Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1145: Chapter 814: Qin Hui Has Three Lovers

In the adjacent room, Zhou Mu was bathing and had already dismissed the boy by the door.

When Gu Changsheng pushed the door open, Zhou Mu was already washed and refreshed, holding the little sleeping meatball, lying slanted across the edge of the bed.

Seeing his son clutching the evildoer’s hand tightly even in his sleep, Gu Changsheng chuckled, walked over quietly, and gently pulled the evildoer’s hand out from his son’s grip, ”Expose the wound on his chest; I need to apply medicine.”

”Okay.” Zhou Mu nodded, reached out to lift the thin quilt, revealing the scabbed wound on the little meatball.

”Has the decoction been delivered yet? Did he drink it?” Gu Changsheng asked quietly, suppressing his voice.

”He drank it. Beauty Sai was attentive and even sent some late-night snacks over. Yaoyao was very good, ate some pastries, drank the medicine, and then went to sleep,” Zhou Mu explained softly.

”Hehe... You two really get along well. This playful child, I can’t do much with him!” While applying medicine to the little meatball, Gu Changsheng shook his head, his face full of indulgence.

”We only have this one child now!” Zhou Mu glanced at Gu Changsheng and stated the facts.

”Uh... alright...” Gu Changsheng’s radiant cheeks turned inexplicably red, then she glanced at him again, saying, ”What do you mean? Are you saying if we have more children in the future, you won’t be nice to the little meatball?”

”...” Zhou Mu was stunned by her alluring look, his ears suddenly hot, turned his head, and coughed lightly, ”Stop fooling around, Brother Guo sent lads to tell us they’ve prepared some late-night snacks up front, inviting us to join, such disturbance now that our identities are revealed, it’s not a solution to keep hiding in guest rooms...”

...

Under the canopy of night, in the small courtyard of the inn on the same street as the Guo Residence, a woman’s sharp shouting suddenly erupted.

”Useless! All useless! Things that can’t achieve anything but ruin everything, and to think the Imperial Brother trusted Duo Ao so much, but he turned out to be useless too!” Fufeng Tianlan in her nightgown, a savage look on her eyes beneath the veil, swept her hand, seeing everything before her swept across the ground.

”Miss, please calm down! Miss, please calm down!” The maid He Miao was terrified as she knelt on the ground, her forehead hit by the things Fufeng Tianlan swept, instantly dripping bean-sized blood beads, but she couldn’t care about these, her head knocking loudly against the ground, repeatedly pleading, ”Miss, we’re not far from the Guo family. If Gu Changsheng and the others intend to investigate, they’ll surely find us. Please calm down, Miss, small impatience ruins great plans...”

”Do I need you to teach me?” Fufeng Tianlan interrupted her unfinished words with a flick of her sleeve, eyes full of malice.

”Miss, what should we do now? Duo Ao’s rash actions caused most of our Sand Sea covert operatives in Liaodong to fall. Should we utilize the Central Plains woman planted at the Guo Residence...” He Miao dared not raise her head and cautiously suggested.

”Duo Ao’s reckless blood sacrifices to summon the wolf pack were useless. Even transforming into a Sky Wolf form for battle failed. After this, Gu Changsheng, that bitch, has grown wary, and you think relying on a Central Plains woman can succeed?” Fufeng Tianlan cast a sharp look at He Miao, growling hoarsely, ”He Miao, are you too foolish or too naive?”

”Your servant has erred.” He Miao quickly bowed and pleaded guilty.

Fufeng Tianlan glared at her, then restlessly paced the room.

”That woman who captures Duo Ao’s thoughts, I’ve lost hope in her accomplishing anything, but she’s been deeply trusted by the Guo family for years. It’s possible for her to cause some trouble for Gu Changsheng, that bitch!”

”Miss?” He Miao raised her head in disbelief.

”Order to pack immediately and head to Lin Yuan City at the border of the Three Kingdoms. Leave the Central Plains woman here. It’s said that a woman who lost her lover can act most crazily; let’s see what crazy things she might do!” Fufeng Tianlan said, waving her sleeves, straightening her back as she strode outside.

”Yes!” He Miao hesitated for a moment, then replied stiffly, before quickly getting up from the floor, and following the guards in the courtyard, escorting Fufeng Tianlan, quietly slipping out of Xunyang City.

”Gu Changsheng, Zhou Mu, I’ll be waiting for you in Linyuan City. Let’s see if you’re truly as divinely favored as they say!”

Outside Xunyang City, Fufeng Tianlan in her night gear heard the noise of the wind flapping, glanced back at the city with the hatred hard to conceal in her eyes.

”Move out!” Then, she resolutely turned around, leading the way and leaving.

”Yes!”

”...”

The sound of orders being obediently followed echoed, and quickly a troop of light cavalry vanished into the night...

...

In a secluded courtyard not far from the Guo Family, a petite figure stumbled and staggered while running, calling out in a heartfelt voice, ”Brother Ao! Brother Ao! Brother Ao, where are you? Where are you?”

