The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259: 149 Background (Second Update)_2

She had just been brought in.

Crying a total wreck.

“What’s your name?” Gu Jiao asked.

“I…I…hic!” She was crying so hard she was hiccuping.

Gu Jiao reached out to look at her arm, but she was afraid it would hurt and started wailing like a slaughtered pig, “Don’t touch me!”

Gu Jiao said, “I won’t touch you. You’ve scraped the back of your hand. I will clean it, it won’t hurt your arm.”

“Re…really?” She looked disbelievingly at Gu Jiao.

“Really.” Gu Jiao gently cradled her hand in the palm of her hand, carefully avoiding the dislocated area, “You have nice hands. What do you usually clean them with?”

No one dislikes a compliment, She sniffled: “Rose water… hiccup! After cleaning… hiccup! Apply Snowflake Cream… hiccup!”

Gu Jiao said, “I have seen others do the same, but they don’t have skin as good as yours.”

She said, “It’s because I’m naturally beau…aah–”

Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Jiao had already set her arm.

The naturally beautiful girl looked at herself in the copper mirror and was so scared that she shivered, nearly fainting.

Ah! Where did this crazy woman come from? So ugly!

This benevolent doctor can actually praise me with this face?

The Medical Hall opened for quite a while without much business, but one horse archery class at the girls’ school provided a month’s worth of business.

After that girl, a few more came with light injuries and excessive fright.

Gu Jiao was incredibly busy.

After another injured patient was sent away, the wooden door of the consultation room was pushed open again.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Jiao was tidying up the medicine on the table, without looking up.

No answer.

Gu Jiao had to puzzledly lift his head, only to see a woman dressed in a lake-blue short coat and a pink-white flowing skirt, standing smiling in the doorway.

Unlike her previous weakness and paleness, her face was much rosier now.

“Do you remember me, Miss Gu?” she asked with a smile.

Gu Jiao nodded: “The Third Consort.”

She didn’t bow, and the Third Consort didn’t seem to mind.

The Third Consort stepped inside, teasing: “I’ve been waiting for you quite a while.”

“Please sit down, Third Consort.” Gu Jiao formally began the process of examining the patient.

The Third Consort pouted, sitting down in the chair and extending her hand further on the table.

“Let me take a look at the wound first.” Gu Jiao said.

“Could we… not do it here?” asked the Third Consort.

“Alright.” Gu Jiao took the Third Consort to her own courtyard.

Only she and her family had access to this courtyard. No one else had ever been there.

The Third Consort’s wound had its stitches removed and it was healing quite well.

Gu Jiao took her pulse again, which was very steady.

“There’s no problem, Your Highness can rest assured.” she said.

“Um…” The Third Consort hesitated for a moment and then asked in a soft voice, “Do you have any medicine that won’t leave a scar?”

The scar ointment and scar patches could be used, but the first aid kit did not have these two medicines for the moment.

Moreover, even if there was medicine she couldn’t use it now because the wound had to be completely healed.

Gu Jiao paused, and then said, “There’s currently no specific medicine for that. You can come back in three days to check.”

“Alright.” The Third Consort agreed.

Seeing that she seemed to be feeling cold, Gu Jiao went to the stove, fetched the kettle, and poured her a cup of hot tea.

“Thanks.” The Third Consort took the tea cup, and sipped it gently. She felt much warmer.

She looked at the furnishings in the room and couldn’t help but ask, “Do you live in the Medical Hall?”

Gu Jiao replied, “No, I live nearby.”

Although the Third Consort had only met Gu Jiao twice, and their positions were greatly disparate, she still couldn’t help but feel that Gu Jiao was approachable.
