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

Chapter 18 Unequal Distribution of Spoils

She turned around and took Mo Chen in her hand.

Having thoroughly disinfected the dagger, she sat by the bed and placed a bowl of medicinal soup in front of the man.

The person on the bed had a pair of eyes as dark as ink, their black pupils like black gemstones.

Knowing that the other person was not very old, Gu Lingzhi said in a low voice as if coaxing a child, "Come on, drink this obediently, and the pain will go away."

The man moved his lips, blinked, opened his mouth, and drank all the medicine in Gu Lingzhi's bowl without spilling a drop. Soon after, he fell asleep.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Gu Lingzhi, her skillful hands moving swiftly and deftly.

The area on the man's face that had already begun to fester was quickly cleaned up by Gu Lingzhi, leaving only clean flesh and blood.

"Can you do that?"

At this moment, Gu Lingzhi noticed that many doctors were looking at her with fervent eyes. Although they had been somewhat unconvinced before, now they all seemed eager to kneel before her and become her disciples.

She applied medicine to the face of the person on the bed and bandaged it up.

However, no matter how beautiful her bandages were, the person still became a mummy.

Seeing that the doctors didn't dare to breathe, Gu Lingzhi clapped her hands: "You've all seen my treatment method. If you can't even do this..."

She didn't say the rest, but her words carried a strong sense of threat.

"It's possible, it's feasible..."

The doctors rushed over, each one busy running around.

After all, it was just basic external wound treatment, something these people must have done many times before, and the wounds on that person's body had clearly been treated.

It was probably because of these repeated incidents, coupled with the extreme pain involved in treating the wound, that it took so long to recover.

Because the military tent was too small, Gu Lingzhi didn't wait inside; instead, she came out.

The air outside was fresh. She wiped her forehead and turned her head to see Mo Jiuxiao standing behind her.

Gu Lingzhi's heart skipped a beat; she was startled. She said angrily, "Does Your Highness walk without making a sound?"

"It's because you can't hear well."

Mo Jiuxiao left behind a single sentence, instantly choking Gu Lingzhi into silence.

She decided to be magnanimous and not pursue the matter further: "The poison on that person's body is called 'Returning to Dust,' which means that in the end, one will return to dust. Isn't the name beautiful? It will cause a person to rot from the skin down to the internal organs, and finally turn into a pool of pus and blood."

Mo Jiuxiao frowned.

"how do you know?"

Gu Lingzhi smiled faintly, a hint of mystery hidden within her smile.

"Of course I know, otherwise how would I detoxify?"

She once received a medical book from a teacher, which recorded countless poisons and their antidotes. Although she didn't need it, she had a good memory and remembered almost everything after only reading it a few times.

Gu Lingzhi's eyes showed some curiosity: "Your Highness is so concerned about that person, he must be more than just a savior. Just who is he to Your Highness?"

A cold smile crept across Mo Jiuxiao's lips. He gently lifted Gu Lingzhi's chin with his fingers, his dark purple eyes looking at her indifferently: "This is none of your business."

Gu Lingzhi grabbed his wrist: "Your Highness is right, I won't interfere."

Suddenly, the sound of running footsteps came from the side, and a messenger soldier quickly came to Mo Jiuxiao: "Your Highness, the prisoner that General Zhao interrogated has important information to say."

Mo Jiuxiao suddenly turned to look at him: "Take the man to the military tent."

Gu Lingzhi's heart skipped a beat; she suddenly sensed something was wrong.

Mo Jiuxiao led Gu Lingzhi back into the military tent. As soon as the curtain moved, two soldiers knelt on the ground, pressing down a person covered in blood whose face was unrecognizable.

"Your Majesty, the person has been brought here."

The man looked up, his eyes filled with a sinister glint as he stared at Gu Lingzhi.

Gu Lingzhi recognized the man's identity from his eyes; it was the man who had tried to kill her last night.

Mo Jiuxiao put down the now-cold tea and looked at Gu Lingzhi with half-closed eyes.

“Your Highness, it’s her. She’s an important contact for me, but who knew she wanted to sell me to gain Your Highness’s trust.”

The soldiers standing on either side behind her looked at Gu Lingzhi with righteous indignation after hearing this.

Gu Lingzhi had a lot of swear words in her mind, but she didn't know whether she should say them or not.

This man was clearly on the verge of death, yet he still wanted to drag others down with him. Naturally, she, the culprit who pushed him to his death, wouldn't let her go and smeared her with layer after layer of filth.

Gu Lingzhi's face flushed slightly with anger: "Your Highness, one-sided statements cannot be trusted. I am just a female slave, what use am I? To say I am a contact person, I am now powerless and could die at any time. The people of Nanhuai must be stupid to make me a spy."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers realized that there was some truth to what she said.

However, one of them suddenly spoke up: "Your Highness, the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion ended up like this because it colluded with the Nanhuai Alliance and the Crown Prince to seize the throne. It's inevitable that she has some shady relationship with the people of Nanhuai. This person happened to be alone in a military tent that day. Who knows if the two of them didn't divide the spoils equally, which led to this farce?"
