There was also blood spreading on the ground.
And, the bloodstained spear in Gu Mu's hand,
Shen Ling knew that things were not as simple as Gu Mu had made them out to be.
He had just experienced a life-or-death battle.
Even in public, Shen Ling disregarded her shyness and pulled Gu Mu up and down to check him thoroughly. When she saw that Gu Mu had no wounds and the bloodstains belonged to someone else, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, looking at Gu Mu, she said earnestly, "Your Majesty, if a similar situation arises again, you cannot abandon me to face it alone."
Gritting her teeth, Chen Ling emphasized, "I have said before, I am willing to live and die with Your Majesty."
"Okay." A warm feeling spread through Gu Mu's heart.
What merit or ability did he possess to have a goddess-like woman willing to give her life for him and bind her entire life to him?
Under the moonlight
Two figures stood embracing each other.
The night breeze was cool, but people's hearts were warm.
Su Linle arrived just then.
I witnessed this scene.
She immediately slipped behind a tree and watched all this with envious eyes.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." She clenched her fists, trying to comfort herself.
Gu Mu knew that someone had approached while he and Shen Ling were embracing.
But... he knew who she was.
He never had those kinds of feelings for Su Linle.
The only reason they kept Su Linle alive was because she didn't seem to have any intention of killing them.
Most importantly, Su Linle is a highly skilled doctor.
If Gu Mu wants to develop the Southern Kingdom, he must wage war year after year, since plunder is the fastest way to increase national strength.
It's not that he doesn't care about the common people.
Instead, he wielded the system, endless hybrid rice and penicillin, and a magical loom...
In the future, various rewards may be drawn from the system.
Under his leadership, all people will live better lives.
As for the soldiers who will die in the war... it can only be said that some sacrifices are necessary for a better future and to realize Gu Mu's ambitions.
Different stances.
But the world is inherently a cycle of unity followed by division, and division followed by unity.
War is inevitable.
Even if Gu Mu doesn't start a war, someone else will.
Gu Mu naturally wanted to seize this opportunity. Moreover, war was the fastest way for Gu Mu to accumulate villain points and merits.
Therefore, in war, Su Linle's superb medical skills could come in very handy.
At the very least, it could save the lives of more soldiers from the South.
This is why Gu Mu knew that Su Linle did not intend to keep Su Linle alive after his death.
Because she has the ability.
As a monarch, one can be more tolerant of those who have power.
As for liking someone... that's impossible in this lifetime.
Gu Mu only needs Chen Ling.
"Ling'er." Even knowing that Su Linle was watching from behind a tree, Gu Mu still touched the back of Shen Ling's head and gently kissed her lips.
"I love you," Gu Mu said softly.
This was the first time he had confessed his feelings to Shen Ling.
Shen Ling gave a soft "hmm," and replied somewhat shyly, "Your Majesty... me too..."
Su Linle, who was hiding behind the tree, clenched his fists even tighter.
Suddenly, tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.
If only His Majesty had said those words to her...
She gritted her teeth, trying not to cry out or make a sound.
Looking at the idyllic couple not far away... I'm so envious... Su Linle thought to herself.
