imperial psychologist

Chapter 274
There was silence in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, except for the occasional night wind that rolled up the curtains, bringing the sound of beating watches in the distant palace.

The wind in the rainy night was damp and cold, which made Emperor Jianxi's cheeks slightly cool.

Bai Ling sighed softly, she straightened up, her eyes were still looking at the blanket in front of her knees, "The guilty minister really has nothing to say, if your majesty has anything to ask, please ask."

"You have said everything you need to say, what else do I have to ask?" Emperor Jianxi said coldly, "Since you know that your mind is floating, then go home and reflect on yourself. Do not leave the palace, and don't see anyone in the palace again."

"……Yes."

"Your lectures at the Imperial Hospital will also stop at the end of this month." Emperor Jianxi said softly, "You sort out the things you want to talk about first, and let Zhenxian and Zhang Shenxian review them together."

"...The guilty minister understands."

Emperor Jianxi snorted coldly, "Don't call yourself a criminal minister, I didn't punish you, who would dare to call you a criminal minister."

At this moment, there were a few ear-piercing meows from outside the window.

Emperor Jianxi frowned, "When did there become so many cats in the palace?"

Huang Chongde bowed his body, "Return to master, it may be raining heavily tonight, and I'm drenched."

"Let Yuan Zhen go and wipe out all these cats in the palace." Emperor Jianxi said without raising his eyes, "I don't want to listen to the voices of these animals anymore."

Huang Chongde was preparing to answer, when Bo Ling said softly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this... Cats are kind of evil, and if you kill them directly, your Majesty may attract unnecessary seedlings."

Emperor Jianxi looked at Bo Ling.

Bai Ling continued, "I see that Eunuch Yuan is very angry, so why don't you let him find his own way to suppress the town, so as not to disturb His Majesty."

Emperor Jianxi snorted and acquiesced.

……

After a while, Qiu Shi led Bo Ling out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and only Huang Chongde and Emperor Jianxi were left in the hall. Emperor Jianxi ordered Huang Chongde to roll up all the curtains in the hall, and then extinguished all the candles in the main hall.

"What do you think of Bo Ling's words just now?" Emperor Jianxi asked suddenly.

Huang Chongde was holding the carved candles and silver scissors to turn off the lights one by one. Hearing Emperor Jianxi's words, he couldn't help but slow down a bit. He turned half sideways, brought Emperor Jianxi into his vision from the corner of his eye, and said softly, "I feel that... Difficult."

Huang Chongde sighed softly, "The fire on Lin's side needs to be extinguished, the concubine's side needs to be cured, and the kindness of the son's side cannot be let down. The Song family and the Qu family are still exerting pressure in different ways... in this In the situation, if you want to keep your family safe, you are stepping on a tightrope. Thanks to this child's stable temperament, he can endure it."

"It's hard for her...it's even harder for me."

Huang Chongde smiled, "Who in the world can bear more burden than the emperor's shoulders."

Emperor Jianxi pursed his lips and stopped talking.

"The maidservant is now worried about the concubine's side. It's been a month since her condition has improved. I'm afraid the Qu's side won't be able to tolerate Bai Ling after the prince makes such a fuss tonight."

Jianxi raised his eyes coldly, "If they can't even tolerate a doctor who treats a noble concubine, then I can't tolerate them either... How long will it take to go to court?"

"Back to the master, there are about two quarters of an hour."

Emperor Jianxi pondered for a while with lowered eyes, and sat up from the couch with his hands on his knees, "Stop sitting, let's go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Just as Huang Chongde was about to turn around to deliver the order, Emperor Jianxi said again, "You help me walk over."

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is neither close nor far from the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

It's just that it was still dark and it had just rained. Huang Chongde held the lantern in one hand and supported Emperor Jianxi with the other. He walked with great difficulty, occasionally staggering, and Emperor Jianxi held him firmly.

But Huang Chongde was no other palace man after all. After he stood firm, he bowed to Emperor Jianxi to thank him, and then continued to light the lantern for the emperor as before.

