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

Chapter 32 You want to kill me?

Gu Lingzhi turned her head away. Although she didn't want to admit it, what she said wasn't wrong.

After all, Mo Jiuxiao had saved her life; otherwise, she might have died the day she arrived here.

But he already took all the benefits last time, so what does he want to ask for now?

Gu Lingzhi pursed her somewhat pale lips.

She narrowed her eyes, but suddenly her finger touched the side of his neck.

A blackened splinter suddenly appeared between her fingers; no one knew when she had hidden it in her hand.

"Don't move, Your Highness. I was just joking. Please don't force me!"

The anger in Mo Jiuxiao's eyes deepened, and his dark purple eyes seemed to turn pure black.

His fingers tightened around her wrist, as if he were about to crush her bones in that instant.

"What do you mean? Do you want to kill me?"

His narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes narrowed, their slender, sharp shape giving off a chilling aura that seemed to penetrate to the bone.

Gu Lingzhi smiled, her alluring eyes shimmering like autumn water: "How could that be? Your Highness saved my life, how could I possibly take yours? However, I can certainly make Your Highness lose interest in women!"

As she spoke, she deliberately glanced downwards.

Mo Jiuxiao showed no sign of tension or threat: "Is that so? If that were the case, do you think you could have survived until now?"

His fingers slowly moved towards Gu Lingzhi's neck.

Gu Lingzhi's heart tightened, and she pressed the object in her hand close to his neck: "Don't move!"

But Mo Jiuxiao didn't listen to her at all.

Gu Lingzhi gritted her teeth, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. She exerted force again, and the sharp wooden splinter was just a hair's breadth away from drawing blood.

"I've smeared poison on this splinter, Your Highness. You'd better not touch it without permission!"

Mo Jiuxiao stared intently into her eyes: "Do you think I could just strangle you before you poison me?"

Gu Lingzhi's aura filled the screen.

"I believe Your Highness can do it, but don't you think it would be a disadvantage?"

I believe Mo Jiuxiao wouldn't be foolish enough to trade one life for another.

At this moment, Mo Jiuxiao's lips curved into a smile, and a hint of bloodlust and madness flashed in his dark eyes.

How do you know it's impossible?

Gu Lingzhi's heart was pounding erratically.

A normal person, when threatened, would at least think about their own life, even if they wouldn't listen to her. But Mo Jiuxiao is different.

If she hadn't loosened her grip just now, Mo Jiuxiao, who had lowered his head, would have had his neck pierced.

The other party didn't care about their own life or death at all.

Gu Lingzhi was helpless; she didn't really want to kill Mo Jiuxiao.

"Mo Jiuxiao, how about we each take a step back?"

Mo Jiuxiao raised an eyebrow: "You want me to let you go?"

Gu Lingzhi wanted to nod, but judging from the other person's expression and the aura emanating from him, she knew that this was absolutely impossible.

"No, I've healed your wrist injury. How about you let me go and let me help out in the army? I won't cause you any trouble. You just need to give me some protection, okay? The battlefield is ruthless. I believe I can do more and save more people like that person, right?"

Her voice softened considerably, and even carried a hint of negotiation.

Mo Jiuxiao paused for a moment, his eyes seemingly still weighing the pros and cons of Gu Lingzhi's request.

Gu Lingzhi blinked, her large eyes filled with sincerity, and she meant it sincerely.

She has no other requests now, she just wants to live like an ordinary person.

"can!"

Gu Lingzhi's heart stirred.

Before she could even express her surprise, she saw Mo Jiuxiao looking at her with a half-smile.

"It's impossible."

Gu Lingzhi opened her eyes wide, raised her head, and her pupils reflected Mo Jiuxiao's face.

The handsome face right in front of me had a distinct and flawless profile, and also carried a hint of sinister and menacing aura.

Gu Lingzhi's chin was lifted up.

Mo Jiuxiao completely ignored the threat in her hand and directly kissed her lips.

Although that feeling was fleeting, it still left a trace of anger in Gu Lingzhi's eyes.

"Get well soon, you understand? As long as you behave, I'll protect you!"

Protect her?

I'm afraid Mo Jiuxiao can't protect her.

A faint emotion flashed in Gu Lingzhi's eyes as she lowered her eyelids.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, like butterfly wings.

Mo Jiuxiao glanced at that beautiful face a few times before getting up and leaving the military tent.

It was completely dark outside.

Gu Lingzhi rolled over, pulled the blanket over herself, and fell asleep.

Gu Lingzhi slept soundly until dawn.

The pain from the wounds on my body has significantly lessened, and the scars are slowly healing.

The medicine Mo Jiuxiao applied to her was truly amazing. She planned to find time to study it and make some for herself as a backup.

Gu Lingzhi pushed open the military tent, and overnight, the military camp seemed to have become much quieter.

The sound of hooves approached, and Mo Jiuxiao, exuding a chilling aura, jumped off his horse. Immediately, his men led the horse over to him.

The two looked at each other from a distance.

Gu Lingzhi turned her gaze away, pretending not to notice him.

Mo Jiuxiao, however, did not care about her ignoring him at all. He stood directly in front of her, casting a shadow that blocked her view.

