Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1158: Chapter 826: The Enemy in the Shadows, She in the Light!

Just stood up, before having a chance to feel touched, Empress Dowager Xiao heard these words, looking at the cheekily smiling Gu Changsheng, Empress Dowager Xiao’s old face twisted instantly, glaring bitterly, she spoke, ”You! You rascal! If you don’t speak, I can let loose, really help Liaodong well, but with just one word from you, how can I act freely? Huh? Huh? Huh? Is there anyone more unscrupulous than you?”

Even people’s thoughts can be guessed thoroughly, and one sentence completely blocks them!

This is really unscrupulous!

Too unscrupulous!

Empress Dowager Xiao was furious!

”Hehe...” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng chuckled smugly, then patted Empress Dowager Xiao on the shoulder earnestly, speaking energetically, ”Why bother, Empress Xiao? You’ve been found out by me, are you getting angry out of shame?”

”You!” Empress Dowager Xiao was too angry to speak.

”No worries, no worries! Calm down, calm down!” Seeing this, Gu Changsheng quickly continued, ”Liaodong is at least your homeland, it’s understandable you have this thought, if you didn’t, that would be insincere, I understand! I understand!”

”If you understand, why do you speak?” Empress Dowager Xiao gave Gu Changsheng a glare, raised a hand to destroy the claw Gu Changsheng placed on her shoulder, rolled her eyes dramatically, ”You spoke so plainly, how embarrassing for me! I’ve taken on this tough task of yours, even if there’s no credit, there’s hard work, right? You ask me to do some undercover work, benefiting Liaodong a bit, would that kill you?”

”Hehe! It won’t, it won’t! Do as you please, do as you please! Even if you want to move the Heavenly Palace to your Liaodong, I don’t mind! Really!” Gu Changsheng grinned impudently.

”You! I’ve never met anyone as reckless as you!” Empress Dowager Xiao was truly at a loss with Gu Changsheng, ”Just a moment ago you were calling me senior at every turn, and now look at you! You little girl, you haven’t even crossed the river yet and you’re already thinking about dismantling the bridge!”

”How could I?” Gu Changsheng protested, righteous and confident, ”I usually only dismantle the bridge once I’ve crossed it, really!”

”You! Get away from me, I don’t want to see you at all!” Empress Dowager Xiao, angered by Gu Changsheng, lifted her foot to kick at her, ”Is this how you ask someone for something? Even if I offered Liaodong, I’m still a person with a fief! I could have led a peaceful life, yet you ask me to work tirelessly for you, doing such thankless tasks, just waiting for you to dismantle the bridge?”

”Hehe! It’s you who keeps insisting on dismantling the bridge! I actually had no intention of dismantling it!” Gu Changsheng dodged Empress Dowager Xiao’s kicking foot, smirked cheekily, completely unlike her previous serious demeanor.

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at her current expression, helplessly shook her head, couldn’t help but raise a hand to lightly poke her forehead, speaking fondly, ”You! Everyone says you have the look of a dragon and phoenix, destined for greatness! But look at you, any sign of that? You’re just like a little rogue on the street!”

Empress Dowager Xiao’s actions, her expression, very much had the air of an elder lecturing a younger member of the family.

This demeanor, Gu Changsheng found very gratifying, her eyes curved with her smile.

Truth be told, in all the world, there were really not many people who dared to act as her elder in front of Gu Changsheng. Mr. Ban Shan was one, her father was another, and even Emperor Zhoulin couldn’t bring himself to act as an elder in front of her!

Thinking about it, Gu Changsheng felt, in truth, she was quite pitiful!

She had barely experienced what it was like to be a junior!

Yet, this feeling was surprisingly nice!

Hehe...

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Gu Changsheng who was smiling with such delight, again shook her head, poked her forehead gently again and continued, ”You, you! Knowing the road ahead is unknown, fortune and misfortune undetermined, why insist on taking this journey? If your mother were still in the world, seeing you like this, she certainly wouldn’t agree.”

Gu Changsheng’s head bobbed back and forth, sniffed and slowly spoke, ”Originally it was just my own desire to go, feeling unfinished, regretting to die without resolution, I wanted parents both alive, to have a complete sense, it was a bit greedy, but now it seems, I have no choice!”

”Senior, some people wield others as chess pieces, and I have already become a chess piece in someone else’s hand, I have no choice! Not knowing who the opponent is, nor knowing how capable he is, we can only be passive, go along with his intention, make him think everything is under control, to avoid a fight to the finish that spoils everything!”

