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

Chapter 64 You want to touch my people?

Gu Lingzhi looked up and saw Gu Fuling suddenly grab her wrist.

The smile on her face turned into anxiety, and she shouted, "What are you doing? Let me go!"

The noise was so loud that several palace maids who had already left were drawn over by it. When they saw the two struggling, their faces all showed anger.

A cold smile crossed Gu Lingzhi's mind. She finally understood what Gu Fuling was trying to achieve after going through all this trouble.

She didn't care about treating Yue Shuyi; she simply wanted to use Yue Shuyi as a witness for her.

Before Gu Lingzhi could retaliate, Gu Fuling fell to the ground.

She clutched her clothes tightly, her face streaked with tears, and there were even signs of tears on the hem of her clothes.

Gu Fuling raised her head, looking at her with extremely cold eyes, her lips curled into a deep malice: "How dare you be so disrespectful to this concubine!"

Gu Lingzhi stood aside watching the show with cold eyes. Just then, a figure in sky blue appeared at the entrance surrounded by blue flowers in the courtyard.

Gu Fuling was helped up by two palace maids. She stood in front of Yue Shuyi with red eyes, as if trying to hide something: "Didn't I tell you not to wander around? Why did you come out?"

Gu Lingzhi was almost disgusted by Gu Fuling.

The actress's acting is superb; she's practically worthy of an Oscar.

She lowered her head, smoothed out the wrinkles on her body with a look of disgust, then looked up and stared directly into Yue Shuyi's eyes.

Yue Shuyi's eyes were cold, completely different from his previous expression.

Although he was a hostage, Yue Shuyi had served as the respected national advisor in Bei Yi for many years, and his talent was immeasurable.

If Gu Fuling hadn't successfully won him over when they were children, he would definitely be a very difficult person to approach.

Therefore, Gu Lingzhi did not hold out any hope that the other party would view the matter fairly.

"Your Highness may have misunderstood. I had no intention of disrespecting you. I just saw you almost fall and kindly helped you up. Who knew you would react so strongly?"

Gu Lingzhi lowered her eyes slightly, concealing all her sharp edges.

These words were spoken with such seriousness, as if this were the truth.

Gu Fuling's face turned pale and then red; she hadn't expected Gu Lingzhi to be so calm.

If the other party panicked, she could quickly press her advantage and pin the crime on them. But at this moment, Gu Lingzhi seemed completely innocent, and no one would doubt that she was lying.

Even Yue Shuyi frowned: "Really, Fuling, is what he said true?"

This question instantly disrupted Gu Fuling's rhythm. She shook her head rapidly, tears glistening in her eyes: "I don't know. I was just walking ahead when she suddenly grabbed my clothes and tore them. Look..."

She pitifully showed Yue Shuyi the torn clothes on her shoulders.

Yue Shuyi's handsome face immediately turned cold. He coughed for a while, clutching his chest, and then said to the palace maids around him, "Take this lecherous scoundrel away!"

Gu Lingzhi admired Gu Fuling's quick thinking.

She didn't say she was sure or certain, but only used the words "I don't know" and "I'm guessing," which could easily lead people to misunderstand.

Gu Lingzhi raised her head, her gaze clear and cold: "Grand Preceptor, in front of everyone, would I have the audacity to make a fuss about the Crown Princess? Besides, this is clearly a huge misunderstanding, otherwise it wouldn't be good for the Crown Princess's reputation if word got out, would it?"

Gu Lingzhi's words were all for Gu Fuling's sake, and these words immediately made Yue Shuyi hesitate.

This person was able to do so much for Gu Fuling, so naturally he cared about her a lot. He would nip any bad things in the bud.

Gu Fuling gritted her teeth secretly, clenching her clothes tightly, and shook her head at Yue Shuyi, saying, "Don't believe him, he really was planning to do that to me..."

She couldn't finish her sentence. She gently closed her eyes, her face deathly pale, and bit her lower lip as if she had suffered a great humiliation.

Yue Shuyi couldn't stand Gu Fuling's expression, and he didn't care about anything else.

"Tie him up first, I'll interrogate him properly later."

The palace maids rushed forward and tried to grab Gu Lingzhi's arm.

In that brief moment, Gu Lingzhi caught a glimpse of Gu Fuling's smug smile.

Those palace maids all knew martial arts; they looked weak, but each one was a master.

Gu Lingzhi had no intention of waiting for someone to catch her. Without hesitation, she dodged an attack and turned to run.

Instead of running outside, she ran into the yard filled with blue flowers.

Seeing this, Yue Shuyi's expression turned even uglier.

"Catch her!"

He let out a low growl, his face extremely gloomy, but he saw Gu Lingzhi stomp on the flower bed twice without a care.

In an instant, most of the blue flowers collapsed.

Upon seeing this, Yue Shuyi swayed slightly, the anger in his eyes intensified, and his breathing became somewhat unsteady.

Gu Fuling seemed to have just realized something, and her gaze changed instantly. She knew how much Yue Shuyi cherished these blue flowers.

