The Prime Minister s Darling

Chapter 248: 145 Domineering! (Second Update)

Not long after, people from the Third Prince’s residence came looking for them.

The Third Prince was in the Imperial Study Room, so the coachman could not meet him personally and had to call over the guards from the residence.

Hearing that the situation was grave, there were over ten guards that came, along with a doctor from the residence.

Upon seeing them, Official Lady Xu’s hopes were ignited instantly. She dashed out of the medial hall, pointing at Second Master Er and his companions, saying, “You arrived just in time, they have taken the Third Princess Consort hostage! The Third Princess Consort has been confined by them! You must go in to save her quickly!”

At the sight of so many guards rushing in, Second Master Er thought to himself that this was under the Emperor’s feet, so there was nothing to fear. They were operating a medical hall to cure illnesses, so even if this matter were taken to the Yamen, they would still be in the right.

However, upon hearing the words “Third Princess Consort”, his legs went weak instantly.

What was this madness?

The patient inside was actually the Third Princess Consort? The Emperor’s current daughter-in-law?

His Little Gu had just cut open the belly of the Prince’s Consort…

Second Master Er once again fainted from being pinched in the philtrum…

As the medical hall was still in the preparation stage, there were quite a number of people in the Grand Hall. Shopkeeper Wang, Xiaoliu, the apprentice of the old doctor and some newly hired workers, everyone had been controlled forcefully by the guards from the Prince’s Residence.

Just as the leading guard was about to charge into the side chambers to save the Third Princess Consort, the door of the chamber opened with a creak.

With difficulty, the Third Princess Consort walked out, leaning on Gu Jiao. Her other hand instinctively covered her wound.

Her face was still white, but she looked vastly different from the half-dead state she was in earlier on the carriage.

Seeing her, the guards immediately apologized and bowed.

The Third Princess Consort glanced coldly over everyone and commanded week yet authoritative: “Have you all lost your minds? Release these people now.”

The guards exchanged uneasy looks with each other.

The effects of the anesthesia were gradually subsiding. The Third Princess Consort started to feel pain from her wound, although, as Gu Jiao had said, the pain was within a bearable range.

She clearly felt that she had just escaped death.

She looked at the room full of guards icily: “What then? My words don’t matter anymore, is that it? Who gave you such guts? I must ask the prince when I’m back, is it his intention to dismiss me?”

“This subordinate dares not!” The leading guard was the first to sheathe his sword. He gave a signal to the others, and everyone released the people in the medical hall, putting their swords back into their sheaths.

Official Lady Xu walked over anxiously:”Third Princess Consort, are you okay?”

The Third Princess Consort leaned against Gu Jiao, feeling weak: “I don’t have the strength to scold you now, I will deal with you after we get back to the residence.”

If the surgery hadn’t already finished, then this girl’s intrusion would have killed her.

Of course, Gu Jiao had taken this into consideration, so she had hurriedly finished the surgery.

The Third Princess Consort was not aware of Gu Jiao’s careful consideration, but she was grateful enough for her actions that evening. She had not just saved her life, but also her dignity.

“Miss Gu, I bid you goodbye,” she said weakly.

Gu Jiao nodded: “Come back to remove the stitches in seven days.”

The Third Princess Consort nodded with difficulty, “Ok, I will remember that.”

She was about to fall down any moment. Official ladies Xu and Liu hurriedly took her from Gu Jiao’s arms, and helped her onto the carriage for the journey back to the residence.

Seven days later, the Third Princess Consort did not come to take out the stitches.

Gu Jiao was not worried. As a Prince’s Consort, there must be skillful doctors in the residence, and the Imperial Physician was in the palace too. Something small like taking out stitches would not pose a problem for them.

One breezy morning, the medical hall opened for business.

Everyone got up early to visit the medical hall for its opening, even the old lady who usually woke up at noon had arisen.

But because the Guozijian and the Qinghe Academy did not have a day off that day, Gu Jiao refused to let the four men take leave. She had received their well wishes.

The four of them: why is skipping class so hard?

The four struggling students, hugging their book bags, reluctantly headed towards the Guozijian and the Academy.

The old lady, having nothing to do, took the carriage sent by Second Master Er and went to the medical hall.

The plaque of the “Miracle Hall” was already hung up, waiting for Gu Jiao to unveil the red cloth.

Gu Jiao didn’t put on airs, she lifted her hand and unveiled the red cloth. The elegant plaque had three gleaming gold characters written on it – “Miracle Hall!”

Second Master Er was very happy. Although Huichun Hall was no more, from now on, there would be the Miracle Hall, and he was still, rightfully, Second Master Er!

Gu Jiao was also quite happy. Compare to The Capital City having a high cost of living, relying on stored food was not good. Now that she had a medical hall, she could start making money. With money, she could allow the four men in the family to study more and go to better schools.

The four people suffering in class all sneezed at the same time…
