always lack the charm of ancient paintings. Gradually ancient paintings declined, and now other styles of paintings are popular. If they knew that you drew and embroidered them... hehe... and embroidered them double-sided..." Prison Guard Lu grinned foolishly.
"As long as you like it." Zhu Jin had never thought that Xiu Ping would make prison guards Qiu and Lu lose their composure like this, and that it was also related to precious ancient paintings. It was understandable that they were so excited about the ancient paintings. After all, if we only talk about painting, her paintings are really just average. She has seen many paintings in books that are much better than hers.
Although the situation was somewhat unexpected, it was not bad this way. Zhu Jin packed up with Zi Su, who was listening with great interest, and continued to talk to Prison Guard Lu, "That is an embroidered screen. You can put it on a shelf later and display it as a decoration, or..."
"Oh, this is an embroidered screen. Were embroidered screens used in ancient times?" Prison Guard Lu listened carefully. "Were they used a lot?"
"A lot, most families have some." Zhu Jin nodded. Most girls in the boudoir can embroider.
"Oh..." Guard Lu felt that she had learned something new. She continued to ask questions without hesitation, so that she would not be asked anything by others. "Then what are the words embroidered on it, Doctor Zhu Jin? You said it was a poem, but I can't tell what poem it is..."
"It's just one sentence. I wrote it casually that day. It's 'The mountain scenery pleases the birds, and the lake's reflection empties the human heart.'" Zhu Jin smiled at Guard Lu.
"The mountain scenery pleases the birds, and the lake's reflection empties the human heart." Prison Guard Lu repeated it and immediately asked, "I haven't heard the poem you mentioned. Do you have the complete one?" Zi Su and the people around him couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen.
For everyone on the Blue Water Planet, those ancient poems are something that they can recite accurately even in their dreams. After all, they have been learning them since they could speak, and have been learning them continuously for more than ten years, so it is hard not to remember them.
"There is a complete poem. I wrote that one line because I remembered it at that time." Seeing that everyone was listening so attentively, Zhu Jin also answered seriously, "The complete poem is: I entered the ancient temple in the early morning, and the sun shone on the tall forest. The winding path leads to a secluded place, where the Zen room is full of flowers and trees. The mountain scenery pleases the birds, and the reflection of the lake empties people's hearts. All sounds are silent, but the sound of bells and chimes remains."
"It's the poet..." Zhu Jin was about to continue introducing them when prison guard Qiu came in, "Doctor Zhu Jin, someone is visiting."
"Visiting? Who is it at this time?" Zhu Jin asked puzzledly.
"It's you...father." Prison Guard Qiu looked at him with a complicated look.
"Dad..." Zhu Jin murmured, and after a moment he showed a look of sudden realization. He was Lian Nan's father.
"Do you want to see him?" Prison Guard Qiu asked cautiously.
"See, let's go." Zhu Jin nodded, smiled apologetically at Prison Guard Lu and the others, and walked out with Prison Guard Qiu, leaving Prison Guard Lu and the others staring blankly.
"In the leisure area on the first floor." Hearing the reminder from his colleague, Prison Guard Qiu whispered to Zhu Jin that the prison actually had no right to refuse the Queen and the Prince and his wife. Normally, they would be arranged directly in the reception room when they came. But for some reason this time, they were arranged in the leisure area of the prisoners' activity area.
The leisure area is divided into two floors. On the first floor you can read books, drink coffee and listen to music, and on the second floor is an indoor sports room.
When they arrived at the leisure area and walked around the indoor potted plants, they saw a figure blocked by the large potted plants. Prison guard Qiu, who was walking one step behind Zhu Jin, stopped when he saw Zhu Jin stop. He frowned when he saw the two people standing up from their seats.
"A real princess? Where's the prince?" Prison Guard Qiu asked directly. The person in charge of registration only said that the prince had arrived.
"Dad walked away for a while..." Helian Zhen looked at Zhu Jin who had stopped walking and called out with a smile, "Sister..."
Her voice was gentle and clear, and both the tone and emotion were just right. She was no longer the timid girl from a year ago.
