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

Chapter 87 Demolished Without a Till

Boarding the carriage that had been prepared beforehand, they quickly arrived at the familiar gates of the mansion. Having spent a night there, Gu Lingzhi knew the way very well.

It only took the two of them half an hour to get here from the capital city. Mo Jiuxiao had a gloomy face the whole way, leaving Gu Lingzhi at a loss for words.

Moreover, she was also looking forward to the demolition of the prince's residence.

After all, given their respective statuses, it was difficult for her to do anything to Gu Fuling in front of everyone. Although Mo Jiuxiao was a prince, this was the palace, and he didn't have many subordinates. In addition, he was already struggling under the suppression of the current emperor, so she didn't want to cause Mo Jiuxiao any trouble.

Therefore, she chose to proceed gradually. Although it didn't seem to have hurt Gu Fuling much, she was secretly undermining all of her support.

Gu Fuling's preparations over so many years could not possibly be uprooted in one fell swoop. But if she were to gradually cut off her tendrils, leaving her all alone in the end, then she would truly be nothing.

The saying goes, "Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose." Gu Lingzhi had nothing, so she had no worries when doing certain things.

Mo Jiuxiao lifted the curtain and stepped down from the carriage.

Gu Lingzhi jumped out of the carriage with him and looked up at the vermilion gate of the Prince's Mansion.

She raised an eyebrow in confusion: "Does Your Highness really intend to demolish this place?"

If it were true, it would cause a huge commotion; perhaps even the emperor would be alarmed.

Mo Jiuxiao glanced at her sideways, his phoenix eyes flashing with cold light. He stood directly on the steps outside the Third Prince's gate, only a leg's distance from the tightly closed gate.

Gu Lingzhi stood at the bottom of the steps, next to the carriage, watching Mo Jiuxiao's back. Just then, she saw Mo Jiuxiao, who was standing there with his hands behind his back, raise his long leg and kick the gate hard.

She didn't know how much force Mo Jiuxiao had used.

Anyway, what she saw was that the solid wood door, inlaid with heavy iron edges and painted with gold, was completely open and hung crookedly on the walls on both sides.

In an instant, dust flew up, and the guards inside were terrified, their faces turning deathly pale and their hats covered in ash.

Four servants rushed out in a panic. Upon seeing Mo Jiuxiao's figure amidst the dust, one of them shouted, "Who goes there?"

Mo Jiuxiao glanced at the man indifferently, then flicked his hand, sending the attendant who was near him flying away.

Gu Lingzhi was deeply shocked and could not calm down for a long time.

The earth-shaking noise just now was actually caused by Mo Jiuxiao.

She composed herself and quickly followed behind Mo Jiuxiao, keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Such a commotion not only shocked the passersby, but also caused a sensation throughout the Third Prince's residence. Gu Fuling had just returned and hadn't even had a chance to sit down when she heard the servants outside reporting the news.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Someone has kicked open the door and broken in!"

Gu Fuling raised an eyebrow, seemingly unconcerned. Her expression turned somewhat grim, and she said coldly, "Where are the guards outside?"

"Your Majesty, the guards can't stop them at all, please go out and see!"

Gu Fuling stood up, slightly annoyed. She had suffered such a great loss in the palace today, and her wrist was still red and swollen. Just thinking about the scene where she was forced to kneel before an ordinary servant made her heart tremble with anger.

She closed her eyes briefly to gather her scattered thoughts, then straightened her clothes, pulled down her long sleeves to cover the humiliating wound, and walked out of the room.

But as soon as they stepped outside, they heard several screams coming from the direction of the courtyard.

The gate leading to the main courtyard was suddenly pushed open, and a figure appeared outside. Gu Lingzhi was standing on a guard from the Third Prince's residence. The moment she looked up, she met the gaze of Gu Fuling, who had just come out of the gate.

The moment Gu Fuling saw her figure, it felt as if the blood in her body froze.

Her lips twitched, and she pointed at Gu Lingzhi, her eyes wide with surprise: "You... how did you end up here?"

Gu Fuling's gaze fell on the guard who was being trampled on the ground by Gu Lingzhi. Only then did she realize that the matter reported by her maid had actually been caused by Gu Lingzhi.

"Somebody come!"

Gu Fuling made a quick decision and shouted.

The order had been given, but no one responded for half a day.

Gu Lingzhi clapped her hands, raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyes, which held a thousand cunning lights, seemed to burst with fireworks.

She slightly curved the corners of her lips and opened the door, which was originally only slightly ajar, a little wider.

Behind her, dozens of guards lay sprawled about, none of them dead, still screaming in pain.

Gu Fuling was trembling with anger. Several maids quickly stood in front of her to protect her. After a short while, a maid dressed in blue stood in front of Gu Fuling with a sword in her hand.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, leave him to Cui'er!"

