Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 921: Chapter 733: The Disaster Caused by Egg Fried Rice

Why is there such a sharp smell coming from her traveling palace?

“Achoo!”

“Achoo!”

“…”

Just as Gu Changsheng was feeling puzzled, a chorus of sneezes came from the three little Adous beside her.

Have you heard that sneezing is contagious?

Gu Changsheng thought nothing of it at first, but when she heard the three sneezing, she couldn’t help but sneeze as well.

“Mom…” Watching his mom sit up from the flowerbed with a start, Little Bao’s chubby face drooped, feeling heaven’s pity. He had been practicing holding a horse stance and reciting books for an hour and couldn’t be blamed for just sneezing, “Mom, listen to me, I really wasn’t trying to slack off, it’s just that my nose itched so badly, it seems there’s a strange smell…”

Little Bao explained pitifully and anxiously, looking for help to his big sister-in-law Wuchang Yue and Little Han Mo with the Black Face beside him.

Being swept by Little Bao’s pleading gaze, the two of them quickly nodded in agreement out of self-preservation.

“There is a strange smell, it’s very pungent!”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes at the three naughty little Adous and spoke with a displeased expression, “You think my nose is just for show? If you can smell it, how could I possibly not?”

The three little Adous lowered their heads smartly and dared not speak.

In the past couple of days, due to the absence of Aunt Lei’s cooking, their mom had been eating without satisfaction, leaving her in a bad mood when hungry, someone they couldn’t provoke! Little Bao wished to bury his little head into his chest so as not to be seen by his mom.

Collateral damage indeed, collateral damage. They are the poor victims!

Seeing the three little Adous in such a state, Gu Changsheng didn’t argue with them and was about to call someone over to ask what was going on and why there was a smell like burning trash, when she saw a female official lifting her skirts in a hurry and running toward them.

“Your Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness, something terrible has happened!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng felt an intuitive tightening in her heart and looked at the sweaty female official running over. If looks could kill, she’d have dismembered this official by now!

Bad! Bad my foot!

She was living large and feeling great! As good as one could be!

It’s all because of this bunch cursing her!

“You’re the one who’s bad! Your whole family is bad!” Clapping the dirt off her clothes, Gu Changsheng adjusted her skirt and climbed up from the flowerbed with a huff.

Seeing Her Royal Highness in a sour mood, the female official felt a chill but still dutifully reported, “Your Majesty, something terrible has really happened! The Imperial Husband he…”

“Call him Son-in-law!” What’s with the Imperial Husband this, Imperial Husband that, it’s irritating, isn’t it? Son-in-law sounds so much more intimate.

Just like one big family, right?

These female officials, being around her, they were like family too, right?

Yes, yes, a harmonious family is the way to go!

“Alright then, Son-in-law! Your Majesty, you need to quickly go have a look, the Son-in-law has set the Imperial Kitchen on fire!” The female official, covered in sweat from anxiety, exclaimed while jumping around.

“What?”

Gu Changsheng heard this and instantly widened her phoenix eyes in disbelief, slapped her thigh, and dashed off toward her traveling palace’s Imperial Kitchen.

Seeing this, the female official didn’t have time to say more, sped up, and followed along.

“Let’s go, let’s go! Quickly, go check out the commotion!” Little Bao saw his mom running away, immediately ended his horse stance, and beckoned to the two beside him.

“But the Witch Lord said we can’t get up until we’ve recited the Analects.” Wuchang Yue, being a well-behaved child, protested even though she was a bit slow at studying.

“Heavens! Big sister-in-law, please have mercy on me. By the time you finish reciting the Analects, the sun will be setting in the west, and I’ll turn into a zombie here!” Little Bao’s chubby face scrunched up in distress hearing this, giving Little Han Mo a signal, and the two moved in sync, picking up Wuchang Yue and rushing toward the Imperial Kitchen.

“Uncle Wood actually set fire to the Imperial Kitchen, that’s something! Uncle Wood has always had a bad temper, could it be the female officials in the kitchen upset him?” As they ran towards the Imperial Kitchen, Little Bao speculated.

“It shouldn’t be, the Son-in-law seldom loses his temper around the lady.” Han Mo replied objectively.

“Well, then this will be interesting to see.” Little Bao grinned upon hearing this.

Wuchang Yue was quite disdainful of the two’s penchant for joining the fun. After all, she used to be a Little Witch Lord in Bashu. She had seen all kinds of scenes and wouldn’t foolishly join the fun like ordinary children. She was just a bit curious, that’s all.

The Heavenly Palace Traveling Palace was the largest park in Capital City chosen by Emperor Zhoulin.

The palace used as Gu Changsheng’s Imperial Kitchen was quite grand, forming a series, with no less than a dozen rooms. At this moment, smoke was curling up from the kitchen, giving an over-the-top feeling!

“What the hell!”

Seeing the thick smoke billowing up from one of the kitchens, Gu Changsheng’s hair stood on end.

What’s going on here? What on earth is going on?

Is the evildoer so bored out of his mind? Damn it, he really set her kitchen on fire!

