Chapter 201: 145.1

Not long after, people from the Third Prince's residence came over.

The Third Prince was currently at the imperial study, so the coachman was unable to meet him in person. Instead, he had to ask the imperial guards of the prince residence for help.

Hearing that the situation was very serious, a total of more than ten imperial guards as well as a physician from the prince residence accompanied him back to the medical hall.

As soon as Court Lady Xu saw them, a hope was instantly lit up in her heart. She ran out of the medical hall, lifting her skirt with her hand, and pointed to Second Owner and co, saying, "You came just in time, they kidnapped the Third Prince’s Consort! The Third Prince’s Consort is currently locked up by them! Quickly go in and save her!"

When Second Owner saw a bunch of guards rushing in, he thought how this land was under the foot of the Son of Heaven(aka emperor) and felt unafraid of them. They opened up a medical hall and practiced medicine to treat people’s diseases, etc. If they were to file a complaint to the yamen about this sudden intrusion, it was also within reason.

But when he heard the name "Third Prince’s Consort", his legs suddenly softened.

Was this a joke?

The patient inside was actually the Third Prince’s Consort? The daughter-in-law of the current emperor?

His family’s Little Gu just cut open the stomach of a prince's consort...

Second Owner wanted to choke people again and passed out ...

The medical hall was still in the preparatory stage, and quite a lot of people were in the lobby. Shopkeeper Wang, Little Liu, the apprentice of the old physician, and some newly recruited staff, all of them were arbitrarily restricted by the guards of the Third Prince residence.

The leading guard was about to rush into the side room to rescue the Third Prince's Consort when the door of the room creaked open.

The Third Prince's Consort held Gu Jiao's hand as she walked out with difficulty, her other hand instinctively covering her wound.

Her complexion was still a bit pale, but it was much better compared to the half-dead state she was in back in the carriage.

When the guards saw her, they apologetically made their salutations one after another.

The Third Prince's Consort glanced coldly at the crowd. Her voice sounded weak but her aura was undiminished as she said, "Are you all rebelling? Still not going to let people go?"

The imperial guards looked at one another.

The effect of the anesthetic was slowly wearing off, and the Third Prince's Consort started feeling pain from the wound. However, as Gu Jiao said, it was within the limits of her tolerance.

She knew full well that she had narrowly escaped death this time.

She looked coldly at a room full of imperial guards, saying, "Why? Is it that my words don’t work on you people? Who did you borrow your courage from? I’m going to ask His Highness later whether he instructed you not to take my words seriously!"

"This subordinate dares not!" The leading imperial guard took the lead in sheathing his sword and then made a gesture at the rest of the guards. Everyone then let go of the medical hall's people, inserting back their blades in their scabbards.

Court Lady Xu came up to her and asked worriedly, "Third Prince’s Consort, are you all right?"

Somewhat exhausted, the Third Prince's Consort leaned against Gu Jiao. She responded, "I don't have the strength to deal with you right now, I'll sort you out when we get back to the prince residence."

If it hadn’t been for the fact that the operation was already over, this girl might have accidentally killed her due to people barging in.

Gu Jiao, of course, took this event into account, so she ended the operation as soon as possible.

The Third Prince's Consort didn’t know Gu Jiao's carefulness, but she was already grateful enough for her actions tonight. She saved not only her life, but also her dignity.

"Young Miss Gu, I’ll be leaving now." She said weakly.

Gu Jiao let out an ‘en’ then said, "The stitches should be removed in seven days."

The Third Prince's Consort nodded with difficulty, "I understand, I got it."

She seemed about to collapse at any moment. Court Lady Xu and Court Lady Liu hastened to take her from Gu Jiao’s hold and helped her to sit in the carriage, finally going back home.

Seven days later, the Third Prince's Consort didn't come to the medical hall to remove the stitches.

Gu Jiao didn’t worry however. She was a prince’s consort, and there must be a skilled physician in their prince residence. Furthermore, there were also the imperial physicians in the palace. Such a trivial matter as stitches removal could not frustrate them.

