Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 430: Chapter 294: The Anxious Prince Mu Chapter 430: Chapter 294: The Anxious Prince Mu Watching the man she fancied hitting on another girl, she even nonchalantly urged him to go faster!

At this, Gu Changsheng could only ask one question, “Who else?”

Gu Changsheng, eyes bright with thought, slowly walked down the winding stairs, feeling much more relaxed than when he had arrived.

Yuan Bao was wide-eyed and tongue-tied as he watched the red figure disappear at the stairwell, disbelief written all over his face.

“Master, Lady Changsheng has already left?”

What happened to the misunderstandings? What happened to the schemes? Why is Lady Changsheng not playing by the rules?

Zhou Mu’s facial expression looked a bit off at that moment. This woman! What was he supposed to say about her?

Does she really not mind at all?

Even though she knew he was putting on a show with Huo Shuixian, shouldn’t she show some reaction?

Still playing the loving couple!

Zhou Mu felt somewhat hurt at that moment!

He suddenly felt it might be better to avoid seeing her at all! After seeing her, it was just more distressing!

This woman always had the knack to easily provoke his anger!

Yuan Bao, blinking his large eyes and looking at his master’s grim expression, was completely puzzled. Adhering to his principle of asking when in doubt, Yuan Bao straightforwardly asked, “Master, Lady Changsheng is neither angry nor misunderstanding, why are you the one getting angry here?”

Yuan Bao felt that Lady Changsheng was indeed perceptive; even though she knew nothing, her mind was as clear as a mirror!

His master and Miss Huo genuinely had nothing going on. If there was really something, not only would Lady Changsheng lose her temper, Yuan Bao would be the first to disagree!

So what if she’s beautiful? What good does being beautiful do?

As ruthless in mind as a viper, just like Lady Changsheng said, a stark manipulative b****!

Even if his master were blind, he wouldn’t fancy her, not at all!

You didn’t see the way my master coped with Miss Huo, that face full of restraint! Only Miss Huo, being the involved party, sees it as natural!

Yuan Bao felt it galling; Miss Huo should really observe how his master interacts with Lady Changsheng!

That’s the real lovey-dovey! It’s unbearable to watch!

“If she’s not angry, not misunderstanding, it’s because she doesn’t care; should I be happy about that?” Zhou Mu, his face dark, glanced at Yuan Bao next to him and then turned his gaze back to the relaxed figure in red heading toward the tent downstairs, his eyes filled with indulgence and affection…

“Uh…” Yuan Bao was momentarily stunned, tugging at the corner of his mouth, “Master, Lady Changsheng isn’t angry or misunderstanding because she knows you and Miss Huo are clear and have no romantic involvement; that’s trust, so how did it become not caring?”

Yuan Bao knew he was not the sharpest, but his master’s intelligence was beyond doubt!

How could even he understand something that his master couldn’t?

This doesn’t make sense!

“Even if she knows I’m acting, when I’m getting along with Huo Shuixian’morally,’ shouldn’t she show some reaction?” Zhou Mu, only turning back after the red figure downstairs had changed and ducked back into the tent, continued with a sullen face, “At the very least, she should advise me to keep a distance from Huo Shuixian, not to overdo it, right?”

“Seeing her so calm and unconcerned, does it look like she cares about me?”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao tilted his head in thought, then couldn’t help nodding, “Master, you do make some sense!”

Lady Changsheng really acted like she didn’t care!

“Not only is she not jealous, she even told me to get cozy with Huo Shuixian. What on earth is she planning?” Zhou Mu, his thoughts tumbling like a tempest about that woman’s indifferent and serene demeanor, grew increasingly dark in expression.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao immediately felt a surge of empathy and nodded, “Master, you have a point! Yuan Bao also thinks Lady Changsheng’s reaction is too peculiar!”

“Considering Lady Changsheng’s imposing manner, she is typically the type to prefer broken jade over intact pottery, not settling for mediocrity! Her acting this way is too abnormal; it must be, just as Master said, that she has ulterior motives!”

In the tent, observing Tan Nv, Gu Changsheng suddenly sneezed and quickly turned aside, muttering resentfully, “Who’s the bold one speaking ill of me behind my back?”

Dammit, don’t let her catch them, because if she does, she’ll make them regret it!

What Gu Changsheng didn’t know was that the ones talking behind her back were right in her own house! She had ordered everyone to go home, yet they hadn’t left…

At the top of the Book Tower, His Highness Prince Mu and his servant were still fretting…

“Master, Lady Changsheng is a very beauty-loving person. When she built this mansion, she boasted that she wanted a real grand Hua Mansion to gather all the handsome men, a place to keep her lovers…” Yuan Bao, observing his master’s increasingly gloomy expression, eventually trailed off.

Godfather! Please don’t let his ill-boding words come true!

Actually, Lady Changsheng’s real intent might be that if her master really found someone else, she could be free as a bird and happily keep her handsome men, right?

Yuan Bao pondered a bit and inevitably nodded.