Mo Jiuxiao habitually pinched Gu Lingzhi's chin.

He liked seeing Gu Lingzhi look into his eyes with those radiant gazes.

Mo Jiuxiao lowered his head slightly with a half-smile and said in her ear, "You killed Eunuch Li, do you think the Emperor will let you go?"

Gu Lingzhi raised her head without fear and sneered: "So what? In my current situation, even if I don't kill them, no one will let me go."

"Ha, who said they would clear the name of the Gu family?"

A cold smile crept across Mo Jiuxiao's thin lips, but a hint of disdain flickered in his eyes.

Gu Lingzhi didn't understand Mo Jiuxiao at all.

This man had a mind she couldn't fathom. Gu Lingzhi had no idea whether he was helping her or harming her.

But wouldn't it be easy to kill her if he wanted to? She challenged his bottom line time and time again, only to suddenly realize that this man seemed to have no bottom line at all.

Could it be that Mo Jiuxiao and the original Gu Lingzhi had an affair?

But he has been away from the capital for three years. Three years ago, Gu Lingzhi was only thirteen years old. Does this man like little girls?

Just thinking about it gives me the creeps.

Mo Jiuxiao truly lives up to his reputation as the biggest villain in the story; he even had the heart to eat this.

A chill ran down her spine, and Gu Lingzhi kept her distance from Mo Jiuxiao even further.

"Of course, I should do what needs to be done, but the prerequisite is that I need to have the capital."

"If you beg me, I can help you!"

Help her...

Gu Lingzhi couldn't have been unaware of this. Her eyes flickered as she saw Mo Jiuxiao's tall back as he turned away. The question she wanted to ask remained unasked.

This person has too many secrets.

However, the text in that book was too one-sided, and the main perspective was entirely from the point of view of the female protagonist, Gu Fuling. It didn't really know much about Mo Jiuxiao and Gu Lingzhi.

She simply understood Gu Fuling.

Gu Fuling's thoughts, from beginning to end, had only one purpose: to sit in a high and mighty position and become the empress that Gu Lingzhi had been in her previous life.

This obsession has become her excuse for resorting to any means necessary.

She thought it over carefully and realized that Gu Fuling would definitely not give up after failing to achieve her goal this time.

Peaceful times are running out for her.

“If asking for help were useful, I wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.”

Gu Lingzhi didn't want to talk to Mo Jiuxiao anymore, but as she turned around, she heard a loud explosion coming from the distant camp.

In that instant, all the soldiers gripped their weapons and looked in the direction of the explosion.

Mo Jiuxiao, who had just walked away, suddenly became serious. He remounted his horse and flew away like a streak of light. The rest of his men stood guard around the military tent, as if protecting Gu Lingzhi's safety.

Gu Lingzhi tightened her grip on the cloak she was wearing.

She frowned, completely unaware of what was happening.

As someone who has only recently arrived here, I have never witnessed a true war fought with cold weapons.

The explosions continued for a while.

Gu Lingzhi stood alone at the entrance of the military tent, listening. Around noon, a messenger finally ran over.

"Report, strategist, something terrible has happened! The grain warehouses that have already been moved have been blown up!"

Bai Lianchuan's expression became more serious.

This incident suggests that there are still deeply hidden spies from the Southern Huai region within the military camp.

It would be difficult to capture that person, but if not handled properly, it could easily unsettle people's hearts, especially now that there is no food or supplies to support them.

"I'll go and discuss this with the Prince!"

Gu Lingzhi's worst fears came true.

She tried her best to change the plot, but she didn't expect the power of the plot to be so strong.

Returning to her tent to wait, Gu Lingzhi showed no particular expression.

Not long after, the curtain of the military tent was lifted, and a figure walked in.

Mo Jiuxiao exuded a cold and stern aura. He walked to the bedside and saw Gu Lingzhi sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, her eyes filled with a chilling intensity.

"Tell me, how many people are left?"

what?

Gu Lingzhi's heart clenched slightly. She looked up and stared into Mo Jiuxiao's eyes, but all she saw was intense killing intent.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? What do you mean by how many people?"

Mo Jiuxiao took two more steps closer and suddenly pressed down on him.

Gu Lingzhi instinctively stepped back, her back resting against the military tent, with Mo Jiuxiao's hands supporting her neck on either side.

She could almost touch his lips with just a slight lift of her head.

"If you don't speak, I won't be able to protect you this time."

Gu Lingzhi squinted, as if trying to see through what was in his eyes.

"Lingzhi does not understand what Your Highness is saying."

"Since you know the other party's plan, you must also know how many people Nanhuai has planted."

Gu Lingzhi really wanted to roll her eyes.

She really didn't know this.

Although you know the general plot, the author won't include all the details or even the names of random passersby in the book.

"Does Your Highness think too highly of me? If I really knew, would I have left half of it unsaid?"

Gu Lingzhi looked at Mo Jiuxiao without the slightest guilt.

She knew that Mo Jiuxiao's doubts had not disappeared, and she didn't know how to make him believe her, but what she didn't know was simply unknown.

"Just tell me how you learned this information, and I will believe you!"
