Zhang Weizhao has never liked to delay, since he has asked the Queen Mother to resign, and the Queen Mother has agreed, Zhang Weizhao stood up and said that he would go to the back to pack his things and leave the palace early tomorrow morning.

The Queen Mother's eyes were already wet. She felt a deep sense of powerlessness. She just wants to live the rest of her life in peace and security, with her beloved children by her side. It's just that because you're in the Forbidden City, it's hard to make such a simple wish come true.

But the reality is like this, she stopped talking, waved her hand, and asked Zhang Weizhao to clean up by herself.

Zhang Weizhao bowed deeply to the Queen Mother. She also has a strong reluctance in her heart, but she has to say goodbye no matter how reluctant she is.

Zhang Weizhao doesn't have many things. Her salary had been brought back when she went back to Xuan Miaoguan on vacation. Now there are only a few clothes left, a few bits and pieces. Just get into a baggage.

In the makeup box, the ancient hosta given to her by Chen Youcong, Zhang Weizhao thought about it, and also took it out and put it in the package.

After cleaning up, Zhang Weizhao got up and went to look for pothos. Pothos is helping Xiangyu iron the clothes that the Queen Mother will wear this season. Zhang Weizhao patiently waited for her to finish ironing, and then called her to his room.

Luluo thought that Zhang Weizhao had something to ask for her help, so she hurriedly followed and said, "What's the matter with my sister?" ”

Zhang Weizhao said gently: "I will leave the palace tomorrow and return to Xuanmiaoguan, and I called you here to say goodbye to you." ”

The smile on the pothos face froze, and a look of surprise appeared: "Back to the mystical view? It's not the first day of junior high school yet. Could it be that my sister is here, and she won't come back after leaving the palace? ”

Zhang Weizhao nodded: "My work here has come to an end, so I don't need to stay here anymore." ”

Luluo said anxiously: "Is the Queen Mother willing to let you go?" ”

"I have asked the Queen Mother to resign, and she has already agreed."

"This, this ......" Lu Pothos suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Is it really as they said, because of the prince, someone can't tolerate my sister?" ”

"Shhhhh......hhhhh Although I am out of the palace, I will still practice medicine in the capital. When you are resting, you can come to the temple to find me. ”

Luluo's eyes were already full of tears, she bit her lip and said, "Sister, although I call you sister, but in my heart, you are my master." If I can live until I leave the palace, I want to go to Xuan Miaoguan to study medicine with you and ask my sister to be fulfilled! Saying that, kneeling on the ground was about to kowtow to Zhang Weizhao, but Zhang Weizhao dragged him up.

There is no system for palace maids to be released from the palace when they reach a certain age, and when to release the older palace maids is entirely up to the discretion of the superior. When it's good, it's released every seven or eight years, and when it's bad, it's also once every thirty or forty years.

Luluo said that she would follow Zhang Weizhao to continue studying medicine after leaving the palace, and Zhang Weizhao understood that this life goal was the driving force to support Luthos to live well. In the long career of palace confinement, if there is no expectation, life will be extremely difficult. So she nodded without hesitation:

"Good! I'm waiting for you! ”

Dinner pothos was also eaten together in Zhang Weizhao's room. The two of them were chatting while eating. Zhang Weizhao asked the green pothos to say goodbye to Xiangyu, Narcissus and other sisters for her after she left the palace tomorrow. She didn't want to make a fuss, so she didn't say goodbye to them one by one tonight. Pothos nodded in agreement.

After dinner, Luluo cleaned up the dishes, Zhang Weizhao took out a purse and handed it to Luluo. When the pothos was opened, there were several small gold ingots of different patterns. These things are not uncommon in the eyes of the big palace maids with heads and faces in the palace, but for a small palace maid like Pothos, they are a lot of wealth.

The pothos tied the seal of the purse, and wanted to take Zhang Weizhao's hand and return it to her: "Sister, I can't ......"

At this moment, I suddenly heard a strange scream.

When Zhang Weizhao and Luluo hurriedly opened the door to look into the courtyard, they reflected the light under the corridor, but saw the little palace maid Shisu running out of the house in a hurry, shouting in a dumb voice: "Oh no! Oh no! Suddenly, he thought that shouting in the palace would be severely punished, and hurriedly covered his mouth.

That room is where the pothos lives, and there are a total of four little palace maids living in the room, in addition to the pothos, there are also green paulownia, perilla and pink peach.

Pothos and Qingtong have their own affairs, leaving Shiso and Pink Peach in the house.

Seeing this, the green pothos was about to pass, but was caught by Zhang Weizhao: "Wait, don't go over yet!" Zhang Weizhao frowned, she had a sense of foreboding.

Hearing this, the palace maid Peony came out and hurriedly walked to Shisu's side, Shiso trembled and whispered something to her, and pointed to the house. Peony slowly walked to the door step by step to probe to check. At first glance, he covered his chest with his hands. Then he hurriedly walked out with Shiso.

Peony was very good with Peony, and after Peony was expelled from the Forbidden City, even she was embarrassed in front of the Queen Mother. Although she didn't wait for her, she didn't often ask her to serve the Queen Mother. Therefore, at this time, Xiangyu and Narcissus both served in front of the Queen Mother, while she stayed in the backyard to take care of chores.

