Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 253: Chapter 151: Chaos of War Chapter 253: Chapter 151: Chaos of War Zhou Mu looked at Gu Changsheng, then glanced at the medicine bottle in his hand, and a hint of an ambiguous smile curled up on his lips, he eventually picked up the bottle and slowly applied the powder.

When Gu Changsheng turned around, he saw his captivating red lips, and his face inadvertently flushed red.

“Dry your hair and get some rest early,” Gu Changsheng handed him the brocade handkerchief and scurried into bed like he was fleeing the scene.

Although she knew he would return that night, there were always some things beyond her expectations.

For instance, the enchanting ambiance of the room, or the confusion of emotions just moments ago…

Once the heart is moved, indeed many things start to seem inevitable.

The rustling sound reached her ears, and Gu Changsheng turned around, squinting at Zhou Mu lying on the couch, “What exactly should we do tomorrow?”

“Hmm, haven’t you rejected all my suggestions?” came Zhou Mu’s husky voice.

Gu Changsheng whined lowly, burying his face into the soft pillow.

“You are the Great General King, surely you must be stronger in military tactics and strategies than I am? This isn’t your standard…” Gu Changsheng wore a bright, yet troubled sorrow on his face, utterly conflicted, “Hallelujah, let the sun never rise again.”

Damn it, even if she didn’t see the sun tomorrow, she would accept her fate!

Zhou Mu’s deep laughter came through, “Good, go to sleep.”

From across the distance, Gu Changsheng nodded, sleep it is! Damn it, there must be a way out when the going gets tough, perhaps there’s a village beyond the dark woods waiting to be found?

Gu Changsheng slowly closed his eyes.

The middle of the night passed in silence.

Clearly, not swayed by Gu Changsheng’s inner cursing, the Earth continued to rotate without a mysterious pause, and Eunuch Sun rose as usual, crossing the eastern hills after the sixth rooster crow, bathing the land in light…

When Dong Lei swung a pair of cleavers into the kitchen, the first rays of dawn lit up the window lattice of Gu Changsheng’s room.

“Ah!”

It’s over! Daybreak has come! Gu Changsheng, touching his slightly swollen lips, let out a mournful howl and sprang up from bed, hastily putting on clothes.

“Evildoer, get up quickly.”

“Evildoer, why don’t you just fly out unnoticed? I’ll just say I turned like this because I ate something spicy?”

Knowing martial arts is great, indeed a Divine Weapon for a hasty escape.

But the slender figure on the couch just shifted slightly and showed no intention of getting up.

Thinking of his rushing back through the night, Gu Changsheng felt a twinge of heartache and didn’t hurry him anymore, just kept muttering while tidying herself up.

“I’ve decided, I’ll just hide in the room for two or three days until the injury heals before going out.”

Damn it, she didn’t believe the ancient people’s imagination could be that extensive; let them conjecture all they want, it was better than laying the tragic story of their love and hate in front of everyone, right?

All delusions not based on reality are not real, after all, if not caught in the act, she still had a chance to argue her way out.

With her glib tongue, she was sure that when it came time to face the music, she could eloquently exonerate them both!

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and so the decision was made, albeit grudgingly!

Embracing the ostrich strategy, Gu Changsheng was no longer in a hurry.

After washing up in the Clean Room, Gu Changsheng sat in front of the dressing table. When she looked up into the mirror, her whole being took a turn for the worse.

The exposed delicate white neck bore the marks of strawberries, ambiguously enticing, prompting fanciful thoughts.

Gu Changsheng stubbornly opened her collar to take a look, and there you go! The strawberries planted by the evildoer threatened to become widespread.

“Evildoer!” With a low roar, Gu Changsheng dashed toward the culprit like a gale.

She grabbed the collar of the person lying casually on the couch and interrogated aggressively, teeth gritted as if ready to come to blows, “How can you still sleep, how dare you sleep! Look at what you’ve done to me!”

“I had just mustered the courage to decide to be an ostrich, and you’ve gone and delayed my ostrich life!”

I tug! I shake! I swing!

As expected, under Gu Changsheng’s violent treatment, Zhou Mu’s shirt obligingly fell open.

Cough cough!

Gu Changsheng choked on her saliva, nearly suffocating herself.

Alright, Zhou Mu’s neck hadn’t been spared either…

Who excels at leaving love bites…

When exactly did she leave these marks on his neck? Gu Changsheng was inwardly distressed. Done! They were even Stevens; obviously, she couldn’t pin this crime on him…

And you know what? The few strawberries marks on Zhou Mu’s neck, adorning his beautiful contours, conveyed an indefinable beauty, an indefinable seduction…

Gu Changsheng sneakily followed the trail of exposed skin up his neck, just one look, and it struck her like lightning, leaving her frozen on the spot!

“Zhou Mu!” She called out uncertainly, careful as she looked at the person before her.

With a face pale as death, forehead slick with sweat, brows tightly furrowed, as if bearing great pain…

Gu Changsheng felt her heart leap to her throat.

A feeling known as fear flooded her entire being instantly.

She had never been afraid in the midst of gunfire and life-threatening situations, nor when feeling lost and helpless in another world.

But at this moment, the fear from the night of the deadly fight where she almost lost her son resurfaced, draining the color from Gu Changsheng’s face, leaving her pallid.

“Someone!”

