Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1159: Chapter 827: The Mouthy Mother and Son!

How self-aware is she, Gu Changsheng!

She definitely has some self-awareness!

Take what happened today, if the evildoer hadn’t brought it up, her scatterbrained self never would have figured it out, right? As soon as she took a step outside, he threw her the military command token of the Great Zhou, obviously knowing she’d be off to make arrangements with the Empress Dowager!

Gu Changsheng suddenly felt like the evildoer knew exactly what she was about to do even before she did!

Gu Changsheng shook herself out of her own funny thoughts, embarrassed by them!

Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed!

She was starving, so why on earth was she thinking about poo?

Enough!

She better find something to eat!

Meanwhile, Zhou Mu had already tidied up Little Bun, even redoing his hair!

Gu Changsheng looked at the cute little buns on her son’s head and felt slightly embarrassed.

Darn! They looked way better than the little topknots she used to make for him, right?

Thinking back, her son had always resisted the topknots she made. And now, look at his smug little face, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt a small pang of pain in her heart...

This was her son!

Why was he closer to the evildoer than to her?

This didn’t make sense!

It hurt too much!

”Let’s go!” Zhou Mu held Little Bun and reached out to Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng suddenly felt the scene before her was quite a bit dazzling, this Little Melon Baby was leaning on the evildoer’s shoulder with such a silly grin, darn it!

Not only did he disdain her, his own mother, he even refused to let her bathe him, wouldn’t sleep with her, and yet clung onto her man!

This was simply intolerable!

So, without a word, Gu Changsheng reached out a claw and snatched her son out of Zhou Mu’s arms, placing him angrily on the ground!

”Mom?” Pulled away from the warm embrace, Little Bun looked distressed, his big round eyes wetly staring at his mother, looking forlorn.

Looking at her son, who still looked a bit pale, Gu Changsheng’s heart ached, but she stiffened her neck and said, righteously, ”Didn’t you want to be a hero destined to save the world? Which hero clings to people like a koala? Are your legs just for show? Walk by yourself!”

Every little boy dreams of being a hero!

Just like how all men have their own Brokeback Mountain!

Little Bun’s eyes sparkled at the words ”hero destined to save the world,” and he shook off Zhou Mu’s hand, held his head high, and walked forward, ”Uncle Wood, I don’t need you to carry me! I’m going to be a hero!”

Zhou Mu: ”...”

The emptiness of his embrace, his empty hand.

Zhou Mu looked a bit startled, his handsomely crafted face turned slightly toward the little woman who was sniffing and pouting to his side, eyes shimmering, barely opened his lips, and then closed them, finally saying, ”Is everything arranged with the Empress Dowager?”

”Yes! Everything’s arranged!” Gu Changsheng nodded, looking at Zhou Mu’s understanding expression, her own expression turned slightly awkward, she raised a hand to touch her nose; she really wanted to tell this markedly mischievous man that she really wasn’t jealous!

Really not jealous!

Really...

Just... a bit jealous...

Okay!

Gu Changsheng conceded to herself!

”Changsheng...” Zhou Mu’s face, as if meticulously sculpted by the gods, briefly flashed a smile, his lips curved into a captivating arc, his voice low and slightly hoarse.

Gu Changsheng shuddered upon hearing this name call!

She felt her goosebumps could almost fly away!

It was just her name, how come when he said it, it could make such twists and turns? The implications were so deep, damn it, it really made people want to run away!

Wanting to escape, Gu Changsheng really did run!

She sprinted towards Little Bun, babbling as she went, ”You have no idea, Empress Dowager Xiao was so joyous! Yesterday she was dirt poor, but now, with the blink of an eye, she’s got the whole world, becoming the acting ruler, excited to the point her body, that’s almost on its last breath, was shaking with excitement!”

Zhou Mu saw her flee and shook his head with a fond smile, walking after her.

Nearby, the Empress Dowager Xiao, who had just changed her clothes and come out of the guest room, heard this and her old face suddenly froze!

Watching that darting figure in the Guest Garden, Empress Dowager Xiao’s face changed through red, green, blue, and finally settled on black, she took a deep breath, and shouted, ”Gu Changsheng! Stop right there! I want to battle with you for three hundred rounds!”

This girl!

This girl!

She’s really driving her crazy!

That’s not the way to insult people!

What do you mean she’s delighted? She’s obviously reluctantly following orders, isn’t she? She took this thankless task as a household servant, and, damn it, didn’t gain a single good outcome. If she does well, it’s her duty as a servant, but if she fails, it’s her being two-faced. Who is she doing this for? Why bother?

Also, what do you mean her near ancient body is almost shivering?

She wasn’t shivering at that moment!

Now she’s really shivering!

She’s been infuriated by Gu Changsheng, this damn stubborn girl!

