Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 401: Chapter 270 The Attentive Miss Huo Chapter 401: Chapter 270 The Attentive Miss Huo Gu Changsheng watched Borjigin Nian being helped up like a tame kitten by Si Xi and couldn’t help but purse his lips into another smile.

Although Borjigin Nian did not have the rough physique and appearance of the Northern Mongolian People, she had a tall frame, surpassing Gu Changsheng’s nearly one meter seventy height by a bit. Xiao Si Xi helping her looked quite shorter by comparison.

Gu Changsheng shook his head with a smile, watching as Si Xi, helpless to do otherwise, changed from supporting to carrying her towards the door. Those who practiced martial arts always had much more strength than others, and Si Xi was no exception. Gu Changsheng, of course, wasn’t worried that his slight stature would drop Borjigin Nian.

Watching the two disappear outside the door, Gu Changsheng sat by the bed leisurely drying his long hair.

In fact, what Dong Lei’s mother said wasn’t wrong; in life, one couldn’t do without a few close friends and one or two bosom friends.

Behavioral scientist Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs tells us that physiological needs, safety needs, and social needs are the most basic needs of living!

Gu Changsheng mockingly curled his lips. Despite having many family members, not many truly considered him a friend.

Superiority and inferiority were an insurmountable gulf! Even if he tried his best to blur the concept of this gulf, those people in his family would never forget it.

Actually, putting aside Borjigin Nian’s identity as the Northern Mongolian Princess, Gu Changsheng thought she might make a pretty good friend.

At the very least, she was straightforward and didn’t put on airs!

He liked that about her!

After letting his thoughts wander for a while, Gu Changsheng, seeing that his hair was almost dry, stopped pondering and dove onto the soft pillows, wrapping himself with the blanket to meet the Duke of Zhou in dreams.

When Gu Changsheng went to the Cool Breeze Bright Moon Tower, it was during the Mao Hour, and after all the ruckus, it had become the Hai Hour.

While he slept soundly and carefree, hugging the blanket, several others were sleepless.

Prince Mu’s Mansion, Lansheng Courtyard’s study.

Zhou Mu, with a coldness radiating from him, looked down at the guard kneeling before him to report. His deep black eyes were unfathomable, and his voice was ice-cold as he said, “Who did Junior Sister Nian encounter at Bright Moon Tower?”

He must have heard wrong! That woman! That woman dared to visit a brothel!

Felling the chilling pressure from his lord, the guard was sweating profusely, cowering on the ground, stammering, yet trying to steady his voice as he replied, “Reporting to my lord, Princess Nian was trapped in the Jade Bamboo Forest and encountered… encountered Lady Changsheng!”

He had clearly already said it once, yet his lord refused to believe it, stubbornly wanting him to repeat it!

No matter how many times he repeated it, Princess Nian encountered Lady Changsheng in the brothel, and it couldn’t be changed to someone else!

An eerie silence fell in the study for a moment, the atmosphere so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

Seeing no response for a long time, the guard looked towards Eunuch Yuan Bao for help, praying silently: Eunuch Yuan Bao, save me!

At this moment, Yuan Bao wasn’t faring much better than the guard on the ground, sweating bullets inside.

Thoughts raced through his mind–why on earth did Lady Changsheng go to a brothel? She was a young gentlewoman; could she be any more rebellious or give his lord any more reason to be angry?

Didn’t he see his lord’s face was about to turn purple with rage?

They wouldn’t be the unfortunate ones his lord vented his anger on, would they? Yuan Bao’s eyes fixated on the study’s doorway, prepared to flee at any moment amidst the relentless perspiration.

Zhou Mu, his demeanor turning icy, looked down, his face unfathomable, making it impossible to guess what was on his mind.

It took a while, but the feared venting of anger didn’t come; instead, a relieved sigh from his lord was heard.

“My lord?” Yuan Bao was instantly startled, looking up at his now composed lord, utterly baffled–had his lord’s anger been extinguished by Lady Changsheng so swiftly?

“Thank heavens she didn’t go to a little servant house!” Zhou Mu said, turning to look out the window, “Yuan Bao, remember to send my regards to those serving at the Gu Residence later! Such a big matter, and they dared to conceal it and not report it, becoming more capable indeed!”

“Yes!” Yuan Bao complied, thinking that if it were up to him, he too would have kept it a secret.

Lady Changsheng visiting a brothel–his lord would surely be angry once he found out. How could the one reporting expect any good to come of it?

Thinking of the little servant house that his lord mentioned, Yuan Bao couldn’t help but raise his head to wipe off sweat. Ah, the little servant house–he clearly remembered Lady Changsheng once threatening to sell his lord there…

If his lord and Lady Changsheng were to meet at a little servant house…

Cough cough! Yuan Bao coughed twice to cover his thoughts, retracting the scenarios that had played out in his mind.
