The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

She slept soundly through the night, perhaps because she was too tired from her injury; Gu Lingxi fell asleep almost as soon as she closed her eyes!

The next morning, Ling Xi slowly woke up. Recalling the bizarre events that had happened to her, she felt a little disoriented, as if she had just had an incredible dream.

Could it be that she hadn't died but her soul had arrived in this other world? Could it be related to that painting of a beautiful woman? She remembered that when she touched the bright red forehead ornament on that woman's forehead, her finger was inexplicably pricked, and blood stained it. The original owner's body had a forehead injury? And she just realized that the beauty in the painting and this body bore an eight or nine-tenths resemblance.

What is the connection between all of this? Was it preordained, or an accident? What about the original owner of this body? Was she dead? Or did she go somewhere else?

Just as I was racking my brains trying to figure it out, the door was gently opened!

"Miss, you're awake. It's time to take your medicine. Madam came by earlier, but seeing that you were still asleep, she didn't want to disturb you, so she left some breakfast before leaving. She also told you to drink your medicine while it's hot."

After Hua Ying finished speaking, she took the medicine box and walked over, placing it and breakfast on the table before helping the young lady to get up.

"Miss, let me reapply the medicine and bandage to your head wound. The wound mustn't get wet, so you won't be able to wash for the next few days. Please bear with it." It will heal soon. Don't worry, Miss.

"Alright, why are you nagging so much! Miss's ears are practically calloused. Also, you're not allowed to call yourself a servant anymore. I don't have so many ridiculous rules here. As long as you're loyal to me, it's fine to call each other sisters!"

"Miss, you're so kind!" Hua Ying's eyes reddened slightly. Having served her mistress for so many years, this was the first time she'd heard her say such things, and she was deeply moved. She also thought to herself, "Since returning from this injury, my mistress seems to have changed a lot. She never used to talk so much, and she was always a bit shy!"

Apart from his older brother Gu Yunyang, he never played or chatted with anyone else. He usually stayed quietly in his room playing the piano, reading books, and embroidering. Today, he was able to say so much to her, and some of the things she never even dared to imagine. She was truly flattered.

Hua Ying continued working, unwrapping the gauze from Gu Lingxi's head. Just as she was about to apply medicine, she saw the wound on her mistress's forehead, gasped, and nearly dropped the medicine. "What's wrong? Did the scar scare you? It can't be that bad!" Was fate playing a trick on her? Giving her a beautiful face to make her happy first, then leaving her with an ugly scar to annoy her! Although she didn't care about her appearance, having it was still incomplete. It was like accidentally acquiring a beautiful work of art only to find it missing a corner—it was incredibly frustrating.

"Ying'er, bring the mirror over." Hua Ying hesitated for a moment, but still took the mirror and handed it to Gu Lingxi. "Miss, although your wound is a bit deep, it will definitely heal in a few days. I heard that this ointment is a top-quality Jade Skin Ointment that was bestowed upon you by the uterus a few days ago. It is very effective in treating this kind of wound! Don't worry too much!" She finished speaking and looked at her young mistress.

Gu Lingxi stared at the mirror, first frowning slightly, then remaining silent, before a smile, even one of surprise, appeared on her face. Hua Ying was completely bewildered. What was wrong with her young mistress? Was she too heartbroken? It didn't seem like it!

The shape of the wound was exactly the same as the ruby-like cinnabar mole on the forehead of the beautiful woman in the painting that had caused her to transmigrate. The color was a vivid, blood-red, as if it might fall off at any moment. The wound was hot, deep, and quite gruesome! But she had a hunch! She felt it would heal and grow back. She didn't know where this inexplicable feeling came from! Even she found the feeling absurd and laughable.

Because all my thoughts were focused on that one spot, I suddenly felt a pain there, and a warm current slowly flowed into my meridians, making my whole body feel warm and comfortable! Looking at yesterday's wounds, I could see them slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the damaged meridians were also repaired little by little.

This… Gu Lingxi narrowed her eyes, staring in astonishment at this magical and mysterious scene! She'd struck gold! This was too amazing! It was practically a miracle!

With a look of surprise, he looked at the wound on his forehead again, and just as he had expected, a little bit of it had protruded, like a ruby ​​shining with brilliant light, tightly embedded on his forehead!

