Gu Mu could feel that Shen Ling was lying obediently in his arms.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, clearly indicating that she was enduring intense pain.
However, she clenched her teeth and endured it, and even though her jaw turned white, she did not make a sound.
Gu Mu tightened his grip on Shen Ling's arm.
They hurried towards the Prince's Mansion.
Shen Ling was placed on the bed; the doctor had not yet arrived.
Shen Ling was covered in blood, which continued to spread down her sleeves.
Gu Mu couldn't figure out what was going on.
In his opinion, Shen Ling may have suffered serious external injuries.
The rest of Shen Ling's clothes were not stained with blood, except for two sleeves, which were soaked in blood and covered up their original color.
So Gu Mu carefully lifted Chen Ling's sleeve to check her external injuries.
In Gu Mu's view, if he could save 30 points from exchanging for a Resurrection Pill, he would save 30 points.
Therefore, he prioritized checking Shen Ling's injuries.
He does the same to himself, never wasting points.
However, when he lifted Shen Ling's sleeve, although her arm was also stained with blood, there were no visible external injuries.
That blood wasn't hers.
Inside Chen Ling's sleeve was a parchment scroll that looked extremely unsettling at first glance.
The blood... was seeping from the parchment scroll.
Gu Mu was about to get the parchment scroll when
Shen Ling reached out and pinched a corner of the parchment scroll, whispering softly, "Don't... move..."
"You will be used by...it..."
Shen Ling reminded him.
She accidentally fell for the trick of the parchment scroll, which is why she ended up like this.
The parchment scrolls were designed to make deals with humans through such despicable means, and then enhance their own evil power by using humans to hunt for them.
If His Highness is also used by the parchment scroll...
Your Highness is no ordinary person...
With His Highness's power, the consequences he causes are far greater than those of ordinary people.
She absolutely cannot allow His Highness to be used by the parchment scroll.
But... she was too weak; even the hand gripping the corner of the parchment scroll felt light and frail, and she couldn't muster any strength.
Gu Mu stared coldly at the parchment scroll.
While he was unconscious, he wondered why the princess suddenly knew of a way to save people using the spirits of the dead.
At that time, he suspected that the princess only knew this in this lifetime.
Now we see this parchment scroll...
Even if he couldn't see the contents clearly, Gu Mu knew that it was probably related to the parchment scroll in front of him.
Even Shen Ling's sudden transformation to this night is probably related to the parchment scroll.
Even if the princess doesn't let him see,
Gu Mu used a little force to pull the parchment back from Chen Ling's hand.
At this moment, the parchment scroll still displayed the contents it had previously shown to Chen Ling: "His Highness knows your secret."
After reading the parchment scroll, Gu Mu basically guessed the cause of the matter.
The parchment scrolls contain special secret techniques, including the method Shen Ling used to save Gu Mu using the spirits of the dead.
If this parchment scroll turned Shen Ling into this state, then some kind of exchange must have been reached between them.
After all, the parchment scroll had been around Shen Ling for some time now, and even when Shen Ling tried to use the secret method on the parchment scroll to save Gu Mu, nothing unusual happened.
That can only mean... that Shen Ling used some kind of secret technique from the parchment scroll, or... that strange line of text.
"Your Highness knows your secret..."
After the parchment scroll appeared in Gu Mu's hands, the line of text kept blurring and disappearing, as if the content on it was about to change.
In a short moment,
A new line of text appeared above:
"The person who gave Ma Shishi advice behind her back was Zhang Banxian."
Sure enough, there was something wrong with that line of text...
Gu Mu's expression changed after seeing the change in that line of text, which confirmed his guess.
The princess became like this because she saw that line of text...
He also saw this line of text...
"Your Highness..." Shen Ling half-opened her eyes, a trace of weariness appearing in her beautiful eyes: "There's a problem... Give it to me..."
Shen Ling laboriously raised her hand.
He took the parchment scroll from Gu Mu's hand.
But when he saw the new line of text on the parchment, his pupils contracted sharply.
Based on Shen Ling's experience, this is not invalid information!
His Highness has also been infected!!!
really……
A faint, extremely evil voice echoed in Gu Mu's mind.
The voice sounded like a mix of an old man's and a child's, whispering in an extremely chilling tone, "Hungry...hungry...eating people..."
"Hungry...hungry...can eat people..."
Then,
Gu Mu's soul seemed to experience a convulsive pain.
"The imperial physician has arrived!"
The servant outside the door shouted.
Having already received instructions from Gu Mu, the servants immediately opened the door to let the imperial physician in after reporting the situation.
Gu Mu could feel that the voice in his mind was still very weak and could not affect him for the time being.
But it seemed... this sound grew louder and louder in his mind... until finally, like the princess, he couldn't hold on and fainted.
"You should examine the princess first," Gu Mu ordered.
Although it is already known that the princess's current situation is caused by the parchment scroll.
However, just in case there are any other discomforts, it would be best to have the imperial physician examine you.
Youyou and Luming followed the imperial physician in and took care of the princess personally.
This is a prince's residence, so it's very safe.
Therefore, Gu Mu decided to leave the room temporarily and think of a way to deal with the voice of the parchment scroll in his mind.
"It's alright, don't worry, let the imperial physician take a look at you." Gu Mu patted Shen Ling's hand to comfort her.
"Your Highness..." Shen Ling was too weak at the moment.
When a person is weak, they often look somewhat different from their usual strong self.
His Highness has also been infected... A hint of worry appeared in Shen Ling's eyes.
She had initially thought that the message on the parchment scroll, saying that His Highness had discovered her secret, was directed at her and was invalid for His Highness.
So it doesn't matter if Your Highness sees that message.
Unexpectedly, the parchment scroll, which was originally updated once a day with very punctuality, would quickly be updated with a new line of text after it reached Gu Mu's hands.
This directly forced His Highness to make a deal with it.
Shen Ling clutched the parchment scroll, thinking to herself that even if the fire couldn't burn it, she would find another way to destroy it.
This is something that shouldn't exist in the human world at all!
What Shen Ling didn't expect was that the parchment scroll she so deeply loathed and wished she could destroy immediately...
His Highness and she were both affected.
But His Highness remained calm, and even came over and gently patted the back of her hand as if to comfort her...
...and then took the parchment scroll from her hand again.
They were taken away from the entire room.
