Chapter 465: Chapter 324: Sent a Pawn Over

Who said she was kind? She could only say he was blind!

Gu Changsheng was never born with such high-end, classy qualities!

Upon hearing this, Si Xi’s lips twitched immediately! He instinctively felt that the "Shuixianer" mentioned by his Lady was no good word, just like Huo Shuixian’s "Shuixian"!

It must be said, unknowingly, Xiao Si Xi hit the nail on the head!

"Quickly, pick her up and throw her back to Prince Mu’s Mansion, such filthy things can’t stay over at my residence!" Gu Changsheng said with a wave of his hand, looking particularly disgusted.

Hearing this, Si Xi hurriedly picked up the sack containing Huo Shuixian and stammered, "My Lady, are we sending her openly or secretly?"

At this, Gu Changsheng was instantly shocked, staring at Si Xi as if looking at a monster, and spoke earnestly, "Look here, Xiao Si Xi, we’ve already humiliated Huo Shuixian enough by clobbering her in a sack, and you still want to send her back openly?"

"Hitting someone is wrong! Hitting someone with a sack is even more wrong! We should do this thing stealthily, no firing shots! Even if someone asks later, we absolutely must not admit to having done such a degrading thing, alright?"

Upon hearing this, Si Xi’s face twitched, "My Lady, this isn’t just deceiving ourselves, it’s clearly deceiving ourselves very badly!"

Huo Shuixian fell into their hands, and then turned up injured; who would believe it had nothing to do with us?

Let whoever believes it believe it, Si Xi certainly won’t!

Because, he was the one who had hit the person!

Gu Changshun, upon hearing this, glared at Si Xi, shrugged his shoulders, and spoke with a roguish air, "Any evidence? Didn’t I just knock her unconscious? This matter, God knows, earth knows, you know, I know, once we’re outside this door, we’ll never admit to it, what can anyone really do to us?"

"Everything depends on evidence; without proof, it’s just slander! Let her, Huo Shuixian, have eight mouths but still she won’t be able to explain why she was in our residence in the middle of the night. So this dumb loss, she has to swallow it whether she likes it or not!"

Upon hearing this, Si Xi was lost for words!

Gu Changsheng, looking at the sack Si Xi was holding, narrowed his eyes and said solemnly, "Speaking of which, I’ve already been quite merciful, kindly helping her remove the bugs from her body and even limbered up her joints a bit. She’ll definitely be grateful when she wakes up and realizes the truth!"

Si Xi’s eye twitched at these words, "My Lady, you really must be joking. Huo Shuixian will probably want to kill you once she wakes up, let alone be tearfully grateful!"

"She’s wanted to kill me for a long time! I’m afraid she had this idea in mind from the moment she left the capital!" Gu Changsheng said nonchalantly.

"Huh?" Si Xi’s mouth gaped open, kicking the sack containing Huo Shuixian lightly, "Huo Shuixian, being in the capital city, how could she possibly know about you, my Lady?"

"Ah!" Gu Changsheng sighed deeply upon hearing this, explaining innocently, "Do you think a legitimate daughter from the Grand Tutor’s Mansion, a rightfully noble lady of the capital, why would she appear in Liuzhou City?"

Si Xi, hearing this, shook his head puzzledly.

"Being friendly with the evildoer, Emperor Zhoulin obstructed me several times, making me go to the capital by order, which I refused. I thought he had dropped the idea, but he turned out to be a man who won’t rest until he achieves his goals!" Gu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as she continued, "The Imperial Edict Eunuch injured my Uncle Song, I was so furious, I boldly threatened Emperor Zhoulin to send his troops!"

Upon hearing this, Si Xi swallowed hard.

Alright, Si Xi had heard a bit about this fierce deed done by Lady Changsheng!

Gu Changsheng glanced at the sack containing Huo Shuixian and spoke triumphantly, "I was originally trembling in fear of the Emperor’s wrath, who would have thought, LOL, when I dared him to send the troops over, he actually sent such a fellow!"

The key is that it was such an attractive fellow!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but curl her lips, had Zhou Mu, that evildoer, not been genuinely sincere to her, perhaps Huo Shuixian would indeed have confused her!

In that case, Emperor Zhoulin would’ve had his way without mustering a single soldier!

This is really a clever strategy! Worthy of an emperor; such masterful use of Emperor’s Mind Technique!

One can’t help but be impressed!

"Cough cough!" Si Xi coughed twice, hiding the unnatural color on his face, "My Lady, I am going to return Huo Shuixian to Prince Mu’s Mansion first! You’re busy, you carry on!"

After saying this, Si Xi lifted the sack over his shoulder and fled in panic!

Godfather! His lady was too fierce, really, there was nothing she was afraid to say!

Si Xi would bet his life on it, in the eyes of his lady, the Emperor and ordinary people were no different!

Power and such, in the eyes of his lady, were just for show! Good-looking but useless, his lady really didn’t take it to heart at all!

She would casually utter such rebellious words so smoothly! It made him extremely embarrassed!

Gu Changsheng watched as Si Xi disappeared into the night, barely lifting her eyebrows.

