Chapter 16 revealed a mistake.

Mo Jiuxiao's entire body seemed to exude a chilling aura.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed the eunuch by the collar.

Those narrow eyes held a furious rage as deep as ink, yet his voice remained remarkably calm.

"Do you think you can just walk into my military tent like that?"

The eunuch pleaded for mercy, "Your Highness, I came to your military tent to inquire about a few things on behalf of my mistress, but I was surprised to find you not here..."

His words clearly implied that he was bringing up Gu Fuling to make Mo Jiuxiao wary.

After all, unless Mo Jiuxiao is a fool, he would definitely see through this lie.

only……

"How dare you insult my people?"

When Mo Jiuxiao said these words, Gu Lingzhi was instantly stunned.

The eunuch realized what Mo Jiuxiao had said and his eyes widened in astonishment. However, in that instant, he was sent flying.

It really does fly...

He flew straight out of the tent's main gate, crashed heavily to the ground, and then coughed up two mouthfuls of blood.

The other two eunuchs didn't dare to make a sound. They scrambled to their feet and ran outside to help the purple-robed eunuch up.

The eunuch's legs were so weak that he couldn't get up from the ground for a long time. Judging from his posture, he definitely had more than two broken ribs.

Gu Lingzhi tried her best to suppress her laughter, but her shoulders trembled slightly.

Mo Jiuxiao squinted and turned to look at her.

"Is it funny?"

Gu Lingzhi: "..."

She looked up at Mo Jiuxiao, her heart pounding wildly.

Sometimes, it's as if the other person can read minds; they seem to know exactly what she's thinking.

Mo Jiuxiao finally looked away from Gu Lingzhi's terrified gaze and took the long sword that was slung across his waist and placed it next to the table.

"come over!"

As he spoke, Gu Lingzhi felt a shiver run through her.

She got out of bed at a leisurely pace.

Barefoot on the red carpet, her snow-white, translucent skin looked like white jade against the red backdrop.

She stepped behind Mo Jiuxiao.

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Mo Jiuxiao placed his right hand on the table, his eyes devoid of any emotion as he looked at her: "Someone bullied you, and you didn't know how to fight back?"

Gu Lingzhi was stunned, she couldn't believe that Mo Jiuxiao had actually said these words: "Women use words, not fists."

Mo Jiuxiao snorted coldly: "When you fight me, you never hold back."

Gu Lingzhi knew she had no right to refute the other party's words, so she turned around and stood opposite Mo Jiuxiao.

As she looked down, her gaze fell on Mo Jiuxiao's wrist.

The man's wrist was very strong, but it had a deep scar.

"This wound must have been there for at least a year!"

Gu Lingzhi asked, and seeing that Mo Jiuxiao did not refute her, she knew that what she said was correct.

The wound looked like it had healed, and he could do what a normal person would do. But Gu Lingzhi had just witnessed Mo Jiuxiao throw an adult out with just his left hand.

His hand has the strength of at least several hundred kilograms.

But last time, when the other party grabbed her neck with his right hand, she felt that the force of Mo Jiuxiao's right hand was obviously wrong.

“If the tendons and veins are damaged and allowed to grow and close on their own, this method can easily leave sequelae.”

Mo Jiuxiao stared at her: "Continue."

When Gu Lingzhi heard Mo Jiuxiao asking her professional questions, she suddenly became bolder and started using a string of technical terms, completely forgetting where she was.

"Your Highness, in order to completely heal you, I will reopen your wounds that have not yet healed and stitch up the tendons. This process will be somewhat painful, and there is no anesthetic here, so you will have to bear with it."

Mo Jiuxiao pursed his thin lips slightly, "Any other nonsense to say?"

Gu Lingzhi's remaining words were stuck in her throat.

She only meant well by saying a few more words, but she didn't expect to be treated with such disdain.

A hint of malice flashed in her eyes.

"Since Your Highness doesn't care, then I have nothing more to say. Please lend me that dagger from last time, as well as the needle and thread you saw last time. But since you are a prince, you should use the best. I will write it down on a piece of paper in a moment. Just come find me when everything is ready!"

Mo Jiuxiao nodded and calmly withdrew his hand.

He squinted at Gu Lingzhi, his tone revealing a strong sense of suspicion.

"As far as I know, that Grand Tutor Lu doesn't possess such bizarre medical skills as you!"

Gu Lingzhi was taken aback. She chuckled softly, concealing the glint in her eyes: "Grand Tutor Lu is merely hiding his true abilities. With such medical skills, how could those high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital possibly accept them?"

Gu Lingzhi's words were cleverly chosen.

Although the people of Beiyi Kingdom are open-minded, they still believe in the idea that one's body and hair are given to one's parents.

To operate on them is no better than taking their lives.

Mo Jiuxiao stared intently at Gu Lingzhi, his eyes filled with deep inquiry and contemplation.

Gu Lingzhi dared not dodge, her eyes fixed on him without blinking.

A chill ran down her spine, as if someone had seen right through her. But Mo Jiuxiao didn't really know her, and she felt that no matter what the other person asked, she could answer fluently.

Mo Jiuxiao parted his thin lips slightly, his narrow eyes slowly narrowing, revealing his undisguised suspicion: "Unfortunately, Grand Tutor Lu is my mentor!"

Gu Lingzhi: "..."

Her lips were pursed, and her mind was blank.

I never expected that my carefully prepared lie would be exposed so easily!
