Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 967: Chapter 2917

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

That person, whom she was not a match for!

Second Princess Yushu could imagine the kind of woman who could make Skate commit such treacherous acts. She was certainly not easy to deal with, and even though she had grown, she was still not that person’s match…

In that case, Gu Changsheng going to Royal City was the best thing that could happen!

At some point, Yushu had begun to trust Gu Changsheng implicitly. She had witnessed this woman’s strength, not to mention she had two formidable children and a rarely-speaking handsome man protecting her…

As for that man’s strength, Yushu had never witnessed it because, up till now, that man had never taken action…

The Mermaid People’s internal war had welcomed such a group of people, and Yushu didn’t know if it was good or bad. She only knew that it was through these people that she had seen the harsh reality and realized how naive she had been as the Princess of the Mermaid People, a grave sin indeed…

“It’s all good. With you around, I always feel reassured…” Yushu just paused in silence for a moment before she finally spoke…

And indeed it was…

With Gu Changsheng and the others around, Yushu inexplicably felt at ease. Although Gu Changsheng and the others’ strength made Yushu wary, up until now, Gu Changsheng and the others had shown no malice towards her and had helped her on more than one occasion, hadn’t they?

Yushu wasn’t someone who lacked gratitude. The help from Baby and Beibei, and Gu Changsheng’s assistance, she kept in her heart…

“As long as you understand this, that’s good!” Gu Changsheng nodded at her words, saying, “Moreover, you have no need to fear us. To you, we are but passing strangers. We won’t linger here long. Once the Mermaid People’s matters are settled, we will leave here, and of course, we’ll take that dangerous person away with us. The Mermaid People will return to peace then…”

How could Gu Changsheng not understand what Yushu was thinking?

Precisely because she understood, Gu Changsheng rarely explained so succinctly…

The feeling of being feared is never good, is it?

What’s more, they truly harbored no ill intentions!

“I know! I’ve always known that you mean no harm to me, and I know that this little marine territory of the Mermaid People is insignificant to you…” Yushu said, with a rare smile, nodding.

A powerful person like Gu Changsheng, with vast connections and influence, how could she care about the small marine territory of the Mermaid People?

Even Yushu knew that Gu Changsheng’s world was surely something beyond what she, a mere little Princess of the Mermaid People, could comprehend!

Understanding it or not, ignorance has its own kind of happiness, doesn’t it?

Thinking this, Yushu felt at ease!

The people of East County soon learned that Yushu was heading to Royal City, and the citizens were worried…

“My lord, how can you leave East County? The Royal City is a quagmire now. How can you hope for a good outcome there?”

“Yeah, and moreover, the suspicion of rebellion against East County hasn’t been cleared yet. Princess, if you go to Royal City now, isn’t it walking into a den of wolves?”

“Palace Master, what will we do if something happens to you?”

“My lord, you mustn’t go to Royal City…”

“Princess…”

“…”

“…”

The people of East County loved their lord and revered their princess…

In their hearts, Yushu was their backbone. If Yushu left, they wouldn’t know what to do…

If anything happened to Yushu, East County would become leaderless, and no one would know what to do…

“Worry not, I will be fine. I am going to Royal City to prove my innocence and the innocence of East County. Wait for my return!” Yushu looked at her people, her expression unusually solemn…

Looking at those who revered her as their pillar, Yushu inexplicably felt a sense of belonging and responsibility…

Perhaps this was what Gu Changsheng meant when she said the desire to wear the crown must bear its weight?

Before, she wore the crown without realizing its weight. Now, she had to reevaluate herself—to understand her identity as the Princess of the Mermaid People and the weight of the crown she wore as the successor…

In the end, Yushu left East County with Gu Changsheng and the others…

Compared to the current state of the Mermaid People, East County was a pure land—there was no war, no chaos. But outside East County, the world was completely different…

The outside world was a mess, to say the least…

Skate’s false accusation against Yushu for rebellion caused panic and insecurity, and with the Royal Army stationed in East County, everything made the Mermaid People feel on edge…

Yushu left the territory of East County with Gu Changsheng and the others, and unsurprisingly, encountered the Royal Army stationed outside East County…

“!!!” Seeing Yushu openly leaving East County and heading towards them, Ghost knows the turmoil in General Luo Sang of the Royal Army’s heart…

What’s going on?

