Chapter 92 A Gentleman's Friendship

Gu Lingzhi remained silent for a long time.

She rubbed the patterns on the gold token with her fingers, a slight blush creeping onto her cheeks: "The prince never mentioned it before, how would I know what this gold token is for?"

Mo Jiuxiao raised his head and patted her head: "Then remember this from now on, don't cause me any trouble, understand?"

His expression was cold and aloof, with a hint of warning in his eyes. Although his tone was concerned, his words could easily infuriate someone.

Gu Lingzhi carefully put away the gold token, then turned around: "Last night someone came to my room and put sleeping potion in my room, and tried to frame me for stealing. Does Your Highness have any ideas on this matter?"

Mo Jiuxiao narrowed his eyes: "Use their own methods against them."

Gu Lingzhi's heart skipped a beat. She turned her head and stared into Mo Jiuxiao's eyes. She had always known that Mo Jiuxiao was not someone who would like to suffer a loss. Seeing the darkness in his eyes now, she felt a little relieved.

"What the prince means is..."

She slightly parted her lips, her eyebrows and eyes lifting, and she vaguely guessed what Mo Jiuxiao wanted to do.

Mo Jiuxiao grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.

"If you want revenge, you'd better cling to my coattails, understand?"

His voice was cold and clear, yet it exuded a strong sense of confidence. Gu Lingzhi had never seen such a narcissistic person before, and the goodwill she had initially felt was instantly wiped out.

Pushing the shameless man away, Gu Lingzhi touched her forehead and saw an embarrassed man standing not far ahead.

Gu Lingzhi then realized that she was still dressed as a man.

Yue Shuyi arrived at some unknown time, and it was unclear how much he had seen or heard. Gu Lingzhi strode up to him and gently curved her lips into a smile: "In any case, thank you, Imperial Advisor, for last night."

Mo Jiuxiao's voice naturally interrupted: "Were you with him last night?"

Yue Shuyi sensed the deep displeasure in Mo Jiuxiao's tone, and said in a calm voice, "We only met once by chance."

The sharpness in Mo Jiuxiao's eyes subsided, and he slightly opened his eyes: "From now on, if I'm not here at night, don't go out casually!"

Gu Lingzhi lowered her voice and said, "A gentleman's friendship is as light as water, and not everyone has the same hobby as Your Highness!"

Mo Jiuxiao frowned: "What hobbies?"

Sensing the deliberate teasing in his words, Gu Lingzhi immediately ended the conversation and turned her gaze to Yue Shuyi: "It's no coincidence that the Imperial Preceptor is here. May I ask if there's anything important on your mind?"

Yue Shuyi nodded slowly: "You said you could cure my illness, so I choose to believe you this once."

Gu Lingzhi looked at him with a half-smile: "Gu Fuling said I was just lying, aren't you afraid I'll just kill you?"

Yue Shuyi said calmly, "With your ability to poison, killing me wouldn't be difficult. I'm taking a gamble."

Gu Lingzhi stared at Yue Shuyi for a long time before turning her gaze away: "When are you ready? Give me a message, Grand Preceptor. I have something to say in advance. This surgery is not 100% safe, so there is a risk to life."

She had originally intended to scare Yue Shuyi and test his thoughts, but he didn't hesitate at all: "Tonight."

Gu Lingzhi hesitated for a moment, and was about to nod when Mo Jiuxiao stopped her: "Not tonight."

Yue Shuyi was taken aback: "Okay, then you can come find me when you have time."

The other person turned and left, their figure disappearing at the end of the path like a gentle breeze.

Gu Lingzhi sighed, staring at Mo Jiuxiao with a suspicious look: "So what are you going to do tonight?"

The Imperial Garden was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the midday sun was scorching. Mo Jiuxiao walked in one direction with his hands behind his back and said, "Follow me."

Without saying a word, Gu Lingzhi followed.

The two walked through the Imperial Garden and arrived at the Treasure Pavilion. Gu Lingzhi hadn't had a good look at the scenery here yet. She was surprised to see how magnificent the Treasure Pavilion was under the blue sky and white clouds.

This was a very important place in the imperial palace, and people had noticed the two long ago. However, seeing that the person in the lead was Mo Jiuxiao, they only dared to watch from afar.

Gu Lingzhi, who had visited the place last night, was somewhat confused about Mo Jiuxiao's intentions.

Mo Jiuxiao strode to the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion, where the guards immediately stepped forward to stop him: "Your Highness, this is a restricted area of ​​the palace, and outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave at will."

Mo Jiuxiao took out a token carved with dragon patterns from his bosom.

The moment they saw the token, the guards on both sides immediately knelt on the ground.

Mo Jiuxiao didn't say a word, put away the golden token, and then reached out and pushed the door open.

Gu Lingzhi was somewhat surprised to see Mo Jiuxiao moving about as if he were in an empty place. She didn't back down and followed him inside.

The guards all looked on with suspicion and uncertainty, but none of them dared to stop them. Although Gu Lingzhi didn't know what method Mo Jiuxiao had used, she was certain that it was related to the golden token.

His gold token was different from the one in his hand; it must be the emperor's token.

"Ninth Prince, what are you doing here? And what about that token from earlier?"

Mo Jiuxiao looked up and touched the cabinet in the Treasure Pavilion with one hand.

