Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 866: Chapter 688: I’m Such a Gentle Lady

Southern Border Bashu, the fortress held for a thousand years. Others might not know, but as the head of Great Zhou, he understands it very well. The wealth accumulated in that region, he doesn’t even dare to imagine. Besides, he has reclaimed Southern Chen, a rival in national strength!

The wealth of Gu Changsheng’s family has already overwhelmed more than half of the world!

Alas!

Emperor Zhoulin sighed towards the sky, suddenly feeling like an old steed at rest, with nowhere to exert his strength.

As Gu Changsheng and Mr. Ban Shan had their father-daughter reunion, locking eyes without obstruction, the people of Capital City across the ruins were also watching her...

In those eyes, there was amazement, envy, and fear...

In short, those gazes were indeed quite complex!

Gu Changsheng thought for a moment, twitched her little nose, and respectfully bowed slightly towards Emperor Zhoulin, saying, ”Changsheng greets Your Majesty. May Your Majesty have good health.”

”This is not right!” Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhoulin was jolted back from his trance and instantly hopped to the side, his movements very agile.

Who is Gu Changsheng? She was once a subject of Great Zhou and is now his granddaughter-in-law who has yet to enter the family, but she is still the Southern Emperor!

As for the rites towards the Southern Emperor, to be honest, in terms of national power, Zhoulin cannot withstand it!

Not only cannot withstand, but quite the opposite, as the Emperor of Great Zhou, he should be the one saluting a powerful emperor!

Bowing to a granddaughter-in-law who hasn’t entered the family yet, Zhoulin feels somewhat aggrieved just thinking about it!

It’s almost like he mistakenly had a granddaughter!

”Ahem!” Emperor Zhoulin’s reaction was so quick that it exceeded Gu Changsheng’s expectations. Unable to dodge, she was choked by the dust shaken off by Emperor Zhoulin, waved her little hands to catch her breath, and then spoke, ”It is appropriate. Your Majesty is an elder and should receive a bow from Changsheng. However, as a Southern Emperor, even though I am not wearing the imperial robe, I can only offer a half-bow to show respect. Please do not take offense, Your Majesty.”

”The Southern Emperor overwhelms Us. According to customs, it should be Us bowing to the Southern Emperor.” Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhoulin felt much more at ease, his face breaking into a smile. At that moment, he suddenly thought perhaps bowing to this future granddaughter-in-law isn’t such a bad thing after all.

Who else in the world can marry a clan lady with such a hefty background into their family? Only Zhoulin. So, in a way, it’s unprecedented and unparalleled!

Emperor Zhoulin really felt like laughing loudly to the sky to show his good mood.

There was no denying that Gu Changsheng’s appearance was quite excellent, and when she wasn’t being unruly, she surpassed Heaven’s Proud Daughter by three points! That naturally lazy demeanor could really be misinterpreted as elegance, and could indeed deceive people!

At the very least, Emperor Zhoulin was fooled!

The two exchanged pleasantries, and the conversation was rather pleasant. Of course, Gu Changsheng didn’t really allow Emperor Zhoulin to bow to her atop the ruins since she was in casual attire, although the casual wear was adorned with dragons and phoenixes, she was still not in the imperial robe.

The pleasant conversation between Emperor Zhoulin and Gu Changsheng made the millions of spectators in Capital City let out a long breath of relief.

As expected, Emperor Zhoulin, protected by experts from the clan, slaughtered his way from the Imperial Palace to the city gate, and on this journey, bloodshed was inevitable, which already left the city’s people in a state of fear. The sudden collapse of the city gate further heightened this fear to its peak.

At this moment, they were truly terrified of this Southern Emperor, the legendary Southern Emperor Changsheng, who conquered Southern Chen in less than two months. Her beauty was beyond doubt, and even more fearsome was her decisive and iron-blooded nature, which made everyone shiver with fear. People remember that under her command, there’s an army known as the Dark Night Army, which is unrivaled and mythic—they have repeatedly created miracles, winning with few against many...

They were genuinely afraid, afraid that the Southern Emperor might pulverize them in a fit of anger!

The burning gazes of the city’s people were too intense for Gu Changsheng to ignore, truly making it difficult. Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Changsheng finally stopped her imperial diplomacy with Emperor Zhoulin, looked seriously at Emperor Zhoulin and the city’s people, and spoke up, ”I have something that must be said.”

”Please speak, Southern Emperor.” Emperor Zhoulin was now a hundred percent satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law of his, so dignified and authoritative, with such an empress-like demeanor!

Gu Changsheng coughed twice, cleared her throat, gestured towards outside the city with her hand, and said loudly, ”I want to say, it wasn’t me who broke your home’s gate, it was your grandson! If anyone dares to look at me as if I’m a flood or a fierce beast, I’ll gouge out all your eyes and use them as balls to kick!”
