The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 772

Chapter 772: 359 Little Great-Grandson (One More)_2

"Wait for a moment." Gu Jiao went to the eastern room to put down her small back-basket and took out the first aid kit. Upon opening the lid, there indeed was an additional box of hair growth ointment inside.

This first aid kit could not only determine the medicine needed by the patients, but also keep track of the course of their illness and the dosage. It was very convenient indeed, if only... it would stop producing strange things, that would be even better.

Gu Jiao took out the hair growth ointment and handed it to Gu Chengfeng: "Here, one hundred taels."

Gu Chengfeng was immediately incensed: "You’re charging me one hundred taels for such a small box of ointment? That’s outrageous!"

Gu Jiao calmly replied: "Family price!"

Especially for you, the family price. For others, it’s one tael!

Gu Chengfeng begrudgingly took out a banknote.

Gu Jiao happily accepted it.

Everyone was staring at her without blinking.

Gu Jiao had felt that something was off since she entered the courtyard, and now it was getting stranger and stranger.

"What’s going on... why is everyone staring at me so intently?" She asked.

"Old madam! Old madam!" Yu Yaya came over with a tray holding a bowl of tonic soup, "The soup you ordered is ready!"

Yu Yaya placed the tonic soup on the table, it was black and looked similar to the one Xiao Liulang usually made.

The dowager empress pushed the bowl of soup towards Gu Jiao: "Drink up. It was made especially for you, you’ve been working hard these days and have lost weight. You need to take care of yourself."

She said all this with a straight face.

The others secretly gave the dowager empress a thumbs-up in their minds. Truly, none could match her cunning.

"Oh." Despite the soup not looking very appetizing, Gu Jiao wasn’t picky. Since it was specially prepared for her by her family, she would not let it go to waste.

Gu Jiao picked up the bowl of soup, took a deep breath, and, with a glugging sound, finished it off.

"Ugh——"

It tasted awful!

Gu Jiao nearly vomited!

Everyone suddenly turned to the dowager empress; there wasn’t an issue with this soup, was there?

The dowager empress harrumphed, how could there possibly be an issue? It invigorates qi and nourishes yin; it’s a tonic she’s been relying on for thirty years!

All the previous emperors’ consorts drank this tonic, and because of it, they had robust health!

Gu Jiao felt nauseous; she covered her chest, took a deep breath, and glanced around to find all eyes on her in unison.

Gu Changqing had originally come to visit the twins, but today Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun had to rest at Nanxiang and Master Lu’s place. Not having much choice, Gu Changqing left with Gu Chengfeng.

"Ahem, I, I will also go over there, I want to see how Jingkong is doing with his homework." The old priest went back next door, where Jingkong was doing his homework for the night.

The dowager empress went to the western room where Xiao Liulang and Jingkong were.

The old eunuch Qin followed her: "Empress dowager?"

The dowager empress looked at the bed, called over the royal guards with her, and pointing towards the bed, ordered sternly: "Break it!"

The royal guard: "..."

Eunuch Qin: "..."

After a loud crash, the dowager empress ran out of the western room, flailing her arms: "Ah! Jiaojiao! Eunuch Qin and Little Dengzi are fighting, and they’ve broken the bed!"

Eunuch Qin shuddered from head to toe!

What did this have to do with him?!

And what kind of fight could possibly break a bed? That sounded very fishy!

Before Gu Jiao could be summoned by the dowager empress, Little Jingkong had already rushed over.

He had just finished his homework when he heard his great-aunt saying a bed had collapsed, and being at the curious age, he went to see whose bed had fallen apart.
