Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 827: Chapter 655: How Dare You Insult My Husband

That ghastly face is none other than Hongyan Jiaojiao!

At this moment, she is sitting on a chair below, her face full of sorrow and indecision!

”Sov... Sovereign...” After hesitating for a long time, Hongyan Jiaojiao finally mustered the courage to interrupt Gu Changsheng’s contemplation.

On the Dragon and Phoenix Chair above, Gu Changsheng, who was listening to reports of distant battles and slaughters, barely audibly responded, ”Hmm?”

This faint response was almost inaudible, so tranquil and extreme, yet Hongyan Jiaojiao’s body trembled.

”Min... Minister...” Her lips trembled uncontrollably, and Hongyan Jiaojiao looked constipated.

”Oh dear, Hongyan Divine Being, what is this expression?” Borjigin Nian couldn’t help but speak, looking schadenfreudic, ”In my opinion, you should listen to your Sovereign and find a place to hide early. There’s no wall in the world without a crack; my senior brother will find out sooner or later. By then, you’ll want to run but won’t be able to!”

”I...” Hongyan Jiaojiao was aggrieved.

To be honest, she very much wanted to find a place to hide; that was someone already nearing the Transformative Realm!

Hongyan Jiaojiao, having lived through three dynasties, naturally had more insight than others. She had heard of the Transformative Realm legend in the Central Plains. It was said that since ancient times, the Central Plains were not lacking in martial cultivators, who pursued the ultimate realm of Great Accomplishment Transformative Realm. It was rumored that upon reaching that realm, the soul was no longer bound by the physical body; even if the body died of old age, the soul could still find a new host. Although not truly immortal, it was nearly akin to it, existing infinitely close to divinity, and their strength was self-explanatory!

Like the lineage of the Human God Esoteric Sect Shang Clan, although passed down from the End of the Ancient Wilderness, it was only a matter of bloodline succession, the physical body would still age and die!

Such beings equating to robbing heaven’s creations for cultivation were rare, barely one in a thousand years, mostly hidden world experts, and yet, one just happened to cross her path, and they seemed to have made a remarkable mistake!

Hongyan Jiaojiao’s hesitation and indecision finally made Gu Changsheng aware of something amiss, her phoenix eyes narrowed, she turned back, ”Hongyan, are you hiding something from me?”

”Min... Minister is just a bit worried.” Hongyan Jiaojiao was almost tearful from anxiety.

”Worried about what?” Her phoenix eyes were like lightning, Gu Changsheng looked at Hongyan Jiaojiao with suspicion and uncertainty.

”Celestial Tome Messenger... Minister is worried, can my in-laws still return?” Hongyan Jiaojiao spoke with a pale face.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s heart trembled, and she immediately rose from her chair, thinking of Hongfu Su, Hongyan Jiaojiao’s in-laws!

Truth be told, from the day she donned the Imperial Robe, it had been quite a while since she last saw Hongfu Su!

A shock in her heart, Gu Changsheng suddenly had a bad premonition!

”Speak!” Her voice was thunderous, and Gu Changsheng’s eyes fixed on Hongyan Jiaojiao, rendering her with nowhere to hide.

”My in-law, she went to that small country in the Zhou Dynasty to deliver a message. Although she is not the messenger heading to the Northern border, based on my old knowledge of her, she would surely go to the Northern border after passing the Celestial Tome to the Zhou Dynasty’s Imperial Capital...” under Gu Changsheng’s pressure, Hongyan Jiaojiao, bowing her head, had lost her usual calm.

”Hongfu Su went to deliver the Celestial Tome? It’s just a Celestial Tome, it shouldn’t put her in peril, right? How could she not return? What are you hiding from me? Speak quickly!” Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened. An old minister skilled at manipulation lower herself to become a Celestial Tome Messenger just as she ascended the throne, was not normal! It was extremely abnormal!

If something is unusual, there must be an evildoer. Gu Changsheng instinctively thought, damn, there was definitely a ghost!

Her premonition of unease intensified!

”Her... Her aside from delivering the Celestial Tome, also expressed our Southwest’s desire to welcome Your Sovereign’s fiancé, intending to enthrone... enthrone the Imperial Consort.”

”Pfft!”

”What?”

Borjigin Nian instantly sprayed a mouthful of tea, and Gu Changsheng also stood up from the chair upon hearing this.

”Imperial Consort? Imperial Consort? Haha... you’ll be the death of me! Hongyan Divine Being, you really dare!” Borjigin Nian looked at Hongyan Jiaojiao with eyes as if she had seen a monster, it was all kinds of shock.

”You!” Gu Changsheng reached out and grabbed Hongyan Jiaojiao to her front, tugging at her chest garment, looking down, exasperated and speechless.

”Sovereign, we truly mean well. Whether it’s my Southern Border or Bashu, having multiple husbands is common, even more so for the Sovereign? Although we disdain the lowly Central Plains populace, we couldn’t bear to see Your Sovereign’s desires unfulfilled, so we passed this idea along...” Hongyan Jiaojiao changed color and hurriedly explained.

”My intentions fell through? You’re afraid your intentions fell through, aren’t you? You really have guts, making such a mess!” Gu Changsheng raged, throwing Hongyan Jiaojiao to the ground.

Hongyan Jiaojiao climbed up, knelt, silent as a cicada in winter.

Oh heavens, on the day we met at Red Rock Mountain, she didn’t see the sovereign’s fiancé take action. Who knew he could be that strong?

Already at the Transformative Realm!

Scared to death!

If she had known, she definitely wouldn’t have made that decision arbitrarily along with those old ministers.

