Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 523: Chapter 380: Hell Has No Gates, You Came on Your Own Accord

Gu Changsheng gave Yhan Qinrui a sidelong glance and flicked his ten fingers!

In just an instant, the old witch’s head twisted to one side, motionless and silent!

”Nanny!” Yhan Qinrui cried out in alarm, her liver and gall shaking as she slumped to the ground!

Gu Changsheng waved his hand in disgust and, instantly, the old witch’s body was tossed aside, unmoving and utterly lifeless!

Gu Changsheng didn’t even spare a glance, and turned to walk up the steps!

She disliked killing people! She liked even less the touch of the cool and lifeless!

She liked saving lives, and cherished the feeling of people jumping around lively after her treatment!

Right now, her mood was utterly foul!

”Scary!”

”Murder... murder!”

”Lady... Lady Changsheng! She really killed someone!”

”God... Godfather! A dead person!”

”...”

The onlookers stared at the fallen old woman, and it took a good while for them to react with terror!

There had been a murder! Their Medicine God Lady Changsheng had truly killed someone!

Previously, although Lady Changsheng was fierce, she had always been healing the world and had never harmed anyone’s life!

But this time, she had really taken action and killed someone!

At this moment, the surrounding citizens panicked! Looking at the corpse on the ground, they suddenly felt a trace of fear!

”Is that the famous Medicine God Lady Changsheng known throughout the Four Kingdoms?” a richly dressed young master asked softly, tilting his head.

”To His Highness’ query, indeed it is!” a guard by his side replied, bowing.

The richly dressed young master nodded with a smile, his eyes full of appreciation as he spoke, ”Worthy of the woman whom Zhou Mu has taken fancy to. She’s breathtakingly beautiful, possesses a natural aura, and decisively ruthless in killing, what a pity... after all, she is the one who was cast aside. Let’s go!”

”Yes, Your Highness!”

Having seen this, the two turned and left!

Meanwhile, Xiao Gu Ze watched his mother, who exuded an intimidating aura, and carefully reached out to touch her icy hand, speaking in a soft and tender voice, ”Mother... Mother, don’t be angry...”

Gu Changsheng suddenly turned around and, seeing her concerned son, her lips curved slightly, ”My child is good, Mother is not angry!”

Below, Yhan Qinrui and her group were already weeping around the old witch’s body, forming a mournful huddle!

The onlookers looked on, unease and fear written all over their faces!

Gu Changsheng felt a tremor in her heart as she saw the fear in their eyes.

Committing murder in front of the crowd, her reputation for healing the world was destroyed in an instant!

But the old witch had to be eliminated!

She definitely still had Xiao Gu Ze’s birth information in her possession, Gu Changsheng couldn’t allow this threat to her and her son’s existence in the world!

”I am human, ultimately not a deity! I can heal the world, treat countless lives with my generosity, but I cannot tolerate any harm to me and my family,” Gu Changsheng said to the people all around, her voice resounding firmly, ”The world can fear me, dread me, but never deceive me!”

Upon hearing her words, the onlookers immediately bowed their heads, concealing the fear in their eyes.

Indeed! Medicine God Lady Changsheng is also human!

Isn’t anyone entitled to fight back when harmed?

Just because she is Medicine God Lady Changsheng, it doesn’t mean she can be treated as a pushover!

Lying in pain on her nanny’s corpse, Yhan Qinrui suddenly looked up, her face twisted with malice as she exclaimed fiercely, ”By what right? By what right do you kill someone in the street?”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng scoffed, looking down at the disheveled Yhan Qinrui with disdain in her eyes, ”By what right? By the right that I am Gu Changsheng! By the right that I have saved countless lives with my own power!”

”If I can save lives, of course I can take them! Yhan Qinrui, you know better than I do who this old woman was. A witch from Bashu, the daughter of the Minister of War herself, yet her nanny is a witch from Bashu!”

