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

Chapter 22 I am self-aware

The clothes were ripped open almost completely in an instant.

Gu Lingzhi quickly gathered her clothes together, looking at Mo Jiuxiao with a wary expression.

Seeing her utterly shocked expression, the coldness on Mo Jiuxiao's face slowly dissipated.

He released his hand that had been teasing her, then gazed at her intently: "You did a great job. Just tell me what you want!"

Gu Lingzhi's method seems simple, but it is actually quite difficult.

Under normal circumstances, as long as that person still has a rational mind, they will know that Gu Lingzhi is deliberately bluffing them.

The key to all of this lies in the words spoken by Gu Lingzhi.

The grain warehouse was set on fire.

This was their original plan. If it had remained unknown, even if Gu Lingzhi had released the person from the camp, the person would never have been so frightened.

Because if he goes back and the plan is exposed, that will be the death sentence for that man's entire family.

Even so, Gu Lingzhi was someone who could still catch his eye.

"Is what Your Highness saying true?"

A cold smile flashed across Gu Lingzhi's eyes.

Mo Jiuxiao held his teacup, looking at the woman in front of him who seemed like an unkillable cockroach, a dark glint in his eyes.

"nature."

Gu Lingzhi glanced at him thoughtfully, then suddenly stood up and walked step by step toward Mo Jiuxiao, who was sitting in a chair.

Then, she boldly hooked Mo Jiuxiao's chin with her finger: "My request is very simple, you let me force you once." Mo Jiuxiao almost crushed the teacup in his hand.

Looking at the woman's wicked smile, he realized that his previous punishment had been too lenient.

He stared at him with a dark gaze, his voice as cold as ice: "You dare!"

Of course I dare!

Although killing someone is as easy as eating and drinking for Mo Jiuxiao, Gu Lingzhi is someone who has crawled out of piles of corpses.

"Your Highness is so handsome and divine, I admire you greatly. However, I am not one to hold grudges. You treated me like that last time, so I will naturally take my revenge."

Mo Jiuxiao's dark eyes slowly rippled, and his gaze suddenly softened a little: "Alright, I agree!"

Gu Lingzhi's body stiffened.

Damn it, she's just trying to annoy him.

Shouldn't Mo Jiuxiao have lashed out now? Even if he wouldn't kill her because she's still useful, he should at least turn around and leave.

Why did you agree so easily?

Where is the dignity of the Ninth Prince?

Mo Jiuxiao glanced at her, then turned to undress: "Now?"

Gu Lingzhi: "..."

A deep voice suddenly came from outside the military tent: "Your Highness, General Sima requests an audience."

General Sima!

Gu Lingzhi's heart stirred slightly. There was probably only one person who could be called General Sima: Sima Ming.

Sima Ming had saved the emperor's life and was highly regarded by the emperor. He also had a debt of gratitude to the Zhenguo Marquis's family, so the Zhenguo Marquis betrothed Gu Fuling to him.

Even though Gu Fuling was of humble status, she was still the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenguo, and marrying Sima Ming, a general who came from humble origins, was not a bad thing.

Unfortunately, Sima Ming fell in love with Gu Fuling at first sight, but Gu Fuling didn't reciprocate his feelings. In the end, she married the Third Prince and became involved in the struggle for imperial power.

Of course, if Gu Fuling had succeeded in her previous life, she wouldn't have had any trouble in this one.

Mo Jiuxiao's gaze sharpened: "What's he doing here?"

"Your Highness, we wish to bring a female slave back to the capital for questioning!"

Female slave?

Gu Lingzhi knew without even thinking that this person was probably referring to her.

She stood behind Mo Jiuxiao, raised her head and stared at him.

If Mo Jiuxiao hands her over, she will fall into the hands of Gu Fuling, who has already lost patience, and she will definitely die.

She really is...very important.

Gu Lingzhi frowned when she saw Mo Jiuxiao.

She didn't know what he was thinking, but if Mo Jiuxiao didn't hand it over, he would inevitably offend Gu Fuling and Situ Ming.

Most importantly, Mo Jiuxiao has no reason to take such a big risk for a woman.

Mo Jiuxiao strode to the door and lifted the curtain: "Who is receiving you?"

The subordinate lowered his head and said, "It's Military Advisor Bai!"

Mo Jiuxiao's dark purple eyes held a sharp glint, and his tone was somewhat solemn: "Tell him, no one is allowed to touch my people!"

Gu Lingzhi looked at Mo Jiuxiao's profile with surprise. The man's features were mature and steady, and just looking at him quietly gave people a sense of complete peace of mind.

Given this man's extremely protective nature, her safety should be relatively guaranteed.

The subordinate immediately went to report.

