Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Capítulo 966: Chapter 2916

Chapter 2916

“…” Upon hearing this, Skate pressed his lips together and didn’t say a word…

Though Gu Tianyao’s words were somewhat unpleasant, the principle that “once an arrow is released, it cannot be taken back” was one that Skate understood well…

So, regardless of what Gu Tianyao said, Skate merely listened, after all, Gu Tianyao’s identity as someone from the Mirror Lake Holy Land was still quite useful to Skate…

That general had died just like that, and in Skate’s heart, it didn’t even stir the slightest ripple…

Skate did not take to heart the words the general spoke before his death…

However, when this news reached the Queen’s Palace, Yulan, holding a wine cup, just laughed…

“Dead? Skate personally took action and killed that general?”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

“Hehe, has she finally been unable to resist exposing her true nature?”

“…”

The subordinate was silent, what more could he say?

The good and bad of the two princesses were royal matters, not something a subordinate like him could comment on, but Skate’s actions indeed shocked everyone in the Royal City because in their eyes, Eldest Princess Skate had always been gentle and courteous, never raising her voice, how could a person who had never shouted at anyone suddenly kill in public, how could they not view her differently?

“Is there any news from East County? Did Yushu really withdraw her troops?” In the eyes of outsiders, Yulan is a frail and sickly queen confined to her sickbed, but that is only what outsiders think…

“Your Majesty, the Second Princess indeed withdrew her troops. Because there was no approval from Your Majesty, the garrison outside East County has never taken action. Your Majesty, dragging this out is not a solution. Second Princess… What exactly does she intend?” The subordinate was quite perplexed…

“Yushu… Yushu is not someone with such a character. There must be a wise person assisting her, otherwise, she couldn’t have left the Royal City alive before my people were dispatched, let alone return to East County alive under Skate’s nose. However, I don’t know what this person helping Yushu is aiming for, nor to what extent they can help her!” Hearing this, Yulan was silent for a moment before speaking.

In fact, who would be the victor in this war, Skate or Yushu, didn’t make much difference to Yulan…

Because both of them are her daughters!

The adage “The victor becomes king, the loser is the outlaw” is an eternal truth. Although she leaned a little more toward Yushu, it was only because Skate’s assertiveness made Yulan feel more assured. However, this does not mean she truly favors anyone, so…

She is waiting!

Waiting to see which daughter can be wise enough to discover her, to come to her as their mother and open their heart to have a chat…

Obviously, Skate’s actions today made Yulan a bit disappointed…

That general had already noticed something amiss, yet Skate foolishly still believed…

Sigh…

With a heart for bloodthirsty slaughter, yet lacking the skills of imperial power maneuvering…

How could such an Eldest Princess Skate make Yulan feel secure in entrusting the entire Mermaid People to her?

“Your Majesty, what do we do now?” The subordinate could not help but ask, seeing his Majesty deep in thought…

“Do nothing, just wait! Skate is waiting for me to die, I’m waiting for them to wake up!” Yulan sighed and replied directly.

Wait…

Perhaps time will bring the best outcome for this war…

Of course, the premise is that neither of her two daughters will be lost in this war, and at least one will survive to bear the heavy responsibility of the entire Mermaid People!

In Yulan’s heart, she silently anticipated this…

And just as Yulan was anticipating this, Hai Mo appeared!

This young mermaid attendant once again appeared before Yulan, holding a wine cup. However, unlike before, this time, besides presenting the wine to Queen Yulan, Hai Mo also handed over a letter to Yulan…

“Your Majesty, my master, Second Princess Yushu, has a letter for me to deliver to you, into your hands!” While speaking, Hai Mo took out the letter and respectfully presented it forward…

“…” Hearing this, Yulan was silent for a moment, unable to help but stare at Hai Mo for a while…

Yulan had seen this young mermaid attendant before; he had been present in her palace for two days now because those who could enter her palace were carefully screened, so Yulan never doubted…

Little did she expect, this young mermaid was actually someone of her second daughter, Yushu?

