"Miss Ma, we will do everything we can to protect you!"
They made this firm decision in their hearts.
So the three men stubbornly tried to persuade the regent with their eloquence.
While they were racking their brains trying to figure out how to persuade His Highness to change his mind,
They didn't know that the last person who stood there with his neck stiff in Gu Mu's study...
People who feel their neck is thicker than others and less likely to slip are...
She was instantly killed by the princess's maid and thrown into the well.
At that moment, the princess was outside the door, eavesdropping.
Zhao Liang, who had been silent until now, took a deep breath under the subtle pressure from the other two and said, "Your Highness, the Princess and Miss Ma are good sisters! The Princess has only imprisoned Miss Ma in the dungeon and has not executed her. She must be thinking of their sisterly bond."
The other two also lit up and quickly chimed in, "That's right, Your Highness. The Princess Consort hasn't executed Miss Ma yet because she's thinking of our sisterly bond. If you were to execute Miss Ma like this, the Princess Consort would be heartbroken."
"Furthermore, the Princess and Miss Ma are very close sisters. How could Miss Ma possibly do anything to harm the Princess?"
The three of them spoke in rapid succession, clearly flustered by Gu Mu's threat to execute Ma Shishi.
But when Gu Mu heard those repeated expressions of sisterly affection,
It just feels ironic.
Whether it's Shen Ling's past life or this life, Ma Shishi is determined to kill Shen Ling.
However, I am not the original owner of this body.
I won't side with Ma Shishi.
That's why she ended up like this.
But unexpectedly, Ma Shishi is a high-level player with impressive skills.
Not only did they raise one fish, Lu Peng, in the fishpond, but they also raised two fish, Zhao Li and Zhao Liang, the brothers.
Of course, Gu Mu didn't know if there were any other fish in Ma Shishi's fishpond.
But among these few, apart from Zhao Li being a bit of a waste, the others are all excellent in terms of family background and their own talents.
But at this moment, they are willing to risk their lives to plead for Ma Shishi.
"Since you keep calling her 'Princess Consort'..." Gu Mu readily agreed.
After all, his system task was to allow Ma Shishi to be released.
It didn't say he was to execute Ma Shishi.
The reward is an amazing loom with everything imaginable!
Gu Mu didn't know the origin of this loom, but based on the previous system mission rewards, it certainly wouldn't be a disappointing item.
Although the items in the system store might be a rip-off.
However, the rewards for system tasks are absolutely generous.
After all, the system is meant to diligently guide Gu Mu onto the villainous path, and the system's mission rewards are meant to entice Gu Mu. If it were to deceive Gu Mu even once...
Goodness!
Gu Mu is no longer going down the villain route.
This goes against the original purpose of the system.
After all, this system exists specifically to create difficulties for the female protagonist's growth in this female-oriented novel.
I don't know what the rewards of this system are or where they come from. Whatever the rewards are, they are inexhaustible and all-encompassing. There is an infinity symbol in the upper right corner.
But are there really any items in the world that can never be used up?
Even water can dry up one day.
However, there are no limits on the number of rewards in this system, leaving Gu Mu no room for hesitation.
But there's no use thinking about it too much.
This bizarre system, and this clichéd female-oriented novel world, could come up with anything to cause trouble.
He paused for a moment.
Gu Mu continued, "Since the victim in this matter is the Princess Consort, I will naturally consider her feelings. If the Princess Consort says to kill Ma Shishi, I will order Ma Shishi's death. If the Princess Consort says to have Ma Shishi cut into a thousand pieces, then I will have her cut into a thousand pieces..."
under,
Lu Peng, Zhao Li, and Zhao Liang, who were kneeling, felt their hearts pounding.
Just thinking about it breaks their hearts.
This is the goddess of their dreams, the pure, lovely, and alluring Miss Ma!
Their purpose in coming here was to spare her from imprisonment. They didn't want to see the beautiful woman looking so pitiful, and how could they bear to let her die?
But the emperor's command is hard to disobey.
In this society where imperial power reigns supreme
As the ruler of the Southern Dynasty, Gu Mu was a man of his word.
When they heard Gu Mu utter those harsh words, their hearts clenched, both frightened and heartbroken...
Outside the door,
In a shadow,
Shen Ling, dressed in white, stood there.
She has an ethereal quality.
In addition, her indifferent and aloof face,
She seemed otherworldly.
But she smiled gently, with a touch of warmth and humanity in her voice: "Your Highness, that's quite strange."
She turned slightly.
After leaving Gu Mu's study, he walked towards his own Snowfall Courtyard.
The moment Shen Ling stepped out of the shadows, sunlight shone upon her.
She looked radiant and beautiful.
"Your Highness, the Princess... the Princess couldn't possibly be so heartless," Zhao Li said tremblingly.
heartless?
The princess would only think that dying like this was too easy.
This was also what Gu Mu was certain of.
This explains why, even if he wanted to execute Ma Shishi, the Princess Consort would definitely spare her life.
Just like that day in the carriage, he only ordered people to lock Ma Shishi in the dungeon, but did not order Ma Shishi to be killed.
You have to torture them slowly.
Gu Mu couldn't quite understand this idea, but he knew that for some people with deep-seated obsessions, living was about fulfilling those obsessions.
If an obsession can never be fulfilled, or if it is fulfilled too easily...
