Chapter 60 How about I marry you?

With her entire waist locked and unable to move, Gu Lingzhi could not bear it any longer and let out a soft moan.

Her cheeks flushed, and Mo Jiuxiao gently removed the human skin mask from her face, a slow smile playing on his lips.

The curve is very shallow, so shallow that it is difficult to distinguish without careful observation.

However, nowadays, no one can actually see it.

Gu Lingzhi was completely immersed in a strange feeling, which made her, who was originally calm, unable to think anymore.

Because there was a light in the room, some of the maids guarding the courtyard couldn't resist their curiosity and approached.

A strange sound slowly emanated from inside, instantly causing the two maids to blush.

Even if they've never eaten pork, they've all seen pigs run, so they can guess what the people inside are doing.

"How could this be?"

Did Her Majesty allow the maid to go in?

"It seems not. Aren't we the only ones guarding this place? Inside..."

It goes without saying who it is.

The expressions of the maids present changed, and one of them quickly ran towards the courtyard where Gu Fuling and the Third Prince lived.

The two people's courtyards were already locked. When the maid who was guarding Gu Fuling's courtyard heard that something had been reported, she quickly sent the messenger in.

Gu Fuling was dressed in thin clothes, but very neatly. She was the only one left in the room, while Mo Jinghan went to the study to review the messages coming and going.

She put on a cloak and came out. Seeing the maid's flustered appearance, her eyes were full of displeasure.

"What happened?"

The young maidservant knelt on the ground, slowly raising her head slightly, her eyes filled with confusion and astonishment: "The Ninth... Ninth Prince... he seems to be doing that in the room..."

"Ok?"

Gu Fuling didn't understand the meaning behind the maid's words at all, nor did she think much of it: "What is it?"

The young maidservant, being quite young, blushed slightly as she spoke: "Yes, it's about bedroom matters!"

Gu Fuling suddenly stood up, a look of surprise flashing across her face, followed by intense joy: "You mean, the Ninth Prince hired a maid to do 'that'?"

"Not a maid..."

The maidservant awkwardly recounted the events, and Gu Fuling, being exceptionally intelligent, understood immediately.

Such a strange thing could actually happen.

However, she was no longer in a hurry and directly had someone invite Mo Jinghan over. Mo Jinghan still carried a trace of coldness, but after seeing Gu Fuling, his expression softened a bit: "My dear consort, is there anything important you need?"

Gu Fuling happily brewed him tea, then sat down opposite Mo Jinghan: "I know why Mo Jiuxiao has been rumored to be uninterested in women for so many years. The soldiers here are always fighting outside, and they don't even have the chance to meet a decent woman. If they really see a woman, wouldn't they be like hungry wolves?"

A hint of disdain flashed across her tone.

In Gu Fuling's eyes, Gu Lingzhi's death was absolutely tragic. After all, she knew the outcome of the incident, but the details were kept secret by the border soldiers, making it difficult to find out.

Mo Jinghan was slightly startled, and looked up into Gu Fuling's eyes: "What do you mean?"

Gu Fuling slightly curved the corners of her lips, a cold glint flashing in her eyes: "I never expected that Mo Jiuxiao would have such a relationship with his own servant. No wonder Mo Jiuxiao risked his life to save people back then. Now that we have such information, we will definitely be able to hold the other party's weakness. Your Highness and Mo Jiuxiao can never be friends. We might as well strike first and eliminate the other party directly."

Mo Jinghan found Gu Fuling's insights quite agreeable.

“What my beloved consort says is true, but Mo Jiuxiao holds military power over 300,000 troops. Even the Emperor can only be wary of him but has no way to deal with him.”

Gu Fuling shook her head: "How can Your Highness think like that? The military power he holds was given to him by the Emperor. If we find an excuse to take the tiger tally from him and hand it over to General Situ, General Situ will definitely be loyal to us."

Mo Jinghan remained silent for a moment. Upon hearing Gu Fuling's words, a glint flashed in his eyes, but in the end, he didn't ask anything.

The current suspicions could completely damage their relationship, so Mo Jinghan is very good at assessing the situation.

"Since my beloved consort has put it this way, do you have any suggestions?"

Hearing that Mo Jinghan respected her opinion so much, Gu Fuling felt a strange sense of superiority.

She was reborn, and finally she was able to live a life of high status, stepping on all those who owed her from her previous life.

She wanted to see with her own eyes the expressions of regret on those people's faces.

The knot in her heart was swept away, and Gu Fuling spoke again: "Of course I have a way, Your Highness just needs to wait for Fuling's good news."

She nestled gently in Mo Jinghan's arms, and Mo Jinghan promptly unbuttoned her clothes.

The two rolled around in the room, their figures intertwined under the bright red curtains.

The sky gradually brightened.

Having not slept well all night, Gu Lingzhi gritted her teeth and got out of bed.

