“When I was very young, I had the honor of meeting Your Majesty once. At that time, I was deeply fascinated by Your Majesty. I firmly believe that this is the will of Heaven, and Your Majesty is my true Son of Heaven.”
“But… even when His Majesty was still a prince, when choosing consorts or concubines, or even when His Majesty ascended the throne and held a selection process, he would not choose an orphan like me.”
Su Linle's eyes were red.
I've fallen for someone, but our family backgrounds don't match, so it's something I can only admire from afar.
"At that time, I was just a study companion in the young lady's family. Only someone with a background like the young lady could be worthy of becoming someone by His Majesty's side."
"But I'm not willing to accept this..." Su Linle looked up at Gu Mu: "If you like someone, shouldn't you try your best to be with them?"
"So... I left the young lady and started looking for a chance to turn my life around. I found a famous teacher, studied medicine diligently, and constantly improved myself."
"I have survived countless near-death experiences and endured much hardship. Finally, I can appear by His Majesty's side as an imperial physician and see His Majesty every day."
"I thought I could finally find my own love."
"But I never expected that His Majesty only had eyes for the Empress. Even though I put in so much effort, I was still destined to be apart from His Majesty."
A tear slid down Su Linle's cheek.
"After thinking about it, I realized that if things continue like this, His Majesty will never know I exist. I should let His Majesty get to know me and what kind of person I am. Maybe after he gets to know me, His Majesty will come to like me?"
Gu Mu did not respond, letting Su Linle talk to herself.
Although he had no expression, his heart was filled with complex emotions.
In his past life, he was just an ordinary person who had never been liked so much.
A beauty like Su Linle is probably someone you can only admire from afar, and wouldn't even dare to pursue.
Because a stunningly beautiful woman like him will inevitably have many suitors—richer than him, more handsome than him, more interesting than him, more considerate than him…
How could it possibly be his turn?
Instead of wasting time and effort, it's better to understand the outcome from the beginning and give up.
But Gu Mu never expected that in this life, he would be liked so much even though he did nothing.
Unbeknownst to him, there was someone silently giving their all in a place he couldn't see.
It seems that Su Linle's entire life, and all her efforts to become so outstanding, had only one purpose: to be with Gu Mu.
Even though she became outstanding enough and stood in a position that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of.
She still didn't get everything she wanted.
How could Su Linle not be saddened by this?
She sighed, her eyes brimming with tears. She had been holding back for so long: "I feel that even if I stand by His Majesty's side, I can't just do nothing. I need to make His Majesty notice me."
"So it was I who poisoned His Majesty. I only hoped to have a chance to get close to His Majesty, so that he would remember what I looked like and gradually get to know me..."
"I didn't really want to think about it that much. I thought that as long as I waited, I would eventually get the chance for His Majesty to fall ill. After all, what mortal can avoid all illnesses, even the slightest bit of typhoid fever?"
"But I have waited so long, and instead of His Majesty summoning me, I have only witnessed His Majesty and the Empress's relationship growing stronger day by day."
"As for helping Shen Chao with his work..." Su Linle raised her head: "Shen Chao and I have the same goal, which is that neither of us wants Your Majesty to be with the Empress."
“I am confident that I can rescue His Majesty when Shen Chao rebels…” Su Linle thought to herself, a smile appearing on her lips: “Perhaps at that time, His Majesty will be grateful for my saving his life and stay with me?”
"After all, I'm not bad... I should deserve to be liked, right?"
"Besides, His Majesty wasn't His Majesty back then, and he didn't need other women around him. Maybe I could have lived a blissful life with His Majesty."
“I dress as a woman to make house calls every day to support the family. Your Majesty can do what you like. We are just like ordinary people, eating three meals a day, day and night…”
"Sigh..." Su Linle sighed.
The most desperate thing was that she had worked hard and reached a position that she felt was close to Gu Mu.
But she could only watch Gu Mu with other people.
That's what made her act impulsively today.
"Your Majesty, if you insist on my death, could you please kill me with your own hands?" Su Linle smiled faintly, wiping away her tears. "After all, it seems my entire life has been a mistake, but even if it was a mistake, I am willing..."
"Your Majesty... only wishes to settle this mistake personally."
I am just
