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

Chapter 77 Expose

Gu Fuling was also driven to desperation, so she directly dragged Gu Lingzhi out as a shield.

Yue Shuyi looked at Gu Fuling, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

Gu Lingzhi turned around and smiled at Gu Fuling: "When did the Third Prince's Consort go to Linyang City? How come I didn't know?"

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

Because of Gu Lingzhi's words, Gu Fuling has now become the focus of many people's attention.

A look of disappointment flashed across Mo Jinghan's eyes, but he still stepped forward and grabbed Gu Fuling's arm: "Let's go!"

Gu Fuling knew she had said the wrong thing and dared not stay any longer. She hoped that these people had not heard her at all, but when she saw Yue Shuyi, she frowned slightly.

"Poria cocos!"

Gu Fuling kept her head down and heard Yue Shuyi calling her name from behind, but she did not stop walking.

Just as they were about to cross the corridor with Mo Jinghan, Gu Lingzhi suddenly stepped forward and blocked Gu Fuling's path.

"Didn't the Third Prince say that the Third Prince's Consort has been recuperating in the mansion all this time? Why would the Third Prince's Consort mention Linyang City? You should know that the news of the Linyang City Lord's rebellion and his alliance with Nanhuai had already spread throughout the entire Beiyi."

Her repeated mention of these words caused Mo Jinghan's eyes to turn cold.

But Gu Lingzhi showed no sign of backing down when faced with his gaze.

The ministers who had been walking slower suddenly stopped and all looked over with curiosity. Being stared at by scrutinizing gazes made Gu Fuling tremble slightly.

Gu Fuling gently raised her head, one hand grasping Mo Jinghan's sleeve: "Jinghan, I'm not feeling well, I want to go back and rest."

From beginning to end, she didn't look at Yue Shuyi even once more.

Although Yue Shuyi was in poor health, his mind was incredibly sharp. From initial doubt to current certainty, his feelings towards Gu Fuling had been completely overturned.

This woman was not quite what he had imagined.

Gu Fuling used to care about him and go to great lengths for his illness. She was the person who cared about him the most in the Beiyi Imperial Palace. But now it seems that her care was nothing more than that.

Gu Fuling was preoccupied with the fact that she had mentioned her past in Linyang City in public, so she had no time to consider Yue Shuyi's feelings. Her expression turned slightly unpleasant as she inwardly lamented her unintentional carelessness.

Mo Jinghan pulled her halfway into his arms, his eyes fixed on Gu Lingzhi with a cold, indifferent look: "Get out of the way!"

Gu Lingzhi shook her head. There was only one exit from the main entrance of this corridor. If one wanted to go somewhere else, one would have to climb over the railing. She figured the Third Prince wouldn't do something so shameful.

"If the Third Prince's Consort doesn't give me an explanation, I won't allow it!"

Mo Jinghan was instantly enraged. Gu Fuling had been married to him for many years, and their interests were intertwined. He wouldn't let anything happen to Gu Fuling, regardless of reason or sentiment: "Guards!"

At the Third Prince's command, a large number of Imperial Guards rushed over.

Mo Jiuxiao stepped forward calmly, shielding Gu Lingzhi behind him.

His gaze swept around, intimidating the Imperial Guards who all took a step back, unable to even lift their weapons.

Mo Jiuxiao was a god to all those who joined the army. They had long heard of the Ninth Prince's reputation, so how could they dare to show off their skills in front of the progenitor of killing?

Mo Jinghan narrowed his eyes, feeling as if he had summoned a bunch of useless people.

"Ninth Prince, Fuling is not feeling well. Is there anything you need to ask me later?"

A chilling light flashed in Mo Jiuxiao's eyes, but he ignored Mo Jinghan's words and stared at Gu Fuling with a questioning gaze: "What exactly did the dignified Princess Consort do by going to the border without the Emperor's decree?"

His words were the harshest.

The key issue was pointed out directly, prompting deep thought, and then the story ended with a question, leaving Gu Fuling with the suspicion regardless of whether she had committed treason or not.

"I...I didn't. I just wanted to go to the border to visit an old friend. After learning that he was dead, I went straight back to the capital!"

Gu Fuling's words were half true and half false, but in reality, they were meaningless.

She secretly went to the border to deceive everyone and did something unknown. This alone was enough to greatly diminish her prestige.

Gu Lingzhi slightly curved the corners of her lips, crossed her arms, and her eyes were sharp and piercing: "I heard that back then, Gu Lingzhi, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhenguo's mansion, was exiled to the border to serve in the army. The Third Prince's wife was also a member of the Gu family back then. Could the old friend you mentioned be her?"

Gu Fuling vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

The more she talked, the bigger the loopholes in her words became. Now, Gu Lingzhi even mentioned the Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion, which was wiped out before the New Year.

Because that incident was so bloody, it had been a taboo subject for all the ministers in the capital for a long time.

No one wants to mention that the Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion has disappeared into the long river of history. As for the truth and falsehoods within it, who would want to be involved?

