Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 397: Chapter 266: The Woman Who Treated Zhou Mu as a Backup Option Chapter 397: Chapter 266: The Woman Who Treated Zhou Mu as a Backup Option “Uh…” Gu Changsheng was startled upon hearing these words and began to speak hesitantly, “Changsheng…”

Is there something wrong with her name?

Or has she become so well-known that even the people from the Northern Mongolian Royal Family have heard of her?

“Changsheng? Gu Changsheng?” Borjigin Nian’s gaze suddenly turned fervent as she looked at Gu Changsheng, as if she had found an immensely treasured possession.

Gu Changsheng felt uncomfortable under her stare and suddenly had an even worse premonition.

“Granny is asking you, are you Gu Changsheng? That Gu Changsheng?” Seeing her not answering, Borjigin Nian’s gaze turned fiery as she asked again.

That Gu Changsheng?

Could there be more than one Gu Changsheng?

Gu Changsheng felt her head swell with confusion, feeling as if everything was in complete disarray.

“Miss, my head’s a bit muddled right now. Go on chopping your bamboo; I’m just passing by and don’t mean to interfere, so please pretend you haven’t seen me!” Gu Changsheng said, massaging her forehead helplessly while heading towards Si Xi.

Si Xi, who had been hiding in the distance since seeing Borjigin Nian and had not dared to come any closer, finally appeared within Borjigin Nian’s line of sight.

Borjigin Nian quickly picked up a longsword and long whip from the ground and dragged Gu Changsheng toward Si Xi.

“Hey! Miss, like I said, I’m just passing by…” Gu Changsheng stammered out an explanation as she was dragged along.

“Shut up! Granny asks you a question, and you don’t answer. Do you think Granny will ask someone else?” Borjigin Nian glared resentfully at Gu Changsheng and then turned to Si Xi, speaking with malice, “Si Xi, you actually follow her, so that means she is indeed that Gu Changsheng, right?”

Si Xi timidly nodded his head, his face painted with a spectrum of colors.

Gu Changsheng looked back and forth between the two with suspicion and uncertainty and asked with a darkened face, “Do you two know each other?”

Really?

Damn it, she was just here to watch the excitement; she hadn’t meant to stir up trouble, had she?

This princess of the Northern Mongolian Imperial Family seemed more complicated than she appeared…

Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian rolled her eyes at Gu Changsheng and snorted coldly without replying.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng could only look at Si Xi for help.

Si Xi, catching the gaze from his lady, hurriedly nodded and subtly winked at her.

Gu Changsheng looked at Si Xi, puzzled, completely at a loss.

Damn it, what was Si Xi trying to convey with that suggestive wink?

“Gu Changsheng, we are love rivals, you know!” Borjigin Nian began to speak slowly, clearly agitated, “The master is the most beautiful man Granny has ever met, and Granny had planned, if she couldn’t find a man more beautiful than the master within two years, to take the master from her sister’s hands! But then, out of nowhere, you, Cheng Yaojin, came along! You don’t even look prettier than Granny, so why are you barging in and stealing the man Granny had her eye on for backup? You…”

“Stop!” Gu Changsheng’s headache worsened the more she listened, and she quickly raised her hand to call a halt, her eyebrows twisting into knots, “Ancestor, don’t speak a moment, let me sort this out…”

Hearing this, Borjigin Nian obediently closed her mouth and stopped speaking, huffing in irritation.

Si Xi’s head was already hanging as low as it could go.

Gu Changsheng felt like a storm was raging through her mind as she carefully contemplated Borjigin Nian’s words before carefully asking, “So, that evildoer Zhou Mu is your senior brother? You’re a Northern Mongolian princess and Di Wentian’s disciple?”

Borjigin Nian nodded proudly.

In an instant, Gu Changsheng felt the world had become incredibly chaotic.

Damn it, Di Wentian was a Liao person! It was one thing for him to have trained a Great Zhou’s War God and disciple like Zhou Mu, but to also have a Northern Mongolian princess as a disciple was another matter!

This was definitely an unorthodox way to attract talents!

Judging by Borjigin Nian’s demeanor, it seemed her relationship with Zhou Mu wasn’t too shabby.

Yet, just the year before last, Zhou Mu had led troops to war against Northern Mongolia. With such a conflicting relationship, plus the fact they were senior brother and junior sister, wasn’t that awkward?

Gu Changsheng thought it was enough to make one’s head spin!

“So, it was Zhou Mu who sent you a letter, telling you to come here in search of the number one beauty in the world?” Gu Changsheng blinked her large eyes, asking once more.

Borjigin Nian obliged by nodding again.

“So, Zhou Mu is your backup and you’re planning to go back to him if you can’t find anyone more beautiful?” Gu Changsheng asked, her eyes shining.

“Exactly!” Borjigin Nian answered every question.

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, “Miss, way to go! I admire you!”

Daring to consider Zhou Mu as a backup, surely, within the whole wide world, only this Northern Mongolian princess could do such a thing!

“But, the senior sister likes the senior brother, and Granny feels a bit torn…” Borjigin Nian spoke while shaking her head, as if making a firm decision, “But no matter, if I can’t find someone more handsome than the senior brother, even if it’s a man the senior sister fancies, Granny will boldly steal him away!”

Senior sister?

Gu Changsheng suddenly felt as if everything had gone dark!

Damn it, it turned out that the sly girl from the Huo Family was just the beginning, and now here was the sequel to deal with…

Evildoer! I am at odds with you, completely at odds!

