The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1156

Chapter 1156: 563 Perfect (two updates)

The night was deep, and Xiao Jingkong returned to Bishui Alley by Liao Quan’s carriage.

The dark guards tasked with protecting him also leapt into the home from the top of the carriage.

"Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao!"

The first thing Xiao Jingkong did upon entering the home was to call for Jiaojiao, without caring whether Gu Jiao was there or not.

Fortunately, Gu Jiao was indeed at home today.

She had come to treat Old Master Zhao next door, and in the evening, Old Master Zhao’s eldest grandson suddenly ran to the Medical Hall, saying that his grandfather had fallen and couldn’t get up, so Gu Jiao hurried back after putting down her work.

Old Master Zhao’s fall was an accident; his right wrist and right ankle were sprained, and the pain was unbearable, preventing him from getting up. When Gu Jiao checked his injuries, she also took the opportunity to check for other issues, and that was when she discovered that Old Master Zhao actually had high blood pressure.

It wasn’t serious, so Old Master Zhao hadn’t felt much discomfort in his daily life.

However, if he were to experience unbearable discomfort, the situation would be very serious.

After treating Old Master Zhao’s injuries and prescribing some medications to lower his blood pressure, Gu Jiao had just returned to the eastern room when she heard Xiao Jingkong’s voice.

Gu Jiao put down the first aid kit and walked out.

"Jiaojiao!"

Xiao Jingkong threw himself into Gu Jiao’s arms.

The five-year-old little bun was no longer just able to cling to Gu Jiao’s thighs like when he first arrived; now he could barely reach her waist on tiptoes.

Gu Jiao would usually bend down to let Xiao Jingkong fling himself into her arms.

When she made this motion, she wasn’t as tenderly maternal as Yao Family, in fact, she was somewhat stiff and overly calm, but the moment she wrapped her arms around Xiao Jingkong, the sense of security as if all calamities were held at bay behind her was incomparable to any other embrace.

Xiao Jingkong breathed in Gu Jiao’s scent with a sense of security, closed his eyes, and settled his little heart: "Jiaojiao."

Gu Jiao ruffled his little head: "Did you go to the Imperial Palace?"

Gu Jiao had heard about it from Yao Family.

"Mhm!" Xiao Jingkong nodded repeatedly, "I went to see Great Aunt and little brother!"

Gu Jiao held his little hand and walked towards the Backyard: "Are Great Aunt and little brother all right?"

Xiao Jingkong cheerfully said: "Yes, they’re all quite well! No wait, little brother is not so good."

"What’s wrong?" Gu Jiao asked.