Gu Fuling never wanted to admit that she was a descendant of the Gu family, but it was still being brought up little by little.

With her old wounds reopened, Gu Fuling finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Although I have connections with the Gu family, my heart belongs entirely to His Highness the Third Prince. The Gu family's collusion with the Crown Prince in rebellion is an established fact. You must not drag others into this, nor should you slander me!"

Gu Lingzhi looked at her with a puzzled expression, her smile deepening: "If the Third Prince's Consort is not so close to that Marquis's daughter, why would she travel thousands of miles to the border to visit her?"

Gu Fuling's chest heaved violently with anger, feeling like she was swallowing a bitter pill, unable to express her suffering.

She wasn't trying to see Gu Lingzhi's good qualities at all; she wanted to watch her die.

But how can you say that she deliberately arranged for someone to contact Gu Lingzhi in order to frame the Ministry of War's family?

A look of grievance flashed in her eyes as she buried her face in Mo Jinghan's chest: "I just... have a grudge against that woman and want to see her fate with my own eyes. Is that wrong?"

Gu Lingzhi almost laughed herself sick.

Seeing Gu Fuling making one mistake after another, the knot in her heart completely dissipated.

She crossed her arms and suddenly took another step closer, looking down at Gu Fuling's face as she hid against Mo Jinghan's chest. She asked coldly, "Back then, the Third Prince's Consort personally pleaded with the Emperor for her sister. At that time, countless people praised Your Highness's sentimental character. Now you say you're planning to see what happens to Gu Lingzhi. Don't you think your words are contradictory?"

Gu Fuling is practically digging her own grave.

Then he buried himself in it.

She was speechless for a long time after being stumped by Gu Lingzhi's words.

However, Gu Lingzhi had no intention of giving her a chance to explain: "The Third Prince's Consort is kind by nature, yet she has done such a vicious thing. I wonder which version of you is the real one?"

Gu Fuling suddenly raised her head, staring fiercely at Gu Lingzhi.

She had painstakingly built her reputation over many years, but she never expected that it would be completely destroyed by the man named Gu Zhi in front of her at this moment.

Mo Jinghan's voice was suppressed: "Enough, Fuling, let's go!"

As he spoke, he recklessly charged towards Gu Lingzhi.

It's clearly inappropriate to say these things standing at the main gate of the Golden Palace now. If the Emperor were to hear them, it would have a tremendous impact.

Since the Crown Prince's lineage fell into complete decline, the Third Prince's lineage has become dominant in the court, a situation the Emperor naturally does not want to see.

Therefore, even the Third Prince himself is now acting very cautiously, lest the Emperor feel any desire to suppress him.

He is only one step away from becoming the crown prince, so he absolutely cannot let anyone interfere.

This time, Gu Lingzhi didn't block the way. Instead, she naturally stepped to the side, leaving a passage.

She had said everything she needed to say; as for what happened next, she just needed to wait and see.

Standing not far away, almost forgotten by everyone, Yue Shuyi, who hadn't spoken a word, had a hint of sadness in his eyes. He just never expected that even now, Gu Fuling hadn't told him a single truth.

Yue Shuyi wasn't one to show his emotions, but now his face looked even more fragile than usual.

"Poria cocos..."

Gu Fuling finally remembered Yue Shuyi's matter, and she stopped in surprise at the exit of the corridor and looked back.

A complex look was hidden in Yue Shuyi's eyes. He coughed heavily a few times and asked in a low voice, "Is he really deceiving everyone?"

When Gu Fuling saw Yue Shuyi's hand pointing in the direction of Gu Lingzhi, she nodded heavily: "Of course what she said is false. How could I not know my own birthday?"

Yue Shuyi lowered his eyes, his eyelashes drooping, concealing the last glimmer of light in his eyes. Gu Fuling felt a chill run down her spine, and for some reason, a very ominous premonition welled up within her.

She breathed softly, trying to calm herself, but she couldn't suppress the anger burning in her heart.

It's all Gu Zhi's fault.

If it weren't for him, she would never have ended up in this situation.

She was still unsure of the Emperor's intentions. If the other party insisted on having Gu Zhi take her heart, she would definitely strike first.

But this is the imperial palace, and Gu Zhi rarely leaves the palace, so it's not easy to make a move.

A murderous glint flashed in her eyes, and her hands clenched tightly together.

After a moment of silence, Yue Shuyi finally uttered a few words: "I believe you!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Fuling's eyes lit up instantly, and her gaze towards Yue Shuyi gradually warmed.

"I knew Brother Yue wouldn't believe other people's slander!"

Her eyes were misty with tears, and she gritted her teeth, revealing her unwavering stubbornness.

Yue Shuyi lowered his gaze and suddenly took something out of his sleeve.

The item was very ordinary in workmanship, and you couldn't tell how old it was. He walked up to Gu Fuling and placed the item in her hand.

The moment Gu Fuling saw that thing, her expression changed drastically, and her eyes widened in shock.