What on earth were you thinking, luring this lovestruck princess with the Flower Peacock? What’s the purpose, huh? What exactly is it?

It’s to aggravate her, isn’t it?

Borjigin Nian has sworn to marry only the most handsome man under the heavens, and that rumored number one beauty is currently in seclusion at her estate!

Tell me, what should we do about this?

Drive the Flower Peacock out of Gu Residence? That’s absolutely out of the question; he’s both the master and nanny of our little meat bun! If we send him away, who will teach my son martial arts, who will take care of my son?

Take this lovestruck princess back home? Just thinking about it makes me want to die!

Gu Changsheng believes that even if she doesn’t tell the girl about the Flower Peacock at her place, someone else surely will!

Zhou Mu, that evildoer, went through a lot of trouble to con someone into coming here, so how could he possibly just let it go?

Just thinking about a jealous Zhou Mu gives Gu Changsheng a headache.

Damn it, am I not crystal clear and pure in my relationship with the Flower Peacock? Is this evildoer bringing another lovestruck woman here to prevent me from having an affair?

“People are in the Sanqi Formation!”

Suddenly, from not too far away, a loud cry and the rustling sounds of a bamboo forest erupted.

“It’s over! They’ve followed us here! This Bright Moon Tower is even harder to infiltrate than a dragon’s den and tiger’s lair!” Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian anxiously started pacing in circles, trying to find a way out, “Hey! Since you could accurately find Granny Me just now, you must be adept at formations, quickly lead Granny out of here!”

“Miss, that’s not how you ask people for help!” Gu Changsheng replied with a face full of deep resentment and annoyance.

“Did Granny ask you for help? Granny letting you take me out is a sign of respect for you!” Borjigin Nian retorted, hands on her hips and scolding indignantly.

Gu Changsheng slowly extended a finger and waved it in front of her, frowning as she said, “Remember, I like to call myself ‘Granny,’ and I won’t tolerate anyone being called elder than me. If you keep up with this ‘Granny’ this and ‘Granny’ that, watch out or I’ll turn you into a mute!”

She’s in a very bad mood right now, so nobody better provoke her!

“It’s none of your business what Granny…”

Before Borjigin Nian could finish the word ‘pleased,’ a silver needle was stuck in her throat. Her voice suddenly got stuck in a scream, unable to come out!

“Good girl, don’t move around, or else if the silver needle shifts, it’ll pierce your throat, and that won’t be my fault!” Gu Changsheng kindly reminded, then sat down on the ground with her head in her hands, deep in thought.

Damn! This is such a mess!

What on earth is Gu Changsheng supposed to do with Borjigin Nian?

Frightened by Gu Changsheng’s action, Borjigin Nian’s eyes were shooting fire, yet she didn’t dare to make a move.

“Lady, should we figure out a way to get out of here first?” Si Xi, seeing shadows moving closer, whispered.

Surely we can’t just wait here to be caught?

“Get out? How do we get out? Haven’t you seen that the Sanqi Formation has become the Prison Dragon Formation? I was the one who taught that move to the Flower Peacock! Right now, I’m annoyed and not in the mood to leave!” Gu Changsheng rubbed her crown painfully, her brows furrowed in distress.

Taken aback by her words, Si Xi quickly said, “But what we if get caught?”

Already in a bad mood, Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes and replied irritably, “If we get caught, we get caught. What else can we do? After all, they wouldn’t dare to execute us and hang us in the Red Light District!”

Damn it, who has she upset? Why didn’t she just go home after seeing her son? Had to be idle and come to see the excitement, and now look, trouble right?

She’s just a walking magnet for trouble!

Upon hearing this, Si Xi shamefacedly touched his nose, “Indeed …”

Borjigin Nian stood there like a petrified pillar, watching the two with a mix of shock and confusion, unable to speak, just standing there.

Gu Changsheng sat on the ground, the very picture of resignation, simply waiting for the inevitable.

Before long, the people from Bright Moon Tower searching for them arrived nearby.

The two leading were Yue Xilou’s personal maids, Ruo Qin and Ruo Shu. They exchanged a look, both slightly confused; the person who intruded on Bright Moon Tower was a woman, so how did it become three people so quickly?

Ruo Qin pointed with her longsword and sternly shouted, “Who goes there? How dare you intrude upon Bright Moon Tower!”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng slowly lifted her head, looking pale as she replied with just one word, “Me!”

“Uh…”

Seeing her face, Ruo Qin and Ruo Shu both froze for a moment, then knelt on one knee and said in unison, “We greet Lady Changsheng!”

Lady Changsheng was on good terms with their Family Head and was Young Master’s mother; she had also been of great help to Bright Moon Tower, so their bow was without hesitation.

Borjigin Nian’s eyes widened as she watched the women kneel in a circle, batting her long lashes a few times, disbelief written all over her face.

Gu Changsheng looked at the people kneeling on the ground with faint impatience and waved her hands, saying, “All of you, get up…”

As soon as Ruo Qin and Ruo Shu heard this, they stood up first, with Ruo Qin asking, “Did Lady Changsheng come to pick up Young Master? Just now, Granny Ru Hua guessed that you had sneaked into Bright Moon Tower late at night, but Young Master denied it, so how did Lady Changsheng end up trapped in the Prison Dragon Formation?”

Knowing that the Prison Dragon Formation was created by Lady Changsheng herself, Ruo Qin asked with a puzzled face.