Gu Changsheng’s voice deepened as she continued, ”It was bad enough you harbored a witch at your side, but you even dared to cast the Hateful Victory Curse on me, causing me to fall unconscious for six days, leaving the doctors of Liuzhou City completely helpless! Yhan Qinrui, the curse was cast by her, harming me. How could I let her who harmed me live, she had to die! Moreover, her death is more than deserved!”

The onlookers were instantly horrified at this revelation!

”What! A witch!”

”The Hateful Victory Curse is strictly forbidden in the Four Kingdoms, how could she!”

”No wonder! No wonder Lady Changsheng killed someone! Turns out she was a witch!”

”A scourge! To dare use such a sinister and vicious method! She deserved to be killed!”

”Deserved to be killed!”

”A public service to eliminate harm!”

”...”

The voices of condemnation and whispering around suddenly turned towards Yhan Qinrui, making her face turn ghastly pale as she knelt on the ground!

”Gu Changsheng! You spout baseless slanders! How could my nanny possibly be a witch! How could she have possibly cast the Hateful Victory Curse on you!” Faced with the condemnation from all around, Yhan Qinrui clenched her fists, trying her best to steady her spirit and defend herself.

Gu Changsheng sneered upon hearing the words. What was this called?

This was called ”won’t shed a tear until one sees the coffin” and ”one’s heart won’t die until one hits the south wall!”

”Is this enough to serve as evidence?”

Gu Changsheng turned around to retrieve the puppet that she had kicked away, only to see Zhou Zongbao with a gloomy face, walking out from the great hall, holding the puppet she had kicked!

”Bao... Your Highness Prince Bao...”

The moment Yhan Qinrui saw Zhou Zongbao, she was stunned, and even more so when she spotted the puppet in his hand, which caused her to widen her eyes in horror!

”I pay my respects to Your Highness Prince Bao, long may His Highness Prince Bao live, for thousands and thousands of years!”

”I pay my respects to Your Highness Prince Bao, long may His Highness Prince Bao live, for thousands and thousands of years!”

As soon as they heard Yhan Qinrui’s words, the onlookers quickly knelt down one after another, their calls for long life echoing endlessly!

Seeing this, Yhan Qinrui collapsed backward, drained of strength!

Your Highness Prince Bao was still there! His Highness Prince Bao had actually stayed in the Gu Residence!

With the heir apparents of the Four Kingdoms all gathered in Liuzhou City, she had thought that Prince Bao must have returned to Prince Mu’s Mansion. Little did she expect, he was still here!

At that moment, Yhan Qinrui’s heart was thrown into turmoil!

Zhou Zongbao moved next to Gu Changsheng and reached out to rub the top of Xiao Gu Ze’s head, looking coldly at the corpse on the ground with a flicker of disgust in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, ”The Hateful Victory Curse is strictly forbidden by the decree of Great Zhou. All who practice witchcraft in Bashu shall be shunned by all. Those who harm people with the Hateful Victory Curse shall be put to death by all! This individual is indeed a Bashu wizard, and the puppet engraved with Gu Changsheng’s birthday characters is ironclad evidence!”

Having said that, Zhou Zongbao raised the puppet in his hand slightly, but he covered the engraved birthday characters on top of it!

Once everyone had a clear look, Zhou Zongbao withdrew his hand and said sonorously, ”Therefore, this man deserves to die! His death is of no concern!”

As Zhou Zongbao spoke, he turned his head to look at Yhan Qinrui, ”As for the instigator of the Hateful Victory Curse, she will be punished with the same crime, and I will leave her to be dealt with by Gu Changsheng!”

Upon hearing this, Yhan Qinrui’s face turned ashen, and she collapsed onto her maid.

Gu Changsheng raised an eyebrow at this!

Well, Zhou Zongbao, with such a stern demeanor—believe it or not—really did possess quite an aura!

Completely different from his usually prodigal and unrestrained manner!

