Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 256: Chapter 153: Nourishing Yin and Strengthening Yang is Very Important Chapter 256: Chapter 153: Nourishing Yin and Strengthening Yang is Very Important Upon hearing Yuan Bao’s voice, Gu Changsheng’s face noticeably darkened.

It was all Yuan Bao’s fault, making a mountain out of a molehill and passing it on to Zhou Mu.

If it weren’t for his pigeon-transmitted messages causing misunderstandings, why would Zhou Mu have rushed back with injuries?

“Someone, take Yuan Bao and lock him in the woodshed, no meals allowed!” The best way to punish a foodie was to cut off his food supply, starve him for two meals, and see if he still had the energy to shout and scream, making a fuss!

Gu Changsheng commanded angrily, then couldn’t help but grumble, “He’s from the County Prince’s Mansion, after all, too inexperienced, making a fuss over trivial matters.”

What’s not good anymore? Right now, the worst thing is Zhou Mu, who looks like he’s about to collapse!

Gu Changsheng signaled Xiao Cui with his eyes to help and supported Zhou Mu up. “You should just obediently go back to your room and lie down. The fever has just subsided, and you dare to come out and catch a draft. Are you testing my medical skills?”

Leaning on Gu Changsheng’s shoulder, Zhou Mu’s lips curved slightly, showing no self-awareness of his severe poison injury.

He felt that being injured was actually quite nice, being treated to her gentle and soft words. The feeling was quite good…

“You don’t need to continue developing any antidote. The Qianji Poison won’t take my life that quickly,” he said, lying in bed while watching Gu Changsheng carefully cover him with a quilt. Zhou Mu repeated his caution, still worried.

Gu Changsheng rolled his eyes. “Did you listen to anything I said just now?”

A look of confusion flashed across Zhou Mu’s pale face as his anger just now had made him inattentive.

“I’m with medicine all day long. Even if I’m not immune to all poisons, I have much higher tolerance than you. Ordinary poisons don’t affect me much. Even Qianji Poison not very effective on me,” Gu Changsheng raised his eyebrows and gave him a knowing look.

Clearly Zhou Mu understood, but shook his head in disbelief. “Still, it’s poison, how can you ingest it casually? I forbid you to risk your life!”

Gu Changsheng looked at Zhou Mu, who was as fussy as an old hen, and felt a sweet pang in his heart but pretended to be bothered and touched his forehead, moving a bit closer to whisper, “That won’t do! Evildoer, let me tell you, in my world, developing poisons is a crime against public safety. If caught, you’d be thrown in jail or even shot. Even when I held high positions, I had to sneak around like a thief. Now, it’s great here since developing poison isn’t illegal. If I had known, I wouldn’t have bothered training armed forces. I’d just develop some poison water, poison foam, poison smoke, and in minutes I could take down a large area. It saves time and effort and is very effective. How perfect!”

Used to saving lives as a doctor, she had almost forgotten her hobby. Really, she wondered how much misery she had suffered unnecessarily!

She wanted to develop lots of poisons. Anyone who made things unpleasant for her, she could handle without lifting a finger, just pretending to be an harmless White Lotus and easily dealing with all her opponents!

This plan was brilliant. Just do it! Shake hands!

Zhou Mu, seeing the vibrant woman so close, was moved and his action of stealing a kiss was smooth as flowing water.

Gu Changsheng, covering her unexpectedly stolen cheek, stood up furiously and pointed at the man on the bed, “You evildoer, I’m telling you, don’t push your luck. If it weren’t for your illness, if you had touched me earlier outside, I would have… I would have…”

Stuttering twice, the red-faced Gu Changsheng still couldn’t organize her words, and turned away in anger, “You better sleep well and heal. If you dare touch me again, be careful, I’ll get back at you!”

Zhou Mu’s lips curved into a sinister smile, his voice deep and slightly hoarse, “My prince waits for you to get… back… at… me…”

As Gu Changsheng was preparing to leave, she inadvertently thought of Zhou Mu’s lips she had bitten and his neck she had nibbled… She really had gotten back at him!

With a gush, her face flushed red with blood.

“Get lost!” Throwing down those words, Gu Changsheng fled with a red face.

Zhou Mu watched her beloved fleeing and loudly cautioned with all her might, “Even if you develop an antidote, you must be careful.”

Already far away, Gu Changsheng pouted and responded, “Got it.”

When she turned around, she saw a courtyard full of people staring at her with inexplicable expressions…

Their eyes were brazenly and nakedly red…

Following their gazes, Gu Changsheng inadvertently caught sight of the seductive berry mark on her collarbone…

Damn! She had fled without watching where she was going and had actually run outside!

She darted back inside, closed the door, bolted it, and completed all actions in one breath, leaving the crowd outside stunned, their faces a kaleidoscope of expressions…

Back in the outer room, Gu Changsheng grabbed a teacup and gulped down several mouthfuls of tea when she heard voices from outside.

“Goodness, this is too wild, I always thought the County Prince was indifferent to women!”

“Not just the lord, I just took a peek through the door gap, tsk tsk… the County Prince, he also…”

“Oh my, I can hardly take it anymore, could the County Prince’s illness be from overdoing ‘that’ and getting exhausted?”

