Chapter 560: Chapter 413 Make Your Southern Chen Royal Family Extinct

Sima Changhao, upon hearing this, instantly became so furious that his face turned red and his neck thickened!

He was born the Crown Prince of Southern Chen. Had he ever been treated like this?

At this moment, he completely disregarded the oppressive force emanating from Gu Changsheng. He trembled as he raised his hands toward Gu Changsheng, his lips quivering with anger, ”You! How dare you!”

”I dare even more than that!” Gu Changsheng retorted sharply upon hearing this, ”Sima Changhao, it’s true you are the Crown Prince of Southern Chen. But this is Great Zhou! Think about where you are before you try to pull rank!”

”You can’t tolerate me? Yet you step into my territory, and my turf won’t tolerate your arrogance either!”

Gu Changsheng stood fearlessly in the center of the hall, surrounded by elite soldiers with spears aimed directly at her, yet she remained utterly unmoved.

The blood-red gown, lifted by her inner strength, rustled loudly, making her appear like a War God descended to earth, dominating all beneath heaven.

At this moment, Gu Changsheng was truly furious!

She hated it when others looked down on her as if they were her foster father!

She hated it even more when others acted as if they could control her life and death!

So what if he was the Crown Prince of Southern Chen? Even if he were a god, he could not control her fate! Her life was in her own hands, and if he wanted to take it, he would have to exchange his strength for it!

Sima Liancheng, lying leisurely in a soft palanquin, watched the standoff unfold, a flash of contemplation in his eyes, yet he did not utter a single word!

”Gu Changsheng! You truly are recklessly lawless; if I do not kill you today, where would my authority stand!” Sima Changhao spoke with a cold and stern face, his eyes pervasive with a murderous intent, ”Today, I swear I will leave your corpse right there!”

”Haha...” Gu Changsheng burst into laughter upon hearing this, her laughter wild and unrestrained!

Her laughter, imbued with inner strength, was like an invisible hand covering everyone in front of her!

This included Sima Changhao and his elite soldiers behind him—all their faces turned pale!

Those with lesser cultivation couldn’t help but cover their ears!

Seeing this, Sima Changhao’s expression involuntarily changed!

The next instant, two elderly figures with chicken-skin and crane hair suddenly appeared beside Sima Changhao!

Both had bulging eyes and protruding temples—a clear indication of martial arts practitioners!

As the Crown Prince, naturally, he was accompanied by experts!

Gu Changsheng’s laughter slowly ceased, and with a face full of scorn and slightly squinted phoenix eyes, she coldly spoke, ”Sima Changhao, I respect you as the Crown Prince of Southern Chen and did not wish to clash with you! But you want my life!”

Gu Changsheng’s voice grew increasingly chilly as she spoke, ”Your audacity knows no bounds! Do you think with these elite soldiers and these two experts, you can take my life?”

Sima Changhao, hearing this, also flashed a look of disdain and confidently declared, ”Arrogant woman! Do you think you can escape today? If I decide to kill someone, no one can avoid their fate! Gu Changsheng, this day next year will be your memorial day!”

He had to eliminate her, whether she was the Female Star of the Occupation Room, Ying Zhao, or not, she had to die!

Having such immense inner strength and unparalleled medical skills, she couldn’t be used by Zhou Mu; the potential trouble was too grave!

Gu Changsheng, hearing this, faintly moved her fingers, her sleeves swished, and her skirt fluttered. In the blink of an eye, she perched cross-legged on the hall table, her face calm and smiling, slowly opening her mouth, ”Sima Changhao, if you want to kill me, just try, but let me state upfront, if you harm even a brick of my Medical Tower today, I will demand a complete city of yours in compensation! Destroy a tile, and I will ask for ten miles of your fertile land in return! Harm half a servant in my house, I’ll demand your entire Southern Chen!”

”You might think Zhou Mu would not wage a war against Southern Chen for my sake, but let me tell you, Sima Changhao, listen well, my life and death are controlled by me, not by destiny! Even if you are the Crown Prince of Southern Chen, do not think I will sit here waiting to die!”

”Today you lead your forces to surround my residence, and if I should die, so be it. Otherwise, if Zhou Mu doesn’t send troops, I will lead them to Southern Chen myself!”

Gu Changsheng, her delicate fingers gracefully pointing at Sima Changhao, said,

Sima Changhao, upon hearing this, scoffed with disdain, ”Facing death, yet still flaunting your eloquence!”

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng smiled sweetly, ”I have said all that needs to be said; believe it or not, that’s up to you! Northern Mongolian and Liaodong remain still, yet only you, Sima Changhao, have rushed to confront me. Such eager ambition, Sima Changhao, your wolfish ambition is no small matter! If you doubt this evil, just let them try and move against me!”

”You are the Crown Prince of Southern Chen, not even fearing Great Zhou facing Southern Chen in war, and I, a mere Medicine Lady, what have I to fear? But let me remind you, the men you brought today are likely incapable of harming me in the slightest, unless you mobilise your troops stationed outside Liuzhou City, only then might there be a slim chance of killing me here!”

”But if that happens, a war between Great Zhou and Southern Chen becomes inevitable!”

