imperial psychologist

Chapter 638
When everyone from Lanzihao and Lefang appeared in front of Chen Yicong, he carefully looked at each face.

No Berlin.

"Is this all of you?" Chen Yicong asked.

The old man in the lead quickly bowed and said, "The singing dolls are still young and have not been taught etiquette. If we bring them here rashly, we are afraid to scare the holy car..."

"Except for the child?" Chen Yicong frowned, "Is there no one else?"

Ai Songqing, who was standing behind, frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered that when she was at Xi's shop, she heard someone say that when she and Bo Ling were singing a night show for the dead concubine, Jin Yiwei also came to search suddenly, but Then he left inexplicably...

Ai Songqing looked at the emperor not far away with some uncertainty.

Could it be that at that time, the person who brought Jin Yiwei was the emperor in front of him...

"Your Majesty..." Ai Songqing said hesitantly, "Are you looking for Bo Ling?"

All of a sudden everyone looked over.

Chen Yicong's eyes brightened slightly, but he soon suppressed the urgency in his heart, and asked in a still calm voice, "... where is she?"

"The rain stopped for a while just now, and she took Niannian—a child in our Lanzihao—to the latrine." Ai Songqing said softly, "Maybe right now—"

Before Ai Songqing finished speaking, Chen Yicong had strode out of the living room.

Lu Dou opened his umbrella and followed Chen Yicong's footsteps, but Chen Yicong snatched the handle of the umbrella, "Don't follow me, wait here."

Before Lu Dou could react, Chen Yicong walked into the rain curtain alone with an umbrella.

……

Along the way, Chen Yicong met several groups of patrolling guards.

They obviously didn't expect to meet the lone emperor suddenly at this time and this place. Everyone stopped and saluted in a hurry, but Chen Yicong ignored everything. He didn't know how much shallow rain was crushed under his feet, and he moved forward at a high speed. .

Until the familiar shadow finally appeared in a lonely pavilion in the distance.

With his back to him, Bo Ling was sitting with a child at the stone table in the lonely pavilion.

The two sat opposite each other, as if they were turning over the flower rope, or they were playing some other game.

Chen Yicong stopped in his tracks. He didn't know how to approach him for a moment, so he just stood in the rain curtain and watched for a while, until Niannian found him.

Then, Burling turned around.

There was only the sound of rain in the world, and Chen Yicong looked at that familiar face from a distance. Under the rain curtain, he couldn't really see Bai Ling's expression, but he saw her slowly standing up.

Chen Yicong's hand holding the umbrella trembled slightly.

The brim of his umbrella tilted slightly forward, blocking his and Berlin's view.

In the sound of rain, he heard his own heartbeat.

It turned out that after so long, it was still like this.

Some things cannot be deceived, the more one wants to hide and deny, the more turbulent they become.

Chen Yicong took a step towards the lonely pavilion in front of him under the rain curtain, and then took another step. Chen Yicong felt that the journey was extremely long. When he stood in front of Bailing again, he saw the little girl shrunk in the direction of Bailing with some fear. behind.

There was no one around, and Bo Ling didn't salute, but just gave him a blessing, just like before.

Chen Yicong has imagined the reunion with Bai Ling many times, but the unexpected encounter tonight is far better than all his previous imaginations.

Berlin didn't look much different, she didn't even make up tonight.

But Chen Yicong could hardly take his gaze away from those deer-like gentle eyes.

"I... just passed by." Chen Yicong spoke first, "Let's take my umbrella and let's go together."

Bo Ling shook his head, "Three people, how can one umbrella hold up, Nian Nian and I should wait for the rain to stop before leaving."

"Well, wait for the rain to stop!" Nian Nian repeated.

Bai Ling held Nian Nian in his arms, and looked at Chen Yicong again, "Why did the emperor come here alone, did he get lost?"

"...Yes." Chen Yicong nodded with difficulty, "I got lost."

With that said, he also sat down at the stone table, and together with Bo Ling, cast his eyes on the rain curtain outside the pavilion.

But after a while, he unconsciously looked towards Berlin again.

Berlin was still looking out.

Chen Yicong withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and said softly, "... how are you, this time."

"All good." Bo Ling replied calmly.

"You... you went to Baihuaya, I—"

"It was Sun Ge's idea, and the emperor didn't know about it at the time," Bai Ling said softly, "His Royal Highness has already told me about it."

"Ah."

The hands in Chen Yicong's sleeves were tightly squeezed together.

He took a deep breath, "...are you still blaming me?"

Bai Ling laughed instead, and she said softly, "What is your fault for the emperor... Isn't this a misunderstanding?"

"Yes, I misunderstood." Chen Yicong nodded.

He looked at his toes.

Since it is a misunderstanding, shall we clear up this misunderstanding?
"I saw Bai Yi and Bai Shijun," Chen Yicong said suddenly, "in Jiangzhou."

There was a momentary delay in Bai Ling's movements, and then he adjusted the posture of Nian Nian in his arms, and asked with a sigh, "Are they all right?"

"...It should be all right." Chen Yicong said softly, "I have ordered that the disappearance of Zhu Lin, the medical officer of Xinglin Hospital, should not be pursued. They should have gone to a safe place by now."

"A safe place..." Bo Ling repeated in a low voice, and then laughed.

"I don't ask for anything else, I just hope you can see my sincerity." Chen Yicong said in a low voice.

Bo Ling bowed his head and smiled again, but did not answer.

"I will find a way to make up for the hardship you suffered in Baihuaya—"

"Thank you," Bo Ling looked at him, "With the emperor's words, my work in Lan Zihao will be easier in the future."

Chen Yicong was a little surprised, "...you still want to stay at Lan Zihao?"

Bo Ling nodded, "Yes, the emperor can ask Eunuch Yuan for specific matters. Eunuch Yuan has really taken care of me in many matters during this time."

"It should be..." Chen Yicong frowned, "But if—"

"Ah, the rain has stopped." Bo Ling said suddenly.

Chen Yicong regained his composure, only then did he notice that the light rain outside had become too weak to be noticeable at some point.

"It's almost time to go." Bai Ling put Nian Nian on the ground and held her hand, "If the emperor has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first..."

"En." Chen Yicong nodded again, "We have to go."

However, when Bai Ling walked down the steps of Guting, Chen Yicong couldn't help shouting again.

"Burling!"

Bo Ling stopped in his tracks, and turned his head in some puzzlement.

Chen Yicong felt that his breathing became short of breath again, he said in a stuttering manner, "What happened that night... I don't blame you, I don't blame you a long time ago."

Berlin smiled again.

The four eyes met, Chen Yicong couldn't understand Bai Ling's gaze.

Although Berlin seems to be smiling tonight, the smile is cold and distant.

"You are becoming more and more like an emperor." Bai Ling said softly.

Chen Yicong was stunned there.

Bo Ling hugged Nian Nian, bowed to Chen Yicong again, and then walked slowly into the night.

Chen Yicong watched her go, but for some reason, he suddenly lost the courage to catch up.

When Bai Ling's back was completely gone, he supported the stone table by himself, and sat down in a daze.

It was around this time that he realized how shallow his previous thoughts of "releasing life" were.

He couldn't let Berlin go.

he can not.
