Shen Ling did not ask Gu Mu why he wanted her to buy medicine for him personally.
She didn't even ask Gu Mu why he saved her.
However, after Gu Mu rejected the guard's suggestion to stay in Jiangnan instead of returning to the capital,...
Shen Ling revealed that dazzling smile.
—At least, the people of Jiangnan need Your Highness.
—At least, in Jiangnan, she will not lay a hand on His Highness, nor will she allow anyone else to lay a hand on His Highness.
She was someone who had already died once.
Therefore, the well-being of all people is still more important.
The moon is out.
Following the path they took.
A layer of cold white luster was left on the bluestone slab.
Gu Mu looked at Shen Ling, who tilted her head and smiled at him.
This moment is a rare moment of peace.
midnight.
Gu Mu was awakened by the noises beside his bed.
He was horrified to discover that his emotionless, hidden assassin, whom no one could see, was actually trying to sneak into her bed.
"Your Highness," the assassin said expressionlessly, his voice devoid of emotion, "the Princess Consort has secretly gone out."
……oh.
I just wanted to wake him up.
Gu Mu found it very difficult to adapt to the strange and unusual plots that often occur in female-oriented novels.
It can be described as severe acclimatization problems.
Gu Mu deliberately calmed his expression: "Next time you wake me up, just yell it out. There's no need to lie on my bed and whisper in my ear."
"yes."
etc……
Gu Mu suddenly noticed what the assassin had said: the princess had gone out in the middle of the night.
You know, Lu Ming hasn't returned yet, and an assassination attempt just happened. Those people obviously won't give up. What is the princess doing going out now?
Because of the strange behavior of the assassin just now, Gu Mu thought of a serious possibility—
Is this going to be a classic hero rescuing a damsel in distress?
No way, no way, no way.
"I'll go take a look." Gu Mu put on his python robe and was about to walk out.
But suddenly they heard footsteps coming from the roof.
He quickly lay back down on the bed, covered himself with the blanket, and pretended to sleep.
With his eyes half-closed, he kept an eye on the movements on the roof.
Sure enough, a tile was ripped off the roof.
A head half-covered is looking down.
Seeing that Gu Mu was sleeping, he felt relieved and put the tile back on.
Gu Mu understood almost instantly: it was the man in black from the evening. Having been ambushed once, he saw Shen Ling going out alone and wanted to check on Gu Mu's movements.
Gu Mu quietly followed them.
He saw the man in black run up to another man in black and whisper to him, "I just checked. The Regent's five guards are all at the inn, the Regent is fast asleep, and the Queen's girlfriend, Youyou, hasn't woken up yet. Only the Queen went out."
"Good, heaven is on my side. If we tie up the princess, she'll be all alone. Even if she has any schemes, she won't be able to cause any trouble."
"Should we tell that person...?"
"You think we can't handle just one woman?"
"That's right... all the credit will be ours then, since that person has been so slow to act..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Gu Mu followed the two men and found that they had arrived at an abandoned temple.
As assassins are unlikely to be discovered, Gu Mu, with his profound martial arts skills, followed them at a distance without being detected.
"Chen Ling has been captured by them?" Gu Mu lay on the roof of the temple, pried open a tile, and looked down.
He was better at concealing his presence than the men in black, so he noticed them as soon as they arrived.
At that moment, he was lying on their roof, and no one noticed.
The assassins stood guard on the side.
As expected, Shen Ling was tied up in the temple. With her head down, she didn't look disheveled, but rather possessed a delicate beauty.
"What were you thinking, running out all by yourself in the middle of the night?"
What kind of brains can a woman have?
"That's true, but she's so beautiful, do you think the Regent will come to her rescue?"
"Probably. We'll lie in ambush nearby, and when the Regent arrives, we'll trap him like a turtle in a jar!"
The group was discussing animatedly when they heard Shen Ling say coldly—
"No."
His voice was cold and distant.
She looked up.
There was a cold madness in his eyes.
"You...you shouldn't be afraid?" The man in black was clearly surprised by Shen Ling's expression and was momentarily frightened, worried that there might be another ambush.
But they checked, and the Regent only brought a small group of people, all of whom were at the inn.
"Why?" another man in black asked curiously.
Shen Ling cut the rope on her wrist, smiled slightly, revealing two charming little tiger teeth—
"Because you are about to die."
The voice was icy cold.
It's like a death warrant from the Grim Reaper.
As soon as Shen Ling finished speaking, the four people clutched their necks and collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.
Beneath the skin of their necks, a thin worm was crawling, gradually making its way into their brains.
If they want to get the worm out, they have to cut their necks, and they'll die too.
Shen Ling watched their bodies crawling on the ground, and their incredulous expressions.
They probably never imagined that they would be instantly defeated by this princess who had grown up in luxury and seemed to have been well protected.
"Master...Master's intelligence is wrong again..."
They said the Regent wasn't very skilled in martial arts and that they could handle him, but it turned out the Regent could easily take on all four of them by himself.
They said the princess only knew a little bit of martial arts, but it turns out she also knew some unorthodox methods of killing.
