Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1232: Chapter 898: Finally, I’ve Seen a Real Cut Sleeve!

Because, how is that protection at all, that’s clearly an assassination!

Gu Changsheng felt that with such a group of hidden guards following her, she wouldn’t even need to wait for someone with improper thoughts to do something to her; she’d be smothered to death by her own guards first!

Actually, that shameless Empress Xiao left these people for her to use, just to frustrate her and choke her, right?

What a malicious intention!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but give three cheers for that shameless old Empress Dowager Xiao!

This move is brilliant!

Truly brilliant!

Killing without blood, it completely takes a person’s life without them even knowing it!

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Older ginger is spicier, this is truly impossible to guard against!

Seeing his own woman rarely at a loss, the corners of Zhou Mu’s mouth slightly curved up, his face like that of a divine residence showing indulgent helplessness. His woman, such a playfully rebellious spirit, it’s rare to see something that makes her helpless, this feeling is really quite subtle.

It’s not exactly gloating, but in any case, seeing the woman beside him with a tangled and helpless expression, Zhou Mu suddenly felt in a really good mood!

Just then, Gu Changsheng tilted her head to glance at Zhou Mu beside her.

With just one look, Gu Changsheng’s mood plummeted to the bottom.

Because, on the face of her own evildoer, she saw a hint of stealing joy!

Was he really that happy because of her misfortune?

Gu Changsheng’s heart cried!

She thought, she’s probably had it too smooth sailing in front of her own evildoer, not giving her evildoer any chance to see her in distress!

Look, just because someone made things a bit difficult for her, her evildoer is this pleased, his whole face full of spring breeze, if someone didn’t know, they’d think his life was perfectly harmonious!

Jin Rong came back quickly, and with him was the reluctant-faced Wang Buer!

The moment Gu Changsheng saw Wang Buer, her face darkened!

Because, the way Wang Buer looked at her, it was just too blatant!

What is this?

An inquiry?

”Umm... Master, what do you actually look like? Are you a beauty? There’s a rumor outside saying, you’re an unmatched beauty...” Wang Buer rubbed his hands, hesitantly and nervously said, but with no intention of giving up on his question.

Even though he asked so frankly, even Gu Changsheng felt, damn it, this waiter liking beauties seemed so reasonable!

Of course, that’s not the most important thing...

The most important thing is, Gu Changsheng was amused by Wang Buer’s words!

”There’s a rumor outside that I’m an unmatched beauty?” Gu Changsheng touched her chin, looking at Wang Buer in front of her with interest, smiling with a look of ease and self-satisfaction, ”Damn, there’s such a rumor outside, why didn’t you tell me? I always thought, in the eyes of the world, I was some monster with three heads and six arms, starry eyes and a tiger-like face! Turns out my reputation outside is so good!”

Haha!

This feeling, how refreshingly sharp, isn’t it?

Suddenly being called a beauty, it was a bit much for Gu Changsheng who always thought of herself as indistinguishable from the crowd!

A pleasant surprise!

This is definitely a pleasant surprise!

No wonder ancient people said, rumors, the person concerned is always the last to know, this saying is indeed true, the ancients did not deceive me!

Gu Changsheng suddenly felt, Wang Buer in front of her wasn’t so odd anymore and looked rather pleasing, he was quite good at talking, just one sentence unknowingly amused her!

Good person!

He’s indeed a good person!

”Alright! Wang Buer, if you want to know what I look like, it’s not difficult, the premise is, can you let me go to the Dark Market?” Gu Changsheng still remembered her purpose, ”We came this time, just for the auction at the Dark Market tonight! If you don’t let me in, I really won’t cooperate physically or otherwise!”

Listening to his master’s threat, Wang Buer’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch slightly, ”Well, Master if you want to not cooperate physically please feel free, anyways this income of undercover pawn at the Border Pass is to support all the undercover pawns of Liaodong, for this, I don’t know how many abacuses I’ve broken, calculating meticulously and all, and still have to personally come here to sit and receive guests, rumor has it, Master you are undoubtedly the wealthiest in the world, why not withdraw the undercover pawn from this place, and let me wash off and retire?”

”Uh...” Gu Changsheng was speechless upon hearing this.

What should she say to this?

So this undercover pawn located at the North Border Pass of Liaodong is actually the economic source for all the undercover pawns in Liaodong?

Gu Changsheng blinked her eyes, a hint of admiration flashing in her gaze.

Damn, that Dowager Empress Xiao really is a crafty old fox!

Look at the business she’s doing!

She claims she’s raised countless undercover pawns for the Liaodong Royal Family, spread throughout various cities. In reality? Those undercover pawns all have their own identities and sources of income on the surface. Not only that, she has also taken advantage of her position in charge of the Southern Border to strongly facilitate collusion between officials and bandits, fully satisfying the self-sufficiency of her undercover pawns...

