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

Chapter 100 Are you worried about me?

The Emperor glanced at her, and seeing that she dared to obstruct him, he frowned slightly: "Guards, drag him away."

Several imperial guards rushed in immediately. When Mo Jiuxiao saw this scene, his coldness intensified.

"What does this mean, Your Majesty?"

Seeing Mo Jiuxiao's expression, the old emperor raised his hand and waved.

The imperial guards immediately retreated, their eyes fixed warily on the two people standing in the middle of the hall.

"Jiuxiao, since you are so attached to this person, I can't really make things difficult for you. If you really want to marry him, I can't say no. Don't worry, if you stay in the capital in the future, I will definitely let you live a carefree life as a prince."

Gu Lingzhi felt utterly disgusted upon hearing the emperor's high-sounding words.

But she really couldn't understand why Mo Jiuxiao would do such a thing.

What exactly does he want to do?

Even if Gu Lingzhi didn't know or couldn't guess, she didn't want to watch him break her wings.

“Ninth Prince, you don’t need to hand over your military power for such a trivial matter.”

She spoke so bluntly that Mo Jiuxiao must have sensed it.

But Mo Jiuxiao's expression remained unchanged: "Since the Emperor has agreed, I beg the Emperor to grant us this marriage."

Immediately, someone stepped forward and took the military token from Mo Jiuxiao's hand.

The emperor looked at the military power he had longed for for many years, his eyes filled with smiles.

Gu Lingzhi felt a chill run through her body and her heart trembled slightly.

Even the current emperor will stop at nothing to gain military power.

"I beg Your Majesty to grant us this marriage."

Mo Jiuxiao slowly lowered his eyes, looking calmly at the overjoyed emperor before him.

The emperor seemed to hear Mo Jiuxiao's voice after a long while. He was in a very good mood and immediately nodded: "Since you don't like that Miss Sun, then I will rescind my order. As for who you want to marry, I won't interfere. I will have someone prepare a mansion in the capital for you later. You can live there as a leisurely prince."

Mo Jiuxiao remained composed, neither arrogant nor humble, neither surprised nor pleased: "Okay."

He reached back and grabbed Gu Lingzhi's wrist.

Gu Lingzhi was still reeling from what had just happened. Even though she knew that Mo Jiuxiao's decision wouldn't change, she was still a little angry.

Gu Lingzhi was furious as soon as she stepped out of the palace gate.

She flung Mo Jiuxiao's hand away: "Your Highness knows how important that military tally is, so why did you do this?"

The reason he could act with impunity in the capital was entirely due to the military tally of 300,000 troops in his hands.

But now, Mo Jiuxiao has so easily and effortlessly handed over the military seal.

She remembered the contents of the book: Gu Fuling stole Mo Jiuxiao's military tally, which drove Mo Jiuxiao to a dead end.

Now it seems that even though some things have changed, the trajectory is still moving in the same direction.

Mo Jiuxiao suddenly curved the corners of his lips into a smile.

That face, which rarely smiled, was now filled with a beauty like melting snow.

He suddenly reached out and gently touched Gu Lingzhi's hair: "Are you worried about me?"

Gu Lingzhi's eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth slightly: "I have no intention of caring whether you live or die."

Although she was stubborn, she really didn't want Mo Jiuxiao to end up in that situation.

The fact that the War King of Beiyi was actually the prince of Nanhuai was tantamount to a catastrophe for him.

How did Gu Fuling find out the truth?

Gu Lingzhi felt a little flustered, but she couldn't tell Mo Jiuxiao these things directly. With her current abilities, it was too early for her to stop some things that were about to happen.

Mo Jiuxiao chuckled softly, but avoided answering her previous question: "Don't deny it!"

Gu Lingzhi was furious.

This is what it means to be more anxious than the emperor.

She simply couldn't understand what was going on in Mo Jiuxiao's head: "So what does Your Highness plan to do next?"

Mo Jiuxiao withdrew his hands from Gu Lingzhi's body and gently held her fingers: "Didn't I tell you to prepare your things and wait for the wedding?"

Gu Lingzhi rolled her eyes, but she didn't expect Mo Jiuxiao to take this matter so seriously.

Marrying him... doesn't seem so bad.

This man is rich, powerful, and handsome; he possesses virtually every desirable quality, making him seem almost too perfect.

As she was pondering this, just as she was about to leave the inner courtyard of the palace, she bumped into Gu Fuling, who was entering.

Gu Fuling stiffened for a moment when she looked up and saw the two of them.

Her face was ashen, and her eyes were filled with intense hatred, but she still bowed her head and greeted Mo Jiuxiao: "Ninth Prince Uncle".

Mo Jiuxiao stopped in front of Gu Fuling: "In front of me, keep your little schemes to yourself."

After being warned, Gu Fuling gritted her teeth and raised her head, her face showing a mixture of fragility and stubbornness.

"Ninth Prince, Fuling has never offended you, so why do you target Fuling repeatedly?"

