The Prime Minister's Darling
Chapter 787 - 787 366 Jiaojiao Makes a Move (Second Update)

Chapter 787: 366 Jiaojiao Makes a Move (Second Update) Chapter 787: 366 Jiaojiao Makes a Move (Second Update) Gu Jiao was someone abandoned by her biological parents, left alone in a corner. Based on her understanding, no relationship was solid, and trust between individuals did not purely stem from the relationship itself.

Her world was simple, black and white, all solidness came from mutual liking and inner strength.

But at the same time, she understood that not everyone was like her, in fact, the majority of people were not like her.

They had their own standards, filled with the complexity and the weighing of human nature.

Gu Jiao frowned slightly.

Eunuch Qin noticed her expression and couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Gu, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

“No,” Gu Jiao shook her head, “This question is not in my scope, I can’t answer it.”

Eunuch Qin: “…”

However, even if she couldn’t answer, it didn’t affect her implementation of the next step of her plan.

Not everything in this world needs clear reasons. Take treating a disease as example, if a patient has a cold, even if she doesn’t know how he contracted it, she can still cure him.

The same goes for Concubine Jing.

Regardless of the reasons she drugged the Emperor years ago, Gu Jiao would not allow her to succeed again.

She wouldn’t have only bought one dose of the drug right? Her flipping out was so neat, clearly she had a backup plan.

Gu Jiao said goodbye to her grandma in the study room and then she left the palace.

She didn’t deliberately hide her whereabouts, even the Emperor quickly got the news. The Emperor thought she came to the palace to treat him and waited with anticipation for a while, but in the end he received the news that she had already left the palace.

The Emperor’s face turned dark green.

Eunuch Wei returned from the nunnery and reported to the Emperor in front of the Dragon Couch, “Your Majesty, the Royal Physician has checked the Empress Dowager, and it’s the old disease, not a big issue, she just needs to rest.”

The Emperor was not satisfied with the reply, “The Empress Dowager burned her hand, are you sure she is fine?”

Eunuch Wei replied, “She is not injured, just a slight redness. The Royal Physician has already prescribed the medicine, and said that she should recover soon.”

The emperor voiced his worry, “I’m still uneasy.” He said, preparing to get up from the bed.

Eunuch Wei quickly stopped him, “Your Majesty! What are you doing?”

The Emperor said, “I’m going to see the Empress Dowager. She must be upset because of what happened in Huaqing Palace today. If I don’t act, rumors will spread in the palace saying I don’t care about her.”

Haven’t Eunuch Wei been in the palace for many years, how could he not understand this?

But the Emperor’s health is still fragile, and the Royal Physician had emphasized the need for him to rest well.

Eunuch Wei, with earnest advice, said, “Your Majesty, taking care of your health is your priority now. The Empress Dowager should understand and as for the Palace maids? Empress Dowager is your mother, who would dare to make her upset?”

Except for the one in Longevity Palace.

Eunuch Wei added mentally.

He continued, “If you are really worried, I can go a few more times.”

Eunuch Wei was the Emperor’s confidant, him stepping up to such extent would surely represent the Emperor’s stand. His frequent visits to the nunnery would also make others apprehensive of Concubine Jing.

Despite all of this, the Emperor still insisted on going. However, just as he lifted the blanket and got out of bed, he felt dizzy and stumbled onto the Dragon Couch.

It seemed that he wouldn’t be able to go anytime soon.

“Your Majesty.” Eunuch Wei helped the Emperor lie down, adjusted the quilt, suddenly he remembered something and asked, “Your Majesty, did you tell the Empress Dowager about you having nightmares today?”

The Emperor replied, “No, why do you ask?”

Eunuch Wei embarrassedly smiled, “Ah…nothing, it’s just that the Empress Dowager mentioned your nightmares in the presence of the Empress when she came to visit you, how did she know, I don’t recall mentioning it to her.”

The Emperor furrowed his brows.

After a moment, he said nonchalantly, “Perhaps she overheard our conversation when she came to deliver the medicine.”

Was that so?

Why did he vaguely feel that the Empress Dowager’s expression was a bit strange then?

He didn’t dare to say this out loud, what if he was mistaken.

After leaving the palace, Gu Jiao didn’t go to the Medical Hall, nor did she return to Bishui Alley. Instead, she went to Qinghe Academy.

Gu Chengfeng had just finished using the toilet, he was still fastening his pants, when a small hand stretched out, pulling him out!

Gu Chengfeng’s pants nearly fell off!

He tightly held onto his waistband, turned back to see the person who pulled him up onto the wall, his face turning red from anger, “Damn girl! How could you have such a hobby! Peeping at a man taking off his pants in broad daylight!”

If you knew, you’d say this was his little sister, if you didn’t know, you’d think she was a peeping Tom from somewhere!
