The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 575

Chapter 575: 279 Jiaojiao takes action (two more updates)_5

Doctor Song’s medical skills are also quite good, learned directly from Miss Gu.

But when he heard the last words, ’the Marshal Residence’, Shopkeeper Wang was unsettled.

"May I ask... what kind of illness?" he asked the Tang Residence housekeeper.

The Tang Residence housekeeper didn’t hide anything and bluntly said, "My young master’s arm was chopped off by someone. Can you treat it?"

Doctor Song certainly couldn’t treat this.

As for whether Miss Gu could, Shopkeeper Wang was also unsure, after all, he had not seen Gu Jiao treat such a case before.

He hesitated for a moment then called over his third apprentice, "You go to Miss Gu’s house."

The third apprentice went to Bishui Alley.

The door was opened by Gu Xiaoshun.

"Xiaoshun, is your sister here?" the third apprentice asked.

Gu Xiaoshun replied, "My sister is next door, do you need her for something?"

The third apprentice nodded, "Yeah, I’ll go next door to find her."

Gu Jiao had just finished giving Gu Yan an IV, upon hearing that the third apprentice had come, she tidied up, tucked the bedding covers around Gu Yan, and drew the curtain, "Come in."

"Oh." The third apprentice walked in, he didn’t look around or ask anything unnecessary, very well-behaved. "Miss Gu, someone from the Medical Hall has asked for you."

"Can’t Doctor Song go?" Gu Jiao said.

The third apprentice sheepishly replied: "The patient is from the Marshal Residence, and he’s had his arm chopped off. Doctor Song doesn’t know how to treat it."

Gu Jiao paused as she was tidying the curtain: "The Marshal Residence? Which Marshal Residence?"

The third apprentice responded, "There’s only one Marshal Residence in the capital city, the previous Tang Residence." He glanced around and whispered, "Miss Gu, have you not heard about the big news today?"

"What news?" Gu Jiao asked.

The third apprentice said, "Well... there was an incident at Tiger Mountain Camp, and it seems the grand marshal’s nephew got into a fight and ended up severely wounded... I had no idea his arm was chopped off, I wonder who dared to..."

Hmm, his arm was chopped off, huh.

Gu Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly, a glint of darkness passed through them: "Fine, I’ll go."

"Great! I’ll wait for you in the carriage!" The third apprentice cheerfully replied before scampering off.

Gu Jiao smirked wickedly, she took out her little notebook and wrote down Tang Ming’s name.

With her little backpack slung over her shoulder, Gu Jiao climbed into the third apprentice’s carriage and headed to the Medical Hall.

Seeing that the incoming doctor was actually a woman, the face of the Tang Residence’s housekeeper coiled with contempt: "Why is it a female doctor?"

The third apprentice objected: "She’s not just any female doctor! She’s the best physician at our Medical Hall! And she’s the boss! She’s a female physician!"

She’s treated the emperor, get it?

Hum!

The Tang Residence housekeeper still appeared contemptuous.

Gu Jiao nonchalantly said, "If even I can’t treat your young master’s injury, then there probably isn’t a doctor in the world who can."

The third apprentice straightened his spine: "Exactly!"

The Tang Residence housekeeper reasoned that a small medical hall wouldn’t dare to fool the Marshal Residence. With a frown, he led Gu Jiao to the Marshal Residence.

Tang Yueshan, seeing that the arriving doctor was a woman, was somewhat displeased. But Medical Officer Jiang recognized Gu Jiao instantly: "This... this is the doctor who was at the accident scene the other day! Her medical skills are excellent! She saved the most patients!"

Given what Medical Officer Jiang said, Tang Yueshan felt somewhat reassured. He glanced at Gu Jiao.

Her face marred.

However, she showed no signs of self-pity or timidity, but appeared quite composed.

Still, he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was a hint of... exhilaration? in her eyes.

Must be his imagination.

Why should she be excited about treating his nephew? She ought to be anxious, as there would be hell to pay if she couldn’t cure him.

Tang Yueshan said solemnly, "The housekeeper must have told you about my nephew’s condition. Can you treat it?"

"Yes, I can." Gu Jiao replied.

Tang Yueshan was taken aback. She agreed... just like that? Without even pausing to consider?

"The consultation fee won’t be cheap." Gu Jiao added.