“Lord, I told you, this won’t work, it won’t work, better let Yuan Bao handle it. Even though Yuan Bao has never cooked, he’s eaten much more than you, hasn’t he?” Yuan Bao’s face, round and ruddy, was smeared into a raccoon pattern, desperately clinging onto his lord who was about to enter the kitchen, lying on the ground to serve as a barrier.

“Let go! This king won’t believe this nonsense!” Zhou Mu, with a face as stern as a Divine Residence, gave Yuan Bao, who was lying on the ground acting unruly, a kick.

“Lord, you can’t go on like this! There are thirteen kitchens in the Heavenly Palace, and you’ve already ruined three of them in a row. If you keep going, there won’t be any place left in this vast Heavenly Palace to cook!” Yuan Bao was so anxious he was about to cry. Godfather, didn’t you send someone to look for reinforcements? Where are they? Why aren’t they here yet?

If no one comes to stop his bewitched lord soon, everyone in the Heavenly Palace is going to go hungry!

Ugh… His life was so bitter, so bitter! His human shield really couldn’t hold out much longer, and his backside was about to spark a romance with the ground, ouch it hurt, didn’t it?

Ugh!

“Evildoer! What are you doing?”

Just as Yuan Bao was tearfully praying to the heavens, a furious shout thundered in his ears.

Upon hearing this voice, Yuan Bao was so moved he nearly prostrated himself on the ground, wasn’t he?

“Savior! Great Auntie Changsheng, you’re finally here. Please stop my lord quickly, I’m really powerless now, even if I can, my backside is almost on fire!” Upon seeing Gu Changsheng, Yuan Bao immediately let go of his lord’s leg, turned around, and rushed toward Gu Changsheng, speaking tearfully.

Gu Changsheng furrowed her brows as she looked at the scene of disaster before her, the Imperial Kitchen, her mouth twitching. God, what’s going on here? Was her back kitchen facing doomsday?

This place was full of smoke and fire, who had the capability to mess up her kitchen so thoroughly?

And where did the smudge of ash on her evildoer’s nose come from?

So discordant! An eyesore indeed! How could her evildoer, who looked like a Divine Residence, have ash on his nose?

“You’ve got nothing better to do than set my kitchen on fire?” Gu Changsheng glared. Alright, for the person in front of her, please forgive her good eyesight, she really couldn’t see him as a handsome man anymore. The cold and handsome beauty of a man had been shattered by that speck of ash on his nose.

The current evildoer was truly disheartening. She felt a bit like not wanting to marry him anymore, what to do?

“No!” Zhou Mu’s response was straightforward, just two words.

“No? Are you kidding me?” Gu Changsheng exclaimed, instantly glaring. What does it mean to talk nonsense with open eyes? This is what it means! In the whole world, anyone daring to commit arson in her Heavenly Palace would certainly be none other than her evildoer!

The smudge of ash on that elegant nose remained, yet he wouldn’t admit it!

“This king was just practicing my cooking skills!” Zhou Mu retorted, full of righteous justification.

“Ha!” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng was amused to the point of being speechless, pointing at the kitchen that was partially burnt, her chest heaving, “You dare to practice cooking and won’t do it at your own place? Isn’t the Imperial Kitchen of the palace bigger than my Traveling palace’s kitchen? Damn it, you’ve been caught red-handed setting fire to my kitchen, and you’re still denying it!”

“This king has already practiced in the Imperial Palace.” Zhou Mu replied, frowning, still speaking succinctly.

Yuan Bao, hearing this, was truly crying.

Tears flowing down his old face, wasn’t it, he clung to one of Gu Changsheng’s legs, bursting into tears, “Wife! The Lord is telling the truth. Yesterday, the Lord had already practiced cooking in the palace’s Imperial Kitchen for a day. So today, the palace is out of food, I guess His Majesty Emperor Lin is still hungry until now…”

The vast kitchen of the entire palace was almost all burnt by the lord, even the little kitchens in the concubines’ palaces weren’t spared. At this moment, God knows how His Majesty Emperor Lin was holding his concubine, crying from hunger!

Ugh! His life was so bitter! From now on, he didn’t dare return to the palace, he’d definitely get beaten badly! Ugh…

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng almost couldn’t help but laugh, looking at Zhou Mu in front of her, “What? After ruining the kitchen in your home, you’re here to wreck mine? Evildoer, my kitchen’s small, it can’t withstand your constant ruin!”

“It’s just a few kitchens, I’ll compensate you. I’ve already called over the craftswomen from your Honor Guard Army who are skilled at repairs…” Zhou Mu frowned tighter, speaking with a hint of annoyance.

Compensate? Damn it, compensating with the craftswomen from the other’s own Honor Guard Army, it’s incredible the evildoer had the audacity to say this! Gu Changsheng felt a bit embarrassed to hear it!

No wonder Foster Father had been insisting the past few days that the evildoer is a “scoundrel”, indeed, a true “scoundrel”!

Looking at her ravaged kitchen with an expression of sheer speechlessness, Gu Changsheng glanced at the evildoer with ash on his nose, sighed resignedly, and asked, “Evildoer, tell me the truth, do you not want to be the Crown Prince of Great Zhou anymore, or are you willing to change careers and become a cook?”
