imperial psychologist

Chapter 5

Bai Ling was sitting alone by the well in the yard. As usual, she had finished watering the vegetable field in the backyard, fed the chickens, and washed the flagstone floor in the front yard.

She stepped on the stone floor with bare feet, staring at the small puddle on the ground in a daze - this is also one of her usual habits.

"Bai Ling!" Bai Yi's voice came from outside the courtyard, pulling Bai Ling back from his thoughts, she looked at the door, and her brother really appeared there.

Bai Yi has phoenix eyes, narrow and long eyebrows, a nose that hangs like a gall, and his skin is whiter than Bai Ling - it is said that it is because he looks like his mother.When he was young, Bai Yi was often misunderstood as a little girl by others because of his good-looking appearance; when he grew up a little bit, he always left some stubble on purpose to avoid causing trouble when he went out. gangster.

Seeing his brother, Bai Ling quickly jumped down from the well, and trotted to Bai Yi's side, "It's only been a month since I saw you, and you've grown taller again."

Bai Yi rushed over, already sweating profusely.Seeing that Bo Ling was staying in the yard well and finally calmed down, he felt a little unable to support his body. With one hand propped up on his knees, he bent over and gasped, while the other pinched his sister's arm, his knuckles turned white from the exertion.

Bo Ling patted him on the back, "You take a break? I'll get you a glass of water."

Bai Yi wiped his sweat, shook his head again and again and said, "It's okay, don't worry about me, have you put away your things?"

Burling shook his head.

Bai Yi straightened up, "Then don't delay, I will clean up with you, you follow me, we will leave the city now—"

Berlin: "Where are you going?"

Bai Yi: "Go back to my hometown in the countryside first. Father sent me a letter saying that uncle is still there, and he has sent someone to report. We can go there first to avoid the limelight."

Bai Ling sighed, grabbed Bai Yi from behind who was about to step into the house, and said in a low voice, "Wait, you can't leave."

Bai Yi heard the strangeness in his sister's tone, so he stopped, "What?"

Bo Ling still said softly, "This time we can't get over it just by avoiding it. If something really happens to our father, I'm afraid that the person who arrested us is already at our hometown before we reach the uncle's house." Waiting."

Bai Yi thought for a while, his eyes froze, and he asked tentatively, "This time...is it a matter in the palace?"

Burling nodded silently.

Bai Yi frowned, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and closed the wooden door of the yard, and then pulled Bai Ling to sit on the old tree stump by the well, listening to her in detail.

It's not that Bai Yi asked him to take his sister away from home—after all, there are medical troubles everywhere, and there will be no exception just because this place is in ancient times.In the early years, because of his superb medical skills, Bai Shijun was often sought by some officials and ordinary people to see a doctor.

As a doctor, it is inevitable to encounter situations of being unable to recover.

If you meet a reasonable family, even though you are separated from relatives and relatives, and you are in great grief, you still stick to etiquette and politely send the doctor out; His family followed suit.

Not to mention that Bai Shijun is an official of the imperial court, but he himself has some fists and kicks, and he is a mature man. These people will not find him for provocations, but naturally they will focus on his sons and daughters.

As a medical officer, it was inevitable that he would be on duty in the palace.In his absence, there were only two brothers and sisters left in the family. Once they were caught in the air, and the two brothers and sisters almost died together.Fortunately, the Empress Dowager was gracious that night, and sent two Jinyi guards to deliver snacks to Bo Ling, and almost rescued the siblings from the knife.

From then on, whenever a patient died, Bai Shijun would ask Bai Yi to take Bo Ling to a strange place to hide for a while, and come back when the weather calmed down.

The life of Xiaodong hiding in Tibet has been much better. When Bai Yi grew up to be 12 years old and Bai Shijun wanted to pass on his son's legacy, Bai Yi refused to study medicine with him.Here he was prevaricating his father, while on the other he ran to West Street by himself, and somehow managed to make the chief chef of No. [-] Beijing Restaurant - Baiweilou willingly accept him as an apprentice, and he began to learn cooking from then on. career.

Since then, Bai Yi only went home two or three times a month, and only talked to his sister when he had something to do.Even though Bai Shijun sighed extremely in his heart, he could only reap the consequences for himself.

At this time, the Bai brothers and sisters once again fell into the pit dug by their father.When Bai Ling briefly explained what she had seen and heard in the past month, Bai Yi also fully understood in his heart that this time it was not a situation that could be calmed down by going out to hide for a while.

There was anger in Bai Yi's eyes, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, "I really have never seen such a shameless person!"

The corners of Bai Ling's mouth sank slightly, and he sighed.

"I reminded him 800 years ago, it's not easy to do an errand in the palace!" Bai Yi said, pacing back and forth in the yard, "Except for the old court envoy who has a bit of conscience, everyone else has already learned that." It's the same way in the officialdom. If there is no accident, he will be harmonious, and if there is an accident, he will be pushed to the front. With the medical level of this era, what can he do with an old Chinese medicine doctor?"

Bo Ling sat back on the edge of the well, propping up the stone edge with both hands, and slowly swayed his toes a few times.

Bai Yi's gaze finally turned back and landed on Bai Ling, "You should say something."

Bai Ling just looked up at the sky and sighed, "Don't talk about the old man, if I didn't know that you also passed through, I would definitely recognize you two as biological father and son."

Bai Yi stared at his younger sister, "I believe you a ghost" on his face.

Bo Ling: "Am I wrong? You are the chief surgeon of the heart surgery department, you can be regarded as half of my senior brother, but look at what you have done since you came here... there is one Does your old business have anything to do with it?"

Bai Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, "So what?"

Bo Ling said calmly, "You can hide it from Dad, but you can't hide it from me. I know you, you just can't stand the traditional medicine, so you would rather go to Baiweilou to kill chickens than learn medicine from Dad."

Bai Yi sat down, "Two different things."

"It's the same thing." Bai Ling stood up this time, walked to Bai Yi and squatted down, "You have what you insist on, and he also has what he insists on. Everyone has their own limitations, but Dad was able to agree to it back then. It's really a big concession for you to learn how to cook...you can't bully the ancients with all your modernity on your shoulders."

Bai Yi didn't speak, but his eyes gradually calmed down. After a while, he looked at his sister, "Have you already made up your mind?"

Bo Ling nodded, "However, it will be a bit risky, and you have to come and help me."

"It's about this time, don't worry about it," Bai Yi straightened his back, "tell me what you want me to do."

Bo Ling was silent for a moment, then said word by word, "Enter the palace."
