Chapter 2583: Human instinct

Yun Dai nodded, watched him go out, frowning in thought.

Tsing Yi came in with a tray, and said softly, "Niang, it's time to drink

medicine."

Yun Dai picked up the bowl, took a sip, looked around, and asked, "Where's

Baoxing, why haven't you seen it?"

"Bao Xing... is still kneeling outside."

"Didn't I ask him to get up, really, who do you play with stubbornness? Call

him in."

"Yes." Tsing Yi went out hurriedly and called Bao Xing in.

Baoxing was kneeling on a hard gravel road, and his knees were numb and

painful. If time passed, one of his knees would be broken.

In the past, many palace ladies and eunuchs in the former palace, because of

this, their legs fell problems, and the pain was unbearable when the cold

weather came. This is the case with Liu Dequan next to the emperor.

Yun Dai became a queen, treated people generously, and rarely punished people

on her knees at will. This situation improved.

Bao Xing stumbled in, pale and sweaty.

Yun Dai asked Tsing Yi to carry a stool for him to sit on, and twist a towel

to wipe his face.

Yun Dai slowly drank the medicine, and when he finished drinking, he saw that

he was slowing down. Then she said, "Bao Xing, you are here to save me, but

not to harm me. How could I blame you? You kneeled down. Who will protect me

when I go out later?"

"The slave is crushed by the empress, and he will not hesitate."

"Say these idioms less."

"The slave is convicted."

"Where do you sin. It bothers you the most. Knowing you are loyal, you don't

have to apologize with death at every turn. The emperor didn't punish you."

Bao Xing glanced at the gauze wrapped around her forehead, with a look of

guilt: "The slave shouldn't push the empress away, the slave should block the

arrow by himself. Make sure the empress is not hurt at all."

"Baoxing, do you know what people's instincts are when they encounter danger?"

"The minion doesn't know."

"Human instinct is to protect yourself first. This has nothing to do with any

moral issues, it is an instinctive reaction." Yun Dai said, "It's like when a

person drowns, he instinctively grabs everything around him. Sometimes he even

saves himself. People are dragged into the water. This is not his badness, but

the instinct of human self-protection."

Both Baoxing and Tsing Yi were stunned.

"So," Yundai concluded, "it is not easy to think about and protect the safety

of people around you in a critical moment. In such a short time, how can you

think that I will hit the table next to me? Not to mention the two evils,

whichever is less. Compared to being shot by an arrow, I would rather hit the

table."

Bao Xing shook his head: "The minion should block the arrow."

"Okay, next time you must remember to use your body to block the arrows. After

death, everything will be empty. No one will protect me next time."

"..." Bao Xing was silent for a moment, "The slave is dead, and others will

continue to protect the empress."

"Then you can live a good life?" Yun Dai waved her hand, "Go back to your own

room, apply some medicine, and lie down to rest. You don't have to come and

wait for these two days."

After Baoxing thanked him, he walked out slowly.

Yun Dai shook her head: "It's a dead brain."

Tsing Yi pursed her mouth and smiled: "That is to say, the empress is so

tolerant, if she is another master, it is strange that her head is knocked

like this, and she does not get angry. You also comfort Baoxing. You are about

to finish the medicine in the bowl and it should be cold."

Yun Dai frowned and took a sip.

"Too bad."

"Come on, Niangniang tasted this, made with honey beans." Tsing Yi stuffed a

piece of salted peach meat.

Yun Dai ate it and said with a smile: "It's delicious. With the craft of honey

beans, if we go out to open a restaurant, we won't make a fortune?"
