Rumo tried his best to suppress the urge to tremble. He placed the iron box filled with tiny silver needles on the table, and then carefully opened the second layer of the iron box. This layer was also filled with silver needles thinner than a hair, and seemed to be no different from the layer above.
Rumo took out a thin needle from the middle grid of the second layer and slowly inserted it into Xue Wu's third finger.
Xue Wu burst into tears. These were physiological tears that no one could control.
He bit his tongue in so much pain that it drew blood. The strong smell of blood filled his mouth. His stomach was churning and he couldn't stop vomiting. The filth he vomited splashed directly onto Ru Mo's clothes on his chest.
The unpleasant smell of half-digested food accompanied by stomach acid made Shangguan Xu retch.
Shangguan Xu covered his nose, suppressing his nausea, and said, "I can't stand it anymore, Rumo, you will stay here alone and carry out the execution. When you are done, just return to Changqiu Palace and report to me."
Rumo turned around and saluted Shangguan Xu very respectfully. Shangguan Xu was so disgusted that he didn't even have time to look at him and fled from Yuehua Palace.
When only Rumo, Xue Wu, and Xue Wu's attendant Zhu Ye were left in the room, Rumo quickly pulled the silver needle out of Xue Wu's fingertip and said, "Zhu Ye, untie your master."
When Xue Wu was being tortured just now, Zhu Ye was crying heart-wrenchingly. Now he suddenly heard Rumo telling him to untie the rope on Xue Wu. He was stunned there for a moment, completely confused about what was going on.
Xue Wu also didn't understand why Rumo let him go.
Ru Mo walked around behind Xue Wu and used the knife in his hand to cut the knot. "You have harmed too many people and your life will be shortened. I believe in karma, so I don't want to help the side prince persecute you. The third silver needle I inserted into you will induce vomiting. The side prince is a precious person. Seeing such a dirty scene as you vomiting, he will definitely leave."
Xue Wu was in excruciating pain just now, but the miraculous thing was that as soon as the three silver needles were pulled out of his fingertips, he didn't feel any pain at all. If there were no traces of tears on his face and Ru Mo's body still emitting the smell of vomit, he would even think that the torture just now was an illusion.
Xue Wu asked in a hoarse voice, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Ru Mo said, "Not yet. But if I need your help in the future, I hope you will be as kind as you were today."
Xue Wu solemnly bowed to Rumo. He agreed to Rumo's request on the surface, but he could only smile bitterly in his heart.
His life was over. Rumo had done him a favor today and spared him, but he was destined to have no way to repay Rumo.
…
East Palace.
Guangming Hall.
"Your Highness, Imperial Physician Chu is outside the door and wants to see you."
Ling Shumo put down the book in her hand, quite surprised, "What could he want to see me for? Let him in."
Outside the door.
Chu Changying's heart was pounding.
He had already taken the infatuation pill given by the system. The system said that the pill's effect only affected Ling Shumo.
The system also said that the effect of the Soul-Stirring Pills was not like that of aphrodisiacs, which made the person who took the drug feel hot and unable to control his desires, but it made Ling Shumo's feelings for him slowly warm up.
Seeing Chu Changying so nervous he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet, the system comforted him, "If you are Ling Shumo's mother's murderer, she hates you to the core. Even if you take this pill, she won't have any interest in you. This pill will only work if you and Ling Shumo have a good relationship. It only serves to warm up the relationship. She's still in love with you..."
While the system was chattering away, Chu Changying had already been brought to Ling Shumo's desk by the servants. He was upset by what the system said, "Shut up, you're making so much noise."
The system is quiet as a chicken.
The system is very aggrieved.
The host is fierce to it again.
Chu Changying was about to speak when Ling Shumo said, "Sit down. You can tell me anything."
Back in Zhongdu, Chu Changying developed a drug to treat the plague, and Ling Shumo thought he was a promising talent.
Later, when she learned that Chu Changying was dressed as a woman, Ling Shumo's tolerance towards him increased sharply.
Regardless of gender.
But they appreciate each other.
I can empathize with you.
Chu Changying's current situation is exactly the same as her situation back then.
In her previous life, she was imprisoned in a deep mansion, so when she saw Chu Changying, she couldn't help but hold an umbrella for him, as if this could help her once helpless self.
Ling Shumo was not originally so sentimental, but for some reason, when she met Chu Changying today, she couldn't help but think about her past life.
Chu Changying felt that Ling Shumo looked at him strangely. Ever since Ling Shumo exposed the truth that he was a man disguised as a woman, there was always a kind of vague pity when she looked at him.
Ling Shumo was looking at him with that strange look again. He couldn't guess what Ling Shumo was thinking, but he knew that the effect of the Soul-Stirring Pills had begun to take effect.
Today was very magical for Ling Shumo.
Chu Changying came to her to talk about the Imperial Hospital. She and Chu Changying originally got along quite well, but as they chatted, somehow they ended up talking about bed.
Ling Shumo looked at the clothes scattered all over the floor, then looked at the charming Chu Changying opposite her, and she fell into a long silence.
Losing one's virginity is a serious matter for the men here, but Chu Changying didn't feel anything. Instead, the system residing in his brain was unusually excited. "Host, take advantage of the fact that the princess's favorability towards you has increased and mention Xue Wu to her. Song Shiying is truly heartless. She must be punished for betraying the sincerity of others, especially for betraying both you and Xue Wu. "
Chu Changying didn't bring up anything about Xue Wu. Now wasn't the best time yet. "System, how much favorability can I get from Ling Shumo by selling myself today?"
The system said, "You gained two points of favorability last time you treated the disease, and this time you gained a total of twelve points. You spent the two points last time, so you currently have ten points of favorability left."
Chu Changying exchanged ten points of favorability for ten gold coins, then opened the mall on the system page. He browsed through it carefully from beginning to end, and finally chose to use ten gold coins to buy the improved rice seeds.
