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

Chapter 36 He Wants to Kill Her

A hint of worry seemed to flash across his eyes, and his movements even suggested he was checking if Gu Lingzhi had been bitten.

This action surprised Gu Lingzhi.

Mo Jiuxiao's attention was drawn to Gu Lingzhi, and the man became bolder: "Your Highness, she killed five or six people overnight and poisoned the brothers who had gone through thick and thin with me. I beg Your Highness to avenge them!"

Gu Lingzhi looked at Mo Jiuxiao without flinching or avoiding his gaze.

She didn't want to explain even a single unnecessary word.

Mo Jiuxiao lowered his gaze, his entire being exuding a cold aura. Gu Lingzhi heard him utter a cold and ruthless sentence from his thin, pale lips: "Do you still think you're the legitimate daughter of a marquis's mansion?"

Gu Lingzhi raised her chin nonchalantly: "It's not like that anymore."

"To kill soldiers, regardless of the reason, is a capital offense!"

Gu Lingzhi sensed the killing intent in Mo Jiuxiao's eyes and involuntarily took a step back.

She looked at him warily, every nerve in her body tense. The soldiers standing not far from Mo Jiuxiao all stared at her with hateful eyes.

Looking into Mo Jiuxiao's dark purple eyes, Gu Lingzhi remained calm and composed: "I didn't kill those people!"

Mo Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows: "But no one saw it."

Gu Lingzhi sensed the distrust in Mo Jiuxiao's words. She retreated step by step, thinking of a way to escape.

She needs to escape; if she doesn't leave now, she might never be able to.

A turbulent thought flashed through Gu Lingzhi's eyes. She glanced at the people around her and suddenly stopped in her tracks.

In an instant, she grabbed the person closest to her.

The man had originally planned to approach Gu Lingzhi and seize her first when the prince gave the order, but he didn't expect to be captured by Gu Lingzhi first.

Gu Lingzhi pulled a dagger from his waist and pressed it hard against his neck.

She looked up at Mo Jiuxiao: "If you don't want him to die, let me leave!"

With a whoosh, the soldiers drew their longswords in unison, pointing them directly at Gu Lingzhi.

"Witch, release him!"

"Release the hostages and face death!"

Gu Lingzhi pursed her lips slightly. Her strength had recovered quite well, and she was no longer in such a sorry state as before. Taking someone hostage and leaving was not a difficult task for her.

Mo Jiuxiao raised his hand, signaling everyone to take a step back.

The pressure instantly lessened, and Gu Lingzhi turned to leave, only to find that the hostage in her hands had not been moved.

The hostage, his face contorted in a grimace and his legs trembling, was so terrified that he wet himself right in front of the entire army.

All Gu Lingzhi could see was utter embarrassment.

But there was no one around, so exchanging hostages was impossible. She forced a stern voice and shouted, "If you don't want to die, come with me!"

The man couldn't stand up; he sat on the ground, trembling and clutching his head, pleading, "Heroine, spare me! Heroine, spare me!"

Gu Lingzhi remained silent.

Given her physical strength, it would be completely impossible for her to drag someone along.

Just as she was paying attention, a figure appeared before her. Gu Lingzhi saw Mo Jiuxiao's face and was about to speak when a sharp pain shot through her chest.

Gu Lingzhi lowered her head. It turned out that the reason for the excruciating pain was a dagger in her chest.

The person who made the move was Mo Jiuxiao, who was standing right in front of her.

The man's figure loomed over her, obscuring all the light. Gu Lingzhi stared at his wrist, her slender fingers gripping the handle tightly as she pulled out the dagger.

Blood instantly stained Gu Lingzhi's chest.

Mo Jiuxiao wanted to kill her.

This was the last thought in Gu Lingzhi's mind.

Mo Jiuxiao watched her fall to the ground.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Gu Lingzhi seemed to be dead. Some even went forward to check Gu Lingzhi's breathing.

"already dead."

Mo Jiuxiao strode to Gu Lingzhi's side, suddenly bent down, and picked her up directly from the ground.

Many people looked puzzled and surprised, but dared not ask any further questions.

"Your Highness, this demoness might have poisonous snakes on her body, you...you must be careful!"

"Yes, why not just burn the body?"

Mo Jiuxiao didn't speak, holding Gu Lingzhi in his arms, blood still dripping onto the ground.

All that was left for the soldiers was Mo Jiuxiao's back. The leading soldier stood up from the ground, a deep meaning hidden in his eyes, and whispered to his subordinate, "Tell the general about this."

"Yes!"

The little schemes over there did not affect Mo Jiuxiao or the already 'dead' Gu Lingzhi.

When Gu Lingzhi woke up, she didn't know how much time had passed. Her death in the military camp didn't cause any ripples.

She suddenly sat up in bed, the dizziness making her frown. Turning her head, she saw a white figure walk in.

Bai Lianchuan.

Gu Lingzhi looked completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

"Strategist Bai, where is this?"

This place doesn't look like a military tent; it's more like an old mud house. Gu Lingzhi is a little puzzled, though. Shouldn't she be dead? Why is she awake again?

Bai Lianchuan walked in with a smile, his fox-like eyes gleaming.

