Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 602 - 451 Yue Xilou: Born but Not Raised

Yue Xilou, upon hearing this, was momentarily stunned and quickly turned his head to look at Gu Changsheng!

"Now that the rabbit has arrived, how can you be so unconcerned?" Gu Changsheng said calmly, gazing at Flower Peacock, seemingly oblivious to the chill emanating from him, and spoke with a light tone.

"What did you say?" Yue Xilou’s face darkened, a hint of fierceness emerging as he spoke.

Gu Changsheng spread his hands indifferently, continuing, "I said, I just caught two old rats digging through the wall, and it seems they are the rabbits you’ve been waiting for!"

As Gu Changsheng spoke, he stood up and walked over to the wall connected to the next room, lifted the hanging Moon cage yarn, pointed at the hole, and with a smile said, "Here, this is it. This is what those two old men dug!"

"Old men? What old men?" Borjigin Nian, upon hearing this, looked at Gu Changsheng in confusion.

"Where are they?" In the next moment, Yue Xilou struggled to get out of bed.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng’s expression changed, and he quickly moved to the bedside, pressing Yue Xilou back down with a serious face, "Flower Peacock, restrain yourself! How deep must the grudge be that you would risk your life seeking revenge?"

"Let me up, girl! I need to go and kill them!" Yue Xilou struggled ceaselessly, his face contorted with hate, not hiding his vehemence.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng frowned, "Your internal breath is somewhat stable now, but your external injuries have not yet healed. Are you disregarding your life?"

Borjigin Nian also hurried over and blocked Yue Xilou with a serious face, "What? Those two old men are your enemies? Gu Changsheng, where are they? Tell me, I’ll go help Yue Xilou kill them!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Xilou’s struggling paused.

Gu Changsheng was also taken aback, then slapped Borjigin Nian, speaking indignantly, "What business is it of yours? Stop causing trouble!"

Murder? Had Borjigin Nian become addicted to killing?

"Why not? Aren’t they Yue Xilou’s enemies? Didn’t Yue Xilou just say he wanted to kill them? Yue Xilou is ill now; I’ll go help him!" Borjigin Nian, puzzled, spoke eagerly, ready to spring into action.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Borjigin Nian really cared deeply for his own Flower Peacock! It was one thing to tirelessly take care of him despite his own illness, but to also vie for the chance to seek revenge!

This was seizing every opportunity to win the favor of a handsome man!

However, obviously, the handsome man was not very grateful. Didn’t you see how Flower Peacock’s face stiffened when Borjigin Nian spoke of killing those two old treasures?

"If you really want to go kill, I won’t stop you," Gu Changsheng said, pressing down on Yue Xilou and glancing at Borjigin Nian, he slowly spoke, "Those two are none other than two of the Four Great Secret Guards under your master’s command. If you want to kill, go ahead!"

"Uh..." Borjigin Nian, upon hearing this, instantly changed his expression, "How... how could Yue Xilou’s enemies be the Secret Guard Lords under my master?"

"I’m curious about that too!" Gu Changsheng raised his eyebrows, looking at Yue Xilou whom he was pressing down on the bed, his voice grave, "Flower Peacock, I used to wonder if they were involved in the murder of your parents or desecrated your ancestral grave—do you remember?"

Yue Xilou’s face darkened, staying silent.

"But, I heard from Si Xi that they had decided to transfer their power to me, leaving me the path of life, and had entrusted those two to the evildoer! They said, not to see in life, nor to meet at Yellow Springs, right?" Gu Changsheng looked at him, slowly speaking, "You seem to deeply hate them, always ready to seek vengeance, but if you truly had such animosity, wouldn’t you curse them to descend to Hell with you upon death? Why then say ’no meeting at Yellow Springs,’ wishing them to live well?"

"Flower Peacock, this seems a bit contradictory!"

While saying this, Gu Changsheng let go of his hand, and Yue Xilou also stopped struggling.

Borjigin Nian, upon hearing this, shifted his gaze between Gu Changsheng and Yue Xilou, puzzled.

And Little Bun also blinked his big eyes, his small face full of confusion.

"Flower Peacock, what exactly is your relationship with those two? And what exactly is your relationship with the evildoer?" Gu Changsheng, supporting his chin, looked at Yue Xilou, his face thoughtful as he asked.

He had once amusingly believed there was a romantic connection between the two stunningly handsome men, Evildoer and Flower Peacock!

But, clearly, that was not the case!

Evildoer and Flower Peacock, despite their fights upon almost every meeting, and even though Evildoer’s kung fu was far superior, he had never truly harmed Flower Peacock!

To make a person as cold and proud as evildoer repeatedly restrain himself and show mercy, there must certainly be a deep mystery!

