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

Chapter 90 I Know Everything

"Mo Ying?"

A clear look of doubt flashed in Mo Liufeng's eyes.

Gu Lingzhi knew she had probably asked in vain, so she changed the subject.

She still thought about that boy. Although the poison in her body had been neutralized, the external wounds would take a long time to heal.

"Since the Fourth Prince doesn't know, then let it go."

She slightly curled the corners of her lips and directly changed the subject.

Mo Liufeng suddenly said, "I do remember that the former King Li had an orphan named Ying!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingzhi suddenly realized that she had guessed Mo Ying's true identity.

When the old emperor ascended the throne, he overcame countless difficulties. At that time, several princes were equally powerful and all could rival his strength.

It was no easy feat for him to stand out from the crowd, and when he ascended the throne, all the princes who had competed with him for the throne died unexpectedly.

Because of too many coincidences, everyone knew who was behind it without even having to guess. So far, the only brother the Emperor left behind is Mo Jiuxiao, who was sent to the border battlefield three years ago after the Empress Dowager passed away.

For the sake of imperial power and the throne, there are countless instances of brothers killing each other, and Mo Ying is likely a victim of this power struggle.

Mo Liufeng's eyes showed a hint of doubt: "I don't know why you are asking about this person. I remember he died in the fire at the Prince's Mansion a few years ago."

Gu Lingzhi withdrew her gaze: "It's nothing, I was just asking casually. I overheard someone mention it by chance. Now, let's not talk about anything else, can we discuss the deal between us?"

Mo Liufeng gently shook his folding fan, his eyes gleaming with the cunning of an old fox.

Compared to Bai Lianchuan's apparent wisdom, Mo Liufeng had his cunning deeply buried in his bones.

"A deal? Did I say I wanted to make a deal with you?"

He suddenly looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late. You can wander around as you like, but I'm heading back!"

Gu Lingzhi, having been tricked, was not about to let him go back: "Mo Liufeng, don't you want to be the emperor?"

Mo Liufeng paused, but turned his head, a carefree smile in his eyes: "I have no interest in the throne."

"Don't you want to seek justice for your mother and redress the injustice caused by your many years of life in the cold palace?"

A look of surprise flashed across Mo Liufeng's handsome face. He finally turned around and glanced at her: "What exactly do you know?"

Gu Lingzhi raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly: "I know everything."

She had a script that recorded the life stories of everyone involved, which gradually became her cheat code.

She knew everything Gu Fuling knew, and she also knew things Gu Fuling didn't know.

With this advantage in mind, Gu Lingzhi didn't think she would lose: "You lived in the Cold Palace for ten years and were only brought back by the Emperor two years ago. Your mother was banished to the Cold Palace for framing the imperial heir. In the eighth year of her stay in the Cold Palace, the late Emperor's accidental visit led to your mother's pregnancy with you."

Eighteen years plus the current two years, Mo Liufeng is exactly twenty years old this year.

He hadn't expected Gu Lingzhi to understand him so well, and he finally began to take it seriously: "Tell me, how exactly do we plan to cooperate?"

Mo Liufeng didn't even offer a single explanation, going straight to the point.

Gu Lingzhi was very satisfied with the other party's quick response.

"It's very simple, all you need to do is..."

She lowered her voice and devised a plan in a way that only the two of them could hear.

Mo Liufeng's eyes widened slightly after hearing this: "You have quite the nerve."

Even so, a glint of approval still flashed in his eyes.

……

Gu Lingzhi lay on the bed, bored, waiting for Mo Jiuxiao.

It was already dark, but Mo Jiuxiao still showed no intention of returning.

No one knows what the Emperor said to Mo Jiuxiao, but the two actually talked for an entire afternoon.

After getting dressed, Gu Lingzhi couldn't sit still any longer and got up to go find him. But before she could even step out the door, the little maid who was guarding the door rushed in in a panic.

"Something terrible has happened! I just overheard someone outside saying that the Prince has angered the Emperor, who then imprisoned him in the Imperial Prison."

Mo Jiuxiao has been imprisoned?

A look of doubt flashed across Gu Lingzhi's eyes. The maid's anxiety was genuine, and after spending a few days with her, she knew the girl's simple nature.

"Slow down. Who told you this? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

The maid shook her head, but disregarded etiquette and grabbed Gu Lingzhi's sleeve: "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I heard it with my own ears. The palace maids and eunuchs who came from the Imperial Study were all talking about this matter."

Gu Lingzhi's pupils contracted slightly, but she stopped in her tracks: "The prince has been captured. I, an ordinary commoner, can't save him even if I rush up. The emperor won't do anything to the prince. We just need to wait here."

"But..." the maid hesitated.

