Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 276: Chapter 167: Even Bricks and Tiles Become Spirits Chapter 276: Chapter 167: Even Bricks and Tiles Become Spirits Finally, Yuan Bao found someone to lead the horse over, but Zhou Mu was displeased.

His large eyes brimming with pity, Zhou Mu pointed to his waist and said, “It seems that the wound from when I rode to suppress the bandits has split open again…”

His voice was so plaintive and pitiful, it was heart-wrenchingly irresistible, don’t even mention it!

Gu Changsheng immediately glared, “Who was it that wanted to show off and insisted on riding a horse?”

Was this ordeal somehow her fault?

Looking aggrieved, Zhou Mu glanced at her and said, “Was I not simply following the script you arranged? Or did you expect me to suppress bandits while reclining on a couch?”

Gu Changsheng was at a loss for words. Considering that the eunuch who came to deliver the royal decree had already waited for half the morning, they could delay no longer, she waved her hand dismissively, “Then, you stay here, I’ll go receive the decree myself.”

It was just a piece of paper, after all, not a dragon’s den and tiger’s lair; she could handle it alone!

Zhou Mu immediately became even less pleased, “How can that be acceptable? The servants raised by that old man, each one’s eyes are on their forehead. What if someone bullies you? I must go to protect you!”

Gu Changsheng thought it over and realized it was indeed true. Every one of those who came from the palace looked down on others, even Yuan Bao behaved arrogantly in front of others!

Helpless, the tall horse was exchanged for a carriage, and Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu set out together towards Liuzhou City.

Watching the spectacle, the onlookers also followed toward Liuzhou City.

They were curious about what sort of imperial edict required Lady Changsheng to receive it in person!

“His Majesty has specifically issued this imperial edict for Princess Consort Changsheng.”

“Could it be that Lady Changsheng is about to be officially conferred as the County Princess Consort?”

“That’s hard to say; what kind of threshold does the Imperial Family have? Have you forgotten Hu Bingzhi’s clamor not long ago?”

“Indeed, with Lady Changsheng’s background, marrying into the Imperial Family is harder than reaching the heavens!”

“But just now, the trusted followers of His Highness Prince Mu were all shouting ‘Princess Consort,’ and didn’t we follow along as well?”

“What of it? His Highness Prince Mu acknowledges her, but whether the Imperial relatives and nobles acknowledge her is still up for debate.”

“In my opinion, Lady Changshsheng is a legend. The name ‘Medicine God’ is no small feat. Not only did she marry into an official’s household in the Capital City, but if she remarries to His Highness Prince Mu and enters the Imperial Family, it will be a unique and remarkable event in our time.”

“…”

The murmurs from those trailing the carriage were transmitted inside without missing a beat.

Zhou Mu’s face gradually darkened, and a cold aura began to form around him.

“What are you doing? The fact that I was married before is undeniable. Not only was I married, but I also brought a child, a burden, along with me. They’re not wrong in saying that. If you have reservations about this, isn’t it a bit late now?” Gu Changsheng held back his eagerness to stand up.

Zhou Mu turned around, a trace of tension flickered on his godlike face, “I’m not concerned about that!”

When alone with her, he refrained from using the term “this prince” for himself.

“I know you’re not concerned about that, so why are you angry? They’re just stating a fact. What can you change by going out there? Can you change my identity as an Abandoned Wife? Or change the fact that you come from the Imperial Family?” Gu Changsheng pulled him back and soothed him softly, “Zhou Mu, the world is so big, and it’s hard to silence everyone. Gossip and rumors, the more you try to stifle them, the furth they spread. If you go out now in a fury, it will only backfire!”

“Let them speak if they like to talk, let them discuss if they like to discuss. We won’t lose a chunk of flesh over it. As long as we don’t care, what does it matter if rumors fill the city? They have their sorrows and joys, while I revel in my unexpected turn of good fortune, now becoming a legend myself!”

“As for gossip and rumors, we can delight in the pleasant ones and just listen for fun. For the unpleasant ones, let them go in one ear and out the other as if we never heard them at all. It’s their saliva that’s being wasted, and if they end up with laryngitis, it can’t be blamed on us. Why should we worry?”

In Gu Changsheng’s repeated use of “we,” Zhou Mu’s frown gradually relaxed, and his mood also significantly improved.

He liked the feeling of being tied to her, it made him feel so close to her.

With a sweep of his long arm, unsurprisingly, Gu Changsheng found herself once again in those arms that wafted a faint scent of ambergris, “I just dislike them talking about you.”

He treasured her, spoiled her, indulged her, wanting to bind her to his side at all times, fearing that someone might hurt her in his absence.

These people, however, said whatever they pleased!

His Gu Changsheng, unparalleled in this world, how could he tolerate their criticism?

“Alright, I’ll be content and joyous on my own, let others be damned! Let’s not listen to these things!” In the familiar embrace, Gu Changsheng grew drowsy, “Besides, they haven’t said anything unpleasant, the common folk are still mostly kind-hearted, don’t be angry now, okay?”
