Chapter 136: Bixia Yuanjun
In Changle Palace, Zhang Weizhao reported the emperor's health status to the Queen Mother in the past few days, and the conclusion was that he had roughly recovered his health, but the mental irritability and depression caused by chronic mercury poisoning would continue for a period of time, so in addition to paying more attention to rest, he should continue to drink decoction to detoxify and recuperate.
In addition, there is another thing, that is, the addiction brought about by taking pills also needs time to dilute and recover. When this pill is taken, it can make people feel energetic and full of euphoria, but once they are stopped, the euphoria disappears and the depression increases, so it needs to be carefully regulated.
Although it was the Empress Dowager who asked Zhang Weizhao to tell her in detail about the emperor's situation, when Zhang Weizhao spoke, the Empress Dowager was not listening carefully, but was in an absent-minded state.
After Zhang Weizhao finished speaking, the Queen Mother asked: "In other words, in a few days, the emperor will not need a doctor to be by his side every day, right?" ”
Zhang Weizhao keenly captured some information, she looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Yes." Queen Mother, what do you command? ”
The Queen Mother didn't look at her eyes, and said slowly: "The mourning family had a dream last night, dreaming that Bixia Yuanjun appeared, fragrant flowers filled the sky, fairy music bursts, Bixia Yuanjun waved his hand, and bursts of auspicious light shrouded the Forbidden City. The mourning family thought that with the blessing of Bixia Yuanjun, the emperor would definitely be able to live a long and healthy life. Grateful for the favor of Bixia Yuanjun, the mourning family thought that Bixia Yuanjun would do a great ritual in the dojo of Mount Tai and worship the Niangniang. But I'm old now, and it's not easy to get around......"
Zhang Weizhao looked at the Queen Mother and said, "So the Queen Mother wants to send me to Mount Tai to worship Bixia Yuanjun, right?" ”
In the past two years, Zhang Weizhao has been serving the royal family wholeheartedly, curing the prince's pain of missing his mother, and saving Chen Jianjun's life from the obscenity of the poison pill.
The Queen Mother turned her head, looked at Zhang Weizhao and said, "Child, if you don't want to go, I can send someone else." ”
Zhang Weizhao smiled and said, "Queen Mother, please send me." I haven't been out of Beijing since I entered Beijing. Since I was a child, I have a wish to travel all over the famous mountains and rivers, and you sent me to Dongyue Taishan, which just fulfilled my dream. Zhang Weizhao and the rest of the palace think differently, the people here are proud to be able to gain a firm foothold in the Forbidden City and rise step by step, and they are ashamed to be expelled from the palace. But Zhang Weizhao didn't want to sink into this whirlpool of power all the time.
The Queen Mother was afraid that Zhang Weizhao would complain about her in her heart, so she was depressed for a long time. She thought that Zhang Weizhao was inexplicably kicked out of the palace some time ago, and Zhaoming's reputation was gone, and now she finally came back, and she had just recovered her name, but she wanted to send her away, and ordinary people would be resentful, right? But Ah Zhao is different from everyone else, he is not greedy for the scenery and wealth in the palace at all, and seeing Zhang Weizhao agree so happily, the Queen Mother's heart has become much more comfortable.
"Good boy, good boy......" The Queen Mother didn't want to say those high-sounding words of praise to Zhang Weizhao, and only praised them with the most simple words.
"It's just, the Queen Mother," Zhang Weizhao arched his hand: "I still have a reluctant request." ”
"What's the matter? You said. ”
"After Your Majesty recovers from his illness, please let my master go out of the palace and go back to Xuanmiaoguan, is it okay?"
"Of course you can."
"Before leaving, I want to go out of the palace for two days, arrange things in the school, and ask the Queen Mother for permission."
"Naturally, there is no problem with this."
"In addition, after I leave Beijing, can I ask the Queen Mother to take care of the children in the school from time to time? My annual salary and rewards should also be sent directly to Mr. Qiu at the school, is it okay? Zhang Weizhao is most worried about how to survive after she leaves, Songzhu Girls' School will have no financial resources. Now she entrusts the school to the Queen Mother, and since the Queen Mother has sent her to work, she will naturally have a rich reward, and this reward will be enough for the school to operate for a while.
"The mourning family will definitely take good care of the school for you." The Queen Mother thought, the school, as long as she has enough money, naturally someone is willing to contribute, which will not be difficult for her.
"Thank you so much, Queen Mother!" Zhang Weizhao respectfully bowed. After standing up, Zhang Weizhao said: "May I ask the Queen Mother, how long do you want me to stay on Mount Tai?" ”
The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment and said, "If it's short, it's half a year, and if it's long, it's ......" There was a look of embarrassment on her face.