Yulan was silent…

Her second daughter, Yushu, didn’t seem like someone with such scheming nature, impossible for her to have started maneuvering so early on, placing people by her side…

Then there’s only one possibility, this young mermaid was arranged temporarily, and to be able to place this young mermaid into her heavily guarded palace temporarily, such a person must wield immense influence, or else it would be impossible for an unknown mermaid to sneak into her palace…

“Who arranged for you to enter the palace? Was it Yushu?” Yulan asked as she opened the letter.

“No, Your Majesty, it was not Yushu but a guest of the Second Princess, a woman named Changsheng!” Hai Mo did not hide the truth, speaking out directly upon hearing the inquiry.

“A woman named Changsheng? Changsheng… that’s a good name…” Yulan was taken aback for a moment but quickly realized…

It wasn’t her daughter, Yushu…

Changsheng…

This woman named Changsheng must be the master behind her daughter…

Thinking this, Yulan couldn’t help but smile as she looked down at the contents of the letter…

The letter was straightforward, with Yushu simply stating that she was not guilty of rebellion. She hoped her mother would believe her and call back the troops. Meanwhile, Yushu also mentioned that she would soon come to the Royal City to meet Yulan…

Upon seeing that Yushu would soon come to the Royal City to meet her, Yulan burst into laughter!

“Hahaha… Hahaha… To see me? Finally, someone comes to see me! Finally, someone knows that this person with the title of Queen still has a bit of use!” Yulan laughed with a hint of self-mockery and relief…

She had been waiting for a long time…

No matter if Skate had realized her value, her second daughter Yushu already had…

Even if Yushu realized it due to guidance from someone, so what?

Isn’t there someone guiding Skate too?

The General was killed by Skate herself because he spoke inappropriately before her, wasn’t he?

Yulan had been waiting, waiting for someone who could perceive the situation of the Royal City with clear eyes, and surely, someone who understood the situation would also have a deep understanding of power tactics…

Now, this person has appeared!

It was her second daughter, Yushu…

She must have been guided by someone to realize this, but Yulan also knew how difficult it would be for her pure and gentle daughter Yushu to admit this…

Yushu must have undergone some growth to have written such a letter to her…

“Good! Very good! Yushu, if you can maintain that bit of kindness in your heart while recognizing the cruelty of this world, then you might be a qualified heir to the throne. Mother is waiting for you! Mother is waiting for you!” Nodding, Yulan continuously nodded and then turned to give orders to her hidden subordinates, “Pass down the order, make the Royal City outwardly guarded but inwardly relaxed, open all the gates, ensure the safety of Second Princess Yushu, and bring her to me smoothly. I want to see her!”

That was her daughter…

How could she not love her?

Even if she was a Queen, she was also a mother, who loved her children, only she loved them more reservedly…?

“As you command!”

The subordinate heard Yulan’s order and immediately turned to carry it out…

“My mission is complete, I shall return to East County now!” Hai Mo said with a smile upon his lips…

Heaven knows how many times he narrowly escaped death coming to the Royal City…

But fortunately, he had survived under the guidance of that voice that resounded in his heart!

That voice was like the Savior, guiding him every time to successfully avoid searches and pursuits, leading him into the Royal City, and into the Queen’s Palace…

Now, his task was complete…

It’s truly…

A delightful thing, he could go home!

“You don’t need to return to East County, your master is already on the way to the Royal City. Don’t you need to report back to your master?” Yulan said, smiling lightly at Hai Mo, “You can just wait comfortably in the Royal City for your master to fetch you!”

“…” Hai Mo heard and was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Where his master was, was home for him!

The Emperor would never deceive him!

As Yushu wrote in the letter, at that moment, Yushu was preparing to head north to the Royal City…

Although those scenes were indeed shocking for Yushu, Yushu was not a fragile child who couldn’t withstand a blow. After a day of gathering her thoughts, she stood up…

“Are you going to the Royal City with me?” Yushu asked solemnly, looking at Gu Changsheng beside her…

At that moment, both in disposition and character, Yushu had changed to some extent, so her expression was particularly grave…

“Of course, the Royal City has your enemies, as well as mine!” Gu Changsheng nodded upon hearing this and said, “I’ve been eagerly looking forward to confronting her once more!”

“…” Yushu said nothing in response…

She knew that Gu Changsheng was talking about the person behind Skate…
