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

Chapter 122 Overturning the Case

Murong Zhe raised the corners of his lips, a faint smile flashing in his eyes: "I never expected that the dignified Ninth Prince would have such a childish side."

The strategist standing to the side wiped away his cold sweat: "Your Highness, anyone would be angry to see their woman being coveted by someone else!"

Clearly, Murong Zhe had anticipated this scenario.

"Let him smash it if he wants, it won't make a difference!"

He shook his fan, a cold glint in his eyes: "What did Gu Fuling say?"

"Your Highness, the Third Prince's wife is very angry about your sudden defection to help Gu Lingzhi."

"angry?"

A flash of anger crossed Murong Zhe's eyes. After a period of investigation, he vaguely sensed that the locations under his command were being secretly investigated.

Those who were arrested were clearly Gu Fuling's people.

"How dare you try to play tricks on me, the prince! You'll have to learn how to pay the price!"

Gu Lingzhi had no idea that the words she unintentionally uttered would attract Murong Zhe's attention in advance, and that Gu Fuling would take the blame for everything.

Mo Jiuxiao returned from Yingchun Tower with his men.

The bright red decorations throughout the manor hadn't been taken down yet, and some guards rushed forward to pay their respects when they saw the prince return.

Mo Jiuxiao raised an eyebrow slightly: "Where is your princess?"

A maidservant, still carrying some things in her hands, said with her head down, "We went to the hot springs in the back mountain!"

Mo Jiuxiao dismissed the guards behind him, gently smoothed his clothes, pursed his lips slightly, and strode into the mountain valley.

This villa boasts exceptionally beautiful scenery and is one of Mo Jiuxiao's top properties in the capital.

It's even more beautiful than the Emperor's Summer Palace.

If Mo Jiuxiao hadn't secured this place beforehand, the Emperor probably wouldn't have given it up so easily.

There is a natural hot spring at the top of the mountain.

Mo Jiuxiao simply arranged for a bathing pool to be built next to the hot spring. Because it was all running water, the pool was very clean and clear.

The rising steam floated in the air, dispelling all the chill. Gu Lingzhi soaked comfortably in it, leaning back against the shore.

This place offers an absolutely unparalleled experience.

Everywhere you look is green, and even the air smells fresh.

Suddenly, a figure approached.

She turned around abruptly and saw the maid carefully placing the clothes to the side: "Your Highness, the clothes are ready."

Gu Lingzhi didn't like having anyone watching her, so she waved her hand at the maid and said, "Okay, go down."

A breeze blew.

Gu Lingzhi closed her eyes again.

But suddenly her shoulder felt heavy, and she instinctively raised her hand and grabbed the other person's wrist.

"Lingzhi!"

A familiar voice came from above her head, and Gu Lingzhi gently tilted her head back: "You're back?"

Mo Jiuxiao nodded.

He didn't say anything, but withdrew his hand and began to unbutton his clothes.

Gu Lingzhi stared at him with wide eyes, puzzled: "Mo... Jiuxiao, what are you doing?"

"bath!"

The man remained remarkably calm, even his fingers moving methodically as he unbuttoned his shirt.

Gu Lingzhi's cheeks suddenly turned red.

Although the two were already married, Gu Lingzhi was still not used to exposing her body in front of others.

"Um... I'm done washing, you can continue!"

She tried to run away as if fleeing, but Mo Jiuxiao grabbed her hand.

"Together!"

It felt different from the feeling at the border.

Although there was an experience where I was forced to go into the same bathtub with him, our relationship wasn't that intimate back then.

Gu Lingzhi glanced at his wrist, but relaxed her body slightly.

Gu Lingzhi smiled and said, "I didn't expect Your Highness to have this kind of taste."

Mo Jiuxiao directly took off his outer robe, revealing his upper body with some scars. His honey-colored skin concealed boundless power, and his long black hair was draped behind him. Paired with his cold and exquisite face, he gave people an indescribable sense of allure.

Gu Lingzhi was momentarily stunned by what she saw.

But in an instant, her gaze suddenly fell on his wrist.

The scar is still there; even though she has healed it, it still leaves an indelible mark.

Gu Lingzhi touched her wrist.

This scar should be removed.

Unconsciously, her eyes drifted into a daze, and she didn't even realize when Mo Jiuxiao had approached her.

Gu Lingzhi felt a tightness around her waist as she leaned against Mo Jiuxiao.

The warmth instantly reached her heart, and he felt his heart pounding wildly.

However, she quickly regained her composure and tried to relax, saying, "What happened to the wound on Your Highness's wrist? Military Advisor Bai said that Your Highness injured himself..."

With some doubts in her heart, she raised her head and stared intently into Mo Jiuxiao's eyes.

She sensed that he harbored endless secrets.

Mo Jiuxiao gently patted her head: "Do you really want to know?"

Gu Lingzhi nodded emphatically.

