Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1375: Chapter 1032: Heaven Deceiving Hall, Hidden Mysteries!

Shi Wujue spoke, casting a deep, mysterious gaze at Gu Changsheng.

That gaze made Gu Changsheng feel an unexplainable sensation in her heart, wanting to say something, yet unable to find the words.

Shi Wujue didn’t give her time to speak; after one look, he turned and walked into the Inner Palace of the Heaven Deceiving Hall, only stopping when he reached the edge of the White Jade Bed.

Gu Changsheng’s body was still very weak, her movements much slower than Shi Wujue’s. She entered a step behind him, seeing Shi Wujue staring dazedly at the White Jade Bed, which made the corner of her mouth twitch uncontrollably.

Honestly, this White Jade Bed—she awoke this time lying on it, and for these past ten to fifteen days, she spent most of her time lying on this bed. It couldn’t be more familiar!

She had marveled at the grandeur of the City Lord’s Mansion, after all, a large bed carved from Warm Jade like this couldn’t just be made by having money; this required an immense and courageous spirit!

Gu Changsheng considered that her Southern Border could be called the wealthiest in the world, able to use white jade at their mountain gate, and the City Lord’s Mansion was no less opulent; such superior Warm Jade is not commonly seen!

Yet, after sleeping on this bed for so long, now with Shi Wujue looking at it this way, Gu Changsheng felt strangely uneasy!

A bit uncomfortable, isn’t it?

After all, according to ordinary family rules, a maiden’s boudoir is not a place just anyone can enter. Not only outsiders, even one’s own brothers, if male, should not intrude upon a woman’s chambers, much less stare intensely at a bed a woman has slept on!

Shi Wujue’s actions could be summed up in one word: Imprudent!

The corner of her mouth twitching, Shi Wujue’s focused gaze made Gu Changsheng quite embarrassed. Although this was the City Lord’s Mansion, Shi Wujue’s domain, still, his actions were rather thoughtless!

Stop looking at the bed I slept on!

She had just secretly climbed off the bed to find something to say to Ling Xi, and the bed was not tidied up—the brocade quilts were still quite a mess, and faintly visible were the traces of her climbing down in disarray!

What are you staring at!

Staring like that makes me feel awkward!

”Hehe...” She let out a couple of awkward laughs. Gu Changsheng felt she needed to say something, cleared her throat, and finally found words to interrupt Shi Wujue’s gaze, ”Shi Wujue, this bed does look quite good, the jade is of superior quality, warm in winter and cool in summer. Didn’t you say earlier that you wanted to give me something? Are you perhaps giving me this Jade Bed?”

Hearing this, Shi Wujue immediately returned to his senses, turned his head, and looked at Gu Changsheng with a mocking glance, his eyes holding a profound meaning.

Gu Changsheng became even more embarrassed under his gaze, but she still thickened her face and said, ”Hehe... You know, if you really are giving it to me, I won’t be too polite to refuse. I really like this Jade Bed a lot; it’s just that if I have to transport it back to my Heavenly Palace, I’m afraid it might require some effort...”

Oh, the ancient times, with their simple folk manners and fresh, unpolluted air, but alas, no large trucks!

In Gu Changsheng’s estimation, transporting this White Jade Bed would indeed take quite a bit of effort!

Jade is a delicate thing!

Can’t get scratched or scuffed. Even in modern transport, it must be handled with care, let alone when transportation relies on carts and carriages, walking purely on foot in ancient times?

This is a problem!

It’s going to take a little commotion!

Right now, Gu Changsheng isn’t too worried about Zhou Mu; since he’s already made his decision, it’s unchangeable, so she can only support him in spirit. If he really encounters any misfortune, oh well, she’ll just accompany him!

So, Gu Changsheng decided to heed Shi Wujue’s words, stay in the Heaven Deceiving Hall, and wait for Zhou Mu to come on his own, then persuade him!

Additionally, Gu Changsheng held her chin in one hand, scrutinizing the White Jade Bed up and down in a proper manner, secretly calculating the possibility of keeping it for herself!

Beside her, Shi Wujue was genuinely rendered speechless by Gu Changsheng’s words and the expression on her face. The corners of his thin lips twitched slightly, shaking his head helplessly. When he returned to his senses, a wicked grin crossed his face. Looking at Gu Changsheng, he joked, ”Beauty, you truly do not recognize gold-inlaid jade with your eyes open! How are you so sure this jade is truly gold-inlaid jade? What if it’s just gold wrapped in jade?”

”Huh?” Gu Changsheng was dumbfounded at his words, her large Phoenix Eyes blinking, her face filled with incredulity as she questioned, ”What do you mean by that? This Jade Bed wasn’t originally gold-inlaid jade...”
