Chapter 127: Between Ups and Downs
Ups and downs, in the clouds, Chen Jianjun only felt that his body was soft, and he wanted to move but couldn't do it himself, so he couldn't help but be terrified. Suddenly, it seemed to be back to the state of a young child, lonely, miserable and helpless.
"Mother, mother......" He kept calling, hoping that his mother could come to hug him and protect him. In the confusion, a gentle and amiable woman came to hug him and feed him water. He looked at the woman's face, the woman's eyebrows were soft, and her eyes were particularly clear, he thought in a daze, isn't this Ji Lingyun, the palace maid of the Inner Library, why is she my mother?
Her smile was so gentle, but he couldn't believe it, and tried his best to raise his head, trying to take a closer look at who this person was, and sure enough, the woman's face changed, it was not Ji Lingyun, but Zhang Weizhao.
Why is my mother her again? Chen Jianjun's confusion deepened. But Zhang Weizhao did not hesitate, picked him up as a toddler, and shook him gently. Zhang Weizhao's arms are very strong, his chest is warm, Chen Jianjun only feels very stable in his heart, as if he is being held by such a pair of arms, he no longer has to be afraid that someone will beat him and harm him, and he will fall asleep in a daze.
But I heard an anxious call in my ears: "Emperor! My son! Emperor, wake up! ”
Chen Jianjun wanted to answer: "Don't make noise! Let me sleep! But he felt a tingling pain in the tiger's mouth, and woke up suddenly, but saw the Queen Mother looking at him anxiously: "Emperor, what do you think?" ”
Leaving the dream that made him feel very comfortable, Chen Jianjun couldn't help but be disappointed, but still replied: "Queen Mother, I'm fine, don't worry." ”
"And said it was fine! You were fine just now, why did you suddenly faint? You're going to be scared to death! Tears fell from his eyes as he spoke. Before the Queen Mother returned to Changle Palace, she received a report that the emperor had fainted, and her eyes turned black with fright, and she hurriedly returned to Qianqing Palace. Fortunately, after being given an injection, Chen Jianjun immediately woke up again.
The quarrel between Jin Guifei and the emperor just now, no one dared to return it to the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother didn't understand why the emperor fainted at this time.
Chen Jianjun only felt that he was lacking in breath and dizzy and tinnitus, but he still had to cheer up and comfort the Queen Mother: "It's really not tight, it's just that I can't breathe because I cough so quickly." It's much better now. Chen Jianjun said and glanced into the room, only to see Queen Yu and Jin Guifei standing not far from the bed, Queen Yu's face was full of concern, and Jin Guifei looked defeated.
Chen Jianjun said: "I'm tired, I just want to sleep for a while." Queen Mother, please go back to the palace to rest. It's good to leave the queen to watch here. He closed his eyes.
Empress Yu didn't watch out for the emperor suddenly having such an arrangement, so she hurriedly responded, and then gently persuaded the queen mother to go back to rest, and told her attendants to carefully send the queen mother back to the palace.
Jin Guifei knew that Chen Jianjun's arrangement was because she was annoyed by her, so she stood for a while and returned to Anxi Palace.
After sending the Queen Mother and Jin Guifei away, the emperor was personally served by the Empress and took the medicine and slept again. After waking up, he immediately ordered that Jin Guifei be grounded in Anxi Palace on the grounds that she was not careful.
As soon as this order came out, the palace was in an uproar. The emperor began to get close to the empress and alienate Jin Guifei, which was an unprecedented event in the palace. For a while, there were different opinions. Jin Guifei quarreled with the emperor during his illness, and the news that the emperor fainted so much that it secretly spread in the palace. Some people have begun to speculate whether the harem is going to change.
The middle palace has been neglected for many years, and now it is suddenly valued by His Majesty because of his illness, and those concubines and servants in the palace who look like people have seen the wind and rudder, put away the skin and smile when facing the queen in the past, and sincerely respected. The things that were sent to the Queen's Palace, although they used to be good, are now becoming more and more refined. Even the people who served beside the queen raised their eyebrows when they walked in the palace.
Although the queen worked hard, she was more energetic. She has been a shadow queen for many years, and now she has really begun to taste a little bit of being a queen.
During this time, the emperor was ill, and many matters were left to the crown prince to consult with the cabinet and the eunuchs of the celebrant eunuchs. In addition, the crown prince had to come to the emperor's bedside for at least one hour every day to serve the sick, and he was very busy for a while. The prince was so busy that he didn't have time to accompany the Queen Mother more, so he could only hurriedly greet the Queen Mother every day, stand for a while and then leave. Fortunately, Yu Miaoqing accompanies the Queen Mother every day. Yu Miaoqing's soft language and easy-going personality gave great comfort to the Empress Dowager, who was anxious because of the emperor's illness. The Queen Mother also relied more and more on Miaoqing.
Empress Yu and Yu Miaoqing have become upstarts in the Forbidden City.
On the contrary, there is a downturn in the Anxi Palace. In the past, although the emperor also quarreled with Jin Guifei, and even used his hands, it was always like a dispute between husband and wife, often quarreling at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. And like this time, Chen Jianjun took out the identity of the emperor to subdue Jin Guifei and directly grounded her, which was the first time.