Although her waist and legs were sore, they didn't feel as painful as before. Despite the discomfort, Gu Lingzhi searched everywhere for Mo Jiuxiao's figure.

There was no one in the room.

She strode to the door, pushed it open abruptly, and a burst of floral fragrance wafted out, the fresh breeze from the courtyard invigorating her.

Not far away, next to a flower bed, sat a tall, slender man dressed in a moon-white long robe at a stone table.

This was the first time Gu Lingzhi had ever seen Mo Jiuxiao dressed so casually.

After all, in the border region, a place where war could break out at any moment, Mo Jiuxiao's usual attire consisted of either a cautious dark robe or silver armor.

Although it was beautiful, it never gave her the same feeling as this scene.

A gentleman is like an orchid, a beautiful and noble person.

His long, dark hair was casually tied up on his head. The man, who had shed his bloodthirstiness and killing intent, had gained a sense of ease, as if he were farming.

The beautiful eyebrows and eyes relaxed, as if they had fallen onto a painting full of colorful flowers, with a touch of ink.

She instinctively strode over.

The anger that was originally on the tip of his tongue turned into an inability to utter a single word.

The table was laden with various dishes, and Mo Jiuxiao sat there relaxed and at ease, his fierce aura seemingly dissipating in that instant.

"I didn't know what you liked, so I ordered a little bit of everything."

This gentleness, this care, is like a warm current, seeping into one's heart.

Gu Lingzhi said nothing and simply sat down to start eating.

She had almost finished eating, and glancing at the untouched food on the table, she couldn't help but stare at his face: "Isn't Your Highness going to eat?"

Mo Jiuxiao's thin lips parted slightly: "I have already eaten."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingzhi didn't ask any more questions. She lowered her head, feeling that the surroundings were too quiet. The moment she met Mo Jiuxiao's gaze, she quickly changed the subject: "Is Your Highness going to the palace today?"

Mo Jiuxiao nodded casually.

She held the spoon between her fingertips, gently stirring the porridge in the bowl: "If the Emperor were to grant us a marriage, would the Prince defy the imperial decree?"

Mo Jiuxiao tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, then narrowed his dark purple eyes: "If I insist on marrying you, what do you think the Emperor will decide?"

Gu Lingzhi was stunned.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

If it were her previous identity, she would be a criminal waiting to die; if it were her current identity... she is currently disguised as a man.

Because they were in the military camp, no woman could stay by Mo Jiuxiao's side. So Bai Lianchuan came up with this trick, making her disguise herself as a man. In addition, Gu Lingzhi had a way to change her voice with a drug, so it was very difficult for anyone to tell the difference.

Gu Lingzhi gritted her teeth: "Although I don't know how the Emperor will see it, if word gets out, the Prince's reputation will be ruined..."

This era isn't that open-minded.

While being a homosexual wouldn't warrant the death penalty, it would certainly spread a disgusting reputation.

Even in her time, although there was freedom to love, this was still difficult for everyone to accept.

If Mo Jiuxiao really did it, it would be a disgrace to the royal family, and the current emperor would certainly not be pleased.

Mo Jiuxiao snorted coldly: "Whether the person I like is male or female is not important. As for reputation, do you think I care?"

Gu Lingzhi couldn't help but stare at Mo Jiuxiao's face.

His casual manner gave off a sense of ease, as if he could do whatever he wanted.

Gu Lingzhi raised her eyebrows: "Since Your Highness says so, then I can only oblige!"

Since Mo Jiuxiao has no shame, she still wants to kill him. From the moment she decided to take revenge, she and Mo Jiuxiao were like two people in the same boat.

"Ok!"

Mo Jiuxiao only replied to Gu Lingzhi with a single word.

After he finished drinking the water, he took Gu Lingzhi and went straight out of the courtyard gate. As soon as they reached the gate, they saw Gu Fuling and the Third Prince Mo Jinghan waiting for them.

Gu Fuling clenched her fingers, but her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Gu Lingzhi, where a hint of apology appeared in her eyes and brows.

Even though Gu Lingzhi knew the other party was faking it, she didn't expect Gu Fuling's attitude to change so drastically in just one night.

Could it be that she knows something?

Mo Jiuxiao walked in front, with Gu Lingzhi following behind him. Just as they passed Gu Fuling, Gu Fuling gritted her teeth and whispered to her, "I didn't know you and the prince had that kind of relationship before. When we get to the palace, could you let me apologize to you properly?"

An apology? Gu Fuling will apologize?

This is too fantastical; she wouldn't believe it at all.

After all, the book she had read was entirely from her perspective, so she could basically guess what the other person was thinking.

Generally, when Gu Fuling shows weakness, or inexplicably changes her attitude towards someone, it's when she plans to deal with that person.

However, there was no need to break off relations now. Gu Lingzhi gazed into Gu Fuling's eyes and smiled gently: "Your Highness, there's no need to be polite or apologize. I didn't take it to heart."