After a while, Qiu Shi trotted back—he had already sent Bo Ling away.At this moment, when Qiu Shi saw Huang Chongde supporting Emperor Jianxi walking at night alone, he hurriedly went to help Emperor Jianxi's other hand.

But the emperor didn't appreciate it, he shook off Qiu Shi and said in a low voice, "Go and help your Eunuch Huang, I can walk steadily by myself."

Qiu Shi walked to Huang Chongde's side, but Huang Chongde didn't want him to help, but just handed him the lantern in his hand.

After passing Qianqing Gate, Emperor Jianxi suddenly said, "Huang Chongde."

"Here, Grandpa."

"Tell me, are you happy when you are a wise king, or happy when you are a foolish king?"

The lantern in Qiu Shi's hand trembled, he clenched his lips unconsciously, and looked sideways.

Huang Chongde didn't answer right away, he thought calmly for a while, and then said slowly, "...Return to master, the servant girl said something bad, master don't blame me."

"Ah."

Huang Chongde said softly, "The servant feels that whether it is a wise ruler or a foolish ruler, life will not be happy."

A rare self-mockery appeared on Emperor Jianxi's face, "How do you say it?"

"Ming Jun, you are tired of life. In order to gain a good reputation, you have to endure and restrain many things. Instead, you are not as free as your subjects and common people." Huang Chongde paused for a while, as if he had thought about it, before continuing, "As for the Hunjun, it seems that he is a little more relaxed, but he doesn't have the ability to balance the government and the opposition, and he is often dragged by the people below, so he is not happy."

Emperor Jianxi laughed, and he glanced at Qiu Shi who shrank his neck, not daring to show his breath, "Study hard!"

Qiu Shi still shrunk his head, and smiled beggingly, "I don't have the brains of Huang Gonggong, and I can't learn it..."

Emperor Jianxi ignored him, looked ahead, and continued, "Being a wise king or a foolish king is not happy, do you know how to be the happiest?"

Huang Chongde didn't answer the call, and he didn't need to answer it at this time.

Emperor Jianxi has already said, "...the happiest thing is to be a tyrant."

……

At daybreak, Bai Ling returned to the gate of his house under the escort of the guards, or under the escort.

She didn't have the house key with her, so she had to raise her hand to call the door—but the door opened as soon as she called.

Bai Yi, who had been tossing and turning all night, heard her voice, put on his clothes, and ran out without even his shoes on.

The guard watched Bo Ling enter the yard and then left.Bai Yi closed the door, turned around, and saw the scratches on Bai Ling's wrist at a glance. The corners of his mouth sank, and he dragged Bai Ling back to the room without saying a word.

The floor of the hall was covered with medicinal herbs, and there was a slightly pungent smell of medicinal herbs in the room.

But this smell now makes Berlin feel at ease.

She supported the corner of the table, and slowly sat down on the chair. It was not until she returned to her old house that Bai Ling suddenly felt a little bit falling apart. Whether it was her hands or her feet, she was sore everywhere. pain.

She sat there in a daze for a while, and suddenly realized that Bai Yi had run into the yard alone and didn't know what to do.

Bo Ling stood up and went around the medicinal materials to take a look at Bai Shijun's room—his father was still asleep.As if aware of the movement outside, Bai Shijun turned over and ground his teeth lightly a few times. Bai Ling stood at the door and watched for a while, then put down the curtain with a smile, and went to look for Bai Yi in the yard.

Bai Yi was lighting a fire.

"...Is this making breakfast?" Bo Ling asked.

"It's boiling water." Bai Yi said softly, "Are you hungry? I'll cook something for you when you're hungry. I see you're tired too. Let's boil water for you to take a bath, and then go to sleep for a while Well—you must take a shower first, right?"

Bai Ling leaned back slightly, and snapped his fingers lightly at Bai Yi, "Tsk, you understand me."

"I don't understand, I don't understand," Bai Yi sighed, and gave Bai Ling a helpless look, "...you make the bullets fly a couple more times, and I'll give you a heart attack."

Burling laughed.

"By the way, where's Wei Shishi?" Bai Yi asked, "Why didn't he send you back?"
