Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 534: Chapter 391 The Story of Radish and Chrysanthemum

”Thump!”

”Thump!”

As soon as Gu Changsheng finished speaking, two crisp thuds were heard from behind him.

Turning his head, he saw Yuan Bao and Si Xi, one chubby and round, the other slim and graceful, both little eunuchs had, without exception, plopped to the ground!

It was the classic face-planting action, not containing a drop of moisture!

And it was absolutely not an elegant sight!

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng immediately rolled his eyes!

What kind of psychological resilience is this, way too weak!

”Gu... Gu Changsheng, you’re joking, right?” Borjigin Nian swallowed with difficulty, her voice filled with uncertainty and doubt as she spoke.

This can’t be true!

How could her brother possibly have a ’bromance’ with Yue Xilou!

Gu Changsheng must be kidding, otherwise her worldview would be completely shattered!

Her brother is the undefeated War God, famous throughout the Four Kingdoms! And Yue Xilou is the most beautiful man under the heavens, he is hers, Borjigin Nian’s!

Yuan Bao and Si Xi, who had clumsily scrambled up from the ground, immediately nodded in agreement!

Lady Changsheng, you can’t make jokes like this, wow!

It could kill people!

Gu Changsheng glanced at the expressions of the few people around him and immediately shook his head repeatedly, speaking in a disheartened tone, ”Of course I’m joking! What else did you think?”

Shit, she was a hundred percent, ten thousand percent certain, that evildoer was male, with a special fondness for Gu Changsheng!

Every time he showed restraint, it was ironclad proof!

Borjigin Nian and the others simply lacked the spirit of entertaining themselves, look how scared they got, bunch of cowards!

Despicable!

”Mommy, what is ’bromance’?” Xiao Gu Ze, holding onto her clothes, stood on tiptoes, and asked with a puzzled face.

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but laugh when she heard this, looking at her son’s soft and tender little voice, asking about such a technically rich question!

”Bromance, well, it’s a story about radishes and chrysanthemums!” Gu Changsheng replied with unwavering certainty.

”What’s up with radishes and chrysanthemums? Are they for porridge or soup?” Xiao Gu Ze swallowed and continued to ask.

The radish, wow, can be used to make radish porridge, or used for radish-filled buns, they’re so tasty!

He was hungry!

”Foodie! And for making tea too!” Gu Changsheng immediately gave him a light flick on the head.

Being able to control her Inner Strength with her will, Gu Changsheng didn’t have to be cautious anymore, and that feeling was just fantastic!

”Mommy doesn’t answer the question, and now you’re hitting me!” Xiao Gu Ze immediately rubbed the top of his head, pouting in protest, and then he continued to dwell on the previous question, ”Mommy, what actually happened with the radishes and chrysanthemums?”

”Cough cough!” Seeing that her son wasn’t fooled and she had failed to divert the topic, Gu Changsheng cleared her throat lightly, straightened her face, and answered seriously, ”When it comes to radishes and chrysanthemums, it’s really a love-hate, colorful and **** filled story. It’s more or less about how radishes leave a trail of devastated chrysanthemums behind...”

”Pfft!”

”Pfft!”

As soon as Gu Changsheng finished speaking, led by Borjigin Nian, several people couldn’t help but burst out laughing!

What does ’radishes devastate chrysanthemums’ mean?

Godfather!

”Is there something wrong?” Xiao Gu Ze was still full of doubt, scratching his little chin, blinking his round and plump eyes as he asked.

His mommy definitely wouldn’t deceive him, whatever mommy says is always right!

If Gu Changsheng knew what he was thinking, she would definitely raise both her hands and feet in agreement—she would never deceive her own little bun!

At most, she just bamboozles her own little bun!

Poor little thing, everything she said was the absolute truth. How can ’bromance’ be without radishes and chrysanthemums? Of course, if you insisted on replacing it with a thin slice of ginger, that wouldn’t be impossible!

...Sweat...

”Cough cough!” Borjigin Nian coughed for a long time, finally managing to steady her breathing.

Being born into the Northern Mongolian Imperial Family, she naturally knew that noble households were never short of people with special preferences, and the practice of keeping catamites was repeatedly prohibited but never stopped!

Of course, this story of radishes and chrysanthemums—even though she was unmarried and untarnished—she still had some understanding!

”Gu Changsheng, are you supposed to teach your son like that? Aren’t you afraid that if you teach your son wrongly, your Gu Family will have no descendants left!” Borjigin Nian rolled her eyes and spoke reproachfully.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng gave her a side-eye with a festive demeanor, assertively speaking, ”Ignorant! There you go again with your nonsense. You see, this homosexuality tends to involve bisexuality. In other words, it’s that sort which goes both ways with men and women!”

How could they possibly be without descendants?

Loads of little tadpoles, just sparing one would ensure the lineage doesn’t die out!

Be at ease, even if her son got twisted by her teaching, she still wouldn’t lack someone to take care of her in her old age!

Borjigin Nian was really worrying too much!

Borjigin Nian snatched the little dumpling with brisk and decisive movements, leaping a step away from Gu Changsheng and pouting, ”Xiao Gu Ze, listen to me, stay away from your mother in the future, she’s nothing but trouble, she’ll be the death of you!”

”Uh...” Xiao Gu Ze immediately looked down and began to chew anxiously on his chubby little fingers.

