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

Chapter 98 You want to leave me?

He misunderstood and still thought that Gu Fuling cared about him.

Although he was involved in this matter, Mo Liufeng wanted to really test Gu Fuling's feelings for him last night.

However, nothing can withstand the test of time.

He could hardly imagine how shocked he was when Gu Fuling said those words.

Just a few days ago, he risked offending Mo Jiuxiao to support Gu Fuling, but in the blink of an eye, Gu Fuling treated him as a pawn.

Gu Lingzhi grabbed a chair and sat opposite Mo Liufeng. She rested her chin on her hand and smiled at him, "Why does the Fourth Prince have such an expression?"

Mo Liufeng shook his head helplessly: "You're asking a question you already know the answer to."

Given that Mo Liufeng had been thoroughly tricked by Gu Fuling, Gu Lingzhi decided not to poke at Mo Liufeng's sore spot. She chuckled and said, "Does this mean the Fourth Prince has agreed to cooperate with me and the Prince?"

Mo Liufeng slightly curved the corners of his lips, but slowly nodded.

But his eyes kept glancing at her face out of the corner of his eye.

However, due to Mo Jiuxiao's icy gaze, which felt like a knife cutting through him, he dared not look for too long and covered his face with his fan: "Now that I have offended my third brother, is there any other way out if I don't cooperate?"

While others might not understand the deeper meaning in his words, Mo Jinghan could.

Gu Fuling probably hates him now. If he were to appear in front of those two people again, he would surely be regarded as an enemy.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Mo Liufeng did not regret his decision.

Mo Jiuxiao turned his gaze to Gu Lingzhi: "What do you think?"

This seemingly casual question caused Mo Liufeng's gaze to deepen.

He originally thought that Gu Lingzhi's offer to cooperate with him was just a self-important joke, but he never expected that the dignified Ninth Prince would actually ask for her opinion.

Gu Lingzhi, however, was used to this kind of thing: "Alright, considering how pitiful the Fourth Prince is, I've decided to lend you a hand."

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile curved her lips.

Mo Liufeng put down his fan, his eyes fixed on his fingers: "Miss Gu, could it be that you wish to avenge the Gu family?"

Gu Lingzhi's smile vanished, her eyes sharpening: "Since the Fourth Prince knows, it means we only have one enemy!"

She tapped the table lightly, a cold glint in her eyes: "Now that Gu Fuling is desperate, she will inevitably bring out all her connections. The first person she will beg will definitely be Yue Shuyi."

Mo Liufeng's pupils contracted slightly: "Although the Imperial Advisor rarely appears, he has saved the Emperor's life, and the Emperor will listen to him to some extent."

Gu Lingzhi gave a soft, cold laugh: "What if Yue Shuyi doesn't help?"

Mo Liufeng stiffened: "Then she will definitely come to beg me, the prince."

Although Gu Fuling had many connections, only the two of them truly had influence with the Emperor.

The ministers in the court are all here to see the emperor, hoping he will see through the situation and release the third prince. If he manages to turn the tables this time, it will be difficult to deal with him again once he is prepared.

Gu Fuling said something very true.

If Mo Jinghan hadn't made any mistakes and had simply waited patiently for the Emperor's death, he would definitely have been the next heir to the throne.

But the current emperor is still vigorous in his old age, and if he really wants to pass away, it will be at least several decades before he does.

He couldn't wait any longer...

"If Gu Fuling were to ask the Fourth Prince for help, would he help her?"

Mo Liufeng paused, as if hesitating about something.

He thought about it carefully from beginning to end, then laughed and said, "Of course I'll help."

Gu Lingzhi saw through his thoughts hidden in his smile at a glance, and couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile: "Since the Fourth Prince has already thought it through, please feel free to ask if there is anything you need help with."

She had barely finished speaking when she heard a knock on the door of the private room.

"Your Highness, the Third Prince's Consort has come to see you with her entourage."

Mo Liufeng hadn't expected this: "So fast?"

Gu Lingzhi winked at Mo Jiuxiao, then stood up and said, "Your Highness, let's go next door first."

Mo Liufeng shook his head: "No need, there's a hidden compartment here, you can wait here first!"

Gu Lingzhi and Mo Jiuxiao slipped into the hidden compartment next to the private room. The compartment was spacious enough, and even had two slits on top for observation.

There are chairs inside, so you can rest there, but from the outside, it just looks like an ordinary wall.

She and Mo Jiuxiao had just sat down when they saw the door to the private room in front of them being pushed open, and a familiar figure walked in.

Gu Fuling's face was pale, and her expression was pitiful. "Mo Liufeng, I beg you, please help your brother."

Mo Liufeng stepped back, dodging her touch. The obvious action made Gu Fuling's eyes show a hint of embarrassment.

Having come with a heavy heart, Gu Fuling was now met with a setback right at the first meeting, and her shoulders were trembling slightly.

