Everyone was startled by the Duke’s terrible state.
Whether it was a severe fall or not, they temporarily failed to grasp; their minds were filled with one thought—wasn’t the Duke unconscious? Was this a sign of improvement?
The fact that the Duke had fallen into a vegetative state was no secret in Capital City. Over the years, the Duke Residence had spared no effort in seeking renowned physicians to awaken the Duke, and it was said that they had recently invited a disciple of the divine physician Luo from Chen to treat him.
Could it be that this disciple was truly a reincarnation of Hua Tuo?
Gu Xiaoshun knew nothing of the Duke Residence’s affairs and took the Duke for an ordinary person. He poked his head out of the carriage window and, with a click of his tongue, said, "Xiaoliu, he took a nasty fall. Should we go check on him?"
Ever since learning that Xiao Hen and Gu Jiao had switched identities, to minimize interactions with their previous identities, Xiaoshun no longer called Gu Jiao his brother-in-law but addressed her by name.
Gu Yan also stuck his head out, and the two heads huddled together were crowded.
Gu Yan looked at the Duke’s gaze towards Gu Jiao and frowned in confusion.
Gu Jiao dismounted from her horse.
The others, unaware of Gu Jiao’s medical expertise, were very surprised to see her approach the Duke.
What was she doing?
Second Young Master Jing finally snapped out of his dazed state, performed an impressive fish leap to stand up, and swiftly climbed back onto the carriage before Gu Jiao could.
"Big brother! How did you fall? Let me help you up!"
Second Young Master Jing showed off the formidable strength of his Qilin Arm to his older brother, then received a deathly glare in return.
He didn’t understand what was going on.
The Duke was helped back into his wheelchair by Second Young Master Jing.

Second Young Master Jing stretched out his hand to block her, asking sternly, "Why are you getting on?"
This brat, who was so quick to use violence against others, clearly looked dangerous. He absolutely could not let him near his big brother!
Gu Jiao replied indifferently, "The Duke has fallen. I’m going to take a look."
Second Young Master Jing said irritably, "You quack! I won’t let you treat my big brother!"
Second Young Master Jing received a second deathly glare from his own big brother.
Second Young Master Jing touched his nose sulkily and whispered to his big brother, "Don’t be scared, big brother. I won’t let him onto the carriage."
