imperial psychologist

Chapter 480 Compromise
This night, Chen Yicong and Bo Ling still went out for a walk together after dinner, which seemed to have become a new habit.

Snowflakes fell on the heads of the two of them, and Chen Yicong suddenly thought of the saying "together with a white head".

His heart surged for a moment, and he looked at Bai Ling beside him—the girl with her eyes half-downcast, her expression lonely.

Chen Yicong suppressed the sentence that was almost about to be said.

Sometimes, as long as a thread is pulled out of a matter, the subsequent threading is much easier.

Just like the current Chen Yicong, he can almost imagine that if he said something to Bai Ling about "together with a white head", she would probably nod with a smile and say "yes", and maybe she would slowly cuddle up.

He let out a sigh that went unnoticed, and only a frost-colored mist hung in the air.

That's good of course...although, it won't come from her heart.

Thinking of this, he unconsciously squeezed Bo Ling's hand hard.

"……pain!"

Bo Ling gasped, Chen Yicong came back to his senses, and quickly let go of Bo Ling.

"Bai Ling..." Chen Yicong called out in a low voice.

Burling looked up.

Looking at each other, Chen Yicong looked at the long-awaited sweetheart in front of him, but his mood gradually calmed down.

"Even now..." Chen Yicong said softly, "I also think it's very good, it's already very good."

Bai Ling frowned, "What's good? Now...how is it?"

Chen Yicong reached out and lightly brushed off some of the snow on Bailing's hood, but he didn't answer.

A certain tacit understanding made him understand that Berlin should understand.

He doesn't need to say so.

But no matter what the purpose of Berlin is to flatter - to save the lives of her father and brother?In order to be able to escape again one day in the future?Or did she really suddenly figure everything out, and she was willing to stay in the palace to be with her for a long time from then on...

Neither matter.

As long as Bo Ling is willing to stay by his side like this, the rest of the compromise can be left to him.

Whether it's true or not, he doesn't care.

Chen Yicong smiled.

As soon as this thought came to him, he suddenly felt a huge burden was lifted from his heart. The old saying goes that taking a step back will lead to a brighter future... It is indeed true.

For the first time in his life, he was grateful for his position.

"...I don't ask for more." He lowered his head and whispered in Bai Ling's ear, "I assure you."

Bai Ling was taken aback.

Chen Yicong's words caused a storm in her heart almost instantly.

Is this... been seen through?

When did it happen...

Could it be that these days, she thought that she had concealed herself perfectly, but it turned out that... Is Chen Yicong pushing the boat along?

…Then what is the patience these days?
Bo Ling's whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"Let's go back." Chen Yicong grabbed Bai Ling's waist, "It's too cold here."

Back in the small courtyard, Bo Ling managed to maintain his spirit, washing up as usual.

Chen Yicong waited in the room, and after Bai Ling lay down, he went to the table and blew out the lights in the room.

In the darkness, Chen Yicong sat next to Bai Ling's bed again, and quietly accompanied her to sleep tonight, but tonight, the two of them did not hold hands again.

"Go back." Bo Ling said softly, "You don't have to guard me anymore."

Chen Yicong didn't speak, just shook his head in the dark.

"Isn't it boring to be alone in the palace these few days?" Chen Yicong asked.

Bo Ling was silent for a moment, "... Your Majesty is willing to let me out of the palace?"

"Not yet." Chen Yicong said softly, "But in a few days, I can let Yikang come to see you and let her come and talk with you."

The two in the darkness fell silent again.

Maybe that's fine too.

Chen Yicong thought, there are some things that perhaps should be said.

……

A few days later, Yikang arrived as scheduled. She looked haggard, and her eyes were red the first time she saw Bo Ling.

"I knew you must be alive!" She held Bai Ling's hand tightly, "I knew it!"

Berlin did not understand.

Yikang wiped away his tears in a hurry, and looked at Bai Ling in front of him, crying and laughing, "I told Bai Yi many times, but he didn't believe it—"

"Wait," Bo Ling interrupted Yikang, "what do you mean 'I'm still alive'?"

"They found a dead body in Jian'an Hu. Bai Yi went to identify it and said it was you..."

Yikang spoke with a trembling voice, and told Boling all the things outside in the past few days, one by one, one by one.

Zheng Mi requisitioned the land of Donglin Temple to hold a grand funeral for Bo Ling, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the mountain is full of plains.Many people came to the funeral, many of whom were people who were arrested and sent to refugee camps.And some old friends from Berlin...

Hearing this, Bo Ling suddenly understood why Chen Yicong's behavior was so abnormal a few days ago.

And why that night, he suddenly said that he wanted Yikang to visit him-Chen Yicong didn't even have the courage to throw the truth directly in his face, and had to rely on Yikang to convey it.

"Where did the corpse come from?" Bo Ling asked, "Where did they go to find a corpse that was about my size?"

Yikang was taken aback for a moment - she didn't think about this question carefully.

But Berlin didn't ask any further.

Bai Ling lowered his head, and Xiaoman's bloody figure appeared in front of his eyes again.

"How could I die," Bai Ling murmured in a low voice, "Chen Yicong is not willing to risk me..."

Yikang lowered his head and covered his face, "That's what I told Bai Yi too, but he just doesn't believe it!"

"Where is Bai Yi now?"

"I've been imprisoned in the poison prison again..." Yikang said with difficulty, "The emperor said that since he is given a chance and he refuses to leave, he should be imprisoned first and wait for the next year to go with the prisoners exiled by the spring prisoner." ..."

Bo Ling was surprised for a moment, and then lowered his eyes.

It was also expected.

Yikang continued, "I made up my mind before that I would never see him again...but after hearing the news that you threw yourself into the lake, I decided to come see you off.

"In the mourning hall, when I saw him, I had a feeling." Yikang looked at Bo Ling, "Do you know what it is?"

Burling raised his head.

Yikang looked sadly.

"Bo Yi now... seems to have collapsed.

"I don't care about anything, I'm not afraid of anything... In front of so many Jin Yiwei, I said everything that can kill the nine clans... That's why I was arrested again."

Yikang lowered his head, his hands sunk deep in his hair.

"I can't get into the Poison Prison," her voice choked up again, "but if he is sent away like this, I...I really..."

"When was the spring prisoner exiled?"

"It should be next month." Yikang said softly, "After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we will set off for the north."

Looking at Yikang in front of him, Bo Ling felt a little moved in his heart.

Although Yikang's ramblings, almost none of them were for Bai Ling... But she also didn't have a word for herself.

It's all Bai Yi.

"...The princess," Bai Ling said softly, "do me a favor."