”If you’re not courting death, you won’t die! Are you afraid I’ll fulfill the marriage contract and leave the Southwest Land? What does your Southwest’s many husbands for one wife have to do with me?” Gu Changsheng paced back and forth, extremely annoyed, ”The marriage contract between me and the evildoer began before anything even started, it has nothing to do with the Southwest! Nothing to do with you! Even if the Southern Chen invades Bashu borrowing an excuse, I’m duty-bound as a descendant of Phoenix Witch Chang to vent the millennia-old grudge, even though I sit in this position with reluctance, I know that being in this position will mean being forced at times. When the Imperial Robe was upon me, what did you promise me? You promised me freedom, yet you turned around and now wish to meddle in my private affairs!”

”Hongyan, you all shut yourselves off and stubbornly insisted, and this disaster you’ve stirred up couldn’t be bigger!” Gu Changsheng glared, ”I have no ambition for the Central Plains, at least not now! The Southern Border has had two internal turmoils in over twenty years, though they didn’t damage the core, they still need time to recover; Southern Border Bashu needs time to return to its pinnacle, and I, I’ll make the Southwest Land achieve extreme prosperity in my hands, overlooking all directions, but don’t think you can control me!”

”Sovereign...” Hongyan Jiaojiao timidly responded upon hearing.

Red lights sparkled, splendid clothing gleamed, Gu Changsheng turned back, ”Hongyan, the evildoer’s natural talents and fame aren’t unfounded in the Central Plains! How could the man I, Gu Changsheng, choose be mediocre? Let me tell you, if not for the stubborn poison lingering in him, he would have already reached Great Accomplishment Transformative Realm before the age of twenty! Even though now he’s lingering at the edge of Great Accomplishment, my Southwest’s messenger and Gale Gu can’t last a single move under him!”

”Sovereign, save me!” Hongyan Jiaojiao exclaimed in shock.

”Save you? He’s far away at the Northern border battling Northern Mongolia Liaodong, thousands of miles away. How do you expect me to save you?” Gu Changsheng sat back down, looking defeated, ”Hongyan, I’ve always known, the Witch and Gu Tribes are highly self-regarding. But I never expected you all to be so closed-off to this extent; you haven’t seen the evildoer wield his blade like chopping vegetables, slicing down countless Gu insects with his knife, otherwise, you wouldn’t have acted so arrogantly today!”

Even in modern times, Gu Changsheng, in the army, knew many secrets. In the mundane world, there are numerous ancient martial cultivators, Great Accomplishment people aren’t rare, just like her father who practices Qimen mysterious learning; without certain achievements, he wouldn’t be able to contain Manman’s divine soul. In ancient times, outstanding figures could steal the secrets of heaven, even the descendant Human God Little Monk Bu Jie didn’t dare underestimate the evildoer, showing his achievements!

Those old ministers in the Southwest really vexed her!

”To establish him as Imperial Consort? Imperial Consort! Such an insult to him, he certainly won’t be at peace, he won’t hold back his anger...” Gu Changsheng muttered dazedly, remembering the evildoer’s anger; she’s only seen it once, cutting vegetables like a demon, a terrifying image that still haunts her.

”Sovereign...” Hongyan Jiaojiao prostrated.

”When I met him, I had neither wealth nor power; he gave everything to protect and propose to me. Since I’ve acknowledged him, then it’s him! Whether in life or death, there’s no reason to betray him!” Gu Changsheng turned back, looking at Hongyan Jiaojiao on the ground, ”My son was captured to the Southern Border, facing the Witch and Gu Tribes, with his fate uncertain; yet he abandoned his princely status, willingly bearing infamy for a treacherous nation accompanying me, bringing disaster to the Great Zhou for my sake. Hongyan, when I rose in the Southern Border, how dare you insult my husband like this and still dare ask me to save someone?”

The word ”husband” struck like lightning, leaving Hongyan Jiaojiao dumbfounded.

Gu Changsheng raised her head, as though looking through the royal tent into the Cangqiong, murmuring lowly, ”Actually, I wanted more to be Prince Changsheng of Great Zhou, protected by him, defying the heavens...”

Hongyan Jiaojiao upon hearing, instantly collapsed to the ground, speaking in panic, ”Sovereign! Sovereign! The Southwest can’t be without the Sovereign! Sovereign, don’t scare me!”

”I’m not scaring you!” Gu Changsheng responded coldly, ”Since I wore this King’s Robe, I never thought of escaping responsibility. I’ll keep my word, I won’t leave the Southwest neglected, but you, don’t think you can control my life!”

”Phew...” Upon hearing, Hongyan Jiaojiao breathed a long sigh of relief, knelt again, looking up hopefully, ”Sovereign, then Hongfu Su...”

Gu Changsheng glared upon hearing, ”You still dare to speak! Self-imposed isolation and audacious recklessness brought you this deadly disaster, it’s your own fault! The evildoer, once angered, will show no mercy beneath his sword, weren’t you just thinking of intimidating him? Now, savor the consequences yourself with those old ministers!”

”Sovereign!” Hongyan Jiaojiao was about to plead.

”Get out!”

Said Gu Changsheng with a light shout, raising her hand and flipping the flap of the royal tent!

The royal tent quieted down, Gu Changsheng was still angry.

Even Borjigin Nian cowered silently on the side, not daring to provoke her.

A dragon has its reverse scale, touch it and you’ll die; Gu Changsheng was Zhou Mu’s reverse scale, and Zhou Mu was equally Gu Changsheng’s reverse scale?

Gu Changsheng’s blazing fury spread instantly across the Southwest Great Camp after Hongyan Jiaojiao was expelled from the royal tent. Everyone was silent as cicadas, not daring to breathe...
