The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1066

Chapter 1066: 516 Awakening (two updates)_2

This was a fortress large enough to accommodate an army of ten thousand, and though Princess Ning An was allowed the freedom to go anywhere, she never ventured out.

The Silver Fox man nodded thoughtfully as he said, "Understood. Guard the courtyard vigilantly and report to me immediately at the slightest disturbance."

"Yes!"

The crowd responded in unison.

The Silver Fox man entered the courtyard.

Elsewhere, Fei Shi settled Gu Jiao in a small wooden cottage.

Gu Jiao’s little basket was also brought over by a soldier.

"Vice Commander Fei, how should we deal with this basket?" the soldier asked.

This basket had been personally dug out of the snowfield by Fei Shi and, along with the Red-Tasseled Spear, delivered into the hands of their superior. The superior took only the spear, clearly uninterested in the contents of the basket.

Fei Shi glanced at it and saw nothing but some hard, dry rations and a tattered little box.

The box exuded a faint medicinal smell—it was surely a first aid kit.

"Take it all down," Fei Shi said, pausing before adding, "Actually, give me that box."

After all, there might be valuable medicinal materials inside.

"Yes." The soldier handed the little medicine box to Fei Shi and then went down with the basket.

Fei Shi sent someone to fetch the medical officer accompanying them.

While waiting for the medical officer to arrive, Fei Shi tried to open the little medicine box but, despite his efforts, couldn’t pry it open.

Touching the lid, he remarked curiously, "It’s not even locked."

He then drew out a dagger, inserted it into the gap beneath the box lid, attempting to pry it open.

With a sharp clang, his dagger broke but the lid remained intact.

"What kind of damned box is this!" Fei Shi stood up impatiently, kicked the small medicine box, and looked at the broken part of the dagger in his hand, lamenting, "That was the dagger the lord gave me... hardly used..."

While grumbling, the medical officer was brought over by a soldier.

Fei Shi pulled out the broken blade stuck in the box and walked out, cursing, intending to see if the dagger could still be repaired.

After taking a few steps, he turned back and threw the little box that had broken his dagger into the fire basin!

As for Gu Jiao on the bedchamber, Fei Shi had never seen anyone frozen to such a state and revived; yet, as he had orders from his lord, he found a rope and bound Gu Jiao’s hands and feet.

The medical officer entered the room and bowed to Fei Shi.

Fei Shi said coldly, "The lord’s orders are to keep him alive at all costs. Use whatever good medicines you have on him."