Gu Lingzhi waved her hand, no longer in a hurry: "No matter what people outside say, don't listen to them. Just wait patiently."

After giving this instruction, Gu Lingzhi sent the little maid, who looked at her with disbelief and even felt that Gu Lingzhi was somewhat ungrateful, away. A complex light flashed in her eyes.

Has Mo Jiuxiao really been arrested?

Although the palace was peaceful, it was not as simple as she saw it now.

Although the Empress has passed away, the other concubines in the harem are all restless and unwilling to be alone. There is no need for her to go out at this time and cause trouble for herself.

Having made up her mind, Gu Lingzhi sat quietly on the bed, fully clothed, with her eyes closed to rest.

But less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the maid ran in again.

"Young master, something terrible has happened! I've heard that the Emperor intends to torture the Prince!"

Gu Lingzhi opened her eyes, a cold glint flashing in them: "Is that so? But what can I do? What's the use of you coming to me time and time again?"

The maid was speechless, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Gu Lingzhi stood up, already guessing what the other party was going to do. Those who were secretly plotting had already prepared a trap for her to fall into.

She remained calm and watched to see what other options those people had.

"What the prince does is his own business. You, a mere maid, should just stay here obediently. If I hear you barging in and disturbing my rest for no reason, get out immediately!"

The little maid lowered her head, her face full of grievance.

He walked out of the room hesitantly, leaving Gu Lingzhi sitting there calmly.

It was completely dark outside, and all was quiet. Gu Lingzhi lay on the bed, but felt a chill in the wind, and a dark shadow drifted past the window.

Mo Jiuxiao has not returned yet.

Although she had some doubts about whether what the maid said was true, once Gu Lingzhi made up her mind, she would almost never change it.

She acted as if she didn't see it, letting the dark figure stand outside.

Time passed second by second, and although Gu Lingzhi had her eyes closed, she was not fast asleep.

Her lips were pursed, one hand gripping the dagger beside the bed, the other holding several small bottles.

Sure enough, a slightly sweet smell wafted from the crack in the door.

Gu Lingzhi made a quick decision, opening the small bottle cap and gently sniffing it.

That dazed feeling vanished instantly, and with a creak, the door was opened.

Gu Lingzhi tensed up. She tiptoed to the bedside, and a dark figure pressed down on her in an instant. Gu Lingzhi suddenly rolled over, and the dagger in her hand landed directly on the man's neck.

"do not move!"

With a sharp shout, Gu Lingzhi pressed her weapon firmly against the man's neck, her eyes gleaming with a cold, eerie light in the darkness.

How dare they ambush her? They must be tired of living.

Her physical condition has improved considerably, and coupled with the vigilance she developed in her previous life, most people are no match for Gu Lingzhi.

The man in black was stiff. Moonlight shone through the window, and although the room was dark, Gu Lingzhi could still make out the outline of the man in front of her.

She looked up, wanting to remove the black cloth covering the man's face.

But in that instant, the man suddenly attacked Gu Lingzhi's face. She blocked with her hand, and the man in black jumped out nimbly, crashing through the window and into the courtyard.

Gu Lingzhi stepped out of the door and chased after him. The man in black was not far in front of her. After thinking for a moment, she followed him.

The men in black deliberately took some deserted paths, winding their way into another palace. Gu Lingzhi stood at the entrance of this palace, looking at the high walls, and stopped.

"Who dares to trespass into the Treasure Pavilion in the middle of the night?"

Several armored guards rushed out from the side and surrounded Gu Lingzhi, who was dressed in simple clothes.

Knowing perfectly well that she had fallen into someone's trap, Gu Lingzhi turned around unhurriedly.

Before she could speak, she heard someone behind her say, "I invited some guests for a walk at night. Am I disturbing you?"

All the guards turned around and their eyes fell on the Imperial Preceptor who was slowly walking towards them from not far away.

Although Yue Shuyi's complexion was a bit pale, he looked quite well today. The moonlight shone on his profile, making it appear as if it were coated with a layer of light.

Gu Lingzhi was startled, never expecting that Yue Shuyi would help her escape at this time.

"The Imperial Advisor is walking too slowly!"

Gu Lingzhi replied with a smile, and the two of them had already decided on the reason for going out at night in a question-and-answer session.

The head palace guard looked rather grim: "Quickly go and check if anything is missing from the Treasure Pavilion!"

Gu Lingzhi snapped to attention, knowing that the important part was about to begin.

At this moment, Yue Shuyi stepped to Gu Lingzhi's side and said, "If anything is really lost in the Treasure Pavilion, it is because you failed to guard it properly. We were just passing by."

It's amazing that Yue Shuyi could come up with such an excuse to go out for a stroll in the middle of the night. But as the Imperial Advisor said, it was indeed extraordinary. Even if it was fake, people would take it as real.
