imperial psychologist

Chapter 44 Unprecedented Fury
Many thoughts flooded into Bai Ling's mind at this moment.

When different people throw suicide signals to counselors, they have different purposes.

Depressed visits may be due to desperation of mood;

BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) visits may be used to test the counselor's responses;

Even, for some quick-thinking visitors, "I want to commit suicide" may just be a thought that flashed through their minds, and they said it directly without thinking much...

But no matter what the situation is, the safest first reaction is probably to try to empathize, to try to give feedback on what she said.

Bai Ling pondered for a moment, "Do you think, Madam, that I, the old lady, and Mrs. Qu are all... indifferent? It seems that our concern for you is based on our own interests in the end."

Bo Ling still stared into Qu's eyes as before.

Qu's chest heaved more violently than before, but her voice was still cold, "Isn't it?"

"I'm not, ma'am, I really hope to understand your position." Bo Ling's voice was very soft.

Qu Shi laughed almost immediately, she looked away, looked at the branches swaying in the wind and rain not far away, and shook her head with a bit of sarcasm.

"Berling, don't you think it's hypocritical for you to do this?"

Bai Ling was still looking at Qu, she was silent for a while, and then said, "Actually, I can feel that the empress is very angry now."

Qu Shi snorted.

Bai Ling tilted his head slightly, and continued, "Although I think that I am indeed trying to express my concern for you, it seems that to the empress, this kind of concern means taking advantage of you. I will be a little curious, why the empress... ...would have such a feeling?"

A flash of lightning suddenly flashed across, illuminating everyone's faces brightly.

Qu's heart trembled slightly.

She faintly felt that the conversation with Bo Ling was a little dangerous.

Because the words that come out of this little girl's mouth are often calm and unexpected.She is like a ball of cotton, unmoved by all the attacks directed at herself, but the questions thrown over her often have some sharp and clear directions.

Chu felt tired.

"Miss!"

Baoyuan's cry sounded almost at the same time as the thunder, and she rushed forward in a stride, and promptly supported Qu Shi who was a little weak.

Bo Ling was drenched all over, and the hand he stretched out was as cold as iron.The moment she touched Qu Shi, she herself realized this, and promptly withdrew her hand, but handed back the umbrella that had slipped from the concubine's hand to Bao Yuan.

"What's the use of asking these hypocritically?" Qu obviously didn't really want to end the conversation, even though she had already fallen into Bao Yuan's arms, her eyes still stopped on Bo Ling, "You still Not... not for..."

"I really hope that I can be more sincere..." Bai Ling looked at the imperial concubine with a little worry, and said in a low voice, "In that case, the empress will probably be more willing to believe in my sincerity."

"Your sincerity?..."

Qu leaned on Baoyuan, and wanted to say something more, but Baoyuan had already shouted loudly, and the three maids who were standing at the intersection hurriedly trotted over here with their skirts.

With the help of several people, Qu Shi leaned over the back of a palace man, and then trotted all the way back to Chengqian Palace.

Baoyuan also ran for a dozen steps, but when she turned around, she found that Bai Ling hadn't followed.

I saw Bo Ling standing up alone in the rain with some difficulty—but because he had been kneeling for too long, he almost lost all feeling below his knees.

Bao Yuan slapped her thigh, and then she came to her senses, and hurried back to cover Bai Ling from the rain.

This night in Chengqian Palace was really full of chaos.

The maid who came back first said that the imperial concubine was drenched in the rain, and the hearts of the palace people were in their throats. They had already boiled a whole pot of ginger soup and waited for the empress to come back.The stove in the bedroom has been turned on, six or seven Mrs. Tang are warming in the arms of the maids, and the dry clothes are also prepared.

An older woman stood at the front, guarding the gate with a few new maids, watching the return of the imperial concubine.

At this time, it's not easy to send too many people out to look for it, she couldn't help but sweat profusely, "This treasure mandarin duck is really real, your majesty messes around, and she lets her mess around!"

"Grandma Shu, don't worry," the maid at the side whispered, "You just came back, I'm afraid you don't know about the turmoil of the past few days. The empress is determined to go out tonight, and none of us can stop it."

"Yeah, the lady hasn't gone out for half a year... I don't know what's going on, but I have to go to the Imperial Garden to see for myself today..."

"I've never seen the empress care so much about anyone..."

The maids chattered away, and the woman felt her ears were bothered, and said sharply to the last person who spoke, "How long have you been in Chengqian Palace? There are so many things you haven't seen!"

The maids fell silent.

Zheng Shu said in a cold voice, "What is the origin of this new pharmacist today?"

"I don't know..." The maids looked at each other, they didn't answer neatly, and suddenly one of them raised his hand, "I heard from her this morning that she is the daughter of the imperial physician who stopped the medicine for the empress a few days ago."

Bai Shijun's daughter?

Zheng Shu was surprised. She was over fifty years old and was already an old man in the palace. She knew a thing or two about what could and couldn't be said in the harem.

Bai Shijun's daughter...isn't that the girl whom the queen mother took a fancy to a few years ago.

Did he come to Chengqian Palace again?

Just after Haishi, the figure of Concubine Qu finally appeared at the end of the palace alley, and all the palace people ran to meet her. Zheng Shu took the umbrella and quickly reached out to touch Concubine Gui's forehead.

"Mother-in-law." Qu Shi had lost all strength, and spoke in a low voice.

Zheng Shu quickly responded, "Hey! I'm here, ma'am. What's wrong..."

Qu closed her eyes, and asked again in a low voice, "Is the water ready?"

"Water?" Zheng Shu didn't understand, and the maid at the side knew what was going on, and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, we have prepared all the things you ordered before you left, ginger soup, Tang Pozi, hot water for bathing, and medicinal baths. The medicinal materials are all ready."

"Okay, okay..." Qu Shi nodded, and whispered, "Let her take a good soak."

she?
Zheng Shu turned her head, looked past Qu's, and looked deeper into the alley.

Under the dim palace lantern, Baoyuan was walking through the dark corridor with a thin girl supported, and the limping figures of the two gradually became clear.

The palace people helped the empress back to the bedroom, while Zheng Shu stood at the door and waited for the two to come.

"Grandma Shu!" When Bao Yuan saw Zheng Shu, his eyes were almost pleasantly surprised, "You are finally back!"

"What's the matter—" Before Zheng Shu finished speaking, she noticed the redness and swelling on Baoyuan's face, "What's wrong with your face?"

"I can't tell, please don't ask, I will explain to you later," Bao Yuan supported Bai Ling, and said with some difficulty, "I have been with the empress all these years, and I have never seen the empress like today. Who are you mad at so late! Fortunately, you came back, otherwise I really don't know what to do!"

Zheng Shu was surprised again.

It's not just that Bao Yuan hasn't seen her, since Qu's entry into the palace, Zheng Shu has never seen Qu's temper, not even once.
