Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 152: Chapter 84: Early Morning Jailbreak_2

Dong Lei tilted his head, trying hard to recall the last time Prince Mu had stayed overnight at their place…

“Ah! Last time, my lady woke up and rushed into the kitchen, diving headfirst into the water vat and gave me quite a fright.”

“Exactly.” Xiao Cui pointed at the empty water vat and continued, “There was no water in the vat. If my lady had dived into the pot instead, I would have died. That was hot water!”

Dong Lei: “…”

After a while, Dong Lei felt he still had to defend his wife and hesitantly started, “I think my lady wouldn’t really dive headfirst into a pot, right?”

She probably wouldn’t, right?

“See, you’re not even sure yourself; I call this precaution!” Xiao Cui confidently scooped more water.

Now, Dong Lei was genuinely defeated!

It wasn’t until the rooster in Mountain-Foot Village crowed for the sixth time that Gu Changsheng finally woke up idly. Forcing her to get up at the crack of dawn was out of the question, as she was now a patient! The sky’s high, the Emperor’s far, and being sick ranks her as third in command! She had every right to stay in bed without guilt!

She shook her groggy head, her chin resting against something warm.

Gu Changsheng’s already foggy mind became even less clear…

Looking down at the warm unknown object, seeing a slender arm with the sleeve rolled up to the upper arm.

And her chin, just so happened to be resting right in the crook of someone’s arm.

It was just the right curve, perfectly accommodating her chin…

Ignoring the old scars scattered on that arm, Gu Changsheng tilted her head, her gaze slowly moving upward…

And met with a perfectly harmless face…

Just half a foot away from hers…

Long eyelashes hid his cold eyes, handsome eyebrows not as straight as usual, a cute nose, a face with sharp contours, cracked lips, a chin full of stubble, his expression relaxed, presenting a rugged kind of beauty…

Evildoer!

She hadn’t been dreaming yesterday! The evildoer had really come back!

And now he was lying sweetly in her bed!

The heat of his breath on her face reminded her, this was indeed a living being!

Glancing at her own clothes, thankfully, they were intact. No wardrobe malfunctions today, thanks to being hurt and having to sleep face-down—what a lucky misfortune!

Gu Changsheng stealthily wiped away the cold sweat and slowly moved further into the bed…

Zhou Mu’s handsome brows furrowed slightly then relaxed again in no time.

Gu Changsheng, nervous to breathe heavily, saw that he gave no further response and slowly started moving again.

Damn it, she had to escape; if she stood to face the evildoer in bed, that would be just too awkward!

She could hardly pretend nothing was amiss and greet him with “Good morning,” could she?

Have you ever seen anyone greet their bedmate like that?

Run, to avoid the awkwardness, she definitely had to run!

Gu Changsheng snail-paced herself out of Zhou Mu’s arm’s range, laying on the bed and slowly exhaling.

Scared me to death, her little heart thumping, almost jumping out to sunbathe!

Glancing sideways and seeing that Zhou Mu was still sound asleep, Gu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He must be truly exhausted after not sleeping for three days and nights.

So exhausted, perfect for her escape…

Minding the wounds on her back, Gu Changsheng stiffly got up on her knees, then slowly stood up.

She held her breath and cautiously stepped over his lying body, constantly mindful of any movement from him…

Standing beside the bed, Gu Changsheng incredulously glanced back at the figure on the bed.

She actually succeeded in her escape?

This is really bizarre!

Who was in the bed? The War God Zhou Mu, the Evildoer himself! And he didn’t catch her slight movements!

Was it because she was incredibly stealthy, or did Zhou Mu deliberately let her go?

One must say, Gu Changsheng really wondered.

Zhou Mu really thought she needed to “relieve herself,” so he deliberately let her, to spare her the embarrassment…

Regardless of the real reason, Gu Changsheng was still delighted about her successful escape.

With her back stiff, she slowly moved towards the outside of the house.

“Creak…”

As the door opened and closed, Zhou Mu finally turned around, looked at the closed door, and smirked lightly.

She turned out to be quite bashful; the bedroom was equipped with items for nightly needs…

Shaking his head, Zhou Mu then closed his eyes to continue sleeping, for he was indeed very tired…

Gu Changsheng stood in the yard looking back at her own door, exhaling deeply.

Thinking about it, damn her lack of courage, leaving her own room as if she were a thief! And the person was still soundly sleeping inside, totally ridiculous!

Stiffening her spine, she headed towards the kitchen, ignoring the two pillars at the kitchen doorway.

After searching around, she couldn’t find a drop of water to wash her face. Gu Changsheng became frustrated and turned to the two maids, “Where’s the water?”

Xiao Cui and Dong Lei exchanged a look, their unspoken agreement clear in their eyes; sure enough, the first thing the lady did upon rising was look for water!

Seeing both of them shaking their heads in unison, Gu Changsheng asked the heavens in dismay, “Damn, is it that hard to wash my face?”

“My lady, you can stop thinking about diving into water to end it all. Sister Cui was cautious, and all the water in the house was thrown outside, including the full pot of hot water Sister Cui had heated up last night…” Dong Lei, unable to keep secrets, betrayed his comrade without hesitation.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng looked sharply at Xiao Cui.

Suddenly, she remembered what Xiao Cui had prepared the night before…

It turned out that the water basin, brocade handkerchief, and closing the door weren’t the main acts; the real show was waiting for her!

She had even prepared hot water!

Hot water!

Suddenly, she remembered a risqué joke from a previous life about how the ancients would call for water several times at night to gauge a man’s potency…

So after Xiao Cui had closed the door, she had planned this step too.

No wonder she had stood at the door for who knows how long waiting for them to call for hot water!

And that wasn’t all; she had even ensured she had no water to wash her face, just to prevent all possibilities!

Was it really necessary to be so melodramatic!
