Baoxing walked in front in silence, listening to her crying loudly, without saying a word.

When she reached the foot of the mountain and sat in the carriage, she stopped crying loudly, but she still cried silently.

"Baoxing, aren't you sad?" She looked at Baoxing who was driving the car seriously and asked hoarsely.

"What's sad?"

"Mrs., she..."

"Did you say the Queen Mother is about to die?"

"You..." Guo Ning didn't expect him to say so bluntly.

Baoxing looked ahead and said indifferently: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. What can I do to make a fuss? The Queen Mother will die, I will die, and you will die."

Guo Ning frowned and looked at him: "What are you saying?"

"Tell me the truth. Since anyone can die, what's there to be sad? What can I do if I live for a few more years?" Baoxing said indifferently.

Guo Ning was stunned and stopped talking.

Forgot to cry.

If you think about it carefully, what Baoxing said makes sense.

She is almost fifty now, and it would be meaningless to live a few more years.

Why not be so overwhelmed because others left a few years earlier than her?

But people have feelings after all. Even if they understand rationally, they will die. They are still unacceptable to feelings.

Guo Ning was even more unacceptable to Baoxing's calmness and calmness.

"You have been with the Queen Mother for so many years and said that she is your most important person. As a result, you are not sad at all, which shows that you are getting colder and colder." Guo Ning whispered.

Baoxing's expression remained unchanged and he didn't care about Guo Ning's words at all.

Listening to the sound of the carriage wheels pressing on the road, Guo Ning was stunned when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Baoxing, do you have any plans in the future?"

“No plans.”

"You said you would serve the Queen Mother for the rest of your life. But now... what will you do when the Queen Mother leaves?"

"You don't have to worry about this."

Baoxing is very cold.

Guo Ning sighed, hugged his knees, and stared out the window in a daze, "You said you would follow the Queen Mother for the rest of your life, so I thought about it. But if the Queen Mother walked in front of you, where can you go alone? You can't go back to the palace again."

He is not young anymore. After so many years, the palace is no longer familiar to him.

Guo Ning had been struggling for a long time, but still couldn't help saying, "Baoxing, you said you wanted to accompany the Empress Dowager before, and I had nothing to say. But if the Empress Dowager really walked in front of you, you... come to my place. Let's be a companion so that you won't be miserable in your old age, which is also good."

Baoxing drove the carriage and laughed silently without responding to her.

Guo Ning asked: "Give me a reply."

"Let's talk about it later."

After her repeated questions, Baoxing gave her an ambiguous answer.

Even so, Guo Ning felt relieved.

After all, his attitude is no longer as tough and indifferent as before.

In the following time, they each fell silent.

The carriage was parked at the entrance of Yunji headquarters. Guo Ning got off the carriage, looked back at Baoxing, and whispered: "You must take good care of the Queen Mother."

"I know. Goodbye, take care of yourself."

Baoxing withdrew his gaze, held the reins in both hands, and swung it gently, and the horse kicked and stepped away with the carriage.

Guo Ning stared blankly as he stood there, looking at the direction of the carriage leaving, his heart was filled with great sadness and loss, and he felt that life was impermanent and that it was really meaningless to live.
