Chapter 361: Never See the Light of Day
If you neither advance nor retreat, your life will be dull.
He looked determined and said, "The human heart is the most unpredictable thing in the world. Commander Lei is now loyal to Your Highness. Can Your Highness guarantee that she will remain loyal to him for the rest of her life?"
"Once she becomes the sole ruler, it will be difficult for you to regain your rights in the future."
"The guards are related to your life and property. All safety and security are concentrated on one person."
"Originally, there were ten commanders in the Eastern Palace, and Your Highness handed them over to her alone. Although this saved me a lot of trouble, Commander Lei's prestige among the guards is no less than yours."
"When she disagrees with you, who will the guards listen to?"
For example, today.
He didn't say this, but Bei Jingchu could sense it.
Smart people are always aware of the big picture and are prepared for danger in times of peace. For some things, as soon as you see the slightest sign, you should suppress it.
She rarely keeps silent.
After a long pause, he asked, "So you want to recommend yourself?"
He knelt down with his back straight, like a young poplar tree about to grow up.
"If I could gain your trust, I would be very lucky."
Bei Jingchu leaned back, her waist resting on the cushion, and suddenly she felt relaxed, with a disturbing numbness in her waist.
She didn't look at the kneeling boy, but looked at the ceiling and asked, "Even if power is divided, why did I choose you?"
He understood what she meant.
The decentralization was already a foregone conclusion, but the figure of the girl sitting alone on the high platform seemed a little lonely under the candlelight.
There was no one around her, and even her closest female attendant was just standing by from a distance.
Perhaps, even if he climbed to the top, the place closest to her, he could not reach her.
Long Shou retracted his fleeting thoughts. What was important now was self-recommendation.
"Your Highness knows that my loyalty to you is greater than life and death. If you are not confident in us, you can divide the power into ten parts to check and balance each other."
"I am not trying to compete with Commander Lei, but I am considering this from your perspective. I will follow your lead in everything."
He kowtowed, but the man remained silent.
Long Shou continued, "If Your Highness wants to save some effort and doesn't want to manage so many people, but doesn't trust that I will always be loyal."
"I can hand the evidence to you for you to use."
Bei Jingchu then became interested, "What handle?"
"Is there anyone you want to kill but cannot? I will find an opportunity to kill him and hand the evidence to you. You can expose and punish me at any time."
Bei Jingchu: “......?”
After being shocked, she did not refuse, and used her remaining conscience to persuade him: "Once you take some wrong paths, you can't turn back."
"If I really ask you to do something shameful, it won't be just one thing. I will use you as a knife later, and you will always be a hidden weapon that can kill people with one blow."
"You will offend many people. If I can no longer protect you, I will push you out to appease the anger of the people. You have no foundation. Apart from believing in me, you have no place to stand."
Bei Jingchu stood up, walked in front of the boy, bent down, and looked at his expression from a close distance.
Very close, her hair slid down, only a finger's distance away. The heartbeat was faintly heard, but there was no place where they touched.
This guy must have dressed up. He must be a nice guy who smells fragrant all day long.
There was that faint, elusive scent of orchids again.
"I will give you the last chance to regret it."
This was her last mercy.
