Despite not being able to control his own body,
Gu Mu was also thinking about what to do next.
He's still 34 points short... It's a pity he can't communicate with the assassins using his consciousness, otherwise he could order them to kill a few people to increase his points.
This can't go on.
As the pain subsided, Gu Mu paused, attempting to regain control of his body.
Half an incense stick later.
Gu Mu finally opened his eyes a little bit.
He squinted, scanning his surroundings as thoroughly as possible.
There was no one around, only a few maids guarding the door.
Shen Ling is a person who likes peace and quiet. Apart from Youyou and Luming, who have served her since childhood, she generally does not allow others to enter.
Gu Mu took a deep breath.
He kept his eyes half-closed.
He could feel his bones cracking inch by inch.
But he must control his own body.
Stand up, kill a few people, and get the remaining 34 points to exchange for the last Marrow Cleansing Fruit.
...
While Gu Mu struggled to regain control of his body, the princess did not return all night.
The Prime Minister's Residence.
In a dark room in the princess's former room.
Shen Ling huddled in the cramped underground space, holding a candle in her hand.
I flipped through a yellowed parchment scroll.
The first scroll reads: "This method is evil; the user will be eternally condemned to hell."
Shen Ling remained calm as she looked at a secret method for saving lives.
Originally, this parchment scroll did not belong to this human world.
It is because Shen Ling has been reborn and returned.
But she discovered that the parchment scroll had somehow ended up on her person as well.
...This parchment scroll exudes blood and evil.
So Shenling buried it in the deepest part of this secret chamber, a place known only to her and to no other living person.
Now, she was turning the pages of the parchment scroll.
She remembered that there was an evil secret technique inside that could bring the dying back to life.
Shen Ling didn't take the opening sentence of the parchment scroll to heart.
"Hell...?"
"Your Highness should also come and take a look."
Having been reborn, she no longer felt that she was in the human world.
If it's not the human world, then what could it be?
A slight smile played on Shen Ling's lips.
Use hellish methods to save His Highness, then personally send Him to hell.
Just thinking about it is exciting...
At dawn, the first rays of sunlight shone into the room.
Gu Mu moved his hand slightly.
At the same time, it is accompanied by people who are heartbroken.
This marrow cleansing... has a really strong aftereffect.
But Gu Mu suddenly stopped moving.
Because he heard footsteps outside the room door.
Although Gu Mu's eyes were half-closed, he had only opened them a crack, so he still looked like he was unconscious.
However, he could see the surrounding scenery through this crack.
Shen Ling leaned down slightly and checked his pulse again: "Has Your Highness not woken up yet?"
She was asking the maid who was guarding the door.
"Your Highness, we found no other movement inside the room," the maid replied respectfully.
That's right. His Highness is on the verge of death, so how could he possibly wake up from a deep sleep?
She was just confused because she was too concerned.
Shen Ling's icy hand probed Gu Mu's pulse, feeling his heartbeat, which was very weak.
It's like a dying person with one foot already in the underworld.
Youyou brought over a bowl of medicine.
Then they retreated.
The door creaked shut.
Only Gu Mu and Shen Ling remained in the room.
The spoon struck the bowl again, making a crisp sound.
Blow cool air on it.
Then it was put into Gu Mu's mouth.
...
A moment later, Shen Ling placed the empty bowl on the table.
She hasn't left yet.
I sat quietly on the edge of the bed.
Gu Mu could feel Shen Ling's gaze on his face.
However, from his angle, he could only see the lower half of Shen Ling's face.
"Your Highness..." Shen Ling smiled softly, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.
"You really are completely at my mercy."
"But I refuse to kill you now..."
He paused, stunned.
Shen Ling's smile remained somewhat stiff.
Although it was a smile, there was a hint of sadness in it.
"The hardest thing is actually losing everything little by little..."
So she completely shut the door on her heart.
Because everything we possess, in the end, is lost.
Everything is an illusion.
Loss is what lasts forever.
When Shen Ling understood this truth, she could never return to the human world.
...
Soon, Shen Ling smiled again.
Tuck the blanket around Gu Mu.
"Your Highness, you deserve everything..."
Only in this way will the future be painful enough.
"It's a pity about this medicine—" Shen Ling sighed softly.
At this moment, Gu Mu began to listen attentively.
There was nothing he could do; the princess had been rambling on and on, making his heart sink.
However, he was very curious about the effects of the medicine.
This medicine should be the same as the flower petals that melted in my mouth before, only these flower petals should be more precious and have a better effect.
However, they can indeed relieve the pain of cracked bones in the body.
Unfortunately, Shen Ling did not explain the effects of the medicine in detail.
It's just the way—
"This medicine cannot save Your Highness; it can only temporarily prevent your death."
? ? ?
It seems the effect is not as good as the Resurrection Pill, of course, not referring to this special moment of marrow cleansing.
It sounds like this medicine is only temporarily keeping him alive.
