Chapter 88 Marrying this King Openly and Righteously

"Ninth Prince, I wonder what exactly is wrong with the preparation of Fuling?"

Mo Jiuxiao frowned slightly.

A cold glint flashed between her delicate features, chilling one to the bone: "This is, after all, the Prince's residence. If Ninth Uncle continues to cause trouble, not only will it be embarrassing for you and me, but even the Emperor will lose face."

She used very tactful language; even at this point, she managed to suppress the flames that were about to burst forth.

Her hands, hanging at her sides, slowly tightened, and an intense hatred flashed in Gu Fuling's eyes.

She will absolutely not let Mo Jiuxiao and Gu Zhi get away with this.

"I have said that if your apology does not satisfy her, I will demolish your princely residence."

That chilling voice pierced Gu Fuling's mind, making her face flush red with anger, and her whole body trembled slightly.

"Ninth Prince, you're going too far!"

Mo Jiuxiao's eyes were filled with deep mockery, "So what if I bully you?"

Gu Lingzhi glanced sideways at Mo Jiuxiao's face.

His face was truly stunning; the sunlight focused on his fair profile, outlining his striking features.

So what if I bully you?

Gu Lingzhi pondered the words carefully and couldn't help but chuckle. Looking at Gu Fuling's multicolored face, she found it inexplicably hilarious.

Even she was helpless against Mo Jiuxiao's shameless behavior, let alone using it against Gu Fuling.

Gu Fuling's eyes flickered as she looked around and saw footsteps coming from the courtyard behind her. A look of relief appeared on her face, and she quickly called to the maid beside her to take her out.

"It's His Highness the Third Prince!"

Gu Fuling was overjoyed and walked towards the door, while Mo Jinghan and the others quickly arrived behind Mo Jiuxiao and Gu Lingzhi.

Gu Lingzhi felt guilty for causing such a commotion out of nowhere.

However, seeing Mo Jiuxiao's calm and unwavering eyes calmed me down a little.

The Imperial Guards behind Mo Jinghan rushed forward with weapons, instantly surrounding the two of them.

Mo Jiuxiao stood motionless, the blinding light casting a long shadow on the ground.

"Ninth Prince, what exactly happened?"

Mo Jinghan's eyes were full of surprise, as if he didn't understand at all what had gotten into Mo Jiuxiao this time.

After all, even the Emperor now gives Mo Jiuxiao some face, so as a junior, he shouldn't be too presumptuous in front of Mo Jiuxiao.

Mo Jiuxiao slowly raised his head, his eyes brimming with an unfathomable emotion: "Have you given me an explanation for the frame-up?"

Mo Jinghan subconsciously looked at Gu Fuling.

The two had originally planned to rest and avoid trouble during this sensitive time, but Mo Jiuxiao was still relentless: "Fuling has already apologized to Ninth Prince in person. Did she do anything wrong?"

"An apology? I only see a demonstration!"

"I……"

Gu Fuling almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Her hands were still red and swollen, and her knees were still sore. All she got in return for all that pain was a defiant remark from the other party.

"Ninth Prince, I didn't! I've already knelt down, isn't that enough?"

Gu Fuling's chest heaved violently with anger, tears welling in her eyes, and an aura of grievance quickly spread across her face.

Mo Jinghan frowned, cupped his hands in a fist salute to Mo Jiuxiao, and said, "Ninth Prince, I can forgive you for injuring my servants before, but if you continue to act so unreasonably, don't blame me for being merciless."

The wounded outside had all been taken down, but the messy courtyard still bore witness to everything that had just happened.

Mo Jiuxiao seemed not to hear Mo Jinghan's words and pulled Gu Lingzhi out from behind him.

"I don't need your apologies. The one you should apologize to is her!"

Gu Lingzhi suddenly became the target of everyone's criticism.

Gu Fuling trembled all over and couldn't catch her breath for a long time.

She had endured a lifetime of hardship, and this life had been smooth sailing for her, but she never expected that she would suffer a loss in front of Mo Jiuxiao and an ordinary servant.

"Your Highness, I..."

Mo Jinghan looked into Mo Jiuxiao's eyes, his own eyes flashing with anger. "Guards, seize the person who trespassed on the property!"

Regardless of what we say, we should take these two under control first.

Mo Jiuxiao glanced at the people rushing towards him, then stepped on the ground, causing a long sword to spring up and land directly in his hand.

Leaving Gu Lingzhi in the corner by the door, Mo Jiuxiao said in a deep voice, "Wait here and don't cause any trouble!"

Gu Lingzhi nodded; she was tired after fighting for so long.

His gaze was fixed on Mo Jiuxiao's back. He watched as the Imperial Guards quickly surrounded him, and before they could even touch Mo Jiuxiao's clothes, they flew away.

Mo Jiuxiao was already capable of taking on ten men at once on the battlefield, and in front of these pampered Imperial Guards, he was like a demon.