This kind of thing, laid on others, is entirely baseless, but for an oddball like Lady Changsheng, she really might do it!

Thinking this, Yuan Bao felt inwardly distressed!

The involuntary wail from the depths of her heart, Lady Changsheng, how could you do this! His lordship was deeply devoted to her, yet she constantly thought about leaving him for someone else, what kind of situation was this?

Yuan Bao couldn’t help but feel suffocated on behalf of his own master!

“Am I not beautiful enough?” Zhou Mu’s face darkened as he slowly spoke, “In this world, there’s only one person who can be compared to me, and he’s right under my watchful eyes!” “Even Yue Xilou is not in her good graces, do you think there are many who could please her?”

Hearing this, Yuan Bao thought for a moment and quickly nodded, “That’s right, Yue Xilou and you each have your own merits, already the most strikingly handsome men in the world, Lady Changsheng is ignoring the pearl before her eyes, it makes no sense to look for lesser replacements! Yuan Bao thought too much!”

Being constantly exposed to beauties like Yue Xilou and her own master, Lady Changsheng’s taste had become exceedingly sophisticated, afraid that no other handsome man in the world could catch her eye now!

This point is dismissed!

“What exactly is Lady Changsheng trying to calculate?” Yuan Bao was puzzled after denying his own previous thoughts, his chubby baby face all crumpled up like bun pleats.

Zhou Mu gazed at the brightly lit tents below, his eyebrows tightly furrowed.

He didn’t know either! If he did, he wouldn’t be so gloomy!

If it was said that his Changsheng had no feelings for him at all, Zhou Mu would never believe it!

But her indifferent and aloof reaction left him feeling lost!

He began to doubt his place in her heart, whether it truly mirrored her place in his own heart…

No! He didn’t dare hope for it to be the same, just a fraction would be enough!

But even that fraction, he now began to feel uncertain about…

The master and servant, unable to figure it out, had no choice but to seek help from a third person!

As the saying goes, three cobblers surpass Zhuge Liang, even Zhou Mu, who had never been stumped by major military affairs, asked for external help for the first time!

Under his master’s Great Summoning Technique, San Cunding, looking pale, emerged from the shadows, his mouth twitching uncontrollably…

He finally understood the difficulty Ning Er and Kun Nu faced, being a Secret Hidden Guard summoned to serve for amusement and as a think-tank was indeed a sorrowful matter!

When Ning Er and Kun Nu complained to him, he really shouldn’t have taken joy in their misfortune!

The retribution came too quickly, as he too was summoned…

“Speak, what do you think?” Zhou Mu, with a furrowed brow, looked towards the third person for a solution.

Hearing this, San Cunding grimaced, lifted his head, and gestured towards his own height, a low raspy voice like grinding stones started, “Lord, look at the height of your subordinate, I’ve lived most of my life with everything but a woman’s favor! The only women I’ve been close to have been my deceased mother, and there’s been no one else!”

“Lord, don’t you find it bizarre to ask your subordinate about Lady Changsheng’s thoughts?”

Heaven knows, he truly did not know!

Women were basically immune to him, how could he know their thoughts?

Zhou Mu frowned and glared at San Cunding, who was barely up to his waist, disapprovingly, “Useless!”

The disapproved San Cunding sheepishly touched his nose, this height, given by his parents, was it his fault?

He was just being vented on, right?

“Lord, while I may not understand women, I have heard some sayings, would you like to hear them?” San Cunding, feeling disapproved, had no choice but to try to show his usefulness, hastily speaking in a mysterious tone.

“Speak!” Zhou Mu looked down at him with a cold tone.

“A woman’s heart is an ocean’s needle, don’t guess her thoughts, you won’t understand no matter how much you guess!” San Cunding quickly added, “This was said by Ning Er, saying it was from Lady Changsheng! There’s also another phrase, ‘better to be confused’!”

San Cunding felt that these phrases, applied here, couldn’t be more appropriate!

Zhou Mu immediately glared in response.

Yuan Bao’s expression mirrored his master’s!

San Cunding, being glared at, glumly touched his nose, had he said something wrong? That was clearly stated by Lady Changsheng!

Even if it was wrong, it would be Lady Changsheng’s fault, wouldn’t it?

He was innocent, but Zhou Mu clearly didn’t think so, in his heart, his Changsheng could never be wrong; others were always the ones at fault!

Suddenly, San Cunding slapped his forehead, excitedly bouncing, “Lord, I just remembered, it’s said in plays that men and women in love are most vulnerable to losses, if you ask me, you are just overthinking! Lady Changsheng is not a fickle person! If she didn’t care about you, she probably wouldn’t even spare you a sideways glance, let alone allow your embraces!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu’s brows slightly relaxed, then he said, “Since it’s common for both men and women, why am I the one feeling insecure while she shows no reaction at all?”

“Uh…”

Yuan Bao and San Cunding choked upon hearing this…

His lord, overcome with insecurity, was stuck in a rut, wasn’t he?

How were they supposed to respond to that?
