Chapter 103 is breathtaking.

Gu Fuling was in so much pain that she was about to faint.

The palace servants around were busy, but the whole room was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Gu Fuling gritted her teeth, her face pale, but the unwillingness in her eyes was evident.

The curtain was lifted, and she turned her head to see Gu Lingzhi walking in.

"Gu Zhi, please save me. No matter what grudges we have, the child is innocent, isn't he?"

This is a critical time, and she absolutely cannot give up this child. If the child dies, the Third Prince's residence may be completely ruined.

She would absolutely not agree.

Gu Lingzhi narrowed her eyes and gestured for everyone to step back.

She stared into Gu Fuling's eyes and said, word by word, "Since I can come, I can save you, but not because of you."

She began to have things prepared, everything proceeded smoothly, and she showed no sign of anxiety.

Although Gu Fuling's condition seemed serious, it wasn't a big deal for her.

She saved many patients with even more serious conditions than this one back then.

However, she wasn't really an expert in gynecology. After all, although she had studied a wide variety of subjects, her expertise was mainly in traditional Chinese medicine and surgery.

"Gu Zhi, don't even think about doing anything underhanded, or I won't let you off the hook... Ah!"

Gu Fuling screamed in pain.

Gu Lingzhi withdrew her hand from her lower abdomen, and a slow smile appeared on her lips: "Don't worry, I'm not as insidious and despicable as you!"

"you……"

Gu Fuling was speechless, gripping the blanket tightly with both hands, her eyes fixed on one spot.

Gu Lingzhi had no intention of giving her any anesthesia or relieving any of her pain, and simply had someone bring over everything that had been prepared.

A row of silver needles.

The most powerful aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine is acupuncture, which is even more potent than medicine.

Gu Lingzhi remained silent, meticulously placing all the silver needles down, turning Gu Fuling into a hedgehog.

Gu Fuling was writhing in pain, but she dared not say a word.

Time ticked by, and the inside quieted down, but the people outside grew increasingly anxious.

Mo Jiuxiao sat quietly to the side, drinking tea with his eyes lowered, but his peripheral vision was fixed on the direction of the inner hall.

No one spoke; the hall was quiet.

The emperor was somewhat nervous, and even more worried about his grandson.

"It's already dark, why haven't they come out yet?"

Although Yue Shuyi was also sitting there, his brows were constantly furrowed.

If Gu Lingzhi can really cure Gu Fuling, then it can only be said that her medical skills are even stronger than he imagined.

Thinking of this, Yue Shuyi's eyes brightened a bit. The best doctors were all in Lan Yue Kingdom, so where did this Gu Zhi come from?

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure it out.

The Emperor was impatient. "Go and see why there's not a sound from inside!"

Several imperial physicians looked worried: "That person won't let us in to disturb him, Your Majesty, please be patient."

He had barely finished speaking when the door opened.

A figure walked out from inside. Gu Lingzhi had already cleaned herself up. Although she smelled a little blood, it wasn't too unpleasant.

"The Third Prince's Consort has already rested. Gu Zhi has finished what needed to be done. Farewell!"

After saying this, Gu Lingzhi walked directly towards Mo Jiuxiao.

The people outside waited for two hours, until it was already dark. When Yue Shuyi saw the two leave, he quickly followed.

He simply couldn't contain his curiosity.

Even he couldn't do anything about the child in Gu Fuling's womb, but Gu Fuling was right; Gu Zhi could cure it.

He whispered, "Gu Zhi, who exactly are you?"

The fact that this person could prolong his life, a life that even the entire Lan Yue Kingdom couldn't cure, and also save his helpless fetus, meant that in his eyes, this person's medical skills were simply heaven-defying.

Although he had heard that Mo Jiuxiao was seriously injured, he never thought about how serious it really was.

Therefore, he did not believe any of the reputations spread by those people.

But seeing is believing, and today Gu Zhi personally staged a miracle in front of him.

Gu Lingzhi was taken aback, glanced back at him, and then smiled, "I'm just an ordinary servant of a prince, with no special status. So what if I know a little medicine? I just treat people's illnesses. What's so special about that?"

If Gu Lingzhi were just an ordinary doctor, there would be nothing surprising about her, but she is not.

Yue Shuyi felt that he couldn't see through her at all.

"You said, tonight..."

Gu Lingzhi was taken aback, then remembered what she had said earlier. She nodded, not wanting to waste any more time: "Your Highness, you go back first, I'll be right back."

She wanted to get rid of Mo Jiuxiao, but she heard Mo Jiuxiao grit his teeth slightly: "What, is there something you can't show your face?"

Gu Lingzhi sighed, "No, since Your Highness wants to stay, I'll help you!"

Mo Jiuxiao had no interest in this matter.

Only Gu Lingzhi could treat a dignified Ninth Prince like a servant.

Gu Lingzhi rubbed her slightly sore wrists, but still did not refuse Yue Shuyi's request.

