Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 811: Chapter 640: I Don’t Want Any of Them

Gu Changsheng clicked her tongue at the words, and couldn’t help but have a small flame spark in her eyes when she looked at Wuchang Yue.

Darn kid! The fabric was only woven in March, just how long ago did you start plotting against me?

Have to say, these two sets of clothes, are incredibly beautiful, capturing all earthly elegance!

If you like something, you should claim it as your own!

However, the meaning behind these clothes carries far more weight than the clothes themselves!

The reason she reclaimed Great Swamp Mountain but didn’t open Phoenix Flying Peak was because she hesitated. Southern Border, with its endless desolate mountains and millions of citizens, even Gu Changsheng wasn’t sure she could handle it all!

The path of a ruler is destined to be lonely; supreme power brings with it the chill of solitude at the heights!

This was not what Gu Changsheng desired!

What she wished for was merely the companionship of family, a life of harmony...

If the weight of a country pressed on her shoulders, then everything would change!

What awaited her would no longer be the life a normal person should have, but a lonely path of a ruler!

Gu Changsheng lowered her eyes. Once upon a time, she hesitated because the evildoer might stabilize the King of Great Zhou, and now she found herself first fearing it!

The world is unpredictable, fate toys with people!

Heavenly Father really knows how to mess with you!

”Well... these two sets of clothes are extremely beautiful...” Under the scorching gaze of Wuchang Yue and Hongyan Jiaojiao, Gu Changsheng finally opened up with a deflection.

Just keep dodging! A masterful deflection can delay things for as long as possible!

”My lord, the crown of my Southern Border is forged from the Heavenly Water Bead.”

”Cousin, my crown of Bashu is inlaid with the Heavenly Witch’s Soul!”

”My lord, my Southern Border’s territory is rich and boundless for ten thousand miles!”

”Cousin, my Bashu’s towering mountains stretch into infinity!”

”My lord, my Southern Border has millions of citizens.”

”My Bashu’s people are all soldiers.”

”My Southern Border...”

”My Bashu...”

”...”

”...”

A taller and a shorter person, neither giving way, confronted each other like fire and smoke.

Each taking turns to speak, full of gunpowder, ready to fight at any moment with a disagreement!

”You’re bullying with age and power!” Wuchang Yue’s face reddened.

”You’re relying on youth and kinship to pressure others!” Hongyan Jiaojiao refused to relent.

”You...”

”You...”

The smoldering anger continued to escalate.

Even the witches brought by Wuchang Yue started facing off against the female officials beside Hongyan Jiaojiao!

The air was thick with gunpowder, it looked like they were about to start a fight!

”Everybody, shut the hell up!” Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Changsheng finally slapped the seat and shouted, ”Is this ever going to end? Competing over the imperial robe, then the crown, then the territory, what next, are you going to start comparing feats?”

”Hmph! Compare we shall! This Heavenly Witch fears no one!” Wuchang Yue raised her head proudly.

”This is still Southern Border’s domain, who fears whom!” Hongyan Jiaojiao glared angrily.

”Keep arguing and get out!” Gu Changsheng roared, ”If you won’t leave, I will!”

Seriously, is it worth it? The battlefront isn’t settled, and here the managers of these Southwest nations are tearing at each other like dogs!

Ugh!

After yelling, Gu Changsheng stood up, truly intending to leave.

Wuchang Yue and Hongyan Jiaojiao, seeing this, immediately fell silent.

Having successfully silenced the two, Gu Changsheng sighed, ”I say, what exactly are you thinking? Forcing the duck onto the perch, at least wait until it’s plump, isn’t it? Can I fly now or what, do you really need to start bickering so anxiously?”

Seeing their unyielding stance, Gu Changsheng, the one identified as the duck, realized she’d have to fend off their badgering today.

Wuchang Yue and Hongyan Jiaojiao exchanged a glance, the meaning in their eyes unmistakable.

”Hurry!”

”Hurry!”

They spoke in unison, no longer having the look of wanting to quarrel as before.

How could they not be anxious? They hadn’t forgotten that their new master in front of them had an unmarried fiancé in the Central Plains!

Seeing that their new master had no ambition to recover the Central Plains, how could they watch her be lured away by a man?

This was definitely urgent!

”Well! On this point, you two are quite in sync! Since that’s the case, let’s discuss...” Gu Changsheng sat down again, raised an eyebrow, and spoke, ”Although the war at the front is tense and critical, I’m sure you two won’t back down without a guarantee today. I only ask you, what are you worried about?”

”Xiao Yueyue, although you’re young, you’ve managed Bashu quite well. The chaos in Southern Chen, even if it has caused damage, is not enough to harm the bones of Bashu. What are you afraid of?” Gu Changsheng remembered vividly how Bashu’s people were all soldiers.

After saying this, Gu Changsheng turned to look at Hongyan Jiaojiao, ”Hongyan, the disaster in the Southern Border began because of me, but at most it slaughtered a few cities. I didn’t touch one traitor in the Three Palaces and Six Halls of the Southern Border, the power system is still in place. What are you rushing for?”

