Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1365: Chapter 1022: You Betrayed Our Love?

Gu Changsheng, sitting on the bed, was taken aback upon hearing the words.

His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mu is outside the hall... His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mu is outside the hall...

This sentence echoed in Gu Changsheng’s mind, rendering her momentarily lost...

To meet or not to meet?

Shaking her head!

”No! I don’t want to see him!”

Gu Changsheng spoke almost anxiously.

Now, at this moment, after knowing the whole truth, Gu Changsheng had to admit she lacked the courage to see Zhou Mu or even know how to face him!

Palace Maid Ling Xi heard Gu Changsheng’s reply, and couldn’t help but show a hint of a smile on her delicate little face, bowing, and retreating...

Is this the result Sister Shi Wei wanted?

The Southern Emperor ignores His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mu...

In that case, doesn’t this give her Hall Master a chance?

Recalling the scene of her Hall Master frantically fleeing upon Crown Prince Mu’s arrival, Ling Xi felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She had never seen her Hall Master so lacking in confidence, avoiding in such a sorry state...

Now it’s better. Although Sister Shi Wei has died, the Southern Emperor and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mu have finally erected a barrier, a ravine that is difficult to cross!

Ling Xi suddenly remembered the words Shi Wei had spoken before; she was indeed still young, unfamiliar with the human heart, not knowing how to sway it!

See, sometimes it only takes a few words, a few misleading facts, to complicate a problem that could have been solved with just a few statements, eventually evolving into such a scene!

Turning around, Ling Xi took a breath, a trace of a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. It now seemed that Sister Shi Wei’s death and her Hall Master’s efforts were all worth it!

”Wait!”

But before Ling Xi could leave the Heaven Deceiving Hall, a hurried call echoed behind her.

Ling Xi, upon hearing this, immediately turned back and saw Gu Changsheng struggling to sit up from the white jade bed!

Gu Changsheng looked intently at the already far-walking Ling Xi, hesitated, yet resolutely spoke as if determined, ”Let him come in!”

”Southern Emperor?” Ling Xi was immediately shocked upon hearing this, looking incredulously at Gu Changsheng.

”Let him come in!”

After saying this, Gu Changsheng seemed to use up all her strength, lay back on the bed, gazing blankly at the ceiling.

While Ling Xi stood in place, her brows tightly knit, this wasn’t the result she wanted!

Yet, wanting to speak, she knew she couldn’t match Sister Shi Wei’s intricate mind, feared misjudging, and creating the opposite effect. But is it really okay to let the Southern Emperor and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mu, who know the whole truth, meet?

Instinctively, Ling Xi felt it wasn’t good!

Yet, she didn’t know how to respond...

Previously, Shi Wei had always managed things with ease in front, but now, Shi Wei was dead, everything was left to her alone, and though she followed Shi Wei for a long time, she couldn’t quite manage as she did...

After hesitating, Ling Xi still bowed and went out to call Zhou Mu in.

While Gu Changsheng lay on the bed, her long eyelashes drooping slightly, her face in a state of reverie...

To meet or not meet Zhou Mu...

Originally, she didn’t want to meet, her instincts wanted to avoid it!

But that was just a moment of cowardice in her heart, after all, she, Gu Changsheng, was never someone cowardly, who would think only of running away when faced with issues!

Not knowing was fine, but once she knew, Gu Changsheng would never allow her and Zhou Mu to continue being entangled like this!

Thinking about how Zhou Mu had been hesitant to speak several times in the past few days, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh...

”Changsheng?”

At this moment, a worried, deep voice sounded above Gu Changsheng’s head.

As soon as Gu Changsheng opened her eyes, she saw Zhou Mu in a purple-gold robe, quickly leaning over to her bedside!

”Zhou Mu! Stop right there!”

With her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, Gu Changsheng instinctively raised her hand, interrupting Zhou Mu’s intention to kneel by the bed.

This voice, carrying a hint of urgency and rejection, instantly made Zhou Mu’s figure freeze in place. A touch of astonishment and hurt flashed across his face, which was like that of a divine being...

Gu Changsheng saw the look of hurt in Zhou Mu’s eyes, her long lashes slightly lowered, couldn’t help but feel a bit gloomy, but she still took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Mu, and said in a deep voice, ”Zhou Mu, I’ve always forgotten to ask you, in your eyes, what kind of woman am I, Gu Changsheng?”

Zhou Mu was once again taken aback by Gu Changsheng’s question, a look of disbelief flashing across his face, his deep eyes unfathomable, and he said in a deep voice, ”Why do you ask?”

”Why do I ask? Haha...” Gu Changsheng heard this and gave a mocking smile, supporting herself on the bed, leaning towards Zhou Mu by the bedside, and continued in a deep voice, ”Why do I ask this? Because I’m hurt! I’m very hurt, Zhou Mu!”

