Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 334: Chapter 210: Guoguo’s Cunning Bitch Chapter 334: Chapter 210: Guoguo’s Cunning Bitch Yuan Bao rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

How could that be possible? If not for Miss Huo clinging to His Grace without letting go, His Grace would not have nearly been late!

She’s not here to wreck the occasion, that’s good enough. To expect her to come to give congratulations is simply a fool’s dream!

Zhou Mu glanced at Gu Changsheng for a moment and shook his head almost imperceptibly.

In that blink of an eye, Huo Shuixian had already crossed the distance from the nearby Purple Palanquin and soft sedan to stand right in front of Gu Changsheng and the others.

Gu Changsheng watched the approaching beauty in red, his heart slightly tingling.

Such a beauty should decisively be kept documented for collection, letting her out to bask in the sun is simply too much of a disaster, haven’t you seen how many have lost their souls over her?

This is Zhou Zongbao’s fault, not keeping such a beauty in his Hundred Flowers Pavilion is definitely his burden to bear!

Tsk tsk… So beautiful! Immaculately beautiful! Beautiful enough to incite the wrath of the heavens and the envy of men!

Gu Changsheng grumbled in his heart, as Huo Shuixian also looked up, but did not spare Gu Changsheng a glance.

“Oh? Brother Mu, what are you doing here?” Seeing Zhou Mu and Gu Changsheng’s intertwined fingers, Huo Shuixian’s stunning face paused, a trace of sinister light fleeting through her eyes, but she quickly pretended to be surprised as she spoke.

Zhou Mu, holding Gu Changsheng’s hand, no longer smiled. He pressed his well-defined lips together and did not answer, his eyes cold and hard.

Brother Mu? Gu Changsheng was also stunned upon hearing this and looked uncertainly at the person beside him.

What situation is this?

“Brother Mu, are you here because you are worried about my mother’s illness, and came here to invite a famous doctor? Shuixian also heard that there’s a medicine lady here with great medical skills, that’s why I hurried over,” Huo Shuixian continued innocently.

Gu Changsheng frowned slightly upon hearing her self-introduction.

The family of His Grace’s old friend is surnamed Huo! Yuan Bao’s words from last night suddenly echoed in Gu Changsheng’s ears.

“Commandery Prince was betrothed at birth, to the granddaughter of the Former Crown Prince’s Grand Tutor, a beauty without equal, Huo Shuixian from the renowned Huo Family in the capital, deep are the ties of childhood friendship with the Commandery Prince…”

Another voice echoed in Gu Changsheng’s memory, Mu Wanxuan! That hidden guard who pined for Zhou Mu!

So, this person in front of me, is the unparalleled beauty Huo Shuixian, renowned throughout the capital!

No wonder Yuan Bao warned her, it turns out to be Zhou Mu’s official fiancee, the childhood friend Huo Shuixian has arrived, wow!

Suddenly, Gu Changsheng felt somewhat annoyed, feeling as if he had inexplicably become the third party!

Hearing Huo Shuixian’s words and seeing his own hand held by Zhou Mu,

Gu Changsheng was momentarily speechless. Did Huo Shuixian really not see it, or was she feigning ignorance?

Did they look like a doctor and patient ought to?

Gu Changsheng pondered various thoughts in his mind in just a moment and then felt the hand holding his tighten, the tightness making his brow furrow slightly, “I will explain later!”

Zhou Mu looked at Gu Changsheng nervously, then turned to face Huo Shuixian with a slightly stern expression, “Why are you here? Go back now!”

Watching the two standing side by side, closely and tenderly, the already jealous Huo Shuixian’s face changed slightly and she hesitated as she spoke, “Brother Mu?”

The onlookers’ gaze shifted back and forth between the three, looking at each other in dismay.

This heavenly beautiful girl calling His Highness Prince Mu “Brother Mu” clearly shows their deep relationship.

But wasn’t it just mentioned by His Highness that his beloved was Medicine God Lady Changsheng?

Thinking this, the crowd couldn’t help but compare Gu Changsheng and Huo Shuixian…

Huo Shuixian also sized up Gu Changsheng and, seeing the standing figure of Gu Changsheng clearly, felt a tightness in her heart.

No wonder he had captivated her Brother Mu, his appearance was somewhat passable!

But when compared to her, he ultimately fell short.

Gu Changsheng just looked down from above, silent and expressionless.

“Brother Mu, I heard there’s a medicine lady named Gu Changsheng here, whose medical skills are highly praised. Could you ask her to treat my mother? Seeing my mother unconscious, I’m really worried!” Completely ignoring Gu Changsheng’s presence, Huo Shuixian held up her skirt and climbed the steps, her delicate, jade-like hands grabbing Zhou Mu’s sleeve, pleading and shaking pitifully.

Gu Changsheng glanced at the purple sleeve that was grabbed, his phoenix eyes slightly narrowing.

This act of coquetry, she truly couldn’t compare!

Indeed, the onlookers who saw her pitiful demeanor immediately showed sympathy.

A beauty harboring sorrow has always been most captivating, and Huo Shuixian was very aware of her advantages and knew well how to use them.

The two women in red stood on either side, with Zhou Mu in the middle, the three of them standing above all, suddenly drawing everyone’s gaze.

Gu Changsheng’s beauty was brazen and unrestrained, causing a faint tremor in people’s hearts, whereas Huo Shuixian’s beauty transcended the realm of beauty itself, it was so stunning it made one wish to offer up their entire fortune just to see her furrowed brows relax and her smile bloom.

“Go back!” Zhou Mu’s face grew increasingly gloomy, his voice icy as he flung out the words, his sleeve flicked lightly, and he instantly broke free from Huo Shuixian’s grasp.

