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

Chapter 78 It must have been really tough for you.

"This……"

That thing was none other than the auspicious lock she had lost when she was a child.

But Gu Fuling never imagined that the lock had always been in Yue Shuyi's hands.

Yue Shuyi glanced at Gu Fuling's expression, then gently turned around: "Take care of yourself."

This simple sentence, just four words, already reveals Yue Shuyi's attitude.

Gu Fuling's heart was aching, so much so that she felt she couldn't breathe.

She gripped the lock tightly, her face pale, and shouted at his retreating figure, "Brother Yue, it's not like that, you have to believe me, this... this isn't mine, it belongs to Gu Lingzhi."

She screamed desperately, her voice shrill. It had taken her ten years and countless hardships to win this man's heart and earn his utmost devotion. How could she possibly accept losing him so suddenly?

Gu Lingzhi stood by, fists clasped, watching the show with relish and offering her own commentary.

"That expression is absolutely brilliant; it could probably be turned into a whole bunch of memes."

She murmured with a smirk, when a cold, sharp voice exploded in her ear: "What are emojis?"

Gu Lingzhi then remembered that there was a man with her.

Her eyes flickered, but she didn't continue on this pointless topic.

"It's nothing. What's coming will come eventually. Gu Fuling will pay the price for what she has done."

It would be incredibly easy for Gu Fuling to die, but she didn't like things that weren't challenging enough.

Gu Fuling spent ten years destroying Gu Lingzhi's family, causing the entire Gu family to suffer, and making the original owner die a desperate and tragic death. Although she cannot reverse the situation, she can at least help the original owner vent her anger.

Death would end everything, but that's not the worst thing. A fate worse than death is the most suitable ending for her.

Yue Shuyi had already turned and left.

The somewhat frail figure disappeared around the corner, and Gu Fuling's eyes were filled with despair.

Mo Jinghan stood beside Gu Fuling, supporting her, but he couldn't understand her emotions at all.

"Fuling, what's wrong? What can he do if he doesn't believe you? You still have your husband here!"

Mo Jinghan's soft words helped Gu Fuling regain some composure. She shook her head slightly but said nothing.

"I'm fine, just a little sad. He should know how I've treated him all these years, and now, after just a few words from someone else, he's severed all ties with me. It's really..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingzhi raised an eyebrow and sneered.

The reason Yue Shuyi said those things was probably related to what Gu Fuling said.

That lucky lock belongs to someone else...

Every child in the Gu family has a Ruyi Golden Lock in their hand. When they were young, Gu Lingzhi, her younger brother Gu Manqing, and Gu Fuling each had one.

The one in Gu Manqing's hand, because it was born on the same day as Gu Lingzhi, had the same birth date and zodiac sign.

As for Gu Lingzhi's, it was already lost somewhere when her house was raided.

Gu Lingzhi pulled herself out of her thoughts, but she was still pondering Yue Shuyi's expression.

She raised her eyebrows and said to Mo Jiuxiao, "Ninth Prince, let's go too."

Mo Jiuxiao didn't interfere at all, but as long as this man stood there, it was hard for anyone to ignore him.

He reached out and ruffled Gu Lingzhi's hair, instantly messing up her neatly styled hair.

She pressed down on his wrist with a speechless expression, a scene that was witnessed by Gu Fuling from behind.

Gu Fuling stared intently at Gu Lingzhi's back. She had always thought she had concealed herself well and that the other party couldn't see anything. But now, she finally realized that she had fallen into the other party's trap.

The claim that he didn't recognize her was complete nonsense. He must have already guessed that she was the one who shot him from the city wall.

Gu Fuling's fingers trembled slightly, and she felt a pang of heart palpitation.

She clutched her chest with one hand as she followed Mo Jinghan out of the palace gates and onto the carriage heading back to her residence.

Mo Jinghan rested his head on his arm and sat opposite Gu Fuling.

Gu Fuling raised her head and held Mo Jinghan's hands tightly: "Jinghan, I'm afraid we've met our match. That Gu Zhi is definitely not simple. It seems that I've been played by him from beginning to end."

This was the first time Gu Fuling had felt so powerless since her rebirth.

Yue Shuyi is very important to her because she is now carrying Mo Jinghan's child.

"There's something I wanted to tell you later: I'm pregnant!"

Gu Fuling lowered her head, her cheeks slightly flushed, and gently stroked her lower abdomen with one hand.

She lowered her head, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. The thought that the child would die at birth made her heart ache terribly.

Without the medicinal catalyst, her child would definitely not survive. She had to get her hands on that life-extending Gu no matter what.

Mo Jinghan was stunned when he heard Gu Fuling's words.

A hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he immediately pulled Gu Fuling up from her seat: "How long has it been?"

