The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 434

Chapter 434: 219 Grandfather (First Night Watch)_2

“Palace Examination?” He gazed perplexedly at the room full of people, “Has the Palace Examination passed already?”

Princess Xinyang said, “It has indeed, you had a conflict with someone during the examination, fell accidentally, and have been unconscious for quite a few days now.”

There was no fire from four years ago, he has managed to survive until now.

“Where is Jiaojiao?” He asked.

“Who is Jiaojiao?” Princess Xinyang asked, “You are already wedded with Linlang, you can’t possibly be interested in another girl outside, Linlang would be heartbroken.”

“Jiaojiao.” He lifted the blanket and stepped off the bed.

“My legs…” He gazed incredulously at his own legs, they could move, without any hint of injury.

Indeed, without the fire, naturally there would not be his fall from grace, nor the injuries.

Princess Xinyang shouted, “Put on some clothes, it’s cold outside!”

He hurriedly dashed to Bishui Alley, he arrived at the home he shared with Gu Jiao, but when he forcefully pushed open the door of the courtyard, it was empty, there was nothing inside.

A sinking feeling formed in his heart.

He knocked on the door of the old libationer’s courtyard.

But the person who opened the door was not the old libationer, but a stranger.

He then went to Elder Zhao’s house: “Elder Zhao, it’s me, Liulang!”

Elder Zhao and his wife looked at him in confusion: “Who are you?”

Then he went to the adjacent neighbor’s house: “Aunt Zhang, it’s me! I am Liulang!”

Aunt Zhang looked at him, completely bewildered.

He had not been here, no one recognized him.

He felt chilled to the bone.

He thought of the Medical Hall, he frantically hurried over there.

The Medical Hall was still there, but the people of the Medical Hall also didn’t recognize him anymore.

Finally, in the grand hall, he saw that familiar small figure.

He approached her quickly, he was about to call her Jiaojiao, but she looked at him with an extremely unfamiliar gaze, and said to a doctor at the side: “Here is a patient, you can look after them.”

She walked by him without looking back even once.

A suffocating feeling welled up in his heart, as though something was clasping it tightly.

This feeling was truly unbearable, he abruptly awoke from it.

Soon after, he realized that it was all a dream.

Today, two critically ill patients were discharged, it was a day to be celebrated.

But not seeing Xiao Liulang made her feel like something was missing.

On the other hand, Lord Gu was also planning to go out.

Ever since Madame Yao moved to Bishui Alley, she refused to move back. With Gu Jiao blocking him, no matter how hard he tried, whether it was by force or persuasion, he couldn’t get her back. Before, Madame Yao would still listen to him, but after Gu Jiao came, he felt that his position in Madame Yao’s heart had plummeted.

He couldn’t let this continue.

He had to go and find Madame Yao alone.

He had perfectly timed it for when Gu Jiao was at the Medical Hall, unfortunately, he also had to be at the Yamen at this hour.

After much contemplation, he decided to skip work!

Setting aside his efficiency at work, his professional attitude was commendable, this was the first time he decided to skip work in his official career.

However, for his daughter-in-law, he was willing to put everything on the line!

On the way, he also pondered that after bringing Madame Yao back, he could pay Jin Yu a visit at the Ministry of Justice.

Jin Yu had been in prison for so long, he must have suffered a lot.

He set off, full of determination, but he froze on-the-spot the moment he opened the mansion gate.

Outside the gate stood an elderly man in cotton-padded clothes. He was taller and burlier than him, his hair had silver threads, but he was full of vitality, with an overpowering aura.
