"Nonsense!" Wang Zhi pushed Zhang Weizhao to the ground, stood up and walked to the side, as if he was afraid that something bad would touch him.

Zhang Weizhao lay on the ground and laughed.

Wang Zhi suddenly came to his senses, Zhang Weizhao was changing his ways to squeeze him. If he doesn't believe it, it means that he knows that Zhang Weizhao doesn't know how to be disgusted with victory and curse, and he must have other plans to extort confessions through heavy torture. If he believed, he would have to admit that he would not live to be thirty years old, which was undoubtedly a very vicious curse for the Great Yan people, who were more or less in awe of ghosts and gods.

Wang Zhi didn't plan to listen to Zhang Weizhao's nonsense, he wanted to see the real chapter directly. He clenched his pliers and grabbed Zhang Weizhao's hair.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice from the door: "Grandpa Wang." ”

Wang Zhi paused for a moment, his tense muscles relaxed, he let go of his hand, and instantly changed the hideous look on his face to a peaceful expression, turned his head and said hello: "Father-in-law Huaien!" What is the wind that brought you here? ”

The outsider is the emperor's most trusted personal attendant, and he is also the palm seal eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, Huai'en. His original surname was Dai, and Huai'en was the emperor's imperial name to show trust and favor.

"Your Majesty has an order to summon the Taoist doctor Zhang Weizhao to the Maoqin Hall for personal interrogation." Wynne said succinctly.

"Oh? Did even His Majesty be alarmed by this matter? Wang Zhi asked.

"The stakes are very high, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother both think that they should not be neglected." Wynne replied with a straight face.

The witch case is a major event in any dynasty and generation. For example, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, tens of thousands of people were killed because of it.

The seemingly routine answer between the two people actually contains a lot of information in the middle. Zhang Weizhao lay on the ground and could hear clearly. Wang Zhi actually wanted to know how deeply the emperor was concerned about this incident. And Huai En told Wang Zhi that he moved the Queen Mother's people, and the Queen Mother would not give up and ask the emperor for an explanation.

Although the emperor responds to Jin Guifei's requests, the old lady's face cannot be ignored. Although the Queen Mother has always put on an attitude that I want to live for the rest of my life and not get involved in your affairs, it really annoyed her, and the banner of filial piety was enough for the emperor and Jin Guifei to drink a pot.

"In that case, then there is Father-in-law Lao Huaien." Wang bowed to Wynne.

Wynne returned the salute and stopped being polite to him. Instead, he walked straight to Zhang Weizhao's side, squatted down and asked, "Daoyi Zhang, can you get up and walk?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Weizhao replied calmly. She stood up slowly but steadily with her hands on the ground. Tidy up your clothes first and pat off the dust. Then he put his hair back in a bun with bleeding, trembling hands.

"Alright. I can go. She looked at Wynne.

"Good. Please come with me. Huai En motioned for Zhang Weizhao to follow, and then said to Wang Zhi: "I'll go first." ”

Wang Zhidao: "Please!" ”

When Zhang Weizhao walked past Wang Zhi, he saluted Wang Zhi with a raised palm: "Father-in-law Wang, thank you for your hospitality." There will be a period later! ”

The muscles on Wang Zhi's face jumped, and he said coldly: "Daoyi Zhang, goodbye!" ”

Zhang Weizhao straightened his back and walked out of the inner torture hall.

The Maoqin Hall was only the emperor's office in the harem, not a place where court meetings were held.

Entering the Maoqin Palace, Huaien bowed to the emperor who was sitting behind the bookcase and said, "Your Majesty, someone has brought it." ”

The Emperor waved his hand, and Wynne retreated not far behind the Emperor and bowed his head to stand by.

Zhang Weizhao knelt in front of the bookcase. Chen Jianjun looked her up and down and said, "Get up and talk back." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Weizhao stood up steadily.

Chen Jianjun is not an emperor who has not experienced wind and rain, he knows what the inner torture hall of the Forbidden City is. I also know a little about Wang Zhi's methods of doing things. He couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that Zhang Weizhao had been in the Inner Torture Hall for more than an hour, and he could still stand here calmly at this time.

"Did Wang Zhi embarrass you?" Chen Jianjun asked.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Father-in-law Wang pulled out one of my fingernails, and the rest was not embarrassed. ”

"Pulled out one of your fingernails?"

"Yes!"

Chen Jianjun wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Weizhao. He'd seen people get their nails pulled. Back then, his father Chen Huaishen was imprisoned in Nangong, and his uncle Chen Huaiyu was the emperor. The uncle had found all kinds of excuses to torture the palace maids and eunuchs who served him in front of him, hoping to frighten him to death or go crazy when he was a child, so that the crown prince would naturally fall to his son. It's a pity that it didn't work out yet, and the uncle himself died first.

Chen Jianjun knows how painful it is for people to have their nails pulled out. He didn't believe that a teenage cardamom girl could stand here and talk to him after such torture.

Originally, when he got out of the morning court, he saw Zhao Qin, the eunuch in charge of Changle Palace, come to meet him, saying that the Queen Mother had an urgent matter and asked the emperor to move to Changle Palace.

