Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 507: Chapter 365: In a Coma for 3 Days

Little Meat Bun wore a face full of grievance. He clearly wanted to comfort his own Lion Tiger, so how had it backfired?

”Haha... You haven’t said anything wrong... Haha... I’m dying with laughter!”

Not until Yue Xilou’s figure disappeared did Borjigin Nian begin to laugh, her laughter growing louder and louder until it was convulsive.

Little Meat Bun, Gu Ze, watched her laugh uncontrollably, his face a picture of puzzlement.

”All right! Everyone, out. Changsheng’s beloved daughter needs peace and quiet to rest so she can wake up sooner!” Mr. Ban Shan spoke with a stern face.

”Yes!” Upon hearing his words, the crowd responded in unison and began to file out.

They all held a considerable amount of respect for Mr. Ban Shan and did not have the courage to defy the words of such a respected elder.

”Aunt Nian, what about me?” Little Meat Bun clung to Borjigin Nian as she was about to leave, blinking his innocent large eyes as he asked.

He had nothing to do now! His grandfather was always with his mother, and no one was there to teach him his letters...

Borjigin Nian glanced at him, raising her eyebrows in amusement as she replied, ”You should go and cajole your Lion Tiger. Who knows into what state he has been aggravated by your antics!”

”Uh... okay...” Despite not knowing what exactly he had done to anger his Lion Tiger, Little Meat Bun obediently agreed, then reluctantly glanced over at his sleeping mother on the bed, walking towards the door with frequent backward glances...

Grandfather would not allow him to stay here, saying he would disturb his mother’s sleep... But he really wanted to stay by his mother’s side...

”Ah! Little Meat Bun, wait for me, Aunt Nian will go with you!” Borjigin Nian suddenly realized she couldn’t miss the opportunity to blatantly admire a beauty, and immediately caught up with him.

Although Yue Xilou was a little temperamental, he was truly devastatingly handsome!

If only he didn’t have someone in his heart... marrying him as a prince consort wouldn’t be too bad!

”Little Meat Bun, your Lion Tiger truly has a violent temper, always quick to fight and rage!” As she led Little Meat Bun forward, Borjigin Nian couldn’t help but complain.

”Not true!” Little Meat Bun, Gu Ze, immediately retorted upon hearing this, ”My Peacock, Lion, and Tiger isn’t usually like this...”

”Then what is your Lion Tiger usually like?” Borjigin Nian looked down at him and asked.

”My Lion Tiger doesn’t usually shout about fighting and killing!” Little Meat Bun replied indignantly.

”Then do tell, how does he usually act?”

”My Lion Tiger usually just fights and kills directly! He doesn’t even bother to shout!” Little Meat Bun declared with his little neck erect, looking extremely self-assured.

Borjigin Nian: ”...”

Alright then! She had misunderstood!

It appeared she had thought too highly of others; she thought shouting about fighting and killing was already bad, but actually, there was worse!

”My Lion Tiger is a really good person, very fond of looking beautiful, dressing himself up nicely every day. As long as you don’t anger him, he is really easy to talk to, and very accommodating... Even though he is a bit strict with me usually, he really dotes on me a lot, giving me all kinds of treasures...” Seeing Borjigin Nian seemed quite interested in his Lion Tiger, Little Meat Bun quickly started listing the good points of his family’s Lion Tiger, counting on his fingers.

Mother said that Peacock, Lion, and Tiger wasn’t getting any younger, and it was time to clear the inventory!

If they don’t offload him soon, he’d become a golden leftover man!

That wouldn’t be good!

Little Meat Bun looked at Borjigin Nian in front of him, smiling like a little cat that got the cream, thinking Aunt Nian would be just right—beautiful and easy to talk to...

Borjigin Nian listened, her mouth twitching, full of disbelief, ”Are you sure the one you’re talking about is the same person I know?”

She had struggled to defend Xilou from the outside for so long, only for Xilou to nearly become a ruin, and the beauty she had patiently awaited, although indescribably captivating, was devoted to someone else...

With this thought, Borjigin Nian felt a little melancholy, and her mood was no longer bright...

Little Meat Bun was always keenly perceptive. Seeing her like this, he promptly stepped forward, ”Aunt Nian, you must believe me, I am really a person of good character!”

As he spoke, Little Meat Bun patted his little chest to reassure, ”My Peacock, Lion, and Tiger, really is the absolute best Lion Tiger anywhere!”

”Oh...” Borjigin Nian responded somewhat half-heartedly.

”Aunt Nian, what’s wrong? You seem a bit distracted?” Little Meat Bun tugged at her hand, his voice cautious as he asked.

Why did he feel Aunt Nian was a bit sad?

”Ah?” Borjigin Nian snapped back to reality upon hearing this, forcing a cheerful tone, ”I’ve got something on my mind. You go find your master by yourself!”

Without waiting for Little Meat Bun’s response, she hastily ran toward Cool Breeze Tower.

She needed time to be alone!

Why was it that when she finally met a man who was flawlessly handsome and beyond criticism, he belonged to someone else?

Thinking of the moment Yue Xilou tossed the short crossbow before her, stating his choice with an indifferent air, Borjigin Nian suddenly felt a pain in her heart!

She adored handsome men, but...

What could she offer to drive away that someone he would trade his life to have?

Borjigin Nian felt she had gone mad, trapped in a whirlpool of struggle, unable to break free!