Mo Liufeng shook his fan and looked at Gu Fuling with a light laugh, "It's a done deal that Third Brother poisoned Father. What can I do about it?"

Gu Fuling looked up in disbelief: "Liufeng, your brother absolutely did not do this. You should believe him."

Mo Liufeng hesitated for a moment, a troubled look on his face, but he was also clearly wavering.

"I trust my brother, so I will help him with this. But what do you want me to do?"

Mo Liufeng stared into Gu Fuling's eyes, waiting for her to speak.

Gu Fuling's mind raced, and she breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's very simple. Just tell Father that someone framed your brother, and then find another convincing scapegoat. That way, your brother will be fine."

Mo Liufeng blinked: "Father Emperor would never believe that Ninth Imperial Uncle would do such a thing. Who should we find as a scapegoat?"

Gu Fuling's eyes flickered, and her tone was somewhat weak: "I don't know, Liufeng. Maybe you know that I was so good to you back then. Now that your brother has encountered such a great calamity, please help him this once, just once."

Just once...

Mo Liufeng couldn't help but want to sneer.

How come he never realized before that Gu Fuling could be so ruthless?

He asked her to help him, and she asked him to confess to the Third Prince's crime. The Third Prince had the support of his maternal clan and many connections in the court, which was why he had not been punished until today. But if he were the one to do this, he would be executed immediately without any chance of discernment.

Mo Liufeng had experienced far too much of the cold-bloodedness and indifference of those in the palace in his life, which is why he was so disappointed when Gu Fuling became like this: "Fuling, don't worry, I will help you."

He walked up to her with a light laugh and touched her forehead.

Gu Fuling's eyes immediately lit up, her expression deeply moved: "Liufeng, thank you so much. As long as you help, Jinghan will definitely be alright!"

Yes, Mo Jinghan will be fine; he'll be the one who gets into trouble in the end.

Although he thought this to himself, Mo Liufeng said nothing.

"Well, go back."

Gu Fuling, having received the answer, burst into laughter through her tears and left satisfied.

Gu Lingzhi heard and saw everything that happened outside, and although she was just an observer, she was genuinely disgusted.

She truly felt sorry for Mo Liufeng.

Fortunately, this person has now seen through Gu Fuling's disguise and knows what to do next, so she doesn't need to worry about anything else.

She tried to move, but the hand on her waist did not let go.

Gu Lingzhi was startled and almost bumped into Mo Jiuxiao's face when she turned around.

She quickly pushed open the door to the hidden compartment, her cheeks flushed.

Although the space inside the hidden compartment was not small, it was not very spacious either. Two people would have to stand very close together to barely stay there.

Mo Jiuxiao didn't waste any time; his hands were never idle on her body.

Gu Lingzhi straightened her clothes, while Mo Jiuxiao resumed his aloof demeanor, standing solemnly beside her.

Mo Liufeng's expression also twisted somewhat: "I didn't expect her to say that. I'm truly sorry for making you two laugh."

Gu Lingzhi quickly waved her hand: "It's alright, it's alright, everyone makes mistakes sometimes..."

Mo Liufeng: "..."

He was speechless for a moment, then his face darkened even more. Although the wound on his forehead had been cleaned, it had not been bandaged. "I'm injured, so I won't see you off. Please take care."

Gu Lingzhi didn't stand on ceremony with him and left the inn with Mo Jiuxiao.

After getting into the carriage, Gu Lingzhi did not rush back to the palace, but instead went to the Zhenguo Marquis's residence again.

The area outside the gates of the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion was still deserted, just like the last time I came.

This time, instead of staying outside, she stepped forward and ripped off the seal.

Looking at the courtyard that she remembered so well, now in such a chaotic state, Gu Lingzhi sighed inwardly.

Plucking a blade of grass and fiddling with it between her fingertips, Gu Lingzhi walked along the cobblestone path, looking at the waterside pavilion not far away, now covered in moss: "Your Highness, this mansion is very beautiful."

Mo Jiuxiao followed behind her with his hands behind his back.

Do you want to come back and live here?

Does she want to come back and live here? Gu Fuling's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt a little more hopeful.

Perhaps it was the lingering thoughts of the original Gu Lingzhi that made her feel something about this matter.

She tilted her head back, the sunlight reflected in the lake in her eyes: "I don't want to."

The two crisp and decisive words surprised Mo Jiuxiao slightly: "Why not?"

Because, in the end, she is not the original Gu Lingzhi.

The reason for dealing with the Third Prince and Gu Fuling now is so that I can live an upright life in the future, and also to give an explanation to the original Gu Lingzhi.

But ultimately, what she longed for most was to return to her original world: "Once everything is resolved, I'll travel around, to places where no one can find me, and then, I'll look for some extraordinary people and events..."

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist.

Mo Jiuxiao's eyes, which had previously shown little emotion, began to fill with intense anger. He gripped her wrist tightly, his tone revealing unmistakable accusation: "Gu Lingzhi, are you leaving me?"
