Chapter 698: 328 Fight for Favor (Two updates)_2

Xiaojing Kong gave Gu Yan an even bigger spoonful: "Just as the ancient Kong Rong gave up his pear, today Jing Kong is giving up his bean curd. Eat more, Brother Yan."

Gu Yan: "No, you should eat more, you need to grow taller."

Xiaojing Kong: "I’m still young, I can grow taller slowly. Taking care of your health is more important, Brother Yan."

What a war of mutual harm!

The first operation of Anti-Brother-in-law Justice League ended in mutual harm!

...

Not until they had finished their meal were Gu Yan and Xiaojing Kong both out of sorts.

"Hmph!" Xiaojing Kong turned his face away disdainfully.

"Ha!" Gu Yan also turned his face away!

Everyone was mystified as to what was going on. How did they start quarreling?

After dinner, Gu Jiao continued her research on her black gunpowder. Halfway through, Steward Qin arrived.

Old Steward Qin almost fell head over heels as he jumped down from the carriage.

"Steward Qin, take it easy!" Gu Xiaoshun, who happened to be at the door, helped him.

Steward Qin wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled, "Thanks, Brother Xiaoshun! Is your sister at home?"

"Yes! She’s in the backyard!" Gu Xiaoshun replied, and then yelled inside, "Sis! Someone is looking for you! It’s Steward Qin!"

Gu Jiao packed up her bottles and jars from the ground, stood up and looked at the hurried Steward Qin: "What brings you here so late, Steward Qin? Is my aunt looking for me?"

Steward Qin hurriedly said: "Ah... yes, no!"

Gu Jiao asked: "Well, is it or isn’t it?"

"Oh!" Steward Qin pinched himself, "Look at my loose mouth. Whenever I’m flustered, I can’t speak properly. The truth is, Miss Gu, the Dowager Empress swallowed a fish bone which got stuck deeply in her throat. The imperial physicians are helpless, so I came looking for you!"

"Alright, I’ll accompany you to the palace right away." Gu Jiao went back to the eastern room, picked up the first aid kit, and left with Steward Qin.

Before she could even get into the carriage, another carriage stopped at her doorstep.

Steward Wei got out of the carriage, also looking anxious: "Miss Gu! Miss Gu!"

Gu Jiao responded with a hum: "Steward Wei is also here for me?"

Steward Wei said, gasping for breath: "His Majesty... His Majesty requests that Miss Gu visit the Huaqing Palace... Someone is injured!"

Steward Qin grabbed Gu Jiao’s sleeve: "Miss Gu, please see the Dowager Empress first!"

"What happened to the Dowager Empress?" Before Steward Qin could answer, Steward Wei grabbed Gu Jiao’s other sleeve, "It’s urgent, Miss Gu, go with me to the Huaqing Palace first!"
