After finishing the meal,
Gu Mu, as usual, called Shen Ling and the lively maid to play cards in the study.
Gu Mu looked at the sky outside the door and said, "Go and boil some hot water for me to take a bath."
The vivacious maidservant, still holding the cards, seemed reluctant to leave.
However, he still explained to Gu Mu with utmost respect, "Your Highness, the kitchen has prepared hot water, you can take a bath at any time."
Gu Mu glanced at the clueless and impetuous maid, wondering how someone with such low intelligence could survive so long in a female-oriented novel: "What I mean is, I want you to personally boil water for me."
Shen Ling, who was about to play a card, gave Gu Mu a cold look.
Gu Mu suddenly realized,
His words seem somewhat like him flirting with his personal maid in front of his wife.
He then hardened his expression and said angrily, "Go now!"
The fierce maid dared not talk back this time.
Even when His Highness had a fit of madness, he wouldn't have gone so far as to kill someone.
Now that His Highness hasn't gone mad, he still likes to kill a few people when he's unhappy.
Especially when His Highness kills someone, the bloodthirsty look in his eyes makes it seem as if killing makes him particularly happy.
The fierce maid stood up, bowed her head, and said meekly, "Yes, this servant will go and prepare it right away."
The vigorous maid had barely stepped out of the study when...
Gu Mu immediately reminded him in a chilling tone, "Close the door."
"Click," the door closed.
It was dark outside.
In the study, there were only Gu Mu and Shen Ling.
After all, it was the Regent's study, and there was even a small bed in the inner room. Everything was ready except for the final touch.
"Ling'er, I don't think we can win this game. How about we play something else fun?" This was the first time Gu Mu had tried to trick the female lead of this world.
Shen Ling put down the cards in her hand and looked at Gu Mu with a puzzled expression.
His Highness had previously said he would tell her something fun, and then taught her how to play Dou Dizhu (a card game).
It's really fun.
However, the look in His Highness's eyes when he said "fun" this time seemed different from the last time.
"Hmm?" Shen Ling's tone was somewhat puzzled.
At this moment, the candlelight in the room was dim, casting two shadows on the wall.
Because of the misalignment, it appears that the two shadows are leaning against each other.
There was a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere in the room.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by 'fun'?" Shen Ling asked slowly in a cool and indifferent tone.
In the dim candlelight, Gu Mu gradually approached Shen Ling.
He stopped when he was only ten centimeters away from her.
With a smile, she asked, "Do you... want to know?"
As Gu Mu moved closer, the shadow on the wall also drew closer.
It looks as if the two people are embracing.
Because of Gu Mu's sudden approach, Shen Ling could feel his breath, soft and gentle.
This feeling made her somewhat uncomfortable.
She subconsciously turned her head away, saying haughtily, "No... I don't want to know."
"Don't you really want to know?" Gu Mu looked at Shen Ling, whose ears turned red instantly, and who turned her head away, leaving only a cute profile, her eyes also glancing elsewhere unnaturally.
I think she's so cute.
Gu Mu suddenly realized that Shen Ling was easily embarrassed, and when she was embarrassed, the roots of her ears would turn red.
It was the same last time in the carriage.
Looking at Shen Ling's slightly unnatural and shy appearance,
Gu Mu's mischievous nature got the better of him, and he wanted to tease Shen Ling.
He got a little closer to Shen Ling.
With her head slightly bowed, she maintained a posture that... made one's heart race.
At this moment, Gu Mu could clearly smell the fragrance in Chen Ling's hair.
Gu Mu lowered his head and looked at Chen Ling's face.
Sure enough, at this moment, a blush gradually crept onto Shen Ling's face.
Fortunately, women in ancient times paid great attention to etiquette.
Chen Ling remained upright, maintaining good posture even though she turned her head slightly to the side.
She didn't move to the side just because she felt shy.
Just then,
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the room.
A boisterous maid's loud voice rang out from outside the door: "Your Highness, the water is ready. Are you going to wash now? If so, I'll pour the water into the bucket right away! If you're going to wash later, I'll keep the water warm on the fire."
...
So fast?
With a displeased expression, Gu Mu shouted angrily at the door, "You boiled the water so quickly?"
You must have some kind of supernatural power.
Gu Mu hasn't even started yet.
Unexpectedly, outside the door, the fierce maid continued in a loud, aggrieved voice, "Because it's getting late, I was afraid Your Highness wouldn't be able to wait, so I put the water that had been boiled but cooled down a little back on the fire to boil it again. I was only thinking of Your Highness!"
Gu Mu rubbed his forehead in frustration.
I don't know why the original owner would leave behind such a dim-witted maid as a personal servant.
Could it be because the original owner was engaging in many secret affairs, and there might be some shady things in the room?
So keeping this silly maidservant would facilitate the original owner's actions?
Gu Mu sighed and once again reminded the impetuous maid, "What I want is water that you boil yourself! The kind where you draw cold water from the well and then personally put it on a fire to boil it!"
"Yes, Your Highness! This servant understands!" the fierce maid said in a rough, aggrieved voice.
Then,
The sound of her footsteps leaving echoed outside the door.
Gu Mu was planning to take it a step further.
Suddenly, Shen Ling placed her hand on his shoulder and asked in a cool tone, "Is the bathwater heated by your personal maid more fragrant?"