“It looks like it to me, didn’t you see how red Hall Master Yhan’s face was when he came out earlier…”

“These two really are like newlyweds reunited after a short absence, so clingy, look how hurried they are, no one caring to be gentle and cherish…”

“…”

“…”

The babbling voices reached Gu Changsheng’s ears, challenging her fragile nerves, and she twitched the corners of her mouth again and again, bleeding internally…

Damn it! Who said ancient people were ignorant?

Look how wildly their imaginations are running, probably having fantasized everything down to the thirty-six positions and seventy-two tactics, huh?

Damn! A bunch of perverted and evil-minded people, she and Zhou Mu are very pure, okay?

Purely a mess!

In pain, she hugged her head and leaned on the medicine counter, Gu Changsheng felt like dying!

“I say, the County Prince is really too much, to get exhausted doing that, why don’t we go into the mountains and hunt some things to bring back for him to replenish?”

“Deer blood, I heard deer blood is the most effective for this…”

“Tiger Whip, that’s the real deal for nourishing the body, you don’t know this, do you?”

“Wild sheep’s kidneys, eat them and you’ll strengthen exactly what’s needed, I heard from the older generation that this is effective too…”

“…”

Babbling incessantly, a multitude of voices entered Gu Changsheng’s ears, turning him practically into a mummy…

Deer blood? Tiger Whip? Sheep’s kidneys?

For God’s sake! Seriously professional!

Even more so than being a doctor herself!

That big group outside. The rascals, are indeed pros at this, each one more adept than the last…

With a hateful glance at the interior room, Gu Changsheng felt like crying but could find no tears.

Nourishing? More bullshit nourishment?

Last night, she had felt it clearly, Zhou Mu, that evildoer, his certain function was as normal as could be, and if this continues, wouldn’t they fear bursting from over-nourishment?

“In my opinion, we should go into the mountains once, the County Prince was once our master, and will be for half of our future time. Considering the happiness in the second half of his life, we cannot simply ignore this, right?”

“Yes, yes.”

The assenting voices continued…

Gu Changsheng’s face turned beet red, looking just like a liver, her future happiness?

Damn it, they were about to anger her to death, what bloody happiness in her future life are they talking about?

Scratching at the wall proved that, indeed, not making it as an ostrich comes with dire consequences…

Her authority as a master was like the river waters flowing eastward, gone never to return…

The days ahead, how will she get through them…

The discussion outside the door didn’t stop, teemed to escalate even more.

“Don’t just think about the County Prince, the master also needs nourishment.” A protesting female voice rose.

“Right, it’s important to invigorate Yang, but nourishing Yin is also very important, the master is our present master!”

“Something like Black Wood Ear, black sesame, all are good for women when eaten.”

“Don’t forget donkey-hide gelatin, that’s also good…”

“…”

“…”

Babbling away, Gu Changsheng choked on a figurative mouthful of old blood, caught in her throat, utterly suffocating.

Even the Female Army joined in this spitball war of critique, damn it, Gu Changsheng truly believed, they were each more professional than the next!

Black Wood Ear? Black sesame? Donkey-hide gelatin?…

Wide-eyed! This is a rhythm to death!

This absolutely comes from their experiences originated from the brothel!

Even without eating it, Gu Changsheng felt a compulsion almost enough to bleed from all seven orifices, if she ate too much, she might just bleed to death from over-nourishment…

The discussion outside about nourishing Yin and invigorating Yang turned on crazy mode, sound, something the ancient walls couldn’t stop.

“Cough cough…”

A repressed, low coughing sound came from the interior room, Gu Changsheng could clearly feel the suppressed laughter in that coughing sound, and just then, Gu Changsheng burned with rage!

Furiously, she stormed towards the interior, pointing at Zhou Mu on the bed who was desperately holding back his laughter until his face turned red, Gu Changsheng snapped, “You still have the face to laugh, you’re impotent, have sexual dysfunction, suffer from Yang deficiency, kidney deficiency, erectile dysfunction, and you still have the face to laugh? Are you looking forward to them bringing you deer blood, Tiger Whip, and sheep’s kidneys? Huh? Huh? Huh?”

Unable to suppress a low growl, Gu Changsheng wished she could tear the nodding man in front of her into pieces to vent her anger.

“Don’t you dare laugh! Laugh again and I’ll force-feed you another bottle of Qianji Poison, and send you off to meet Lord Yama!”

Too damn infuriating, sick and needing her care was one thing, but damn it, they mysteriously caused her to suffer from “Yin deficiency”. What did she do to deserve this?

The voices outside seeped through the window gratings, vaguely audible, driving Gu Changsheng nearly to a rampage.

For crying out loud! What can be endured, what can’t be, if an uncle can endure, an aunt can’t anymore, Gu Changsheng, like a wild gust, swept towards the door.

The firmly shut door suddenly swung wide open, startling the three thousand Elite Guards outside severely.

Gu Changsheng stood with her hands on her hips in the doorway, her posture like a teapot, blocking the way as her surrounding anger crackled and popped intensely.

Exchanging looks, the group who was just indecently discussing nonstop a moment ago suddenly felt a foreboding of imminent disaster.

Tentatively stepping back, then another stealthy step back, if possible, they desperately wished they could bolt…

The master looked too terrifying, unprecedentedly terrifying…
