"Imperial Physician, you're done here. You may leave," Gu Mu instructed the imperial physician.
Since the imperial physicians could not diagnose the illness, then Shen Ling's weakness must simply be due to the parchment scroll, without any other external injuries.
As for the bloodstains on her sleeves, which obscured their original color,
This blood wasn't hers either; it came from the parchment scroll.
Therefore, since the imperial physician was in the way, Gu Mu simply let him go.
After the imperial physician left, besides Gu Mu and Shen Ling, only Youyou and Luming remained in the room.
The unseen assassins, under Gu Mu's orders, were to stay by Ma Shishi's side in the dungeon at all times.
Although the assassin was a system reward given to Gu Mu,
However, the two cannot communicate through consciousness.
Perhaps because assassins have no emotions.
So Gu Mu could only say, "Lu Ming, go to the dungeon and have the assassin bring Ma Shishi over."
At Hua Man Lou, Gu Mu originally intended to kill Ma Shishi, but because of this strange system, in order to maintain the normal operation of the female-oriented novel world, he was bribed with 300 points and did not immediately execute Ma Shishi.
However, this does not guarantee that Gu Mu will spare Ma Shishi.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Lu Ming was very efficient; he quickly contacted the assassins and brought Ma Shishi into the room.
"Greetings, Your Highness..." Ma Shishi knelt on the ground, head bowed, her hair falling down to cover the side of her face with a wound.
Her expression seemed much calmer.
She finally saw it clearly...
His Highness has no affection for her whatsoever.
The sweet words of the past have vanished like smoke.
At this moment, His Highness only wanted to kill her.
For some reason, when she truly understood and fully accepted this fact, Ma Shishi's expression became remarkably calm.
She was even able to lift her head, reveal a slight smile, and respectfully greet the princess on the bed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Fearless gaze
A charming smile
They even seemed somewhat innocent.
Gu Mu merely glanced at her coldly. Since the system wanted to keep her around, it meant that Ma Shishi's character was very important to the plot of this world.
However, he wouldn't just let those three hundred points go.
Then let's use the princess's hand to execute Ma Shishi.
After all, Shen Ling was harmed by Ma Shishi in her previous life, so letting Shen Ling personally kill Ma Shishi in this life can be considered as settling some of her obsessions.
Shen Ling lay on the bed, the bed curtains hanging down.
Through the hazy gauze curtains, she couldn't clearly see the scene outside the bed.
All she knew was that Ma Shishi was kneeling in front of her bed, while His Highness sat beside her bed, and she could only see His Highness's expressionless and even somewhat indifferent profile.
...Shen Ling's mind was in a bit of a mess right now.
This scene was far beyond her expectations.
Originally, she saw His Highness at the Flower Pavilion, ordering Ma Shishi, who was using the alias "Miss Lan," and she thought...
His Highness's statement in the prison that day about executing Ma Shishi was just an act.
Because the parchment scroll told her that His Highness knew her secret, her greatest secret being her rebirth, she assumed that His Highness knew the secret of her rebirth.
So His Highness knew she wanted revenge, and the reason he hadn't acted for so long was to torture them, which is why he deliberately said he would execute Ma Shishi immediately.
In reality, it was to get Shen Ling's relatives to release Ma Shishi.
Furthermore, because they vented their anger in prison, they wouldn't resort to underhanded tactics behind people's backs.
It's like trading a face for a life.
When she witnessed Hua Manlou's scene, she always felt that His Highness's love for Ma Shishi was profound, and even though Ma Shishi was disfigured, His Highness still stayed by her side...
But now... what's going on here?
His Highness did not spend a pleasant night with Ma Shishi at the Flower Pavilion.
Instead, the entire capital city was searching for him.
He carried her back to the palace from outside the city.
Now, Ma Shishi is kneeling before his bed like a stray dog.
If Your Highness truly loves Ma Shishi...
You could completely ignore yourself and let yourself fend for yourself.
In fact, if His Highness knew the secret of her rebirth, he could simply kill himself, and then nothing would happen.
But... after she was reborn, His Highness never did anything particularly bad to her...
Regarding Ma Shishi
He never showed any mercy.
Does His Highness no longer love Ma Shishi?
Shen Ling thought of how the Regent was completely infatuated with Ma Shishi in her past life, and she found it unbelievable...
In her past life, wasn't Ma Shishi able to act arrogantly and even tear her apart by five horses entirely because of the prince's favor?
Why hasn't she made a move yet after being reborn into this life?
Has His Highness already defeated Ma Shishi?
If it's because in her past life she always wore a veil and was considered ugly...
The butterfly effect caused by revealing her stunningly beautiful face in this life.
But I've never seen His Highness spend the night in her courtyard!
In an instant, Shen Ling's thoughts became complicated...
But she's always been good at controlling her facial expressions.
No one could tell that in the blink of an eye, she had already experienced so much inner turmoil.
And he didn't even flinch.
“I can only control the influence of the parchment scrolls, but I cannot completely eliminate them,” Gu Mu said in a low voice. “Once the deal is reached, it must be executed. At least for now, there is no way to defy the deal.”
"It's hungry, let it eat a person, and the deal is done."
"So, I have brought the person to you."
Gu Mu was referring to Ma Shishi, who was kneeling in front of Shen Ling's bed.