Gu Fuling saw the expectation in his eyes, and thinking that this man had never seen his child before he died in her previous life, she felt even more choked up.

"The doctor said it's been two months already. I was hoping to give you a surprise, but I never expected something like this to happen today!"

A cold glint flashed in Mo Jinghan's eyes, and his expression instantly turned serious: "My beloved consort, rest assured, I will definitely not let anything happen to you or the child. I'm sure even Father Emperor, upon learning that you are pregnant, will not allow you to do anything dangerous."

Gu Fuling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although things have taken some twists and turns, the child in her womb is now her only support. After all, even the emperor would never lay a hand on a pregnant woman like her.

As for using her heart to save Yue Shuyi's life? That's simply a pipe dream.

"However, what about the Imperial Advisor..."

Gu Fuling raised her head with a very aggrieved expression: "Jinghan, the Imperial Preceptor will definitely be of great help to us in the future. No matter what, we must change his opinion of you and me, otherwise, we may be in big trouble."

Mo Jinghan patted her on the back: "You don't need to worry about this. I'll handle it myself."

Gu Fuling nodded, a look of exhaustion flashing in her eyes. Back in the mansion, she went to her room early and took out the lock that she had been hiding in her sleeve.

A short while later, she found an identical one.

The birth dates engraved on the two gold locks were exactly the same. In the heat of the moment, she accidentally uttered that sentence, but only Gu Fuling herself knew whether it was true or false.

With her teeth slightly clenched, Gu Fuling's face was filled with anger under the dim light.

Since her rebirth, she has never been as disheveled as she is today.

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the doorway, startling Gu Fuling so much that she almost dropped both of her gold locks: "Who's there?"

A gust of cold wind blew in, the door creaked, and a dark figure appeared outside.

Gu Fuling had been frightened enough today, and only after seeing who it was did she finally relax. She looked up at the man kneeling in front of her and felt a little better: "So it's Brother Situ. Get up quickly. Is there something you want to say that you've come so late?"

Situ Ming blushed, but dared not overstep his bounds. When he saw Gu Fuling about to help him up, he quickly took a step back: "Your Majesty, the troops at the border have been deployed."

Gu Fuling breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really hard on you to always have to come and deliver messages like this."

Situ Ming lowered his head: "As long as Your Majesty finds it convenient, I will do whatever it takes."

Gu Fuling nodded and took out a portrait from the cabinet next to her.

She narrowed her eyes, her gaze somewhat grave, and said, "This person is currently in the palace. You should try every means to get rid of him."

The person in the portrait is none other than Gu Lingzhi in the present day.

Situ Ming dared not hesitate. He always obeyed Gu Fuling's words. Although the Marquis of Zhenguo had intended to marry Gu Fuling to him back then, and the two had almost become husband and wife, now he only needed to see her from afar.

He immediately got up, took the portrait, and disappeared into the night.

Having finished the last task, Gu Fuling lay on the bed as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart. She gently touched her stomach, a smug smile playing on her lips.

Although I don't know where this Gu Zhi came from, there's absolutely no way I could fight her.

She looked down and felt an itch on the back of her hand. Her pupils contracted sharply as she saw that many red rashes had appeared on the back of her hand.

The rash spread out in patches, making one's scalp crawl just looking at it on her fair skin.

Gu Fuling immediately cried out in alarm, "Someone, quickly find a doctor!"

With Gu Fuling's shout, the entire Third Prince's residence was brightly lit and descended into chaos.

Inside the quiet Imperial Academy, Gu Lingzhi came to visit alone for the first time.

The sky was dark, but fortunately, she was now a man, and with Mo Jiuxiao backing her up, it wasn't difficult for her to move around the palace at will.

She used the excuse of needing to see the Imperial Advisor to come to his residence for an audience.

Although their last meeting wasn't very pleasant, it gave Gu Lingzhi a general understanding of Yue Shuyi's character.

Just as Gu Lingzhi reached the door, her path was blocked by two maids.

The two attendants, with cold expressions, said directly, "Please leave. The Grand Preceptor is already resting at this time."

If it were Gu Fuling who came, Yue Shuyi would probably see her no matter how late it was. Although Gu Lingzhi understood this, she was not angry: "If the two of you delay the Imperial Preceptor's treatment, can you bear such a crime?"

Gu Lingzhi immediately revealed her identity, and she clearly noticed a slight change in the expressions of the two palace maids.

The two men exchanged a glance, and one of them gritted her teeth and said, "This servant will go in and inform them right away!"

Not long after, the curtain in the courtyard was lifted, and Gu Lingzhi strode in without ceremony.

Yue Shuyi wore a loose white robe, revealing his slightly thin figure. He coughed twice, clutching his chest, and the fatigue in his eyes was impossible to hide.

Gu Lingzhi didn't mind the other party's casual hospitality and went straight to the point.
