The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247: 144 Surgery (First Revision)_3

A glimmer of terror flashed through the eyes of the third prince’s wife.

“Absolutely not!” Madame Xu stepped onto the horse carriage, blocking the prince’s wife: “You’re but a lowly medical handmaid, trying to slice open my lady’s stomach! I see you’re obviously trying to scare us! Speak! How much silver do you want?”

“I’m not scaring anyone, whether to get treated or not is up to you.” Gu Jiao said, and stood up to leave.

She had barely taken a few steps when her wrist was seized by a cold hand.

The third prince’s wife held on tightly, almost as if she was mustering up all her strength: “Can you really save me?”

“My lady!”

The two court ladies suddenly blanched.

Could the third prince’s wife be serious?

Actually allowing this medical handmaid to slice open her stomach?

She’s gone mad! Mad!

This medical handmaid has gone mad!

The third prince’s wife has gone mad!

Madame Xu warned: “My lady, don’t listen to her! I’ll bring the royal physician immediately!”

Gu Jiao replied indifferently: “Go ahead.”

“Don’t…” The third prince’s wife clung tightly onto Gu Jiao’s wrist.

She had seen this illness before, her nanny had suffered the same pain before she married. The painful area was exactly the same as her own, with identical symptoms. She had summoned the royal physician to treat her, but he could not cure her, and the nanny died in extreme pain!

She too, was going to die!

Madame Xu cried, “My lady! You mustn’t!”

As the princess, she cannot have a knife wound on her body. During the palace selection, even a tiny blemish on the body can lead to disqualification.

Though she is now married, she is the wife of a prince; her body is not her own, but belongs to the third prince.

Without the third prince’s permission, she cannot harm her own body as she pleases.

Though she was in too much pain to speak, Gu Jiao understood everything through her eyes.

Gu Jiao carried the princess from the carriage. The two court ladies could do nothing to stop her.

Madame Xu told the coachman: “Go back to the palace and inform His Highness immediately!”
