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

Chapter 30 My things were touched

Gu Lingzhi shook her head, her mind still a little muddled at the sight before her.

However, she didn't linger for long. Dragging her body, which seemed to have lost control, she continued forward.

If Buddha gets in my way, I'll kill him; if demon gets in my way, I'll slay him.

No one present expected that Gu Lingzhi's frail body could unleash such great energy. Her moves were extremely strange, and even a well-trained guard couldn't withstand three of her moves.

All sensation in her body seemed to vanish in an instant; she was like a walking corpse sustained by a single purpose.

Her vision was completely red, as if she had lost her mind.

Gu Lingzhi was the only thought in his mind.

Kill that damned eunuch in front of you!

Gu Lingzhi tensed up, but suddenly lost the ability to see.

Whoosh...

Just then, a barrage of arrows appeared out of nowhere, and the guards who tried to help screamed in agony as they all fell into pools of blood.

Behind Gu Lingzhi, two more people collapsed one after another.

"Don't kill me! Don't come any closer!"

There was a madwoman who had killed someone standing in front of them, and a skilled hunter standing on the wall. The two of them were working together with unprecedented tacit understanding.

Mo Jiuxiao raised the bow and arrow in his hand, the three arrows aimed at the guard who was trying to get close to Gu Lingzhi.

The arrows flew from their hands, and the three men had just raised them to stab Gu Lingzhi when they suddenly crashed to the ground.

With her last shred of consciousness, Gu Lingzhi vaguely saw two figures appear in front of her.

But she couldn't see clearly anymore.

All she knew was that the dagger in her hand had pierced someone's body.

His eyes were blood red.

As the feeling of weightlessness washed over her, Gu Lingzhi felt as if she were rising into the air, as if she were flying.

His tightly closed eyes trembled. Bloodstains on his face and body stained Mo Jiuxiao's clothes. Mo Jiuxiao frowned, his eyes filled with boundless coldness and murderous intent.

"Your Highness... she's not that..."

Gu Lingzhi was quite famous in the military camp, and many people had seen her. Coupled with her unforgettable face, it was normal for her to be recognized at a glance.

"Clean this place up and make it clean. No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today."

"I will obey your orders!"

Mo Jiuxiao lowered his head and glanced at the little maid dressed in coarse cloth.

"Bury her!"

His men immediately took action.

The more than one hundred people who originally stayed here were all turned into corpses in a short time.

Mo Jiuxiao, his expression cold, held the unconscious Gu Lingzhi in his arms: "Throw these corpses onto the cliff not far away."

"Yes!"

Thrown off a cliff, it would only be devoured by passing wild animals, leaving no trace whatsoever.

……

Gu Lingzhi felt as if she were sitting on a small boat that was bobbing up and down.

I felt lightheaded and couldn't tell which way was which.

Everything was pitch black; the entire world was only black.

A cacophony of sounds reached her ears, and Gu Lingzhi vaguely heard people talking.

"Your Highness, this young lady's wounds are healing very well with your medicine, but they have been poisoned, so they may not heal easily."

Then came a cold, indifferent reply: "Hmm!"

"I have stabilized the poison, but we still need to think of a better way to completely eliminate it."

"Do it!"

"I humbly obey my orders!"

Gu Lingzhi's last memories were still in the woods. When she suddenly opened her eyes and saw Mo Jiuxiao sitting in the middle of a simple military tent, she was instantly stunned.

Her eyes flickered, as if she were dreaming.

When Mo Jiuxiao saw that she was awake, he slowly raised his eyelids and his gaze lingered on the red mark on her cheek.

A glint flashed in his dark purple eyes, and his pale lips parted slightly: "Is he dead?"

Gu Lingzhi gripped the blanket, looking at him warily.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I'm tough and still alive. By the way, where is this place?"

"Jiugang Mountain, twenty miles away."

Mo Jiuxiao got up and walked to the bedside.

Gu Lingzhi pursed her lips. "Where is that little girl?"

“Dead!” Mo Jiuxiao said these two words coldly, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

Upon hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed across Gu Lingzhi's eyes.

Guilt overwhelmed her in an instant. Gu Lingzhi closed her eyes and leaned against the bed without saying a word.

Mo Jiuxiao couldn't stand her silence. He grabbed her chin with one hand and forced her to raise her head: "Tell me, who hit you?"

Gu Lingzhi smiled indifferently: "Since the person is already dead, why bother with all this?"

She trusted no one. Although it wasn't Mo Jiuxiao's fault, he was still the culprit.

Mo Jiuxiao's gaze deepened, and a fierce glint flashed across his handsome face.

"You've been poisoned, deal with it yourself!"

Gu Lingzhi was taken aback, then suddenly remembered something.

That damned eunuch hadn't expected to have a backup plan. She was in a daze at the time, and she never imagined that the medicine the little maid gave her had been laced with poison.

"Even without Your Highness saying so, I have no choice but to solve this myself."

Pointing to the doctor here, she figured she was doomed.

However, after she finished speaking, her tone suddenly became calm. She looked up at the man's slightly furrowed brows and smiled, "This time, I thank Your Highness for saving my life."

Mo Jiuxiao didn't answer her question, but stared at her intently: "If someone touches my things, what do you think I will do?"

Gu Lingzhi scoffed at it.

