Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 562: Chapter 415: When My Love Wants to Kill, They Will Act Immediately

”Sima Changhao, you truly use a clever hand at sowing discord. Aren’t you afraid of angering me?” Gu Changsheng’s face was frosty as he spoke coldly.

”Angering you? Haha...” Upon hearing this, Sima Changhao chuckled leisurely and replied, ”Gu Changsheng, everything I said is true! If you’re infuriated to shame, there’s nothing I can do. Although I’m less skilled and have fallen into your hands, what dare you do to me?”

Upon hearing these words, Gu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed dangerously, his lips curling into a cold arc as he slowly said, ”What dare I do to you? Haha...”

”Sima Changhao, do you think that because you are the Crown Prince of Southern Chen, I can’t touch you? Well, let me tell you now, I, Gu Changsheng, am all alone in the world, unafraid of death, and I alone will not be bullied by anyone! You’ve harbored murderous intentions toward me; how could I possibly let you leave?”

As Gu Changsheng spoke, his figure suddenly transformed into a red blur.

When Sima Changhao regained his senses, Gu Changsheng was already standing not far in front of him!

Seeing the sharp phoenix eyes up close, Sima Changhao’s heart involuntarily shivered!

”What happens between Great Zhou and Southern Chen is none of my business; I am nothing but an Abandoned Wife, so lowly and beneath notice that even you, the Crown Prince of Southern Chen, wouldn’t spare me a glance!” Gu Changsheng leaned forward, looking down at Sima Changhao, who lay on top of Sima Liancheng, and with a lifted corner of his mouth, he spoke, ”But to kill you, all I need is a twitch of my finger. Sima Changhao, those who bully Gu Changsheng, no matter if you are the son of the Heavenly Emperor or Buddha Tathagata, I will make sure you never return!”

As Gu Changsheng spoke, he raised both hands and reached toward Sima Changhao’s neck.

”Crown Prince!”

”Imperial Brother!”

Upon seeing this, everyone turned pale with shock; even the expression on Sima Liancheng’s face repeatedly changed!

This woman’s decisiveness in killing was far beyond his expectations!

He had not anticipated that she would dare to lay hands even on the Crown Prince of Southern Chen!

After a cry of alarm, a flicker of delight suddenly passed through Sima Liancheng’s eyes—if Sima Changhao died, Southern Chen would be at his fingertips!

The fervor in the depths of Sima Liancheng’s eyes flashed by, and he watched intently at those pale, delicate fingers!

They just needed to get a bit closer!

With Gu Changsheng’s inner strength, barely a flick of her fingers was needed, and then Sima Changhao would surely perish there!

As Gu Changsheng’s hand drew near, Sima Changhao’s pupils shrank tighter and tighter, a slow spread of the fear of death creeping over his heart. Those fingers seemed like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, swinging with a chill of Hell, rushing straight for his throat.

”No! No, don’t do it! Don’t!” In a panic, Sima Changhao shook his head, his powerless body inching back little by little.

In this moment, all pretensions of the Crown Prince of Southern Chen’s dignity, all of the Southern Chen Royal Family’s upbringing, dispersed like mist!

In the face of death, Sima Changhao’s true nature of fearing death and clinging to life was laid bare!

”Gu Changsheng! If you hurt our Crown Prince, Southern Chen and Great Zhou will certainly become embroiled in war! With chaos erupting, countless lives will be ruined, the people suffering! Aren’t you a doctor? Where is your benevolent doctor’s heart? Can you truly bear to see countless commoners displaced because of your momentary satisfaction?” a guard, his face a portrait of fear, voiced his concerns.

Gu Changsheng, pausing with an outstretched hand, turned her head to look at the guard, and spoke with undiminished vigor, ”So what? I merely sought to live in peace in a corner of Liuzhou, but none of you would let me be. Too preoccupied to protect myself, where would I find the care to look after the world’s people?”

Having said this, Gu Changsheng turned her gaze back to Sima Changhao, her smile blossoming beautifully in an instant, ”Sima Changhao, I’ve said before that my fate is in my hands, not heaven’s! You want to kill me, so I can only act first. Since you’ve been outplayed, I hope you won’t feel wronged on your road to Yellow Springs!”

As she spoke, Gu Changsheng’s fingers hesitated no more, grasping precisely at Sima Changhao’s throat!

In that instant, Sima Changhao’s face flushed red, his eyes bulging!

”You... I...”

His struggles were futile, growing feebler by the moment.

”Crown Prince!”

”Imperial Brother!”

Onlookers roared with all their might, their guts wrenching as they desperately crawled toward the palanquin.

”Gu Changsheng, let go of my Imperial Brother! Whatever you want, I promise you, do you at all comprehend what you’re doing?” Sima Liancheng grasped Gu Changsheng’s wrist, feigning anxiety as he spoke.

Gu Changsheng glanced sideways at him, taking in the madness in his eyes, disgust flashing across her heart before she bluntly said, ”Get lost!”

The next moment, with inner strength gathered in her arm, she sent the weakened Sima Liancheng flying far away.

”Let go of the Crown Prince!”

”Let go of the Crown Prince!”

As Sima Changhao’s eyes began to roll back, the surrounding shouts of fury gradually turned into pleas.

Gu Changsheng created a wall with her inner strength, making it utterly impossible for them to intervene!

”If someone seeks my life, I will take theirs! If heaven seeks my demise, I will slay heaven itself! Sima Changhao, all of this is your own doing; blame no one else!” A murderous red gleam flashed in Gu Changsheng’s eyes.