Gu Changsheng sighed here, continuing spiritedly, ”The operation of a country can’t change drastically because of one more person, nor can it collapse because I’m absent. The world would still turn without anyone, a ruler only interferes in key decisions, doesn’t personally handle everything. Although I’ve reclaimed the Southern Border, I haven’t moved anyone in its core power, ignoring the idea of a new ruler, new court, or a new official starting with three fires, just to keep the original operation mode of the Southern Border!”

At this point, Gu Changsheng raised her head, looking at everyone in the hall, and spoke solemnly, ”To be honest, Changsheng has no ambition to dominate the world, nor did I have the desire to become king. As a woman, I have a family and children, and many unfinished matters. God has blessed me, Gu Changsheng, for I finally met my father as father and daughter. Although my mother has passed, there is a slim chance of survival. By exhausting all my efforts throughout my life, even if I have to tread every dangerous land, I will ensure my mother’s rebirth and reunite my parents! The grace of birth is greater than the sky, and the grace of shelter greater than the earth, as a daughter of man, I have no choice!”

”Whether it’s the Southern Border or Bashu, with or without me, there won’t be any major changes. For me, this boundless power is a shackle that binds me. Once I quell the rebellion in Southern Chen and return peace to the Southwest, all you need is a little rest and you’ll be back to normal, isn’t that quite good?”

Why must she rise to that position?

The higher it is, the colder it gets, that’s an invisible chain!

Once she ascends, who will find a way to save her mother? And between her and the evildoer, with the mountains standing in their way, how can they create a lasting bond?

”My Lord...”

”Cousin...”

Hearing this, Hongyan Jiaojiao and Wuchang Yue were bewildered.

The two factions in the hall were also stunned.

The Divine Soul of the King of Witch Gu, it truly scared them!

They were fighting to take a king back after all, but what was the meaning of this person they were fighting over?

Not two options, but clearly neither was valued and neither was wanted!

For a moment, everyone in the hall was in chaos, with a look of panic on their faces!

It exceeded all their expectations!

The throne! The supreme throne!

Just like that, it was despised? Compared to snakes and scorpions?

This...

”Haha... My Lord, you must be joking...” Hongyan Jiaojiao laughed awkwardly.

”Do I look like someone joking?” Gu Changsheng glared, responding without hesitation.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

”Cousin...maybe we should discuss...” Seeing her chance for graceful retreat, Wuchang Yue compromised unwillingly, her little face full of helpless smiles, ”Cousin, look at how beautiful these two royal robes are, they match your looks and figure perfectly. Would you consider trying them on, uh...both?”

”Right, right!” Hongyan Jiaojiao quickly agreed, speaking urgently, ”Little Witch Lord is right, these were tailor-made for you, My Lord. Do you want to try them on? We guarantee you’ll be the most beautiful in the world, unmatched! Just try them on! You see, Bashu’s king’s robe is light, it can be an inner or outer garment, Southern Border’s imperial robe is heavy, wearing them together is complementary, and absolutely stunning! Absolutely stunning!”

Damn it, stop fighting, in the end neither will win if you keep fighting!

Wuchang Yue and Hongyan Jiaojiao, in just a blink, balanced the pros and cons and united against their new master who was about to drop everything!

Their new master seemed genuinely fascinated by the two royal robes earlier, they saw it clearly, so they acted from there!

”Do you really think I’m a fool?” Gu Changsheng frowned, looking at the persistent two, ”Even if I’m uncultured, I’ve heard of the phrase ’robes of a king’, these two garments are beautiful, but apparently not as light and easy to wear as you say!”

Gu Changsheng was absolutely sure that once she wore these two royal robes, she’d probably be stuck for life!

”Haha...cousin, what you’re saying, easy or not is just two clothes, even if they’re luxurious. But cousin, as a royal member of the Witch and Gu tribes, wearing them suits you well, suits you well...” Wuchang Yue mumbled, twisting her chubby little fingers.

”Indeed, indeed! The Wuchang Lineage and Phoenix Lineage, in relation to the Witch and Gu tribes, are so honorable. These garments are fitting for you, My Lord!” Hongyan Jiaojiao agreed.

”Keep making up stuff, keep it coming! These clothes are extremely beautiful, though I’m tempted, still, I won’t wear them! Just save it, I won’t abandon Bashu and Southern Border, but I also don’t want to be bound to a throne, forever unable to smile!” Gu Changsheng twitched her mouth, speaking lightly.

Damn it, just praised to the sky, and now say it’s insignificant, she’d be crazy to believe it!

These two, truly exemplary and persistent, using every trick in the book, employing both soft and hard tactics!

Especially this little Yueyue, seeming so young, but having served as a Witch Lord, her cunning, Gu Changsheng thought, compared to her little meat bun at home, would be more than enough to sell him several times over...

As Gu Changsheng’s words fell, Wuchang Yue and Hongyan Jiaojiao exchanged a glance...