His mother was so nice, how could she be a disaster for him? Because of radishes and chrysanthemums?

At worst, he’d just stop eating radishes and chrysanthemums, that would fix it!

Aunt Nian was being an alarmist! Little meat bun concluded firmly in his heart!

”Little meat bun, be good, don’t listen to Aunt Nian’s nonsense, I’m your real mom, how could I possibly harm you?” Gu Changsheng immediately countered, raising her eyebrows as she spoke, ”When you’re older, Mom will tell you the story about radishes and chrysanthemums, okay?”

Little meat bun eagerly nodded in agreement.

Borjigin Nian glared furiously upon hearing this!

Yuan Bao and Si Xi were already swaying on their feet, completely speechless!

Seeing them like this, Gu Changsheng sighed in disappointment.

Generational gaps, ah, generational gaps... In modern times, gay couples dare to get married and make headlines, yet in ancient times, you can’t even fantasize about it!

So dull!

”Gu Changsheng, stop spouting nonsense. With your inner strength, it would be a piece of cake for you to eavesdrop on the conversations in Bright Moon Tower and Yue Xilou. Just concentrate your inner strength and listen in instead of sitting here making up stories,” Borjigin Nian sighed long and resigned herself to changing the topic.

We can’t let Gu Changsheng linger on radishes and chrysanthemums anymore. Otherwise, it won’t just be Yuan Bao and Si Xi in turmoil, even I’ll be disheveled by the wind!

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately rolled her eyes, ”Why should I bother eavesdropping?”

”Aren’t you curious?” Borjigin Nian asked, puzzled.

Gu Changsheng replied with an indifferent shrug, ”Sure, I’m curious! But, you know, while it’s said that curiosity killed the cat, unfortunately for that saying, I just happen not to be the cat that curiosity could kill!”

The matter between the evildoer and Flower Peacock? Well, she’s had her suspicions for a while!

Ever since the evildoer went off to war but allowed Flower Peacock to stay at her side, Gu Changsheng became suspicious!

The evildoer, knowing full well that she was a face-con, had surprisingly entrusted her with the high-status Flower Peacock!

Was that normal? Clearly, it wasn’t!

Anomalies presage monsters lurking!

Just look at how their eyes turn red when they see each other, but when they actually fight, it’s nothing serious!

That’s clearly just fooling around, isn’t it?

For the aloof and proud evildoer to lower his status and engage in such romping with Flower Peacock, their relationship must certainly be extraordinary!

”Gu Changsheng, just listen in, won’t you? You may not be the cat that’s killed by curiosity, but I am!” Borjigin Nian approached Gu Changsheng again, nudging her with her elbow and blinking her curious big eyes as she urged.

”No way!” Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes, her refusal as clear-cut as ever, turning to the Bright Moon Tower, her expression indifferent, ”If they cleared us out, it’s because they don’t want us to know.”

”Even lovers have the right to keep some privacy. I respect their choice, they’ll tell us when it’s time. Why should we stoop to eavesdropping, only to be tarred with the reputation of being sneaks?”

Gu Changsheng spoke with righteousness, leaving Borjigin Nian tongue-tied with admiration.

”I’m a person with principles, I can’t engage in such despicable behavior. If you want to listen, go ahead on your own!” Gu Changsheng patted her chest, looking even more like a gentleman, then added, ”Just be sure to share what you hear with me afterward!”

Borjigin Nian was speechless in response!

”People who are shameless are invincible! After touting your own virtues, how dare you encourage me to do it!” Borjigin Nian spat disdainfully after a while.

Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes, ”How much does a pound of face cost? Are you selling yours?”

”I...”

Before Borjigin Nian could retort, Gu Changsheng interrupted her, ”Ah! No, that’s not right! You don’t have any. How can you sell what you don’t have! Haha!”

”Gu Changsheng! You better not run! Don’t think that just because you have decades more inner strength, I’ll be afraid of you!”

As Gu Changsheng hightailed it aside, Borjigin Nian set the little meat bun on the ground and, with an explosive roar, chased after her.

”Come on, Aunt Nian, let’s have a fight!”

Gu Changsheng, running ahead, turned back and beckoned Borjigin Nian, speaking with a cheeky, fearless demeanor.

”You’re pushing me too far! Way too far! Ahhhhh!”

At that, Borjigin Nian lunged at her, fuming and flailing wildly.

In life, you need to learn the most basic rule of survival: making the best of a bad situation.

Gu Changsheng was something of an expert in this area.

On her own, she obviously couldn’t stop the coveting stares from the Three Kingdoms.

This sort of state affair was beyond her now; she was no longer a modern General. She was now just a plain Medicine Lady; she stayed out of military matters, avoiding the corresponding scares and stipend.

With trouble brewing, there were others to stand tall, and Zhou Mu was her protective umbrella.

The feeling of relying completely on someone was truly delightful!

Little meat bun toddled along on his short legs behind his mother, unable to help cheering and clapping as the two women grappled.

Yuan Bao and Si Xi exchanged a look and smiled wryly, masking the worry in their hearts.

Gu Changsheng dodged away from Borjigin Nian’s critical points, occasionally poking her as they brawled and played with great enthusiasm.

During the midst of their tussle, Gu Changsheng looked downwards, pondering for a moment before deciding to speak up...
