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

Chapter 81 Wait until I'm too old to continue before you go for it.

Yue Shuyi paused, his teacup still in his hand: "Why would the Emperor send me?"

Under normal circumstances, the emperor would only be consulted if the emperor's condition was so serious that the imperial physicians were unable to handle it.

Gu Lingzhi shook her head. She knew all too well Gu Fuling's methods. It would be incredibly easy for her to persuade the emperor: "Don't forget that she now has a prince by her side. Even if the emperor only cares about the grandson, he will still agree. What will the Grand Preceptor do then?"

Yue Shuyi remained silent.

He already understood Gu Lingzhi's thoughts. If he went to see Gu Fuling today, she would definitely not tell him the truth.

But none of that matters; what matters is Gu Lingzhi's cunning.

Even things he hadn't considered, she had thought through clearly.

Yue Shuyi lowered her eyes: "I told you, I won't go!"

Gu Lingzhi was very satisfied with Yue Shuyi's answer: "That's what you said."

A bright light slowly approached from a distance, and some people dressed as palace eunuchs, carrying lanterns, came to the gate of this somewhat secluded Imperial Academy.

Yue Shuyi immediately stood up.

The head eunuch was a trusted confidant of the Emperor, whom Gu Lingzhi had met before. At this moment, the man stood directly in front, his face expressionless, and said, "By imperial decree, the Third Prince's Consort is seriously ill. The Imperial Advisor is requested to go to the Third Prince's residence to treat her!"

Yue Shuyi's expression changed instantly.

He subconsciously looked in Gu Lingzhi's direction. He originally thought that Gu Lingzhi's words were just empty talk, but he never expected that Gu Fuling would actually invite the Emperor's troops over.

Yue Shuyi raised her head slightly and looked at the eunuch, saying, "I am seriously ill tonight and feel dizzy and lightheaded. I am afraid I will not be able to treat others. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"This……"

The young eunuch was in a dilemma.

However, after looking Yue Shuyi up and down, she said in a shrill voice, "I will report to His Majesty the truth. Since the Grand Preceptor is not feeling well, please rest early."

Yue Shuyi watched those people leave, dismissing them so casually, which was within his authority as the Imperial Preceptor.

Although the emperor would blame him tomorrow, nothing moved him more than the truth before his eyes.

Seeing that all obstacles were clear and understanding Yue Shuyi's determination, Gu Lingzhi said, word by word, "Since the Grand Preceptor has made up his mind, then I will speak."

Yue Shuyi nodded, her heart clenching tightly.

……

In the dead of night, the Third Prince's residence was far from peaceful. Several elderly imperial physicians stood at the entrance, each with a furrowed brow and a look of deep resentment on their faces.

Gu Fuling lay on the bed, her gaze sweeping over the red rash on the back of her hand. When she saw the green-clad maid she had sent out to deliver the message return, her eyes showed a hint of anxiety: "Well, did Yue Shuyi agree to come?"

The maid gritted her teeth and shook her head: "Your Highness, when I went there, the Grand Preceptor was discussing matters with a man. That man was the one the Ninth Prince brought back."

Gu Fuling's expression changed drastically, and she gritted her teeth: "And then?"

The maid in green looked furious, her eyes filled with utter grievance: "Your Highness, I've said everything I could, and I finally managed to persuade the Imperial Preceptor to come, but he was intercepted on the way. I don't know what he's got on the Imperial Preceptor's head, but he had no choice but to come."

Gu Fuling was stunned for a moment, then her anger flared up instantly. She angrily smashed the teacup on the table to the ground, scaring the maid into trembling.

Her eyes were filled with servility, and her originally fair cheeks flushed red.

Looking down at the back of her hand, Gu Fuling's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "What did the Emperor say?"

"Your Majesty, His Majesty did indeed send someone to find the Imperial Preceptor, but they said he was unwell and unable to come tonight."

This means that Yue Shuyi will not care about her life or death tonight, no matter what.

Gu Fuling felt a severe tightness in her chest, a feeling of stagnation that prevented her from venting her emotions.

Gently biting her lower lip, Gu Fuling closed her eyes.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she said to the maid, "Go and call Doctor Li from outside. I have something to say to him."

"Yes!"

The maidservant quickly got up and went out to announce her arrival. A moment later, a middle-aged man known as Doctor Li entered with a fawning smile: "Does Your Highness the Third Prince's Consort have any instructions?"

Gu Fuling glanced at the back of her hand, then touched the small red dot that had been pricked by a needle during the day with her fingertip, a ruthless look appearing on her lips: "Go tell the Emperor that I was poisoned, and the poisoning occurred on my hand."

Imperial Physician Li, observing Gu Fuling's expression, immediately understood what she was about to do and nodded directly: "Your Majesty, rest assured."

He took out a small porcelain bottle and said with some difficulty, "Now that Your Majesty has a child, taking poison at will will inevitably damage your internal organs. I have some mildly toxic medicines here. As long as they are applied, they will cause symptoms of poisoning without harming Your Majesty's body."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fuling nodded in satisfaction: "You did well. Just wait and see how things go for me in the future. You'll definitely get your share of the rewards."

"Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty!"

The imperial physician immediately withdrew, got into a carriage, and sped off to the palace to report.

Meanwhile, at the National Academy, Yue Shuyi, who had just heard Gu Lingzhi's words, was still in a daze for a long time.

Even Mo Jiuxiao, who was sitting on the side watching the commotion, couldn't help but look at Gu Lingzhi. He didn't seem to notice that the tea in his hand had gone cold.

Gu Lingzhi raised her eyebrows slightly, took a sip of water to moisten her throat, and said, "I don't know, does the Imperial Advisor think what I said makes sense?"

Her story was simple, yet it seemed unbelievable.

Yue Shuyi narrowed his eyes, his shock beyond words: "So, you mean to say that I am the son of the Emperor of Beiyi?"

Gu Lingzhi did not answer his question, but instead asked him in return, "How did your original father treat you when you were young?"

"Excellent."

Yue Shuyi did not hide anything and said it directly. As the Crown Prince of Lanyue, he was born into a noble family. Although he was in poor health, he enjoyed the love of his parents when he was young.

But everything changed dramatically when he was ten years old.

This is the main reason why he has been trying to find the truth.

Gu Lingzhi exclaimed in surprise, “Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. There are some things that even the Grand Preceptor himself cannot see through, but I, as an outsider, can see some things more clearly. When you were a child, your parents must have been very loving. When your mother suddenly died, your father not only did not search for the real culprit, but immediately sent you to the Northern Yi Kingdom. Don’t you think there’s something very wrong with this?”

Of course he thought of that.

But how could he possibly have come up with this answer?

When he was a teenager, his loving parents suddenly turned against each other, and overnight he became someone else's son... This was too surreal for him.

However, the attitude of the King of Beiyi really piqued his curiosity.

When Mingming first arrived, he lived a miserable life and almost died. If Gu Fuling hadn't saved his life, he probably wouldn't be where he is today.

However, the other party's attitude also changed overnight.

However, if it weren't for this hatred accompanying him, Yue Shuyi probably wouldn't want to live anymore.

"Why should I believe you? Are you suggesting that a story you made up is the truth?"

Gu Lingzhi stood up: "Since you don't believe me, I naturally have a way to make you believe me. I've said before that I will present the evidence to you little by little. This is just the beginning!"

Yue Shuyi did not object to this point: "Alright, I hope you can keep your word this time."

Gu Lingzhi raised her head, a smile playing on her lips: "Of course, you can't go back on your word. As for Gu Fuling, whether you want to visit her after tonight is none of my business."

The group's conversation had come to an end. Gu Lingzhi stretched lazily, exuding a lazy aura.

A look of weariness flashed across his clear eyes, and Mo Jiuxiao pulled him into his arms without any hesitation.

Yue Shuyi's eyes looked somewhat uneasy.

After all, Gu Lingzhi was dressed as a man, and Yue Shuyi couldn't see any woman-like mannerisms in her personality.

So even though he had heard Mo Jiuxiao admit that the two of them were in a relationship, Yue Shuyi still felt extremely restrained when it was actually in front of him.

"No delivery!"

Yue Shuyi bowed to Mo Jiuxiao's retreating figure.

Mo Jiuxiao didn't turn around, nor did he say anything flattering; he left with a cold face.

However, when Mo Jiuxiao and Gu Lingzhi returned to the entrance of their resting quarters, they saw a group of imperial guards surrounding the gate.

Upon seeing the two return, the commander of the Imperial Guards knelt on one knee before Mo Jiuxiao: "This humble general has received His Majesty's order to apprehend the suspect!"

Gu Lingzhi's eyes cleared for a moment. She rubbed her forehead and lowered her gaze slightly to stare at the soldier's face: "The suspect you're talking about, could it be me?"

The junior officer looked up and glanced at Gu Lingzhi: "That's right!"

He gently raised one hand and waved it, and more than a dozen people quickly surrounded her. When Mo Jiuxiao saw that these people were determined not to let him sleep with Gu Lingzhi, his face turned gloomy and somewhat frightening.

"Your Majesty wishes to arrest someone, but has he consulted my opinion?"

The leader spoke with unwavering integrity: "This humble general was merely acting under orders; please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Upon hearing these forceful words, Mo Jiuxiao's eyes grew even colder: "If you want to snatch someone from my hands, you'll have to see how you manage to defeat me!"

The leader was stunned.

He looked at Mo Jiuxiao's expression with some surprise, pondered for a moment, but then gave the order without hesitation: "Arrest him!"

With a single, decisive word, a dozen or so imperial guards armed with weapons rushed forward, but dared not direct their killing intent at Mo Jiuxiao, instead targeting Gu Lingzhi, the easy target.

Gu Lingzhi rubbed her wrists. When she saw Mo Jiuxiao step forward, she grabbed his sleeve and said, "I haven't been idle these past few days. Wait until I'm done before you go!"
