The Prime Minister's Darling
Chapter 1335 - 1335 651 Scheming Xiao Hen (First Update)

Chapter 1335: 651 Scheming Xiao Hen (First Update) Chapter 1335: 651 Scheming Xiao Hen (First Update) Everyone was startled by the Duke’s terrible state.

Whether it was a severe fall or not, they temporarily failed to grasp; their minds were filled with one thought—wasn’t the Duke unconscious? Was this a sign of improvement?

The fact that the Duke had fallen into a vegetative state was no secret in Capital City. Over the years, the Duke Residence had spared no effort in seeking renowned physicians to awaken the Duke, and it was said that they had recently invited a disciple of the divine physician Luo from Chen to treat him.

Could it be that this disciple was truly a reincarnation of Hua Tuo?

Gu Xiaoshun knew nothing of the Duke Residence’s affairs and took the Duke for an ordinary person. He poked his head out of the carriage window and, with a click of his tongue, said, “Xiaoliu, he took a nasty fall. Should we go check on him?”

Ever since learning that Xiao Hen and Gu Jiao had switched identities, to minimize interactions with their previous identities, Xiaoshun no longer called Gu Jiao his brother-in-law but addressed her by name.

Gu Yan also stuck his head out, and the two heads huddled together were crowded.

Gu Yan looked at the Duke’s gaze towards Gu Jiao and frowned in confusion.

Gu Jiao dismounted from her horse.

The others, unaware of Gu Jiao’s medical expertise, were very surprised to see her approach the Duke.

What was she doing?

Second Young Master Jing finally snapped out of his dazed state, performed an impressive fish leap to stand up, and swiftly climbed back onto the carriage before Gu Jiao could.

“Big brother! How did you fall? Let me help you up!”

Second Young Master Jing showed off the formidable strength of his Qilin Arm to his older brother, then received a deathly glare in return.

He didn’t understand what was going on.

The Duke was helped back into his wheelchair by Second Young Master Jing.

Gu Jiao planned to get onto the carriage.

Second Young Master Jing stretched out his hand to block her, asking sternly, “Why are you getting on?”

This brat, who was so quick to use violence against others, clearly looked dangerous. He absolutely could not let him near his big brother!

Gu Jiao replied indifferently, “The Duke has fallen. I’m going to take a look.”

Second Young Master Jing said irritably, “You quack! I won’t let you treat my big brother!”

Second Young Master Jing received a second deathly glare from his own big brother.

Second Young Master Jing touched his nose sulkily and whispered to his big brother, “Don’t be scared, big brother. I won’t let him onto the carriage.”

Second Young Master Jing received a third deathly glare from his own big brother.

Gu Jiao didn’t rush to speak but merely glanced at Second Young Master Jing indifferently.

It was this seemingly casual glance that involuntarily brought a wave of fear over Second Young Master Jing, as if he were dominated by his older male cousin. He instantly caved in, “On account of Young Master Qingchen, I’ll grudgingly let you take a look at my big brother.”

Gu Jiao boarded the carriage.

“Excuse me,” Gu Jiao said to Second Young Master Jing, “you’re blocking the light.”

“Why should I move on my own… Alright, I’ll move! I’m not going to argue with you!” Second Young Master Jing heroically jumped off the carriage.

“You, come down too!”

He also dragged down the coachman.

To make a cushion for himself.

“Xiaoshun, give me the First Aid Kit,” Gu Jiao said.

“Right!” Gu Xiaoshun took out the First Aid Kit from his bag, deftly jumped down from the carriage, and handed it to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao hadn’t brought her first aid kit when she left home, but she did bring a First Aid Kit for emergencies, which contained urgent medications, a flashlight, and silver needles.

Gu Jiao first took the Duke’s pulse and then used a small flashlight to check his pupils.

She blocked the view with her body, so the rest could not see what she was using to examine the Duke, but her posture did rather resemble that of a physician.

Mu Qingchen’s brow furrowed slightly, turning to look at Gu Yan in the carriage beside him, “Does Xiao Liulang truly know medical skills?”

Gu Jiao, lying at the carriage window, hummed, “He’s quite skillful indeed.”

“The last time—” Mu Qingchen thought of the time Gu Jiao went to the Duke Residence to treat the Duke. She claimed Miao Ruoxin’s silver needle was misplaced. Could it have been true?

If Miao Ruoxin could misplace a silver needle, how advanced could her medical skills be?

If her skills weren’t excellent, how could the Duke’s condition have improved?

In the span of a moment, many thoughts had crossed Mu Qingchen’s mind.

Mu Chuan and the others were also surprised.

Mu Chuan’s eyes widened, “I didn’t see it coming—Xiaoliu actually knows medicine?”

Xiaoliu?

Gu Xiaoshun looked confused—when had his sister acquired such a nickname?

The Duke’s pupils were equal in size and responsive to light; his corneal reflex was also normal, indicating that his earlier facial twitching was not unconscious, and although not fully awake, he had at least left his state of deep coma.
