Chapter 240 Fourteen's Problem

Bai Ling couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

If there is really someone behind the scenes who lured her here tonight, then what kind of plan is this person planning?

The other party opened up a confusing gap in Lin Jieyu's life experience to him, was he expecting her to find the fishy smell and continue to bite, so that he could use a knife to kill this woman, or was he hoping that she would feel sorry for her and show mercy to this woman?
Or don't ask for anything, just let yourself see the absurdity of this worldly affairs?

Bo Ling didn't know if the woman in Chuxiu Palace was aware of it, but in one night, the fire at Donglin Temple had changed her from a knife to a fish - people can tolerate a woman from a humble background accidentally gaining power , but will never tolerate a potential force with unknown background living in the palace.

Bo Ling was suddenly curious, what would be Emperor Jianxi's attitude towards Lin Jieyu now?

When he finds out that this woman's seemingly vivid face is nothing more than a fancy mask, will he still love and pamper her as always, and pamper her to the end?
……

The two entered the palace through Shenwumen, and returned the horse to the guards on duty.

Bo Ling stretched her arms while walking, looked up at the moon, and suddenly realized that tomorrow is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and it is time to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to see the Queen Mother again.

She raised her head and told Fourteen that there was no need to show up at Chengqian Palace tomorrow morning, just wait for her to deal with the matter at hand and go out.

Wei Shishi nodded in response.

"How old was Fourteen when he entered the palace?" Bo Ling asked suddenly.

"It says five years old on the paper." Wei Shisi said softly.

"How old was Jianxi?"

"27 years." When he answered, he still looked ahead, and there was no ups and downs in his voice.

"That 23th year is..." Bo Ling calculated, "[-]?"

"Maybe, I'm not very clear about my own real birthday. The eunuch estimated my five-year-old age." Wei Shishi looked at Bo Ling, "Why do you ask this?"

"I just want to count how long you've been here." Bo Ling replied softly, "When you feel that life feels like a year later, you can think about how long you've been here for 18 years... It's somewhat of a comfort."

Wei Shishi laughed softly, and said after a long time, "...But I don't live like a year."

Bo Ling was a little surprised, "Have you never felt this way before?"

Wei Shisi said softly, "There are many rules in the palace, but it's better to be here than outside."

After all, as if for emphasis, he added, "Much better."

Bo Ling looked at Wei Shishi's face—he said this very sincerely, without any pretentiousness.

In fact, this is what Wei Shishi said from the bottom of his heart. The queen mother and master Wei Ying were the first two lights in his life. They taught him how to live like a person in this world.

From the white boy that everyone regards as a different kind in the mountains, to the hidden guard that everyone respects and fears in this palace, he doesn't know whether to say whether God is too cruel or favors him, but he at least understands one thing ——As it is today, living a life of freedom under the rules is already the happiness of a few people.

Taking over the task of protecting Bai Ling four years ago was the first time he left the Palace of Compassion and Peace for a long time, and set his sights on people outside the palace.

He looked at the life of this girl and her family, sometimes he found it interesting, and sometimes he felt puzzled.To a certain extent, this filled his imagination of secular life—a life that was trivial, complicated, full of trivial matters and inexplicable disputes that he had never experienced.

Certain moments they were sweet, but there were more that troubled him.

While watching, Wei Shishi further confirmed that the kind of life ideals that people pursue in this secular society are not attractive to him. If there is no accident, he will try his best to control his life to continue the master Wei Ying’s trajectory—he honed his skills all his life, and finally died in an unexpected mission. He walked away quietly, except for a few clothes and a few swords. He came and went naked without any worries.

Seeing Bai Ling's confused expression, Wei Shishi whispered, "My situation is simpler than yours. I just need to solve the problem, and I don't need to think about who I am solving the problem for."

Bai Ling slowed down a bit, "Do you really not have to think about who you are solving for?"

"Well." Wei Shishi replied, "Because the answer to this one has long been known. As long as the queen mother is still in this world, my mission will continue for a day. I have inherited the mantle of my master, and I will continue His unfinished business."

Bo Ling looked at Wei Shishi, probably because during this period of time, everything was colliding intensively, so she felt that she knew more about Shishi in this month than in the past four years combined.

It is true that she made herself more tired than Wei Shishi, but she still felt that Shishi's situation was very dangerous.

There is nothing wrong with a tool man sharpening his own sharpness to the extreme, but the problem is that it is too much a test of one's luck to hand over oneself as a sword to others.

Fourteen met the Queen Mother, Wei Ying, and himself in the first half of his life, so what if he met Lin Jieyu or Mrs. Qu in the second half of his life?

"If I asked you to kill someone now, would you go too?" Bo Ling asked.

Under the moonlight, Wei Shishi took off his hood, his eyes were lightly silver-gray, "You just need to tell me that person's name."

Bai Ling shook his head, "That's just an analogy...Let me put it another way, if tomorrow the queen mother assigns you to another person, but that person asks you to kill me, what will you do?"

Wei Shishi's movements froze for a moment.

"Of course, if there is such a day," Bo Ling smiled, and quickly continued, "I will try my best to put myself in a place where people fear me so much that I have to save my life, so that you don't get too excited. Dilemma...but it's a possible dilemma, right?"

Wei Shishi did not answer.

The two continued to walk forward, Bo Ling looked up at the moon, and muttered to himself as if no one else was there, "People sometimes overestimate their own will... I believe that some things can't be done with a hard heart. Some When I really made up my mind to do it, the backbone of my life will be broken. However, if one day, we really come to that kind of dilemma, it will probably be a kind of indestructibility..."

"Burling."

Wei Shishi interrupted Bo Ling, who suddenly stopped and stood there.

"Huh?" Bo Ling turned around and found that Wei Shishi's expression was unprecedentedly serious. She was slightly taken aback, and quickly put away the leisurely expression on her face, "What's wrong?"

Wei Shishi looked at the girl in front of him, unable to describe his mood for a while.He had to admit that he was taken aback by Berlin's casual assumption.

Thinking about it carefully, it is by no means impossible—if someone is really determined to kill Bo Ling, instead of finding a way to confront him, it is better to transfer him directly through the emperor, or even like As Bo Ling said, he directly ordered him to swing his knife at each other.

At that time, did he really have the option to refuse?
"What's wrong with you...?" Bo Ling approached with some concern.

Wei Shishi took a deep breath, he shook his head, and said softly, "...you are really hard on me, Bo Ling."
