Qu Shi looked at Bai Ling's outstretched hand almost blankly.

Her body seemed to freeze there, not moving for a long time.

She had imagined many times that perhaps there would be a person who, through all the dark fog she could not speak, would finally come to her quagmire and lend her a helping hand.

She dreamed countless times in her dreams, dreaming of someone, and she held her up when she fell into the abyss.

But she didn't expect it to be like this.

Bai Ling's hand was smooth and white, revealing the weakness of a girl.

It's just that she can't figure out why such a young girl can say things like that......

Everyone held their breath and looked at the scene in front of them, only to feel that their hearts were skipping a beat.

Qu opened his mouth several times, as if he wanted to say something, but he was silent.

Death is a choice, but living is an instinct.

She had been struggling for so long, and the outstretched hand was so real—Bai Ling was standing there, almost so close, as if she could rise to the surface with the slightest movement.

"Can I still trust you again......" Qu asked tremblingly.

Qu's inquiry reached everyone's ears.

"Yes." Bai Ling said warmly.

That hand, Qu's hand that let go of the stone wall, finally slowly stretched out towards Bai Ling.

The moment the two of them shook hands, Bai Ling grabbed her almost immediately, and grabbed her tightly.

With all her strength, she pulled Qu to her side.

It was only at this moment that all the servants finally dared to rush to help.

Qu Shi fell on Bai Ling's body, she hugged Bai Ling tightly, her whole face buried in Bai Ling's shoulder, still sobbing silently.

Zheng Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately felt that the heavens and the earth were turned upside down, and the palace maid on the side hurriedly supported her fallen body.

Qu Xiu was pressed to the ground and couldn't speak, and kept looking ahead with his head held high, and when he saw Qu Shi being rescued, he finally cried and lowered his head.

Bao Yuan had already pounced, hugged Qu Shi tightly and cried loudly.

Bai Ling gently patted Qu's back, reached out and pulled the velvet blanket he brought on the side, covering her and Bao Yuan's bodies.

"Don't be afraid, mother." Bai Ling said softly, as if comforting a crying girl.

The clouds were still surging in the sky, and the black clouds were gradually drifting towards the palace, and it was about to rain again.

For everyone, it was like a century had passed.

……

The concubine attempted suicide again.

Returned to Chengqian Palace, a few people helped the concubine into the room, a few people ran to the Tai Hospital to ask the doctor to come and see, Zheng Shu and Bao Yuan accompanied Qu Shi to rest in the room, and the fourteenth escorted Qu Xiu to wait for the holy car in the east wing

Bai Ling sat alone on the wooden chair outside, with a little happiness for the rest of his life, silently watching the rush of the people in the first house.

It's finally a temporary stop.

She sighed slightly in her heart, and suddenly realized how difficult it was for those colleagues who rushed to the front line of crisis intervention.

Once she encountered such a thing, she already felt some near-exhausting tiredness both physically and mentally, let alone make it part of her daily routine.

Maybe it's because I was drenched in the rain a few days ago, and I slept lightly, and today the wind blew on the palace wall, and I felt a little drowsy at this time.

I'm so sleepy.

Bai Ling yawned, but still had to stay on standby—the emperor was not in the palace at the moment, at least until he returned.

The curtain in the middle was opened, and Bao Yuan came out of it with red eyes, holding a small porcelain vase in his hand, and walked straight to Bai Ling and sat down.

"How's the mother?" Bai Ling asked softly.

"I've been blowing on the wall for so long, I'm tired, I'm already asleep by now."

Bao Yuan pulled Bai Ling's left hand and slowly rolled up her sleeve.

Bai Ling looked at Bao Yuan's line of sight a little blankly, only to find that his left arm was full of scratches, and there were a few places where he had scratched badly, obviously his nails had been cut into the flesh, leaving mottled bloody wounds.

The treasure duck touched them lightly, and Bai Ling instinctively retracted his arm, and then he felt a hot pain.

More than pain, Bai Ling was stunned - when did these wounds remain? Why don't you have any impression of yourself......

No wonder I always felt a little itchy on my left hand from just now, and I thought it was a skin allergy, but I didn't expect it......

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Bao Yuan's voice was as soft as a mosquito, and she lowered her head to twist the lid of the small porcelain bottle, "I don't know how I did it so heavily at that time." I'll give you medicine, you bear with me—"

Only then did Bai Ling remember that this was probably the scratch she had had been injured when the treasure duck pounced on her when she first arrived at the palace wall.

She twitched her hand back and smiled, "No, no...... Sister Baoyuan gave me some liquor and asked me to disinfect the wound. ”

This is probably due to Bai Yi's influence - everything that will touch the wound, don't easily apply ointment on it.

After all, in this era, there is neither sterilization treatment nor antiseptic measures, and no one can be sure whether the last thing to be smeared on the wound is a medicine or a bacterial culture agent.

Bao Yuan looked even more sad, and tears fell down her eyes.

Bai Ling lowered his sleeves and said softly, "This is a very precious golden creation medicine, I have a small injury, don't waste it." Don't blame yourself. I know you didn't mean to, everyone was scared at that time, where did you care-"

Before Bai Ling finished speaking, Bao Yuan had already pounced on her and hugged her.

If he only trusted this little girl before, then now, Bao Yuan probably has completely regarded her as his own.

"Fortunately you are here, fortunately you are here......" Bao Yuan choked and whispered, "Fortunately you are here......"

Bai Ling didn't interrupt, just gently patted Bao Yuan's back, "You have worked hard too." ”

Caring for a depressed patient is very hard in itself.

Not to mention doing this as a palace maid.

Zheng Shu also walked out of the inner room at this time - someone came outside, she wanted to take a look.

In the quiet room, only the crying of the treasure duck could be heard at this time. Bai Ling and Zheng Shu looked at each other, neither of them spoke, Zheng Shu smiled bitterly and sighed, and owed to Bai Ling.

Bai Ling smiled in return and watched Zheng Shu go to the courtyard for questioning.

When Bao Yuan's cry gradually subsided, Zheng Shu also returned.

Bao Yuan heard the voice, then turned around, and when he saw that it was Zheng Shu, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?" What do outsiders say? ”

Zheng Shu just made a silent movement, slowly walked to the side of Bao Yuan and Bai Ling, and sat down as well.

"Isn't it already spreading all over the city?" Bao Yuan wiped her tears and asked with some concern.

"Now no one dares to pass it on, there is a new beauty who chewed the root of her tongue at noon, and she has already died of a cane at this time." Zheng Shu said in a low voice, "It was Huang Chongde's personal order, before the saint returned to the palace, those who chewed their tongues in the palace were immediately killed with a cane, regardless of their position or dignity. ”

“……！” Bai Ling and Bao Yuan were shocked in their hearts.

Zheng Shu glanced at the two of them a little tiredly, "How can a beauty have such guts, it wasn't instigated by Lin Jieyu." ”
