Chapter 454: Chapter 313 Evildoer Come Out

“What did you say? Miss Yhan Qinrui from the Ministry of War Minister’s Mansion sent an invitation to Huo Shuixian? When did she arrive in Liuzhou? Why is this only being reported now?” Zhou Mu exuded a cold aura, his face bearing an unpleasant expression as he looked at Yuan Bao before him.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao broke out in a cold sweat, wishing he could bury his head underground, and stammered, “This morning, Guo Daqian from the City Gate came to report, it was Yuan Bao’s oversight, I didn’t pay attention…”

Yuan Bao felt so wronged in his heart!

It was just a Miss from the Ministry of War Minister’s Mansion, should he have cared?

Even now, he still didn’t think it was that important!

But why was his master so anxious? What exactly was the problem?

All of a sudden, Yuan Bao felt his brain wasn’t quite up to the task…

“Bang!”

Hearing this, Zhou Mu lifted his foot and kicked.

Yuan Bao held his kicked behind and ran a good distance before steadying himself, his face a pitiful picture of wanting to cry but having no tears–he was kicked again…

“No wonder my love always says you’re a blockheaded fool. It seems it is indeed the case!” Zhou Mu gave Yuan Bao a cold glance, helplessly shook his head, and headed outside.

Hearing this, Yuan Bao’s eyes immediately welled up with tears. It was bad enough that he was kicked, but now his master was also repulsed by him…

“Master… where are you going?” Seeing his master head out, Yuan Bao quickly followed.

“Stop! Stay and watch the house!” Zhou Mu commanded without looking back and in an instant, vanished over the walls of Lansheng Courtyard…

Yuan Bao watched dully as his master disappeared from his sight, blinking his large eyes, blinked again, and suddenly felt aggrieved.

“Master, if you wanted to see Lady Changsheng, you should’ve just said so. Why did you have to lash out at Yuan Bao!”

Did Miss Yhan from the Ministry of War have anything to do with Lady Changsheng? She didn’t, right?

His master just wanted to find a pretext to go see Lady Changsheng, that’s all!

Thinking like this, Yuan Bao rolled his eyes with deep frustration, his master was truly becoming more outrageous…

…

“Hey, be gentler, Gu Changsheng, are you trying to murder me?” Borjigin Nian complained haughtily while comfortably nibbling on fruit.

Gu Changsheng, who was massaging the bruise on her shoulder, upon hearing this, immediately lessened the force in his hands.

“Hey, Gu Changsheng, what’s with that expression? You look rather aggrieved, who are you trying to show it to?” Seeing his face, Borjigin Nian complained again dissatisfied.

“Do I look aggrieved? This is clearly my normal expression!” Gu Changsheng continued with his task, responding on the spot.

“Normal expression yet you look so grim?” Borjigin Nian rolled her eyes and swayed her head, “Don’t your Han people have an saying that a drop of kindness shall be repaid with a gushing spring? I did save your life, after all, is this how you repay me?”

At that, Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched furiously!

Alright, the saying ‘have gratitude for everything except illness’ didn’t apply to him at all! Because he was confident in his medical skills!

But Borjigin Nian was ill, and that indeed made Gu Changsheng a bit scared!

Ever since the injured Borjigin Nian had woken up, there hadn’t been a moment of peace, ordering her Xiao Si Xi around non-stop, demanding this and that, discontent with this, dissatisfied with that–like a nagging spirit, she went from being a princess to a Retired Emperor! That commanding presence from high above truly made one’s jaw drop!

But the thing is! She did indeed have Gu Changsheng’s life-saving grace, and even Gu Changsheng himself couldn’t deny it, thus, he could not refuse the demands of Borjigin Nian, this Old Respectful Madam…

But the resentment in his heart, better left unsaid!

“Nian, there’s another saying among our Han people: do a good deed without expecting anything in return!” Gu Changsheng replied with a bitter smile.

Oh my god, she can’t keep waving a chicken feather as if it were a commanding badge, ordering people around so effortlessly!

Especially ordering him around!

Gu Changsheng, who had never played the part of a serving girl, was genuinely experiencing firsthand how tough it was for Xiao Cui and the others…

The feeling of being a servant girl, truly stifling!

“Do we have such a saying? I’ve never heard of it,” Borjigin Nian remarked, batting her deep, innocent eyes.

“Alright! You win!” Gu Changsheng groaned, resigned to continue massaging Borjigin Nian’s acupoints to relieve the bruising, mentally berating her from head to toe!

Dammit, his choice in friends, so unfortunate!

Look at the kind of life-saving angel Heavenly Father has arranged for him!

She desperately wished that Borjigin Nian could have the same enlightenment as Little Monk Bu Jie, save someone and just leave, waving his sleeves without taking away a single cloud!

That would be the true embodiment of an open mind, that would be real nobility of spirit…

However, obviously, Borjigin Nian was far from such awareness. Far from merely lacking it, she seemed to be eagerly broadcasting her good deeds to the entire world, looking for a chance to capitalize on her favors!