After a while, I saw Zhao Qin, the eunuch in charge of Changle Palace, with a few young and strong eunuchs hurriedly stepping into the backyard with straight faces, Zhao Qin shouted in a deep voice:

"Everyone is allowed to go back to their own quarters and close the doors, and they are not allowed to go out without my notice. If anyone dares to enter and exit without permission, they will be severely punished! ”

The eunuchs around Zhao Qin followed suit: "Strictly enter and exit privately, violators will be severely punished!" ”

The palace maids, who had been probing their brains in front of their respective doors to find out what was going on, returned to their rooms and closed the doors and windows when they saw this battle. Zhang Weizhao also pulled the green pothos back and closed the door with his hand.

However, you can't really ignore it. Zhang Weizhao and Luluo looked out with their eyes against the crack in the door.

I saw that the young eunuchs carried out a man from that room, with a veil over his face and his hands on the ground, obviously a dead man.

The pothos was frightened and exclaimed in a low voice: "That's, that's a pink peach!" She was fine in the afternoon, why did she suddenly ......" she withdrew her gaze and didn't dare to look at it again, clasping her hands in front of her chest and grabbing the placket of her clothes tightly, obviously terrified: "Why is this happening, why is this happening?" ”

Zhang Weizhao didn't look at it anymore, stood beside Luluo, broke her hand and held it, and said, "You are trembling." No need to refrain from shaking, you can shake if you want, it doesn't matter. Come, like me, inhale deeply and exhale long......"

In fact, this incident also had a great impact on Zhang Weizhao. So she took a deep breath with the pothos to calm herself down.

When the two of them eased up, Zhang Weizhao poured a cup of hot water for the pothos and asked her to drink it slowly. Pothos's hand holding the cup has been shaking slightly.

"Have you seen anything like this before?" Zhang Weizhao asked softly, she wanted to know if sudden deaths would happen often in this palace.

Pothos's lips were also trembling, she nodded, and said with difficulty: "I've seen it, more than once." "Every time something like this happens, people are terrified for days. Because there is no pattern to these things, I don't know when they will befall me.

"You're scared, aren't you?" Zhang Weizhao asked.

Pothos bit her lip and remained silent.

"If it were me, my roommates would have been scared if something like this happened."

Hearing Zhang Weizhao say this, the tears of the pothos couldn't help but drip down. She didn't even dare to speculate on what killed Pink Peach, there were too many dangers and murderous intentions hidden in such incidents.

Zhang Weizhao wanted to comfort her and tell Luluo that she would not be in danger and that she was safe. But she couldn't say that, because it wasn't true.

At this moment, Zhang Weizhao suddenly found that his strength turned out to be so weak. She understood why so many people in the court were scrambling to seek high positions by any means necessary. Because having power in your hands does not only mean that you can gain more wealth and be more feared, but it also means that you have the ability to protect the people and things you care about.

In her previous life, she lived in a society that respected the life and property of individuals, which was relatively flat and not a pyramid-shaped structure. As a psychiatrist, she is in the middle of society, away from power strife, and can rely on her profession to find a peaceful and relatively secure life.

Her misconception is that she has been trying to replicate this life in this life, relying on her outstanding medical skills. But I'm afraid it's an illusion, and maybe it's time to break it. But how to stop being stubborn about the obsession she brought from her previous life, and learn to face the bloody storm of reality, she still doesn't have a clear answer. In any case, she couldn't agree with Ye Tongying or Yu Miaoqing's rules of survival. She couldn't do it if it was a lifelong effort to capture a man and maintain a relationship with him.

Can you ask the Queen Mother to release the pothos as an apprentice? Zhang Weizhao is seriously thinking about the feasibility of this plan.

While he was thinking, a voice suddenly came from the courtyard: "Where is the pothos!" ”

The pothos with her head bowed and weeping frightened Ling Lingling.

"Where is the pothos?" The voice rang out again.

"I'm here!" Pothos hurriedly replied, wiped away her tears, opened the door and walked out.

Standing in the courtyard is Pan Yong, who is Zhao Qin's apprentice who takes him with him every day.

"Come with me." Pan Yong said with a cold expression.

"Yes!" Although the pothos was terrified, she had no choice but to obey her orders.

"Dare to ask where you are taking the pothos here? What's the point? Zhang Weizhao, who came out with the pothos, asked.

"Doctor Zhang doesn't know," Pan Yong knew that Zhang Weizhao was very dignified in front of the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince, so he was very polite to her, "The little palace maid Fan Tao, who was in charge of sprinkling and sweeping, suddenly died in vain not long ago, and several people in her room had to be called to interrogate." ”

"Can you put it back if you're okay after asking?" Zhang Weizhao then asked.

"I don't know. Please also ask Zhang Daoyi to hurry back to the house and wait for the news, before the matter is not clear, all the palace people in Changle Palace are not allowed to leave their rooms without authorization. After speaking, Pan Yong bowed his hand, and then said to the green pothos: "Let's go." ”

The pothos followed Pan Yong step by step. Zhang Weizhao stood on the ground, his hands clenched into fists, until they went out of the gate and could not be seen, then turned back to the house to close the door.
