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

Chapter 96 He's Truly My Good Son

His words sounded as if he were completely on Mo Jinghan's side.

However, upon learning the truth, Gu Fuling and Mo Jinghan both looked at Mo Liufeng at that moment.

The fourth prince, who had always been silent and had little presence in the palace, actually made a move today.

Upon hearing Mo Liufeng's words, the Emperor raised his head and said to the Imperial Guards outside, "Search immediately."

Upon receiving the order, those people quickly retreated, and a silence fell over the Xuanwu Hall. Mo Jinghan knelt on the ground without making a sound. The only sounds in the hall were the rustling of clothes and breathing.

Not long after, a guard came in to announce the news.

Everyone looked nervously at the person who walked into the main hall, with Gu Fuling and Mo Jinghan being especially tense to the core.

Her fingers trembled slightly, her eyes fixed on the messenger.

No, don't...

"Your Majesty, this is what we found in the inn."

When Gu Fuling saw that thing, her face turned dark.

She felt lightheaded, and a look of despair flashed across her eyes.

"Father, these people are slandering you. The Third Prince has always respected you and has never harbored any disloyal intentions towards you!"

Gu Fuling knelt on the ground, her eyes filled with deep fear.

This scene felt like a return to a past life.

The third prince was framed and imprisoned, and eventually died there. Her tragic end was all because of these things.

But the Crown Prince is clearly dead, and even Gu Lingzhi is dead, so why has things developed to this point?

"Evil son..."

When the old emperor saw those things, his eyes instantly turned cold. He clutched his chest and coughed violently, a deep anger flashing in his eyes.

"Poison, cicada... Mo Jinghan, you are truly my good son."

Mo Jinghan lowered his head: "Your Majesty is wise. It is obvious that someone deliberately framed me."

You can't admit it no matter what you say.

This was the only understanding that Mo Jinghan and Gu Fuling had.

Gu Lingzhi watched all of this from the sidelines, slightly surprised.

She turned her head and looked at Mo Jiuxiao. The man's expression remained indifferent, without even a ripple.

When exactly did he set up this trap?

"A setup? Who could possibly put these things in your heavily guarded inn? And what is your purpose in deploying so many imperial guards?"

The emperor's aggressive words left Mo Jinghan speechless for a moment.

Everything else can be explained, but the unauthorized deployment of the emperor's imperial guards is something that doesn't make sense.

Mo Jinghan was also obsessed for a time, thinking that the throne was within reach. But who knew that what was about to be obtained would be lost in the blink of an eye.

But the ending that awaits him is unlikely to be so pleasant.

Mo Jiuxiao and Gu Lingzhi were like supporting characters, but in this play, they held all the initiative.

Gu Fuling cried out hoarsely, "Your Majesty, think about it. There is no prince in the capital who can rival His Highness. He is your favorite, and the throne will definitely be passed to him in the future. He has no reason to do such a thing."

Gu Lingzhi couldn't help but laugh when she heard these words. Gu Fuling was really foolish. No wonder she ended up like that in her previous life.

She thought she was difficult to deal with and very smart, but she never expected things to turn out this way.

Saying something like that at this time would be the worst possible choice.

She remained silent, quietly awaiting the fate of these two people.

Ambition and greed always come at a price.

The old emperor chuckled and said, "This throne will surely be his in the future?"

Mo Jinghan's heart skipped a beat.

Gu Fuling vaguely realized that she had said something wrong, and in a panic, she crawled two steps on her knees.

All of this happened very suddenly today. Gu Fuling, who usually seems very composed, has not seen many big events.

Even though she had a lifetime of advantages and made a name for herself in the past few years, in reality, even if she were reborn, she would still be the same Gu Fuling.

Timid and cowardly, secretly resenting everything, narrow-minded.

These things are part of human nature, and as long as the past is not forgotten, they will never be eliminated in this lifetime.

“Father, Fuling is wrong. You may hit me, but what Fuling said has nothing to do with the Third Prince. Jinghan has never thought that way.”

The old emperor was absolutely furious at Gu Fuling's words.

He stared fiercely at Gu Fuling, his eyes blazing with intense anger, and even Mo Jinghan's gaze held a hint of rage.

This is what you call a terrible teammate.

With just one sentence, Gu Fuling almost confirmed Mo Jinghan's ambition.

The old emperor raised his head and shouted loudly to the outside, "Guards, lock Mo Jinghan in the imperial prison and await further orders."

Gu Fuling collapsed to the ground.

She was, after all, a woman, and the Emperor did not make things difficult for her until the Third Prince was convicted.

However, once the Third Prince's residence falls, her fate will definitely not be good.

Having known Gu Fuling's past life, Gu Lingzhi narrowed her eyes, feeling quite at ease.

However, Gu Lingzhi felt somewhat disheartened that she hadn't been involved in this matter at all.

Some grudges are only truly satisfying when you take revenge yourself.