Those dozens of imperial guards were no match for Mo Jiuxiao at all; they all collapsed in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Mo Jinghan was stunned for a moment, and his expression was not very good. He waved his hand, and countless archers instantly appeared on the surrounding walls.

If you count them carefully, there are probably over a hundred.

Gu Lingzhi became serious. She still vividly remembered the scene where Mo Jinghan was shot by an arrow and barely survived the last time in the midst of a large army.

Walking up behind Mo Jiuxiao, Gu Lingzhi gently tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "How about we come another day?"

Mo Jiuxiao glanced at her sideways: "What, scared?"

Gu Lingzhi shook her head: "No, it's just that it's not worth it if there's any damage."

Mo Jiuxiao strode towards Mo Jinghan, who held his long sword horizontally and watched Mo Jiuxiao warily.

"Ninth Prince, don't force me."

Mo Jiuxiao snorted coldly: "You intend to kill me?"

Mo Jinghan's eyes flickered. Even if Mo Jiuxiao was in the wrong this time, he hadn't killed a single person from beginning to end. It seemed that his subordinates were in a terrible state, but they were all just unskilled.

If he really hurts or kills someone like that, he will eventually go from being polite to being unreasonable.

Facing Mo Jiuxiao, Mo Jinghan felt troubled again. At this moment, Gu Fuling, accompanied by her maid, bypassed the two and stood directly beside Mo Jinghan: "Your Highness, quickly release the arrows, otherwise, this mansion will really be torn down by these two."

A hint of hesitation flashed across Mo Jinghan's eyes.

Gu Fuling tightened her grip on Mo Jinghan's fingers, saying, "The Ninth Prince has already gone to such lengths. If we hurt him to protect ourselves, Father will never blame us!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Jinghan finally made up his mind. He gently raised the sword in his hand and then brought it down sharply: "Release it."

In an instant, dozens of powerful arrows flew from all directions.

Gu Lingzhi's expression changed slightly, and she quickly found a place to hide.

Silver light danced in Mo Jiuxiao's hands, and the arrows couldn't get close to him at all. He just stood there, looking completely at ease.

"what!"

Screams came from all directions, and the archers who were firing arrows stopped instantly.

This bizarre scene made Mo Jinghan look up at his men, only to discover that the archers had vanished without his orders.

"What about people?"

Gu Fuling looked bewildered, the coldness in her eyes still lingering.

Just as she was looking around, she saw several people dressed in black night clothes appear on the walls on all four sides.

The opposing team has only three members.

These three people, however, exerted an indescribable pressure on everyone below.

Gu Fuling's lips were dry. The thought that over a hundred people had been dealt with by these three people in such a short time made her heart tremble violently.

Just how much strength is Mo Jiuxiao hiding?

If those people come to kill us, even if we temporarily dispatch troops, we probably won't be able to catch up. By then, she'll be dead. What's the point of thinking about revenge?

No, Mo Jiuxiao absolutely cannot stay in the capital.

The thought that the person in front of her was her greatest obstacle in the future made Gu Fuling's eyes begin to blaze with murderous intent. She raised her head and said, "Uncle Ninth Prince has secretly recruited so many experts. Could it be that he has rebellious intentions?"

Mo Jiuxiao had already seen through Gu Fuling back in Linyang City, and he knew perfectly well the hidden meaning in her words.

He gave a cold, indifferent sneer: "If I were to rebel, do you think you'd still be alive and speaking to me right now?"

Gu Fuling felt a chill run down her spine and broke out in a cold sweat.

But she still mustered up her courage and said, "Does Ninth Prince admit it? Could it be that you were also involved in the rebellion in Linyang City?"

Gu Lingzhi was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Unexpectedly, Gu Fuling is really clever; she quickly figured out how to shift the blame onto Mo Jiuxiao.

Although she had long known that this scene would unfold, and that Gu Fuling would eventually frame Mo Jiuxiao for rebellion, she did not expect that the other side would already be unable to stand firm after only a few days of their return.

However, she was clearly too hasty in this matter. After all, the Tiger Tally, which could mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, was still in Mo Jiuxiao's hands.

Mo Jiuxiao nodded slightly: "Are you finished?"

The three men in black suddenly flew off the wall and landed beside Mo Jiuxiao.

Gu Fuling gritted her teeth and said angrily, "If the Emperor finds out about this, even Ninth Prince Uncle will not have an easy time."

Mo Jiuxiao was too lazy to listen to Gu Fuling's nonsense. After glancing around, he uttered a single word: "Demolish!"

The three men in black bowed to Mo Jiuxiao and his group.

In the blink of an eye, he used his lightness skill to disappear, and just then, an explosion came from the direction of the master bedroom.

The servants who were originally inside the house had been knocked unconscious and thrown outside at some point, and the once peaceful room was now covered in dust and reduced to ruins.

Gu Fuling stared wide-eyed at the sight of her mansion, where she had lived for so many years, now reduced to such a wretched state, and a feeling of shame burned in her heart.
