Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1150: Chapter 819: Trade Your Son for Her!

Gu Changsheng heard Beauty Sai’s words and slowly shook his head, signaling her not to act rashly.

In negotiations, equality and seizing the initiative are crucial. From the beginning, they were at a disadvantage. Beauty Sai being taken hostage undoubtedly tied their hands, preventing them from taking action. Gu Changsheng initially thought of causing emotional turmoil in Yu Shu with sharp words to find a flaw, but now Gu Changsheng realized she had truly underestimated this seemingly ordinary little girl.

Just think, a girl who could infiltrate the Guo Family for years and not show a flaw in front of her and Zhou Mu is truly not to be underestimated!

It’s very bad when such an underestimated girl has seized the initiative!

”If you don’t trust me, I can seal my inner strength and exchange myself for Beauty Sai!” Gu Changsheng looked at Yu Shu, furrowing her brows, ”Isn’t your target me? Holding me in your hand ensures no one in this entire residence would dare to act rashly. What you seek will also be fulfilled, right?”

She needed to get close to Yu Shu!

Had to have a chance to get close to Yu Shu!

As long as she had such a chance, even without inner strength, even without the assistance of Witch Gu Power, she could turn passivity into initiative, reverse the situation, and control the overall situation!

Gu Changsheng’s patience was never considered great!

She liked everything to be foolproof, to fight a quick battle and end it quickly. She very much hated this feeling of something being uncontrollable and unexpected!

”You? Haha... Gu Changsheng!” Yu Shu, upon hearing this, suddenly laughed, the laughter wild and grotesque, with an all-out recklessness. Her blood-red eyes stared ominously at the woman in front of her, the corners of Yu Shu’s mouth curled into a vicious curve as she spoke sharply, ”Gu Changsheng, don’t treat others like fools! You’re the Southern Emperor, a majestic being. You would risk entering my hands willingly? You believe it, but I won’t!”

”Then what do you want? Since you’ve dared to use Beauty Sai to threaten me, you should know my temperament. Since you came targeting me, bring it on, one does what one did, I, Gu Changsheng, am not someone who would drag others into it to live ignobly. Let go of Beauty Sai, even if you want my life, take it!” Gu Changsheng said, sweeping her sleeve again.

”Gu Changsheng, you think too simply. I’ve said, I want my Brother Ao. Since my Brother Ao can’t come back, then I want you to wish for death rather than life!” Yu Shu’s lips moved as she spoke, her words continuously challenging one’s psychological limits.

Gu Changsheng’s brows knit tightly, with Zhou Mu standing closely beside her, stern and speechless.

”Southern Emperor, no!” After some struggle, Guo Luo still shook his head in pain.

His pregnant wife was the one held hostage, with his child in her belly, but the woman in front of him was the Emperor of the Southern Country. Whether for his wife or the Guo Family, she was a benefactor!

Sparing the wife and child while bringing disaster to the Southern Emperor, a Jianghu man like Guo Luo, who didn’t understand sophistication, couldn’t do it either.

”Gu Changsheng, the world says you rose from an ordinary family, loving all under heaven, but do you know? As an emperor, as a ruler of a country, you can’t have weaknesses! And you, your weakness is the people beside you! Haha...” Yu Shu said, then laughed loudly, ”As the Southern Emperor, to willingly be a hostage for an Itinerant World woman, Gu Changsheng, do you want to make a name in Jianghu? To gain a reputation for being sentimental and righteous? Fine! I’ll grant your wish today! However, I said I would make you wish for death rather than life, it’s not just empty words!”

”Don’t you want Beauty Sai and her child to be safe? Fine! Trade your son for them! I want your son, Gu Yaoyao!”

Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, immediately widened her eyes, bit her lips tightly, a fierce light flashed in her Phoenix Eyes, and her hand clenched tightly under her sleeve!

Zhou Mu’s face was even more somber, a cold aura emanating instantly.

”Haha... what’s wrong? Gu Changsheng, you don’t want to? Heartache? Hard to choose? Aren’t you sentimental and righteous, then hand over your son! Haha... haha...”

The surroundings fell silent, only Yu Shu’s laughter was deranged.

Beauty Sai’s face turned pale, cold sweat seeped from her forehead, slowly flowing down her swollen cheeks, soaking her clothes. She nervously protected her large belly, eyes wide open staring at Gu Changsheng, shaking her head slowly...

With her movement, the dagger suspended at her neck immediately left a slight blood mark on her pale neck.

The blood bead seeped out, terrifyingly clear, making one’s heart feel torn with pain!

”No! Don’t mind me...”

Already full-term, and now affected by the servant girl’s short dagger, Beauty Sai’s condition was very bad, yet her gaze was still firm as she spoke.

No!

Don’t worry about her!

Don’t use little benefactor to exchange her safety!

No! No!

”Xi Shi...” A man doesn’t shed tears easily, only because he hasn’t reached the point of heartbreak. Guo Luo looked at his wife, with tears streaming down his rugged face. In deep sorrow, he forgot about his wife for a moment, decisively turned his head, and respectfully addressed Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, speaking solemnly, ”This is the Guo family’s business and has nothing to do with the Southern Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I kindly ask both of you to return to the Guest Garden for now, and not inquire further into this matter.”