Mo Jiuxiao lowered his eyes and said to the Emperor, "In that case, Your Majesty, please rest well. I will take my leave."

"stop!"

The emperor suddenly spoke. Although his face was pale, it was clear that the poison had been neutralized.

Mo Jiuxiao stopped and slowly turned around. His eyes were devoid of joy or sorrow, revealing no emotion whatsoever. "Don't tell me you have nothing to do with this. Mo Jiuxiao, you can't muddy the waters of this imperial city."

Gu Lingzhi lowered her head, looking at the old emperor with new respect.

This person is not foolish; he can see through the mystery at a glance.

But the next moment, his gaze fell on Gu Lingzhi.

"However, no matter what you say, I will not allow you to marry a man. Immediately banish him from the palace and arrange for him to marry Miss Sun on a chosen date. Otherwise, I will make this happen even if I have you tied up."

Upon hearing this, a profound meaning flashed in Gu Lingzhi's eyes: "May I ask Your Majesty, why do you insist on having the Ninth Prince marry Miss Sun?"

"Shut up."

The emperor coughed softly, his anger deepening.

As if in disbelief, the old emperor looked as if he had aged ten years, realizing that the prince he trusted most would betray him at such a time.

Gu Lingzhi chuckled softly: "I personally saved Your Majesty's life. Is this how Your Majesty treats your savior?"

The old emperor's eyes immediately turned cold: "When did you ever save my life?"

Gu Lingzhi couldn't help but turn her head to glance at Mo Jiuxiao.

"Otherwise, why would you wake up so early?"

The Northern Emperor's face was extremely grim. He waved his hand, signaling the guards surrounding him to leave.

"What Mo Jinghan said is true. It's not impossible for you to stay in the capital, but I need to know your identity."

Gu Lingzhi raised her eyebrows: "A nobody, not worth mentioning. As long as the Emperor agrees to my marriage with the Prince, that's fine."

The emperor frowned and snorted coldly: "Could it be that you want Mo Jiuxiao to be childless?"

That's quite a serious statement.

A faint light flashed in Gu Lingzhi's eyes, and she pursed her lips slightly.

The old emperor thought she was hesitating: "I advise you to back down when faced with difficulties."

Gu Lingzhi shook her head: "I will not back down. If Your Majesty has time, you should take better care of your own son and not meddle in the affairs of the Ninth Prince."

Gu Lingzhi felt like she was about to fly to the sky.

Having spent so much time by Mo Jiuxiao's side, she seemed to have unknowingly picked up several of his bad habits.

She couldn't help but rub her forehead. Seeing the Emperor's furious face, Gu Lingzhi still managed to suppress the slight trembling of her shoulders.

Mo Jiuxiao gently took her hand: "Let's go!"

Those two simple words stirred something within Gu Lingzhi, and a strange sense of security spread through her heart.

As they spent more and more time together, Gu Lingzhi realized that this man seemed to be holding a heavier place in her heart.

Concealing the emotions that were about to be revealed in her eyes, Gu Lingzhi pretended to be indifferent and said, "This time, Your Highness has won a great victory."

Mo Jiuxiao curled the corners of his lips, his thin lips slightly pursed, exuding a cool and aloof aura.

Gu Lingzhi's mind stirred slightly, and a complex feeling began to spread.

She still had doubts about whether Mo Jiuxiao truly liked her.

After all, this was the first time in her life that she had the illusion of being deeply connected with someone.

Neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere was very calm.

Gu Lingzhi suddenly spoke up: "Why does Your Highness want to deal with the Third Prince? Although the Emperor has imprisoned the Third Prince, the civil and military officials will surely do everything they can to obstruct him, and it may ultimately have no effect on him."

Her voice was very low, and there was a hint of doubt in it.

Mo Jiuxiao suddenly ruffled her hair: "Do you really intend to marry me with this identity?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingzhi's cheeks flushed slightly.

Perhaps, when Gu Lingzhi heard these words, her heart was not as calm as it appeared on the outside.

She lowered her head slightly, a faint glimmer of light hidden in her eyes, her dark eyes seeming to hold the bright moonlight.

Immediately, she couldn't help but chuckle softly: "Does Your Highness really intend to marry me?"

Looking into those exceptionally beautiful eyes, Mo Jiuxiao gently pulled her wrist: "My word is law."

This sounds no different from anything else.

But it was obvious that Gu Lingzhi's mood improved the moment she got the answer.

"May I ask, Your Highness, why do you want to marry me?"

Gu Lingzhi's gaze was serious, but she felt a little nervous.

She didn't know why she asked that question, but seeing Mo Jiuxiao's silent expression, she felt slightly disappointed.

Is it manipulation or genuine affection?

This is the truth she most wants to know.

She wasn't the type of woman who would wallow in self-pity after being rejected; she simply wanted to hear the truth from this man.