However, she did not answer Gu Lingzhi's question.

"Does the wound still hurt?"

As he asked the question, he was fiddling with something in his hand.

The dagger was quite ordinary, but in Bai Lianchuan's hands, the blade could extend and retract freely, like a prop used for magic tricks.

Gu Lingzhi watched his movements and subconsciously touched the spot on her chest where the dagger had stabbed her, only to find that there wasn't a single scar.

She hesitated and said, "It doesn't hurt much anymore."

"That's good……"

Gu Lingzhi's lips were tight, and she looked at him warily: "Did Mo Jiuxiao send you? Didn't he want to kill me? Why did he let me live? Or... is he still interested in me and just wants to play with me?"

Bai Lianchuan sat down at a table not far from Gu Lingzhi with a smile: "You have wronged the prince. The prince meant well, but you have seen it as ill intentions. He must be feeling very wronged."

Gu Lingzhi chuckled.

"Wronged?"

How could Mo Jiuxiao possibly feel wronged?

"He is the dignified King of Beiyi, wielding a large army. Who could possibly wrong him?"

Bai Lianchuan seemed to see the resentment in Gu Lingzhi's eyes.

"I have a chill in my body. Maybe someone died in this room. It's full of vengeful spirits!"

Gu Lingzhi looked up: "Strategist, don't change the subject."

Bai Lianchuan, having his thoughts read, calmly made himself appear more serious: "Your Highness is doing this for your own good. Otherwise, once you leave the military camp, it will be your death day."

"Oh?"

Gu Lingzhi raised an eyebrow, her eyes revealing deep suspicion.

"The news of you in the military camp now is that you are dead."

Gu Lingzhi was stunned for a moment.

As if sensing something, she asked in a deep voice, "What does the strategist mean by this?"

Bai Lianchuan sighed and called out to the person behind the curtain, "Don't make me say everything. Shouldn't you, the person in question, also explain yourself?"

"Explain what?"

A deep, pleasant voice came from behind the curtain, and Gu Lingzhi immediately tensed up. The scene before she fainted was truly terrifying.

After all, there are examples of people who have been bitten by a snake once and are afraid of ropes for ten years. She almost died at Mo Jiuxiao's hands, and who knows if he will suddenly go crazy again.

"Of course, it's about explaining why you did it!"

"There's nothing to explain."

Mo Jiuxiao, clad in battle armor, casually tossed his long sword aside. A hint of impatience flickered in his eyes as he strode and sat down in a chair.

Bai Lianchuan looked helpless: "If you won't say it yourself, then what's the point of me saying it?"

Gu Lingzhi wasn't stupid; after hearing what the other person said, she understood.

She looked at Mo Jiuxiao with a pale face: "So, your prince deliberately made others think I'm dead?"

Bai Lianchuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Gu Lingzhi say this: "It's good that you're smart. Gu Lingzhi's identity at the border will never allow her to rise again, do you understand?"

Gu Lingzhi pursed her lips.

She got it.

Because she was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhenguo, both the Third Prince's wife Gu Fuling in the palace and the soldiers on the border would unconsciously regard her as an enemy.

As long as she remains Gu Lingzhi, she's doomed sooner or later.

Now, Mo Jiuxiao has given her a chance to hide her true identity.

A look of understanding flashed across her eyes, and she smiled at Mo Jiuxiao: "I see."

Mo Jiuxiao's icy expression softened somewhat.

"Heal your wounds and come back with me!"

Gu Lingzhi raised her eyebrows and said, "I will always remember Your Highness's life-saving grace, but now that I am dead, what I do next is none of your business!"

A fierce glint flashed across Mo Jiuxiao's eyes.

"Only I, the King, can clear the name of the Gu family."

That's really impressive.

"Your Highness may be capable of such things, but why would Your Highness do them? Could it be... that you've fallen in love with me?"

She laughed so hard she was shaking, her laughter filled with disbelief.

Mo Jiuxiao got up and came to her side.

Seeing that the two had something to say to each other, Bai Lianchuan very considerately refrained from becoming a third wheel.

Mo Jiuxiao made Gu Lingzhi look into his eyes; purple light swirled within her slender phoenix eyes.

A clear voice exploded in Gu Lingzhi's ears, its tone carrying a hint of seduction.

"You don't just want to eke out a living, do you?"

She really wanted to.

She and the original Gu Lingzhi were never the same person; Gu Lingzhi made this distinction very clear.

But she couldn't say that.

"No!"

Such a decisive and powerful word made Mo Jiuxiao's lips slowly curve into a smile. Before Gu Lingzhi could even react, his lips had already pressed down on hers.

Gu Lingzhi widened her eyes and pushed the person away, her cheeks flushed. However, she accidentally aggravated some of her original injuries, causing her to gasp.

"Mo Jiuxiao!"

She spoke angrily.

Even the title of "Prince" was no longer used; Gu Lingzhi was addressed by Mo Jiuxiao's real name.

Mo Jiuxiao frowned slightly as he watched Gu Lingzhi dodge away, but said nothing.

Gu Lingzhi only came back from the bed when she felt he was far away.

She had never seen anyone who enjoyed acting like a hooligan so much.