Mo Jiuxiao stood at the door, his tall and slender figure resembling a towering mountain.

Gu Lingzhi raised her eyebrows, completely understanding, and said, "Isn't Your Highness being a bit penny-wise and pound-foolish? Handing me over wouldn't be a big deal!"

Mo Jiuxiao turned his head, and his silhouette, as long and winding as a distant mountain range, appeared clearly in Gu Lingzhi's eyes: "You want to go?"

Gu Lingzhi lowered her eyes: "Of course I don't want to!"

She grasped her left wrist with her right hand, stroking the mark on it, her eyes like a rippling blue lake.

"If you don't want to, why ask?"

Gu Lingzhi was shut down by a single sentence.

However, not long after, the messenger guard returned.

"Your Highness, General Sima is here with his men!"

Mo Jiuxiao reached out and grasped the long sword that his subordinates had previously pulled out and hung on the military tent.

His eyes revealed a deep sense of danger, and his left hand gripped the hilt of the long sword tightly.

The knife had a slightly curved blade with numerous grooves for bleeding. The blade itself had a dark golden sheen and was covered with ancient and mysterious patterns.

The longsword was very simple and heavy. Although Gu Lingzhi had never touched it before, she knew that it must be very heavy when she saw Mo Jiuxiao holding it with his left hand.

Considering the previous incident where a single strike pierced through a person, the blade must have been incredibly sharp.

The messenger had barely finished speaking when a massive force of over a thousand men appeared behind them. The military tents, which were originally sparsely distributed, suddenly became crowded with the addition of over a thousand people.

Mo Jiuxiao's subordinates also gathered around, and the two groups of people formed a standoff not far from Mo Jiuxiao's military tent.

Because of her position, Gu Lingzhi could only barely see the two figures trapped inside the military tent through the gaps in the tent.

The other person wearing dark soft armor should be Situ Ming.

Situ Ming was not particularly handsome. He had a rough, unrefined air about him, and his features were very ordinary. He was the kind of person you would never notice in a crowd.

However, the murderous aura emanating from him revealed that this person was definitely not as harmless as he appeared.

It has to be said that Gu Fuling really knew how to choose people; regardless of his past or present life, Situ Ming ultimately died for her.

In his past life, he risked his life to plead for the Third Prince when the Third Prince was imprisoned for rebelling, braving dangers that no one else dared to take.

In this life, he devoted himself to Gu Fuling's military strategy and even died for her.

"Little girl, if someone sees you and takes you away, don't blame the prince for not protecting you."

The voice behind me was gentle and soothing, warming my heart.

As she turned her head, she saw the tent curtain being lifted, revealing a pair of fox-like eyes.

Despite having a gentle and refined temperament, Bai Lianchuan has a pair of long, narrow, upturned fox-like eyes that give the impression that he is always smiling.

"Military Advisor Bai?"

Gu Lingzhi was slightly surprised.

"The prince is protecting you like this, aren't you grateful?"

Gratitude? He was just looking at her like he wanted to kill her, but he's keeping her alive and doesn't know how he plans to use her.

“The prince cares about his reputation. If someone were to take me away in front of him, it would be a slap in his face.”

Bai Lianchuan shook his head helplessly: "You are quite insightful."

She said, "I am self-aware."

The difference in their social status is now like heaven and earth. She doesn't think that sleeping with him for one night will be enough to steal his heart.

Bai Lianchuan smiled without saying a word, his face full of shrewdness.

As they were talking, something happened over there, and the two leaders suddenly started fighting.

The battle over there is becoming increasingly fierce.

Situ Ming is indeed someone whom even Mo Jiuxiao greatly admires; his martial arts skills are extremely high.

However, Gu Lingzhi could tell that Mo Jiuxiao hadn't used his full strength at all.

Not long after, with a loud collision, the sword in Situ Ming's hand shattered into two pieces.

He was so shocked that he took two steps back and almost stumbled and fell.

"Everyone says that Your Highness is highly skilled in martial arts and possesses immense strength. After witnessing it today, I am filled with admiration."

Mo Jiuxiao sheathed his sword.

Gu Lingzhi stared at his back, pondering to herself, but also shared her thoughts with Bai Lianchuan beside her.

"Your prince is not left-handed, is he?"

"of course not."

"What about the injury on his hand?" Gu Lingzhi turned her head, looking at Bai Lianchuan with a puzzled expression, only to see Bai Lianchuan shake his head and say calmly, "That wound, he cut himself!"

Gu Lingzhi was somewhat incredulous.

The wound was so deep that the bone was visible. Could it be that he was trying to commit suicide?

Probably not. With Mo Jiuxiao's personality, he'd be more likely to kill others than kill everyone else in the world.