The Emperor's attention is now entirely focused on Gu Fuling, who is unconscious. This is the perfect time; there will be absolutely no outsiders to disturb her.

With this in mind, Gu Lingzhi felt much more at ease. She had everyone in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion prepare a large amount of things, and then had Yue Shuyi lie down on the bed.

"Undress?"

Yue Shuyi frowned and subconsciously looked in Mo Jiuxiao's direction.

Mo Jiuxiao had a cold face, and the surrounding air seemed to be frozen.

"How can I get treatment if I don't take it off?"

Gu Lingzhi held the disinfected Mo Chen in her hand, gently curving her lips into a teasing smile as if deliberately provoking Mo Jiuxiao: "Anyway, we're both men, so what's there for the Imperial Advisor to be shy about?"

With this thought in mind, Yue Shuyi felt much less pressure.

Just as he was about to make a move, Mo Jiuxiao, with a gloomy face, covered Gu Lingzhi's eyes with his hand.

Yue Shuyi looked puzzled, but he still said with utmost sincerity, "Your Highness, please rest assured, as a physician, I am innocent and will not have any ill intentions towards your people."

Mo Jiuxiao didn't even look at him.

He didn't think Yue Shuyi had any ulterior motives; he was afraid that Gu Lingzhi might.

Yue Shuyi had no idea what he was thinking, and still took off her upper clothes and lay there.

Gu Lingzhi lowered her voice and said, "If Your Highness blocks my view like this, I won't be able to make a move."

Mo Jiuxiao gritted his teeth: "What, you like looking at other men so much? Aren't my men enough for you to look at?"

Gu Lingzhi raised her eyebrows and said, "If Your Highness were to block my view now, it would be too late. Although there aren't many men with a figure like Your Highness, I've seen at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, men's bodies."

Although half of them were corpses.

As a doctor, one should not discriminate based on whether a patient is male or female. Therefore, Mo Jiuxiao's thinking is indeed somewhat unprofessional.

Mo Jiuxiao gritted his teeth in anger, and Gu Lingzhi could hear the sound of him grinding his teeth from a great distance.

Although she was a little puzzled, she still found it funny.

Her smile faded, and her gaze fell on Yue Shuyi's chest. He had his eyes closed, his breathing was steady, and he was completely still.

Gu Lingzhi, who often saw large groups of shirtless men at the beach, really had no thoughts about it.

The night grew deeper.

Gu Lingzhi's expression was extremely serious, and her hands never stopped moving from beginning to end.

Mo Jiuxiao seemed to be watching a very shocking drama, and his gaze remained fixed on her without ever leaving her.

Making a hole in a person's body, especially in the heart area, was something Mo Jiuxiao would never have dared to imagine before.

Even seeing it a second time, the impact is still immense.

Gu Lingzhi finished the surgical ligation, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. The two trembling palace maids guarding the door, seeing her emerge, their eyes filled with fear: "Our Imperial Preceptor..."

"Your Grand Preceptor is very good. Take good care of him. He should wake up around tomorrow. Don't let him touch anything forbidden. I'll head back now."

She hadn't slept all night and her whole body ached terribly.

Mo Jiuxiao stood up and walked to her side. Seeing that she was still packing her things, he picked her up without saying a word.

"Go back to sleep."

She had forgotten that there was a prince here who had kept her company all night.

Gu Lingzhi was too exhausted to struggle anymore and nestled comfortably in his arms.

Listening to that familiar, steady heartbeat, I don't know why, but it felt strangely familiar.

However, this eerie feeling was fleeting, and Gu Lingzhi closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Mo Jiuxiao placed her on the large bed in the palace.

The bright red curtains fell, completely burying Gu Lingzhi within them.

He dipped his fingers in the medicine and removed the mask from her face, revealing Gu Lingzhi's extremely beautiful face underneath.

Her eyebrows were arched, and her long eyelashes cast shadows on her eyelids. Her thin lips were slightly pursed, as if she were not quite at peace even in her sleep.

But Mo Jiuxiao was wide awake at this moment.

This face is exactly the same as it was three years ago, but there are some differences.

He couldn't find even the slightest resemblance to the original person, whether it was their eyebrows, eyes, or temperament.

It even prevented him from venting the anger that had been building up inside him.

Mo Jiuxiao gently traced the corners of Gu Lingzhi's lips with his hand; those thin lips, like poison, deeply aroused his interest.

And surprisingly, he didn't feel anything was wrong with it.

Gu Lingzhi felt an itch on her face, so she slapped Mo Jiuxiao's hand hard, then turned over and continued sleeping.

Mo Jiuxiao glanced at his slightly reddened hands and slowly curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Having someone by your side isn't so bad; at least you won't be left to die all alone like you were three years ago.

He pulled himself together, wrapped his arms around Gu Lingzhi's waist, and pressed their bodies close together, their heat seemingly spreading. In Mo Jiuxiao's eyes, however, it seemed as if he was reminiscing about something.
