The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 800

Chapter 800: 373 Jiaojiao the Koi Fish (Second Update)

This "Honghong" is horrifying!

The Emperor felt a chill in his soul! If he weren’t so old, unable to tumble anymore, he’d probably throw himself off a cliff!

Empress Dowager Zhuang entered the Emperor’s study room in a rush.

Thanks to Gu Jiao’s companionship and care for over a year, she was much healthier than before, and even her hair had become black again.

She sat down across the desk, crossed her legs, and stared at the Emperor.

The Emperor frowned at her impetuous demeanor, "Mother, do you need anything?"

"Nothing, just came to see you!" Empress Dowager Zhuang replied casually. After realizing her perfunctory tone wouldn’t cut it, she paused, grinned, and added, "This widow came to see Honghong."

The Emperor’s goosebumps spilled onto the floor!

In order to showcase her soulful acting skills, Empress Dowager Zhuang made Eunuch Qin guard the door, leaving just her and the Emperor in the room.

With a leg shaking, Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at the Emperor with profound meaning, as if she was looking at five walking candies.

This thought mollified Empress Dowager Zhuang towards the Emperor. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

Emperor: Why do I feel that my mother’s gaze towards me is not right?

Empress Dowager Zhuang decided to show concern for her candy... ah no, her son. She smiled, and kindly asked, "Have you eaten? Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? Are you warm enough? How are you getting on? Do you have any difficulties?"

Emperor: "..."

Empress Dowager Zhuang then lavished care on the Emperor for a while. Moreover, she accompanied (forced) the Emperor for lunch and invited (coerced) him to visit the Imperial Garden, ensuring that everyone in the harem knew how loving a mother she had been that day.

Then, she leisurely returned to Renshou Palace.

"Where’s Jiaojiao?" She asked Eunuch Qin.

Eunuch Qin smiled and answered, "Miss Gu has left the palace."

Empress Dowager Zhuang’s face darken: "Where are my candies?"

Eunuch Qin recoiled: "She... took them."

Empress Dowager Zhuang’s face darkened in an instant!

It so happens that after leaving the palace, Gu Jiao did not immediately return to the Medical Hall. Recently, there was a new doctor in the hall, so she didn’t have to sit in every day like before, which made it easier for her to do her own thing.

She had run out of saltpeter and was planning to find some more. Unfortunately, such a thing was extremely difficult to purchase on the market.

As Gu Jiao walked down the avenue, she rubbed her chin in deep thought.