Just like now, enslaving her!

Who could save her from this fire and water? She truly wasn’t meant to be a maid; she totally couldn’t handle this kind of serving others!

“Lady Changsheng, Doctor Hu and the others have some questions for you. Do you have time to see them?” Si Xi walked in, holding a tray of pastries, and asked his mistress.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately sprung up and gave Si Xi a bear hug!

“Ami Tofu, you are my real lifesaver!”

Just as she was praying for someone to come to her rescue, Si Xi appeared like timely rain!

Could there be anything luckier?

Si Xi, who was bear-hugged, looked at the two of them with a puzzled face, completely clueless about what he had done to become his mistress’ lifesaver.

“Nian, you heard it, Hu Yihai and the others have something to ask me, it’s not that I don’t want to keep you company, but work is important!” Gu Changsheng said as she walked towards the door, and before leaving, she didn’t forget to blow a thankful kiss to Si Xi.

Seeing this, Borjigin Nian had a face full of loss, pouting her lips with boundless sorrow…

Upon seeing this, Si Xi suddenly became enlightened and quickly followed two steps, shouting towards his mistress’ retreating back, “Lady, Si Xi didn’t lie to save you. Doctor Hu and the others really do have something to ask you!”

“I know, I know!” Escaping from Borjigin Nian’s devilish clutches, Gu Changsheng felt a sudden lightness of body and waved her hand without looking back, then cheerfully headed to Medicine Tower to continue instructing Hu Yihai and the others on how to match blood types.

In the spacious hall of Medicine Tower, Gu Changsheng sat squarely in the middle, with a basket of eggs in front of her, pointing to the separated egg white and spoke again with weighty significance, “You must remember, if the blood types are mismatched, don’t wait for the patients to die from excessive bleeding. Incompatible blood types can be fatal in minutes, and there’s typically no chance for rescue!”

All the doctors present nodded gravely upon hearing her words.

Seeing their solemnity, Gu Changsheng wanted to smile encouragingly over their dedication, but the corners of her mouth drooped in no time.

What the hell? Why is he here again?

She sensed the atmosphere hidden in the dim corner of the hall had changed!

And it wasn’t just anybody, it was the evildoer Zhou Mu!

What the hell! Yesterday it was at night, now it’s broad daylight! What kind of ghost shows up like this?

Who on earth let this Snake Spirit Disease loose!

Gu Changsheng roared inside, then turned to see everyone in the room still staring at her. Pretending to be unaware, she continued, “Therefore, blood transfusion as a method to relieve excessive bleeding can be used, but it shouldn’t be used lightly unless absolutely necessary. Because while it can save lives, it could also bring about harm if misused, turning into a deadly weapon!”

“Yes!”

Upon hearing this, all the doctors nodded hurriedly.

If this method proved workable, it would be an unprecedented discovery!

Looking into those eager eyes, Gu Changsheng gave a disarming smile and calmly continued…

The medical knowledge separating them spanned thousands of years!

The medicine she had learned and the medicine they practiced were not the same concept at all!

Only through the strenuous practices of countless predecessors could the field of medicine develop into something mature and complete. She was just fortunate to have received modern medical education and now found herself in the backward ancient times!

The complexity and depth of medical science couldn’t be explained overnight, but she was trying her best. She was doing her part to advance this world’s medical skills, even if just by a small step. It would be a benefit for countless people, saving numerous patients from the torment of disease!

With this belief, Gu Changsheng did not hold back on any questions, thoroughly explaining to them as best as she could…

After discussing medical skills with the doctors of Liuzhou Medical Guild for most of the afternoon in Medicine Tower, Gu Changsheng, massaging her temples and frowning, made her way up to the roof of the tower.

This roof of the Medicine Tower was designed to be a circular drying platform for medicines. Gu Changsheng had a soft couch placed on it…

Reaching the platform, Gu Changsheng plopped onto the soft couch, fell back spread-eagle, and let out a comfortable sigh. Squinting at the setting sun on the horizon, she began poetically, “The sunset is endlessly beautiful, but it signifies that dusk is near…”

Then, feeling that it was too melancholic and not really her style, she quickly added with bright eyes, “So it is said, pluck the flower while you can, for waiting will leave you with only a barren branch! Enjoy life while one may!”

Saying this, Gu Changsheng suddenly turned her head toward the shadowy part of the platform, curled her lip and said, “Evildoer, do you agree with what I said?”

After waiting a while, the shadowy area remained silent, not even an echo in response.

Gu Changsheng immediately glared, adjusted herself to a comfortable position on the couch, and spoke coldly to that area, “Evildoer, I’m generous, and though I might not have a Prime Minister’s belly, I do have the tolerance to match, barely fitting a small boat. For now, I’ll overlook your peeping and even occupying my bed! But why would you take Kun Nu’s job? That’s a bit underhanded of you!”

“How’s it like to be a Secret Guard and act like a ghost behind someone’s back? Are you addicted now or what? Come out this instant!”
