Chapter 361 Never seen the light of day
If you neither advance nor retreat, your life will be dull.
He said with a firm look, "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 you for the rest of her life?"
"Once she becomes the sole ruler, it will be difficult for you to regain your power in the future."
"The Imperial Guards are related to your Highness's life and property. All safety and security depends on one person."
"Originally, there were ten commanders in the Eastern Palace, and Your Highness handed them over to her alone. Although this saved her a lot of trouble, Commander Lei's prestige among the guards is no less than yours."
"When she disagrees with you, who will the Imperial 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 was seldom silent.
After a long while, he asked, "So you want to recommend yourself?"
He knelt down with his back straight, like a young poplar 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 we share power, why should I choose you?"
He understood what she meant.
The decentralization of power is already a foregone conclusion, but the figure of the girl sitting alone on the high platform looks a little lonely under the candlelight.
There was no one around her, and her closest female attendant was just guarding her 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. The important thing now was to recommend himself.
"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 it 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, doesn't want to manage so many people, and 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 is the handle?"
"Is there anyone you want to kill but cannot execute? I will find an opportunity to assassinate 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 in the future. You will always be a hidden weapon that never sees the light of day and kills 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 to the boy, bent down, and looked at his expression closely.
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 good man who smells fragrant all day long.
There was that faint, elusive scent of orchids again.
"I will give you one last chance to regret."
This was her last mercy.
