Chapter 474 The Swallow of Freedom
That night, all the hidden guards who had been lurking near the Boling courtyard were all removed.

Bo Ling didn't even explicitly state such a request, but casually mentioned that when he changed his clothes a few times, he felt that there was a line of sight nearby, but he looked carefully to see if there was any figure.

I have been hungry for too long, and I have hallucinations.

Chen Yicong's face was gloomy when he heard this - he even specifically told the hidden guards watching nearby, just keep an eye on the exit of the small courtyard, and never sneak into the house, especially the girls' rooms.

In the evening, although Chen Yicong still wanted to stay and continue to have dinner with Bo Ling, he left too many things during the day.

Bo Ling asked him when he would come tomorrow, and Chen Yicong just wanted to answer that he didn't want to leave tonight at all.

"How about it," Bai Ling said seeing that Chen Yicong hadn't spoken for a long time, "I'm really tired today too... I'll wake up tomorrow morning and go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

"Okay." Chen Yicong nodded, and after a while, he replied, "Okay, okay."

"Then today... that's it?"

"En." Chen Yicong nodded again.

Bo Ling lowered his head and smiled, "Zhao Qi, light up the lantern and send the emperor out."

……

Late at night, Bo Ling squatted in the backyard, washing his hands repeatedly.

She went back to the room alone, finished the ink alone, put the paper on the table by herself, and started to write letters.

If Wei Ying can't take her away tonight, then she can at least entrust this eccentric old master to deliver the letter to Fourteen.

On this winter night, Bo Ling pressed the stove with his left hand and the pen with his right hand, writing slowly.

Over the past seven years, the bits and pieces that I have experienced together with Shishi slowly surfaced in my mind.

At the beginning, I was sincerely happy for the freedom after Fourteenth, but at the end of writing, tears fell drop by drop on the paper.

In the end, it will be parted under such circumstances, which is really unexpected for her.

Bai Ling imagined his life after Fourteenth, and suddenly felt once again that he seemed to be in a huge and intertwined fate.

There have been so many people around her, and so many things have happened.

Sometimes others are like bows, and oneself are arrows—riding the tension of other people's lives, and flying to the unknown farther away.

And tonight, she will also become a longbow, casting Fourteen's fate far away.

"Has Xiao Siyao finished crying?" A voice suddenly asked in the air, "We can leave after crying."

Bo Ling was startled and quickly wiped away his tears.

"Wait... I need to get something."

……

From the prison to the dark ditch outside Baihuaya, Bai Ling didn't know how Wei Ying brought Shisi out.

But when she really saw Fourteen lying under a pile of straw and still unconscious, she could no longer think about this question.

Bai Ling stepped forward quickly and leaned over to push away a few straws that blocked Fourteen's face, her teeth trembling involuntarily.

Although Wei Ying had already told her that Shisi was seriously injured, Bai Ling never imagined that Shisi's injury was so severe.

She could hardly recognize Wei Shishi in front of her.

Tonight, Wei Shishi's high fever persisted, his hair fell loose again, and he couldn't see the slightest trace of his former charm.

The wound on his body was bandaged very simply, and the bandage was stained with blood.

All the exposed skin was hot.

"Fourteen...fourteen..."

Bai Ling went to shake his hand somewhat at a loss.

"Can you hear me? Fourteen...you open your eyes and look at me... Fourteen..."

Wei Shishi was lying on the straw pile of the cart, frowning slightly, as if he heard Bai Ling's voice, but he never opened his eyes.

Bo Ling turned his head and looked at Wei Ying, "Is he still alive?"

Wei Ying had a stern expression, "It's fate."

"Sister Bailing," A Li frowned in the darkness and said, "If you don't leave, the changing of the guard at the sewage outlet will have to wait two hours later. There are many nights and dreams. Let's not delay, shall we?"

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and nodded again and again. She quickly stuffed the letter in Wei Shishi's waist, and stood aside, holding back tears.

Ah Li and several other young people stepped forward one after another, spreading straw all over Wei Shishi's body again.

They made a gesture to Berlin, which means "rest assured".

These children who grew up near Baihuaya quickly disappeared into the night like a drop of water melting into the sea.

Bo Ling watched their backs going away, and tears fell down again.

In the dead of night, she couldn't cry out, so Bai Ling lowered her head and bit her wrist hard.

"Bo Siyao seems to be very distressed for my disciple." Wei Ying whispered from the side, "Actually, you still have a choice."

With some confusion, Bo Ling turned his head to look at Wei Ying who was nearby.

"You can go with Fourteen tonight." Wei Ying said expressionlessly, and he also looked at Bo Ling.

Bai Ling burst into tears and shook his head vigorously.

"You are outside the palace right now. If you want to leave, the old man can take you to catch up with them immediately."

"I can not……"

"Why?" Wei Ying's eyes were slightly cold, "He just left like this, can you rest assured?"

Bo Ling still shook his head, "Bo Yi and my father...are still in prison, I can't...leave them alone."

Wei Ying smiled mockingly.

"So you just leave Fourteen behind? The promises that Xiao Siyao made before the Empress Dowager's bed, such as taking care of each other, don't let go... are really all lies."

Bo Ling glanced at Wei Ying in surprise.

She suddenly had some guesses about why Wei Ying suddenly wanted to take her out of the palace to see Fourteen tonight, and now she said such things again.

"Master Wei... would you like to see me leave with Fourteen tonight?"

Wei Ying didn't answer.

Bo Ling lowered her eyes and tried her best to calm her breath. She looked at Wei Ying again.

"I don't know what happened between you and the Queen Mother back then..." Bo Ling's voice trembled, "But today, I absolutely cannot go with Fourteen."

"why?"

"Because...if I go with him, he'll come back."

Wei Ying showed a puzzled expression.

"...He will definitely come back and continue to rescue Bai Yi and my father." Bai Ling's voice was almost squeezed through his teeth.

Wei Ying was even more puzzled, "Why? He's not the secret guard of Bai Yi and your father."

Bai Ling's patience had almost reached its limit, she lowered her head, and bit her wrist again.

"Because... I will definitely come back."

Wei Ying finally understood, he let out a soft breath.

"Forget it." Wei Ying whispered, "Let's go back."

……

That night, the scooter carrying Wei Shishi set off from the starting point in Berlin that had been planned for three years. After several rounds on the way, it finally drove slowly towards the west of Dazhou.

On the third morning, Wei Shishi woke up in the carriage.

Open your eyes, the faint morning light is pouring from the cracks in the car windows, the unfamiliar roof, the shaking carriage...

Wei Shishi blinked his eyes in a daze, then suddenly realized something, and sat up suddenly.

There was severe pain in his abdomen, and he lowered his head with a grim expression—forgetting that he was still injured.

At his waist, he saw a letter.

On the envelope was Berlin's handwriting, which briefly read:

fourteen relatives
