Chapter 59: Twists and Turns
Bai Ling's heartbeat also accelerated slightly.
This is probably a standard crisis intervention scene.
Of course, she always does well with standard patients, but what does it do in practice......
Bai Ling had to readjust his breathing to calm himself down first.
The hoarse cry was Bao Yuan's, and she knelt not far away, unable to pronounce the words as clearly as usual.
Her crying retention, as soon as the wind blew it, dispersed to no one could understand it.
The wind blew across Qu's cheeks, picking up her somewhat disheveled hair.
The corner tower was full of onlookers, looking at the scene in front of them.
The concubine of the Great Zhou Dynasty has committed suicide repeatedly, and has repeatedly attempted, and the previous dynasty is discussing this matter, who doesn't know the name of this "Qu family".
But it was the first time to really see a lady sitting on this high wall, and everyone felt very fresh.
Bao Yuan also heard the noise behind her, and she unconsciously turned around, and saw Bai Ling getting off Wei Shixi's back.
"! Empress! Miss Boling is here, didn't you say you wanted to see her tonight? She's coming, talk to her again! Bao Yuan shouted in a muffled voice.
Qu Shi turned around, and sure enough, he saw Bai Ling walking this way.
"If she jumps down in a moment, do you have a way to catch her halfway through?" Bai Ling lowered his voice and pursed his lips to Wei Shishi on the side.
"Unlikely." Wei Shixi said softly, "It's okay if it's in the palace, it's too high here, and there is no place outside the wall to focus on." β
Bai Ling feigned a casual glance at the scene below the city.
The earth under it slammed into the ground, and the people were not as big as ants.
"You go and disperse all the idle people, especially don't leave anyone watching." Bai Ling whispered to Wei Shishi, "Several intersections are sealed, don't let people go." β
"It's okay to disperse, but it's not realistic to close the road." Wei Shixi said in a low voice, "I'll see how long it can be delayed." β
After a while, the surroundings gradually fell silent, and only the wind whistled high above.
Bai Ling stepped forward and opened the cloth bag in her hand - Bao Yuan recognized at a glance that it was something she personally gave to Bai Ling yesterday.
Qu Shi looked at Bai Ling intently, and the edge in his eyes gradually became clear.
When Bai Ling was still six or seven steps away from her, she snapped, "Don't come again." β
Bai Ling did not move again, but stood there.
The two looked at each other.
"Are you worried, scared?" Qu spoke first.
Bai Ling thought for a moment and nodded.
Qu's gaze slowly left, and his voice gradually became colder, "...... Of course you're afraid, if I jump from here, your family's life will be over.
Qu Shi looked at the sky-high city wall under his feet and muttered, "But my Qu family is the same, so I owe you nothing." β
She looked back at Bai Ling, her eyes were cold, "I gave you a chance, but you don't want to ...... yourself"
After these few words, Bao Yuan was so frightened that she forgot to cry, and she looked at the gloomy woman in front of her in a dazeβthere was no trace of the concubine she knew on that face.
Bai Ling took a deep breath.
The wind blows into the eyes from above, making the eyes sour.
Is this problem again? There's no time left to dwell on it......
"Honestly...... Bai Ling said slowly, her eyes clear, "although this is not what I hoped, if Niang Niang really died, my family would not really die because of this." β
Qu Shi sneered, "Do you think I'll believe this?" I know the emperor too well......"
Bai Ling shook his head, "Niangniang, I checked the law of the Great Zhou before I agreed to enter the palace, the so-called punishment is not a doctor, not to mention that my father is a doctor in the Tai Hospital, and it is common for doctors to be powerless to return to heaven." Even if the saint wants my family's life, Dali Temple will not agree, the Criminal Department will not agree, and the Manchu Dynasty officials will not agree. There were similar cases in the previous dynasty, at most, my family was exiled to Mobei and was never allowed to return to Beijing. β
Qu Shi and Bao Yuan's faces showed surprise at the same time, and they didn't know how to react.
No one expected that Bai Ling would suddenly say such a thing.
"So," Bai Ling said in a deep voice, "I have always wanted to discuss with you whether or not to end my own life, which is both my value judgment and professional judgment.
"I won't use my mother's nostalgia for life to control you. At this point, please believe me. β
Bai Ling said in a very calm voice.
Silent.
Bai Ling looked at Qu Shi in front of him, and saw all kinds of complex and deep emotions flowing in her eyes in an instant.
Her sorrow, her hatred, her timidity, her resentment...... Every moment of change was captured in Bai Ling's eyes.
"That's the case...... Qu Shi slowly lowered his gaze and sighed very lightly.
In that way, it was like a person finally letting go of the big stone hanging in his heart.
Bao Yuan was so frightened that she almost cried to death, she knelt down and pounced on Bai Ling, and grabbed her arm tightly, "Don't say this at this time!" Please don't say any more!! β
The sound is very low, but very clear.
Bai Ling frowned, but she didn't break away from Bao Yuan's hand, she just stared at Qu Shi, and continued, "Niangniang, I came today for two things. β
Qu Shi turned around again, and saw Bai Ling leaning over to open the cloth bag in her hand, and she pulled up the two corners of the large velvet blanket and shook it open.
"One is to send a blanket to the mother to keep out the cold...... You gave it to me yesterday. When you are sick, you still remember my hard work of praying incense outside, which shows that you trust and cherish me...... I am grateful for this trust. It's windy here, do you want to wear it first? β
Bai Ling was so sincere that Qu suddenly had a sour nose.
She watched as Bai Ling rolled the corner of the blanket into a bunch, leaned forward, and motioned for herself to pick it up.
Qu Shi smiled and shook his head.
The wind is cold, but it is sobering, it makes people shudder, and makes the perception of "living" clearer than ever.
It's as if when you know you're about to lose it all, even the pain that has been haunting you for a long time will suddenly become a little strangely cute.
Bai Ling did not force it, but spread the blanket on the ground, sat down on his knees, and opened his mouth softly.
"The second thing, I want to tell my mother, what my mother said to me in the past two days, every sentence, I think I understand."
Qu Shi also looked at Bai Ling.
The girl said she understood.
At such a young age, of course she won't really understand......
But Qu suddenly realized that the impression he had when he first met Bai Ling was correct.
This girl is different from many people.
At least, when she looks at you, she's really listening to you.
"I heard Sister Bao Yuan say just now, you want to see me," Bai Ling looked at the concubine as usual, "Then we can talk now, okay?" β
Qu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then his body slightly turned in the direction of Bai Ling.
Just as she was about to speak, several people heard an excited shout in the distance at the same time.
"Moon Shadowββ!! Moon Shadow ββ!! β
It was a male voice that bordered on roaring, a male voice that everyone present was very familiar with.