”Wow! Are you Grandpa Bao? How come you look so different? So cool!” Xiao Gu Ze looked up at Zhou Zongbao, cupping his cheeks with both hands, his eyes full of stars.

”Cough cough!” Boss Zhou heard this and immediately covered his mouth, feigning a couple of coughs.

He rarely acted so serious—wasn’t it hard on him!

What were these looks from this mother and child pair, seemingly bringing down his staged presence!

He had personally stepped forward for the sake of their reputation!

”You dare kill people in front of a child, aren’t you afraid of frightening him!” Zhou Zongbao feigned a glare at Gu Changsheng and bent down to pick up Xiao Gu Ze, ”Fighting and killing isn’t fun, Xiao Gu Ze, be good and go home with Master Bao!”

”No! I want to be with my mother!” Xiao Gu Ze struggled, kicking his legs upon hearing that.

”Be good!” Zhou Zongbao soothed him, patting his little head, then turned to Gu Changsheng, ”I’ll take this puppet to be dealt with by Tan Nv, and what happens to Yhan Qinrui will be up to you!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng smirked, watching Boss Zhou carry away his struggling Xiao Gu Ze and head towards the Medical Tower, her gaze flickering indecisively.

Damn it, why was Zhou Zongbao being so kind?

Had he not intervened, it would have been better. But with him stepping in, she could no longer hide in her own home!

Now that the Four Kingdoms’ Crown Princes were still in Liuzhou City, it was unreasonable for His Royal Highness Prince Bao of the First-Class Companion, who was clearly in Liuzhou, not to come forward and receive them!

Gu Changsheng tilted her head, feeling that Zhou Zongbao looked at her with eyes full of guilt and self-reproach!

Could it be that he had done something that wronged her?

Once Zhou Zongbao left, the crowd dared to stand up. Gu Changsheng watched his retreating figure disappear, then turned to look at the people below the steps.

Seeing her glance over, Yhan Qinrui, in a frightened state, hid into her maid’s arms, mumbling in a daze, ”Gu... Gu Changsheng... what do you want to do?”

She had now recognized the reality!

Gu Changsheng wasn’t just imposing, she had the resources to back her fearsome demeanor!

She was the expert who blew the eight gates wide open, shocking all those in front of her!

This change was something that Yhan Qinrui could not accept! The timid and humble woman from Li Mansion, who was treated like a worn-out shoe by everyone, had become so powerful! So powerful that they were all helpless against her!

She could not accept it!

”Gu Changsheng! If you dare to hurt me—I am the Minister of War’s daughter, the wife of Li Mufeng, the Marquis of Weiyuan’s Heir. Even if you have His Highness Prince Bao backing you up, you can’t harm me!” Yhan Qinrui spoke bravely, trying to remain calm, as fear consumed her, her entire body trembling!

”Oh! The Minister of War, the Marquis of Weiyuan’s Heir, I am so scared!” Gu Changsheng feigned terror, clutching her chest, before resuming a cold demeanor and saying in a deep voice, ”Hurt you? I would never do such a thing! You are thinking way too much, Madam Heir!”

Yhan Qinrui was overjoyed upon hearing this!

”I won’t hurt you! Because I want to kill you!” Gu Changsheng’s icy voice resonated once again, ”Anyone who trespasses in the Medical Hall shall face death without life! I have already warned you; come to my Medical Hall to cause trouble again, and you will be shot on the spot!”

Upon hearing this, Yhan Qinrui’s eyes darted about in fright, shaking her head in disbelief.

”Ordering someone to cast a Hateful Victory Curse to harm me, you should have been dead already! Heaven’s path was open to you, yet you didn’t take it; hell had no gate, yet you barged in yourself. Did you think I, Gu Changsheng, was someone who makes threats idly and speaks empty words?” As Gu Changsheng spoke, she glanced at Yhan Qinrui, waved towards the tower above, and her lips parted lightly, uttering two cold words.

”Release arrows!”
