The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1112

Chapter 1112: Chapter 537: Xiaobao (one more update)

Gu Jiao originally thought there was only one man in black, who would have expected two more to be hidden in the dark?

Mo Qianxue was already seriously injured, and this strike, which used up all her strength, nearly drained her completely. At the moment the three men in black tumbled down from above, she could no longer hold on, spitting out a mouthful of blood, her eyes went dark, and she fainted!

Gu Jiao bent over to carry Mo Qianxue back into the room; the servants from the Medical Hall would take care of the cleaning here.

Mo Qianxue’s body was covered in snowflakes, and the wound on her leg was slightly torn, allowing fresh blood to seep out, staining her nightgown red.

Gu Jiao first removed her clothes and tucked her into the blanket, then opened the wardrobe to find a set of clean nightwear to change her into.

Mo Qianxue, in a daze, felt someone touching her body, and her face turned pale as she abruptly grasped the other person’s hand.

"It’s me," Gu Jiao said.

Mo Qianxue’s hand relaxed, and she rested her head against Gu Jiao’s chest, sinking into a deep sleep.

In fact, several assassination attempts from the Medical Hall had already occurred, but whether it was especially severe tonight or not, Gu Jiao distinctly sensed a change in Mo Qianxue’s emotions.

In the latter half of the night, Mo Qianxue even started having nightmares.

She was afraid.

Her face pale, her body trembled lightly, as if trapped in endless nightmares.

"Mo Qianxue, Mo Qianxue," Gu Jiao tried to wake her.

Mo Qianxue opened her eyes, looking at Gu Jiao with panic, not responding as if still in a dream, but merely clutching Gu Jiao’s hand tightly, like a drowning person clinging to the last piece of driftwood.

"Scared like this, hm?" Gu Jiao muttered, not pulling her hand away.

...

When she had a moment, Gu Jiao went back to Bishui Alley.

Little Jingkong hadn’t seen Gu Jiao for a few days and was so aggrieved, his eyes brimming with tears, "Jiaojiao!"

He rushed over and hugged Gu Jiao.

Though he was five years old, he appeared a year younger than his peers, and Gu Jiao easily lifted him up.

Little Jingkong sat in Gu Jiao’s arms and shook his little head!

"Jiaojiao, are you done with your work at the Medical Hall?" Little Jingkong asked.

"Not yet," Gu Jiao answered as she entered the room and greeted the Yao Family.

The Yao Family had just finished bathing Gu Xiaobao.

"You’re back; you don’t have to go to the Medical Hall anymore, right?" The Yao Family said warmly.

"I have to go back there tonight," Gu Jiao replied.

Little Jingkong thought for a moment, got down from Gu Jiao’s arms, and dragged a chair over to her, "Jiaojiao is tired, sit down, Jiaojiao."

Gu Xiaobao: "Wah!"

Upon hearing her son’s voice, the Yao Family was cheered, "Did Xiaobao start to talk? Does Xiaobao want his sister to sit down?"

Gu Xiaobao looked up at Gu Jiao with big round eyes.

Gu Jiao walked over and poked Gu Xiaobao’s chubby cheek.

Gu Xiaobao giggled with laughter.

A three-month-old child could laugh out loud now, but Gu Xiaobao was a baby who neither cried nor fussed much nor laughed easily. Other than giggling once on the day he turned three months old, no matter how much he was teased after that, he remained silent.

Gu Jiao found it amusing, and poked his chubby little face again.

Gu Xiaobao laughed out loud once more.

Gu Jiao poked again, Gu Xiaobao laughed again.

Little Jingkong clapped his small hands excitedly and bounced up and down, "Brother is laughing! Brother is laughing!"

At this moment, Marquis Gu came from the newly reconstructed residence. The work on finishing the residence had been delayed by heavy snow in recent days. Now that the weather had improved a bit, he was leading the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works to rush the work day and night.

Today, he came to transport materials, taking a detour to see his wife and son.

He had just reached the doorway when he heard Little Jingkong’s shouting. He concentrated and held his breath, indeed hearing his son’s laughter.

His son could laugh!

Marquis Gu entered the room beaming, "Son! Daddy’s here to see you!"

Without even looking at Gu Jiao, he headed straight to his wife, the Yao Family, and with overflowing paternal love, took Gu Xiaobao into his arms.
