Chapter 606: Chapter 455: All Worries Resolved
The little bug Dandan was just one milliter big, and Gu Changsheng really couldn’t bear it because his selfishness had hurt it!
Although Gu Changsheng initially resisted the existence of this bug,
ultimately, he couldn’t bear to see it hurt.
“Dandan’s Mom, if you want him to be restored to his original state, only soone’s blood can accomplish that! Don’t act yet, I need to psych myself up,” Dandan’s voice rang out in Gu Changsheng’s mind, but this ti, there was no sight of its tiny figure in Gu Changsheng’s mind.
“Be careful not to harm your vital parts,” Gu Changsheng, feeling moved by the words, couldn’t help but worryingly caution.
If the little bug really injured itself, Gu Changsheng would be at a loss!
No matter how skilled her dical skills were, she couldn’t treat a bug that lived inside her body, could she?
“I know!” the little insect replied, its troubled and soft voice erged, “Should it be the claw or the bottom? Wuu… it’s going to hurt…”
Blood dripped drop by drop into the basin, but in the end, Gu Changsheng didn’t have the heart to urge it!
Her hand holding the Chonghua Dagger went stiff, but she didn’t dare move a muscle, fearing she might accidentally injure it!
“Wuu… my claw! It hurts so much!”
A small voice drenched in pain erged, and at the next instant, Gu Changsheng quickly retracted the Chonghua Dagger.
Almost simultaneously, a drop of dark gold blood bead slowly oozed from the mark of the fla on her forehead and fell into the basin, turning the water at the bottom dark gold in the blink of an eye!
Gold shone brightly, as if it were sprinkled with gold powder, glinting mysteriously and unpredictably!
The bloodstain on her forehead gradually disappeared, as if it had absorbed into her skin, vanishing in a scene…
Gu Changsheng was startled, raised her hand to touch her forehead, and the wound that had been inflicted by Chonghua had silently disappeared…
“Dandan! Dandan! Are you alright?” Gu Changsheng anxiously called out.
The blood of the bug Dandan indeed had the effect of regenerating flesh and bones!
Just a small drop!
But considering its tiny body, it was extraordinary!
“Dandan! Dandan, say sothing back to !” Gu Changsheng cradled the basin, calling out anxiously again.
After a while, a delicate little voice weakly responded, “I… I’m fine. Just very sleepy… Mix that blood water with your dicine, and he will be all right… Don’t let anyone else know…”
“Alright, alright! Do you want to bite ? Do you want to eat?” At those words, Gu Changsheng quickly replied.
“No need! I… want to sleep…”
As the little voice faded, Gu Changsheng’s mind returned to a peaceful stillness.
She was left with an unpredictable expression, staring at the dark gold blood water in her hands…
She didn’t know what kind of bug Dandan was, it probably resembled a king!
She naturally understood how precious its blood was!
“Thank you, Dandan!” Gu Changsheng spoke slowly, put away the Chonghua, and carried the basin to the dicine stove.
There were too many unknowns in this world, beyond her ability to explain!
Witchcraft and Gu, have always been mysterious and unfathomable, yet she was experiencing them!
Gently touching the mark on her forehead, a touch of emotion flashed in Gu Changsheng’s deep eyes!
No matter what, she was grateful to Dandan, the little bug that hadn’t been expected, for helping her in her most desperate ti, and for bleeding to help her in her most helpless mont!
Gu Changsheng didn’t doubt the effect of its blood; with its help, the evildoer would definitely recover!
Gu Changsheng didn’t leave the dicine Tower all night, and that night, the lights in the dicine Tower were brightly lit!
From the moon rising in the east to its decline in the west, just as dawn was breaking, Gu Changsheng slowly erged from the dicine Tower.
That night, she attempted nurous tis to awaken the bug Dandan without any response.
Gu Changsheng also didn’t know its condition.
She couldn’t let down the bug Dandan’s goodwill; she could only focus even more on crafting dicine.
“My respects to you, sir!”
Outside the dicine Tower, Yhan Ting stood at the door covered in frost.
Upon seeing him, the corners of Gu Changsheng’s mouth lifted into a weary smile, handing over the package in her hands to him, she solemnly said, “Inside here is dicine that can restore him to his original state, Yhan Ting, you must deliver these to the evildoer, and ensure no one else knows!”
Yhan Ting’s eyes flashed with a hint of doubt upon hearing the words, yet he still bowed his head and spoke with a strong voice, “This servant would rather die a thousand tis than fail the trust bestowed by my lord!”
Gu Changsheng watched the sunrise gradually ascending in the east, a smile flickering in his eyes. His vermilion lips parted slightly as he slowly said, “Also tell him that I will wait for him at Wenjun Pavilion, wait for his triumphant return, wait for him to co back… to fulfill our marriage promise!”
Upon hearing this, Yhan Ting, whose face was usually cold, showed a hint of joy. He imdiately bowed saying, “This servant will convey these words, without missing a single one!”
“Cough, cough!” Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, had a flicker of embarrassnt across his face and cleared his throat twice before waving his hand, “Go! Be careful on your journey north!”
“Understood! My lord, take care, this servant shall depart!” Yhan Ting, upon hearing the command, imdiately rose and leapt onto a fine horse nearby.
Gu Changsheng watched his silhouette fading into the morning light and felt a great sense of relief wash over him.
“Mistress, will he really be alright?” Si Xi couldn’t hide his worry as he spoke.
“He will! He will surely return victorious!” Gu Changsheng asserted with conviction.
