The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack: The Evil King's Doctor Consort's Ent

Chapter 10 You Absolutely Can't Leave

"Your Highness, now that Liu Sanren is dead, no matter the reason, there is absolutely no reason to spare her life."

"She's just a servant girl, her death is nothing to regret!"

Gu Lingzhi hadn't expected that her words would lead the soldiers to join in the commotion. She glanced sideways at Mo Jiuxiao, somewhat surprised that he was in a subordinate's tent.

Logically speaking, Mo Jiuxiao, as the pillar of the three armies, should be too busy with military affairs every day to care about such trivial matters.

She looked up, but unexpectedly her eyes met Mo Jiuxiao's.

She quickly concealed the light in her eyes.

"Your Highness, the corpse has cyanotic lips, bleeding eyelids, a bluish-purple face, and obvious pressure marks on its face. It did not die from wounds, but was suffocated!"

Her voice was firm, and her eyes were incredibly sharp; her words made people want to believe her.

"Your Highness, this servant is talking nonsense. It's quite obvious how the person died."

Gu Lingzhi's lowered eyes flickered.

A glint of light flickered in her eyes, and she suddenly remembered what the eunuch had said.

Among the crowd, there must have been someone from the eunuch's faction who stirred up trouble, and the fact that she died suddenly suggests that someone was deliberately trying to frame her.

Even if the other party's death could be explained, the intention behind it was still very clear. Besides, who would care about the life or death of a female slave?

She slowly raised her head to look at Mo Jiuxiao: "Everything I said is true. If Your Highness does not believe me, you can arrange for a coroner to investigate. If there is any falsehood in what I said, you may deal with it as you see fit."

Mo Jiuxiao glanced at her sideways.

"You're right."

The voice was clear and melodious.

"Your Majesty, this..."

The soldiers were also caught off guard and couldn't understand why a prince would suddenly visit after the death of a mere soldier.

He did indeed die of suffocation.

Gu Lingzhi breathed a sigh of relief; her impression of Mo Jiuxiao had changed slightly.

"Your Highness, perhaps this servant girl used some tricks, which is why..."

Mo Jiuxiao stood with his hands behind his back, his posture upright, nearly 1.9 meters tall, making Gu Lingzhi look up at him.

Looking at his profile, Gu Lingzhi calmed down slightly.

With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, he's like a natural clothes hanger; any clothes he wears exude an innate air of nobility and superiority.

"However, I have said it before: if he dies, you will die too!"

A roar seemed to resound in her mind, and Gu Lingzhi almost lost her balance. She looked up at Mo Jiuxiao in a daze, completely unable to understand what was wrong with him.

They absolutely had to take her life.

"Your Highness, although my life may be worthless in everyone's eyes, it is not without value. His injuries have indeed been healed by me. If you give me a chance, I will definitely make amends!"

Mo Jiuxiao glanced at her coldly: "But do you think any of these people here would be willing to let you heal their wounds?"

Gu Lingzhi looked up and saw that the people guarding the door silently took a step back in unison.

Gu Lingzhi was speechless, but she had already seen the murderous intent in Mo Jiuxiao's eyes.

Her gaze was solemn, yet she held her chin high as she stared at him. "What does Your Highness want? If Your Highness insists on taking my life, what can I say?" Perhaps, I'll just go back to where I started when I'm dead.

However, Gu Lingzhi's ending in that book wasn't very happy either.

If the final outcome is truly as described in the book, where she is humiliated to death by many people, she might as well just find a block of tofu and smash her head against it right now.

Mo Jiuxiao looked into her eyes and suddenly grabbed her arm.

Gu Lingzhi was forcibly dragged out of the military tent and the crowd of people.

The soldiers were dumbfounded, completely baffled as to why their lord would repeatedly show leniency to a mere servant girl. They looked at each other, utterly confused.

Gu Lingzhi was taken to a familiar military tent.

This military tent isn't far from the one we just saw, and she'd been here around noon.

The smell of medicine was still so strong. Mo Jiuxiao led her directly to the bedside and pointed to the writing on the table, saying, "Did you leave that?"

Gu Lingzhi was taken aback, not expecting Mo Jiuxiao to bring this up.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Heal him!"

The three crisp words were uttered by Mo Jiuxiao, and Gu Lingzhi looked at the person on the bed with suspicion.

Could this person be a relative or friend of Mo Jiuxiao?

Gu Lingzhi stroked her chin, gave him a profound look, and then understood why he hadn't killed her in the end: "This is a difficult matter. You should know that he's on his last breath. I absolutely cannot do it in a short time to detoxify him and treat his wounds."

"time!"

Gu Lingzhi's heart skipped a beat, and she held her breath in her throat.

"Three months!"

Having received his answer, Mo Jiuxiao gently pinched her chin, making her look up at him, and then gazed into her eyes.

His thin, pale lips slowly parted: "His life is yours. Don't disappoint me, understand?"

Gu Lingzhi returned the gaze without hesitation: "I will not let myself down."

"Ah...that's good!"

Mo Jiuxiao sneered, then suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Gu Lingzhi's eyes widened, and she took a bite without any hesitation.

Mo Jiuxiao's lips cracked, he tightened his grip slightly, and his eyes grew warmer.

"Very good. Although your tactics have changed, I like them very much."
