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

Chapter 26 is heartbreaking to read.

The two people were whispering to each other.

Eunuch Li was tired and didn't have the mind to keep an eye on the interrogation, so he went to rest. As a result, several people took turns watching and interrogating her.

The whip kept striking her body, and Gu Lingzhi fainted and woke up repeatedly, only to faint again very quickly.

Her physical strength had dropped to its limit; Gu Lingzhi's lips were cracked and dry, and she could barely utter a sound.

But the two men who were watching over her at night were plotting something lewd.

“You’re right. She’s covered in wounds, so no one should notice. Besides, if we force her to reveal it, my father-in-law will definitely praise us.”

"That's right, let's go take a look."

Gu Lingzhi lowered her eyelids as she watched the two men walk towards her.

"What do you want to do?"

Her voice was weak; if it weren't for the quiet of the night, it would have been impossible for anyone to hear her.

"Little beauty, just press your handprint, be a good girl and do as I say, but let us have some fun first. You're so beautiful, it breaks our hearts to see you like this!"

As they were talking, someone disgustingly tried to put their hand on her face.

At this moment, Gu Lingzhi coughed a few times, and a mouthful of bloody foam came out of her mouth and sprayed directly onto the man's face.

The man's expression immediately changed; he wanted to yell at them, but was afraid of alerting others.

Looking up, he saw Gu Lingzhi calmly say, "I'm tied up, so there's nothing you can do to me!"

Her voice was very soft, but the two people heard it clearly.

Unexpectedly, Gu Lingzhi did not resist. The two men were delighted, as this made things even easier.

Otherwise, they would have to think of a way to prevent Gu Lingzhi from shouting it out.

"Wait here, I'll untie you."

Two lustful men, one supporting Gu Lingzhi and the other stepping on a stool to put her down.

With a loosening of his arm, the rope came undone.

Gu Lingzhi lowered her eyelids and barely moved her wrist.

My wrists were numb and I couldn't feel them after hanging them up all night.

With her hands immobile and no strength in her body, Gu Lingzhi was now in dire straits.

She was placed on the ground, and Gu Lingzhi opened her eyes to glance at the two figures in the darkness.

One hand grabbed the ribbon around her waist, about to untie her clothes.

"Didn't you want me to sign that petition?"

She suddenly lifted it up, causing the two of them to pause in their movements.

The two then looked delighted.

"No rush, no rush, we can sign after we're done having fun."

Gu Lingzhi's face darkened: "Before I change my mind..."

Seeing the look in Gu Lingzhi's eyes, the man realized that Gu Lingzhi couldn't pull any tricks. She was already in such a sorry state that no woman could possibly struggle against her.

One person watched her while the other went to get pen and ink.

Gu Lingzhi tried to reach for the pen, but found that she couldn't exert any force at all.

She glanced at the two of them with some difficulty: "The petition requires my handwriting. Putting my fingerprint on it will be useless, but I can't move my hands at all right now."

The two men were already completely infatuated with Gu Lingzhi: "What should we do then? Perhaps we should put this matter aside for now..."

Gu Lingzhi narrowed her eyes.

His slender eyes gave him a sharp and alluring look, making the two of them unable to resist.

"Let you go? If I die and your father-in-law doesn't get what he wants, do you think he'll let you go?"

"You...what do you mean?"

Gu Lingzhi tried to relax her wrists as she calculated how long it would take for her hands to recover.

"I'll give you the things. Whether I live or die is none of your father-in-law's concern. Then you can have your fun, won't you?"

She looked at the two of them with a half-smile, her voice soft yet clear.

The two men looked rather grim.

They initially thought they could get their hands on the beauty's body, but then they realized that if Gu Lingzhi actually signed the petition, they could do whatever they wanted.

If Gu Lingzhi accidentally bites her tongue and commits suicide while doing *that*, they'll be in deep trouble.

"It's still early, why don't we wait a bit longer?"

"Okay, then let's wait."

Gu Lingzhi sat on the ground, leaning against the wall, her whole body in a defensive posture, her eyes closed as she rested.

She was in pain all over her body, so much so that she couldn't concentrate on thinking about how to escape.

She was new to the place and unfamiliar with everyone. The novel only mentioned some place names; it couldn't possibly explain the directions clearly.

An hour passed.

The numbness and pain in her hand had subsided. She raised her arm and looked at it; the color of her congested hand had gradually faded.

I moved my fingertips; it was a little difficult, but it was a good thing.

The two of them were getting impatient.

"It's almost dawn. In another hour, the replacements will arrive. They won't have our patience. Are you going to sign or not?"

Gu Lingzhi struggled to move her hands.

"Almost done, just give me another incense stick's time."

Watching Gu Lingzhi pick up the pen and make the movements with great effort, the two of them, though exhausted of patience, decided not to press her any further, thinking they still had some time.

Gu Lingzhi narrowed her eyes, her gaze lingering on the tip of the pen for a moment.

