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

Chapter 62 No one is worthy of him

I held those thick, warm hands tightly, my palms feeling as if they were touching a thick layer of calluses.

Gu Lingzhi felt a little more at ease. She secretly cleared her throat and looked up at Grand Tutor Sun.

She took a step closer. Now that the emperor was not present, the ministers in the Golden Palace spoke freely, with little restraint.

“Grand Tutor Sun, the Prince and I are in love and have already confessed our feelings to each other, so the Prince will absolutely not marry your daughter.”

Grand Tutor Sun stared at Gu Lingzhi in astonishment upon hearing her sudden voice. The disgust and coldness in his eyes seemed to seep out from his old and lifeless gaze: "In the Golden Palace, a mere servant like you has no right to speak. Guards, drag him out!"

At Grand Tutor Sun's command, several eunuchs instantly entered through the door.

A cold smile played on Gu Lingzhi's lips as she casually hid behind Mo Jiuxiao: "I am the Prince's woman, how dare you touch the Grand Tutor?"

Grand Tutor Sun looked up and saw Mo Jiuxiao's gaze, and immediately knew he was in trouble.

The two eunuchs who came to arrest Gu Lingzhi were kicked away by Mo Jiuxiao.

Upon witnessing this scene, all the civil and military officials present were terrified and took a step back, staring warily in Mo Jiuxiao's direction.

A dark light flashed in Mo Jinghan's eyes as he stepped forward to Mo Jiuxiao: "Uncle, don't be angry. Although there has never been such a case in Beiyi Kingdom, Father is not heartless. As long as you marry the princess in name and leave offspring, who will dare to say that you are with someone else in the future?"

Mo Jinghan's words, which appealed to both emotion and reason, won the hearts of everyone present, and many ministers praised the Third Prince's wisdom.

However, Mo Jiuxiao sneered: "Besides her, no one is worthy of the title of Princess Consort!"

He pulled Gu Lingzhi directly from behind.

Gu Lingzhi herself wanted to get involved in this matter; she was eager to pursue the status that belonged to her. Therefore, he can give it to her.

However, he was unsure whether Gu Lingzhi was willing to bear this price.

Those words sent a chill down Gu Lingzhi's spine; she had no idea that Mo Jiuxiao had such a side to him.

However, she found herself enjoying the listening.

No one but her is good enough for you, right?

She should also improve herself and do the job that she is worthy of.

Quietly walking up to Mo Jiuxiao, Gu Lingzhi met Mo Jinghan's gaze without the slightest fear on her face.

Mo Jinghan remained calm and composed, lowering his eyes slightly. "However, Father has already issued the imperial decree, and this matter cannot be reversed. I urge you, Uncle, not to let this small matter create a rift between you and Father."

Disobeying the imperial decree would not end well for Mo Jiuxiao, even with his status and position.

Moreover, the current emperor is probably already waiting to find a handle against Mo Jiuxiao and bring him down in one fell swoop.

Although the war between Nanhuai and Beiyi has continued for many years, there have been no large-scale casualties for many years, which has created a misconception throughout the Beiyi Kingdom.

Even without Mo Jiuxiao, Bei Yi would remain peaceful and powerful, and no one would dare to invade it.

If that's the case, then what's the point of having someone like Mo Jiuxiao, who wields immense power and holds the fate of almost everyone in his hands?

The day peace arrives will be the day Mo Jiuxiao falls from his pedestal.

Mo Jiuxiao slowly lowered his eyes, his eyelashes were thick and black, giving him a dark and cold feeling. He slowly closed his five fingers and lowered his voice: "Nephew, you're meddling in too many things."

Upon hearing these words that made Mo Jinghan's face turn pale, Mo Jiuxiao took Gu Lingzhi's hand and walked out of the Golden Palace with dignity.

However, there was no residence belonging to Mo Jiuxiao in the capital, and the two were temporarily arranged to stay in the palace.

The palace is now in an uproar because of Mo Jiuxiao's remarks, and even Gu Lingzhi has become the target of public criticism. Gu Fuling was waiting outside the courtyard of Yazhu Xiaozhu early on. When she saw Gu Lingzhi and Mo Jiuxiao return together, she quickly went to greet them.

"Fuling greets Your Highness. I wish to trouble Your Highness's servants for a moment. I have a few words to say, and I ask Your Highness's permission."

She was very polite, even somewhat expectant.

Few would refuse such a tone, however, Mo Jiuxiao was not among the majority.

"Step aside!"

The two words, spoken in a cold and indifferent manner, completely disregarded Gu Fuling's status, causing her to show an embarrassed expression.

Being ignored like this would make any normal person angry, but Gu Fuling didn't at all; instead, she stubbornly continued to block the way.

"I just wanted to sincerely apologize, please don't take it to heart, Ninth Prince."

Mo Jiuxiao snorted coldly, his gaze icy and piercing: "I'll say it one last time, get out!"

