Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 308: 190 Chapter 308: 190 The situation in the Female Army’s dormitory was similar to that of the male soldiers, only lacking the male musk and replaced by a distinctly feminine fragrance.

Zhou Zongbao’s timing was impeccable as he plunged in while the women of the Female Army were loosening their clothes and wiping their bodies.

Those snow-white breasts like jade rabbits, those delicate waists too small to grasp, each figure exquisitely curvaceous, unwittingly caught Zhou Zongbao’s attention and left him dumbfounded.

Such a scene of beauties rising from a bath, could it be that he accidentally wandered into Huaqing Pool in Women’s Kingdom?

But he was clearly in the mountain stronghold looking for his Xiao Qiu…

Before he could sort out his thoughts, several sharp screams rang out beside Zhou Zongbao, making his eardrums tremble.

“Ah! Pervert!”

At the next moment, Zhou Zongbao felt darkness descend over his eyes as he toppled backward.

The Female Army was indeed formidable. Their reactions were swift as heels kicked left and right continuously with impeccable accuracy, striking squarely on Zhou Zongbao’s broad brows and big eyes.

Gu Changsheng, who was about to head to the dining hall, heard the outcry from the Female Army’s dormitory and exclaimed, “Not good!”

He grabbed Zhou Mu from behind him and dashed toward the commotion.

Lau Mang, who was in the middle of wiping his body in the male soldiers’ dorm, heard the shout and, perplexed, pointed to himself, “Who’s calling me?”

This caused his comrades to tease him about his name.

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu arrived just in time to stop the incensed Female Army from continuing their assault.

“Sir, this pervert… he was spying on us as we bathed!”

“…”

“…”

Gu Changsheng had yet to speak when he was immediately confronted by a chorus of complaints from the Female Army.

Gu Changsheng grimaced and glanced at where Zhou Zongbao lay, looking heavenward speechlessly.

Was this what you’d call spying? The man clearly stumbled in unintentionally for everyone to see!

Have you ever heard of anyone who spied on beauties bathing getting caught right at the doorway, out in the open?

The best places for peeking at beauties in the bath are through cracks in the door or the window, right?

“Ow… it hurts…”

Zhou Zongbao was rolling on the ground, holding his eyes, his shirt in such disarray that its original color was indiscernible.

Gu Changsheng took a deep breath silently and rubbed his forehead, looking toward the standing Female Army and asked in a cold voice, “Who did this?”

Who in the world had such perfect aim?

Look at how symmetrical those panda eyes on Prince Bao were!

The Female Army exchanged glances, seeing Prince Mu help up the “pervert” from the ground, they grew even more anxious.

“Reporting to the lord, it was my subordinates.”

A petite soldier stepped forward past her peers, dropping to one knee on the ground.

She had been right at the doorway and was the first to spot Zhou Zongbao, hence…

Those consecutive kicks that landed with precision were indeed her doing!

“You! You! It hurts… ow…” Upon seeing the young beauty who stepped forward, Zhou Zongbao was so infuriated he could hardly express himself, turning to Zhou Mu and continuing to groan in pain.

Gu Changsheng gave Zhou Zongbao a glance and internally lamented.

What on earth is this mess?

No sooner had her subordinate cleared up a major issue, landing someone in serious trouble, here she was dealing with someone turned into a panda!

As the leader, it seemed she had no choice but to take the blame!

With that, Gu Changsheng approached with a cautious, apologetic smile.

“Your Highness Prince Bao, look, this is just a misunderstanding. You came at an unfortunate time, and my subordinates of the Female Army are not to be trifled with. Regarding this matter…”

“So, you mean to say it’s my fault?”

Zhou Zongbao, without letting Gu Changsheng finish, jumped up next to Zhou Mu, sniffling and glaring with his swollen panda eyes, rebuking Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng was instantly at a loss for words! She really wanted to say, if it’s not your fault, whose fault could it possibly be? You trespassed and saw too much, and now you’re sporting panda eyes, so what?

But under Zhou Zongbao’s fiery gaze, Gu Changsheng dared not speak her mind.

If looks could kill, Gu Changsheng felt she would undoubtedly have been torn to pieces…

“It’s my subordinate’s fault. She did not recognize Prince Bao; she admits her guilt.”

Before Gu Changsheng could step forward to mediate further, her troublesome subordinate, without a second word, bowed her head in admission of guilt!

Gu Changsheng’s mouth agape, she was choked up again!

Damn it! What a mess!

Being choked up truly felt awful!

But she couldn’t really let her subordinate take the blame alone. As their master, with her extremely protective nature, there was no way she would let her people be subjected to others’ scrutiny in her presence!

“I…”

Gu Changsheng crossed her arms, decided to take full responsibility for the matter.

“It wasn’t intended by me, I forgot to tell you there was a beauty here that made you lose your focus and get wounded,” Zhou Mu promptly interrupted Gu Changsheng before he could speak, supporting Zhou Zongbao as they started to walk out.

As Gu Changsheng stood dumbfounded, he saw Zhou Zongbao repeatedly look back as they walked out.

The scene was somewhat eerie for a moment. The creator of the panda eyes, kneeling on the ground, looked up bewilderedly and hesitantly called, “Sir?”

“Hmm?” Gu Changsheng, still not recovered, instinctively responded.

