Ma Shishi slowly walked up to Gu Mu, knelt on the ground, and performed a deep bow.
Her voice was cold, devoid of any emotion: "Thank you... Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness... for sparing my life."
Inside the dark prison cell,
Ma Shishi's face was obscure and ambiguous.
Her face was covered in blood, and she numbly allowed the jailers to lead her out of the dungeon.
She's free now, but what awaits her?
Gu Mu observed Ma Shishi's performance.
A strange feeling suddenly welled up inside me...
Has Ma Shishi turned evil?
As the saying goes, turning evil makes you three times stronger.
Ma Shishi really seems to have a "white-on-black" vibe... If she used to be all tea and flirtatious, it was other girls who were being flirtatious, and other "young talents" who were being cuckolded.
You see, Ma Shishi really wanted to marry Gu Mu. Although she had a lot of fish in her pond, she had plenty of tricks up her sleeve. Maybe it was an admiring look, or a word of encouragement... that made those young talents fall head over heels for her.
She went to great lengths to please Gu Mu.
But now, her face was indifferent, and her eyes had lost their original sparkle.
The look in Gu Mu's eyes was like that of an ancient well.
She walked past Gu Mu, heading towards the blinding ray of sunlight ahead.
He slowly walked out of the dungeon.
Gu Mu's system task was to allow Ma Shishi's plea to be released, but it didn't specify whether it was Lu Peng's request or Shen Ling's request.
The system reward arrived in Gu Mu's account the moment he uttered the word "okay".
Gu Mu glanced at the looms in his inventory, which had everything imaginable, but the system didn't explain the item's attributes or functions.
Previously, penicillin was actually more effective than in Gu Mu's time, but it was unclear what aspects had been improved. Gu Mu only came to this conclusion after observing the effects of penicillin on the soldiers.
Gu Mu couldn't directly find out the effects of this magical loom from his inventory.
To find out what this amazing loom does, he had to go and see it for himself.
"Since the Princess has already ordered Ma Shishi's execution, let's return to the manor," Gu Mu said coldly.
If Ma Shishi is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing, then there's nothing that can be done about it.
But in any case, as the regent, he couldn't possibly be intimidated by a group of girls.
In fact, his greatest enemy is not the neighboring country that is eyeing him covetously, nor the big fish lurking in the capital, but the will of this world.
Back at the mansion, in the study.
The door that Gu Mu had damaged had already been replaced with a new one.
The unseen assassins were still guarding the door. Gu Mu closed the door and stayed alone in the study.
He took the magical loom from the system taskbar.
In an instant, a huge loom appeared before Gu Mu's eyes.
Gu Mu had little experience with weaving, but after studying it, he learned how to use it.
This amazing loom is so easy to operate that even people with no experience can quickly get the hang of it.
This amazing loom must be a modified version of the Jenny Loom.
It relies on human labor, but it can weave cloth more efficiently and quickly.
Only now did Gu Mu realize that the rewards of the system tasks were things he had seen or heard of in his previous life, but with improvements on their functions to better suit their current use.
Such an amazing reward... I can only say, no wonder it's a female-oriented novel?
Gu Mu did not intend to distribute the magical looms directly to the people and let them put them into production, just like he did with hybrid rice.
after all--
The bait thrown out by Hidden City was penicillin, which is a strategic resource.
Distributing a small number to the citizens of the Hidden City will not have a significant impact.
However, this small amount of penicillin alone is not enough to cause people to flock to it.
Gu Mu wanted to make Hidden City a faith, to drive people mad... Only in this way, when the Lord of Hidden City said he wanted to kill the Regent, would Shen Ling devote most of his energy to dealing with Hidden City.
Now, the magical loom is a new lure.
If the magical loom can only be bought in the Hidden City, and only citizens of the Hidden City can purchase it in the main city.
That……
The double temptation will undoubtedly stir up a huge storm.
It's anyone's guess who will win the last entry permit.
It is now known that the heartless widow Xiao Su has one piece. She must have reached some kind of agreement with the money shop and Qingjian Mountain to obtain the other two fragments from them.
And in the Hidden City,
In order to prevent Lu Xiaoyao from taking away the city entry token from her, she agreed to exchange it for one thousand taels of gold.
The other entry permit is in Lu Xiaoyao's hands.
Although it's unclear how she obtained the city entry permit, judging from her attempt to directly seize Xiao Su's permit...
She is not as soft and vulnerable as she appears.
The last entry permit... there is currently no indication of whether or not to allow the recipient to enter the city.
However, the two city entry tokens that have already been issued have likely already caused some undercurrents in the martial arts world.
Gu Mu put the magical loom back into his inventory.
midnight.
Gu Mu sensed movement on the roof again.
Because of his excellent hearing and perception, he was woken up again.
He had his eyes half-closed, and with the dim light, he looked like he was asleep and hadn't woken up yet.
But then I could see the roof.
A tile from the roof directly opposite the bed had been pulled off.
...The Prince's mansion has always been heavily guarded.
Especially after Gu Mu became regent, very few people were allowed to enter and leave the palace at will.
Even if there really is such a master, it's unlikely that Gu Mu would discover him so easily.
His lightness skill is good, making him a master, but not among the very top tier.
As for this expertly prying at his roof, and then just happened to pry off the tile directly opposite his bed...
Gu Mu felt there was only one possibility.
That means the princess was peeping at him again, prying at him from under the roof.
Anyway, the princess couldn't possibly kill him, so Gu Mujing observed the situation, continued to pretend to be asleep, and wanted to see what tricks the princess would play.
Sure enough, after peeking at the roof for a while, the princess put the tiles back.
Is it really just as simple as spying?
However, the next second, Gu Mu felt a slight movement from the window.
Someone tried to open his window, but did so very carefully for fear of waking him.
Finally, the window was opened.
A figure dressed in black entered Gu Mu's room.
Even dressed in night clothes, you can tell that her figure is absolutely stunning.
Even in a jet-black night outfit, her aloof and detached demeanor remained undiminished.
All I can say is that beautiful women look good in anything.
Even if you were wearing a burlap sack, you would still look good.
...
After entering the room, Shen Ling went straight to Gu Mu's bedside and looked down at him.
She habitually tilted her head, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes that were both dark and puzzled.
She looked at Gu Mu quietly.
After a long pause, he reached out and touched Gu Mu's bed...
