Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 654: Chapter 500: The Little Meat Bun Is Kidnapped

Who was reading the imperial edict, Gu Changsheng hadn’t seen clearly!

She felt as if she were in a fog, and the people around her offering prayers and congratulations were indistinct to her ears, she could only hear back the content of the imperial edict...

Prince Changsheng... Commandery Prince Yaoyao...

The betrothal gifts he promised her had actually come true! And it was announced to all under heaven!

Accepting the imperial edict was the bride-price ceremony!

The ancient rites were complex, and Gu Changsheng felt as if she were on a cloud, with a sense of not knowing what the night would bring.

During the entire bride-price ceremony, she didn’t know how many mistakes she made, only constantly hearing a man’s deep and magnetic, helpless sigh by her ear, and then her actions were interrupted and corrected by him...

Outside the residence, the sound of ritual music and voices of congratulation never ceased, Uncle Song holding a huge basket, tossing strings of wedding money out, laughing so hard that his eyes disappeared, tears streaming down!

His lady, the lady treasured by the Old Grand Master as a pearl, was betrothed again!

And this time, his lady was sure to have a blissful and beautiful life!

Old Grand Master in heaven could rest peacefully now!

The gilded marriage letter, encased in an Imperial Brocade Red Envelope, was delivered into the hands of the clan elder who, seeing the woman before him, nodded in satisfaction.

To tell the truth, this woman, aside from her birth and having been married before, doesn’t fall short in any aspect compared to the noble ladies of Capital City, and in fact, surpasses them!

With a reputation as the Medicine God, renowned across the Four Kingdoms, self-made with a fortune worth tens of thousands, which noble lady could match this?

Looking at the woman dressed in the Dragon Patterned Imperial Robe, the clan elder nodded again, such a capable woman becoming a Clan Lady, once standing by the phoenix throne, would also be of great benefit to Great Zhou!

With this, her birth could be overlooked!

This marriage letter, he needed to take back to Capital City, to be enshrined in the Zhou Family’s clan temple; only if there were no doubts in three months would it be recognized by the ancestors and he could then fix the wedding date!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t remember how many tokens of meeting she had received, mostly from Zhou Mu’s side, they all brought gifts!

The most excessive was from the Emperor himself! Pearls and jades in hundreds of loads, every load had to pass through her hands, nearly breaking her wrists!

What was the meaning of this? Was it encouraging his Imperial Grandson’s whimsical betrothal gift and then using the meeting tokens to overwhelm her?

That’s what Gu Changsheng believed in her heart!

The sounds of joyous phoenix and dragon music filled her ears, the whole of Liuzhou City was enveloped in joyous festivity.

One region, two princes, one little prince; ask the world, who else?

The city’s citizens rushed to the streets, spreading the news, the scene more spectacular than even the New Year!

The Gu Residence was filled with people all beaming with joy, laughing until their mouths couldn’t close!

Yet amidst the joy, in a secluded alley, a terrifying blood battle was unfolding!

”Let him go!” Yue Jianjia spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her longsword pressing against a group of people dressed in black.

”Aunt Jianjia, Peacock, Lion, and Tiger! Peacock, Lion, and Tiger!” Held in the arms of a group, with a longsword at his throat, the little dumpling looked in horror at Yue Xilou lying on the ground.

Blood! So much blood! Was his Peacock, Lion, and Tiger going to die?

Was he about to die to save him?

Yue Jianjia glanced at Yue Xilou lying on the ground, a fierce flash in her eyes.

”Don’t mind me, save him!” A large amount of fresh blood spilled from Yue Xilou’s mouth, he looked panicked at the group in black clothing, Xiao Gu Ze was still in their hands!

After hearing this, a look of pain crossed her eyes, but even if it cost her life, she had to save the child, because he was Gu Changsheng’s son, wasn’t he?

If it was his wish, how could she go against it?

”Let him go!” Without stopping her hands, Yue Jianjia again leaped towards the group.

All Liuzhou City was celebrating the bride-price ceremony of Zhou Mu and Gu Changsheng, with fireworks flooding the sky and music resonating everywhere, her distress signal got lost in the luminance of the fireworks!

No reinforcements!

They had no reinforcements!

”Aunt Jianjia, don’t mind me, save my Peacock, Lion, and Tiger! Save my Peacock, Lion, and Tiger! Take him back to mother! Take him back!” The little dumpling’s face was covered in tears, his neck slightly moved, and a longsword cut a streak of blood, he pleaded looking at Yue Jianjia fighting bloodily to save him, shouting loudly.

This alley had already seen many deaths, bodies everywhere, the air thick with the stench of blood.

The little dumpling knew, they were targeting him!

The sounds of the fight continued, Yue Jianjia had only one goal; to rescue this child, the son of her romantic rival!

Because, that’s what Yue Xilou hoped for!

Whatever he wanted to do, she would do for him, even if it meant sacrificing her life, she would not hesitate!

”Stop fighting! Stop fighting! I’ll go with you! Let them go!” As a sword pierced through Yue Jianjia’s shoulder, Xiao Bao suddenly widened his eyes in terror, his chubby little hands grabbing the longsword at his neck, declaring resolutely, ”Isn’t it me you want? Let them go, or I’ll die right now!”