She loathed this feeling intensely!

This sensation of everyone trying to control her life and death!

She too was human—not some plant or beast! She too had a right to live!

She never liked to take lives! But why were there so many people who wanted to put her to death? Why? Why?

If she couldn’t find peace in her unassertive and uncompetitive nature, then what did it matter if the world fell into chaos?

At this moment, murderous intent flooded Gu Changsheng’s heart, pulsating as if it were about to burst forth from her body!

She was a former Special Forces Soldier and had never been part of the meek and gentle!

The repeated threats to her life from Sima Changhao echoed in her ears, making Gu Changsheng ignore the pleas around her. She now had only one thought: those who wanted her dead must pay with their own lives!

The strength in her hands slowly intensified, Sima Changhao’s face turned progressively more congested and red, his breathing growing weaker and more ragged...

”My love!”

Just then, a deep and heartbroken voice rang out beside Gu Changsheng’s ear.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng woodenly turned her head to look aside, where Zhou Mu stood outside of the barrier created by her inner strength, donned in a purple gold python robe, looking at her with concern on his face.

Her grip involuntarily relaxed, and the murderous look in her eyes slowly receded...

”Good heavens! Lady Changsheng, what are you doing? Are you trying to strangle the Crown Prince of Southern Chen?” Yuan Bao, who rushed in panting, had not yet caught his breath when he was stunned by the scene before him!

Godfather! What had he seen?

Why was Lady Changsheng holding Sima Changhao by the neck, while his face obviously turned the color of pig liver, gasping more than inhaling...

This couldn’t be real! It must be because he didn’t sleep well last night that he was having such hallucinations!

Yuan Bao couldn’t help but rub his eyes with his hands, muttering to himself, ”Wake up from the nightmare! Wake up from the nightmare!”

But that’s the Crown Prince of Southern Chen!

If he were to be killed by Lady Changsheng’s own hand, wouldn’t that lead to total chaos in the world?

He rubbed his eyes, but Lady Changsheng’s hand was still unfortunately holding Sima Changhao’s neck, and his face color was shifting from liver to a purple hue!

How could this be allowed?

Instantly, Yuan Bao stretched his hands and dove towards Lady Changsheng, ”Lady Changsheng, you really shouldn’t! This could lead to chaos in the world!”

Gu Changsheng, with her hand around Sima Changhao’s neck, turned her head towards Zhou Mu, completely ignoring Yuan Bao’s words and gazed steadily at him without blinking.

Zhou Mu was also steadily staring back at her, not taking his eyes off her for a moment, and when Yuan Bao lunged toward him, he raised his hand to stop him.

”My lord?” With his own master’s arm blocking him, Yuan Bao immediately looked up in confusion.

What did this mean? Was his master really going to watch idly by as Lady Changsheng strangled Sima Changhao to death?

This was terrible! If the Crown Prince of Southern Chen died at the hands of his master’s lady, what then?

”My love will not harm you, and if you barge in before she withdraws her inner strength, it will only backlash upon her! If you dare to barge in, do not blame me for being ruthless!” said Zhou Mu, looking at Gu Changsheng with a grave voice.

Yuan Bao was stunned for a moment, then mustered his inner strength to sense around him, and indeed, not far in front of him, there was a wall formed from a powerful fluctuation of inner strength!

Yuan Bao couldn’t help but pat his chest, feeling incredibly relieved!

His master was right, although Lady Changsheng often bullied him for fun, she would never really hurt him, and the inner strength would only backlash upon herself!

If even a single hair on Lady Changsheng was harmed, his master would explode with anger, and if he caused her to be backlashed by her inner strength, wouldn’t his master tear him apart?

Fortunate! How fortunate that his master stopped him!

Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, saw her murderous aura gradually vanish, and the inner strength she had released slowly receded. She looked at Zhou Mu with a hint of grievance in her eyes, hesitated, and whispered, ”The evildoer, he wanted to kill me...”

Zhou Mu, upon hearing this, a trace of distress flashed through his unfathomable eyes, glanced over the weapons scattered everywhere and the elite soldiers sprawled haphazardly on the ground, and slowly nodded, ”I understand!”

Yuan Bao was immediately taken aback, his eyes widening in disbelief!

Was that it?

This exchange seemed off!

Shouldn’t his master be stopping Lady Changsheng?

”My lord! That’s the Crown Prince of Southern Chen! If Lady Changsheng kills him, what about the Southern Chen troops stationed outside the city?” Yuan Bao spoke with a worried face, ”The Crown Prince cannot be killed! Otherwise, Liuzhou City will surely become the battleground for the war between Great Zhou and Southern Chen!”

Even he, with his not so sharp mind, could think of all this, so it was inconceivable that his highly intelligent master wouldn’t have thought of it!

Gu Changsheng turned her head back to look at Sima Changhao, whom she was still holding, with his breath growing faint, and she murmured with downcast eyes, ”That’s right... he is the Crown Prince of Southern Chen... but he wanted to kill me...”

Just because he is the Crown Prince of Southern Chen, can he act all high and mighty, with the power of life and death over her?

A trace of resentment flashed through Gu Changsheng’s eyes!

Zhou Mu watched the woman before him, his lips gradually curving into a slight smile, and with indulgent eyes, he spoke, ”Anyone in this world who wishes to harm my love is an enemy of mine! If my love wishes to kill him, she may go ahead! Whatever happens, I shall bear full responsibility!”
