Chapter 899: 415 The Truth About the Illness (Two Updates)

Gu Jiao had nothing else to do now, and it wasn’t too late outside.

The prince’s residence and the Hanlin Academy were in the same direction. She could go and diagnose the prince’s wife and then pick up Xiao Liulang from his service.

Gu Jiao said, "Good, just wait for me. I need to gather my things."

The court lady smiled and said, "We have prepared the carriage. Once the prince’s wife’s treatment is done, wherever you wish to go, Gu Doctor, we will take you."

Gu Jiao shook her head, "There’s no need for that trouble; I’ll take the carriage from the Medical Hall."

The court lady complied, "We’ll follow Gu Doctor’s wishes." _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}

Gu Jiao carried a small basket on her back as she boarded the carriage. The small basket contained her first aid kit, some commonly used Traditional Chinese Medicine, and a few personal items she needed for travel.

The basket didn’t look large, but it was quite accommodating.

Xiao Sanzi was driving the carriage.

Following the carriage from the prince’s residence, they arrived at the residence without any obstructions.

This was Gu Jiao’s first time entering an ancient royal residence. She hadn’t gone inside when she sent the Rui prince’s wife home last time; this time, she could take the opportunity to see what a royal residence looked like.

The residence of the prince covered a vast area, including an entire street within its boundaries, though merely a small street, not a busy thoroughfare like Chang’an Avenue or Xuanwu Avenue.

Both sides of the small street were lined with living quarters for the prince’s servants, and the closer they got to the residence, the tighter the security became—surely those living closer held extraordinary status.

Physicians had a low standing in Zhan Country, and a female physician’s status was even lower. Normally, she wouldn’t qualify to enter through the main gate, but Gu Jiao’s unique status meant that the court lady from the prince’s residence still led her in through the south gate, just not through the central gate but a smaller side gate instead.

This was a royal rule; the main gate was solely for the prince, the princess, and the royal family’s legitimate direct descendants. Apart from them, only the emperor and the empress dowager could use it; it was forbidden for others.

Even if Madame Zhuang came, she would have to enter through the side gate.

The court lady told Gu Jiao her family name was Yao.

Gu Jiao noted silently, the same surname as the Yao Family; what a coincidence.

The landscape of the prince’s residence was more orthodox than she had imagined, complementing the prince’s temperament, but details like pavilions, terraces, and corridors, as well as the songs of birds and fragrance of flowers, still revealed the touch of the prince’s wife’s design.
