Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 604: Chapter 453: Love Deep in the Bones, Concern Leads to Chaos

She didn’t know! She really didn’t know!

She didn’t know that the evildoer was actually injured! She vaguely remembered that in his self-blame, after a rampant killing spree and when he was about to self-destruct, the evildoer threw caution to the wind and lunged toward her!

Tears unexpectedly flowed from her eyes as Gu Changsheng murmured absent-mindedly, ”I didn’t know! I really didn’t know he was hurt! If I had known, I wouldn’t have let him get hurt for me again, nor would I have let him go to war because of me... It’s all my fault...”

”Mother...” Seeing this, the little dumpling immediately panicked, nervously clutching the hem of his mother’s dress, his eyes also beginning to well up with tears.

”Changsheng’s beloved daughter!” At the dining table, Mr. Ban Shan also called out with a worried face.

”Foster Father, he’s gone! He’s gone to war again! And he’s still carrying his wounds!” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng, with tear-filled eyes, turned to look at her foster father. Like a helpless daughter seeking comfort, she trembled as she spoke, ”Foster Father, my inner strength harmed him, and I almost said some things that would hurt him. On the battlefield, weapons do not discriminate; life and death can change in an instant, and he’s still wounded... Foster Father, what should I do? What can I do?”

”Don’t panic just yet! Someone, fetch Yhan Ting! Hurry!” Mr. Ban Shan immediately instructed his worried family, then turned back to comfort his daughter, ”Changsheng’s beloved daughter, don’t panic. Zhou Mu’s injuries were treated by Yhan Ting. He came to bring me back to Baili Mountain, and right now, he’s in the residence. Call for him to come, ask him, and you’ll know!”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng shook her head blankly, ”Foster Father, I can’t let go. I must go to Liaodong, I have to find him!”

Only at that moment did Gu Changsheng realize, she truly could not let go!

This man, like a Divine Residence, standing high above all, yet from the time they met, he’d given her endless warmth!

Warmth that infiltrated her heart, consuming her to the bone!

From Capital City to the journey southward, they had been together the whole way!

In Liuzhou City, he protected her countless times!

For her, he rushed back from Southern Fujian not once, but twice!

For her, he defied his own grandfather, giving up the throne within easy reach!

For her, he risked his life to save her son, took on all the consequences for her, and went to war in Liaodong with injuries!

For her, he risked being the ridicule of everyone, to betroth an Abandoned Wife!

...

She had never counted before, but now realized, unconsciously, he had done so much for her...

With the Qianji Poison not fully cured, he was wounded yet again!

If something were to happen to him in Liaodong...

Gu Changsheng shook her head; she really couldn’t imagine it!

If something happened to him, what would she do?

It was only at this moment that she knew, love had pierced her bones; she couldn’t let go!

She really couldn’t let go!

”I must go to Liaodong! I have to find him!” Gu Changsheng murmured absent-mindedly.

She had to find him, whether it was during the bitter winter or amidst the chaos of the battlefield. She had to go find him!

”No!” Mr. Ban Shan grabbed Gu Changsheng, who was about to leave, and said firmly, ”Right now, anyone can leave the Liuzhou Region, except for you!”

”Zhou Mu betrothed you with all his property as a dowry, entrusting all his everything to you. If you abandon Liuzhou Region now to follow him to Liaodong, have you forgotten those Vassal Kings at the Imperial Court, eyeing you like tigers?” Mr. Ban Shan said gravely, ”With you here, Liuzhou Region is safe; if you leave, Liuzhou Region will be headless, and Zhou Mu’s rear, where he has established himself, will undoubtedly be thrown into chaos!”

”No! No! Foster Father please help me, help me keep Liuzhou Region safe, let me go to Liaodong, please?” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng shook her head frantically, turning back to grab her foster father and begged.

”Daughter, don’t be foolish! Even if I have the ability to stabilize Liuzhou, I don’t have the authority to command it!” Mr. Ban Shan shook his head upon hearing this, ”Within the Liuzhou Region, from Court Officials to the military and civilians, everyone looks up to you and Zhou Mu equally, only the two of you are followed. If you leave, even I might not be able to control Liuzhou Region!”

”Then what should I do? What about the evildoer’s injuries? What if something happens to him on the battlefield?” Gu Changsheng asked in a fluster, tears quickly spreading.

She rarely cried because she knew tears were a sign of weakness, and weakness solved nothing!

But now, she couldn’t help it!

Her mind was in turmoil, full of anxiety. She couldn’t control herself!

She urgently wanted to see the evildoer, to make sure he was unharmed!

”Zhou Mu is a military genius that comes once in a millennium, even with injuries, he will be able to return safely! Going to Liaodong is absolutely out of the question!” Mr. Ban Shan said in a stern voice.

”Yes! My lord, you must stay within the Liuzhou Region, with your presence here, even those ambitious Vassal Kings at the Imperial Court wouldn’t dare to make a move!” Jiang One and Yhan Ting appeared at the entrance of the Dining Hall!

The two walked in, immediately kneeling on one knee, Jiang One spoke gravely, ”My lord, the power struggles at the Imperial Court are treacherous, and every situation is fraught with peril. While his lordship leads the army on the front lines and can hardly keep up, it is only you, my lord! Only you can stabilize the Liuzhou Region, see through the court’s intrigue, and ensure that our lord has nothing to worry about!”

