Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 558: Chapter 411 Brotherly Respect and Reverence Combined with CP

Heaven must be feeling sorry for me, the most irritating opening line I hate in my whole life is certainly this one!

My lady, something terrible has happened!

Gu Changsheng doesn’t know whether the matter is good or bad, but every time she hears this phrase, she instinctively feels the sense of impending doom, as if dark clouds are pressing down on her!

This feeling is simply even worse than bad!

”My lady, you hit me again!” Xiao Song Mu complained, massaging his knocked forehead.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately rolled her eyes, ”It’s exactly you, you forgetful brat, who I hit! No doubts about it! How many times have I said, even if the sky collapses, there is a tall one to hold it up, keep your composure under Mount Tai’s overwhelming pressure, do you understand?”

While speaking, Gu Changsheng waved her hand at the apprentices to continue practicing, and she herself walked towards the outside of Medicine Tower.

Seeing this, Xiao Song Mu hurriedly followed suit.

”Xiao Song Mu, how many times have I told you guys, stop saying my lady this is bad, my lady that is bad. I was perfectly fine until you folks almost jinxed me!” Gu Changsheng said, walking towards the front courtyard.

”My lady, I was wrong!” Upon hearing this, Song Mu swiftly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Gu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction, ”Recognizing and correcting your error is indeed commendable! Tell me, who is the visitor this time that scared you so much?”

Xiao Song Mu heedfully caught up a few steps closer to his lady and said with wide eyes, ”It’s the Crown Prince of Southern Chen! The Crown Prince!”

Gu Changsheng’s brow immediately furrowed upon hearing this.

The Crown Prince of Southern Chen? What’s he doing at her medical hall?

Could it be that he was not satisfied after being choked by the evildoer last night and has come to seek revenge today?

”My lady, the Crown Prince’s procession has blocked half the street; we better hurry over there!” Song Mu urged anxiously.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but curl her lip, ”Procession?”

Indeed, these members of the imperial family love their grandiose displays!

In comparison, Zhou Zongbao is somewhat commendable on this front, at least he, being Prince Bao, shows none of the airs of a prince!

”Let’s go!” Gu Changsheng grabbed Song Mu, and amidst his cries of alarm, she dragged him along as they sprinted toward the front courtyard.

No matter how unwilling, with Sima Changhao coming, she couldn’t afford to take it lightly!

Be cautious, that’s the key!

When Gu Changsheng arrived at the hall of the medical hall, she was immediately astounded!

Look at this line of palace maids fanning, and all these little eunuchs...

Tsk tsk...

Goodness, it’s almost winter; why fan so vigorously? Is it for wind or shade?

Overall, it’s just two words: showing off!

Of course, Gu Changsheng only sneered inwardly before averting her gaze, now curious about the extravagant palanquin!

That’s right, the extravagant palanquin placed right in the center of her medical hall!

What’s the meaning of this? Such a big fuss, are they bringing me a delicate treasure?

”The dim light from last night didn’t reveal much, but now at a clear sight, Medicine God Lady Changsheng indeed possesses stunning beauty!”

An admiring voice rang out, and Gu Changsheng immediately turned in the direction of the source.

Unsurprisingly, Sima Changhao was sitting firmly in the seat of honor!

What the hell, seizing the host’s seat! That’s clearly her spot!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but grumble inwardly, but the thought of ousting Sima Changhao from the seat was out of the question!

After all, he’s a crown prince! Although not from Great Zhou!

”Your Highness, Crown Prince, doesn’t it prick your conscience to praise Changsheng so highly?” Gu Changsheng said with a hooked lip and a playful remark.

It would be more fitting for Huo Shuixian, that little bitch, to claim such beauty!’

She, Gu Changsheng, certainly cannot bear such excessive praise!

Sima Changhao responded to her words with an indifferent smile.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng once again spoke, ”May I know why Your Highness graces my humble abode today?”

She really didn’t want to entertain such an esteemed guest!

”Medicine God is too modest. If your dwelling is considered humble, then how many grand mansions are there under the heavens?” Sima Changhao opened his mouth with a smile in his eyes.

Gu Changsheng, seeing this, showed a hint of impatience in her eyes!

She truly has no patience for such pleasantries!

Right now, she’d love to yell at Sima Changhao: Speak if you have something to say, fart if you must, and leave once it’s over!

Unfortunately, she can’t!

Sima Changhao, who was adept at reading facial expressions, waved his hand to his followers and then spoke again, ”Frankly, I come today to seek a favor!”

As he spoke, a little eunuch holding a tray walked up to Gu Changsheng and lifted the red cloth covering it.

Gu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed at the sight of the object on the tray.

Silver notes!

Ten thousand taels!

”Having heard that Medicine God Lady Changsheng charges a thousand gold for treatment and ten thousand gold for saving a life, I have brought the consultation fee. I implore Lady Changsheng to lend her aid!” While speaking, Sima Changhao rose from the main seat and advanced to not far in front of Gu Changsheng, slowly bowing in respect.

”Yikes!”

Gu Changsheng, seeing this, immediately jumped aside with a look of horror.

Darn it! This is the Crown Prince of Southern Chen; his gesture of respect is not something so easily accepted!

Gu Changsheng felt a little uneasy, darn it, she was really too presumptuous; he wasn’t bringing her a luxurious palanquin, he was clearly bringing a patient in it!

But who could it be that would make a figure like the Crown Prince of Southern Chen stoop to plead?

