If a person does a good deed but doesn't let others know, then it's as if they didn't do it at all.
Since he wanted to improve his image and let Shen Ling know that he would let her off the hook and not hold it against her for breaking into his bedchamber at night.
That would definitely make the princess aware that he knew she had entered.
...
The moonlight shone into the room, and a look of disbelief flashed across Shen Ling's face.
But she controlled her expression well and quickly calmed down.
She looked at Gu Mu with a deep, unfathomable gaze, her thoughts unreadable.
She didn't speak up. In this situation, she wasn't in the right, so she could only remain silent and improvise...
Gu Mu smiled, turned over and sat up.
There was not a trace of displeasure on his face.
But Gu Mu's fearsome reputation preceded him; even when he killed, he sometimes did so with a smile.
Although Shen Ling shared a residence with Gu Mu in the Prince's mansion, she had limited time to interact with him and didn't know much about his personality.
Therefore, Shen Ling was unsure of Gu Mu's thoughts and let him hold her hand, waiting for him to continue.
Gu Mu smiled and said to Chen Ling, "Since you're already here..."
Gu Mu's eyes were somewhat cold.
The smile from before vanished completely.
The best approach is to instill fear in someone before letting them go.
But the princess is no simple person either.
She remained with her head tilted to the side, looking at him calmly.
There was not a trace of fear in Shen Ling's eyes...
Death is not necessarily more painful than living.
However, if Your Highness were to order her to die, she would drag Your Highness down to hell with her before she dies.
I don't know why, but this possibility came to mind.
Shen Ling, on the contrary, was somewhat excited.
My heart was beating faster and faster, and my cheeks were flushed slightly.
All of this,
In Gu Mu's eyes, it turned into shyness.
After all, in ancient times, men and women were not supposed to have physical contact. Shen Ling was still a virgin, and he was holding her hand like that. Even though Shen Ling was a tough character, she would still feel shy as a young girl.
only……
Shouldn't a normal shy girl lower her head in embarrassment?
Why... is there... a hint of excitement in Shen Ling's eyes?
"What does Your Highness want to say?" Shen Ling asked in a low voice, "If Your Highness thinks I am trying to harm you by breaking into Your Highness's room at night, then it would not be too much to order my death."
At this point, Shen Ling smiled softly.
The moonlight streamed into the room through the window.
The light shone on Shen Ling.
She was never afraid.
Why give her a second chance at life?
If you die, you won't know anything anymore. Isn't that better?
Reborn, she is reminded every moment of the pain of losing her loved ones and the torment of being torn apart by five horses...
Although in this life, her family is still alive and she is living well, she is not in a dark dungeon.
But... those relatives are no longer the same relatives they used to be.
She had witnessed firsthand the return of her eldest brother's head, the public execution of her father for treason, the poisoning of her mother, and the execution of her second brother...
My second brother is young and promising, well-read and full of knowledge, and hopes to one day serve His Highness.
Yet, he was still executed for treason, his head severed in one stroke, dying with his eyes wide open in disbelief…
She, on the other hand, was accused of plotting to harm His Highness and being the daughter of a traitor. His Highness then proceeded to divorce her, and she was imprisoned, watching her loved ones die one by one… one by one… until finally it was her turn…
What a pity, it wasn't a cup of poison...
In the end, she died a more tragic death than anyone else.
Shen Ling's eyes were dark and mysterious, with a faint smile on her lips.
Gu Mu immediately recognized his expertise.
Shen Ling said everything he wanted to scare him, leaving him speechless for a moment.
"Aren't you afraid of dying?" Gu Mu asked.
Logically speaking, after being reborn, Shen Ling should...
Others might think that it was God giving her a second chance.
She should cherish this life and live it to the fullest.
But it's estimated that the psychological trauma Shen Ling suffered in her previous life was too great...
Her goal is not to tear apart the scumbags and bring her relatives who died unjustly in her previous life to the pinnacle of life.
It's simply about tearing apart scumbags, especially the scumbags.
As for her relatives from her previous life,
Shen Ling cared, but she had already locked her heart away.
Otherwise... she knew that Shen Ci had been exiled to the frontier and might die, yet she remained so calm.
Gu Mu ate the Marrow Cleansing Fruit, putting him one foot in the grave. Even if Shen Ling had to destroy the entire human world, she would still... save Gu Mu and then torture him.
There's a song lyric that goes something like... "Hate is deeper than love"?
Shen Ling is neither afraid of ghosts or gods, nor does he believe in any deities or Buddhas.
Because she never felt that being reborn was a blessing.
...This child is beyond saving.
After asking the question, Gu Mu looked at Shen Ling's still calm expression and sighed silently in his heart.
really--
Shen Ling bit her lip.
There was no fear on his face.
Oscar's acting skills continued to shine as she softly said, "If Your Highness wishes me to die, I have no choice but to die."
However, His Highness will not have an easy time either.
"..." Gu Mu.
In ancient times, however, the principle was that if the ruler wanted his subject to die, the subject had no choice but to die.
However, in today's context, it just sounds a little odd.
For a moment,
He saw a bloodthirsty glint in Shen Ling's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
Gu Mu slowly released his hand.
This wave is about building goodwill.
Then he smiled, his eyebrows curving upwards, and his murderous aura subsided considerably.
