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

Chapter 15: Doesn't he even know his place?

Although she was outside the Great Wall, Gu Lingzhi knew that this era must have had carrier pigeons.

Some messages can travel back and forth in a single day if things go smoothly.

Gu Lingzhi never expected that Gu Fuling, who was in the palace, would receive the news so soon after she had demonstrated her medical skills at the border.

A cold glint flashed in her eyes, confirming that Gu Fuling had been secretly watching her all along.

However, Gu Lingzhi had already considered this answer.

“What I have learned, how could your master possibly know? Back then, she was not even as good as a maid in my Marquis’s mansion. My teacher, Grand Tutor Lu, already possessed medical skills that were renowned throughout the capital in his early years. What’s wrong with him privately teaching me some things?”

Gu Lingzhi raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with arrogance.

What she said was half true and half false. It was true that Grand Tutor Lu knew medicine, but he had never taught Gu Lingzhi.

However, that Grand Tutor had passed away three years ago, so as the saying goes, the dead cannot testify, and the other party had no way to investigate.

The eunuch's face was filled with resentment at the answer he had finally received.

The eunuch said in a shrill voice, "Gu Lingzhi, I advise you to stop playing tricks."

Gu Lingzhi dared not provoke Mo Jiuxiao, but she had never been afraid of this eunuch. Moreover, she had just obtained a pardon from death, and she should not be in any danger of losing her life while she was healing that person.

As long as Mo Jiuxiao doesn't want her dead, it's likely that no one can really do anything to her here.

Leaning against the headboard with a slightly languid air, Gu Lingzhi rested her chin on one hand, her long hair cascading down, her eyes filled with a touch of allure.

She didn't believe these people would dare to stay here for long.

With a slight smile, Gu Lingzhi chuckled softly, "Isn't your Third Prince's Consort busy dealing with the concubines in the Third Prince's residence? How come she has time to worry about border affairs? Besides, she didn't arrange for you to stay here just to keep an eye on me, did she?"

Now that the Marquis of Zhenguo's mansion has fallen, how could Gu Fuling, who has become the Third Prince's wife, possibly have the mind to look after her? If it weren't for the serious trouble she caused recently, Gu Fuling probably wouldn't have suddenly raised such a question.

The eunuch's face immediately showed an angry expression: "What our master does is none of your business!"

Gu Lingzhi wasn't in a hurry. She chatted with the eunuch, and every word she said was pointed at him: "Why can't we ask about it? Logically speaking, she should have been involved in the confiscation and extermination of the Gu family. Even though she is now married to a prince, she is still a member of the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion!"

The eunuch took the bait.

"What do you mean our Lady has a share? If it weren't for our Lady, how could everyone have known about the treacherous deeds of your Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion?"

Although Gu Lingzhi already knew the truth, she still couldn't help but sigh when she heard the eunuch's words.

Gu Fuling has labeled herself as someone who puts her own family before her own, which has earned her countless praises. Now even the Emperor is fond of her. She has an excellent reputation, but behind the scenes, she is doing things that truly betray her country and collude with the enemy.

Gu Lingzhi found the book interesting while reading it.

It's true that Gu Fuling's past life was miserable and that she was bullied by Gu Lingzhi, but in this life, Gu Lingzhi really didn't do anything to Gu Fuling.

People are born unequal, and Gu Fuling and Gu Lingzhi are no exception.

And what right did she have to frame Gu Lingzhi in this lifetime?

Gu Lingzhi was born into nobility in her previous life, while Gu Fuling was merely the product of an accident—the Marquis of Zhenguo's one-night stand with a maid—and naturally, she had a very tragic childhood.

In her previous life, thirteen-year-old Gu Lingzhi found Gu Fuling's poetry collection and became a famous talented woman and beauty in the capital. Meanwhile, Gu Fuling, who was disfigured when she was a child, could only silently admire Gu Lingzhi's charm from the mud.

Gu Lingzhi could feel that extreme jealousy and resentment from the book.

At the time, Gu Lingzhi only read it as a novel for entertainment. She just wanted to see how a woman who knew her future would turn her life around.

Then she saw it.

Then... she transmigrated into the body of Gu Fuling, the cannon fodder female supporting character who turned her life around.

"Whether the Marquis of Zhenguo's mansion has colluded with the enemy or betrayed the country, she knows it herself. No matter how well she disguises herself, she is still an ingrate."

Her eyes turned cold and sharp, and the words "ungrateful wretch" were uttered from her lips with a strong sense of sarcasm.

The eunuch's face turned ashen with rage, and he said directly, "Don't you know your place? How dare you slander the Empress? Guards, slap her!"

He was so angry he lost his mind. The two eunuchs behind him responded and walked towards Gu Lingzhi with their heads down. Gu Lingzhi sat motionless on the bed, looking at him with a half-smile.

A shadow fell from behind.

The two eunuchs stopped in their tracks and suddenly knelt on the ground.

The eunuch was stunned, somewhat surprised that his subordinate hadn't made a move. The moment he turned around, he saw a handsome, icy face.

The eunuch's lips trembled slightly.

Gu Lingzhi vaguely saw the fear in his eyes.

The anger that had been building up inside eased somewhat.

She had wasted so much breath just to keep him around a little longer. Now that she was in the military tent, she didn't believe that Mo Jiuxiao wouldn't come back during the day.

"Ninth... Ninth Prince!"

The eunuch's knees buckled, and he knelt directly on the ground.