The Empress Dowager has always cared about Chen Jianjun's hard work in the government, and she did not easily make requests to the emperor. Suddenly said that there was something urgent today, and Chen Jianjun immediately rushed over.

The palace maid next to the queen mother told the story for the queen mother, and it turned out that a little palace maid died violently, so someone reported that someone in Changle Palace had carried out witchcraft, which led to the death of this palace maid. The person who was accused was actually the Taoist doctor that the Queen Mother often brought with her recently, Zhang Weizhao.

This Taoist doctor Chen Jianjun had the impression that she still had some skills. I remember one time Renhe choked on eating, and it was she who used some kind of first aid method to squeeze something out of her throat. And during the Chinese New Year, she made a mirror of eternity, and you can see the picture of the activity from the lens, and then that thing was very popular in the harem for a while.

However, although this Taoist doctor has good medical skills and a bit of ingenuity, Chen Jianjun only thinks that this is just the cleverness of a little girl. If she had the power to curse people to death, he would not believe it.

What made him more strange was why the Queen Mother was so anxious about this matter, and said that this girl had been chanting and praying for her, if such a person was lost in the hands of those eunuchs in the Inner Torture Hall, he was afraid that Daozu would blame him.

Even the Dao Ancestor has moved out, which shows that the Queen Mother really values this Taoist doctor very much. Zhang Weizhao's virtue and how could he make the Queen Mother so worried, but it made Chen Jianjun want to explore. Moreover, the matter involved the extremely sensitive topic of witch Gu, Chen Jianjun decided to ask about it in person.

When he came out of Changle Palace, he instructed Huai En to go to the Inner Torture Hall immediately and bring someone over to show him. Don't go late, it's not good to break someone, he won't be able to find a similar person to come over to relieve his mother's boredom for a while.

Who knew that this little girl showed a composure that was very inappropriate for her age, which made him a little suspicious. Could it be that she was first accused of not being completely a result of jealousy between the palace maids?

Chen Jianjun looked at Zhang Weizhao carefully again. I saw that her eyebrows were unusually delicate, and there was still a lot of immaturity on her face. Although he had just come out of the inner torture hall, his face couldn't help but look pale and haggard, but he really didn't have much panic and fear.

He sat behind the table and asked, "You have had your nails pulled out in the inner torture hall, aren't you afraid of pain?" ”

"It's painful and scary." Zhang Weizhao replied briefly and concisely, and then asked rhetorically: "Did Your Majesty see that I didn't panic and cry, so I have such a question?" ”

Chen Jianjun saw that she spoke so bluntly, but he became a little interesting, and said, "That's right." When you are tortured like this, you don't cry or panic, is it really because you know witchcraft and are not afraid of pain? ”

"It's not that I'm not afraid of pain, it's that I don't fight it. The body is just a pipe, it hurts, it is afraid, it is natural. These pains and fears will come, they will penetrate me, and then they will go away. I'll just let it be here, let it penetrate me, let it go away. ”

Chen Jianjun blinked his eyes and looked at Zhang Weizhao: "Are you preaching the Fa to me?" ”

Zhang Weizhao is actually talking about the basic common sense of psychology. Usually when people encounter painful feelings and painful emotions, they will go to great lengths to deny and resist it, as if they can avoid suffering. But aches and pains are a procedure that goes away when it's done. And if you keep resisting it, you're always injecting energy into it, extending its running time, and bringing more painful experiences.

So the best way to deal with pain and suffering is to allow it to run and finish through itself, and then say goodbye to it.

That being said, there are very few people who can execute it perfectly. Because this requires people to have a wide enough inner space and enough mental energy to achieve it.

In fact, Zhang Weizhao can't do it at the moment. The reason why she behaved so calmly was actually a stress response after a major trauma. Her hand was painful, but far less painful than her heart. The wound on her hand was no longer bleeding, but her heart was refining in blood and fire. And this refining is constantly giving her strength, helping her shield her from the trauma in her body, allowing her to stand here steadily.

Pothos, I won't let you die for nothing. Good things cannot just be destroyed in a vacuum, becoming the blood mud that nourishes evil.

Zhang Weizhao smiled and answered the emperor's question: "This is not only Taoism, but also medical skills. Tao is the foundation, medicine is the technology. Only by using Taoism to support medical skills can medical skills not only stop at the final skills of herbal medicine and acupuncture, but also have a broader vision and in-depth vision. For example, if I look at Your Majesty now, I can see a trace of ice blue in the five-colored auspicious light behind you. ”

When Chen Jianjun heard this, he couldn't help but be disappointed. He originally thought that this Taoist doctor was a smart and interesting girl, but at a young age, his childishness had not subsided, so he began to learn from those who sold his fame and reputation, and said something about dragon spirit and auspiciousness, and deceived the emperor in order to become rich. It is no wonder that such a person will be disgusted and jealous by her peers, and they will sue her for pretending to be a ghost. Presumably she faced the Queen Mother, and she was also so clever that the Queen Mother was so attentive to her.
