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

Chapter 86 Who are you?

Gu Fuling's expression changed drastically. Her face turned ashen, and she stood frozen in place, completely motionless.

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of grievance, and looked at Mo Liufeng with a pleading expression.

Mo Liufeng frowned, a hint of surprise appearing in his delicate eyes.

After all, in his opinion, Mo Jiuxiao really had no need to offend the entire Third Prince's residence for the sake of an ordinary servant.

Moreover, he had only met Gu Lingzhi once, so it was even less likely that he would side with her.

“Ninth Prince, although my sister-in-law did act somewhat improperly before, she does represent the face of the royal family, so you can’t go too far.”

Although Mo Liufeng was very displeased with Mo Jiuxiao's approach, he still calmly discussed the matter with him.

He concealed the dissatisfaction in his eyes, lowered his head slightly, and gave Mo Jiuxiao full respect.

Mo Jiuxiao narrowed his eyes, looked Mo Liufeng up and down, and uttered three words indifferently: "Who are you?"

Mo Liufeng: "..."

He was speechless, never expecting that after standing here and talking for so long, Mo Jiuxiao didn't even know who he was.

That's quite normal, though. Three years ago, Mo Liufeng was still living in the Cold Palace, while Mo Jiuxiao had already left the capital. And now, this is the first time they've met.

Mo Liufeng remained calm and composed, neither angry nor annoyed: "Uncle Ninth Prince may not recognize the Emperor's nephew. I am the current Fourth Prince, Mo Liufeng."

Upon hearing this name, Mo Jiuxiao seemed to have some recollection of it.

A dark glint flashed in his eyes, his lips were taut, but the probing in his eyes was very obvious.

"Mo Liufeng...is your mother Consort Jing, who lives in the Cold Palace?"

Mo Liufeng's pupils contracted sharply upon hearing the name "Consort Jing".

His hands, hanging by his sides, slowly tightened, and a complex emotion, difficult to decipher, appeared in his eyes.

However, he still smiled faintly and said, "It is indeed my mother!"

Mo Jiuxiao nodded slightly: "If that's the case, when did you start standing with the Third Prince and the others?"

Mo Liufeng sensed that Mo Jiuxiao's words had a hidden meaning. Although he didn't completely believe them, he still felt that something was amiss.

"What do you mean by that, Ninth Prince?"

Gu Fuling immediately raised her head and said loudly, "Ninth Prince, what's wrong with the Fourth Prince and Jinghan having a good relationship? Does Your Highness want to see the princes kill each other?"

Her eyes were firm, even revealing a strong sense of doubt, as if Mo Jiuxiao's words were meant to sow discord.

Gu Lingzhi's lips curled up slightly. "Is the Third Prince's Consort feeling guilty? Did the Prince say anything?"

Gu Fuling knew she had been too hasty, so she immediately lowered her head and remained silent.

However, Mo Jiuxiao's words had clearly stirred Mo Liufeng's mind. His eyes were filled with uncertainty, and he couldn't discern Mo Jiuxiao's thoughts for a moment.

"I beg Ninth Prince, for the sake of my mother, not to make things too difficult for my sister-in-law!"

After thinking for a long time, Mo Liufeng made his final choice.

Gu Lingzhi helplessly looked away.

Since Gu Fuling's rebirth, she has indeed been surrounded by a lot of halos. Gu Lingzhi occasionally recalled the words written in the book and felt that they were very ridiculous.

Taking advantage of her position, she laid the groundwork for herself early on, not only gaining the sincere assistance of Yue Shuyi and Situ Ming, but also successfully winning over the carefree and unrestrained Fourth Prince, Mo Liufeng.

Gu Lingzhi couldn't hold back any longer. She stepped out from behind Mo Jiuxiao, her expression turning cold and stern. In any case, in front of everyone, she and Mo Jiuxiao were both upright villains, so she didn't need to worry about gains or losses when she acted.

"Fourth Prince, this is a private matter between me and the Third Prince's wife. What business is it of yours? What right do you have to meddle in my affairs now that you stand before me?"

A fleeting glimmer of light flashed across Mo Liufeng's peach blossom eyes.

He gently curved the corners of his lips into a smile and slowly shook his head: "I have no position."

"In that case, I would like to ask the Fourth Prince to leave this place as soon as possible, while I am still in a good mood."

Gu Lingzhi spoke calmly, but there was a hint of warning in her words.

The book contains very little description of Mo Liufeng, and Gu Lingzhi doesn't know much about him either.

The fourth prince, Mo Liufeng, is fond of beautiful women and spends his days indulging in pleasure. He is relentlessly pursuing Sun Qingrou, the daughter of the Grand Tutor, simply because she is known as the most beautiful woman in the capital.

Unfortunately, the beauty was heartless; Sun Qingrou looked down on the powerless and unruly playboy Mo Liufeng.

Mo Liufeng repeatedly failed to win her over, and he couldn't stop thinking about her. Whenever Sun Qingrou went out, he would secretly follow her. But his nature didn't change. While he was thinking about Sun Qingrou, he was still in the brothel, embracing two women.

Gu Lingzhi turned her gaze to Mo Liufeng, but vaguely sensed that this person was not at all like the one described in the book.

This is a significant discovery.

Because many things are gradually changing under the butterfly effect, she doesn't know whether this change is good or bad, but she will still change according to her own ideas.

