The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1297

Chapter 1297: 631 first watch

Gu Jiao was completely flustered.

She really wanted to crack open Mu Qingchen’s skull to see how his brain was structured!

How could he suspect her of having that condition!

"Mu Qingchen, you—"

"What’s wrong? Is there something off with the medicine?"

Gu Jiao took a deep breath, another deep breath, "...Yes, thank you so much!"

Mu Qingchen looked utterly puzzled. A thank you is a thank you, why did she thank him with such gritted teeth? It wasn’t as if he made her hemorrhoids flare up.

Mu Qingchen knew that it was very embarrassing to have this kind of sickness exposed, so he thoughtfully turned his back to her and asked, "But speaking of which, how did you, at such a young age, get this illness?"

Gu Jiao glowered. Indeed, why would I, at such a young age, get this illness? That’s something I’d like to ask you!

...

Gu Jiao had no plans to stay in the dormitory, so no clothes were prepared for her there, which made it inconvenient for her to go out in her current attire.

Mu Qingchen sympathized with his dorm mate’s plight, and generously had someone fetch his cloak from the carriage to give to Gu Jiao.

The afternoon classes were taught by Master Jiang and Master Gao, but Master Wu took the initiative to ask for leave on behalf of Gu Jiao.

In fact, Gu Jiao was more resilient than Master Wu had thought. After resting for half an hour, she was up and about again, like a refreshed hero. However, with free leave available, it would be silly not to take it.

Gu Jiao did not have lunch in the Dining Hall but went straight back to the Mansion she rented.

Although she had left, the rumors about her were just getting started.

In the Dining Hall.

"Hey, have you heard? A new student came to Mingxin Hall this morning and tamed Master Wu’s Horse King!"

"What Horse King?"

"You know, that wild horse Master Wu won in a martial contest!"

"Is it that black horse that even knocked out one of Master Wu’s front teeth?"

"It must be the one!"

"Hasn’t Master Wu been training it for a while without any results? Who did you say tamed it?"

"A new student! What’s his name... Xiao... Liulang?"

"Never heard of him. Do we have any notable families in Shengdu with the surname Xiao?"

"He isn’t from Shengdu, came from another country."

"Jin Country?"

"Jin Country."