Gu Changsheng suddenly felt like he was possessed by Conan today, extremely clever!

Recalling the frail-looking Thirteenth Lady Du’s way of addressing Evildoer, she was the only person Gu Changsheng knew who called Evildoer ’young man’!

And the way she looked at him always gave him a strange feeling, like what?

Right!

It was like supervising a younger generation picking a bride!

At this thought, Gu Changsheng’s face suddenly changed. He looked at Yue Xilou and continued in a deep voice, "What exactly is the relationship between the evildoer and those two elders?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Changsheng’s heart shuddered.

He vaguely remembered that the evildoer had once told him that in this world, the people he considered his closest kin were just a few!

Zhou Zongbao was one of them, and another was his maternal aunt!

At this thought, Gu Changsheng immediately stepped back as if struck by lightning, looking incredulously at Yue Xilou, "You... you..."

Yue Xilou was more beautiful than the evildoer, and always dressed flamboyantly, which always made him overlook his age!

Such a man, with a face like a jade, and skin like porcelain, he... he was actually over thirty years old!

By age, he was indeed a proper seasoned cabbage!

Under Gu Changsheng’s uncertain gaze, Yue Xilou slowly raised his head, meeting her shocked eyes, and spoke gravely, "Indeed! As you thought!"

Yue Xilou had spent more time with Gu Changsheng day and night than Zhou Mu had ever done!

Gu Changsheng was very perceptive, and he knew that she would eventually notice something!

"So... so... you are..." Gu Changsheng shook her head in disbelief, unwilling to believe her own guess.

"Indeed! I am!" Yue Xilou said gravely, shattering Gu Changsheng’s last bit of illusion.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately stepped back, collapsing onto a nearby soft couch, her face still showing shock as if thunderstruck!

"What exactly are you all talking about? I don’t understand at all?" Borjigin Nian looked at them puzzled, stuttering as he spoke.

"I also don’t understand!" The little meat bun chimed in from the side.

Under the bewildered looks of Borjigin Nian and the little meat bun, Yue Xilou slowly lifted his head and spoke calmly, "Let me tell you why!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened instantly.

"Before Emperor Zhoulin ascended the throne, he had a beloved concubine named Du Mo, who was born into the Itinerant World and was the mother of the Former Crown Prince and Zhou Mu’s grandmother!" Yue Xilou looked at Gu Changsheng and continued slowly, "But Du Mo did not live to see Emperor Zhoulin ascend the throne and perished in the struggles within the harem!"

"I was fostered in the Bright Moon Tower when I was young because at that time, my parents were evading their enemies. When I was in my teens, I used the power of the Bright Moon Tower to help them eliminate these enemies, but I never saw them again!"

"Avoiding their enemies and not wanting to implicate me is understandable, but after helping them eliminate their enemies, I hoped for a family reunion only to never see them again!"

"At any cost, I searched through the Four Kingdoms for over a decade, all to find them and ask them why!"

"To be born but not nurtured, to be abandoned and ignored, why?"

At this point, Yue Xilou’s initial calm demeanor evaporated, and his face flickered a trace of deep seated resentment!

"Flower Peacock..." Gu Changsheng uttered, not knowing exactly how to console.

With these words, Gu Changsheng was entirely certain that her guess was about to come true...

"Later I found out that Emperor Zhoulin’s deceased beloved concubine named Du Mo was actually my mother’s biological sister, and my parents, who never fulfilled their duties as parents, abandoned me after eliminating their enemies, all to protect her remaining bloodline!" Yue Xilou said, his face contorting into an expression of savage resentment, "I cannot accept this! I cannot accept it! They knew I was searching everywhere for them, how could they continually avoid me for Zhou Mu’s sake?"

"Out of guilt, perhaps..." Gu Changsheng looked at Yue Xilou with concern and slowly spoke.

"Guilt? Ha! Because of their guilt, they avoided me for almost twenty years! They painstakingly protected Zhou Mu until he grew up, and what about me? I am their biological son!" Yue Xilou roared resentfully, his voice tinged with a sob.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng quickly signaled to the little meat bun.

A mother-child bond is intuitive; the little meat bun immediately understood his mother’s intent, and nimbly climbed onto the bed, curling up in his own Peacock, Lion, and Tiger’s arms, and began to speak, "Peacock, Lion, and Tiger, you have me, I will always be with you..."

Everyone longs for familial affection, especially from their parents!

Gu Changsheng, having lacked parents in both lives, truly empathized with the longing for parental love!

It was somewhat better for her, as her parents died early, but for Flower Peacock, knowing his parents were alive but unattainable...

She could understand Flower Peacock’s resentment and feel his grievance too!

No wonder the evildoer always showed such patience towards Flower Peacock; perhaps, he also felt guilty towards him?
