The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248: 145 Domineering! (Second Update)

Not long after, people from the Third Prince’s residence came looking for them.

The Third Prince was in the Imperial Study Room, so the coachman could not meet him personally and had to call over the guards from the residence.

Hearing that the situation was grave, there were over ten guards that came, along with a doctor from the residence.

Upon seeing them, Official Lady Xu’s hopes were ignited instantly. She dashed out of the medial hall, pointing at Second Master Er and his companions, saying, “You arrived just in time, they have taken the Third Princess Consort hostage! The Third Princess Consort has been confined by them! You must go in to save her quickly!”

At the sight of so many guards rushing in, Second Master Er thought to himself that this was under the Emperor’s feet, so there was nothing to fear. They were operating a medical hall to cure illnesses, so even if this matter were taken to the Yamen, they would still be in the right.

However, upon hearing the words “Third Princess Consort”, his legs went weak instantly.

What was this madness?

The patient inside was actually the Third Princess Consort? The Emperor’s current daughter-in-law?

His Little Gu had just cut open the belly of the Prince’s Consort…

Second Master Er once again fainted from being pinched in the philtrum…

As the medical hall was still in the preparation stage, there were quite a number of people in the Grand Hall. Shopkeeper Wang, Xiaoliu, the apprentice of the old doctor and some newly hired workers, everyone had been controlled forcefully by the guards from the Prince’s Residence.

Just as the leading guard was about to charge into the side chambers to save the Third Princess Consort, the door of the chamber opened with a creak.

With difficulty, the Third Princess Consort walked out, leaning on Gu Jiao. Her other hand instinctively covered her wound.

Her face was still white, but she looked vastly different from the half-dead state she was in earlier on the carriage.

Seeing her, the guards immediately apologized and bowed.

The Third Princess Consort glanced coldly over everyone and commanded week yet authoritative: “Have you all lost your minds? Release these people now.”

The guards exchanged uneasy looks with each other.

The effects of the anesthesia were gradually subsiding. The Third Princess Consort started to feel pain from her wound, although, as Gu Jiao had said, the pain was within a bearable range.

She clearly felt that she had just escaped death.

She looked at the room full of guards icily: “What then? My words don’t matter anymore, is that it? Who gave you such guts? I must ask the prince when I’m back, is it his intention to dismiss me?”

“This subordinate dares not!” The leading guard was the first to sheathe his sword. He gave a signal to the others, and everyone released the people in the medical hall, putting their swords back into their sheaths.