He clearly appreciated her gratitude, yet he spoke of it as if it were his due.

She lowered her eyes, a half-smile on her face, and said, "So this is what Your Highness cares about. In that case, I'll take back what I just said."

Mo Jiuxiao got angry and grabbed her cheek.

"Gratitude is a must. You must always remember that I saved your life."

Gu Lingzhi's eyes sparkled, and she suppressed a laugh as her shoulders trembled slightly: "Yes, thank you again for your kindness in saving me, Your Highness."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Jiuxiao walked to the entrance of the military tent and shouted to the soldiers outside, "Return to camp!"

"Yes!"

Several thousand soldiers immediately began packing their belongings, and by the afternoon, the main force had already begun to return to camp.

Gu Lingzhi was still somewhat weak and lay in a rather comfortable and spacious carriage.

The window blinds were lowered, and a moment later, the carriage curtains were lifted, and Mo Jiuxiao abandoned his horse and sat down opposite her.

Those dark purple eyes gave the illusion of a deep, affectionate gaze when they looked at people.

Gu Lingzhi avoided his gaze and looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Why is Your Highness looking at me?"

"Am I not allowed to look at you?"

Gu Lingzhi shook her head: "No, it's just that I'm a little curious. There are countless slaves in the military camp, so why did they have to choose me?"

Seeing Gu Lingzhi's puzzled look, Mo Jiuxiao smiled faintly and said, "You're pleasing to the eye!"

Gu Lingzhi was speechless.

She reached out and touched her face.

Even she herself had to admit that this face was several times more refined than her original one.

Her eyebrows and eyes were like those in a traditional Chinese painting, and coupled with her noble status since childhood, even her skin was snow-white and flawless.

How could she compare to the girl who used to roll around in the grass all day?

What's more, what Gu Lingzhi least expected was that Mo Jiuxiao was actually a looks-obsessed person.

The military camp didn't seem far from here, because the army had already arrived outside the camp just as it got dark.

Upon receiving the news, Zhao Qiankun and his men stationed at the camp had already come out to greet them. The army stood in two rows, and Zhao Qiankun, who was at the head, had a slightly changed expression.

Gu Lingzhi hid in the carriage, secretly listening to the conversation.

Mo Jiuxiao walked ahead of the crowd, and Zhao Qiankun bowed to him: "This humble general has lived up to orders and has been guarding the camp. I did not expect Your Highness to return so soon."

Mo Jiuxiao remained calm, simply nodding without saying anything.

A mocking look flashed in Gu Lingzhi's eyes. Even though he already knew the truth from her, he didn't expect that Mo Jiuxiao still cared most about his subordinates and didn't care about what happened to her at all.

It seems that she will have to rely on herself to get revenge.

Zhao Qiankun's eyes flickered, and seeing that Mo Jiuxiao was about to leave, he quickly said, "A small matter has occurred in the military camp, and this humble general would like to report it to Your Highness in advance."

"Little things?"

Mo Jiuxiao reined in the reins and looked down at Zhao Qiankun.

As if his thoughts had been read, Zhao Qiankun gasped, but then, remembering that Gu Lingzhi might already be dead, he grew bolder.

"Your Highness, the maidservant in your military tent has run away!"

"Oh?"

Mo Jiuxiao parted his thin lips slightly, uttering only a single syllable, his face showing no particular expression.

Zhao Qiankun was overjoyed, knowing that Mo Jiuxiao didn't care about that maid at all.

"I sent men to capture her, but she ran to a nearby mountain and fell off a cliff. She's probably dead!"

Mo Jiuxiao narrowed his long eyes slightly: "Where is the body?"

Zhao Qiankun was taken aback, not understanding why Mo Jiuxiao wanted the corpse: "The mountain not far away is very dangerous. I thought it was not worth sending soldiers down to search for it. To avoid sacrifice, I did not send anyone down."

Mo Jiuxiao withdrew his gaze and rode his horse directly into the camp.

Zhao Qiankun had his back to Mo Jiuxiao, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

Disciplining a female slave was the easiest thing for him.

Gu Lingzhi's carriage followed them inside.

The night was shrouded in darkness, but the soldiers of the three armies, holding torches, illuminated the place brightly.

There were over a thousand soldiers standing in the open space outside the main tent, all waiting for the prince to give instructions.

Gu Lingzhi's carriage was casually parked behind the crowd, completely inconspicuous.

Mo Jiuxiao had already dismounted, and someone immediately stepped forward to report on the progress of the mission.

"Your Highness, we caught several spies last night. They were indeed trying to sabotage the grain supplies."

Mo Jiuxiao narrowed his eyes: "Well done, interrogate carefully!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Several deputy generals withdrew, and the soldiers of the three armies stood there motionless, seeing that the prince had not yet given the order to disperse.

"General Zhao!"

Mo Jiuxiao's sudden speech surprised Zhao Qiankun.

He stepped forward and stood in front of the crowd.

Mo Jiuxiao looked at him calmly: "I previously allowed you to make a bet with my female slave. Now, you have lost!"

Unexpectedly, Mo Jiuxiao suddenly brought up this matter, and Zhao Qiankun hurriedly said, "This humble general naturally admits defeat, but now that the servant is dead, this humble general feels deep regret."

"Dead? Who are you saying is dead!"
