imperial psychologist

Chapter 345 From now on, please advise

The faint morning light is gradually falling from the east, towards this world that is no different from the past.

From the Ci Ning Palace to the Xuanqiong Pagoda, Wei Shisi walked this road countless times by himself. Every stone brick, every branch and vine on the road showed the appearance of summer year after year.

The plants and trees in the palace are revived every year, but the people and things here can never turn back.

Many swallows in the Xuanqiong Pagoda were still resting in their nests, and Wei Shishi's sudden climb in the tower startled many birds.Bo Ling hugged his shoulders tightly, buried his face between his arms, so as not to be scratched by the flying swallows.

The top of the tower is still the same.

Wei Shishi put Bo Ling down.

The flowers in the spring are all gone, and the flower plants are producing lush leaves. Thanks to a few heavy rains in summer, everything here is still full of vitality.

Bo Ling spread out his palms and held the half seals of the two hidden guards at the same time.

The black seal was opaque, but it was as crystal clear as jade. There was a red tassel tied to the top of the seal. She breathed lightly on one end of the seal, and then covered the back of her hand forcefully.

One of them is indeed printed with the upper half of the three characters "Wei Shishi", while the other is the half of Wei, and there is a cursive prefix plus half of "中".

A name quickly appeared in Berlin's mind.

Wei Ying.

It should be Wei Ying—Shisi's master, the secret guard who he insisted had died in the line of duty.

Bo Ling put away Wei Ying's half-print, she took a light breath, and looked up at Shisi in front of her.

Wei Shishi stood there, waiting for her next words.

"Two choices, fourteen."

Bo Ling spread out his palms, and placed the half-seal that belonged to Wei Shishi in front of him.

"From now on, stay by my side completely. Or, you take this half-seal and go to see the emperor after the queen mother passes away." Bo Ling's voice was very soft.

According to the rules of the palace, the normal process is indeed like this.

When the Empress Dowager passed away, the half-seal left in the Compassionate Ning Palace would be sent back to the emperor by the palace people, while the hidden guards waited for their next order.

"To see the emperor, the fate between us will end today."

Bo Ling looked at Fourteen with his usual stubbornness and calmness.

"You are the person who knows me the most in the palace, and if there is a day when you and I fight hand to hand, you will also be the enemy who threatens me the most.

"At that moment, you don't have to show any mercy to me, because I won't show any mercy to you. We each have our own masters... No, I don't have any masters, but I will do it if I risk my life." I won't let anyone stop me."

"But if you want to stay by my side, just like what the Queen Mother just said, we take care of each other..."

Burling took a deep breath.

"Then you have to be ready at all times, ready to give up everything you have gained so far - your fame, your status, all your potential glory in the future... and you may also be with many people who are a hundred times stronger than you and me. For the enemy."

"But I assure you," Bai Ling looked down at the half-print in her hand, her voice lowered slightly, becoming gentle and determined, "As long as I am still alive in this world, you will always have a place by my side. I will regard your reputation and your life as important as mine. On the premise of not hurting me, you can go to the freedom you want at any time."

"Which one do you want to choose?" Bo Ling looked serious, and raised the half-print in his hand a little higher, "Give me the answer now, Fourteen."

Wei Shishi's eyes fell on Bo Ling's palm.

This choice was not difficult for him to make. Perhaps before bringing Boling here, he already had the answer in his heart at the Queen Mother's bedside.

But at this moment, he still looked at the half-print quietly and did not give an answer.

Bo Ling's words more or less touched his heartstrings - during this period of time, he had also thought about this issue faintly, but whenever his thoughts were about to touch the core that required swords to face each other , he would still choose to avoid it.

——You don't have to show me any sympathy, because I won't show any mercy to you.

Berlin first gave the answer.

Even at such a moment, she still chose to remove a layer of shackles from Wei Shishi's body first.

How could Wei Shishi not understand.

He took one last look at the numerous palaces under Xuanqiong Pagoda.

At that time, he was still a "baizi" who didn't understand anything and was caught and offered.

He met his companions here, met the queen mother, met his master, and then grew up here, and also learned the skills to live and work here.

But today, the companions parted ways, and the master died in the line of duty.

The last person holding him back in the palace wall is about to pass away.

Everything seemed, and it really was time to say goodbye.

He gently raised his hand and stretched out towards Bai Ling's palm.

Bai Ling's breathing froze for an instant.

She suddenly became frightened—if the choice Wei Shishi made was to take half of the seal and go back to Emperor Jianxi...

Although this is indeed a lower-risk option for Fourteen, but...

At this moment, Bai Ling instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand, but held back—it was her own choice, and even if she didn't want to face this result, she still had to hand over the final decision to Fourteen hand -

The next moment, Wei Shishi held her hand again.

His hand was so strong that Bo Ling even felt that his hand was a little painful from being held.

She finally understood Fourteen's choice.

"Thank you." Bo Ling replied softly, her voice was very low, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Wei Shishi's voice was still the same as before, and people could not hear the ups and downs. He lowered his head and looked at Bo Ling, "From now on, please advise me."

……

After leaving the palace, Bo Ling went home and slept for a while.

In the morning, she carried a vegetable basket to the street to buy vegetables as usual - although she was going to have a wedding banquet in the evening, she still had to prepare meals for noon.

Bo Ling walked among the crowd, silently recalling everything that happened this morning, and felt that everything seemed unreal.

She looked around, the people on the street were no different from those in the past, people hawked, bargained, yelled, made noise... She knew that Fourteen was now hiding in a corner that she couldn't detect.

Just like countless ordinary days in the past four years.

The crowd became noisy at this moment, and everyone hurriedly evacuated to both sides of the road, and Bai Ling was also knocked aside.

Many people were swearing and shoving, and Bai Ling stood on the stone steps of the shops on both sides of the road. She hugged the porch and looked behind the crowd—many officers and soldiers escorted the ragged civilians, and they walked slowly. Go south of the city.

"What's wrong?" someone asked.

"Catch refugees!" someone replied, "Didn't someone die in the south of the city a few days ago?"

"Hey, it should have been arrested long ago. I can't even sleep well thinking about these people these days."

"Yes, they should all be driven out of the city, how can they be let in."

Listening to their chat, Bo Ling roughly understood what happened in front of him.

Just when she was about to turn her head and leave, she stopped suddenly.

In the team being escorted, a young face she was familiar with appeared.

Bai Ling froze for a moment, she raised her hand and waved at the refugee team in the middle of the road, "Ah Li!?"

The boy turned around in response.

　Thank you for the coolness of the mint, the thinness of the chess paint, and the monthly ticket for Martian rice~
　　Thank you rquall for your daily reward~