He glanced at the priceless calligraphy, paintings, and gems, then withdrew his hand with slight disdain: "I took them on the spur of the moment when I left the Imperial Study."

Gu Lingzhi was completely stunned.

She rubbed her forehead: "Stealing is stealing, why say it was just a convenient thing? Doesn't Your Highness know that the Emperor will be very angry if you do this?"

Mo Jiuxiao glanced at the antique vase placed not far away: "So what if I'm angry?"

Gu Lingzhi stood motionless.

She looked at Mo Jiuxiao's figure with some surprise, but inexplicably understood Mo Jiuxiao's feelings.

He had worked hard for three years to guard the country on the border, suffering countless injuries and shedding countless blood, but there were people in the capital who were secretly sabotaging him.

If it were her, she would also be very angry.

The burning of the grain supplies last time, coupled with Gu Fuling's collusion with Nanhua, was enough to enrage Mo Jiuxiao.

Mo Jiuxiao tilted his head slightly, a dark light flashing in his eyes. He suddenly took out a bracelet from the innermost box.

"Take it!"

The bracelet was fiery red all over and still felt warm to the touch. When Gu Lingzhi saw him taking the Emperor's things as if he were visiting his own home, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily: "Your Highness, it's still early. Let's go before those people outside notice us."

Mo Jiuxiao suddenly focused his gaze: "With me here, what are you worried about?"

Gu Lingzhi wanted to retort, but if they weren't now bound together by a blood tie, she wouldn't care how he courted death.

Just as she was about to speak, the door to the Treasure Pavilion was pushed open, and the Emperor surprisingly strode in.

Gu Lingzhi immediately became alert and subconsciously looked at Mo Jiuxiao, only to see that Mo Jiuxiao's expression remained completely unmoved.

"Mo Jiuxiao!"

A furious shout came from outside the door. Mo Jiuxiao stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm.

"What business does Your Majesty have with me?"

Seeing Mo Jiuxiao so calm, the Emperor, who had been prepared to vent his anger, suddenly didn't know how to do it.

"What exactly were your intentions in stealing the gold medal and breaking into the Treasure Pavilion?"

Mo Jiuxiao glanced around, a deep gloom hidden in his eyes: "But is it inappropriate for Your Majesty to just take a casual stroll?"

Let's go browsing...

These two words almost made the emperor explode with anger. His chest heaved violently, and he pointed at Mo Jiuxiao for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence.

Gu Lingzhi felt inexplicably sorry for the old emperor.

"Guards, throw Mo Jiuxiao into the Heavenly Prison."

Suddenly, the old emperor shouted and uttered these words.

Gu Fuling's heart sank, but she saw that Mo Jiuxiao's expression was actually very calm, and there was even a hint of a smile hidden in his eyes.

What exactly is he going to do?

Mo Jiuxiao grasped her hand in return, and seeing some guards rushing in from outside, he strode forward to greet them.

"No need to trouble Your Majesty, I know the location of the Heavenly Prison, I will go there myself."

This sudden change caught Gu Lingzhi off guard. Before she could even ask any questions, she was already following behind Mo Jiuxiao.

The prison in Beiyi was gloomy and eerie; a chill hit you as soon as you entered.

Gu Lingzhi gathered her sleeves and carefully grasped Mo Jiuxiao's robe.

A jailer walked to the door of a very clean cell, unlocked the chains, and bowed and scraped to Mo Jiuxiao, saying, "Your Highness, please tell me your orders, and I will do my best to fulfill them."

Gu Lingzhi was initially a little nervous, but seeing the jailer's expression, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The jailer wasn't angry. He smiled at Gu Lingzhi, then turned and left, even instructing his men to pour tea for Mo Jiuxiao.

This isn't like being in jail; it's like being treated like royalty.

However, the cell door was locked, making it unlikely that they could get out.

Gu Lingzhi thought it over and over again, and after seeing that the jailer had already walked away, she lowered her voice and asked, "Mo Jiuxiao, is this why you said you couldn't treat Yue Shuyi tonight?"

Mo Jiuxiao curled the corners of his lips and nodded slightly.

Gu Lingzhi looked at that face, as if she could see the other person saying to her, "Are you surprised or delighted? Are you not surprised or not?"

She glanced across the fence, turned around, and placed her hands on the table in front of him: "Mo Jiuxiao, what exactly are you up to? Can't you tell me something?"

Mo Jiuxiao raised his head: "Did you tell me in advance what you were planning to do?"

"you……"

Faced with this question, Gu Lingzhi was speechless.

Was she being retaliated against?

The more the other party kept her in suspense, the more Gu Lingzhi wanted to know, her heart itching with desire.

Mo Jiuxiao seemed to be digging a huge pit for someone, and then just waiting for them to jump in.

This feeling inexplicably made her look forward to it.

A guard from one of the prison cells sneaked up to the front of the prison and placed a note in a corner.

Gu Lingzhi picked it up out of curiosity and glanced at the guard's back.

Holding the item in her hand, Gu Lingzhi turned around and glanced at Mo Jiuxiao's expression before slowly opening the note.

There were only two words on it: "Approved".

Gu Lingzhi felt uneasy, sensing that Mo Jiuxiao was up to something shady.
