Wen Shichu, the high-profile character in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", showed a variety of different attitudes in his interaction with Zhen Huan. Especially after Meizhuang's death, when Zhen Huan met Wen Shichu for the first time, she showed three completely different attitudes. What are the reasons for this shift?In the 64th episode of the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan", after Meizhuang died, Wen Shichu blamed himself every day and drank excessively. Zhen Huan summoned him to Yongshou Palace, and Wen Shichu saluted respectfully: "Weichen Wen Shichu, I came to ask for peace on the order of Concubine Xi." Zhen Huan glared at him angrily and scolded: "You haven't entered the palace yet, aren't you afraid of affecting Jinghe?"In the face of Zhen Huan's severe accusation, Wen Shichu seemed powerless and helpless: "How can a person with a heart like ashes take care of his appearance?"In desperation, Zhen Huan stuffed Jinghe into Wen Shichu's arms. Wen Shichu saw that the child was healthy and unharmed, and knelt at Zhen Huan's feet to express his gratitude.
At this moment, Zhen Huan's heart softened a little, and turned from the initial anger to gentle persuasion, hoping that Wen Shichu could use the child as an excuse to abandon alcoholism and take on the responsibility of "Meizhuang's lover" and "Jinghe's biological father". As a physician, in the face of Meizhuang's death, what kind of responsibility should Wen Shichu bear?In fact, the root of Meizhuang's death lies in the "blood test" advocated by the queen and her gang, as well as the informant sent by An Lingrong. Jinghe's identity is extraordinary, and the thoughtful Empress and An Lingrong may be the biggest threat to her safe growth. If Wen Shichu has the courage, he should turn his grief into strength, and use his excellent medical skills to help Zhen Huan defeat An Lingrong and the queen, avenge Meizhuang, and protect Jinghe from threats. However, Wen Shichu did not understand Zhen Huan's intentions, nor did he accept her suggestion, but kept recounting how he put the jade pot into Meizhuang's coffin, and regretted that he had failed to treat Meizhuang well.
Although Zhen Huan misses Sister Mei, she is slightly disgusted by Wen Shichu's inaction. It wasn't until she heard that Wen Shichu had pleaded guilty to the emperor and was willing to keep the spirit of Meizhuang for three years in Shouzi Palace for the "crime of dereliction of duty", that Zhen Huan's expression eased, and she changed her name to Wen Shichu as "Brother Shichu", and instructed him: "You must live, so that Sister Mei can rest in peace under Jiuquan." Why did Zhen Huan become gentle when she learned that Wen Shichu was leaving?Wen Shichu was not a help to Zhen Huan, but a stumbling block on the road to her career. Although Wen Shichu had good intentions for Zhen Huan during the blood test, the emotional entanglement between the two could not be easily eliminated. Therefore, Wen Shichu made the best choice for self-protection and protection of Zhen Huan and Meizhuang. However, can this move completely dispel the emperor's doubts?The emperor's suspicious nature is fully demonstrated in "The Legend of Ruyi", even if Ling Yunche is still brutally treated after the palace, and even faces danger to his life.
If Wen Shichu stays by Zhen Huan's side and continues to provide her with medical help, it may cause more trouble. Whether he continues to serve as Zhen Huan's doctor or not, he needs to be sane and sober enough to help Zhen Huan's team. However, does Wen Shichu have such a state of mind?Clearly, he was addicted to wine and depressed. Maybe after a certain drink, he will inadvertently say something related to Zhen Huan and other related characters, which will bring irreparable disasters to Zhen Huan, the Shen family and Jinghe. Even if he remained silent, his state would appear abnormal, and over time it would inevitably arouse suspicion. Therefore, before Wen Shichu failed to adjust his state, his stay in the palace was like a bomb that could be detonated at any time, which was a huge threat to Zhen Huan. In the end, another reason why Zhen Huan hoped that Wen Shichu would leave temporarily was that Wei Lin was more suitable to play this role in the "Gong Dou" stage at that time. Wen Shichu, like Zhen Yuandao, has a little scholarly atmosphere. This kind of person is prone to focus on academics and craftsmanship and achieve certain achievements.
However, he is too loyal and upright in dealing with people, and he sticks to the bottom line too much. In Zhen Huan's initial and mid-term self-preservation-based stage, Wen Shichu successfully helped Zhen Huan and treat Meizhuang with his superb medical skills, and performed well, which was also in line with his original intention of practicing medicine to save people. But in the later stage, especially in the fierce competition with the queen, what Zhen Huan needs is a doctor who is completely obedient to her, acts smoothly, and is not subject to too many constraints. When Wen Shichu practiced medicine in his ancestors, he only focused on treating diseases and saving people, and did not want to hurt others. Compared to Wei Lin, he is obviously not comparable. is like a question once asked by a reader friend: "A few years before the emperor's death, why didn't any of the harem concubines get pregnant?."Is it because the emperor is old, or is there another reason?This is a thought-provoking question. If Zhen Huan really takes over the affairs of the queen, the executor can only be Wei Lin, not Wen Shichu!All things considered, after Meizhuang's death, Wen Shichu left the Forbidden City from the palace, which was the most favorable decision for Zhen Huan.
Of course, the same is true for Wen Shichu himself. Although he failed to retreat, at least he saved his life and his daughter, and Wen Shichu's ending was much better than Jiangcheng Jiang Shen......
