Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

Yu Shuyan quickly calculated in her mind how to convince Gong Mojue that her and Yu Moyan's approach to him was not at someone's behest.

After all, she could tell that Liu Bai wasn't just bluffing when he threatened to kill them.

If Yu Moyan hadn't pulled her away quickly, she might already be a corpse.

"I heard your son is three years old?"

Just as Yu Shuyan was thinking rapidly, Gong Mojue's cold voice suddenly came.

Startled, Yu Shuyan suddenly looked at him, her eyes filled with wariness:

"What do you want! Believe it or not, my elder brother did come to you to cooperate in order to protect me. As for why I have an irreconcilable feud with Changning, I don't want to say. Even if I did, you probably wouldn't believe me. Ruining your plans at the Prime Minister's residence was completely unintentional; I simply—"

Before she could finish speaking, Gong Mojue interrupted her:

"Just want to protect Bai Ziyu?"

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the coldness in Gong Mojue's eyes seemed to have intensified.

After a moment's thought, he spoke:

"Yes! Just to protect him."

Gong Mojue's eyes narrowed slightly:

"Why?"

Yu Shuyan was taken aback. She didn't understand what he wanted to ask.

A thought flickered in his mind: if he was wary of Bai Chongshan, he must also be wary of Bai Ziyu. His suspicion that she was sent by Bai Ziyu was plausible.

Then, looking directly into his eyes, she said frankly:

"Your Highness, rest assured, we are definitely not from the Bai family. The reason I helped Young Master Bai is firstly because he protected me at the banquet at the Prime Minister's residence; and secondly because he is a man of integrity and purity, like the clear moon in the sky, and should not be involved with a woman like Situ Yue. It was just a small favor for me, so why wouldn't I help him?"

"Besides, I didn't know either. It was your doing. So it was completely unintentional. Your Highness is wise and insightful. You shouldn't be angry with me for such an unintentional mistake."

Gong Mojue felt a tingling, unprecedented sensation wash over him as she stared directly into his eyes, as if a feather had brushed against his heart.

Before his eyes, the image of that night floated up again: those eyes, so alluring and enchanting, entwined with tender affection, hidden behind the sheer curtains of the bed—eyes that haunted his mind in countless midnight dreams.

Seeing that he didn't speak but just stared straight at her, Yu Shuyan felt that he was weighing whether her words were credible or not.

A slight anxiety rose within her; she knew Gong Mojue's schemes were far-reaching. If she couldn't persuade him to believe her, then, given their earlier ambiguous stance, they would never allow the brother and sister, who knew of their plot, to leave.

A slight anxiety welled up inside him, and after a moment's thought, he continued:

"Your Highness, I know you won't be so easily fooled by us. However, I will soon present you with a great gift. I believe that once you see it, you will understand our sincerity."

Her voice caused Gong Mojue's trembling eyes to slowly calm down. He raised his fist to his lips and coughed lightly.

"Oh, what is this wonderful gift?"

Yu Shuyan felt a slight sense of relief; if people were willing to ask, then things could take a turn for the better.

"What a great gift it is, His Highness will know in due time."

Gong Mojue raised an eyebrow slightly:

How can I trust you!

Yu Shuyan frowned:

"Your Highness, our entire Yu family is in Lingjin City. You are free to send people to watch over us. If anything happens..."

"Now that we've deceived you, you can just take our whole family's lives!"

As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at the shadow where the blank space had just disappeared:

"After all, given the prince's strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to eliminate our family quietly!"

There was a hint of irony in his voice, a sense of ambiguity in his recent act of killing.

Gong Mojue clearly sensed her sarcasm, but chose to ignore it and nodded.

"That's true, killing you all would be incredibly easy."

Yu Shuyan felt a chill in her heart:

Was it right or wrong to seek cooperation with Gong Mojue?

After all, a "ghost" that crawls out of hell, carrying a strong aura of resentment, can also harm people.

Noticing the fear in her eyes, Gong Mojue's eyes flickered, and without realizing it, the icy chill in his voice softened slightly.

"In that case, I'll trust you this once."

Yu Shuyan, however, did not notice his unusual behavior and felt a slight joy in her heart:

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will make sure you see our sincerity."

Her face, which had been slightly pale from nervousness, regained some color at this moment. She parted her cherry-red lips slightly and let out a soft, imperceptible sigh.

Gong Mojue looked at those slightly parted red lips, and the image of those slightly panting red lips hidden under the light gauze bed curtains reappeared in his mind.

Unconsciously, that tingling, numbing sensation swept through her heart again, her eyes trembled slightly, and she blurted out:

"You are~"

"Your Highness, the wound has been treated properly!"

Suddenly, Mo Ran appeared at the door with Yu Moyan.

Gong Mojue's words were suddenly interrupted, a complex look flashing in his eyes as he looked at Mo Ran.

Mo Ran noticed the look in his eyes and sensed a hint of displeasure. She couldn't help but lower her head and explain:

"Your Highness, Young Master Yu is insisting on coming back, I—"

Gong Mojue's eyes, however, instantly returned to their usual coldness, and he waved his hand slightly:

"It's alright, just send them out!"

Mo Ran was taken aback:

"Master, are we just going to let them leave like this?"

Gong Mojue frowned slightly:

"We won't leave; we'll let them stay here?"

Mo Ran paused for a moment, and although there was still hesitation in his eyes, he finally nodded in agreement.

Then, he said to Yu Moyan and Yu Shuyan:

"Gentlemen, please come with me!"

Yu Shuyan didn't hesitate; she turned around and walked directly to Yu Moyan's side, raising her hand to support him.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Yu Moyan smiled and nodded:

"Don't worry, it's just a superficial wound. It doesn't hurt anymore after the medicine was applied."

Yu Shuyan felt a sense of relief:

"That's good, brother, let's go!"

Yu Moyan glanced at Gong Mojue, who was staring at Yu Shuyan, her brows furrowing slightly. She then turned and led Yu Shuyan away quickly along the way they had come.

Yu Shuyan knew what he was worried about, but she squeezed his arm and gently advised him:

"Don't worry, brother, everything has been settled, there won't be any problems."

Yu Moyan's steps unconsciously slowed down a few degrees:

"Shuyan, what exactly did you say? How could you persuade someone as cautious and suspicious as him?"

Yu Shuyan glanced at Mo Ran, who was following behind her, and said softly:

"Brother, let's talk about it when we get back."

Yu Moyan understood and nodded:

"Okay, let's go home first!"