Huo Shuixian stared blankly at her empty, forlorn hands, tears welling up in her eyes.

Had she escaped from her grasp once again?

Suddenly, Huo Shuixian’s face turned towards Gu Changsheng, her gaze sharp as a torch from behind, piercing straight towards Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng was extremely perceptive, immediately lifting his head and catching the fleeting harshness in Huo Shuixian’s eyes.

A trace of a barely visible mischievous smile hooked at the corner of Gu Changsheng’s mouth.

Interesting!

It seems that this Miss Huo is not a harmless White Lotus at all!

“Are you the Medicine Lady Changsheng?” Concealing her own gaze, Huo Shuixian ignored Zhou Mu’s dismissive words and turned her face towards Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng cooperatively nodded, she was indeed Gu Changsheng, her name unchanged whether seated or standing!

“Lady Changsheng, could you help treat my mother? She has been unconscious all night, and Shuixian is very worried,” Huo Shuixian said while lifting her sleeve to partially cover her face.

This time, however, Gu Changsheng did not respond. She was celebrating the joy of moving into her new residence, with thousands blocking the streets and many guests still waiting. Now, to have her, the host, leave to treat someone? Ridiculous, are they blind?

Zhou Mu’s face was already looking very unpleasant, taking Gu Changsheng by the hand and moving aside by the steps, distancing themselves from Huo Shuixian.

“Lady Changsheng, are you refusing? But they say you are a doctor. Isn’t it a doctor’s duty to rush to the aid of those in urgent need and to save lives and heal wounds?” Huo Shuixian’s eyes, so bewitching they ensnared the hearts of all, slowly welled up with tears, moving the compassion of onlookers.

“I beg Lady Changsheng to save my mother, seeing her suffer so terribly pains my heart as though it were being cut with a knife. I hope Lady Changsheng, with your compassionate doctor’s heart, will come to the rescue,” Huo Shuixian, picking up on the compassion radiating from those around her, let a cold sneer flit across her downturned face.

Zhou Mu’s complexion had turned utterly black, a cold air overflowing from him.

“Please, Lady Changsheng, save my mother!” as Huo Shuixian slightly bowed her willowy body, bending forward to make a bow, her actions were unspeakably graceful and dignified.

The onlooking crowd seeing this exchanged glances.

“This behavior and deportment, you can tell she comes from a distinguished family, a truly innocent and filial noble lady.”

“If I’m not mistaken, she must be the granddaughter of the Former Crown Prince’s Grand Tutor, Miss Huo of the Huo Family. Look at her worried expression, it really invokes sympathy.”

“Who would say otherwise, she has put aside her status to plead like this. If Lady Changsheng refuses to see the patient, it would truly be a loss of a doctor’s compassionate heart.”

“Indeed, not only is she beautiful but also supremely filial, Lady Changsheng should agree, shouldn’t she?”

“…”

Gu Changsheng, listening to the murmurs around him, curved his lips slightly.

This is not a harmless White Lotus at all, but clearly a blatant schemer!

A few words had moved the compassion of the crowd, entirely polishing her reputation as pure and filial, and putting him, Gu Changsheng, in a dilemma!

Seeing their young mistress kneeling, Ru Yu, sensing what was required, immediately knelt at the foot of the steps.

“Lady Changsheng, considering my young mistress’s sincere filial piety, please, Lady Changsheng, save our Madam!”

“We beg Lady Changsheng to lend a hand!” The house servants, seeing the opportunity, also knelt down.

The scene suddenly fell into a strange stillness.

Huo Shuixian bowed and knelt in respect, her family and servants knelt all around, and Gu Changsheng stood above on the steps, still silent.

“Fie! Why is this young lady so aggressive?” Uncle Song, holding Little Meat Bun, stepped forward, his face reddening with anger.

Seeing that the speaker was a housekeeper, Huo Shuixian did not even deign to respond, bending lower, her voice even more pitiful, “A doctor’s heart of compassion, didn’t Lady Changsheng admonish other doctors with The Great Healer’s Way just the other day? Can Lady Changsheng really bear to watch a patient suffer without feeling moved? Since Lady Changsheng can speak of The Great Healer’s Way, then surely you are a doctor of noble character, concerned with the patients’ needs. How could Lady Changsheng refuse Shuixian’s request? Lady Changsheng, famed as Medicine God, is admired far and wide, surely a role model for doctors everywhere, not one to ignore a patient’s suffering, right?”

Huo Shuixian’s voice was neither loud nor soft but resonated clearly, reaching the ears of the surrounding crowd distinctly.

Gu Changsheng looked down at Zhou Mu, letting out an almost imperceptible sigh.

This Huo Shuixian could truly be considered a character, even remembering clearly The Great Healer’s Way she had spoken of in the hall, capable of stretching and contracting, each phrase loaded with hidden blades, each line pushing him into a corner.

If she were to aid, it was taken for granted, the duty of a doctor! If she were not to aid, then she would be labeled unkind in her medical duty, fishing for fame under false pretences!

“Scoundrel! Humph!”

Uncle Song, furious, puffed out his cheeks and glared, and Little Meat Bun, after giving Huo Shuixian a glance, dismissively threw out that remark, no longer regarding her.

Gu Changsheng, amused, glanced at his own beloved son, then grabbed hold of Zhou Mu, who was clearly about to erupt, “They are here for me, why are you so nervous? Do you feel guilty of something?”

Zhou Mu gave her a look, and helplessly shook his head. If she truly suspected him, she wouldn’t have spoken like this. Realizing this, Zhou Mu suddenly relaxed, and his complexion immediately improved.