Well! In the divinely-ordained world of the ancient times, she couldn’t expect anyone else to be like her!

She had unknowingly become that remarkable presence who dared to challenge the dignity of the emperor!

Tsk tsk... while that wasn’t her intention, it seemed to have become a set scenario! What a bitterly sad truth!

"Strike the lute! This Emperor really is bored out of his mind, ignoring state affairs to play mind games with a mere Medicine Lady like me; what is he implying?" Gu Changsheng angrily slapped the window sill, her face full of depression.

Though, contending with heaven and man is supposed to be endlessly fun, damn it, she was literally contending with "heaven"!

Isn’t Emperor Zhoulin indeed the Son of Heaven?

To court disaster is to spell certain doom; isn’t Gu Changsheng blatantly twisting the arm with her thigh, openly courting death?

"Evildoer, why must you be Great Zhou’s Undefeated War God, Prince Mu? Why just the apple of Emperor Zhoulin’s eye? If you were a nobody, I’d have snatched you up and captive-bred you without all this fuss, right?" Gu Changsheng muttered to herself, shaking her head as she walked towards her Cool Breeze Tower.

Damn it, the main culprit, the main culprit!

Zhou Mu, this bewitching beauty, truly a disaster brought by a handsome man! Look at the trouble he’s caused me, basketfuls of it!

Yet Gu Changsheng, fully aware that this is a colossal trap, couldn’t escape the net of love cast by Zhou Mu!

This really is! So pathetic!

"************, bending over backwards for a pretty boy..." Gu Changsheng sighed at the moon while seriously rubbing her sore back.

Damnit! Had a fight with Huo Shuixian, pulled back at the critical moment, almost sprained my back, right?

Even if it wasn’t sprained, my back muscles are probably twisted now!

I need to get some medicinal plasters to stimulate blood circulation and remove blood stasis to avoid waking up tomorrow unable to straighten my back!

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

Not far behind Gu Changsheng, hidden in the shadows, Kun Nu and Ning Er both stumbled and fell to the ground in a very ungentlemanly face-plant!

"Tch! Such bumpkins!" Gu Changsheng turned her head, saw their sorry state, and glared at them.

Had she said anything wrong? Look at their ghost-seen faces! That’s bloody hurtful!

My tender, glass heart! Suddenly shattered into pieces, absolutely beyond repair!

When Gu Changsheng returned to her bedroom, the drugged Zhou Mu was still soundly asleep, smelling sweet. Gu Changsheng looked at his sharply defined side-profile and his innocent appearance, shook her head, and sighed.

Coming across such a man, could any woman resist? Even if like a moth to a flame, wouldn’t they follow him without looking back?

Thinking this, Gu Changsheng managed a bitter smile, then turned and fetched a medicinal plaster from the medicine box and headed to another bedroom. She certainly didn’t want to share a bed with Borjigin Nian, the Retired Emperor; that was a disaster she really couldn’t afford!

Luckily her sleeping quarters had plenty of well-furnished rooms!

Having understood and exposed Huo Shuixian’s trump card, easing one of her worries, Gu Changsheng slept exceptionally sweet that night.

In her hazy dreams, she felt as though she had fallen into an embrace filled with a faint scent of ambergris...

Familiar and comforting...

Gu Changsheng snuggled into the embrace, found a comfortable position, and continued to sleep!

Under the night sky, Zhou Mu’s divine-like face wore a doting smile, watching the cat-like little woman in his arms. He gently kissed her forehead and stretched his long arms, drawing her closer...

At dawn.

"Ah!"

Gu Changsheng stretched lazily but yelped mid-stretch and tumbled from the bed.

"My love!"

Zhou Mu swiftly called out, his figure flashed, and with a long reach, he scooped up Gu Changsheng.

"Phew! That scared me to death!" Gu Changsheng, looking totally flustered, patted her chest and then glared at the culprit with a displeased look, "Don’t you know scaring people can scare them to death! When will you change this habit of climbing into beds? You’re almost giving me a heart attack!"

"Hehe..." Zhou Mu let out a deep, enchanting laugh at her words, "I thought you knew I was here!"

Gu Changsheng huffed, poking his chest with her elbow, and muttered, "I knew? I knew your big ghost head, didn’t I?"

The medicinal bath she had prepared for him was supposed to keep Zhou Mu asleep until noon!

Yet this evildoer, defying all odds, had woken up and climbed into bed in the middle of the night!

Dammit! Really inhuman!

"Hey, do you feel a bit better? Has the residual poison in your body eased somewhat?" Gu Changsheng asked as she began a thorough check-up.

Zhou Mu’s bewitchingly beautiful face suddenly blushed, managed to grab the little hands misbehaving on his body, and spoke gravely, "My love, it’s broad daylight, this is not appropriate, is it?"

"Huh?" Gu Changsheng blinked, baffled.

What’s inappropriate? She was checking for residual poison!

"Ahem!" Zhou Mu glanced at their disheveled clothes, and with eyes slightly narrowed, "Although I am a gentleman, I am also a normal man!"
