The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 463 - 234 Packet Capture (update)_2
Chapter 463: 234 Packet Capture (update)_2
Gu Yan, who just wished to quietly be a baby: “…”
The Medical Hall originally opened its doors in the morning, and doctors would be on standby at night. If required, one could knock on the door. His business has been thriving recently, so he started to open half a time unit (an hour) earlier.
Shortly after, the Medical Hall began to get busy.
Gu Jiao was checking the herbs in the medicine cabinet. Due to limited storage conditions in the ancient times, the shelf life of herbs was largely shortened, so she needed to check them from time to time.
While she was halfway through her check, the little medicine boy by her side suddenly called out to her in a low voice, “Miss Gu.”
Gu Jiao turned around to see that the medicine boy was gesturing towards the Grand Hall. She glanced in that direction and saw Prince An standing there, clad in white, looking radiant like the stars and moon.
There were two sisters by Prince An’s side, Zhuang Mengdie and Zhuang Yuexi.
Gu Jiao knew Zhuang Mengdie, given that she had sold her so many things, she somewhat considered her to be a minor source of income. As for Zhuang Yuexi, Gu Jiao was not very familiar with her.
The Zhuang sisters were dressed in the attire of a female scholar, wearing a skirt with white, goose-yellow silk edges, fitting perfectly around their waist, showcasing the gracefulness of young girls.
In terms of looks, Zhuang Mengdie was really more superior, but sadly, she was quite obtuse.
Zhuang Yuexi was not unattractive either, but she paled slightly in comparison to Gu Jinyu’s beauty.
However, her delicate makeup and refined demeanor overwhelmingly overshadowed Zhuang Mengdie.
Besides, Gu Jiao noticed that Zhuang Yuexi had a scarf around her neck.
Gu Jiao’s gaze fell on Zhuang Yuexi’s neck, and Zhuang Yuexi instinctively lifted her hand to cover her neck.

“Why are we here while brother is getting his check-up?” Zhuang Mengdie grumbled discontentedly.
She liked tagging along with her brother wherever he went, but only if it involved touring and playing around.
“Then you can go to class on your own. I’ll wait for brother,” Zhuang Yuexi told Zhuang Mengdie.
Prince An addressed his sisters, “No need, both of you should go to class. Don’t be late.”
Zhuang Yuexi twisted her fingers, “Then… will you come to pick us up in the afternoon?”
Prince An said, “I have something to do, the driver will come to pick you up.”
Zhuang Yuexi glanced at Gu Jiao.
She knew.
Brother wouldn’t just come pick them up.
Zhuang Yuexi exited with a cold expression.
Gu Jiao watched her small retreating figure, and her face betrayed her reflective thoughts.
Prince An was here to get the medicine and to get checked because his medicines were over.
He had been here for a follow-up check a few times before this.
“You don’t need to come for check-ups so frequently.” Gu Jiao was just short of saying that this wasn’t a serious illness and would be cured soon.
Prince An smiled and said, “I can see now. Last night when I put out the candle, I could still see a little bit.”
Over the past few nights, he could only sense brightness. However, he was able to see a blurry outline last night, which gave him immense joy.
“In a few days, you will be able to see even more.” Gu Jiao began the vision test for him.
Prince An stared at the strange blueprint in front of him and wondered, “What is this? It wasn’t here the last time I came.”
“A vision chart,” she made it herself.
“Is it made especially for me?” Prince An’s eyes lit up.
Gu Jiao said, “You need a vision test to see the specific results of the treatment.”
Unable to contain his joy, Prince An said, “So, it was indeed made especially for me.”
Gu Jiao: “…”
After his check-up, Prince An took his new medicine and left in high spirits.
The Medical Hall continued to be busy till noon when it gradually became quiet. At noon, Gu Yan and Gu Jiao had their meals at the Medical Hall. Gu Jiao went to the kitchen to instruct them to cook Gu Yan a couple of separate dishes.
Gu Yan couldn’t eat food that was too spicy. Normally, the people at home would accommodate him and eat mild food. However, the people in the Medical Hall had to work and needed to eat some oily and salty food for energy.
