Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 188: Chapter 107 Old House Excavations_2

Yuan Bao spoke as he took out a small brocade box from the other box and handed it to Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng hesitated before taking the brocade box and looked at Yuan Bao, “Is this what contains the forehead ornament?”

Yuan Bao nodded vigorously.

Gu Changsheng frowned as she opened the latch of the brocade box, and sure enough, upon the black velvet, the crimson forehead ornament glowed with a lustrous sheen.

“Lady, I’ve heard from Uncle Song that you look very much like Madam. Is the person in this painting Madam?” Xiao Cui stepped forward and asked tentatively.

Gu Changsheng nodded, “It should be, more or less. We can be sure once Uncle Song returns.”

In her heart, Gu Changsheng was almost ninety-nine percent certain that the person in the painting was the mother of this body, and without a doubt, her own mother!

Gu Changsheng carefully picked up the ornament, surprised by the sensation—it was chilling to the core, like the ice of the polar regions. “Eh? What kind of pearl is this?”

“Yuan Bao doesn’t know. I’ve even been into the Imperial Palace’s treasury twice, having seen countless exotic treasures. I’ve even had the fortune to see a golden pearl once, but I’ve never seen a red pearl like this before…” Yuan Bao leaned in mysteriously, “Lady Changsheng, this might truly be a treasure. It’s often said what’s rare is valuable. Since even the well-informed Yuan Bao has never seen this pearl before, it must be rare, and if it’s rare, it’s definitely precious…”

“The material… not to mention you; even I have never seen anything like it…” Gu Changsheng held the ornament under the light, the crystal-clear redness seeming to flow like liquid light, appearing warm but being incredibly cold.

Damn, she had seen diamonds before, why was she so ignorant now in ancient times?

This thing couldn’t possibly be some unparalleled treasure, right?

If that were the case, she’d be making a fortune!

Gu Changsheng vaguely saw countless silvers spinning before her eyes…

It was just too tempting!

“You all haven’t seen it either?” Gu Changsheng asked Xiao Cui and Dong Lei.

As expected, Xiao Cui and Dong Lei both shook their heads in unison.

“This is strange. My family is nothing but a common medicinal family, at best considered a family of medicinal fragrance; logically, we shouldn’t have any precious treasures…” Gu Changsheng said as she carefully held the coral chain of the ornament, unable to let go.

Beautiful! It was captivatingly beautiful!

For someone who loved beauty, all the wonderful things in the world were filled with deadly temptation.

At this moment, this exquisitely beautiful forehead ornament made Gu Changsheng unable to let go and she particularly wanted to claim it for herself.

“Little Monk, you were able to predict Yuan Bao’s arrival. Even if you’re a charlatan, you must have some skills. Come here, help me see if you’ve ever seen this pearl?” After inspecting the ornament for a long time without any clue, Gu Changsheng decided to swallow her pride and seek advice from the Little Monk in meditation beside her.

The Little Monk Bu Jie, who had been deep in meditation, slowly opened his eyes at her words and uttered a compassionate Buddhist chant, “Amitabha.”

“Buddha is in the heart. You can even digest meat and fish, why keep bringing up your Buddha all the time? Just help me see if you recognize this thing,” Gu Changsheng said, squatting curiously in front of the Little Monk.

In the entire room, not one had seen such an item. Only the Little Monk was left.

Desperate times call for desperate measures; perhaps the Little Monk truly had seen it?

“This poor monk has not seen it before.”

Gu Changsheng waited for a good while only to receive such an answer. Her hopes dashed, she couldn’t help but sigh, “Little Monk, if you haven’t seen it, just say you haven’t seen it. Why pretend there’s some mystery? Don’t you know that giving someone hope, then disappointing them, is very unethical?”

With a resentful glance, Gu Changsheng turned and walked away.

Just as Gu Changsheng turned around, Little Monk Bu Jie suddenly looked up, “Benefactor, since this object is a remnant of your mother, why not wear it on your body as a keepsake?”

Gu Changsheng turned back, puzzled, “Wear it on my body? Can I wear it on my head?”

Such an exquisite forehead ornament; she could hardly bear to lock it away herself.

But since it was a relic, it should be properly preserved, and it was somewhat inappropriate to wear it rashly.

Since Little Monk Bu Jie had said so, of course she had to ask.

“What one inherits from ancestors should indeed be cherished and respected; if the Benefactor wishes to wear it, there is no harm.”

Gu Changsheng watched the solemn Little Monk Bu Jie with a puzzled look, thinking for a moment before she slowly leaned closer to him, “Little Monk, why do I feel your reaction is a bit weird? Do you know something I don’t know, yet you don’t want me to know?”

Pressured by Gu Changsheng’s persistence, Little Monk Bu Jie shifted his body slightly backward, “Benefactor, everything has its divine timing, just wait for the right moment.”

“Damn it! Your evasive words, just how long are you going to say them? A charlatan is damn well a charlatan; the lines are all the same, unchanging for a thousand years. Continue to play the sage with me; I’ll see just when your so-called ‘right moment’ will come!”

“If the moment I’ve been waiting for never comes in this lifetime, Little Monk, then you and I will just keep at it until the end!” Gu Changsheng said indignantly, turned around, and headed to her room with the ornament.

Damn it, sleep was the most important; being bothered by all this nonsense was just too annoying!

Forget about it, if the sky falls, there’s someone tall to hold it up; just let it be!

“Ah, so Lady Changsheng is leaving just like that? I forgot something. Right now, all the doctors in Liuzhou City are nearly going mad looking for her; she should hide well.” Yuan Bao spoke and took a few steps to follow, but seeing that Gu Changsheng hadn’t even turned her head, he turned back to Dong Lei, feeling deflated, and began to inquire about the Little Monk’s origins.
