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

Chapter 105 Are you a ghost?

Gu Lingzhi looked up with great interest.

She started walking towards Gu Fuling.

Nowadays, everyone lives in the palace, so it's quite normal to run into each other every day. The palace is only so big, and everyone who wants to see the emperor has to take the same path.

Gu Fuling was unaware that there was another person here who surprised her.

She was talking to the maid beside her, her face full of solemnity. When Gu Lingzhi blocked her way, a dark shadow was reflected on her, and Gu Fuling finally realized what was happening.

"Long time no see, Gu Fuling!"

A familiar voice slowly lingered in Gu Fuling's ears.

For so long, Gu Lingzhi had been disguising her voice, but now she was finally speaking in her true voice.

Gu Fuling's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly looked up. When she saw Gu Lingzhi's face, her legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.

In that instant, her mind went blank, her scalp tingled, and her face was filled with terror.

She thought Gu Lingzhi was dead and that she had seen a ghost.

"You...you're a ghost, aren't you?"

Gu Fuling was being supported by her maid, and her already weak body became even more unable to stand. She leaned heavily on the maid, causing the maid to have a pained expression on her face.

Gu Lingzhi was very satisfied with her expression.

Gu Lingzhi had been eagerly anticipating this day, the day she could stand openly before Gu Fuling and see her utterly shocked expression.

The day has finally come.

She was already getting a little impatient.

With her bright eyes and brows, Gu Fuling would still recognize her even if her face turned to ashes.

She was truly the most beautiful woman in the capital back then. If Gu Lingzhi hadn't been such a pretty face, then Miss Sun wouldn't have been even a tenth or a twentieth as beautiful as her.

Gu Fuling's lips trembled slightly, and all the color had drained from her face.

"You...are you a human or a ghost? What do you want?"

Gu Lingzhi chuckled: "In broad daylight, if you think that what's standing in front of you is a ghost, aren't you just daydreaming?"

Gu Fuling already understood that Gu Lingzhi was not dead.

The moment this thought exploded in her heart, Gu Fuling's eyes were filled with boundless hatred.

Why, even though she had already been reborn once, did she still lose to Gu Lingzhi this time: "Guards! There is a traitor's daughter here! Arrest her immediately!"

She shouted loudly, but the guards around her remained unmoved, standing in place without any expression on their faces.

Mo Jiuxiao strode over to Gu Lingzhi's side, frowning slightly. Although he understood Gu Lingzhi's feelings, he still didn't want her to waste time in front of Gu Fuling.

Because, there is no need.

Gu Fuling was nothing more than a grasshopper that could be crushed at will.

"Lingzhi, it's gone!"

The intimate use of the name "Lingzhi" left Gu Fuling in disbelief. Pointing at Gu Lingzhi, she said, "You are Gu Lingzhi, aren't you? You are also Gu Zhi... I knew I was right, you really are Gu Lingzhi..."

She looked a little dazed.

The shock was too great, coupled with the blows of the past few days and the physical injuries, which almost drove Gu Fuling to lose her mind.

This woman, reborn with resentment in her heart, finally couldn't hold back at this moment.

"Ninth Prince, this woman has been ridden by a thousand men and slept with by ten thousand men. She's probably already been ruined at the border. You mustn't believe her..."

Gu Lingzhi narrowed her eyes, and when she heard Gu Fuling's reckless words, she raised her hand and slapped her across the face.

A red, swollen handprint immediately appeared on Gu Fuling's face.

A cold glint flashed in Gu Lingzhi's eyes as she warned her, word by word, "I will settle the score with you for what happened back then, one by one. Gu Lingzhi, just you wait!"

She gently raised her chin, her smile conveying a sense of certainty.

Gu Fuling collapsed to the ground.

The maidservant tried to help her mistress up, but Gu Fuling was completely distracted.

Gu Lingzhi did not die.

Not only did she not die, but she also won Mo Jiuxiao's favor. Was it really because of that face?

Gu Fuling gritted her teeth in regret, her eyes bloodshot. Why hadn't she just ruined her face back then? Instead, she thought of keeping her face intact so that more men could take her down.

The thought of this made her heart ache terribly, and a malicious glint flashed in her eyes. She was completely unaware of the figure right in front of her.

Mo Liufeng could easily see through her expression, and sighed softly, "Gu Fuling, didn't you want to see the Emperor?"

In the past, Mo Liufeng would call her name affectionately, but now, hearing his somewhat cold words, Gu Fuling felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, bringing her back to her senses: "Yes, and the Emperor too. The Emperor will definitely deal with her. She is the daughter of a traitor, why not execute her!"

She murmured to herself, got up from the ground, tidied herself up briefly, and went inside.

Mo Liufeng was in no hurry. He followed behind Gu Fuling, eager to see what she had to say to the Emperor.

