Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 240: Chapter 141: The Male Mistress Appears_2 Chapter 240: Chapter 141: The Male Mistress Appears_2 This is completely two different people…

“So it’s no wonder Lady Changsheng is known as the Divine Doctor, you prescribed the medicine, and I only took it for just over a month, the whole person slimmed down like a deflated ball.” Du Chenzhi said while opening his arms and spinning around, “Lady Changsheng, Han Qiu, don’t you feel like you should reevaluate me after such a change?”

The two people being mentioned nodded in unison!

Indeed, they deserved a second look!

“How did you become the city lord of Liuzhou City?” Gu Changsheng walked around Du Chenzhi and asked.

“My father wrote a recommendation letter to the Emperor, and then I became the new city lord of Liuzhou.” Du Chenzhi frankly admitted, “My family has been scholarly and part of the officialdom for generations, if not for my previous obesity that marred my appearance, I would likely have entered official service long ago.”

“Your father recommended you?” Gu Changsheng twitched the corner of his mouth, “That’s not quite proper…”

“To recommend the virtuous without avoiding relatives!” Du Chenzhi replied briskly.

The faces of the people around collectively twitched.

“To recommend the virtuous without avoiding relatives is fine, but when applied to you, it seems a bit unreliable!” The person who was just rolling on the ground playing the clown, now suddenly claimed to be a sage, honestly, where the sage is, Gu Changsheng really couldn’t see!

Du Chenzhi, seeing the circle of his subordinates with swords at their necks, quietly wiped off a cold sweat, “Lady Changsheng, this is all a misunderstanding, swords have no eyes, could you please let them put away those swords first?”

This bunch, looking so menacing, is too scary!

Du Chenzhi leaned ever so slightly toward Gu Changsheng.

“Stand down!” Four longswords clanged as they were held in front of him, the four guards of Jin Yu Liang Yuan vigilantly watching him.

Even if he was an old acquaintance of the master, one could not let one’s guard down!

“Du Chenzhi, tell me, you give up being the prodigal Taisui of Du Residence and run over to Liuzhou to stir up some kind of storm?” A little more, and if her gesture had been a tad slower, the son of Elder Du would have become a lost soul under the swords of the six maids.

Carefully pushing against the sword tip that poked his chest, Du Chenzhi looked innocently aggrieved, “How am I stirring up trouble? This is me following orders to take up my post!”

Who did he provoke? He barely arrived in Liuzhou, hastily sought out his benefactor, only to be met with swords drawn, how tragic…

“A mere Fourth Rank city lord comes into the city with five thousand soldiers and also carries the Commander’s Seal of Jiangnan Road, is that not stirring up trouble?” Gu Changsheng scoffed coldly.

“Didn’t I send an invitation card? Lady Changsheng, knowing it’s me, what is there to worry about? Lady Changsheng, you did a great favor to the Du Family, how could I possibly wish you harm?” Du Chenzhi didn’t understand.

Hearing his words, Gu Changsheng was genuinely injured on the inside, with a look of frustration, “Damn, it’s true that you sent an invitation, but you forgot to sign it!”

“Uh…” Upon hearing this, Du Chenzhi froze, and awkwardly scratching his head, shrank back and let out a forced chuckle, “Hehe, isn’t this my first time on the road? It’s inevitable to be a bit flustered, a slight oversight is forgivable, right?”

Right? Speedily put down those weapons, they’re scaring me to death!

Gu Changsheng helplessly waved her hand, and in the next instant, the Elite Guards’ swords were sheathed, cautiously standing behind Gu Changsheng.

Du Chenzhi was dumbfounded as he looked around at the men and women who took up half of the back garden. It was the first time he’d seen maid girls who could fight; just now, he had definitely seen those maids overpower his guards…

Gu Changsheng slowly took a seat in the Taishi Chair that had been moved over, watching Du Chenzhi act as if he’d never seen the world before.

She couldn’t help but shake her head; after so many years as a fat man, Du Chenzhi had always aimed to become a true wastrel of nobility. Now, in official robes, his half-baked prodigal aura was still not fully retracted, looking somewhat awkward.

“City Lord Du, a new official starts with three fires. Tell me, with the imperial intent for you to bring five thousand troops into the city, how does it plan for you to start that fire?” Fingertips tapping on the armrest, Gu Changsheng asked breezily.

Once this subject was mentioned, Du Chenzhi became energetic, he waved his attendants away and began to blabber.

“The Emperor’s intention is to have me intimidate you. Father said, the gist is to scare you, to make you realize the deep chasm between the commoners and the Imperial Family, then to know better and back down.” Du Chenzhi said, sniffing in self-pity, “Clearly, you weren’t scared, but it gave me a good fright instead, my heart is still pounding.”

Gu Changsheng gave him a glance full of meaning: serves you right!

Serves-you-right Du Chenzhi quietly moved a little closer to Gu Changsheng, whispering, “Actually, while I do hold the Commander’s Seal of Jiangnan Road, once County Prince Zhou Mu returns, if he wants to take it from my hands, wouldn’t that be exceedingly easy?”

Gu Changsheng’s eyes twitched at the words, said irritably, “Even if Zhou Mu doesn’t come back, I could take your Commander’s Seal effortlessly!”

Du Chenzhi, with an injury to his pride, glanced around and conceded, okay, facts speak louder than words!

“So it turns out, these three hundred thousand stationed troops of Jiangnan Road are simply a gift to Zhou Mu.” Gu Changsheng said with a wry smile, murmuring, “The Emperor’s favored, it turns out to be him…”

Exiled from the Capital City, yet with a fief in the prosperous Liuzhou Region, not only was he given Liuzhou, but he was also handed the three hundred thousand stationed troops of Jiangnan Road…

If Gu Changsheng still couldn’t see the writing on the wall, then she’d be nothing but a naive fool!

While she had anticipated this, facing it head-on, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel sorry for Zhou Mu; his plans seemed destined to fall through…

Understanding what Gu Changsheng meant, Du Chenzhi nodded in agreement, knowing full well his father was held in high esteem by the Emperor, “Lady Changsheng, this first fire of intimidation directed at you, I’ve already watered it down for you to know, although there was a little hitch in the middle, but at least my heart was with you, right?”