Gu Fuling's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly raised her head to stare at Mo Jiuxiao. Since her rebirth, she had basically figured out the personalities of many people and was very good at catering to their preferences. Even the most unrestrained Third Prince Mo Liufeng respected her very much and even admired her a little. However, she had never understood the man in front of her.

The repeated setbacks were hard for Ang Gu Fuling to accept.

Gu Lingzhi glanced at her, then suddenly said softly, "Your Highness, please go in and rest first. I'll be right back!"

Mo Jiuxiao frowned slightly upon hearing Gu Lingzhi's words, but his attitude was completely different from before. He slowly nodded: "Hurry up!"

Gu Lingzhi curved her lips into a smile, her bright eyes like stars in the sky.

"it is good!"

After calming Mo Jiuxiao down, Gu Lingzhi walked up to Gu Fuling and asked, "You've tried to talk to me several times, is there something important you need to discuss?"

Gu Fuling seized this rare opportunity. She nodded emphatically and hesitated for a moment before saying, "There are people everywhere here, and it's not convenient to talk about some private matters. After all, Uncle Jiu and I were both in the capital back then. Why don't I tell you some stories about Uncle Jiu's childhood?"

A gentle and harmless aura flashed across her eyes.

If Gu Lingzhi didn't understand Gu Fuling, she would definitely be deceived by her appearance.

If she hadn't been blinded by jealousy, Gu Lingzhi felt that Gu Fuling in her previous life would have found happiness after suffering. However, she gradually pushed herself down another dead end.

"Okay!"

Gu Lingzhi raised her eyebrows slightly, pretending to be very interested, and followed behind Gu Lingzhi.

The two walked forward, passing a garden, and came to a very secluded pavilion.

There was no one else around, and the area was easily accessible from all directions. Even if someone appeared, they would only be able to see the two people's shadows and would never be able to hear what they were saying.

Gu Fuling stopped and had her maid bring out the tea set. She then stood up and skillfully brewed a cup of tea for Gu Lingzhi.

The tea is fragrant and rich, yet not cloying.

Although Gu Lingzhi was an outsider in this field, she knew Gu Fuling's skill level.

This woman is not only shrewd, but also patient, hardworking, and knows how to get what she wants. In her own words, there are only three words to describe her.

very scary.

Gu Lingzhi took a gentle sniff and began to sip her tea with great elegance.

She may not know how to brew it, but she knows how to drink it.

Setting down the tea, Gu Lingzhi slowly raised an eyebrow, gazing at Gu Fuling through the fragrant steam: "I am flattered by the Third Prince's wife's hospitality. But then again, what is it that Your Highness wishes to do?"

When asked again, Gu Fuling finally spoke. She stood up and bowed to Gu Fuling: "When we met at the border, I didn't know your identity and offended you. Please forgive me. I don't know how I should address you."

Gu Lingzhi was very casual and directly revealed her pseudonym: "My surname is Gu, and my given name is Zhi."

Gu Zhi...

Upon hearing this name, Gu Fuling's face turned pale.

She looked Gu Lingzhi up and down, as if trying to find something familiar in her.

But... there wasn't any.

She knew Gu Lingzhi very well before. The other party was young and timid. She had a pretty face but was just an arrogant and domineering, stupid woman who didn't have a single bit of patience.

Such women would have died long ago at the border, or even been cruelly abused.

How could he possibly be the same as this man who suddenly appeared in front of him?

Moreover, the person in front of her not only knew martial arts, but also had an unpredictable temperament. Standing next to Mo Jiuxiao, she did not feel any sense of incongruity.

"I'm so sorry, I just thought your name was similar to that of an old friend of mine, so I was a little distracted for a moment. I didn't realize we both had the surname Gu. May I call you Brother Gu?"

Gu Lingzhi almost got goosebumps all over.

Because Gu Fuling has many older brothers, all of whom dote on her. Even when she meets Situ Ming, the repeated address of "Brother Situ" in the book makes one feel the ambiguous atmosphere between the lines.

Perhaps Situ Ming always thought that Gu Fuling was forced to marry the prince, and that as long as he stayed by her side, he would have a chance. Having died tragically for one person in both his past and present lives, Situ Ming is quite a talent.

She gave an awkward laugh, her smile tinged with insincerity: "Is it inappropriate to call you that? Maybe I'm even younger than you!"

Gu Lingzhi smiled faintly as she looked at Gu Fuling's flushed face. Although the injury on her cheek had not fully healed, Gu Fuling possessed a unique charm that made people feel good about her.

"I was being presumptuous. Besides apologizing, I had another matter to ask for your help when I asked you to meet with me alone."

She blinked, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Gu Lingzhi noticed the doubt in her eyes and raised an eyebrow at her: "What kind of help?"

Gu Lingzhi lowered her head, bit her lower lip, and hesitated in her eyes: "I have heard that Young Master Gu's medical skills are superb, and that he even pulled the Ninth Prince back from the brink of death. Therefore, I would like to ask Young Master Gu to save someone. If you can save this person, I will repay you handsomely!"

As she spoke, Gu Fuling bent her knees and knelt directly in front of Gu Lingzhi.