“Shall I stir fry some vegetables and stew Crucian Carp Tofu soup for Young Master Gu?” the cook asked.
“Good.” Gu Jiao was very satisfied with this arrangement. It would be enough for her and Gu Yan to eat.
After leaving the kitchen, Gu Jiao did not go straight back to the small courtyard, but went to the back door of the girls’ school.
At this time, the girls’ school was at mealtime. There was a dining hall in the school, but it was not inside the school, but across the street from the back gate.
The reason was that they didn’t take over the storefront next door, so they had to convert the intended dining hall into a music hall.
The dining hall had rented a restaurant across the back door.
Zhuang Yuexi and Zhuang Mengdie walked towards the dining hall.
Zhuang Mengdie sighed, “Ah, we have to take the exam again, it’s so annoying! If we sit together for the exam, let me copy from you.”
Zhuang Yuexi sneered, “The seats are arranged according to our grades, can you, with your pig brain, sit next to me for the exam?”
Zhuang Mengdie was angry, “What are you talking about? If I’m a pig brain, then what are you? We came out of the same womb! If I’m a pig, so are you!”
Zhuang Yuexi was too lazy to deal with her, and walked past her.
Zhuang Mengdie was not willing to lose, and ran a few steps ahead of her, “Hmph!”
After running a few steps, she felt that she could not give up so easily. What if they were to sit together? She must copy.
“I tell you…”
Zhuang Mengdie turned around, ready to plead with her sister again, but where was Zhuang Yuexi on the bustling street?
“Too much! I don’t want you as a sister anymore!”
Zhuang Mengdie stomped her foot and walked away angrily!
In a small alley near the Medical Hall, Zhuang Yuexi was thrown to the ground by Gu Jiao.
Zhuang Yuexi winced in pain and looked at Gu Jiao, “What are you trying to do?”
Looking down at her, Gu Jiao asked, “Was it you?”
Zhuang Yuexi’s eyes flickered, “What was me? I do not understand what you’re talking about!”
Zhuang Yuexi stood up coldly, leaning against the wall.
“Is it?” Gu Jiao raised her hand lightly and pulled off the scarf around her neck, revealing the newly scabbed wound.
The wound seeped blood and stuck to the scarf. When Gu Jiao pulled the scarf down, the scab was also torn off, and blood suddenly flowed out.
As a doctor, Gu Jiao could tell at a glance that this wound was less than twelve hours old.
Zhuang Yuexi took a step back and covered the wound, looking at Gu Jiao anxiously.
Gu Jiao and Zhuang Yuexi met officially for the first time today, but clearly Zhuang Yuexi had been observing her for a long time in the dark, otherwise she would not have been able to find out where she lived.
Gu Jiao had no interest in why Zhuang Yuexi wanted to frame her. She had never offended Zhuang Yuexi. If Zhuang Yuexi wanted to cause trouble for her over and over again, then the problem must be with Zhuang Yuexi herself.
She took a step forward, her eyes cold.
Zhuang Yuexi had never seen such eyes before, and couldn’t help but take several steps back.
But there was a wall behind her, she had nowhere to retreat.
Gu Jiao’s slender fingers stroked her slender neck, lingering on the wound, as if she could break her neck with a single touch.
Her touch on Zhuang Yuexi’s neck was very gentle.
However, Zhuang Yuexi felt as though she couldn’t breathe, as if something was strangling her breath.
In a light tone, Gu Jiao said, “Girl, for the sake of my aunt also having the surname Zhuang, I will spare you this time, but only this time. Do not provoke me again, because you cannot afford the consequences.”
Her voice was not loud, but each word made Zhuang Yuexi feel a great danger.
Having said that, she let go of Zhuang Yuexi and walked away without looking back.
Zhuang Yuexi collapsed to the ground, her whole body soaked in cold sweat.
After a long time, she finally found her voice, realising she had lost face in front of her. She roared, “Your aunt… what difference does it make even if your aunt is also surnamed Zhuang… My aunt is the Empress Dowager! The Empress Dowager——”
Gu Jiao didn’t pay her any attention and stepped out of the alley.
