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

Chapter 76 He Wants My Life

Gu Fuling shook her head, her face pale.

Mo Jinghan strode out from behind, grabbed Gu Fuling's wrist, and looked at Huo Lianyue with some displeasure: "If you want to find someone, there are plenty of palace maids outside. Don't make things difficult for my wife!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Fuling looked up with gratitude and gripped Mo Jinghan's wrist tightly.

The two openly displayed their affection in the imperial court, which drew admiration from many ministers.

Huo Lianyue's voice was slightly cold and sharp: "The Third Prince's Consort wasn't born at that time, so what's there to be afraid of? It's just a drop of blood, is she that delicate?"

Mo Jinghan pursed his lips and remained silent, while Gu Fuling hid behind him and refused to come out.

But just then, she suddenly felt a pain in the back of her hand.

A silver needle suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pierced the back of her hand. Although it wasn't deep, it still startled her for a moment.

"it hurts!"

Gu Fuling covered her hand and dropped the silver needle on the ground. Huo Lianyue thought for a moment and then picked it up without a second thought.

Mo Jinghan held Gu Fuling's wrist with one hand, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings, only to see that Mo Jiuxiao was actually fiddling with two silver needles between his fingers.

As for who could do such a thing in full view of everyone without fear of punishment, that person's identity is self-evident.

"Ninth Prince Uncle!"

Mo Jinghan's tone was somewhat angry.

Mo Jiuxiao slightly raised his eyes, his tone utterly indifferent: "I can't stand women who live a life of luxury!"

Gu Fuling's face suddenly changed color. She covered her hands with a wronged expression, her eyes slightly red, as if she had suffered a huge blow.

Mo Jinghan's face was grim, but after glancing at the direction of the Emperor and the ministers, he had no choice but to swallow his anger: "Is Ninth Prince taking advantage of his seniority to bully a junior?"

Mo Jiuxiao didn't even lift his eyelids: "So what if it is?"

Mo Jinghan was furious, but just then, he heard Huo Lianyue exclaim in surprise: "It's changed!"

"What has changed?"

The Emperor's tone was tinged with surprise and doubt, and his gaze swept uncertainly across Huo Lianyue's face.

Huo Lianyue gently presented the cup, placing it directly in front of the Emperor.

The originally bright red blood indeed turned dark black, showing a very obvious change.

"What...what exactly happened? Whose blood is this?"

Seeing the Emperor hesitate, Huo Lianyue quickly said, "It belongs to the Third Prince's Consort!"

Although her tone was calm, she was extremely shocked.

She had already resigned herself to death, but unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn.

When Gu Fuling heard Huo Lianyue's words, she staggered for a moment. If Mo Jinghan hadn't supported her, she probably would have fallen to the ground.

Gu Lingzhi gently rubbed her fingertips together, standing on either side watching the fire from across the river.

The Emperor's lips tightened, and he lowered his eyes slightly: "Huo Lianyue, try your own blood again!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Lianyue's heart froze.

Even though she had already found someone more suitable, the Emperor still insisted that she give it a try.

Huo Lianyue instantly understood the Emperor's thoughts. Without the slightest hesitation, she used the original silver needle, dipped it in her own blood, and placed it in the cup.

She stared intently at the dissolved blood bead, but its color remained unchanged.

This scene left everyone speechless for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Huo Lianyue's blood, like that of the three women, was useless.

Upon seeing this scene, Huo Lianyue suddenly believed Gu Lingzhi's words. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes welled up with tears.

She knelt directly on the ground: "It is the truth, Your Majesty. Lian Yue and the Huo family have never done anything to deceive Your Majesty. They have never done it before, and they will never do it now or in the future."

She pledged her loyalty here and was freed, but all the trouble fell on Gu Fuling's shoulders.

Gu Fuling watched the scene unfold before her, a chill creeping into her heart.

Could it be that what Gu Zhi said is true?

She knew perfectly well what her real birth date was, but now that the truth was laid bare before everyone, she couldn't accept the result at all.

How could she possibly trade her own heart for Yue Shuyi's life?

There's no need to even think about it. She's finally been blessed by heaven and given a second chance at life. Her bright future absolutely cannot be ruined here.

With a thud, Gu Fuling knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face. Her eyes were red, but her tone was fierce: "Father, this is absolutely impossible. The other party is clearly trying to harm Fuling. Fuling's birth date is on the dossier. If you investigate carefully, you will know the truth."

Gu Lingzhi was waiting for these words from her.

She walked regretfully to Gu Fuling's side: "I never expected that the person I was matched with would be right in front of me. The Third Prince's wife's birthday is such a coincidence, exactly the same as what I said."

"No, you're lying!"

She shook her head frantically, her face deathly pale.

Mo Jinghan lowered his eyes and knelt directly beside Gu Fuling: "Father, I am convinced that it was all a deception created by that person. You must not take it seriously. Moreover, the life of the Imperial Preceptor is precious, and so is the life of Fuling!"