This pen has a slender tip and is made of solid wood.

While exercising, she secretly rubbed the tip of her pen on a piece of granite on the ground.

Although it didn't have much effect, neither of the two people knew what she was doing.

Gu Lingzhi slowly raised her eyes, looked around, and carefully analyzed the location of the courtyard.

From the moment she rode her horse all the way here, she hadn't heard any loud noises, indicating that this was just a remote mountain village.

Although the journey was quite long, it wasn't actually that long, and considering the horse's speed, the distance to the military camp wasn't very far.

It's quiet outside now; everyone has gone to rest, leaving only two people watching over her.

She wanted to escape.

Gu Lingzhi made up her mind and said to one of the two people, "I'm so thirsty, I want to drink water!"

The two looked at each other.

Gu Lingzhi raised an eyebrow: "I have no strength left right now. Do you intend to commit necrophilia?"

Her words were quite playful, yet they managed to get one of them to do something.

"Wait here, I'll go get it for you!"

Gu Lingzhi certainly didn't expect to wait for him to come back.

As soon as that person left, Gu Lingzhi beckoned to the only person left in the room.

"Come here!"

The man was stunned. When he saw Gu Lingzhi smiling and covered in blood, his throat involuntarily moved.

He walked up to Gu Lingzhi.

"I have something to say to you, so come closer. I don't want that person to hear me."

Her eyes were clear and her face was harmless, so the guard had no suspicions whatsoever.

Gu Lingzhi bowed slightly, but her hand gripped the end of the brush tightly.

She had already plucked out the hairs, leaving only the somewhat sharp tail. The guard was skeptical and never even considered what Gu Lingzhi would do.

He leaned closer, his eyes full of curiosity.

Gu Lingzhi was different from the previous prisoners, and she was extremely beautiful, which made it easy for people to lower their guard.

In just a moment, he was unable to speak anymore.

The pen in Gu Lingzhi's hand pierced his throat.

With air leaking from his throat and his vocal cords damaged, the man lay on the ground clutching his throat in pain, unable to utter a sound. Gu Lingzhi, having landed a successful blow, staggered to her feet.

Moonlight streamed through the cracks in the window, falling on her face. She curled her lips into a smile, her body flushed crimson, like a beautiful yet alluring ghost.

"Still want to touch me? I'm got thorns!"

Gu Lingzhi pursed her lips, whispered something in his ear, and turned to push open the door that the man had opened to fetch water.

Perhaps because there were people watching inside, no one would think that Gu Lingzhi could beat a strong and muscular man.

Gu Lingzhi's wrist was still very painful, but after enduring the pain and massaging it to relieve the pain, she was able to move it freely not long ago.

However, Gu Lingzhi was not in a hurry to leave.

She looked around the room and fixed her gaze on a rather tall cabinet. Although it was somewhat obvious, the more dangerous the place, the safer it might be.

There are definitely patrols outside; she's practically asking for death by going out like that.

She flung open the window of the outer room, then squeezed into the closet and held her breath.

Not long after she had hidden herself, a loud shout came from the courtyard.

"The prisoner has escaped! Oh no! The prisoner has escaped!"

The shout came from the person who was fetching water.

Gu Lingzhi's mouth was full of the taste of blood; she was truly thirsty and hungry.

Moreover, after all the commotion during the day, she even developed a fever.

Her forehead was burning hot; she had been holding on entirely by willpower. Now that she relaxed, all her strength vanished, and she leaned there limply.

My lips are dry, and my vision is blurry.

She tapped her head with her scarred hands, trying to clear her mind.

"Quick, after them! Where did they run off to?!"

"The window is open here, search!"

There were footsteps outside the house, but no one thought of this room.

Because the entire room is clean with only this one cabinet, the chances of someone hiding there being found are too high, and basically no one would risk that much danger.

Therefore, those people concluded that Gu Lingzhi had escaped.

The courtyard was searched inch by inch, but no trace was found. Some guards were sent outside to continue the search. Even Eunuch Li, who was resting in the house inside, was alarmed by the search.

The room where Gu Lingzhi was hiding was the living room. Opening the door led directly to the courtyard. She didn't see what was outside, but she felt it must be quite large.

Otherwise, those people wouldn't have searched for so long.

The living room connects to three rooms. The small dark room was probably used to store miscellaneous items, while Eunuch Li lived in the main room.

Although the main house is connected to this side by a passage, the people protecting Eunuch Li all stayed inside the room and did not stay outside.

A group of people gathered in the living room. Eunuch Li's voice was filled with boundless anger: "Kneel down! You two good-for-nothings, what are you good for? You can't even keep an eye on a woman."

"Sir, he's injured! Please save him!"

"She deserved to die! You two, tell me, how did she get down from the beam? If you can't answer, you can forget about your heads!"

Hearing that shrill, androgynous voice, Gu Lingzhi almost laughed.

She was thinking in a daze when she suddenly felt a tickle in her throat.