...

By evening, Gu Changsheng had shown no signs of awakening, which greatly alarmed everyone at the Gu Residence.

The doctor was called over to examine him numerous times, but the person on the bed continued to sleep peacefully, with no sign of movement!

”What do we do? It has already been a day and a night, why hasn’t Lady Changsheng woken up?” Dong Lei anxiously paced in circles outside the door, ”Without eating or drinking, how can this be good?”

”The doctors all say that Lady Changsheng is unharmed, but her continuous unconsciousness is indeed not a solution!” Si Xi also wore a face full of worry.

”Now what do we do? If the lord falls ill, I cannot shirk the blame even if I died a hundred times. How should I explain this to His Lordship?” Ning Er stood aside, his face pale as ash; at this moment, there was no thought of hiding his presence!

The massive figure of Kun Nu stood by the door like a small mountain, his face dark and grim.

”Why not go and notify His Lordship? He must have a way to awaken Lady Changsheng!” Si Xi spoke with a determined face.

Hiding Lady Changsheng’s condition was already a grave sin, and if something were to happen, even if their lord did not punish them, they would not be able to face themselves!

”That’s out of the question!”

As the others exchanged glances, about to make a decision, Zhou Zongbao stepped out from the side, his face solemn, and for the first time, he spoke with unprecedented seriousness, ”Crown Prince Chen is still in the city; no one must disturb Zhou Mu, or do not blame me for being ruthless!”

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly bowed respectfully in agreement.

His Highness Prince Bao could be easy-going at times, but once he became serious, there was no room for negotiation!

Of course, he was mostly informal, and serious moments were few and far between!

But this did not mean that he was easy to talk to!

When Prince Bao becomes angry, it is more terrifying than the Emperor’s wrath! They could not bear such consequences!

”Your Highness Prince Bao, but Lady Changsheng she...” Si Xi looked anxiously toward the room...

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zongbao also looked worriedly into the room, his noble face showing a hint of guilt, ”After all, it is our Zhou Family who has failed her...”

Zhou Mu’s feelings for Gu Changsheng were not unknown to him.

But what could be done?

Being part of the Imperial Family, who could truly be free?

Zhou Mu’s choice of Mandated Noble Lady Huo Shuixian over Gu Changsheng was for the sake of the thousand-year foundation of Great Zhou! No matter what, he could only agree to this!

The signs of great chaos under heaven had already emerged, and Zhou Zongbao was very clear about the true intentions behind Crown Prince Chen Sima Changhao’s visit to Great Zhou!

He who owns the Female Star of the Occupation Room owns the world! This was undoubtedly an enormous and fatal temptation!

From the Four Kingdoms’ Royal Family, who would not be moved?

At this time, if Zhou Mu made any slight mistake, Great Zhou would become the target of public criticism!

”If anyone dares to act of their own accord and disturb Zhou Mu’s peace of mind, I will behead them without mercy!” Zhou Zongbao left these cold words behind as he turned away fiercely.

Right now, he only needed Gu Changsheng to awaken, then he would still have a chance to compensate her!

Despite everyone’s concerns, Gu Changsheng remained in a deep slumber, motionless.

As the sun rose and set, another day passed by; Gu Changsheng had been unconscious for three days now, and the people in the residence became increasingly worried and tense, wrapping the entire Gu Residence in a blanket of low pressure!

”Yue Xilou, you’ve been awake for a day or two now, eating and sleeping well—why hasn’t she woken up yet?” Borjigin Nian looked anxiously at the tranquil Gu Changsheng, her eyes filled with urgency.

Yue Xilou, standing beside her, gave the Gu Changsheng laying on the bed an indifferent glance, ”Overate, sleeping it off still counts!”

After consuming so much of his Inner Strength, how could she wake up so quickly?

In this world, there’s no such thing as a free lunch!

”Overate your big ghost head! You’re still pining for that bit of Inner Strength!” Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian immediately glared and roared, ”Gu Changsheng has been lying there, not eating or drinking—don’t you worry at all? What happened to your unhesitating determination to protect her and face death just then? I was so moved I couldn’t bear to harm you, and now you won’t even try to save her!”

”I should have shot you dead with one arrow back then, so I wouldn’t have to listen to your cold remarks!”

Upon hearing this, Yue Xilou’s expression also soured, ”Northern Mongolian Princess! Don’t think you can be disrespectful in front of the Tower Master just because of your princess identity! If you provoke me, not even Zhou Mu can protect you!”

Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian became even angrier, her emotions hovering on the edge of collapse after two days of anxiety and worry, and immediately pounced toward Yue Xilou.

”Alright then! You’re the mighty one, the impressive one, come at me! If I’m afraid of you, I’ll take your surname!”

Women from Northern Mongolia were known for being fierce and headstrong, and now that she had been provoked, her rage burst forth unabashedly.

Facing Borjigin Nian charging at him like a shrew, Yue Xilou was stunned.

He had only intended to scare this lawless little girl who always talked back at him, never expecting her to actually throw a tantrum!

Yue Xilou, who was always revered for his ethereal beauty and seemed above worldly affairs, was a bit overwhelmed!

Although he was surrounded by women, which of them didn’t treat him with the utmost respect? Someone like Gu Changsheng who didn’t care much for him was already an exception, let alone someone like Borjigin Nian who actually launched herself at him?