The courtyard was as quiet as usual, with only the rustling sound of wind-blown leaves.

”Brother Ao, come out! Don’t scare Shushu! Don’t scare Shushu!”

Calling and calling, the girl Yu Shu collapsed on the ground in despair, and a string of tears suddenly slid down, ”Brother Ao, Brother Ao... you must be alright! You promised Shushu that you would protect me for a lifetime of peace! You promised! You would never break your promise! You promised...”

As she spoke, the tears in Yu Shu’s eyes flowed even more fiercely, like a floodgate had opened, falling nonstop...

...

In the main hall of the Guo Family, after having a little midnight snack, Zhou Mu and Gu Changsheng were ushered in.

The two sat at the head of the table. Dowager Empress Xiao’s complexion was still slightly pale but much better than when they were surrounded by wolves. She was sitting at the lower position at this moment.

Guo Luo had yet to recover from the shock of his wise brother Shui Mu turning into the Crown Prince of Great Zhou and his younger sister-in-law becoming the Southern Emperor. Sitting at the lower position, he seemed to be walking on clouds, occasionally casting a glance at Zhou Mu and Gu Changsheng, looking like he wanted to speak but hesitated.

”A dignified man, why act like a little girl? Brother Guo, if you have something to say, feel free to speak!” Zhou Mu leisurely took a sip of tea, sitting upright like a pine, with a face like jade, as if he were an Exiled Immortal.

”Ah?” Guo Luo was taken aback, instinctively blurting out his thoughts, ”Are you really the Crown Prince of Great Zhou, Zhou Mu? The one on the battlefield, among the Myriad Armies, invincible Zhou Mu?”

”Indeed, I suppose no one in the world dares to carry my name.” Zhou Mu’s mouth arrogantly curved into a slight smile, speaking nonchalantly, his demeanor exuding supreme nobility, no longer as amiable as before. The majesty belonging to the Crown Prince of Great Zhou was fully revealed, making people reluctant to offend, only respectfully compliant.

”You...” Looking at Zhou Mu like this, Guo Luo opened his mouth, his voice disappearing, and he could not utter another word.

”Look at you!” Beauty Sai glanced at her husband with exasperation, and with a big belly, turned towards Gu Changsheng, ”Benefactor, I heard from Guo Luo that you encountered a pack of wolves. How is Little Benefactor, is he alright?”

”He’s just bleeding a little and was frightened. The young ones are looking after him, and he’s asleep now, so don’t worry.” Gu Changsheng nodded, gently rubbing his temple with one hand, speaking softly.

”Benefactor, there were rumors saying the wolf pack might have been lured by people, and there were rumors at Wind Cloud Mountain Villa that the Howling Moon Sky Wolf is even more treacherous than people and extremely cunning, transformed by people. What are your thoughts?” Beauty Sai pondered for a moment and still asked.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng retracted his hand from his temple, sat up straight, and said, ”Don’t call me Benefactor over and over. I’m not used to it. Since we have old acquaintances and a chance meeting in a foreign land, you and your husband are older than Zhou Mu and me. Let’s address us like in the past few days. I find it friendly.”

Beauty Sai seemed bashful and uneasy.

Godfather, do you know who you’re speaking to?

Familiar with the Undefeated War God Zhou Mu, conversing as peers with Southern Emperor Changsheng, this is a great fortune not everyone can afford!

Though Gu Changsheng said so, Beauty Sai really couldn’t open her mouth to call them like that immediately.

”Human or wolf, whether it’s conspiracy or not, my son, a mere child, cannot be their ultimate target. Ultimately, they are after me and the evildoer. Since we are in the open and they are in the dark, even if we guessed, it would be in vain. We just have to wait and see their next move!” Gently tapping the tabletop, Gu Changsheng said energetically but looked with a somewhat heavy expression at Zhou Mu, ”Now that the little dumpling is with us, those in the dark can no longer exploit him. I worry whether they might target our close ones next. My old man and Borjigin Nian, far in the north, what if...”

Such a large-scale attack on her little dumpling clearly indicates someone has leveraged her concern for her close ones and stomped on it hard.

And the results were surprisingly favorable, though others might not perceive it as so.

”Rest assured, Linyuan City lies at the edge of the Three Kingdoms, in a gray area outside their jurisdiction. However, an old acquaintance of mine dwells in the city. Knowing my relationship with Little Junior Sister, he will offer help, and in Linyuan City, no one can harm Little Junior Sister.” Zhou Mu patted Gu Changsheng’s hand on the table, speaking warmly.

”An old acquaintance? You actually have an old acquaintance?” Gu Changsheng blinked upon hearing this.

”...” Zhou Mu immediately swept a glance over.

”Hehe...” Gu Changsheng chuckled sheepishly, ”Alright, alright, even Qin Hui had three confidants. How can my evildoer with godly looks not have some bosom friends? Hehe...”

Everyone felt speechless hearing Gu Changsheng’s words...
