The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 597

Chapter 597: Empress Dowager takes action (Two updates)_2

But she, like the other generals, believed that the commander had retaliated on behalf of the original Gu Family Army members.

The Marquis Residence was the power of the emperor, and naturally, she couldn’t help them. Plus, they really did go too far.

The punishment for Tang Ming was unfair, but it did not warrant amputation.

He severely hurt Tang Ming in the name of martial arts challenge, and there was no way to resolve this peacefully.

"It was not for the Gu Family Army." Gu Jiao hesitated for a moment and then told the truth, "Tang Ming bullied Ayan, he kidnapped Ayan, locked him up... We searched for half a night before we found him. It was Gu Changqing who found him, barely missed..."

Barely missed what?

Gu Jiao did not continue.

But what kind of person was the Empress Dowager?

The amount of salt she had eaten was more than the amount of rice others had eaten.

How could she not guess what had happened?

The Empress Dowager only had one request for Gu Yan, and that was it’s alright as long as he was alive.

As a result, it was clear that this child was fragile, and encountering such a thing almost cost him his life.

The face of the Empress Dowager darkened: "He only lost an arm?"

Gu Jiao blinked: "He... also got a bit of discipline, then Tang Yueshan found out about it, so he wanted to arrest me."

The Empress Dowager expressed doubt: "Is that the only reason he wanted to arrest you? I think he wanted to kill you."

It’s because I heard his secret, but it actually didn’t matter, whether I heard the secret or not, Tang Yueshan won’t let me go.

That night, Gu Jiao and the Empress Dowager talked a lot. Gu Jiao was not a person who was good at communicating, she didn’t talk much and she was too lazy to do so even if she knew something.

But her aunt’s ability was just that, she could make her put down her guard and her pride, and also act like a chattering parrot.

By the time Eunuch Qin returned to the Renshou Palace with the report, Gu Jiao was already asleep on the Empress Dowager’s Phoenix Bed.

Her little face was turned toward the Empress Dowager. Her cheeks were squished and her little mouth was slightly open, with drool streaming out.

The Empress Dowager wiped it off, gently pulled up the blanket to cover her, picked up one of her hands, and sighed, "It’s broken again."

"Your Highness." Eunuch Qin saluted quietly, "The person has been brought."

The Empress Dowager gave a faint hum of acknowledgment.

Eunuch Qin brought the golden sore medicine and handed it to the Empress Dowager.