”Southern Emperor and Crown Prince, please return first. Our Guo family has stood in the Itinerant World for over a hundred years and would never commit such a wrongful act that implicates others!” Elder Guo also spoke, cupping his hands in respect.

”The calamity your Guo family faces today stems from me and Zhou Mu, I apologize for the trouble, but I cannot stand by and do nothing!” Gu Changsheng shook his head slowly and said firmly and unquestionably.

Beside him, Zhou Mu glanced at his little woman and slowly nodded his head.

”Southern Emperor, though the matter started due to you, Yu Shu was originally a servant of our Guo family. Ultimately, it was our Guo family’s poor judgment to employ such a malicious servant. How then can it be blamed on you? Southern Emperor, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mu, stay out of this, even if my daughter-in-law faces an unforeseen fate today, it is destiny for our Guo family, and we would never lay blame on either of you. Please...” Elder Guo shook his head, speaking in a deep voice as his aged body grew more hunched, appearing instantly older.

Using the Southern Emperor’s son, that little child, to trade for the safety of his daughter-in-law and grandchild, how could he do such a thing?

Even if the Guo family isn’t a scholarly family, they would never do such heartless and unjust things!

”Yu Shu uses Xi Shi to threaten the Southern Emperor, only relying on the Southern Emperor’s pure nature, but you are the Southern Emperor. Indeed, as she said, as an Emperor, you should have no apprehensions. Southern Emperor, you should let this go...” Guo Luo spoke in a low, painful voice.

”Hahaha... What a noble Itinerant World righteousness, heroic spirit and gallant virtue! Gu Changsheng, the father and son of the Guo family have gone to such lengths for you, what about you? What will you do? I only want your son!” Upon hearing this, Yu Shu laughed even more recklessly, ”I only want your son! As long as your son falls into my hands, I will immediately release Beauty Sai without harming her life! Gu Changsheng, what are you waiting for? Is your son’s life worth any less than the unborn child in Sai Xi Shi’s belly? You claim to be guiltless before the world, yet if you don’t hand over your son, will you have peace of mind from now on? Can you live up to the Guo family’s kind hospitality and mutual trust? Hahaha...”

”Enough talk! Someone come! Go to the Guest Garden and bring my son here!” Gu Changsheng’s eyes pierced intensely as he stared at Yu Shu not far away, yelling in a low voice to the person behind him.

”Southern Emperor!”

”No!”

”Don’t!”

”...”

The father and son of the Guo family, Beauty Sai shook their heads and spoke immediately upon hearing this.

With a sweep of his long sleeves, Gu Changsheng gazed steadfastly at Yu Shu, unmoved, with a sharp curve at the corner of his mouth, saying in a low voice, ”As you wish, I will trade my son for Sai Xi Shi and the safety of the child in her womb. Yu Shu, you’ve done well, truly well!”

In the end, Gu Changsheng enunciated each word with a hint of clenched teeth.

Zhou Mu waved to a baffled young man nearby, signaling him to go to the Guest Garden and summon Little Meat Bun.

”Ha! Indeed, you are the Southern Emperor! Willingly sacrificing your own son to gain the reputation of being affectionate and righteous. Gu Changsheng, how will future generations evaluate you, this pioneering, conquering generation’s Empress? You are destined to be remembered in history for eternity, admired by future generations! Truly unprecedented and unparalleled, envied by others!” Yu Shu, hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, was momentarily halted in her frenzied gaze, speaking weakly, ”A woman like you, one in a million, like me, who thrives in the shadows, only yearns for the love of one man. Yet you, gazing upon the world, owning a kingdom, took the life of my beloved, as a woman, you killed my true love, so I cannot coexist with you, Gu Changsheng. I’m aware I cannot defeat you, but you have weaknesses; your weakness is that you still have a heart. As an Emperor, holding great power, this heart will be your downfall. As an emperor, you must be cold and ruthless, casting away all for lasting dominance, but you cannot, you cannot! Eventually, you will fall into Avici Hell!”

”This world, a generation’s Empress, is merely ephemeral, leaving a bold mark in the history books and no more, no more... haha...”

Gu Changsheng’s face remained calm, listening to Yu Shu’s seemingly mad words without saying a word.

Meanwhile, beside him, Zhou Mu’s expression grew icier, emitting tangible coldness, his deep dark eyes unfathomable and turbulent.

”What of the Southern Emperor? One day, you will be trapped, unable to escape the massive net. You, and the man you love, everything you cherish, all of it will turn to dust, gone forever! Gone forever! You will all be buried with my Brother Ao! You will all be buried with my Brother Ao! Haha...” Yu Shu clutched the dagger in her hand, laughing madly, her voice shrill and hoarse, her face twisted, ”Unavoidable! Unavoidable! None of you can escape! All of this, this world! No one can escape, no one...”