”Ah! Empress Xiao has come out! Caught in the act! Run!” No sooner had she run out of the Guest Garden and met up with her son than she heard this shout behind her. Gu Changsheng swiftly jumped, grabbed the Little Bun from the ground, and sprinted towards the direction of the Guo Family Dining Hall.

Talking bad about people and got caught in the act!

So embarrassing!

No more words!

Run for it!

She doesn’t want to battle the Empress Dowager for three hundred rounds!

Damn it, she really can’t handle this old lady. Although her inner strength was stronger than Empress Dowager Xiao’s, tearing down the bridge before crossing the river is surely improper, right?

Moreover, Empress Dowager Xiao had experienced countless battles. Even if she couldn’t exert her full power, dealing with her unstable inner strength is still more than enough. Gu Changsheng didn’t want to be chased all over again by Empress Dowager Xiao wielding a wooden club; she was genuinely afraid of Empress Dowager Xiao’s Brow Sweeping Stick!

At their first encounter in the Capital City, she was chased and could no longer maintain a dignified appearance; Gu Changsheng was still traumatized, very much traumatized!

”Mom, how did you offend Granny Xiao?” Clinging to his mother’s shoulder, looking at Granny Xiao chasing closely behind, Little Bun was greatly amused and laughed while asking.

”Nothing, nothing! Mom just spoke a few truth words, which Granny Xiao didn’t quite like to hear.” Gu Changsheng replied as she ran.

”Huh? What did you say? Granny Xiao is really good-tempered, she usually doesn’t get angry...” Little Bun became interested.

”I just said she’s aging quickly...” Gu Changsheng said sheepishly, couldn’t help but pat her own mouth.

Cheap!

Really cheap!

It’s all this mouth!

Talking about people behind their backs, got caught red-handed, didn’t she?

”Uh... Mom, that’s your fault...” Little Bun said earnestly upon hearing, ”Though Granny is indeed very old and her hair is all white, her face’s wrinkles are almost like Little Meat’s sharpei, still, you shouldn’t say it so blatantly!”

”...”

Gu Changsheng was speechless.

”Gu Changsheng! Gu Yaoyao! You two! Stand still for this palace!”

Behind them, Empress Dowager Xiao’s rage-filled roar echoed across the sky once again.

”Son, my mouth is already quite cheap, but yours is even cheaper!” Gu Changsheng glanced speechlessly at her own son, and plunged headfirst into the Guo Family’s dining hall where Father and Son were located.

Damn it!

With her son’s words, don’t you see Empress Dowager Xiao already enraged to the point of jumping like a cat on hot bricks?

Angrier than before!

”How am I cheap? Mom, you’re scolding me! You’re spreading rumors!” Little Bun disagreed strongly, refuted, must refute.

”Even if Granny Xiao is old, she’s still a woman, and women are born to love beauty. You actually said her hair is white and the wrinkles on her face are like a sharpei, aren’t you being cheap then?” Gu Changsheng bluntly stated.

”Uh...” Little Bun was suddenly at a loss for words.

Outside the dining hall, Father and Son of the Guo Family had long been bowing in welcome, watching the mother and son duo fleeing like they were escaping a disaster, their expressions somewhat bewildered.

”Southern Emperor?” Guo Luo was puzzled, looking at the elderly person chasing from behind, his mouth twitched slightly, speaking hesitantly, ”Southern Emperor, take it easy, our family’s temple is small and can’t withstand Empress Dowager Xiao’s anger...”

His Guo family is in Liaodong!

Liaodong is Empress Dowager Xiao’s territory!

Although the Imperial Court and the Itinerant World are unrelated, still, with his mansion built on other people’s territory, some oversight from them is inevitable!

Seeing Empress Dowager Xiao’s anger, Guo Luo didn’t doubt for a moment that their home could, in the old lady’s fury, vanish in an instant!

”Ha ha... Guo Luo, is breakfast ready? Can we eat now?” Gu Changsheng glanced behind her, asking this as she swiftly moved and sat at a guest seat in the dining hall as if nothing had happened.

Empress Dowager Xiao chased in, only to see the mother and son duo sitting at the dining table!

The two of them looked so proper and nonchalant, as if nothing had happened, greeting her.

”Ha ha! Senior, please take a seat, the meal is about to get cold!” Gu Changsheng blinked her big eyes, gesturing an invitation to Empress Dowager Xiao.

”Hehe! Granny, eat up, eat! Being full helps you grow tall!” Little Bun also spoke pleasingly.

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Xiao was instantly boiling with anger, but with Father and Son of the Guo family right before her, she couldn’t act out in front of outsiders, merely breathed twice in irritation, and said angrily, ”I, of this palace, am almost at the end of my days. Even if I eat more, I’m afraid I won’t grow tall!”

”Hehe...”

”Hehe...”

Gu Changsheng and Little Bun’s mother-and-son duo giggled awkwardly, their expression really seemed as if carved from the same mold, identical!