Despite her seeming indifference, lacking the demeanor of a Southern Emperor, she always knew deep down she belonged to the Southern Emperor!

Liaodong, just outside Xunyang City, can dispatch so many Wolf Transform experts, as for Great Zhou and Southern Country, Gu Changsheng dared not imagine!

The enemy is hidden; she’s in the open!

They currently had no idea how many cards the opponent held, what exactly they were plotting!

Now the opponent’s fox tail is showing, and if they fluster and change their pace, it will only disrupt the opponent’s move, and if they’re forced to reveal all their cards, go for broke, then nobody will have fun, that would be bad!

Dowager Empress Xiao heard this, her expression first froze, then turned to comprehension.

”So, senior, I’m like fish on the chopping board now, every move is under watch, it’s not like I want to be reckless, but I have no choice!” Gu Changsheng said bitterly, sighing repeatedly.

If at first she and the evildoer eloped northward on a whim, now, they are forced to move on!

Someone knowingly spurred the Northern Mongolian chaos, pushing them forward, it’s as if a pair of invisible hands are driving the change, leaving them with no choice but to continue north!

Depressing, right?

Couldn’t be more depressing than this!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but grit her teeth, cursing continuously, ”Damn it, don’t let me catch that chess player, or I swear I’ll tear him apart and make soup!”

She absolutely hates being led by the nose!

This feeling, honestly, is quite uncomfortable, absolutely awful!

”Boasting now is a bit premature, since that person could cause such a stir outside Xunyang City, the road ahead may not be peaceful, you need to be careful and cautious!” Dowager Empress Xiao shook her head, solemnly advising.

”But, preventing thieves forever is easier said than done?” Gu Changsheng sighed, scratching her head with some frustration, but soon calmed down, ”Given the current situation, they still hold back, not causing major events in Liaodong. If they really knew of me and Zhou Mu but chose to act on the little meat bun, it means they want to catch our weak spot. That’s good news in a way—since they want us to continue north, we’ll do just that, they didn’t set up the battleground in Liaodong, which is fortunately unfortunate. I want to see what they really want at the end of this game!”

”You have such clear thought!” Dowager Empress Xiao was genuinely impressed with Gu Changsheng’s clarity.

”No choice, since we’re pawns, we must have the awareness of being pawns!” Gu Changsheng sighed long and hard.

”Heh heh...” Dowager Empress Xiao chuckled helplessly, ”I’ll adjust my health here a bit, and arrange Liaodong’s affairs. Three days later, I’ll return to Capital City, in these three days, come to me whenever you have time. I’ll tell you all the secret scouts and forces hidden in Liaodong so you won’t run into trouble.”

”Wow!” Before Dowager Empress Xiao finished, Gu Changsheng exclaimed, looking at her in amazement, ”Not just hidden scouts, but secret forces too, senior, you’re not honest! You didn’t mention these in the state document! You kept a reserve!”

”You’re good at joking around! Everyone keeps a reserve! These days, people’s hearts are hard to predict!” Dowager Empress Xiao said unapologetically and righteously.

”I don’t! I let you handle the world affairs!” Gu Changsheng immediately raised her chin, saying proudly.

How genuine she is!

In this wide world, who has a bigger heart than her? She entrusted the whole world to outsiders to manage!

This is called being open-minded, understand? Understand?

Darn it!

Even Gu Changsheng admires herself! She succumbs to her own charm, indulging in self-admiration!

”Such a trouble-maker!” Dowager Empress Xiao was left speechless by Gu Changsheng, helplessly saying, ”Aren’t I telling you now?”

”No, not now! You’ve taken your medicine and rested without worries, but you don’t know I’ve been busy all morning and I’m still hungry! I need to eat! Beauty Sai was frightened, I need to check her pulse, I’m very busy!” Gu Changsheng said, clutching her stomach and running out, while saying, ”All those idle matters, tell them to the evildoer later, he remembers well, let him remember!”

”You girl! Liaodong is your dowry territory, not Zhou Mu’s much!” Dowager Empress Xiao yelled at Gu Changsheng’s back, helpless at her dodging responsibilities.

”Why talk about family matters like outsiders? He wouldn’t sell me, would he? Besides, if he really wanted to sell me, I’d probably help him count the money!” Gu Changsheng waved her hand without even turning her head.

The evildoer’s mind is so deep even she can’t fathom it!

She just needs to know his heart, the rest, even if Gu Changsheng is confident in her intelligence, she better give up!

She can’t escape the evildoer’s Five Fingers Mountain, calculating against him? That’s simply asking for trouble!
