imperial psychologist

Chapter 353
Walking out of the woods and into the streets, civilians living nearby began to gradually appear around the two of them.

Bai Yi's pace also slowed down, he was really not a power player, and he was already panting from exhaustion.

Originally wanted to put Yikang down, but only then did he realize that the princess' right foot was injured, and Bai Yi sighed.

Then walk slowly with your back on your back.

He adjusted Yikang's position on his back.

The 13-year-old Yikang is slightly heavier than the Burling, but it is still very light.

"Why did you come here alone?" Bai Yi asked.

"...I found a letter." Yikang replied softly, "It's at your door."

Bai Yi was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Yikang inexplicably, "What are you doing at my door?"

"I brought money today..." Yikang took out a small purse, "...I want to redeem the bracelet."

Bai Yi laughed.

He took Yikang's money bag with one hand, and then returned the jade bracelet in his arms to her.

The jade bracelet comes in a brocade box, and Yikang opens the box—her bracelet is inside intact.

She sniffed and put the bracelet back on her wrist.

"...Thank you for today." Yikang said in a low voice.

"You're welcome." Bai Yi said softly, "You just said you picked up a letter, what was written in the letter?"

Yikang trembled slightly on his back.

Recalling everything that happened just now, some kind of fear came to her heart again.

"Anyway, it's some threats and intimidation, saying that if you don't follow any signs to the tower in the south of the city, then you and Doctor Bai will end up like Yingxiang..." Yikang said in a low voice, "I saw the letter, Knowing that they were the group who kidnapped Yingxiang, I wanted to take revenge, so I chased them."

"only you?"

"I brought a sword!"

"What's the use?" Bai Yi asked, "Didn't they unload it right after it was pulled out?"

"...That's, that's because they are despicable!" Yikang straightened up suddenly, "If it wasn't for falling into their trap——"

"Then you still can't beat it." Bai Yi directly interrupted Yikang, "There are eight people in the family, you are one, and you are still a little girl. Do you really think you have a chance of winning?"

"I'm very good," Yikang argued, "When I was on the mountain, I competed with senior sisters who were much older than me, and they simply—"

"They don't dare to beat you at all." Bai Yi pointed out ruthlessly.

Yikang froze for a moment.

Just as she was about to retort, she suddenly realized that what Bai Yi said actually made a lot of sense.

The senior sisters are all masters with one against ten, if she could really beat the senior sister so easily, then she wouldn't be so helpless just now...

It's really useless, myself.

Yikang's nose was sore again, she hit Bai Yi's back hard, "...you put me down! You put me down! I don't want you to carry me!!"

"...you'll really let go if you hit me again!" Bai Yi said coldly.

Yikang looked around at the dilapidated and gloomy streets, and suddenly stopped talking.

She sank the corners of her mouth, and wiped all the snot and tears on Bai Yi's clothes.

"I ran out secretly," Yikang said with a sob, "If I told my senior sisters, they would definitely lock me up again..."

"Don't you think about why they lock you up, why don't they lock you up, and let you die alone?"

"Then if it was Berlin who received the letter today—"

"Bai Ling will never let herself take risks alone." Bai Yi replied seriously, "She has a lot of ways to solve this matter."

"How do you know?" Yikang wiped his tears, "She's two years younger than me—"

"You are all quite young," Bai Yi turned around helplessly, "So can you obediently do what children should do?"

Yikang sobbed, and didn't understand Bai Yi's words for a while.

"What kind of revenge, investigation, and murder... are all things that should be left to adults." Bai Yi walked forward with Yikang on his back, "The task of a child is to learn the skills well, and then safely grow up."

Yikang calmed down, she supported Bai Yi's shoulders, and was silently lost in thought.

After a while, she murmured and retorted, "...I'm not a child anymore, I'm already 13 years old."

"13 years old is still very young." Bai Yi replied, he thought for a while, and then said with emotion, "But you are really brave today, many people even at the age of 30, when facing that kind of thug You won't have the courage you have today."

Yikang rubbed his eyes.

She snorted lightly, and leaned on Bai Yi's shoulder again.

Although she was separated by clothes, she felt some warmth.

"...I'm not afraid of them." Yikang said softly.

"It's not ashamed to be afraid. It's even more rare to be able to persevere in fear." Bai Yi said softly, "These people are really bad. Even if you really said a name today, they will arrest you in two days. If I stay at home, I will still turn around and kill you."

"...then I'll kill them all."

Well, kill them all.

Bai Yi couldn't help laughing, why would he explain this kind of truth to a 13-year-old girl.

"By the way, Princess, you—"

"My name is Chen Xiaomian." Yikang said softly, "Zhu Youxiao, sleep peacefully."

……

At the refugee camp in the south, the firelight reflected the sky for half a day tonight.

Princess Yining walked anxiously in the open space outside the camp, her eyes fixed on the east corner of the street.

"Come! Come!!" The voices of the yamen servants suddenly rose, "Doctor Bai has returned with the Princess!!"

Yi Ning was about to run towards the direction they were pointing at - but at the next moment, she held back.

She lowered her face and resumed her cold expression of rejecting others thousands of miles away.

Bai Yi approached quickly with Yikang on his back, and soon fell into everyone's sight.

Yikang's right foot was injured, and Bai Yi carefully put her on the stretcher outside the camp, and as soon as he let go, two knives were put on Bai Yi's neck from behind - those were the two Taoists of Xuanqingguan , only take orders from Princess Yining himself.

Bai Yi slowly raised his hands.

"...Is this how you repay your favor?"

"Repay your kindness?" Yining said with a frosty face, "...I have something to ask you."

"What are you doing?" Yikang yelled angrily, "He saved my life tonight! Put down the knives!"

"Oh, really, what a coincidence." Yining didn't take Yikang's words to heart at all, she glanced at Bai Yi indifferently, "Fuchen beat you in the yamen this morning, and you saved Yikang's life tonight , Doctor Bai is indeed a benevolent doctor."

"What do you mean?" Bai Yi frowned.

"Having evil intentions, colluding with the refugees, directing and acting on their own." Yining's voice was cold, "It's nothing more than... that's all."

Bai Yi clenched his fists, and he was about to speak, when a whisper he was very familiar with suddenly came from behind Yining.

——"Fourteen, go unload their weapons."

Bo Ling walked out of the camp tent at some point.

Maybe it was a gust of wind, or a shadow, but in an instant, the blade on Bai Yi's neck fell to the ground.

Bai Yi was pulled up by Fourteen.

"Thank you." Bai Yi said softly, and then walked towards Bai Ling.

Yi Ning turned his head and saw the young Bo Ling standing in the night wind.

The girl's eyes were filled with strong hostility, without the slightest fear.
