Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Capítulo 963: Chapter 2913

“Little girl, you’ve been too well protected by your mother, so you think I’m cruel because you’ve never really seen what true cruelty is in this world…”

“True cruelty in this world can take your life, make you wish you were dead rather than tossing and turning!”

“You… I…” Yushu was struck as if by lightning upon hearing these words from Gu Changsheng, freezing on the spot…

“Tsk tsk… Such a naive little girl. After going through your own sister’s betrayal and persecution, don’t you understand yet? This world isn’t as beautiful as you imagine. Some beauty is just a matter of pure expectation…” Gu Changsheng shook her head as she looked at Yushu…

There’s no need to say more…

She’s not Yushu’s mother, so there’s no need for her to worry about Yushu, is there?

If anyone should worry, it should be Her Majesty the Queen of the Mermaid People now, right?

“You’re such a realistic person that it’s infuriating…” Yushu couldn’t help but shout as she watched Gu Changsheng walk away.

“That’s because people ultimately have to live in reality, not in dreams!” Gu Changsheng replied without turning her head.

The cost of growing up…

Sometimes, it seems so cruel…

But Gu Changsheng thought that Yushu was still too fragile. Compared to what she had been through, Yushu’s growth seemed gentle as a spring rain…

Heaven knows, even Gu Changsheng felt a bit envious of Yushu, didn’t she?

This is a kind girl…

So, she received her mother’s full protection, even at the cost of giving her the most fertile territory of the Mermaid People…

Of course, this also brought about her current disaster…

Yet, even amidst this disaster, Yushu still met her daughter…

Baby and Beibei risked their lives to protect her…

And herself, she aided her growth…

Tsk tsk…

What good fortune!

In Gu Changsheng’s eyes, Yushu’s fate was truly fortunate!

Of course, Yushu herself didn’t think so…

Now, Yushu was genuinely quite wary of Gu Changsheng, even a bit fearful…

Because this beautiful woman could always reveal the cruelest side of the world before her, telling her that the life she led was too blissful…

“Mother, Yushu is so pitiful…”

Baby, although not opposed to her own mother’s actions, couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for Yushu, with whom she had once suffered together…

“If she doesn’t feel a little pitiful now, then once she sits on the throne, there will be no other path for her but death!” Gu Changsheng’s response was simple and straightforward, “She should thank me for teaching her cruelty now, for it will be her capital for survival in the future!”

No one can stand tall solely relying on kindness!

Even the Princess of the Mermaid People is no exception!

Yushu had already paid the price for her kindness, as all the personal guards who once followed her died on the road protecting her escape…

And now, if she continued to be ignorantly kind, there would be no reason for Gu Changsheng and her group to stay…

“Alright, whatever Mother says is right, but, what exactly did Mother do to that young mermaid named Hai Mo?” Upon hearing this, Baby blinked her big eyes, looking quite naive.

“That young mermaid is much older than you…” Gu Changsheng had to remind her daughter, who thought of calling the young mermaid Hai Mo ‘little’, that her age was actually younger than Hai Mo’s…

“But I’m better than him…” Baby retorted, pouting in anger…

“Even being good can’t change the fact you were born later…” Gu Changsheng shrugged, with an indifferent expression.

“Mother! You’re bullying me!” Baby stomped her foot, upon hearing this.

“Alright, alright, Mother won’t bully you. Go, get a mirror, a big mirror, and Mother will tell you what I did to that young mermaid…” Seeing this, Gu Changsheng chuckled softly, rubbing Baby’s little head.

“Hmph!” Baby snorted coldly, but still eagerly went to fetch a very big mirror…

It was a mirror about as tall as Baby herself…

In the Underwater World, mirrors are actually shells…

Polished to a bright finish, the light reflected from the shell is very clear…

Baby’s actions drew many onlookers, including Yushu…

Although Yushu was somewhat wary of Gu Changsheng, she still trusted her in her heart, so…

Seeing the interaction between Baby and Gu Changsheng, she couldn’t help but want to come over and take a look…

“What is this about?”

Yushu looked at the large mirror that was brought out, puzzled.

“This is to show you what true cruelty is!”

Gu Changsheng gazed at Yushu and raised an eyebrow.

Wasn’t it already said that she was cruel?