”You...” Zhou Mu heard this, took a tentative step forward, but his steps halted again under Gu Changsheng’s rejecting gaze.

Stopping Zhou Mu from getting closer with her eyes, Gu Changsheng grasped the thin quilt on the bed with both hands and continued in a deep voice, ”Zhou Mu, I know I am naturally aloof, but I, Gu Changsheng, value my promises above all. I once promised you, in this life, as long as you don’t betray me, I will not betray you! But in your heart, what kind of person am I?”

”...” Zhou Mu heard this, his expression slightly changed, wanting to speak, but suddenly didn’t know what to say. He was usually so perceptive, and seeing Gu Changsheng’s face, he knew she was very unusual today, as if something was about to happen...

Usually, she would never call him Zhou Mu, always calling him evildoer, and only she would call him that. Over time, it became a habit, but today, suddenly hearing her call him by his full name, Zhou Mu felt so unaccustomed, as if an invisible distance mysteriously lay between them, making it hard to bridge...

”I am naturally unrestrained and like beauty, so you just assume that I would be interested in Shi Wujue’s appearance? Zhou Mu, in your heart, am I just a woman who changes affections easily?” Staring at Zhou Mu intently, Gu Changsheng leaned forward again and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing Gu Changsheng mention Shi Wujue, Zhou Mu’s body visibly trembled.

Gu Changsheng took in all his reactions, helplessly shook her head, and continued in a deep voice, ”In the Secluded Valley battle, I was on the brink of life and death, so you took it upon yourself to betray our love?”

”Changsheng! I...” Zhou Mu heard this, immediately a look of panic on his face, anxiously wanting to speak.

”Shut up!” But before Zhou Mu could finish, Gu Changsheng interrupted him with anger on her face, pointing at Zhou Mu, and continued in a deep voice, ”Zhou Mu, what kind of woman am I in your heart? What makes you think you can so easily sacrifice our feelings just to stay alive? Yes, I am afraid of death, but if I don’t even have freedom of heart, that’s worse than death, no one can control my heart or my feelings! The love between you and me cannot be a reason for you to control me, and Shi Wujue’s life-saving grace cannot control me either! As long as I, Gu Changsheng, am alive, no one will control me! Neither you nor Shi Wujue!”

”Changsheng, listen to me, at that time, I had no other choice, only he could save you, do you want me to watch you wither away?” Zhou Mu heard this, immediately drew closer to the bedside, and spoke anxiously, ”Unable to bear your pain, unable to save you, it’s my incompetence, but I have no choice... I just want you to live well... In these days, this matter has been weighing on my mind like a fishbone stuck in my throat, making me ashamed to see you, guilty to see you, but I can’t help worrying, can’t help but come...”

As Zhou Mu spoke, he lowered his head slightly, hiding the look of loss on his face.

Now, he was extremely certain that the woman before him had already learned the entire truth, and it was not that she knew long ago, but that she knew now!

If it were based on her disposition, if she had known long ago, how could she have repeatedly mentioned Shi Wujue in front of him without a hint of care? It was he who was caught in the situation, confused by care, misunderstanding everything!

It was all a misunderstanding from start to finish!

Gu Changsheng looked at the man sitting with his head down by the bedside, at this clearly outlined face, like it was carved in her admiration, and her lips curved with an increasingly bitter smile.

”Zhou Mu, I am not an unreasonable woman. In fact, my naturally aloof nature makes me like to see everything from outside, so I can find the most reasonable explanation...” Slowly raising her hand, covering the familiar face in front of her, slowly caressing along his features...

Feeling the warmth on his face, Zhou Mu immediately looked up, and a hint of something indescribable flashed through his eyes like deep pools.

”Zhou Mu, that day I was on the brink of life and death, you made such a promise to give me to Shi Wujue for the last sliver of hope, and I can understand! Because if we had swapped places, I would have done the same without hesitation! I would do it, as long as you live!”

As they looked into each other’s eyes, Gu Changsheng’s face was filled with bitterness as she continued speaking.

”Changsheng...” Zhou Mu heard this, and a look of guilt immediately flashed across his face, ”It was my fault, I shouldn’t have...”

”It’s not about right or wrong, Zhou Mu!” Before Zhou Mu could finish, Gu Changsheng gently shook her head, interrupting, ”I can understand the pain and struggle you felt when making that decision; I can also understand why you were hesitant to tell me several times after I woke up...”

”Shi Wei was right, I was not noble enough...” Zhou Mu heard this, his long lashes slightly lowered, but he still admitted in a deep voice, ”I shouldn’t have hidden it from you...”

Hearing Zhou Mu mention Shi Wei, Gu Changsheng’s hand on Zhou Mu’s face immediately stiffened, and her expression also subtly changed...
