imperial psychologist

Chapter 52
When Bo Ling came out again, the two women were already standing outside waiting respectfully.

Bo Ling led them back to Chengqian Palace alone, and for the first time on the road, the two of them didn't say a word, just shrunk their heads like quails.

When I returned to Chengqian Palace, Baoyuan was personally explaining the rules to a few newcomers - they will serve in front of the empress in the future, if they don't teach them personally, Baoyuan is not at ease.

Seeing Bai Ling returning, Bao Yuan temporarily stopped what she was doing, "Hey, why did you come back so soon?"

"It didn't take long in the first place. If you go early, you will come back early." Bai Ling said, "Besides, Grandma Shu wants me to come back earlier in the morning?"

Baoyuan laughed, and slapped Bai Ling lightly, "You are an honest person, but there is nothing to be positive about this kind of thing... Take it easy, wait for me here for a while."

Bo Ling stood there waiting, inadvertently glanced at a few young court ladies beside him.

Those people trembled in fright, and quickly avoided their eyes.

Bo Ling was a little surprised, but also closed his eyes.

Is this someone who also regards himself as Yan Luo...

There's nothing wrong with that.

When Bao Yuan came back, Bo Ling saw that she had a bulging cloth bag and a greased paper tube in her hand.

"This is……"

Baoyuan beckoned, motioned Boling to get closer, and then said in a low voice, "There are goose down cushions in the bag, and the stone floor behind the rockery is too hard. It's not good to kneel for a long time. I'll bring you more." A few sheets can also be used to keep out the cold when it is cold.

"There is an umbrella wrapped in this oil paper, and a small pot of water and dry food. If it rains again, stop kneeling stupidly, pack up your things, and come back quickly with an umbrella. No one was watching."

Bo Ling was surprised for a moment, but when he recovered, he was suddenly moved.

Baoyuan pushed the thing into Bai Ling's arms, "Hurry up and take it, why are you standing there?"

Bo Ling hesitated slightly, "You do this, in case—"

Baoyuan laughed again, and leaned into Bai Ling's ear and said, "To tell you the truth, this is all ordered by the empress, she doesn't want to see you suffer too much, so don't push yourself too hard. "

Bo Ling was taken aback, and then took both the cloth bag and the greased paper tube with both hands.

"It's going to be hard for you these few days." Bao Yuan said with some distress.

"Where." Bo Ling just shook his head, looking sideways at the short and fat woman behind him, "You bring another censer, and the Buddha bone incense that you will use today."

"Okay." The short fat woman replied obsequiously, then lowered her head, trotted for a while, and went to the storage room of Chengqian Palace.

That gesture seemed to be a bit more courteous than when the old lady was there.

Baoyuan couldn't help but choke there for a moment.

……what's going on?
Bai Ling turned back again, and said to the tall and thin woman, "Go and get me a small desk for kneeling. It's not too high, it's just good enough for me to read with my hands on."

"Hey, hey! Girl, wait." The tall and thin woman also took action immediately.

Bao Yuan stared straight at the sight—the sun came out from the west!
These two old things... there are times when they are so obedient!
Bai Ling looked at Baoyuan again, and said softly, "I'll trouble my sister to take care of your mother. When she feels better in the afternoon, it's best to go out for a walk, even if she doesn't leave the palace gate, just stay here. It’s okay to walk around in the Qian Palace.”

Bao Yuan was still immersed in unspeakable shock, and nodded numbly.

After the two women finished their things, Bai Ling took them out again.

……

It was around the dusk of this day that Qu Shi really woke up.She felt that her sanity had returned to clarity, and her mind was not as drowsy and tired as it was during the day.

It is around this time every day that I really have the strength to think about something.

Qu's mood was very calm, she looked at the setting sun through the window at night, and drank the thick porridge fed by Baoyuan one mouthful at a time.

Everything around is peaceful and serene. This is the golden moment of every day. It seems that a lot of burden has been lifted from my heart at once, and it seems that there are many things to look forward to in the future.

Even though he knew in his heart that all this was a fleeting illusion, Qu still cherished this moment of peace.

"Enough." Qu Shi tilted his head, "I'm full."

"Your Majesty, you've only had half a bowl of porridge." Bao Yuan didn't put away the bowl, with anxiety clearly written on his face, "You haven't eaten at noon, how can you drink half a bowl of porridge all day?"

Looking at Baoyuan, Qu looked at Bao Yuan, stretched out her hand and pulled the strands of hair from her ears back, and said softly, "But I really can't drink anymore, if I'm hungry at night, let's talk about it."

After Qu's order, Bao Yuan could only accept the bowl.

"What would you like to eat in the morning?"

"Anything is fine." Qu said with disgust.

Baoyuan suddenly felt a little bored - she couldn't remember how many times, whenever she asked the empress what she wanted, she always answered like this.

Whatever, whatever, so be it.

As if nothing cares, nothing matters.

Bao Yuan gritted her teeth to hide her sadness, and suddenly remembered Bai Ling's instructions during the day, adjusted her tone, and said in a low voice, "Then I'll help you get up and walk."

Qu Shi still shook his head, "I don't want to move."

"You are always lying on the bed, so you are not hungry and have no strength. Listen to the servant, get out of bed and walk!"

As soon as the words fell, Zheng Shu had already glared at Baoyuan.

Baoyuan didn't speak, just looked at the imperial concubine eagerly.

Zheng Shu also stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Madam, the imperial physician also said before that you have to be active every day. If you are tired, then let's not go out. It's good to walk around this room a few times. You Look." Qu sighed, and stretched out her hand silently, "...then help me to stand in front of the window."

Baoyuan quickly leaned over, supported Qu Shi's back to let her sit up, Qu Shi supported the edge of the bed and sat for a while, then slowly got up and went to the window.

The palace people set up windows for the noble concubine. At this time, the setting sun was about to set, and the last ray of afterglow reflected in Qu's eyes, making her pupils shine golden.

Qu stood there, waiting for the blood-colored golden crow to slowly slide down the palace wall, then she turned around and walked to the couch again.

When passing the desk in the middle of the room, Qu Shi suddenly felt that something was different from usual, she stopped and slowly looked around.

"...Where are the two women." Qu asked suddenly, "It seems that I haven't seen them all day today."

Bao Yuan smiled, gloating and saying, "They are busy today."

"Busy?" Qu looked at Bao Yuan with some concern.

At the beginning, mother specially asked His Majesty to send these two people into Chengqian Palace, just to record Qu's daily necessities here.

Who did she meet, what did she eat, how many times did she cry, how many times did she laugh... It would all be passed on to the old lady of the Qu family the next day. This is in Chengqian Palace.

Mrs. Qu's original intention was naturally to be concerned, but...

Qu's heart sank, "What are these two people busy with?"

"Miss Boling went to the Imperial Garden to pray for incense today, and they will be with them!" Baoyuan replied quickly.

Qu Shi was stunned for a while, then her eyes dimmed, and she sighed again, "...Forget it, let that child suffer a lot."

Although I don't know why those two people are staring at her...

But if she can see the sinister people in the palace, and taste the despair of unanswered calls... that's fine too.

When she wants to get out of trouble and find a way to send her out, maybe she will understand her painstaking efforts.

But Bao Yuan suddenly laughed, "Oh, ma'am, you are wrong, it's not what you think."

Qu Shi was a little dazed for a moment, "What?"

"The two women were subdued by Miss Bai Ling. Today she went to the Imperial Garden to pray for incense, and the incense burner was carried by the two of them!"

Qu thought he had heard wrong.

But looking at Baoyuan's joyful expression, it seems that she is right.

"What's going on?" Qu asked.
