Chapter 4602: It Was Once Difficult to Overcome the Difficulties

Guo Ning's mind was in turmoil, so he simply got up, put on his clothes, opened the door and came outside.

A gust of wind blew, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Although it is summer, the nights in the mountains are actually chilly.

Guo Ning wrapped up his clothes and strolled to the yard. He looked up at the big tree in the yard. There were faint squirrels walking through the tree.

There were footsteps.

A lantern approaches.

"Why do not you sleep?"

It was Baoxing's voice.

Guo Ning felt relieved and said with a smile: "Maybe I recognized the bed and couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk. Why didn't you sleep either?"

"I'll go out and make a inspection to see if the doors everywhere are closed."

"There are many guards outside, are you still worried?"

"I'm used to it." Bao Xing held the lantern, his voice a little hazy, "Those guards were brought by His Majesty. When we were outside before, there were not so many guards."

Guo Ning was surprised: "So His Majesty is here too?"

"Your Majesty has always been filial."

"Yes." Guo Ning nodded and sighed, "The Queen Mother is really lucky."

"That's what the Queen Mother taught me well."

"You're right." Guo Ning smiled and sat on the stone bench. "Speaking of which, you have worked very hard these years. In the past, in the palace, you were the eunuch in charge, and you had many people to deal with."

"I don't think it's good." Bao Xing said, "I like life outside, ten times a hundred times better than in the palace."

"Yes, no matter how nice the palace is, how can it compare to the freedom outside." Guo Ning patted the table, "Sit down and talk for a while?"

Bao Xing shook his head: "I have to go to bed, and I have to get up early tomorrow. Madam Guo also goes to bed early."

He took the lantern and left.

Guo Ning was silent for a moment and said quietly: "You hate me so much and don't want to say another word to me?"

Baoxing paused and said calmly: "Ms. Guo may have misunderstood something. Haven't we already talked about it between you and me?"

"Yes, even if they are just ordinary friends, is there anything wrong with sitting together and talking?"

"It's okay to talk, it's just that it's late at night."

"You seem to be in good health. You won't have to go to bed late, right?"

Baoxing thought for a moment and said, "Okay then."

He returned and sat on the stool opposite Guo Ning, his expression gentle and silent.

Guo Ning picked up a fallen leaf and said with a smile: "It's so nice in the mountains."

"It's nice to be away from the world."

"Brother Ruiquan..."

"Ms. Guo, please call me Baoxing. The name Qin Ruiquan has nothing to do with me. I'm not used to it and I don't like that name."

"...Okay." Guo Ning smiled, "Actually, why do you insist on a title? If you do this, it will appear that you care."

Baoxing said nothing.

Guo Ning said: "That man..."

"Which man?"

"The man next to the Queen Mother." Guo Ning hesitated, "When I saw him today, I always felt a little familiar. Does he really look like the late emperor?"

"Yes."

"Why does he always wear a mask?"

"Ms. Guo, that's a matter for the masters. As a slave, I won't interfere. You ask too many questions." Bao Xing said calmly.

Guo Ning smiled and said: "If you don't tell me, that's it. I just feel puzzled. The Queen Mother and the late Emperor had such a good relationship back then, but now... Well, it used to be difficult to make water in the sea."

Baoxing looked calm and said nothing.

Guo Ning also fell silent.

Birds fluttered overhead.