But before Gu Changsheng could ask, Sima Changhao strode over to the palanquin.

Gu Changsheng watched in horror as a look of helplessness flashed across Sima Changhao’s face standing outside the palanquin curtains, which quickly turned into doting...

These expressions, these eyes, were all too familiar!

Gu Changsheng was absolutely certain, the evildoer looked at her with the same gaze every time!

Could it be that the patient inside the palanquin was Sima Changhao’s favored concubine?

”Imperial Younger Brother, will you not release the palanquin’s curtain!”

In the midst of Gu Changsheng’s conjecture, Sima Changhao spoke upon hearing that.

Struck by lightning, Gu Changsheng became a mess in the wind...

Imperial Younger Brother? Imperial Younger Brother!

Damn, the Imperial Clan of Southern Chen really had a couple of seedlings now!

Besides Sima Liancheng, there was no one else who could be Sima Changhao’s Imperial Younger Brother!

So, does this mean... the person inside the palanquin is Sima Liancheng?

But... that look from Sima Changhao just now?

What the hell kind of ghost is this?

”No! If you don’t bring back my young male prostitute, I won’t see the doctor!”

A resolute rejection came from inside the palanquin.

Gu Changsheng was absolutely certain, this voice truly belonged to Sima Liancheng without a doubt!

”Stop making a scene! This isn’t Southern Chen, where you can behave recklessly!” Sima Changhao scolded upon hearing this, but the affection on his face did not decrease at all.

”Cough cough cough...”

The next moment, a series of suppressed coughs came from inside the palanquin.

Sima Changhao, standing outside the palanquin, had a sudden drastic change in his expression, with a flicker of distress in his eyes.

Gu Changsheng stroked her chin, her face showing an enigmatic expression as she watched the two brothers in a standoff inside and outside the palanquin!

This storyline is a bit off, damn it!

Sima Liancheng, a true schemer pretending to be a fake homosexual, is Sima Changhao’s brother, right?

But why do I always feel like there’s something off with Sima Changhao’s demeanor?

Could it be just as Borjigin Nian said, that me being such an evildoer, I always think in a crooked way?

”Imperial Younger Brother, stop fooling around! Whatever kind of young male prostitute you want, once we return to Southern Chen, I will pick one out and send them to you. Those from the brothel are unworthy to attend to you!” Sima Changhao compromised as he reached to lift the palanquin curtain.

The next moment, Gu Changsheng saw Sima Liancheng wrapped up like a bun, lifelessly lying inside the palanquin!

Sima Liancheng, with a disgruntled face, waited for Sima Changhao, firmly accusing, ”Imperial Brother, you always say that, yet I’ve never seen the person you promised to send! You fraud!”

Seeing this, Sima Changhao hurriedly pretended to be angry and warned, ”Don’t fool around, lest outsiders laugh at us!”

The very next instant, Sima Liancheng looked towards Gu Changsheng, with genuine indignation flashing in his eyes!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but touch her nose and look around, alright then, all the servants were bowing to the side, leaving only her standing as the ”outsider”!

”Who is this person? I find her annoying, Imperial Brother, send her away!” Sima Liancheng pointed at Gu Changsheng, speaking disdainfully.

”Me?” cried Gu Changsheng, as she suddenly pointed at her own nose.

Come on! Do you have to be so petty?

All I did was hang him from a tree branch, and it just so happened to start raining in winter!

Considering he’s a prince, that’s some incredibly narrow-mindedness!

But this Sima Liancheng really knows how to keep a low profile! No wonder he has survived under Sima Changhao’s watchful eye; looking at how they pretend to be strangers, their acting is so thoroughly convincing, piercing right to the bone!

”Imperial Younger Brother, you must not be impolite! This is none other than Medicine God Lady Changsheng, known across the Four Kingdoms. You dislike having those Imperial Physicians close by, so how about letting her treat you?” Seeing this, Sima Changhao scolded first, then quickly soothed with his words.

”I also don’t like women close by!” Sima Liancheng retorted angrily on the spot.

Upon hearing this, the corner of Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched violently!

Jeez! This acting skill! It’s simply breathtaking!

I, Gu Changsheng, admit defeat; even flattery falls short!

Seeing this, Sima Changhao helplessly turned his head towards Gu Changsheng, ”Medicine God, please don’t mind, my Imperial Younger Brother has an odd temperament, and it has caused you amusement!”

Gu Changsheng shook her head vigorously and waved her hands upon hearing this, ”No amusement! No amusement!”

Damn it, it’s not Sima Liancheng I find amusing at all!

I admire him, alright!

What amuses me is Sima Changhao!

This Crown Prince, so easily deceived by Sima Liancheng; even for a brotherly love and respect, isn’t this a bit too much?

To this formidable character, Gu Changsheng had the urge to ask him, ”Hey, was your expression misplaced or what?”

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but look towards Sima Liancheng inside the palanquin. As their eyes met, Sima Liancheng shot her a warning look!

Startled, Gu Changsheng suddenly had a moment of realization!

Damn it, did I actually guess right?

Sima Liancheng, this scheming man, is a fake homosexual, while Sima Changhao, this formidable figure, is actually the true homosexual?

Damn it, not only a homosexual but also someone with a brother complex!

What’s this rhythm? A mix of brotherly love and respect with a CP twist?

Thinking this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but raise her head and hold her forehead. Damn it, the people of the Imperial Family sure know how to play!

My world view, oh!