That's true. The Emperor rubbed his forehead heavily, as if he hadn't figured it out yet.

"I understand. You may all leave!"

The emperor's voice sounded somewhat tired, and the ministers immediately shouted "Long live the emperor!" and slowly withdrew from the Golden Palace.

Gu Fuling bit her lower lip, tears still welling in her eyes, as Mo Jinghan helped her out of the Golden Palace.

Gu Lingzhi followed Mo Jiuxiao out with ease, and just as she reached the door, she brushed past Gu Fuling.

Gu Lingzhi looked at her apologetically: "Third Prince's Consort, I never expected things to turn out this way, but what I said is true, there is definitely something wrong with your birthday."

Gu Fuling gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with murderous intent: "What exactly did you do?"

Gu Lingzhi was taken aback. "What methods? It's the truth. If the Third Prince's Consort doesn't accept it, she can simply wait for a second person to appear."

However, it's highly unlikely that a second person will appear.

As if deliberately provoking Gu Fuling, Gu Lingzhi's lips curled into a mocking smile as she took a step away.

Gu Fuling's shoulders were trembling with anger.

Mo Jinghan stared intently, glancing down at Gu Fuling's expression, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.

Now he has realized that this whole thing was a trap set by Gu Lingzhi from the very beginning.

Gu Fuling, however, obediently jumped in as well.

But if this was indeed orchestrated by the man in front of me, then it would be absolutely terrifying. Just the secrets he knows must be numerous.

Who is he?

Mo Jinghan couldn't believe that an ordinary person would have such courage and aura. Moreover, what kind of taste did Mo Jiuxiao have? She hadn't taken a liking to anyone for so many years, so why would she suddenly bring back a man and defy the imperial decree in front of everyone just to marry him?

Mo Jinghan carefully examined Gu Lingzhi's features, his eyes filled with intense interest. Compared to the ever-composed Gu Zhi, Gu Fuling appeared rather weak.

Gu Fuling was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Since her rebirth, she has rarely encountered any major disasters. After all, knowing what the future holds, she has made all the necessary preparations in advance and has also gathered countless loyal followers.

But now, she seems to be facing the biggest crisis of her life.

The ministers who had dispersed around dared not linger, and did not even bother to inquire about the commotion. Huo Lianyue glanced at Gu Lingzhi and Gu Fuling in the distance, then silently turned away.

Minister Huo said in a low voice, "From now on, don't do anything that will attract attention. Try to keep a low profile, and don't go to the military camp casually!"

Huo Lianyue's face was full of dissatisfaction: "Father!"

Minister Huo, however, insisted, "I've spoiled you too much in the past. Maybe you offended someone. Now that you've survived such a calamity, you should cherish this opportunity!"

Huo Lianyue hesitated for a moment, but her tone was somewhat doubtful: "I think that Gu Zhi doesn't seem to be a bad person, and he and the prince are quite a good match."

Minister Huo's face immediately darkened: "What nonsense are you spouting? He wronged you so much before, and you've changed your opinion of him just because nothing happened? Besides, who is the Ninth Prince? How dare you and my daughter discuss him?"

Minister Huo dragged Huo Lianyue away, and the two disappeared around the corner. Just then, a figure walked over from the end of a long corridor.

Yue Shuyi was still wearing a blue robe.

His footsteps were steady and unhurried, and the breeze made his long sleeves flutter, giving him an air of otherworldly elegance.

Mo Jiuxiao frowned. He didn't have much interaction with Yue Shuyi, and he had rarely seen him.

If Gu Lingzhi hadn't been interested in him, Mo Jiuxiao probably wouldn't have even recognized who he was.

"National Division!"

Mo Jinghan first clasped his hands in a salute to Yue Shuyi. Gu Fuling blinked and looked at him with a slightly changed expression: "Grand Preceptor, have you heard about it?"

Although only a short time had passed, Yue Shuyi appeared at the door. He had clearly witnessed the scene that had just taken place in the main hall.

Yue Shuyi pursed his lips and said to Gu Fuling, "You don't need to be afraid. I will plead with the Emperor and I won't go for treatment."

Hearing this, Gu Fuling's eyes widened. She desperately tried to explain her actions: "Shuyi, if my heart can cure you 100%, I will definitely agree. I will sacrifice myself to make you better. But... but I'm worried that even if I die, you won't get better. In that case, there will be no one to accompany you anymore."

Upon hearing Gu Fuling's heartfelt words, which seemed to rip out her very soul, Gu Lingzhi instinctively glanced at Mo Jinghan's expression.

This man is quite something; even though his wife is about to cheat on him, he remains completely unmoved.

Seeing that Gu Lingzhi's eyes were fixed on another man, Mo Jiuxiao was filled with displeasure and tugged at her, saying, "What are you still standing here for? Go back now!"

Just as Gu Lingzhi was about to leave, she heard Gu Fuling's words behind her: "He is the real culprit. It's because I offended him when I was in Linyang, and he has always wanted to kill me!"