Ah, awesome!

If the Dowager Empress Xiao didn’t go into business, it would be an absolute waste of talent!

With this kind of mind, in modern times, she would be a master at turning nothing into something, she would definitely become a CEO!

Upon considering her own identity as the Southern Emperor, Gu Changsheng instantly felt that the Dowager Empress Xiao’s strategy was not bad at all and that she could totally draw lessons from it!

Gu Changsheng was discussing with Wang Buer and Jin Rong about going to the backyard of the Black Shop tavern, while the thugs in the tavern, who were a bit farther away, listened in sporadically. However, they clearly heard one thing, which was that they heard Wang Buer address this woman as master!

Just this one sentence made the thugs in the tavern instantly understand!

No wonder this person has been wearing a mask since she came in, turns out, it’s her...

Their master is Dowager Empress Xiao, but under such circumstances, the likelihood of Dowager Empress Xiao reincarnating to a younger age is low, so there is only one possibility, this person is the one for whom Dowager Empress Xiao made the entire nation bow and surrender!

The Southern Emperor of the Southern Country, the unique Empress of the world, Gu Changsheng!

Upon realizing Gu Changsheng’s identity, the people in the tavern’s gaze towards her changed instantly!

It is this woman who, as a woman, broke the world’s perception of women, overthrowing the thousand-year status of male superiority and female inferiority, rising in the Southern Border, unifying the south, and claiming the Imperial Throne! Becoming an existence beneath whom only one stands above, but whom thousands stand below!

Ordinary people revere the Southern Emperor because of her status and her position among officials!

For people like them, undercover pawns and hidden guards, they revere the Southern Emperor because she broke through existing shackles and her spirit of daring to be the first in the world!

Who else in the world is this capable of conjuring storms at will, as this woman is? Even the once-mighty Dowager Empress Xiao isn’t she bowing and surrendering before this woman?

In this era, and countless eras after, the legend of this woman will be eternal!

This is a woman who expands territories and makes the impossible possible!

Thus, in the Black Shop tavern, the previously dubious thugs suddenly straightened up, full of energy, their faces flushed, standing as upright as soldiers waiting for review!

When Wang Buer brought the list of auction items as per Gu Changsheng’s instructions, he saw his subordinates, each with a serious and respectful look as if they were naive youths, and his face twitched immediately!

”Do you have to be like this? I’ve never seen you this disciplined before, and now that the master is here, you’re all so fawning and upright?” Wang Buer pouted, looking at the row of people following closely behind Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, feeling extremely annoyed, ”Don’t forget, it’s me who feeds you!”

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu heard this and exchanged glances, then burst into laughter.

”This Wang Buer is quite a character!” Gu Changsheng said with a smile, looking at Jin Rong.

Upon hearing this, Jin Rong’s heart was filled with sweat.

They are undercover pawns of the Liaodong Royal Family by birth, and handed down through generations, there were inevitably one or two failures among them!

And this Wang Buer, is the most useless one!

”Ahem... Master, actually, he really is a character...” Jin Rong thought for a moment, before speaking, ”Wang Buer’s father made unparalleled contributions to Liaodong. By tradition, this kid should have stayed in the Capital Peaceful Land, but...”

At this point, Jin Rong paused, glanced at Wang Buer who was rifling through account books, and continued quietly, ”But, five years ago, during Liaodong’s selection of officials, this guy fell for someone from a noble family...”

”Uh...” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened, and she blinked her lips, ”He fell for a lady? Or a gentleman?”

Hearing this, Jin Rong wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with embarrassment, ”Master’s sharp eyes, it was indeed a gentleman...”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth and instinctively moved a little closer to her evildoer!

Oh my!

She thought so, if Wang Buer had fallen for a little lady, Jin Rong would not have had the look of having eaten a fly!

Gu Changsheng was absolutely certain, with her Fiery Eyes, that all of Wang Buer’s external physiological features clearly suggested that he was a man!

And from what Jin Rong implied, this man turned out to be damn crooked! Crooked!

Holding her evildoer’s arm, Gu Changsheng pursed her lips, blinking her Phoenix Eyes, looking seriously at Wang Buer busy behind the counter trying to find her account books...

Gu Changsheng’s reaction left Jin Rong a bit unsure. Under normal circumstances, this person was already their rightful master, who naturally has the right to know everything about her subordinates. So what was this reaction about?

”Master, you?”

”Don’t bother me! I’ve lived so long, and I’ve finally seen a real broken sleeve! Let me admire it...” Gu Changsheng waved her hand at Jin Rong, her eyes still fixated on Wang Buer...