”No! What about his injuries? I’ve seen for myself the skills of your military doctors, and those are grenade wounds—he was hurt by a grenade. How could they handle it?” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng shook his head worriedly, ”I need to see him, no matter what, I must be with him!”

”My lord! His injuries are not as severe as you imagine. I personally treated his wounds, and all the medicines used were made by you, Lady Changsheng. With his profound inner strength, such injuries cannot hurt him fundamentally!” Hearing this, Yhan Ting immediately spoke, ”Please, my lord, consider the overall situation and remain safely in Liuzhou City!”

Gu Changsheng stepped back in a panic at these words, ”You don’t need to comfort me. I personally created the grenades, and no one knows their power better than I do! The inner strength I unleashed at the moment of self-detonation was amassed over decades, and he just recklessly collided with it!”

”The residual poison, external injuries, internal injuries! Despite this, he still dares to lead troops into battle! It’s all because of me! If it weren’t for me killing Jin Linyuan, he wouldn’t have had to go to Liaodong! It’s all my fault!”

”My lord! You and his lordship have already set a marriage engagement. Even for your sake, he will certainly return safely! Do not worry undue, my lord!” Seeing her like this, Jiang One spoke up urgently, with furrowed brows.

”Yes, my daughter! If you stay secure in Liuzhou, the front lines will be safe! I will not let you go to Liaodong. If you are truly worried about Zhou Mu, you can refine some medicinal ingredients and send them to Liaodong!” Mr. Ban Shan also hastily patted Gu Changsheng’s back, whispering words of comfort.

”Refining pills! Yes, refining pills! I can refine medicine for him!” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s eyes suddenly lit up with hope, ”I can definitely heal him! I will absolutely cure him!”

Amid the comforting voices of everyone around her, Gu Changsheng’s restless and anxious heart finally began to calm down gradually.

”Yhan Ting, hand over the affairs of Baili Mountain to Jiang Liu, General Qi, and Diao Chan. I want you to rush to Liaodong!” Gu Changsheng waved her hand at Yhan Ting and then, with her red clothes swirling, dashed towards the Medicine Tower.

Making medicine was what she did best!

There were priorities in every matter; she could not leave Liuzhou, could not go to Liaodong, could not stand side by side with him in battle!

Then she will heal him!

Watching Gu Changsheng’s departing figure, the crowd in the hall exchanged glances.

None of them had expected the always resolute Lady Changsheng to be so easily persuaded!

”This daughter of mine is the most rational. If not for her concern for Zhou Mu, she wouldn’t have become so troubled. Ah!” Mr. Ban Shan spoke in a deep voice, his face a picture of helplessness, ”A grown daughter cannot be kept at home forever! Yhan Ting, go to Baili Mountain and make arrangements, then come here to take the medicine!”

”Yes, sir!” Upon hearing this, Yhan Ting immediately responded and departed.

”Sir, is the lady truly giving up on the idea of going to Liaodong to find his lordship?” Jiang One looked worriedly towards the direction of the Medicine Tower and turned to ask Mr. Ban Shan, ”If the lady insists on going to Liaodong, with her cultivation, we wouldn’t be able to stop her!”

Mr. Ban Shan shook his head at these words, ”No, she won’t! She’s cunning and certainly understands the importance of staying in the Liuzhou Region. Even for Zhou Mu, she would not leave on her own accord!”

”That’s a relief! With that, I can rest easy!” Upon hearing this, Jiang One finally breathed a sigh of relief.

”The Three Borders are in turmoil, the battle in Liaodong all started because of her. Keep a close eye on movements from the Capital City. The moment something is amiss, report to her immediately!” Mr. Ban Shan spoke gravely, waving his hand dismissively, ”Be off!”

”Yes!” Jiang One’s expression turned solemn upon hearing this and he exited promptly.

Meanwhile, Gu Changsheng was buried in a heap of medicinal herbs, frantically busy at work.

”Blast injuries! Blast injuries! Which herbs are the best for treating blast injuries?” As Gu Changsheng rifled through the medicinal herbs, she racked her brains tirelessly.

At this moment, she truly regretted having invented the grenades!

If it hadn’t been for that, the evildoer wouldn’t have been injured!

”Heehee... Has the person you want to Dual Cultivate with been injured?” A soft, sticky voice echoed in her mind, carrying a trace of schadenfreude.

”Shut your mouth!” With the medicinal herbs in hand next to the pill furnace, Gu Changsheng scolded angrily.

”Waaaah... you’re scolding me! I was just trying to help with good intentions! Waaaah... you’re scolding me... you’re scolding me...” In her mind, a blood-red Little Bug suddenly sat on the ground, crying and rolling around in a tantrum.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng stopped in her tracks, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes, ”You can help me? Tell me, what should I do?”

Gu Changsheng didn’t quite know how to categorize the existence of this Little Bug within her body!

All in all, it was pseudoscientific! And quite magical!

Its abilities exceeded the scientific understanding of Gu Changsheng!

”I won’t tell! I’m still sad! I don’t want to help you anymore! I’m going to find a place to cry properly, I won’t bother with you!” The soft voice spoke with a full sense of grievance, ”I saw you worried and sad, I intended to offer my help out of goodwill, and you scolded me! Waah...”

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng quickly threw down the herbs in her hands, clasped her hands in prayer, ”Good Bug, dear Bug, it was my fault, I shouldn’t have scolded you! Tell me, how can I help him, please?”