Gu Lingzhi glanced at the maid holding the sword, her eyes flickering slightly. For a moment, she recalled the cloaked figure she had seen in the direction of the arrow tower the day she fell from the city wall.

Although it was only a glance, they had met before, and she could still vaguely remember some of the face that had flashed by in the darkness.

She immediately raised the corners of her lips at the little maid: "It's you?"

The maid thought Gu Lingzhi was referring to the scene when she took them to the prison, and nodded immediately: "Unauthorized entry into the residence and disturbing the princess consort is a capital offense."

Gu Lingzhi simply smiled when she heard this.

Originally, she didn't want to be in an open adversarial position with Gu Fuling, but what could she do when she had a man behind her who was unwilling to remain silent?

She dusted off her hands, took a step, and walked directly towards Gu Fuling.

Gu Fuling sensed danger and subconsciously took a few steps back, looking somewhat disheveled.

After realizing she was afraid of Gu Lingzhi, Gu Fuling's face flushed red and then turned pale. She pointed in Gu Lingzhi's direction and said, "Kill her!"

This time, she was truly determined to kill.

If she doesn't retaliate swiftly after being attacked at her doorstep, others will likely think she, the princess consort, is easy to bully.

A ferocious glint flashed in Gu Fuling's eyes, and she couldn't help but gasp for breath in anger.

Upon hearing Gu Fuling's words, the maid in blue immediately drew her long sword and thrust it at Gu Lingzhi. Gu Lingzhi nimbly dodged to the side, but her mouth didn't stop either.

"Outside Linyang City, it was you who climbed the arrow tower and shot an arrow at me, wasn't it?"

Her voice was steady, but her tone carried a questioning quality.

The maid froze for a moment, but quickly recovered and shouted, "Go ask the King of Hell when you're dead!"

Gu Lingzhi didn't need her to give her an answer; asking that question was merely to distract her.

"The fact that your prince was able to climb the arrow tower and even command his subordinates who belonged to the Nanhuai army shows that he had long been colluding with Nanhuai."

Her voice wasn't loud, but every word she uttered during the fight reached the maid's ears.

The maid pretended not to hear, but she was also extremely annoyed by Gu Lingzhi's words.

Her moves became a little chaotic, Gu Lingzhi dodged faster and gradually added counterattacks.

In terms of martial arts, Gu Lingzhi is no match for the blue-clad maid in front of her.

It was obvious that Gu Fuling had kept the maid by her side because she valued her martial arts skills. If she didn't do something now, it would be difficult for her to confront her head-on.

"The Ninth Prince already knows the true identity of your Third Prince's wife. So many soldiers on the border have died because of spies, he will definitely not let your master go!"

The maid was clearly Gu Fuling's confidante, so of course she knew all these things. Her expression changed, and her attack became even more swift in that instant.

Gu Lingzhi stumbled backward, the longsword she had just taken from the fallen guard beside her flying to the ground. The blue-clad maid seemed to have spotted an opening and rushed over anxiously.

Gu Lingzhi stood there motionless.

As if knowing he couldn't escape, he resigned himself to waiting for the longsword to arrive.

The maid's eyes lit up at the sight, but in that instant, Gu Lingzhi spoke up: "I already have evidence that your princess is colluding with Nanhuai!"

The maid in blue froze for a moment.

In that instant, Gu Lingzhi flicked her fingertips, and a silver needle pierced her wrist. The blue-clad maid went limp and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Gu Fuling had no idea what had happened, but when she saw the maid in blue fall down, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Her throat bobbed, and she realized she was scared: "Gu Zhi, this is the Third Prince's residence. You've already committed a capital offense by trespassing. Do you not value your life?"

Gu Lingzhi paused for a moment, but her steps came to a stop.

Gu Fuling thought her threat had worked, so she gently raised her head and showed a noble expression: "If you get out now, I will put in a good word for you in front of the Emperor and leave you a whole corpse."

Gu Lingzhi tilted her head, and just then, Mo Jiuxiao's figure arrived late.

“I did not trespass on the Prince’s mansion, but came here to demolish it on the Prince’s orders.”

Gu Fuling could feel the veins on her forehead throbbing wildly.

She was so angry that her face turned pale. Supported by several maids, she confronted Gu Lingzhi.

Looking around, the courtyard behind Gu Lingzhi was in complete disarray, just as the other party had said.

The other party is here to demolish this place.

Gu Fuling looked at the two people in front of her and said to the maid beside her, "Have you gone to look for someone? Quickly... quickly go to the palace to report to the Emperor, and say... say that Ninth Prince Uncle wants to kill me!"

She lowered her voice, and her trusted maidservant immediately lowered her head and tried to run out, but there was only one gate, which Gu Lingzhi noticed at a glance.

However, she did not stop him as they passed each other.

Since things have already escalated to this point, and Mo Jiuxiao isn't afraid, what is she afraid of?
