The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 885

Chapter 885: 408 Coming to Find Me (Two More Chapters)

Princess Xinyang fainted without any warning.

The servants in the courtyard did not panic with worry; instead, they carried out their tasks in an orderly fashion under Yujin’s direction.

Princess Xinyang was carried to the bedchamber by Yujin.

Gu Jiao did not expect the delicate Yujin to have such strength but realized that Yujin, who was not accustomed to practicing martial arts, had used all her strength in this effort.

She gasped for breath in a sorry state, with thin beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.

"Lady Yujin, this servant will go fetch the doctor," said a young maid.

Yujin first nodded and then, as if she remembered something, shook her head.

Then, she turned to Gu Jiao, who had not taken the opportunity to run away in the chaos, and looked at her intently as she asked, "Doctor Gu, can I trust you?"

...

The evening light slanted from the west.

Xiao Liulang had finished a whole day’s work and was coming out of Hanlin Academy when he noticed a little servant boy nervously pacing at the doorway.

The boy was a coachman from the Medical Hall, who often accompanied Gu Jiao on her medical visits.

Instinctively, Xiao Liulang looked behind the boy to see only a quiet carriage with its curtains tightly drawn, but his intuition told him that Gu Jiao was not inside.

"Little third son, what’s the matter?" Xiao Liulang walked over and asked.

Upon hearing Xiao Liulang’s voice, the boy turned his head abruptly, panic-stricken, and said, "Brother Xiao, Miss Gu is missing!"

Xiao Liulang’s brow furrowed: "When did she disappear? And where?"

The boy was beside himself with worry: "Just... just now..."

Xiao Liulang tried to calm him: "Don’t panic, tell me slowly."

The boy knew he had to control himself, after all, he had accompanied Miss Gu when she met the Emperor, he had to be calm... he had to be composed...

Regaining his composure, the boy recounted the events that had taken place in front of the store.

Xiao Liulang frowned and said, "Are you saying she just disappeared suddenly?"

After completing the sale to Gu Jiao, the store had sold out of materials and closed, with no other customers coming by. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
