Chapter 662 - 662 313 Assassination Attempt (Second Update)
?Chapter 662: 313 Assassination Attempt (Second Update) Chapter 662: 313 Assassination Attempt (Second Update) Due to the hot weather, the wealthy daughters of the Women’s Institute were suffering heat strokes one after another. Gu Jiao was so busy that she barely had time to rest. She hadn’t visited her great-aunt in the palace for a few days, so she was still unaware of her illness.
“…Yes, no need for medicine, drinking some water infused with Houttuynia cordata would do. It’s also called fish mint, do you have it at home? If not, you can get some from the pharmacy.
“Gu Jiao finished examining an heiress from the Women’s Institute and made a note, “Next one.”
The door opened. In came the Duchess of Rui, whom Gu Jiao had not seen for several days.
This time, the Duchess of Rui did not cut in line. Despite being five months pregnant, she quietly waited her turn for half of 2 hours.
“Why are you here?” Gu Jiao invited her to sit down.
The Duchess of Rui’s complexion was as rosy as ever. The pregnancy was really treating her well. However, her eyes were somewhat red and swollen, as if she had just cried.
“What’s wrong? Show me.” Gu Jiao signaled for her to extend her hand.
The Duchess of Rui shook her head, “It’s not me, it’s Empress Dowager Jing. I visited her yesterday, and she is feeling unwell again…”
As the Duchess of Rui spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and fell down her cheeks.
The Duchess of Rui didn’t used to cry easily, but ever since her pregnancy, her tear ducts were overly active. The smallest things would set her off, and she couldn’t stop crying. She didn’t know why it was happening.
Blame the pregnancy hormones, Gu Jiao handed her a handkerchief.
The Duchess of Rui wiped away her tears and looked up at Gu Jiao with reddened eyes, “Can you come and see Empress Dowager Jing with me when you finish your work today?”
Gu Jiao called Dr. Song over, “Are any doctors going out on calls today?”
Dr. Song replied, “No, everyone is at the Medical Hall today.”
Gu Jiao nodded, “Alright, I’ll have to step out for a while. Please look after things here.”