On a sunny morning, the medical hall officially opened.

The family got up early to show their support for the medical hall. Even the elderly woman, who always stayed in bed until late in the morning, crawled out of her bed early today.

However, neither the Imperial Academy nor the Qinghe Academy was on a holiday. Gu Jiao refused the four people’s intention to ask for a leave of absence and merely expressed that she appreciated their kindness.

The four of them: Why is it so difficult to skip a class?

The four brothers, each carrying their book bags in their arms, went to the Imperial Academy and Qinghe Academy respectively.

The elderly woman had nothing else to do, so she took the carriage sent by Second Owner and went to the medical hall together with Gu Jiao.

The inscribed board of the medical hall had already been hung up. They were just waiting for Gu Jiao to unveil the red cloth.

Gu Jiao, without any further ado, lifted her hand and took off the red cloth. On the simple and unadorned yet imposing inscribed board, three golden words were written with vigorous and graceful strokes—— Miraculous Hand Hall!

Second Owner was extremely happy. Although the Rejuvenation Hall was no longer under his management, now there was a Miraculous Hand Hall, and he was still worthy of the name Second Owner!

Gu Jiao was also very satisfied. Things in the capital were always expensive; just sitting back and eating without doing anything wouldn’t work here. With the medical hall, she could start making a lot of money, and with a lot of money, the four men in the family would be able to read more books and study better with ease.

In their respective classrooms, the four people, who had been fully subjected to attending school, sneezed in unison...

On the first day of the medical hall's opening, all patients were treated for free. They also offered a 20% discount on medicinal herbs and 50% discount on supplements. There was also a bowl of longan and red date soup prepared using a secret recipe as a give away.

This was made from the highest quality dried red dates and longan pulp, and also contained wolfberry, which could replenish qi and nourish blood, improving one’s skin and maintaining one’s youthful appearance. Most importantly, it was very sweet, which was delicious!

The elderly woman stayed by the kitchen area and drank bowl after bowl of it!

Only a few guests had come, but the soup had already been reduced by half.

The women’s academy also started classes today.

Gu Jinyu got up very early. When she dressed up and went to greet her parents, she saw both Marquis Gu and Yao shi well dressed too. It looked like they were going out.

Gu Jinyu was slightly stunned, "Dad, Mom, what are you..."

Marquis Gu smilingly said, "Isn't today the start of classes in the women’s academy?"

As soon as she heard these words, Gu Jinyu immediately understood. She asked, "Dad and Mom... are going to send me to the women’s academy?"

Recently, the relationship between her parents seemed to have tensed a bit. Her Mom seemingly had become a different person, and began to confront Concubine Ling in the estate, so she paid even less attention to her.

An expression of joy couldn't help showing on her face as she said "Dad, Mom, you’re so nice to me!"

Marquis Gu patted her daughter's hand fondly, saying, "Well, time is running, it's time to go. Don't be late on your first day of school!"

If they arrived late, they wouldn’t be able to see the marvelous scene of that girl entering the women’s academy!

He wanted his wife to see the efforts he made for that girl with her own eyes!

"Let’s hurry, my wife!"

Otherwise they would be too late for the surprise!

Since last night, he had been talking about a surprise or whatnot to Yao shi. Yao shi also wondered what it could be. Was it to send Jinyu to the women’s academy?

Along the way, Yao shi wasn’t in high spirits.

Gu Jinyu was supposed to be excited that her Mom was sending her to school, but somehow she couldn’t feel any excitement.

Gu Jinyu wasn’t unaware of her mother's general mood these days. Whenever her mother had a confrontation with Concubine Ling recently, she’d always have this deep look on her face, so she also didn't take it too personally.

The carriage soon arrived at the women’s academy.

The scene of her wife meeting that girl as she walked into the women’s academy was already playing in Marquis Gu’s head!
