Chapter 85 Demolishing the Prince's Residence

Gu Lingzhi found it quite easy to deal with the maids, and since Gu Fuling was already slumped on the ground unable to move, she wasn't worried about what the other party might do.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Lingzhi kicked the maids to the ground, unable to get up. She stood high in front of Gu Fuling, her eyes lowered, without a trace of emotion in them.

“Gu Fuling, when you made your choice, you should have already understood what price you would have to pay if you failed.”

Gu Fuling clutched her wrist and slumped to the ground, her back soaked with cold sweat. She secretly cursed herself for being unprepared and suffering a great loss at Gu Lingzhi's hands: "Don't be so smug. You can only act as an accomplice because Ninth Prince is still interested in you. Once Ninth Prince loses interest in you, I will definitely show you what it means to wish you were dead."

Gu Lingzhi grabbed Gu Fuling's hair, and Gu Fuling screamed in pain.

Just then, a commotion arose at the entrance of the courtyard where Gu Lingzhi lived.

Gu Fuling's face lit up with joy, but her expression instantly turned aggrieved and disheveled.

Gu Lingzhi vaguely sensed something, glanced at the courtyard gate, and saw a somewhat unfamiliar figure appear before her.

He was clearly a man, but his captivating eyes shone brightly, and his bright red brocade robe accentuated his bewitching and alluring charm.

The man, with a half-smile, shoved aside the two maids blocking his way and strode into the pavilion. When he saw Gu Fuling kneeling on the ground, a look of pity flashed in his eyes. Completely disregarding Gu Lingzhi, he helped her up from the ground.

Gu Lingzhi's expression turned serious as she stared at the man's retreating figure, her voice turning cold: "Who are you?"

The man in red seemed to only just notice Gu Lingzhi.

He glanced to the side, a slight smirk playing on his lips, a smile like that of a smiling tiger.

This expression immediately reminded Gu Lingzhi of Bai Lianchuan, who was far away at the border.

"The current fourth prince, Mo Liufeng, may I ask who you are?"

His eyes were full of smiles. He clearly saw through everything, and his eyes showed no interest in knowing who Gu Lingzhi was, yet he still asked the question again.

Gu Lingzhi did not hide anything, but her eyes remained calm and showed no fluctuation upon seeing the prince: "Gu Zhi, the attendant of the Ninth Prince!"

"A mere servant has stirred up such a huge storm in the entire palace, even making the princess kneel down. You... you really have a lot of nerve!"

When he uttered the last sentence, it carried an inexplicable sharpness and imposing aura.

Gu Lingzhi glanced at Mo Liufeng, who was supporting Gu Fuling, and said softly, "It is said that the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince have a very good relationship. It seems that those rumors are not false. They are so close that they do not distinguish between men and women when it comes to their sister-in-law."

Mo Liufeng was taken aback and moved the hand that was supporting Gu Fuling.

Gu Fuling vaguely sensed this, and her face flushed with shame and anger: "Liufeng, don't listen to his nonsense."

Gu Lingzhi, of course, spared no effort in smearing Gu Fuling: "Am I talking nonsense? So many eyes are watching, including mine!"

Gu Fuling sneered, her back teeth clenched: "If we're talking about this, you're truly immoral. You're clearly a man, yet you've gone to great lengths to entangle yourself with Ninth Prince. In all my years, I've never seen such a shameless person as you."

Gu Lingzhi looked at her with a half-smile.

Upon hearing this, Mo Liufeng's disgust deepened, and he visibly took a step back, as if Gu Lingzhi were some kind of plague.

"This is something that the Prince and I are doing willingly. Is it any of our business to outsiders? Or is it that the Princess Consort and the Fourth Prince are also doing this willingly and feel that it's none of their business?"

Gu Fuling's face turned green from what she was being told.

She quickly pulled her arm away from Mo Liufeng's grasp, letting the two lightly injured maids support her, her heart pounding with anger.

Seeing Gu Fuling's reaction, Mo Liufeng's eyes flashed with a complex emotion, but he also naturally withdrew his hand.

"You are quick-witted, I underestimated you, but I will never let you get away with insulting my sister-in-law today."

The red dress fluttered in the wind, and a murderous intent appeared on Mo Liufeng's slightly flamboyant face.

Seeing that Mo Liufeng was angry, Gu Lingzhi couldn't help but smile: "Fourth Prince, are you going to avenge your sister-in-law? Kill me, or..."

Mo Liufeng interrupted her directly: "Kill you? No way, I've seen you before. You were the bodyguard standing next to Zhang Rong at the casino, weren't you?"

Gu Lingzhi nodded: "Exactly."

Although her answer was very brief, Gu Lingzhi's eyes sharpened as she looked at Mo Liufeng thoughtfully.

Unexpectedly, Mo Liufeng was also there at that time.

It's said that the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince have a good relationship, and that's probably true. They're so close that they even go to the casino together.

"Why would you target the son of the Minister of Revenue?" Mo Liufeng's eyes held a deep, unfathomable depth, giving off an air of mystery.

Gu Lingzhi suddenly realized that Mo Liufeng, this playboy, might be even more terrifying than his apparent cunning.