It's just that Jin Guifei has a lot of power, and there is a possibility of returning the tables at any time, so everyone didn't dare to really snub her for a while, and the supply to Anxi Palace was still first-class in the palace.
Jin Guifei hated the queen for sowing discord and took the opportunity to curry favor with Chen Jianjun. I hate Zhang Weizhao even more, and the ghost is still gone, and Chen Jianjun is still disturbed.
She summoned Wang Zhi and asked Chen Jianjun if he was using people from the West Factory to inquire about Zhang Weizhao's news. After all, she has been close to Chen Jianjun for so many years, and she is very familiar with Chen Jianjun's way of doing things.
Wang Zhi bowed his head and was speechless, and when he asked fiercely, Wang Zhi knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, but didn't say anything.
Jin Guifei understood that Chen Jianjun not only used the people of the West Factory to listen to Zhang Weizhao's news, but also used the most powerful and secret eyeliner of the West Factory. If Wang Zhi dared to tell Jin Guifei the inside story, his life would be explained immediately. So he would rather offend Jin Guifei than say anything.
Jin Guifei asked Wang Zhi to get out quickly, and Wang Zhi retreated on his knees.
Jin Guifei only felt that the world was spinning. She always suspected that Chen Jianjun had affection for Zhang Weizhao, but in fact, she was only suspicious, just because she felt that Chen Jianjun valued Zhang Weizhao too much, so she was a little angry and wanted to say that Chen Jianjun had thoughts about Zhang Weizhao.
But Chen Jianjun was so angry that she fainted that day, and she just learned how Chen Jianjun used the West Factory to find out about Zhang Weizhao, which made her convinced that Chen Jianjun was probably not only affectionate to Zhang Weizhao, but also very affectionate, far beyond the love for good skin, nor the appreciation of any talent.
It was a deep connection and attachment. Jin Guifei originally thought that he would only have this kind of attachment to himself, because when he was a little child, he only had her to be attached to.
Chen Jianjun had suffered too much when he was a child, and of course Jin Guifei didn't want him to suffer. However, she also understands that she can be where she is today because of this suffering.
She always thought that it was impossible for these hardships to be experienced again, so it was impossible for another person to enter the depths of Chen Jianjun's heart. However, now Zhang Weizhao has done it. How did she do it? How could she possibly do it?
Jin Guifei felt a deep sense of powerlessness and fear. She knew she had underestimated her from the beginning! She should have simply gotten rid of her sooner rather than just given her a chance to turn over.
No, don't be discouraged, even now, it's still too late! Jin Guifei asked Agate to bring water, and with a trembling hand, she took out a pill and sent it down with water. She has to concentrate and think about it, she wants to get rid of Zhang Weizhao and Queen Yu, none of these people who are in the way can stay!
The disturbances in the palace did not affect Zhang Weizhao. Her life and work are getting more and more on track. There are now more than 20 students in Songzhu Girls' School, these children were all thin and timid when they first arrived, but now those who came early have grown significantly taller, and the smiles on their faces are getting brighter and brighter.
Mr. Li and Mr. Qiu, who came out of the palace, are really very capable, one of them is now in charge of teaching affairs, and the other is in charge of logistics, which liberates Zhang Weizhao from trivial matters and has time to go out to practice medicine.
Although the school has received a lot of funding, the money is also spent quickly, so not only Zhang Weizhao's medical practice is subsidized to the school, but even Zhang Rongkun often puts money into it.
This kind of life is very hard, but looking at those children who were originally abandoned like rubble, now living as bright as the sun, Zhang Weizhao will feel very satisfied.
In fact, she knew that she was also doing this to heal herself. Because of the death of Luluo and Tian Yusheng, she felt deeply remorseful. She is actually using this behavior to make amends and redeem.
Maybe it's because these children have endured a lot of hardships, but after entering the school, they all abide by the rules and learn things very seriously. Although these children have some bad habits due to their lack of education before, they have made rapid progress after being guided by the gentlemen. This made Zhang Weizhao and the other teachers feel very gratified.
In this school, all the teachers and students are women, and only Zhang Rongkun, who occasionally visits the children, is a man. Zhang Rongkun's beard is all white, he is a lofty and amiable old man, not to mention how much these little Lolitas like him. Sometimes when he left school and returned to Xuanmiaoguan, Zhang Weizhao would find that his long beard was braided into several small braids, and at a glance, he knew that it was those naughty girls who did it, and Zhang Weizhao was also very speechless.
Occasionally, Zhang Weizhao would have a whim, and he should ask Zhang Rongkun to be the honorary headmaster and dress up as Dumbledore to sit in the school. In that case, would the school still have to be divided into four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin? When thinking like this, Zhang Weizhao could laugh out loud by himself.
Once Zhou Rong asked Zhang Weizhao, what is the significance of her running this women's school? There are so many abandoned girls in the world, and you can only accept dozens of students at most, which is just a drop in the bucket.
Zhang Weizhao told him a story.
