Chapter 1133: 552 Jiaojiao Falls off the Horse? (Third Update)

Indeed, thanks to Gu Chao’s blessing.

Moreover, wasn’t Gu Changqing and the Gu family army’s brave fighting also a result of Gu Chao being captured?

"This subordinate does not dare accept undue credit," the old marquis cupped his hands.

The emperor remarked with emotion, "Gu Chao, Gu Chao, you are fortunate indeed, each of your grandchildren is outstanding in their own right."

Gu Changqing need not be mentioned, as the child has never disappointed from childhood to adulthood.

Gu Chengfeng and Gu Jiao have been unexpected joys.

Why reward her!

The Emperor smiled and said, "The little doctor has made significant contributions on the frontier; of course, I must reward her."

The old marquis was stunned: "She...made contributions?"