What the hell is going on right now?

Can anyone tell him, how at a time like this, could Second Princess Yushu leave East County so nonchalantly and appear close to their Royal Army, what does this mean?

Do they really think we’re blind or what? Can’t they see her?

“How many people has the Second Princess brought?” Luo Sang took a deep breath, then another deep breath, and finally asked this question…

If the Second Princess has brought a lot of people, then that’s great, because then he would have an excuse to deploy troops, right?

After all, the Second Princess appearing near their Royal Army with a lot of people could very well be an ambush, couldn’t it?

But…

“Reporting to the Commander, the Second Princess didn’t bring many people, only a handsome couple, and two cute little kids, about three years old…” The Scout Soldier, hearing this, answered with cold sweat on his forehead…

God knows, if the Second Princess had brought many people, would he still be able to return and report alive?

Of course, the Scout Soldier was also aware that the reason he was able to investigate the Second Princess’s movements and return alive was actually because…

Uh…

Because the Second Princess and her group were letting them off easy?

That’s right!

The couple accompanying Second Princess Yushu clearly noticed his presence…

However, even after discovering his presence, they didn’t call him out or capture him, doesn’t that mean they were deliberately letting them off?

“Three-year-old kids?!!” Luo Sang, upon hearing this from the Scout Soldier, suddenly…

Didn’t know what word to use to describe his current feelings…

It’s simply a terrible situation!

“What do you mean? What does this mean? The Second Princess came with so few people out of East County and headed towards us, what does this mean? Does she even know she’s a traitor, a renegade of the Mermaid People, huh?!” Luo Sang raised his hand and slammed the table, shouting angrily…

Could he not be angry?

He still hadn’t received the order to deploy troops, and the Royal Army no longer had the morale it had when they first arrived at East County…

Now, it’s even worse, they not only lost their confrontation with the East County troops, but Second Princess Yushu also appeared openly, this just…

This is simply putting their Royal Army in a difficult position, slapping them in the face!

“General, what should we do now? The Second Princess and her people are coming straight for our Royal Army…” Luo Sang’s subordinates now, their expressions weren’t very good…

It’s a tough situation…

The entire Royal City, even the entire Mermaid People, know that Second Princess Yushu committed treason…

But, His Majesty hasn’t issued a Kill-on-Sight Order, so…

Is the Second Princess still technically the Second Princess now?

Their Royal Army is now stationed outside East County, but they can’t move forward or retreat, completely unsure of what to do, if they recklessly act against Second Princess Yushu, it seems inappropriate, but if they don’t act against her, and later His Majesty’s order from the Royal City arrives, they’ll become accomplices for letting her go?

They might even be accused of collusion with the Second Princess?

This problem is quite serious…

So what should they actually do now, whether they act or not, they’re passive…

“What to do? What else can we do? We can’t just hide and avoid her, can we? You should know, we have hundreds of thousands of troops, is hiding even possible? When such a large army moves, it’s a big commotion, how could our hundreds of thousands of troops be afraid of a couple and their two kids following the Second Princess? If word of this gets out, we’d lose all face!” Luo Sang, hearing this, angrily said with bulging eyes…

“…Uh! But General, what should we do now?” the subordinates heard this and felt troubled.

They also knew that hiding wasn’t realistic…

But if they don’t hide…

What should they do?

Arrest the Second Princess?

Or kill the Second Princess?

Or let the Second Princess go?

This actually…

None of these solutions are particularly appropriate, are they?

“What to do? What else can we do? Who knows when the Second Princess became so troublesome, giving us such a hard problem!” Luo Sang, hearing this, slapped the table and angrily said, “Do nothing! Let’s wait and see what the Second Princess really wants to do, we’ll react to her moves as they come!”

Since anything they do is wrong, then…

Do nothing at all!

Anyway, their Royal Army only pledges allegiance to the King of the Mermaid People!

Whoever the King of the Mermaid People says is the true ruler, that’s who counts, regardless of what anyone says, His Majesty hasn’t officially announced the Second Princess’s crime, so the Second Princess is still the Second Princess of the Mermaid People…
