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

Chapter 320 Her Bottom Line

After returning from the manor, Mo Jiuxiao had already interrogated the old man.

It was just a little different from what Gu Lingzhi had imagined.

"Lingzhi, that person who's been causing trouble in Yuncheng, it shouldn't be him!"

Gu Lingzhi's relaxed mood tightened again.

"Impossible. Zhang Rong said those people look very similar to that person."

Mo Jiuxiao shook his head: "Go back immediately, I'm afraid something has happened in the capital."

We've learned pretty much everything about what's happening on Donglai Island. Gu Lingzhi has been holding the title of island lord for nothing.

The thought of her two children still in the capital made her feel a pang of anxiety.

"Let's go back!"

I always thought those people were all spies from Donglai Island, but now I realize that they probably have other motives.

Previously, he assisted Gu Fuling and even caused riots in Yuncheng; it's likely that he had the same goal in mind.

The ultimate goal was the Northern Yi Imperial City.

Thinking of this, Gu Lingzhi became extremely anxious.

Without hesitation, Gu Lingzhi led half of the men who had come with her back to the island.

Having spent a whole month on the island, Gu Lingzhi had long missed her two children.

However, it would take half a month just to get back from here.

The round trip wasted two months, and by the time everyone was finally about to reach the dock, it felt like an eternity.

Once ashore, everyone on the ship felt relieved.

After all, having been adrift on the sea for so long, these soldiers, who were used to fighting on land all year round, were really not used to it.

As soon as they stepped off the dock, soldiers were already there to greet them.

However, there was a hint of sorrow on their faces.

As soon as Gu Lingzhi stepped off the boat, before the smile on her lips could even spread, she saw Mo Liufeng walking towards her.

Gone was the smiling tiger face he usually wore; now even he was completely serious.

This gave Gu Lingzhi a sense of foreboding.

"Mo Liufeng, what major event has occurred?"

Mo Liufeng lowered his eyes and said in a low voice without beating around the bush, "An'er and Xing'er are both missing!"

well.

The thing I feared most has indeed happened.

Gu Lingzhi's face was deathly pale. If Mo Jiuxiao hadn't been there to support her, she probably wouldn't have been able to stand up by now.

Those two children were the people Gu Lingzhi cared about most, people who were more important than her own life.

The other party clearly had her weakness exploited, leaving her with no way to express her suffering.

"How long have you been missing?"

"Half a month!"

Mo Liufeng suddenly knelt down: "It was my negligence; I failed to fulfill my responsibilities."

Gu Lingzhi remained calm and showed no reaction.

Rationally, she understood that she shouldn't blame Mo Liufeng for this.

It's normal for them to overlook some minor matters because they have to guard the imperial city and handle all sorts of things every day.

But she was just an ordinary person, and when she learned that her child's fate was uncertain, she couldn't help but feel angry.

But what good is anger? It's all too late.

"Get up! This has nothing to do with you. Tell me in detail how the two children got into trouble!"

Mo Liufeng got up and boarded the carriage back to the palace.

Sitting in front of Mo Jiuxiao and Gu Lingzhi, he recounted in detail what had happened recently.

"Nothing had been wrong until about two weeks ago, when a lot of trouble started happening in the city. As a result, I neglected to take care of the Crown Prince and Princess. Little did I know that their purpose was..."

As for what the trouble was, the two people in the palace, who had already been through a lot, clearly understood as they looked at the thick stack of memorials before them.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Seeing that Gu Lingzhi not only didn't blame him, but also said such things, Mo Liufeng felt uneasy.

This seemingly charming and romantic playboy has always concealed his most basic emotions and expressions, but now he is revealing a bit of his softer side.

"Regardless of whether Her Majesty the Empress blames me, this matter is my responsibility, and I will not shirk my duty no matter what orders I receive."

Gu Lingzhi smiled and said, "There's no need to rush. It's no use being anxious. I'll think of a way!"

Although that's what she said, Gu Lingzhi was more anxious than anyone else.

There was absolutely no other way.

But she can't lose her composure. If she does, who will protect her child?

Mo Jiuxiao asked Mo Liufeng to go out first, and saw Gu Lingzhi gently biting her lip.

Whenever she makes these unconscious little gestures, it means that she is in a state of panic.

After closing the door, Mo Jiuxiao said in a calm but firm voice, "Lingzhi, those two little ones have encountered this kind of thing more than once or twice, so just relax."

"Forehead……"

Gu Lingzhi was speechless for a moment, then raised an eyebrow at Mo Jiuxiao.

"You're my own father!"

Mo Jiuxiao looked completely fearless, and even the worry on his face had disappeared.

"It's precisely because it's a family member that I feel so at ease."

He is very confident in his strong genetic heritage.

Gu Lingzhi gritted her teeth and looked Mo Jiuxiao up and down: "So the Emperor has lost his child so many times already!"

Mo Jiuxiao vaguely sensed that he had revealed something and coughed lightly.

"Trust my intuition!"

Gu Lingzhi was completely enraged by Mo Jiuxiao.

"What intuition? Your child has been missing for half a month. Aren't you worried?"

"I will make those people pay the price, but their safety is none of my concern!"

Mo Jiuxiao's words left Gu Lingzhi somewhat confused.

But upon further reflection, Gu Lingzhi realized she had acted somewhat impulsively.

"So, they're all alright?"

"Will!"

"Are you really not just trying to comfort me?"

Mo Jiuxiao shook his head slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"We'll just wait."

Seeing Mo Jiuxiao's confidence, Gu Lingzhi temporarily felt relieved.

Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, Gu Lingzhi felt that she shouldn't be too panicked anymore.

"Then what should we do now?"

"Wait for them to issue a challenge!"

The news that Gu Lingzhi and Mo Jiuxiao have returned must have spread far and wide soon, and those who are itching to make a move should already be about to act.

After patiently waiting for three days, finally, a note was projected onto the wall from outside the window.

The man seemed to be deliberately showing off his abilities. Gu Lingzhi arranged for the palace guards to capture him, but they couldn't even catch a glimpse of him.

The request on the note was simple: Mo Jiuxiao should issue an abdication edict, handing over the throne to the former crown prince, Mo Jinghan.

Upon hearing the name Mo Jinghan, Gu Lingzhi felt a wave of helplessness.

That person was really persistent. Even now, he was still unwilling to give up and tried to take it back, even resorting to despicable means to take advantage of two toddlers who were only three years old.