Upon hearing this, Si Xi nodded vigorously, “Yes! If Mistress says so, then he will certainly be alright! With Mistress waiting for him in Liuzhou City, he must triumph!”
“Hehe!” Upon hearing these words, Gu Changsheng laughed rrily and said, “Issue the order, effective imdiately, Liuzhou Region is under martial law. All travelers and rchants are to be rigorously inspected; not a single suspicious person is to be allowed entry into the region!”
“Yes!” Si Xi imdiately bowed in compliance.
“Furthermore,” Gu Changsheng continued with a smile, “as the battle in Southern Fujian has been won, Liuzhou Region will reduce taxes for three years to celebrate with all under heaven! Once the evildoer secures victory at the Liaodong Border, the Liuzhou Region will be exempt from taxes for ten full years!”
Calming the hearts of the citizens is best done through tangible benefits!
Whether it’s Zhou Mu or herself, they do not rely on tax revenue to live. A small compromise like this to win over the loyalty of the people was sothing she was more than willing to make.
“As you command!” Si Xi responded with a smile, “With these orders, it will truly be a celebration for all under heaven!”
Gu Changsheng looked up at the people in the mansion who had already begun to bustle about, and smiled as she nodded, “Indeed! Let the millions of people in Liuzhou Region join in praying for the evildoer to erge victorious soon!”
“He will for sure! Lord is surely the most anxious to win and co back to claim you as his bride!” Si Xi nodded as if pounding garlic.
“Pay close attention to the movents in the Capital City, especially those of the Vassal Kings. If they dare aim for the supply lines of our armies in Liaodong, execute them!” Gu Changsheng’s voice turned stern again as she spoke.
She wholeheartedly hoped the evildoer would win, but she was well aware how many wished for his defeat more than anything else!
Everyone coveted that Dragon Throne; Gu Changsheng had to be cautious and prudent!
“As you command!” Si Xi responded gravely before hesitating and asking with concern, “Mistress, don’t we have limited personnel left in the Capital City from Prince Mu’s Mansion, since he doesn’t like monopolies? Do you think we should send more people there?”
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng lowered her head and pondered for a mont before slowly shaking it, “It’s too late. Sending more people now won’t help us gain any significant information. We’ll have to trouble Flower Peacock for this.”
“Cool Breeze Bright Moon Tower has branches in all Four Kingdoms; it’s the best place to collect information. He will definitely help with this!”
Si Xi hurriedly nodded in agreent.
Gu Changsheng seed to recall sothing and turned to Si Xi, her voice grave as she said, “During the battle of Hengtang, did the evildoer seal off all the news?”
“Yes!” Si Xi quickly replied, “Lord was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble for you, Mistress, so he sealed off all news. Now, even Huo Shuixian carrying the title of Mandated Noble Lady, the brothers of Crown Prince Chen, and Borjigin Lvchi dare not ntion it to outsiders!”
Gu Changsheng sneered coldly at the edges of her lips upon hearing this, “This act of burying one’s head in the sand, the evildoer is becoming increasingly adept at it!”
Now, except for the ones who had perished in Liuzhou City of Liaodong, both Northern Mongolian and Southern Chen implicitly understood who the Female Star of the Occupation Room was!
But what of it?
The evildoer’s million-strong army had already departed to the Three Borders. They barely had ti to rest and recuperate, what more could they do?
“It’s also ti to let Emperor Zhoulin understand just who I really am!” Gu Changsheng sneered, gesturing behind her, “Kun Nu, take an imdiate trip to the Capital City, inform His Majesty of the circumstances of the battle at Hengtang, and also tell him, to keep his sons and grandsons in line. If they dare plot against us behind the scenes, they can’t bla for being heartless and ruthless, allowing their Imperial Family’s offspring to dwindle!”
“Understood!” Kun Nu, as massive as a mountain, appeared behind Gu Changsheng, his hoarse voice sounding.
Gu Changsheng looked at him, a trace of pain in her eyes, “Kun Nu, regarding Ning Er, I owe you an apology!”
Ning Er and the stalwart Kun Nu had ford a good relationship. Gu Changsheng had hoped to match them, but unexpectedly…
“My lord need not feel guilty. From the mont we pledged loyalty to you, we were prepared to face death. To die for our master is to die with honor, without regret!” Speaking of Ning Er, Kun Nu’s face also revealed a touch of sorrow before he clenched a fist in thanks, “Thank you, my lord, for burying Ning Er in the Gu Family’s ancestral tomb, allowing her spirit a place to return to.”
The ancients believed in spirits and deities. For rootless Hidden Guards like them, having a place for burial was already an imnse honor.
Gu Changsheng shook her head, concealing her self-reproach, and waved her hand saying, “Go, then, and convey my ssage to Emperor Zhoulin!”
“As you command!” Kun Nu replied and departed.
“Mistress, are you trying to intimidate His Majesty?” Si Xi looked at the departing figure of Kun Nu and, after a mont’s hesitation, asked.
Gu Changsheng stood tall on the steps, clad in red fluttering in the wind, her voice assertive as she said, “Yes! That is exactly what I am doing! He is the sovereign of a nation, yet he has been repeatedly defied. Seeing the Letter of Appointnt for Marriage sent by the evildoer to the Zhou Family Ancestral Hall will surely make him rage. Who knows what other issues he might create!”
“In this world, the kind are bullied, and only the strong are feared! Only the powerful can deter others from causing trouble!”
