The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1287

Chapter 1287: 626 Secret History (First Update)

By this time, Gu Jiao and Mu Qingchen had already boarded the carriage leaving the Duke Residence, unaware of the Duke’s activities.

The young man known as official Shao also left with them, taunting Qingchen before he left, but ultimately failing to catch any dirt on Qingchen and riding away on his horse.

"Do you have a grudge against each other?" Gu Jiao asked.

"Family conflict," Mu Qingchen said casually, without going into detail.

Gu Jiao didn’t bother to dig deeper, as she wasn’t genuinely interested in his affairs.

"A thousand taels?" Mu Qingchen looked at Gu Jiao indifferently.

Gu Jiao waved her hand, "If you don’t want to give it, forget it. We were classmates, just consider it a favor I did for you."

"Heh," Mu Qingchen almost laughed in exasperation, "Where did you learn to lie with such a straight face?"

"And who did you learn it from?" Gu Jiao countered.

When it comes to lying with a straight face, you’re not much better.

Mu Qingchen decisively looked away, not delving further into the topic.

Gu Jiao spoke up, "Can I make a trip to the Medical Hall?"

Mu Qingchen glanced at her and said, "It’s over, no need to pretend to be a doctor anymore."

Gu Jiao: Would you believe me if I said I’m a real doctor?

"Speaking of which, you did a pretty good act back there." If it wasn’t for her miraculous method of healing through conversation, Mu Qingchen would have almost believed her to be genuine, "Don’t do that again next time. I can’t cover for you if you get exposed."

Gu Jiao: "Oh. Then, can I go to the Medical Hall? I want to buy some medicine."

Mu Qingchen looked at her, "Are you sick?" _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

"My brother," Gu Jiao replied.

Gu Yan’s request for sick leave was not a secret, though not publicly known, it wouldn’t be difficult for Mu Qingchen to find out if he inquired.

Mu Qingchen, seeming to think of something, said nothing further and directed the coachman to a Medical Hall.

"I’ll wait for you in the carriage," Mu Qingchen said.

"Okay," Gu Jiao did not refuse.

The Medical Hall Mu Qingchen found for Gu Jiao naturally wouldn’t be a poor one. With plenty of patients and doctors, and all kinds of rare medicinal materials available, if she really came to buy herbal medicine, she would likely not leave empty-handed.

Unfortunately, she was there to inquire about the Operating Room.

"Do you have these things here?" Gu Jiao handed over the blueprint of the Operating Room.