Compared to the ugly scar from before, Ling Xi now looked incredibly beautiful, like a celestial maiden descended to earth. Her beauty was exquisite without a trace of vulgarity, and the dazzling cinnabar mole on her forehead further accentuated her radiant and extraordinary aura! Her smile was truly captivating. At such a young age, she was already so enchanting; who knows how extraordinary she would become when she grew up!

Hua Ying, standing to the side, covered her mouth, completely stunned by her young mistress's sudden transformation. Had her eyes played tricks on her? How could the wound have changed so drastically? Even the highest-grade elixir wouldn't heal in the blink of an eye. Was her young mistress a demon or a deity? But her young mistress had become even more beautiful; she herself, who had seen her every day, was almost completely captivated and had nearly lost her mind!

Looking at Hua Ying, who was stunned and quite frightened, Gu Lingxi said solemnly with a stern face: "Hua Ying, you must keep what you saw today a secret. You must not tell a third person, not even your mother or brother. Do you understand?"

Believe me, betrayal and loyalty are just a thought away, but the price of betrayal is something you can't afford—it's worse than death! Conversely, I'll lead you to the pinnacle of life. I'll take you to the best of everything, show you the finest things, and make you soar to new heights. I'll only say this once, whether you understand or not, you'd better remember it well.

A blatant threat! I have to threaten her, otherwise people will think I'm a monster and burn me alive! Of course, it's necessary to take this opportunity to teach this little girl a lesson. The word "betrayal" doesn't exist in Gu Lingxi's dictionary, and she won't allow it. As the former Queen of the Night, she will ruthlessly nip any potential threat to her in the bud.

Seeing Gu Lingxi's stern face, the little maid trembled with fear, quickly knelt down, raised her right hand, and said tremblingly, "Miss, I have served you for more than eight years. My loyalty to you is absolute and unwavering, as heaven and earth can attest. I will keep silent about what happened today and will never tell anyone, even if it means my death. From now on, I will be even more loyal and devoted to serving you. If I am found to be lying in the slightest, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

She felt that her mistress had changed, but her personality had changed so drastically that it was completely different from what she had imagined! Her every move and her nonchalant tone exuded the majesty of a superior, making her unconsciously want to submit. This aura was no less than that of a general, and while it made people submit, it also instilled a sense of fear, making it impossible for her to have the slightest thought of rebellion.

Alright, get up! As long as you are loyal, I will treat you like a sister. Also, you seem to have forgotten what I said yesterday: don't refer to yourself as a servant. I don't like hearing that.

"Don't be afraid, don't be shy. Do you think I'm a monster? Would I eat you?" The joke, tinged with a hint of teasing, eased the tense atmosphere. "Just tell everyone that I'm wearing a headband to cover my ugly scar, and also prepare extra veils to conceal it in case anyone suspects anything!"

"Yes, Miss." "Alright, you can go now." "Miss, what about this medicine? Do you think I still need this medicine?"

"Of course not, then this servant, no, Ying'er will take it out now!"

"No, don't take it outside, just dump it under the tree by that window over there!" Gu Lingxi pointed to the window on the east side.

Without hesitation, Hua Ying picked up the medicine bowl and walked over, pouring the medicine under the tree. Although Hua Ying was puzzled, she dared not disobey her mistress! But she still couldn't help asking, "Why did you pour it out, Miss? Why didn't you take it outside?"

Gu Lingxi looked at her with a smile until Hua Ying felt a little uneasy before she slowly said, "Do you think someone who is seriously injured will recover in two days? If the medicine is taken out, anyone who sees it will become suspicious. If someone with ulterior motives sees it, wouldn't I be in great danger? Hmm? Don't you think so?"

"What you say makes sense, Miss. Ying'er is truly foolish! Thank you for your guidance, Miss!"

"No need for thanks, just follow me! You'll only get smarter from now on! This is how you'll handle your medicine for the next month, understand?"

"Yes, yes, Ying'er understands and will remember Miss's instructions!" She'll go to the study later to find some history books and strategies from various states. Thinking Miss was just bored, Hua Ying quietly closed the door and left. Watching the little maid's departing figure, Gu Lingxi sighed silently. This girl was indeed loyal, but unfortunately, she was too simple-minded and lacked cunning!