Mo Liufeng stared at Gu Lingzhi's face with his slender eyes: "But I can't just stand by and watch you bully people too much."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingzhi couldn't help but laugh. Her sudden laughter, which had been accompanied by a cold expression, left Mo Liufeng speechless.

"why are you laughing?"

Gu Lingzhi rolled her eyes: "I laugh at your stupidity. You keep saying I'm going too far, but do you know why the Emperor sent her to apologize?"

Mo Liufeng's voice faltered: "Of course I know, but wasn't that your scheme?"

Although Gu Lingzhi didn't know how Gu Fuling had spoken to Mo Liufeng, she could guess what it was.

Looking down at Gu Fuling, who was still frozen in place, Gu Lingzhi's words carried a hint of interrogation: "Third Prince's Consort, you falsely accused me of poisoning you, and I caught you red-handed. Do you admit to this?"

Gu Fuling's shoulders trembled slightly when she saw that everyone's eyes were on her.

She lowered her head and gritted her teeth: "That's pure fabrication!"

A look of "I knew it" flashed across Mo Liufeng's eyes.

Gu Lingzhi wasn't in a hurry, and replied with a hint of sarcasm, "Since you don't think you're guilty, then why are you here today to apologize?"

Gu Fuling lowered her head, feeling that her plans had been interrupted by Gu Lingzhi and that things were starting to slip out of her control: "Father only wanted me to appease Ninth Prince's anger, so what does it matter if Fuling suffers some grievances?"

As expected of Gu Fuling, even in a very dangerous situation, she can still find an excuse to declare her righteousness.

Gu Lingzhi walked up to Gu Fuling, her eyes raging with a stormy tide: "Gu Fuling, Heaven is watching what people do. If you betray your conscience, those wronged souls might come looking for you in the dead of night."

She smiled and gently patted her shoulder.

Gu Fuling suddenly raised her head, her eyes meeting Gu Lingzhi's gaze directly. The other's deep gaze made her heart tremble violently.

Gu Fuling felt that those eyes were very familiar, but no matter what she did, she couldn't remember where she had seen them before.

A sense of danger sent chills down her spine, and she spoke, her face deathly pale: "I have done what I needed to do today. Even if I go to Father Emperor, I will have my own explanation. Ninth Prince, Fuling takes her leave!"

She straightened her chest, her eyes concealing a great deal of panic.

Mo Liufeng glanced at Gu Lingzhi, his eyes gleaming slightly, and followed Gu Fuling out of the courtyard.

Gu Fuling's back looked somewhat frail and desolate, as if she had been bullied terribly. Gu Lingzhi gently curved the corners of her lips and slowly rubbed her fingertips together.

A speck of powder was scattered by the wind and fell into the dust, as if nothing could be seen.

Mo Jiuxiao stood still, his long hair swaying gently in the wind, his long robe accentuating his slender waist.

A jade-colored belt was tied around her waist, which made Gu Lingzhi take a second look at it.

"Has the prince returned from his martial arts training?"

Gu Lingzhi withdrew her gaze and saw that Mo Jiuxiao's face was gloomy and he was in a bad mood, so she broke the silence by making conversation.

Mo Jiuxiao lowered his eyes, stretched out his hands, and placed them directly on Gu Lingzhi's shoulders.

When her chin was pinched, Gu Lingzhi looked up in surprise. The owner of the hand didn't use much force, and she didn't feel much discomfort.

Since returning to the palace, Mo Jiuxiao's attitude towards her has been quite amiable. Although she didn't know what he was thinking, it changed Gu Lingzhi's opinion of him considerably.

"I don't like seeing other people touch you!"

His voice was cold, and his eyes revealed a strong possessiveness.

Gu Lingzhi frowned, but a feeling of rejection welled up from the bottom of her heart when she heard these words.

Her good mood vanished instantly, and Gu Lingzhi said, word by word, "I'm not anything to the prince. It's my freedom to associate with whoever I want."

For some reason, Gu Lingzhi instinctively uttered these words of resistance, and then naturally saw a deeper chill in Mo Jiuxiao's eyes.

He released her hand, but pulled her directly into his arms. Gu Lingzhi was so tightly bound that she could hardly breathe. She struggled a little and asked, "Mo Jiuxiao, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Lingzhi couldn't quite explain her feelings for the man in front of her.

She couldn't say she liked or disliked him, but sometimes the feeling of being protected by him was something she had never experienced before in her life.

Mo Jiuxiao finally released her, but held her wrist firmly with one hand: "Come on, I'll take you to demolish the prince's residence."

"what?"

Gu Lingzhi was taken aback, but then she saw Mo Jiuxiao grab her and walk out without saying a word.

She was pulled and staggered for a moment, but quickly regained her balance.

Walking through the winding corridor, Mo Jiuxiao didn't utter a single word the entire way, and Gu Lingzhi's arms even got sore from being pulled.

They encountered many palace guards on the way, all staring wide-eyed at Mo Jiuxiao and Gu Lingzhi as they walked past. It took them a long time to recover from their shock.

"Is that the person that caused such a stir before, the one that the Ninth Prince was going to marry?"

"It seems...so it is!"

Gu Lingzhi could be considered a celebrity in the palace.

Unbeknownst to her, the entire capital was already buzzing with talk about her.