If so, she doesn’t mind being a bit more ruthless…

“It’s already been two days. For the past two days, I’ve been working hard, guiding Hai Mo to evade layers of pursuers and head to the Royal City. Now, he has entered the Royal Palace…” Gu Changsheng spoke while wiping the mirror, “So Yushu, do you still refuse to believe, that your mother is actually the one who is most adept at scheming?”

“I…” Yushu heard this and choked.

“Why don’t I let you see it with your own eyes now, how about that?” Gu Changsheng turned her head and looked at Yushu with ill intentions.

“…” What else could Yushu say?

Yushu had never won against Gu Changsheng, ever!

“What exactly do you want? What did you do to Hai Mo?” In the end, Yushu could only ask this.

“I did nothing. I just disguised Hai Mo as a young eunuch from the Royal Palace. Now, he’s on his way to your mother’s bedchamber. Yushu, you naive little girl, you’ll soon see your mother. Perhaps you’ll even be lucky enough to witness your mother having a secret talk with her trusted confidant…”

“…” Yushu heard this and couldn’t help but twitch her mouth.

Honestly, she didn’t think seeing her mother having secret talks with her confidants would be a matter of good fortune…

But clearly, Gu Changsheng didn’t think so…

And Yushu…

Couldn’t do anything to Gu Changsheng…

“Mom, the mirror is already bright and shiny. What exactly do you want to do? Curiosity can kill a cat. Baby really doesn’t want to be a cat, Mom. Please tell Baby quickly…” Baby saw her mother continuously cleaning the mirror without any intention of moving to the next step and couldn’t help but act cute and spoiled…

“Alright then, so our daughter doesn’t become a cat killed by curiosity, I’ll tell you what I want to do…” Gu Changsheng chuckled upon hearing this, then gently set down the towel in her hand and walked to the front of the mirror…

Those enchanting black eyes, in an instant, transformed their expression, tinted by the colors of chaos…

And the mirror before Gu Changsheng, in this moment, seemed to turn into her eyes, mirroring the colors of chaos…

“Corridor! It’s a corridor! A long corridor!”

The next instant, Baby pointed at the sudden image appearing in the mirror and shouted.

Indeed!

It was a corridor!

A very long, long corridor!

On both sides of the corridor were beams and painted pillars like glass…

Moreover, the image continued to move…

As if it was a scene seen by a person, constantly advancing forward…

“This corridor… This corridor… It’s the corridor leading to Mother’s bedchamber!”

Standing not far away, Yushu, upon seeing the corridor, immediately changed her expression and exclaimed…

This corridor might be unfamiliar to others, but for Yushu, it was incredibly familiar…

Because when she was young, she grew up playing on this corridor…

Ever since she was a child, her mother was often sick and bedridden, always residing in the bedchamber, so if she wanted to see her mother, she had to go to the bedchamber, and to get to the bedchamber, she had to pass through this long corridor…

This corridor was once Yushu’s playground when she was little, the place where she played and made mischief…

Every crystal tile of this corridor was familiar to Yushu…

“How did you do this? How did you do this?” Yushu turned incredulously, looking at Gu Changsheng.

“I told you, Hai Mo’s eyes are my eyes. What he sees, I see, and naturally, I can guide him to avoid misfortune and find his way to where he should be…” Gu Changsheng’s gaze remained fixed on the mirror as she leisurely pulled a chair and sat down, speaking indifferently…

“But that’s the Royal Palace! It’s my mother’s bedchamber! It’s the most heavily guarded place in the entire Royal Palace!” Yushu exclaimed in disbelief.

Gu Changsheng had really sent Hai Mo, that young mermaid, into the Royal Palace…

Not only sent him into the Royal Palace but also into her mother’s bedchamber…

“Your mother’s bedchamber? Heavily guarded? It used to be, but not anymore. Your mother, to make her act more convincing, already withdrew most of the personal guards around the bedchamber when your sister Skate used the Goddess’ name to command the entire Royal City. It looks as if she’s entrusted her safety into your sister Skate’s hands…” Gu Changsheng slowly said.

“Why? Why would she do that?” Yushu asked incredulously.

“Because not even you know your mother’s true strength, right? Do you think Skate knows? Do you think at this point, would it be better for your mother to clash directly with Skate, or to lay quietly in the bedchamber while outsmarting Skate?” Gu Changsheng chuckled softly.

“I…” Yushu heard this and suddenly didn’t know what to say…

Now, in the image from the mirror, there indeed weren’t many personal guards, though it was quite tranquil, as if warfare hadn’t occurred at all…