Her eyes were red and swollen, and she suddenly spoke out loudly, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had felt over the past few days.

Gu Lingzhi raised an eyebrow slightly and stepped in front of her: "You haven't offended Ninth Prince, but you... have offended me?"

"you……"

Gu Fuling glanced at Gu Lingzhi. She had clearly only used her as a pawn at the beginning and never thought that she would fall for her.

From Yue Shuyi's attitude towards her, she could tell that Gu Zhi must have done something behind the scenes.

"You are mean!"

Gu Lingzhi sneered: "The word 'despicable' is not appropriate for me. If it were to become a label, you would have plenty of them."

She retorted, and seeing Gu Fuling's particularly aggrieved eyes, she felt extremely relieved.

Resentment has completely changed her; now, Gu Fuling's eyes are filled with nothing but deep scheming.

"You are nothing but a commoner. It is only right for me to take your life. What are you anyway?"

A commoner?

Gu Fuling's words immediately enraged Gu Lingzhi.

A slight smile played on her lips, and the coldness in her eyes deepened. If it weren't for Gu Fuling, Gu Lingzhi wouldn't have ended up like that: "Gu Fuling, don't forget your own status. Your mother was a servant, not even as good as a maid. You yourself came from a lowly background, what right do you have to talk about others here?"

These words struck Gu Fuling's heart like a knife.

She pressed her lips tightly together, her eyes blazing with fury. She raised her hand, ready to slap Gu Lingzhi across the face.

However, the slap was caught halfway through.

Mo Jiuxiao showed no mercy and slammed Gu Fuling to the ground with a backhand.

A cloud of dust rose from the ground. Gu Lingzhi saw Gu Fuling lying there for a long time without getting up and shook her head helplessly. Mo Jiuxiao's strength was such that even a martial artist would not be able to withstand it, let alone the frail Gu Fuling.

She only glanced at her and then ignored her.

The Third Prince has already been defeated, so Gu Fuling will naturally not amount to anything.

Thinking of this, Gu Lingzhi felt completely refreshed.

But at that moment, Gu Fuling suddenly cried out, "Shuyi, help me, please!"

She lay sprawled on the ground, shouting in one direction. Gu Lingzhi, who was about to leave, instinctively looked in that direction.

What a coincidence! Yue Shuyi was standing at the corner, and judging from his expression, he must have seen everything that just happened.

He strode over.

Gu Lingzhi narrowed her eyes, a faint coldness flashing across them.

Although she planned to treat Yue Shuyi's illness tonight, she wouldn't hesitate to show no mercy if he did anything disrespectful.

Gu Fuling lay there in a disheveled state, covered in ashes.

The two maids behind her knelt timidly to the side, not daring to help her up.

Yue Shuyi stood not far from her, his eyes filled with a deep coldness. Gu Fuling thought he was pitying her, so she gently grabbed the hem of his clothes and said, "Shuyi, it hurts so much."

Tears instantly streamed down her face. Yue Shuyi bent down and helped her up from the ground.

He was very polite, even minimizing contact with her: "Fuling, what are you doing here?"

Yue Shuyi's question startled Gu Fuling slightly. She wiped her eyes and whispered, "I want to go see His Highness the Third Prince. He must be having a very hard time in the Heavenly Prison."

Yue Shuyi never cared about these things. Even though he understood perfectly well, he still didn't feel comfortable interjecting: "Hmm."

He simply nodded, then took two steps back, distancing himself from Gu Fuling.

Gu Fuling was stunned. Feeling Yue Shuyi combing her hair, she glared angrily at Gu Lingzhi: "It's you, isn't it? Who exactly are you?"

Gu Lingzhi smiled gently, her eyes sparkling with a faint light.

It seems that Gu Fuling must have noticed something as well.

Today, she revealed Gu Fuling's background without any concealment, which was the very background that Gu Fuling wanted to hide the most. After all, her mother was a foot-washing maid, which was not a respectable thing. Gu Fuling would never allow herself to have such a big stain in this life.

Therefore, when she was in the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion, she was registered under the name of a concubine who had already died.

Few people knew she was born to a maid, and this person was more likely from the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion.

"Gu Zhi, you must be from the Gu family, right? You're one of the Gu family's trusted confidants, aren't you? You're colluding with foreign enemies just like the Gu family, planning to take revenge on me. I knew it..."

She rattled off these things in a rapid-fire voice.

Gu Lingzhi couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips when she heard her guess.

She had no intention of living under someone else's identity for the rest of her life, and soon she would have the opportunity to regain her original identity.

Once the Third Prince falls, the truth about the Marquis of Zhenguo's treason will be revealed, and Gu Fuling will be the one who loses in the end.

"So what? More than a hundred members of the Gu family died because of you, Gu Fuling. Don't you have nightmares when you sleep at night?"

Her words carried a sinister undertone.

Gu Fuling couldn't help but clutch her chest, widen her eyes, and take a step back.

"You...who are you?"

Her eyes were full of suspicion, but she couldn't guess what was going on.
