imperial psychologist

Chapter 477

The days passed slowly like this.

Chen Yicong would come to the small courtyard at night, sit on the chair beside the bed, accompany her to sleep in the dark, and then go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to rest by himself.

Every night.

Bo Ling kept asking about the whereabouts of Bai Yi and Bai Shijun, and Chen Yicong gradually realized that this matter was a reality he could not escape.

Chen Yicong became more and more cramped, because Bo Ling recently proposed more and more frequently that he wanted to go out of the palace for a walk.

He couldn't think of any reasonable reason to stop him at all, he could only excuse that he wanted to go together, but he was too busy recently, so he waited, and when he was done with this part of his work, he and Bo Ling would leave the palace together.

Bai Ling looked very disappointed—even though she reluctantly agreed, Chen Yicong could still feel this disappointment.

He and Bo Ling finally got to where they are today, and no matter what, they can't let everything go to waste at this time.

Chen Yicong was a little anxious, but he had no choice but to arrange his plan step by step.

Once during this period, Bai Ling asked him if he could deliver a letter to Bai Shijun and Bai Yi, and Chen Yicong agreed.

When he got the letter from Berlin, he opened it and read it carefully by himself.

The contents of the letter are very ordinary inquiries, asking how Bai Shijun and Bai Yi are doing recently, and writing that they have been taken care of very well in the palace these few days, and want their father and brother to rest assured.

Seeing those happy expressions, Chen Yicong smiled lightly.

There were just a few words that he couldn't understand.

Burling said that during this period of time, she has become more and more understanding of Shawshank's story.

She asked Bai Yi, do you still remember what his old friend Reid said when Andy left when he recalled him?
She has often thought of that passage recently, and each time she feels a lot of emotion—maybe everyone has met Shawshank, but not everyone has the opportunity to be Andy.

Shawshank, Andy, Rhett... Chen Yicong frowned at these unfamiliar names, and then handed the letter to Jin Yiwei.

He wanted to know which passage Bo Ling said "that passage".

The first two had names and surnames, and they were quickly found. There was no one named Shawshank in Pingjing, but there were seventeen Andys. As for the people named Ruide, there were even more people named Cao Ruide, seven Cao Ruide, three Fang Ruide, and twelve Liu Ruide and four Sun Ruides...

There was no clue after the interrogation, and these people had almost no intersection with the Bai family.

Afterwards, Jin Yiwei transferred all the cases written by Bai Yi from the Imperial Hospital, imitating his handwriting and wrote a watertight reply letter to Bai Ling.

At the end of the letter, "Bo Yi" wrote that the time is too far away, how can he still remember these things.

Chen Yicong and Bo Ling sat together to read this letter, he looked at Bo Ling's expression, and asked casually, "That passage...what is it talking about?"

Bai Ling stared intently at the letter in his hand.

It is true that she was pleasantly surprised when she saw the familiar handwriting.

But when she saw the end, she immediately understood - this reply letter must be fake.

That movie is one of Bai Yi's favorite works, and Bai Ling has heard him say that part countless times...

"It's fine if you don't remember," Bo Ling shook his head, "It's all just chatting, it's not important."

……

Twelfth lunar month 23, Xiaonian.

The emperor granted the courtiers an extra half-day off. After noon, everyone went home early for reunion.

Bo Ling played chess with Chen Yicong last night, and the two of them went down late at night, so Bo Ling didn't get up until the sun was shining on this day.

New Year's Eve.

This is the day of escape that was originally planned.

But in the end it was a failure.

After Sisi and Wei Ying both left, Bai Ling's life became closed again, and now all his entry and exit are under the eyes of others, Bai Ling tried his best, but still could not get any news from the outside world.

But no news is also a kind of news.

Chen Yicong didn't dare to let her see her father and Bai Yi. This absence in itself meant that there was a complete break between the emperor and Bai Yi.

Are they still alive?How are you doing?Berlin did not dare to think about this issue.

Now that I have been so hypocritical in the palace, at least I can save their lives.

What's more, there is Jiuyan outside... There is always a way.

It's just that my patience is almost at the limit - Shisi's half seal has been returned, but the dagger left by Shishi is still under her pillow every night.

Only by holding the dagger can she close her eyes.

In the afternoon of this day, Chen Yicong came to the prison in Dali Temple.

He slowly walked down the steps leading to the ground here, the front and back were dark and dark, only the sporadic lights embedded in the wall.

Bai Yi and Bai Shijun have been held incommunicado all this time. Yesterday, when Bai Shijun developed a fever, Chen Yicong ordered him to be carried out and taken to another secluded courtyard to recuperate.

Today, he came to see Bai Yi and brought him a message by the way.

In the prison, Bai Yi was disheveled, and he couldn't get up when he saw Chen Yicong, but just sat quietly against the wall.

"I came today because I have something to talk to you." Chen Yicong said softly.

Bai Yi didn't respond, and even moved his head to the other side.

Just as he was about to speak, Chen Yicong suddenly remembered another matter. He pondered for a while, and temporarily planned to cut in from a different angle.

"Shawshank... who is it?"

As soon as the words came out, Chen Yicong clearly noticed that Bai Yi's mood was different from before.

So he continued, "And Andy, Rhett... Are these people friends you knew in the past?"

This question made Bai Yi sneer.

"Tell me, Bai Yi." Chen Yicong whispered, "This question is very important to me. Because Bai Ling once said that she often thought of what Reid said after Andy left... "

After thinking about it, Chen Yicong added, "What Reid said when he recalled Andy."

Bai Yi still didn't answer.

"Bai Ling told me that she feels that maybe everyone has met her own Shawshank, but not everyone has the chance to be Andy... I didn't understand, so I can only ask you."

Bai Yi smiled lowly, "Why did you ask me? If you want to know, go ask her yourself."

"I can't ask anymore," Chen Yicong said in a low voice.

"why?"

"Berling... fell into the lake."

Bai Yi's movements froze for a moment, and his breath trembled slightly.

"I want her to be my queen, but she refuses, so..." Chen Yicong lowered his head slightly, "My condolences, I don't want to either."

Bai Yi slowly stood up from the ground, walked to the opposite side of Chen Yicong, and firmly grasped the iron gate with both hands, "You lied to me..."

"I didn't lie to you."

"You lied to me!" Bai Yi retorted, "Sisi has always been by Bai Ling's side, even if Bai Ling wanted to die, he—"

"Wei Shishi fled away a long time ago." Chen Yicong interrupted softly, "I am also arresting him, and the wanted notice has already been sent to the state capitals of Dazhou, but you are in prison and don't know."

Bai Yi was stunned for a moment, his eyes showed a bit of bewildered loneliness, and then he broke out into a roar that was almost like a roar.

"Aren't you the emperor? Didn't you lock Boling in the palace? Why did you let Boling go to the lake, and no one came to rescue him when he threw himself into the lake?"

Chen Yicong watched this scene expressionlessly from outside.

"Because Bai Ling lied to me, I let her out a long time ago." Chen Yicong said in a low voice, "A few days ago she boarded a boat alone to meet Anhu for a lake tour, and this morning... the body was just caught .”

"I don't believe it..." Bai Yi's eyes turned red instantly, "I don't believe a word of what you say!"

"I came here today to set you free, and also to set your father free." Chen Yicong said softly, "The matter has come to this, and Bo Ling probably also hopes that his funeral should be done by you."

"...Where is she?"

"I will take you there now." Chen Yicong said in a low voice.