"Stop! Don't chase her!"

Gu Fuling shouted, and the palace maids stood by the flower bed, not daring to go up. Gu Lingzhi stood in the center of the flower bed, a cold smile on her lips.

These flowers were carefully cultivated over many years; they are probably only found here in the entire world.

Because it's done by hand, you can imagine how much effort the person who planted the flowers put in.

Now that she has trampled on this area, Yue Shuyi will definitely be heartbroken.

She had no real grudge against Yue Shuyi, but his unconditional support for Gu Fuling was giving her a headache.

"Get down from the flower bed right now!"

With a pale face, Gu Fuling walked to the flower bed and looked up at Gu Lingzhi.

Gu Lingzhi lowered her eyes, surrounded by vibrant flowers that exuded an air of nobility and elegance. She took a deep breath and smiled slightly. "I came here out of kindness to help people with their illnesses, but I was not only falsely accused, but also arrested. I don't understand what I did wrong."

Gu Fuling was furious. Seeing that Gu Lingzhi had no intention of getting down from the flower bed, she wished she could just order her men to take her down.

The person she ultimately had to deal with was not Gu Lingzhi, but Mo Jiuxiao.

It's simply because Gu Lingzhi is someone Mo Jiuxiao cares about. As long as he gets hold of her weakness, dealing with Mo Jiuxiao will be much easier.

She had heard the news from the border. Zhao Qiankun, who was originally in the plan, actually died in the assassinations along the way. Otherwise, why would she need to replace him at the last minute?

As long as Gu Lingzhi is afraid of death, and as long as she holds her life in her hands, Gu Fuling is not worried at all that she will disobey.

However, things are now somewhat out of their control.

"You know what you've done. Don't act like you've been wronged. You...you're incredibly audacious!"

Gu Fuling shouted angrily, but her heart was screaming.

Gu Lingzhi lowered her eyes, reached out, and picked a flower from the side.

Seeing the blue flower lose its life in her hands, Yue Shuyi's eyes changed slightly.

He gently pushed Gu Fuling aside and strode to the flower bed: "Tampering with my teacher's things is a capital offense!"

Gu Lingzhi wasn't worried at all. She separated the petals in her hand and carefully looked at the flower's heart inside.

"It seems that the Grand Preceptor is quite interested in these flowers."

Gu Lingzhi could sense that there were many things she didn't know.

For example, why does this Grand Preceptor care about these flowers and plants? And what methods did Gu Fuling use to make him so devoted to her?

Yue Shuyi took a long sword from the maid beside him and pointed it directly at Gu Lingzhi. After all, in Yue Shuyi's eyes, Gu Lingzhi was just an ordinary-looking man.

He was also a man who had bullied Gu Fuling.

He lightly flipped the longsword in his hand, and a cold light poured out. Gu Fuling quickly said, "Brother Yue, you are not well yet, you must not fight!"

But his eyes were already red, so he couldn't listen anymore.

Having tested the waters enough, Gu Lingzhi saw the man rushing towards her and quickly retreated.

As soon as her foot landed, a chill ran down her neck, and Gu Lingzhi quickly threw a handful of flower petals away.

The petals fell to the ground, broken and scattered.

Yue Shuyi held a flower petal, her eyes seeming to be touched, instantly filled with sorrow.

Gu Lingzhi was surprised that the other party stopped chasing her. She stopped and stared at Yue Shuyi, while Gu Fuling went over and whispered words of comfort.

"They're just some flowers; they'll bloom again."

Yue Shuyi nodded, but the warmth in his eyes was completely gone.

Having spent so much time with Yue Shuyi, Gu Fuling knew his temperament well. Her tone was filled with disappointment: "I won't pursue this anymore, okay? It doesn't matter how much he bullies me. If it weren't my fault, these flowers wouldn't have..."

Yue Shuyi finally came to her senses.

He patted Gu Fuling's head with great tolerance and picked up his sword again: "How about I take his life to avenge you?"

Gu Fuling quickly shook her head.

As an important pawn, Gu Lingzhi cannot be allowed to die easily.

"I don't want his life, I just want to catch her and teach her a lesson. All you have to do is... just help me catch her."

Yue Shuyi focused his mind again, but his breathing became somewhat disordered.

He walked towards Gu Lingzhi step by step. This time, Gu Lingzhi didn't run away. She put her hands behind her back and waited for him to come over without dodging.

Just as Yue Shuyi thrust his longsword forward, Gu Lingzhi spoke softly: "Your illness is not incurable."

The longsword was already at the tip of her nose, but it stopped abruptly.

With a loud crash, the longsword let out a mournful cry and broke in two.

Upon hearing the faint footsteps, everyone in the courtyard turned to look towards the courtyard gate.

But all they saw was a dark figure appear in their eyes.

Mo Jiuxiao's eyes were filled with extreme coldness, and his thin lips parted slightly, revealing a terrifying and bone-chilling killing intent: "You want to touch my people?"
