"Past medical history":

On the eve of entering the palace at the age of sixteen, the concubine had a similar period of slump, manifested by marked difficulty in falling asleep and compulsive behavior, and repeatedly washed her hands several times a day.

She had no idea why she was in these situations, and vaguely believed that it was because her life was interrupted by a sudden "entry into the palace" - her original plan was to follow her eldest brother to the north to become a female general. But then, under the persuasion of her mother and second brother, she realized her value to the family as a woman;

Soon after entering the uterus, all symptoms disappear on their own.

"Work (?) ）」：

1. If you only look at it from "it took eleven years to rise from a noble person to a noble concubine", the "workplace" career of the noble concubine was very successful. The only fly in the ointment may be that only the position of the concubine has been raised, but the title of the concubine has not yet been given.

Originally, after giving birth to a dragon heir, it was logical to give the name "Zhuang", but because of suicide, he was severely opposed by the courtiers.

2. Climbing to a high position was a major goal she pursued in the past, but in the past year, she has been bored with it and tired of playing the role of "concubine".

3. When asked the question "What is the life that the mother wants?", the concubine showed a very confused expression, and in the ensuing conversation, she could neither understand why I asked such a question nor how to answer it.

"Initial Diagnosis and Treatment Goals":

1. Severe depression accompanied by intense anxiety. Insomnia and loss of appetite further weakened her mobility.

But it's worth mentioning that we kept a very good eye contact throughout the conversation, and she occasionally joked in a self-deprecating way at the end of the event as she narrated, and this residual sense of humor kept me optimistic about the prospects of treatment;

2. After the discussion, we decided to have a consultation every seven days, and if she needs to increase the number of consultations temporarily during the seven-day interval, she needs to make an appointment at least one day in advance;

In addition, after today's consultation, we spent about half an hour on the first mindfulness practice guidance, and you need to spare about half an hour every day to practice according to the guidance of the body scan. Communicate the practice of the day in the evening every day.

3. In terms of cost, one tael of silver per hour for each consultation, and one settlement for ten times; Mindfulness instruction lasts for three months and costs a total of 20 taels; All of them go to the doctor separately to report the bill;

……

At this point, Bai Ling paused for a moment.

She quietly recalled yesterday's conversation with the concubine in the east side hall to confirm whether she still had important information missing.

After a moment, she lowered her head and continued to write—

"A few worrying additions":

1. Although this was not my intention, I have realized that at the beginning of this consultation, I have seriously violated the ethical code of modern counseling.

First of all, I had no way to connect with any supervisor for myself during this consultation – which meant that if I made a mistake in my operation, I would not have any peers or seniors who could provide me with support and guidance.

Secondly, out of self-preservation and other force majeure, I have gradually become involved in the life of the concubine. This kind of dual, even multiplicity is an inevitable problem for me. Will this lead to a bias in my subsequent judgment of her, or will it weaken the role of the counsellor in counselling...... I don't know.

I can only do my best.

2. In addition, there seems to be something wrong with my personal state as well. Since the beginning of this year, I have repeatedly returned to my middle school days in my dreams, dreaming of the last time I saw my aunt. I can't figure out why this is happening yet, but I'll have to figure out some way to get some help for myself—

"Smack-" There was a soft sound.

A pebble came from behind and landed right on Bai Ling's pen, causing her to involuntarily cross a line of ink on the paper.

Bai Ling came back to his senses from the memory.

Instinctively, she put down the pen, sandwiched the half-written manuscript in her hand, into the book, and closed it.

As soon as he did this, a head poked out from the top of the rockery.

"What are you doing?"

Bai Ling raised his head in response - the person lying on the rockery was the azure boy he had met the day before yesterday. It's just that today's clothes have changed from the long shirt of the day before to the dark gray official robe.

This is obviously a fake royal guard uniform.

Bai Ling casually put the manuscript back in his bag, leaving only a few inconsequential books on the small table.

At this time, her heartbeat only increased slightly—that little stone just now was indeed a warning from Fourteen.

…… It seems that the Imperial Garden is not entirely safe either.

"Pray for incense." Bai Ling replied calmly.

The young man smiled and patted the incense burner on the top of the rockery—it was put up by Bai Ling the day before yesterday because he thought it was by his side.

The young man wrapped his hand around the incense burner, jumped down, and landed firmly beside Bai Ling, "The incense burner is empty, what incense are you praying for?" I think you're being lazy. ”

Bai Ling laughed, scratching his head as if he was a little embarrassed, "Have you been discovered......

The young man put the incense burner, walked a few steps closer, leaned over and picked up a book, flipped through two pages casually, and said with a smile, "The world is turned upside down outside, and you are still in the mood to sit here and read the book...... It's calm. ”

"Upside down?" Bai Ling tilted his head, "What a world has turned upside down." ”

"What else could it be, it's your master." The young man casually dropped the book and said with a smile, "Earlier you said that you were on an errand in the palace, but I didn't expect you to be on an errand in Qu Guifei's palace, no wonder you are so sharp-tongued." ”

Bai Ling bowed slightly, "My lord has won the prize." ”

"I heard that the day before yesterday, the concubine Niangniang was looking for death again, but you persuaded her to come down from the northwest corner tower......" The young man suddenly lowered his voice, with a curious look on his face, "What did you say at that time?" ”

Looking at each other, the smile on the young man's face faded, and his face was solemn, without the slightest joke.

Bai Ling pondered for a moment, "...... Why do adults want to know this? ”

The boy laughed.

He suddenly remembered that when he was about a young age, his eldest companion who took care of his food and clothing had taught him that if you don't want to answer a question, if you can't talk about it, but you can't ignore it, you ask the other person, "Why do you want to know this?" ”。

After all, questions that can make you hesitate to open up are always not so easy to talk about.

You ask the other person why they want to know, and you throw the question back – and sometimes you can even grab an extra handle in your hand.

Looking at Bai Ling in front of him again, the young man's eyes were also a little more interesting.

He thought for a moment and didn't immediately answer Bai Ling's question, "Then do you want to know what's going on outside now?" ”