Of course she wanted to know.

Mo Jiuxiao pulled her close and whispered in her ear, "Then can you tell me where you learned those things?"

Gu Lingzhi's eyes widened suddenly.

Feeling that she had been tricked, she glared angrily at Mo Jiuxiao.

Mo Jiuxiao's expression remained calm, even somewhat innocent, which infuriated Gu Lingzhi.

The other person's words clearly indicated that they did not intend to tell her this private taboo, and she, too, had her own unspeakable difficulties.

Perhaps one day in the future, when she truly confesses these things, I fear...

With her head slightly lowered, Gu Lingzhi looked utterly dejected.

Mo Jiuxiao gently brushed the hair from her temple and kissed her forehead.

Gu Lingzhi shuddered slightly and gently grasped his wrist.

"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it, but in the future, you must never hurt yourself!"

Gu Lingzhi said this with a serious expression.

She pressed her lips tightly together, her gaze fixed on Mo Jiuxiao's face, filled with an indescribable emotion.

Mo Jiuxiao didn't say anything, but gently pulled the person into his arms.

A mist instantly enveloped the two figures, and in the quiet, deserted mountain stream, sounds that made one blush and their heart race could be heard shortly afterward.

The couple were newlyweds, but outside, things had turned upside down.

The current imperial advisor, in front of all the officials, presented evidence regarding that secret letter from years ago.

The recipient's name was hidden on the back of the letter.

The news caused an uproar throughout the entire imperial court.

The Third Prince's new residence was almost overwhelmed by the officials, and Gu Fuling was immediately placed under house arrest in the palace.

Gu Lingzhi was somewhat surprised when she received this news.

After all, she had searched for many days without finding any trace of what happened back then. She never expected that Yue Shuyi would find the evidence so easily.

But upon closer reflection, she realized the truth.

This must be something Murong Zhe has on Gu Fuling, something he intends to use to threaten her later. It's just unclear why he would use it at this time.

Regardless of the reason, the current situation is very favorable to her.

As a victim from back then, Gu Lingzhi had many ministers hear her words about Murong Zhe at the wedding. Combined with this, it was enough to prove the innocence of the Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion back then.

She wasn't about to let such a great opportunity slip by, so she quickly packed her things and headed to the palace.

Now that Gu Lingzhi has become the Ninth Prince's Consort, entering the palace is easy for her. Guided by a eunuch, Gu Lingzhi stepped directly into the Golden Palace.

Mo Jiuxiao stood by and accompanied them. The palace servants and guards dared not neglect them. After announcing their arrival, they led the two inside.

The civil and military officials stood on both sides, and when Gu Lingzhi entered, all their eyes turned to her.

Gu Lingzhi wore a light purple princess robe with gold patterns, and her hair was adorned with an exquisite phoenix tail hairpin. Her whole body exuded an aura of nobility.

The Emperor lowered his eyes, glanced at Gu Lingzhi, and his eye twitched slightly.

"Gu Lingzhi, why have you come to the Golden Palace?"

Gu Lingzhi lowered her eyes slightly, her eyes shining with determination and resolve: "I have come today, naturally, to seek justice for the Gu family!"

The news that Gu Fuling had framed the Gu family had already spread like wildfire throughout the capital, but the current emperor did not expect Gu Lingzhi to arrive so quickly.

Before he could find a way to deal with it, Gu Lingzhi struck first.

"Speak, what grievance do you have?"

Gu Lingzhi raised her head, a slight smile playing on her lips: "First, the Gu family did not rebel back then; second, they did not join forces with the Crown Prince; and third, apart from Gu Fuling, everyone in the Gu family is innocent!"

Gu Lingzhi spoke clearly and clearly, reciting all of these words.

She had been waiting for this day for a long time, and she never thought it would finally come.

The old emperor's eyes deepened. He narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a long time: "On what grounds? Your father confessed to this matter back then. Now, no matter what, your Gu family cannot escape responsibility. Even if the person who received the letter was Gu Fuling, so what? Isn't she a member of your Gu family?"

Gu Lingzhi's eyes sharpened: "Confess? Why have I never heard of this before? Does Your Majesty have any evidence to prove that my father really confessed?"

There was no sign of backing down in her eyes.

It was as if she would not give up until she received an explanation today.

Mo Jiuxiao stood beside her, a hint of relief in his eyes: "Royal brother, today, I also want an explanation!"

He stood with his hands behind his back, but his eyes were fixed on Gu Lingzhi, clearly indicating that he was going to support her.

Gu Lingzhi, who was already quick-witted, was difficult to deal with, but now Mo Jiuxiao has joined the fray.

The old emperor immediately felt a headache coming on.

He ultimately wanted to protect Gu Fuling, simply because Gu Fuling now had his grandson, and if anything happened to her, his grandson would not survive either.

"Bring Gu Fuling here!"
