imperial psychologist

Chapter 323 Whose Handwriting
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Qu asked with a bit of foxiness.

Bo Ling said softly, "That's...literally."

"Don't ramble here!" Mrs. Qu's palm fell to the ground, making a loud bang, "Speak every word clearly to me!"

From the very beginning, she didn't like this young girl at all—Bai Ling was too thoughtful, obedient and obedient, and if it wasn't for her appearance, the Qu family would not have almost completely cut off contact with the inner palace.

But after all, the imperial concubine has made up her mind to bring the little prince back to her side.

Focusing on this matter, Mrs. Qu felt that Bai Ling's life could be kept temporarily. As long as this girl is willing to obey, and her mind is more mature, and she doesn't always let her own temper run amok, then she doesn't mind keeping it. Such a little girl who can make her daughter happy is by her side.

But now it seems that instead of making any progress, Bo Ling has become more arrogant than before.

Mrs. Qu concealed her annoyance, but those contemptuous eyes still expressed her anger bluntly.

However, Bo Ling smiled and still ignored it—every fist that Mrs. Qu swung seemed to hit the light cotton.

I saw Bo Ling walking slowly to the window, watching the people coming and going downstairs condescendingly, after a moment of silence, Bo Ling suddenly said, "Madam, among the many people I met, I always feel that you should understand me best."

Mrs. Qu's face had already turned blue, and she let out a cold sigh when she heard this sentence.

The high wind made her squint her eyes, and Bai Ling's face was calm, without looking back.

"I heard Baoyuan talk about the old lady when she was young." Bai Ling said softly.

Mrs. Qu did not speak, but looked at Bo Ling with hatred and vigilance.

"Back then, the Chang family was in turmoil. Madam, you turned the tide and helped the building to collapse with your own strength. Now the northern border is still guarded by General Chang. If the ancestors of the Chang family know about it, they must also feel that the old lady Acting righteously deserves the word loyalty and filial piety. This courage to bear the rise and fall of the family alone really touched me."

Mrs. Qu took a deep breath, then raised her head slightly, and turned her gaze elsewhere.

"I guess, for the rest of her life, the old lady tried her best to rejuvenate the Qu family's family, and she also wanted to repay the kindness that the Qu family treated you back then?"

Bo Ling turned his head and asked calmly.

Mrs. Qu clenched her cane tightly, with a cold smile on her face, "Bo Siyao, don't think that you can coax me with your eloquence in front of me. I'm old and I won't eat you!" This set, I let you come today—"

Bo Ling smiled and shook his head, "Mrs. Qu, actually, I'm not at all interested in what you asked me to do today, it's just that after so many things happened in the palace, I just wanted to come and see you, but you really are still a little It hasn't changed, and I don't even bother to hide malice in front of me, and I will always be in such a domineering manner..."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Bai Ling smiled, "I have a lot of things I want to say and ask, but, old lady, if you can't learn how to talk to people well, there is no need for us to talk."

After all, Bo Ling turned around and walked towards the stairs again.

"Stop!" Mrs. Qu scolded.

Sure enough, Bai Ling stopped in his tracks, "Is there anything else Mrs. Qu wants to say?"

Mrs. Qu sneered, "Bai Ling, don't blame me for not reminding you, one day, you will... regret your arrogance!"

"Then it's the same for the old lady," Bo Ling said softly, "At that time, I hope you can always calm down and think about how to treat others and me in the future."

Looking at each other, Mrs. Qu suddenly realized that her kick seemed to be kicking on a steel plate.

……

The days went on peacefully for another three days.

Every day there was news from the northern border, and some good news and some bad news, and the rest were begging for food and pay.

In the past few days, Emperor Jianxi looks haggard a lot, and the white hair on the ear temples has also increased visibly to the naked eye. Seeing the situation, several cabinet members have hardly returned home these days, and their daily meals and lodgings are at home. The cabinet, in response to Emperor Jianxi's occasional summons and parliament.

At dusk, Zhang Shouzhong came to look for Sun Beiji with a food box.

"Old Ge," he put the food box on Sun Beiji's desk, "let's take a rest and try Zhuo Jing's craftsmanship."

Sun Beiji took off his glasses on the bridge of his nose with a gloomy expression, and sighed softly.

There were two sets of bowls and chopsticks in the food box. Zhang Shouzhong skillfully moved the documents and memorials on Sun Beiji’s desk aside, and then put out a few delicate plates—there was almost no meat on the table, but some Dim sum made with seasonal vegetables and tofu.

The dishes basically cater to Sun Beiji's taste. After all, he is old, and his taste is becoming lighter and healthier. Two small bowls of white rice are sprinkled with black sesame seeds, which are emitting aroma.

The two of them were having dinner, and they were still talking about business affairs. Sun Beiji questioned four or five proposals that had been sent to the Supervisor of Ceremonies this morning. There is an answer, and the tacit understanding of cooperation for many years can be seen at a glance.

After talking about all the official business, Zhang Shouzhong suddenly said, "I don't know if Mr. Ge has heard of the excerpt at Dali Temple today."

"what?"

"It's about the voodoo incident in the palace a few days ago. The charges against the sinful woman, Mrs. Lin, were revealed by Dali Temple."

Sun Beiji nodded—in the past, few people were willing to spend time with that Lin Jieyu, and now even less so at this time of year.

He could imagine the decision Emperor Jianxi wanted.

Zhang Shouzhong continued, "...a total of 110 four charges, according to the law Ling Chi."

Sun Beiji was silent for a moment, then frowned and sighed, "Has Zhezi been sent to the palace yet?"

"Yes," Zhang Shouzhong nodded, "The Holy Majesty gave an immediate reply."

"Which adults took the case?" Sun Beiji said with regret in his tone, "If we can keep it, let's think of a way—"

Zhang Shouzhong couldn't help laughing, he completely understood Sun Ge's reaction, because he also reacted when he heard the news!
"Mr. Ge, the emperor has not questioned anyone. The reply I just said is 'approved'!"

Sun Beiji was stunned for a moment, the chopsticks in his hand were not steady for a moment, and almost fell off.

Zhang Shouzhong continued, "Moreover, the emperor's order is to finalize the case directly without review, and the sentence will be executed tonight."

"... Are you serious?"

"It's absolutely true." Zhang Shouzhong's eyes were burning, "I also heard that some palace people in the palace secretly lit incense to celebrate after getting the news, and they were caught. As a result, Eunuch Huang personally ordered that no investigation be carried out."

Sun Beiji didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he put down the bowl and looked at Zhang Shouzhong seriously, "...Whose handwriting is this?"

"I don't know." Zhang Shouzhong replied softly, "But I got a copy of Lin's confession from Mr. Xing. Do you want to see Mr. Ge?"