The little hands were instantly cut by the longsword as Xiao Bao pressed it against his neck!

Mother said, every person must die once, be it as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai, he chose to be Mount Tai, he didn’t want to involve others!

”Stop!” The emphasized shout of the Foreign Tribe rose, the masked woman holding Xiao Bao glanced at him, ordered in a deep voice, her gaze piercingly fixed on Yue Jianjia, ”Go back and tell Gu Changsheng if he wants his son, he must come to the Southern Border!”

”Puff!” The sword through the shoulder was suddenly withdrawn, Yue Jianjia’s figure swayed, she steadied herself with the longsword on the ground, lifting her head to look at the child.

”Aunt Jianjia, go! Hurry, go! You can’t beat them! Hurry!” Xiao Bao, his face filled with panic, his small body trembling, screamed with all his might.

Upon hearing this, Yue Jianjia’s expression sharpened, a hint of blurriness appearing before her eyes from the blood loss.

These People in Black, they truly are masters!

Rare masters of this world!

Watching Xiao Bao being held by those people, quickly disappearing at the end of the alley, Yue Xilou, in panic, stretched out a hand, ”Gu Ze...” then vomited a mouthful of fresh blood and fainted...

”Xilou!” Yue Jianjia, hearing the commotion and hesitating whether to continue chasing, turned back in alarm and saw Yue Xilou collapsed in a pool of blood.

The longsword in her hand instantly dropped, Yue Jianjia, struck with horror, turned back, stumbling towards Yue Xilou.

She could run no more...

With the intense pain from wounds all over her body and the fresh blood flowing from her shoulder, Yue Jianjia fell and then got up again, finally reaching Yue Xilou’s side, shakily lifting his head, hesitatingly stretching out a finger...

There was still breath... a faint, almost imperceptible breath...

With so many master fighters attacking, Yue Xilou had already been gravely injured by the time she had found him...

Yue Jianjia didn’t know where she found the strength, she only knew that she must take him back to Gu Residence, only Gu Changsheng could save him...

”Xilou, hang in there, she will definitely save you... you must hang in there...” Every step was excruciatingly painful, but Yue Jianjia couldn’t stop, she had to keep going! She had to head towards Gu Residence...

The city was filled with joyous color, red brocade billowing in the air...

A blood-soaked woman, carrying a similarly blood-covered man, staggered forward leaving bloodied footprints...

...

”Hey! Gu Changsheng, the bride-price ceremony is over, and you’re still out of it?” Borjigin Nian tapped the distracted Gu Changsheng, teasingly started, ”What all did you mess up today, look how embarrassed you are, it’s just becoming a prince, look at you, lacking in spirit...”

”Uh...” Gu Changsheng absent-mindedly responded.

Today had brought too many surprises, he was still feeling bewildered...

”Gu Changsheng, from now on, you are the ruler of Liuzhou Region, the rightful fiance of my senior brother...” Borjigin Nian said, not without some loss, ”Your lifelong affair is settled, and I still don’t know if I can wait...”

Zhou Mu’s fiancee? Was she really Zhou Mu’s fiancee now?

Rightful and proper...

She liked that phrase!

But why, though it was clearly a happy occasion, did she always feel uneasy...

Was it because Zhou Mu could not escape that position, could that be why?

”Congratulations, my lady, ah no, from now on, should I call you Her Royal Highness the Princess!” Si Xi cheerfully said.

”Don’t change it, I’m not used to it!” Gu Changsheng blankly interrupted, ”Has everyone left the banquet at home?”

Her and Zhou Mu’s bride-price ceremony, the number of guests who came to offer congratulations was unimaginable, luckily her residence was large, or they really wouldn’t know where to hold the banquet.

”They have already left, my son-in-law and the master are ahead seeing off guests!” Si Xi laughed.

At this, Gu Changsheng nodded, ”Anything happen in the residence today? Why is my heart so restless?”

”What could happen, the house is full of laughter and joy, everyone is cheerful, my lady you’re worrying too much!” Si Xi replied while helping his lady with her makeup.

”Gu Changsheng, have you joyously lost your senses, from my point of view, you’re just so happy you’re going crazy, that’s why!” Looking at her unwell complexion, Borjigin Nian laughed and said, ”But really, this is just the bride-price ceremony, it’s so complicated, what will happen when it’s the actual wedding? It’s killing me, this engagement and wedding business really isn’t for mere mortals, look how tired you are, your face has gone pale!”

”It’s not because she’s tired that her face has gone pale, my lady is clearly hungry, her face has gone pale! She hasn’t eaten anything since morning!” Xiao Cui walked in carrying a tray, ”Xiao Leizi just cooked some special food, my lady you should eat something, lest you starve and end up holding your belly and making a fuss! Hee hee...”

Seeing the tray filled with delicious-looking food, Gu Changsheng’s stomach disgracefully grumbled, ignoring the teasing of those in the room, she eagerly started to eat voraciously.

But while eating, Gu Changsheng suddenly furrowed her brows, ”Do you smell blood?”

”Blood? Where?” Si Xi leaned in, ”Could it be Xiao Leizi didn’t cook the meat properly?”

”No, the smell of blood, a strong smell of blood! Back door!” Gu Changsheng shouted lowly, her red dress flashing as she flew towards the back door...