“Sir, your subordinate has caused you trouble, I am willing to accept the punishment!” he said as he knelt on his knees.

Injuring His Highness Prince Bao was deemed a crime deserving of execution, absolutely unpardonable!

This awareness was clearly understood by everyone present.

They wanted to plead for mercy but, thinking of military regulations, could only kneel down anxiously alongside him.

When Gu Changsheng came back to his senses, what he saw were numerous subordinates kneeling down, looking at the person right in front of him, Gu Changsheng spoke, “You’re Jin Ling, right?”

“Yes! Sir, Jin Ling admits her fault, willing to accept the punishment!” Jin Ling kowtowed deeply again. She hadn’t expected the sir to remember her name.

“Admit fault? What is your crime? Accept what punishment?” Gu Changsheng waved his hand, “You were merely defending yourself against a wolf, and those kicks, pretty accurate!”

“Uh…”

Everyone was stunned.

“My people, even if they make mistakes, only I can handle the consequences. You might die on the battlefield, but you will not die under manipulation of power!” Gu Changsheng said as he turned and walked out, muttering, “It was just kicking Prince Bao a pair of times, since it was done, I might just let him kick back if that’s needed.”

Jin Ling looked incredulously at the disappearing silhouette of Gu Changsheng, her eyes welling up with tears. She thought she was doomed…

Sir!

Jin Ling knocked her head on the ground three more times before she was the first to stand up, “Let’s continue washing up. After dinner, we still have unfinished training.”

“Alright, alright…”

Laughter and chatter returned to the dormitory of the Female Army. With such a leader, they could definitely feel at ease…

When Gu Changsheng returned, Dong Lei had already prepared a bag of medicinal herbs for Zhou Zongbao’s eyes.

“Pfft!” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the sight of his unusually symmetrical panda eyes.

Hearing the laughter, Zhou Zongbao angrily ripped off the herb bags from his eyes and pointed at her with gritted teeth, “You’re still laughing! You have the nerve to laugh! … Where’s my Xiao Qiu?”

Gu Changsheng glanced at the extremely frustrated Zhou Zongbao, then looked towards Zhou Mu.

Zhou Mu gave her a wink, and Gu Changsheng immediately realized.

Alright! Clearly, having Han Qiu means having the world on my side!

Zhou Zongbao also had a caring heart, a prince in such a plight was still able to suppress his anger for Han Qiu’s sake.

His affection is commendable…

“Xiao Leizi, go to Han Qiu’s dormitory and summon her here,” Gu Changsheng didn’t hesitate and immediately instructed Dong Lei to find Han Qiu.

If Han Qiu didn’t turn up soon, Zhou Zongbao was about to explode.

“You better use the herbal bags first, or if Han Qiu sees you like this, she’ll definitely turn around and leave,” Gu Changsheng kindly picked up the herb bag he had thrown aside and handed it to him.

“You dare to speak!” Zhou Zongbao remained visibly annoyed, yet he still reached out and took it from her, applying it to his eyes.

Gu Changsheng watched him cautiously applying the herbs and couldn’t help but shake her head and chuckle.

They say a woman dresses for the one she loves, well it goes both ways, a man also wants to present his best self to his beloved.

Zhou Mu casually took Gu Changsheng’s hand, and with a shared understanding, they smiled at each other.

Zhou Zongbao glared at them while applying the herb bags, seeing their sweetness and thinking of his own Xiao Qiu, he felt an intense jealousy.

“You two stop flaunting your love. Since I’ve already said I won’t stop you, I really won’t,” Zhou Zongbao adjusted the angle of the herb bags, and continued spitefully, “Though I won’t stop you, I can’t guarantee the Imperial Brother won’t try to interfere. Just wait for him to trip you up, huh!”

He definitely would take extra care of his clueless Imperial Brother to make sure the obstacles were sufficiently set to soothe his anger today!

How frustrating!

Soon, Dong Lei brought Xiao Cui into the room.

Seeing them bow, Gu Changsheng suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly asked, “Where is Han Qiu? Didn’t I ask you to bring Han Qiu here?”

What’s the use of bringing Xiao Cui? Xiao Cui isn’t Zhou Zongbao’s favorite!

“My lady, Han Qiu isn’t here,” Xiao Cui started to explain.

Zhou Zongbao immediately stood up anxiously.

Before he could speak, Gu Changsheng urgently asked, “Han Qiu isn’t here? Didn’t she come back last night?”

“She came back, packed her things and then left,” Xiao Cui looked up blankly at Gu Changsheng, “Wasn’t it you, my lady who said you hadn’t seen the Young Master for many days and were worried, and ordered her to go find someone?”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng felt thunder rolling in her head, booming so loud that she became dazed.

“Gu Changsheng, you dared to deceive me!” The next moment, Zhou Zongbao roared red-eyed, “Xiao Qiu, she… she…”

“I didn’t…” Gu Changsheng was utterly innocent.

“You still dare to argue! This morning, you said to let Xiao Qiu go find your son for you. I didn’t think you’d really dare do it! You clearly knew I was searching for her to explain!” Zhou Zongbao was already on the edge of losing control, sensing the situation could spiral out of control at any moment.

Gu Changsheng felt so wronged, she merely mentioned it offhandedly, how could she have guessed Han Qiu would be so in tune with her and actually go do it?

Han Qiu, really a master at passing the buck! She might have been doomed by it!