But he didn't understand why Gu Fuling, who was clearly a daughter of the Gu family, had never heard of any mistreatment by the Gu family back then, and the old lady treated her even better than Gu Lingzhi. Why did she hate the Gu family to this extent?

Is it simply because she wasn't born in Madam Gu's womb?

Thinking of this, a dark glint flashed in Mo Liufeng's eyes. If that were really the case, then Gu Fuling's heart... was simply too vicious.

As soon as Gu Fuling entered the imperial study, she knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, and cried out in anguish, "Your Majesty, Fuling has just discovered a secret. That Gu Zhi is actually Gu Lingzhi, the daughter of a former traitor!"

Gu Fuling originally thought the Emperor would be angry and have her brought over for questioning, but she saw the Emperor's very calm gaze: "I already know, so what?"

Gu Fuling had no idea about the gold medal, let alone that it was obtained because Gu Lingzhi saved her.

"The Emperor knows? Then why?"

Gu Fuling's pupils contracted, her face full of surprise.

The Emperor put down the memorial, noticing that her expression was also somewhat unpleasant.

If it weren't for Gu Fuling, he wouldn't have needed to say those things, which allowed Gu Lingzhi to take advantage of the situation and challenge his authority.

Gu Lingzhi will undoubtedly die in a year, but even now, just looking at her is enough to give him a headache.

"Besides this matter, is there anything else? If not, just rest well in the palace and don't wander around."

The Emperor is already angry.

If it weren't for the fact that she was already carrying a prince, he would never have given her a kind look.

However, Gu Fuling didn't see this at all.

She turned her head and saw Mo Liufeng standing at the door. She said in a low voice, "Third Prince, didn't you say you had something to explain to the Emperor? The poisoning was not done by you at all. You told me it was you, didn't you..."

Mo Liufeng's face turned cold.

He asked in confusion, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"

How could anyone believe such words spoken in front of the Emperor? Besides, Mo Liufeng is no fool.

Gu Fuling was taken aback. She thought Mo Liufeng would help her, especially since he had already promised her...

“I heard you say that with my own ears, there’s no lie, Mo Liufeng, you can’t slander your elder brother!”

Mo Liufeng closed his eyes and sighed, "I know my sister-in-law is upset, but the facts are the facts. There are witnesses and physical evidence. Even if I wanted to convict my third brother, Father would not allow it!"

"enough!"

The Emperor shouted sharply, interrupting their conversation.

"Gu Fuling, I will thoroughly investigate the matter of the Third Prince. The Crown Prince's affair serves as a cautionary tale, and I do not wish to see him fall into the same trap!"

"Your Majesty is wise. Jinghan has always respected my father. How could he do such a thing?"

Gu Fuling trembled all over.

She was truly at her wit's end. In a short period of time, neither Mo Liufeng nor Yue Shuyi had offered her any help.

She had painstakingly built up her network of connections over the years, but now she couldn't use a single one of them.

Those people were just her and Mo Jinghan's followers. If Mo Jinghan were in good health, he would say something, but now, although all the officials in the court are advising him, the emperor will not listen.

This was a major incident involving a coup, and the emperor almost died because of it.

The old emperor frowned, his gaze shifting from the memorial to Gu Fuling's face: "These past few days, you've been running around for the Third Prince, which must have been quite difficult for you. You're also pregnant with my grandson. From today onwards, you will live in Wuhua Palace until you safely give birth to the child."

Gu Fuling vaguely sensed that the Emperor was confining her to her quarters.

If she can't come out, let alone the baby taking another six or seven months to be born, even if it's only a month, it will be too late.

“Father, Fuling doesn’t want her child to be born without a father. Please, Father, have mercy.”

Hearing this, the old emperor's expression finally softened: "Even tigers don't eat their cubs, so I won't really execute Mo Jinghan. If the crown prince hadn't hanged himself back then, I only intended for him to live as a commoner."

The old emperor's words carried a hint of melancholy.

But after hearing this, Mo Liufeng only felt a chill.

The words sounded nice, but he overheard the palace servants whispering that the poison had been personally delivered by someone arranged by the emperor.

This empire cannot be shaken, there can only be one throne, and two tigers cannot share one mountain.

“Father, the Third Prince is of noble status and has been in prison for so long. Please allow Fuling to go and see him.”

She seemed resigned to her fate, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

The Emperor ordered his trusted eunuch to take Gu Fuling to the imperial prison.

After Gu Fuling left, Mo Liufeng came to the Emperor's side and said, "Father, I found several unsigned letters and learned that the Third Prince of Nanhuai is infiltrating the capital. However, he is wearing a mask and disguising himself, so it will not be easy to find him."

The old emperor frowned and picked up the letters.

Upon seeing the contents, his pupils contracted instantly, and his fingers trembled slightly.
