Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 1315 - 976: Benefactor Changsheng, Your Fate Is Entwined with Peach Blossom!
"Otherwise? If it weren’t for the fact that I’m the Commander, do you think that girl, Borjigin Nian, would hand over her Dark Night Army to a stranger just because she has your letter? Even so, that girl wouldn’t be at ease!" Upon hearing this, Yue Xilou rolled his eyes at Gu Changsheng, then gave Zhou Mu, who was standing next to Gu Changsheng, another disdainful glance. With his delicate lips in a pout, he scolded, "You’ve really got some nerve now! Even trying something as outrageous as escaping an arranged marriage!"
When others saw Zhou Mu and Gu Changsheng, they couldn’t help but greet them.
However, Yue Xilou was different!
To be precise, it should be Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu who greet Yue Xilou first, since he is Zhou Mu’s legitimate little uncle, right?
But due to Yue Xilou’s sheer lack of regard for being an elder, Gu Changsheng naturally chose to ignore his seniority!
Upon hearing Yue Xilou’s words, Zhou Mu’s lips twitched, but he had nothing to say in response.
Gu Changsheng was even more embarrassed, not knowing what to say!
"Hmph! It’s a good thing I didn’t send you my wedding gift beforehand! Otherwise, if you two caused such chaos, I’d have to send it again, which would be a losing deal for me! Hmph!" Yue Xilou waved his folding fan and rolled his eyes at the two again before turning around to walk into the inn, grumbling as he went, "It seems like ever since I met you two, I’ve been doing nothing but losing business, and that’s really unbefitting of a merchant!"
Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu’s hearing was excellent.
Naturally, they heard these words clearly, and exchanged puzzled glances.
"Why do I sense a deep resentment in the Flower Peacock’s words?" Gu Changsheng blinked his long eyelashes and asked with a look of uncertainty, "Could it be my imagination?"
"It’s not your imagination, for I too heard the resentment in his words!" Zhou Mu waved toward the Dark Night Army outside the inn and then pulled Gu Changsheng to chase after Yue Xilou.
"Oh dear, could it be that our Borjigin Nian gave him a hard time? That resentment is so strong, it’s almost suffocating me!" Gu Changsheng speculated as he walked into the inn.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu’s deep eyes flickered, and his lips slightly curved up, "It’s entirely possible, but now is not the time to dwell on such things. The Dark Night Army’s arrival in Licheng City can’t go unnoticed by those with intent. We should quickly arrange for Father-in-law and Xiao Gu Ze to head to Linyuan City instead!"
"Yes!" Hearing this, Gu Changsheng put away his curiosity, showing a hint of seriousness on his face.
The Dark Night Army was not something she worried about; their loyalty was beyond doubt.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t entrust them with escorting her father and son!
In the courtyard of the inn, Little Bun saw the familiar figures from the Dark Night Army appearing one by one, and his chubby little face instantly drooped.
"Everything is packed; travel light and swiftly escort Father and Little Bun to Linyuan City!" Standing in the Guest Garden, Gu Changsheng ordered with a stern face to the Dark Night Army who were standing by.
"At your command, my lord!"
"At your command, my lord!"
"..."
Absolute obedience was an iron rule in the Dark Night Army, questioning nothing, simply following orders from their lord, even if they knew the path ahead was filled with untold perils, they would leap forward without hesitation!
As the Dark Night Army began to bustle in an orderly manner, Little Bun became even more anxious, letting go of Gu Taitian’s hand, and hurriedly ran toward his mother, with a face full of hopeful pleading, "Mother, can I not go? I don’t want to be separated from you..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng looked down at her pitiful Little Bun, a trace of reluctance flashing in her Phoenix Eyes.
Her son, following her all this way, had never had a few days of peaceful life.
While other children had an innocent childhood under their parents’ care, her Little Bun had never experienced that, constantly facing various situations, with life on the line and blood everywhere...
"Son, be good, go with Grandpa to find your Aunt Nian, it’s safer there, and Mother and Uncle Wood will catch up with you soon!" Suppressing the guilt in her heart, Gu Changsheng leaned down, holding Little Bun in her arms, softly comforting him.
In his mother’s warm embrace, Little Bun’s little nose couldn’t help but tingle, his big round eyes slightly red, "But Mother, I really don’t want to leave you, I’ll worry about you..."
"Silly boy! Mother’s so strong, what are you worrying about? Besides, Mother has Uncle Wood with her; he won’t let anything happen to Mother. You have to be good and listen to Grandpa. In a few days, Mother will definitely come to Linyuan City to find you!" Patting her son’s little back, Gu Changsheng comforted softly. Seeing the little Bun showing signs of tears, she poked his little forehead with a smile, "Son, we don’t shed tears, alright? Real men don’t cry easily; look at Little Han Mo and Yueyue, they’ve never cried..."
"Hmm..." Originally wanting to cry, Little Bun stopped in his tracks, swallowing the sobs that were about to escape, and couldn’t help but hiccup.