She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Everyone says that the fourth prince of the capital is an incompetent playboy who frequents brothels. It seems that this is the falsehood."

"Oh?"

Mo Liufeng was surprised for a moment, as if he was unaware of the outside world's opinion of him. He shook the fan in his hand, and a breeze blew by, lifting a few strands of hair from his forehead: "You flatter me, you flatter me. But those rumors must be true. I can be a womanizer. Compared to power and anything else, what I like most is beautiful women!"

"A beauty like Gu Fuling? Then the Third Prince's eyesight might be a bit off."

Gu Lingzhi was venomous, directly belittling Gu Fuling to the point of being worthless.

Mo Liufeng's eyes flickered, but he did not get angry at this moment.

Gu Fuling was helped to sit on a chair in the distance to rest, still feeling humiliated. She couldn't hear the conversation between Mo Liufeng and Gu Lingzhi at all.

Mo Liufeng held his fan in front of his face, revealing only his peach blossom eyes. He looked Gu Lingzhi up and down with those eyes and said with some disdain, "That's still better than a hard-boiled man like you, isn't it?"

Gu Lingzhi couldn't help but laugh. Seeing Mo Liufeng's expression, she felt that it wouldn't be in line with her personality if she didn't tease him.

She suddenly stepped forward, and Mo Liufeng's expression changed instantly.

"what are you doing?"

Gu Lingzhi reached out and grabbed his sleeve without any politeness. Mo Liufeng's calm expression turned extremely ugly, and the look in his eyes seemed to be as if he wanted to cut the piece of fabric that had come into contact with Gu Lingzhi.

Discovering this amusing scene, Gu Lingzhi couldn't help but chuckle to herself. She calmly approached him, and when she sensed Mo Liufeng stiffen, she let out a soft laugh.

Mo Liufeng's face darkened immediately upon hearing that laugh.

Gu Lingzhi's eyes seemed to sparkle: "I never expected the Third Prince to be so innocent!"

Mo Liufeng sighed, "I've never been this close to a man before. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Ninth Prince?"

Mo Liufeng already knew that Gu Lingzhi was deliberately teasing him, and the emotions that were originally on his face disappeared. Not to be outdone, he moved closer to Gu Lingzhi and deliberately put his hands on her shoulders.

"Although I haven't tested it before, I didn't feel any nausea when you touched me just now. Why don't you abandon Ninth Prince and try it with me?"

Gu Lingzhi stared at those fox-like eyes for a moment.

He slapped Mo Liufeng's hand away, his eyes growing colder. He really couldn't do anything about the rogue aura that emanated from the other party's very bones.

"Fourth Prince, you've misunderstood. Compared to Ninth Uncle, you're nothing but a prince with no power or influence, only a title. Why should I give up everything I've gained to follow you?"

The mockery in Gu Lingzhi's eyes was very obvious.

That arrogant attitude made me so angry I had a stomachache.

These were words that should have infuriated him, but when they came from Gu Lingzhi's mouth, Mo Liufeng couldn't understand why he didn't find them too offensive.

It's possible that Gu Lingzhi's actions just now changed his opinion of her.

It's also possible that his interest in her stemmed from their time at the casino.

"You're so funny!"

Mo Liufeng gave Gu Lingzhi a four-word evaluation.

Gu Lingzhi clearly sensed deep malice in this statement: "The Fourth Prince is equally interesting!"

She squinted and said the words in a serious tone, which made Mo Liufeng burst out laughing.

However, a figure appeared in everyone's sight, causing Mo Liufeng's laughter to stop abruptly.

Gu Lingzhi looked up and saw Mo Jiuxiao's figure not far away. She ran out of the pavilion in one stride.

Mo Liufeng stood motionless. When he saw Gu Lingzhi standing next to Mo Jiuxiao, the usually cold and aloof man's expression deepened after he brought her into his protective circle.

Gu Fuling also stood up. Seeing that the owner of the courtyard had arrived, she stepped forward and bowed, accompanied by several maids: "Ninth Prince, Fuling has come in person to apologize, but this servant of yours has clearly humiliated me. I beg you, Ninth Prince, to give me an explanation!"

Mo Jiuxiao glanced at Gu Lingzhi, only to see Gu Lingzhi wink at him.

He lowered his eyes, walked up to Gu Fuling with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were filled with a hint of coldness: "Didn't you come here to apologize?"

Gu Fuling was taken aback, but dared not meet Mo Jiuxiao's gaze.

To her, Mo Jiuxiao was simply a demon.

"Poria cocos does have this intention, but..."

Before Gu Fuling could finish speaking, Mo Jiuxiao cut her off, silencing her.

"Your Majesty!"

Two simple words, devoid of surprise, anger, sorrow, or joy, and not even containing a trace of emotion.

Gu Fuling's heart skipped a beat, and she tightened her lips.

Even Mo Liufeng couldn't believe that these words actually came from Mo Jiuxiao, who disliked meddling in other people's business.

"Kneel and admit your mistake until he forgives you, otherwise, I will demolish your Third Prince's residence!"