"I see." Zhang Weizhao smiled: "I must live up to the trust." ”
"Alas......" the Queen Mother sighed long, "It's hard for you." Don't make a noise about this in advance, and I'll talk to him slowly when the emperor is safe in a few days. ”
"Yes!" Zhang Weizhao bowed his head and replied respectfully, and then said goodbye and withdrew from Changle Palace.
The Queen Mother would make such a request, and Zhang Weizhao was not surprised.
Leaving is perhaps the best option at the moment.
When she stepped out of the gate of Changle Palace, she suddenly remembered the scene when she first entered Changle Palace three years ago. At that time, she was very optimistic that even in the court, she could come up with some way to establish professional norms. The so-called professional norm is to draw a clear line between the psychologist and the client. Because the work of a psychiatrist is special, when you go deep into a person's heart, it is easy to get entangled with that person, so you must have clear boundaries in order to carry out your work as usual.
However, in retrospect, she was not successful in doing so.
One reason for the unsuccess was that the laws of this plane were completely different from the space she had been in in her previous life. In my previous life, the basic law of the whole society was to recognize that people are independent and equal, and that there is no subordination between people, so when someone else wants to invade my life, I can say no. For example, if a patient wants to develop an out-of-medical relationship with a psychologist, the psychologist can interrupt the treatment and report to the police if it is serious.
But Dayan is still in an era where human trafficking is legal, and masters have absolute power over their slaves. Whoever you are, you must conceptually obey the imperial power indefinitely. Therefore, no matter how difficult Chen Jianjun is, she can't completely refuse, so she can only maneuver around in a limited space and stick to the bottom line.
Another reason for the unsuccess is Chen Youcong. As a lonely visitor from another world, Chen Youcong is one of the deepest connections she has with the world. She is not afraid of loneliness, but if she can meet someone who shares her heart, can she move forward together? So when Chen Youcong conveyed his affection to her again and again, she took the olive branch he handed over.
This was in his previous life, out of awe of his profession, Zhang Weizhao would not allow himself to do this. But in this different world, the basic laws of society are very different, and the nature of her profession has also changed.
Thinking of this, Zhang Weizhao smiled bitterly, except that he sometimes cares about whether this will be illegal in his heart, what others care about is not this at all, but she, a person from a different time and space, has intervened horizontally, which has led to a change in the power structure, and many people's wishful thinking has been disrupted, so they regard her as a thorn in their side.
In contrast, the Queen Mother's attitude towards her has always been very trusting and gentle. What she was afraid of was that Zhang Weizhao's existence would lead to a dispute between father and son, which would lead to unforeseen consequences, so she came up with a solution, which was to ask Zhang Weizhao to stay away.
When to avoid it? Maybe it was when Chen Jianjun lost interest in her, or maybe it was when Chen Youcong married the crown princess......
Maybe the probability of the latter is even greater, Zhang Weizhao thought wistfully. Objectively speculated, Chen Jianjun is unlikely to lose interest in her in a short period of time, because his attachment to her is not the affection of one adult for another, but similar to a baby's desire for a good mother.
In the depths of Chen Jianjun's heart, there is always a baby who desperately wants to be seen and attention. This is the reason why he relied so much on Jin Guifei in the past and allowed Jin Guifei to mutilate his wife and children. As in many families, mothers-in-law often have great power over their sons' wives and children.
But Jin Guifei finally disappointed him, so he transferred his longing for his mother to Zhang Weizhao. Although Zhang Weizhao's biological age is much younger than him, Zhang Weizhao's healing work for him is just like a mother's work to raise her children.
Originally, Zhang Weizhao also hoped that Chen Jianjun could complete his personality growth through intensive and continuous treatment, and he would no longer desperately seek maternal love like a baby looking for a pacifier, but this process was interrupted again and again.
Because, Zhang Weizhao's purpose is to make Chen Jianjun's personality mature and no longer dependent. And those other people, such as Jin Guifei, don't want to see this kind of transformation from him, they just want to strengthen the emperor's dependence on themselves, and influence the emperor through this dependence and share power.
The influence of absolute power is so great that the struggle is particularly brutal. This kind of struggle is cruel to the minions, but it may not be cruel to the masters. For example, the harem concubines compete for favor, although they are desperately trying to please the emperor, but no one can treat Chen Jianjun as a complete living person. What everyone sees is the imperial power and interests he represents. That's why Chen Jianjun feels so lonely. Fatal loneliness was an important reason for him to indulge in pills.
Judging from Zhang Weizhao's own experience, she has experienced ups and downs in the three years since she entered the palace, and she was treated very differently when she was beautiful and when she was unlucky.
When she was in a high position and was "favored" by several giants in the harem, the palace maids and eunuchs in the Forbidden City looked at her respectfully, looking at her like a fairy in the sky. When the concubines met her, they were also full of spring breeze and courtesy.
And when she angered Tianyan and was belittled and expelled, everyone looked at each other coldly and walked in circles, for fear of being infected by her.