"Alright, be good and listen, and go to Linyuan City with your Grandpa." Gu Changsheng said, amused, as she looked at her son.
"Mother, you will really come to find us?"
"Really." Gu Changsheng nodded.
"Will they come to find us soon?"
"Very soon." Gu Changsheng nodded again.
"Alright then... I’ll reluctantly believe in mother for now..." The little dumpling looked aggrieved, on the brink of tears, but finally nodded.
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng could only shake her head helplessly.
What does it mean to reluctantly believe her as a mother?
Is her credibility really that poor? Even her own son doesn’t trust her?
Heaven pity her, she is quite a trustworthy person!
It’s just that, this time, even with all her efforts to seek Fufeng Tianlan’s traces, Gu Changsheng herself couldn’t be completely sure what would happen...
Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng shook her head, watching as the Dark Night Army had already reloaded her mother’s coffin onto the carriage, everything was settled, waiting for orders. Then she carried her little dumpling towards the carriage.
In front of the carriage, Gu Taitian was standing there, his old face full of weathered years, but the worry couldn’t be hidden.
"Dad, I’m leaving little dumpling in your care. Don’t worry about me, I’m just probing with the evildoer, not risking my life." Placing the little dumpling into her father’s arms, Gu Changsheng’s bright face wore a reassuring smile as she spoke.
Receiving his obedient grandson, Gu Taitian sighed helplessly, looked at Zhou Mu who was approaching, then at his daughter, and said in a deep voice, "You all have your own ideas, just be aware of it. As your father, I won’t say much. We’ll be waiting for you in Linyuan City!"
"Uh-huh!" Gu Changsheng nodded at this.
"Father-in-law, rest assured, I will ensure Changsheng’s safety." Zhou Mu bowed further, speaking as if making a promise.
"Good." Gu Taitian responded, then glanced at the two of them again, turned, and went up the carriage, whose curtain was already drawn open.
The curtain opened and closed in an instant, and Gu Changsheng could faintly hear the suppressed sobs of her little dumpling from inside the carriage.
Her own son was really attached to her as a mother, Gu Changsheng knew this, but she couldn’t take him on adventures with her!
"Xiao Cui, Han Qiu, take good care of them." Taking a deep breath, Gu Changsheng turned and walked to another carriage, looking at the two maids standing in front of it, she spoke solemnly.
"Don’t worry, mistress." Xiao Cui responded immediately and added, "You and the young master also take care."
Han Qiu kept her usual cold face, but nodded seriously, looking at her mistress and the young master with some concern.
Gu Changsheng smiled at them, then turned to pick up Wuchang Yue from the ground, placing her on the edge of the carriage, and gently tapped her on the head, "Be good, no monkeying around with the little dumpling, got it? You’ve been a Little Witch Lord!"
"Got it, cousin!" Wuchang Yue nodded and turned to get into the carriage.
Only then did Gu Changsheng turn her attention to the other two children...
Seeing this, Little Han Mo with the Black Face slid off his feet, and in the next instant, leapt onto the edge of the carriage and dove inside.
He didn’t want his mistress to carry him onto the carriage!
Seeing this, Gu Changsheng shook her head in amusement. Although Little Han Mo wasn’t very old, Gu Changsheng indeed hadn’t intended to carry him onto the carriage. After all, boys and girls should be different, right?
At the front of the carriage, only Little Monk Bu Jie remained.
Gu Changsheng looked amusedly at Little Monk Bu Jie, who was retreating to the side of the carriage, her bright face carrying a hint of a mischievous smile. "Little monk, don’t you have anything to say to me? Aren’t you someone who claims to know heaven and earth, knowing everything and being able to do anything?"
"Uh..." Little Monk Bu Jie was taken aback by Gu Changsheng’s question, clasped his hands, and chanted a monk’s prayer, saying, "Benefactor Changsheng, since you asked, this poor monk should naturally answer..."
Saying that, Little Monk Bu Jie gave Gu Changsheng a deep look, his kindly face carried a rare heavy and hesitant tone, saying, "It’s just, I don’t know if Benefactor Changsheng would like to hear it..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng became interested, exchanged a curious look with her evildoer, and raised an eyebrow at Little Monk Bu Jie, saying, "Then go ahead, speak. Only after you’ve spoken will I know if I want to hear it!"
"Then this poor monk will speak!" Little Monk Bu Jie replied, taking a slight breath, and said in a deep voice, "This poor monk observed the stars at night and found the Star of Life of Benefactor Changsheng to be stirred by hidden red love. Observing Benefactor Changsheng’s face again, your forehead shines brightly, faintly revealing some ******. This is a sign of being afflicted by Peach Blossom. Moreover, this Peach Blossom is precisely targeting Benefactor Changsheng’s Star of Life, showing that this Peach Blossom is someone who ties your heart in this life..."