An anxious roar, unable to hide the fear, instantly echoed through the open skies of Dark Camp Fortress, startling the birds in the woods and jolting the soldiers in the middle of their morning drills.

“It’s the boss’s voice!”

“The boss is in trouble!”

After several days of training, everyone’s alertness had significantly improved, and they quickly overcame their surprise to analyze the origin of the sound.

Innumerable figures dashed towards Gu Changsheng’s bedroom like a gale mixed with lightning.

“Master!” They called out with worry, but no one dared to push the door open.

They had received news that their lord had successfully infiltrated the Dark Camp Fortress the day before. In the morning, they expected that what awaited them would be Master’s criticism for their lax defense and another round of cruel training. However, instead of the Master’s expected arrival, they were met with his cry of alarm.

The lord must be in his bedroom now; it would surely be inappropriate for them to enter, wouldn’t it?

“Doctor, call the Doctor.”

A hint of a sob could be heard in Gu Changsheng’s voice, and the panicked emotion quickly infected the people standing solemnly outside the door.

Doctor?

Wasn’t the Master himself known as a Divine Doctor to all?

“Something’s wrong! There’s been an accident!”

“Hall Master Yhan!”

Someone quickly realized that something was amiss and started frantically searching for Yhan Ting’s voice and figure.

The entire Dark Camp was thrown into chaos.

If something had panicked Lady Changsheng so much that she was even calling for a doctor, then it must be either her or their lord who had fallen ill!

Either way, it was a grave matter!

And in the Dark Camp, the only doctor was Yhan Ting!

Search! They must find Hall Master Yhan!

While there was chaos outside, inside the room Gu Changsheng sat beside the couch, equally at a loss.

“Zhou Mu, wake up, please wake up!” Grasping one of Zhou Mu’s hands, Gu Changsheng called out with concern.

Even upon their first meeting, when he was injured and utterly disheveled, he had never appeared as fragile as he did today.

Her hand trembled as she cautiously reached out to touch his pale face, feeling the scorching heat in her palm, Gu Changsheng was overwhelmed with panic.

How could this happen? How could it be?

“Zhou Mu, nothing will happen to you, surely nothing. You promised to marry me with a Phoenix Crown and Cape, to proudly bring me into your home. Surely, nothing will happen,” Gu Changsheng muttered to herself, shaking her head as if to reassure herself.

At that moment, she had completely forgotten that she was a doctor.

She was just looking worriedly at the man on the couch who seemed like he could be scattered away by a mere gust of wind.

She had grown used to his cold, proud, and unapproachable demeanor, to him always standing behind her like a mountain, providing a sense of stability. She had never imagined that the man who seemed like a Heavenly God could also have such a vulnerable moment…

“Zhou Mu, the doctor will be here soon, you’ll be alright…”

Gu Changsheng continued to hypnotize herself with her own reassurances as a tear slowly trailed down her eyelid, falling onto the back of Zhou Mu’s hand…

In her previous life of twenty-nine years, she had never known the taste of love!

In this life, she admitted that she had lost!

“Zhou Mu, please wake up, whatever you ask, I will agree! I’ll agree to anything!”

On her pale face, her long eyelashes trembled…

Gu Changsheng felt a slight movement in her palm and immediately leaned down excitedly, “Zhou Mu!”

His eyelashes fluttered again, and Zhou Mu opened his eyes weakly, enduring immense pain to see the woman he yearned for in tears.

He weakly raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from her face. Zhou Mu’s pale face was full of distress, “Don’t cry…”

“Yes, yes…” Gu Changsheng nodded emotionally, but the tears in her eyes flowed even more fiercely, like pearls falling off a string, unstoppable.

When Yhan Ting and others entered the room, they were greeted by such a scene.

At the edge of the couch by the window, the two of them looked at each other deeply, their eyes as sticky as glue, and the atmosphere was extraordinarily intimate.

Catching a glimpse of their faces, the crowd unanimously looked down.

Those lips, that neck…!

“Get out!” Zhou Mu roared lowly, enduring the pain in his body.

Yhan Ting and the others exchanged glances, each touching their noses, “My lord, your body…”

It was evident to anyone with eyes that the lord was ill!

Wasn’t he calling for a doctor to look at him?

So why was he suddenly ordering them out?

“Get out!” Zhou Mu growled impatiently again, his face growing even paler.

“My lord, your illness is quite severe…”

It’s said that strong men rarely fall ill, but when they do, it’s severe.

Someone like their lord, who was normally strong and healthy, might face a drastic downturn once ill.

Yhan Ting and the others looked at the two of them with concern, their eyes pleading with Gu Changsheng for help.

Zhou Mu was also looking at her, “Get out, having her here is enough for me.”

Yhan Ting touched his nose again, “In that case, Lady Changsheng, please hurry and take the lord’s pulse and prescribe the medicine.”

His words seemed to remind Gu Changsheng, who was still submerged in anxiety. She lifted her sleeve, wiped her face in an ungraceful manner, then immediately pressed her fingers to Zhou Mu’s pulse point.

“I actually forgot that I’m a doctor; don’t worry, you’ll be fine! You must be!” Feeling the weak throbbing under her fingertips, Gu Changsheng strived to calm her mind.

Seeing this, Yhan Ting and the others walked towards the door, looking back three times with every step, their expressions speaking volumes…