Gu Changsheng, looking at Sima Changhao, spoke emphatically, ”So, Crown Prince, think carefully! To exchange my life for the downfall of Southern Chen, do you think that is a trade worth making?”

She could feel that the entire Gu Residence was surrounded, yet she could easily break through the encirclement!

But how about the people in her house?

At that moment, all she needed was to stall for a few more moments, and everything would be manageable!

”Enough with the nonsense! All soldiers, heed my command: Whoever kills Gu Changsheng will be promoted and awarded! Charge!” Sima Changhao waved his sleeve, commanded in a cold voice, and swiftly moved towards the sedan chair.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s face revealed a mocking smile.

Seeing her smile from atop the sedan, Sima Liancheng felt a chill in his heart and grabbed Sima Changhao’s arm, ”Imperial Brother, you mustn’t!”

As aloof as Gu Changsheng was, he would never speak without cause!

Sima Liancheng determined that if they acted today and Gu Changsheng died, it would end there; but if not, she might truly cause the Southern Chen to repay with their nation!

Although it was just a possibility, Sima Liancheng would not allow it!

Southern Chen belonged to him!

”Imperial Younger Brother, are you pleading for this woman?” Sima Changhao, upon hearing this, looked at Sima Liancheng in disbelief and asked uncertainly, ”You never care about these matters, why do you speak out to stop me today?”

”Imperial Brother! I know what you are thinking, but it’s not suitable for us in Southern Chen to move against Gu Changsheng now!” Sima Liancheng spoke anxiously, ”If Imperial Brother really takes action, Northern Mongolian and Liaodong will stand aside. If that happens, we would have helped others for nothing and also angered Prince Mu, what then?”

Upon hearing this, a glint of contemplation flashed in Sima Changhao’s eyes, but it quickly turned into firmness, ”No matter what, Gu Changsheng has shown contempt for me, and his crime deserves death! I will not let her go today!”

”Heh heh...”

Seeing this, Sima Liancheng opened his mouth to persuade again, but Gu Changsheng suddenly chuckled lightly...

Her radiant face shone brightly as she casually observed Sima Changhao with her large phoenix eyes, Gu Changsheng began tauntingly, ”Not let me go? You must have the capability to not let me go! Sima Changhao, try your strength now, can you still hold a weapon?”

Upon hearing this, Sima Changhao lifted his hands in shock and immediately his face turned pale.

”Clatter clatter clatter clatter...”

The next moment, the sound of countless weapons hitting the ground echoed.

Looking at the faces of panic before her, Gu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction, ”The effect is good! Gu’s exclusive Five-Spice Muscle-Relaxing Powder! Does it taste a bit like five-spice melon seeds?”

”You!” Sima Changhao trembled, his muscles twitching as he frantically searched his chest, ”Detoxification Pill! Detoxification Pill!”

Gu Changsheng watched as Sima Changhao took out a porcelain vial and poured out the only two detoxification pills, stuffing one into Sima Liancheng’s mouth without a second thought, shaking her head.

Such a decisive figure like Sima Changhao turned out to have a brother complex!

The brotherly bond was indeed tight!

”Someone, close the gate!” Gu Changsheng waved to the kids standing ready nearby.

Upon hearing this, Sima Changhao and his men’s faces drastically changed, but they now lacked even the strength to move, let alone stop her!

In a short while, the light in the hall dimmed, and the Luminous Pearls embedded in the ceiling became even more dazzling!

Watching Sima Changhao’s subordinates frantically stuffing medicinal pills into their mouths, Gu Changsheng blew on her fingertips and spoke casually, ”Stop wasting your effort! All things in nature counterbalance one another, all medicinal herbs come from the same root, can your tiny detoxification pills neutralize the poison I, Gu Changsheng, have crafted?”

Was her reputation as a Medicine God just for show?

Truly overestimating themselves!

”You! You bitch!” Sima Changhao, drained of strength, collapsed in front of Sima Liancheng’s sedan, glaring at Gu Changsheng with hatred.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng chuckled mockingly, her skirt fluttering as she changed her pose to casually lean against the long table with one hand propping her head, her lips curving, ”Bitch? At this point, you still dare to call me a bitch? Sima Changhao, the words you just said, I now return them to you exactly as they were!”

”Courting death, yet still daring to show off your eloquence!”

”You!” Sima Changhao was instantly enraged, his eyes splitting with fury.

Gu Changsheng, utterly unconcerned, blew on her fingertips and slowly spoke, ”Sima Changhao, you took advantage of your brother’s illness to strike at me, leading your personal guards to besiege my residence. What was your real purpose?”

”You don’t know?” Sima Changhao’s eyes flashed with a sinister look, ”I might as well tell you, you have a close relationship with Zhou Mu, unmatched medical skills, and we are now in your hands, which proves it. Do you think I would watch you become a major asset to Great Zhou?”

”Is that all?” Gu Changsheng raised her eyebrows and continued asking.

Seeing her question again, Sima Changhao dropped his gaze, his mind filled with considerations.

Gu Changsheng, seeing his silence, smirked with a lifted lip, ”No need to speak if you don’t want to, but you must have heard, those who dare to confront me with sword and spear all meet with no good end. Do you believe I can make the Southern Chen Royal Family extinct within my residence?”
