The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 898

Chapter 898: 414 Confession (two updates)_3

Once his elder brother turns to Gu Jiao for confirmation, the Crown Princess and Yuan Tang might start to take notice of Gu Jiao, putting her in danger.

Prince Ning said with a somber expression, "I understand. Don’t spread the word about this for now. I’ll investigate and uncover the whole truth. It won’t be too late to report to Father Emperor once I have solid evidence."

Prince Rui nodded seriously in agreement, "Elder brother makes sense."

The Crown Princess was not an ordinary woman after all; she was a royal princess of the most revered status in Zhan Country and was destined to be the mother figure of the nation. If there were true evidence to bring her down, that would be one thing, but if the evidence was insufficient and she bit back, all of elder brother’s painstaking efforts over the years would go down the drain.

Thinking of something, Prince Rui said with concern, "Then... could Qianqian be in danger? The Crown Princess has seen her. If she tells Yuan Tang that their conversation might have been overheard by Qianqian, would Yuan Tang come to silence her? Yuan Tang’s martial arts are so advanced, and he has even attempted to assassinate Father Emperor..."

The more he spoke, the more terrified Prince Rui became.

Why did his wife have to encounter such a situation?

Prince Ning smiled gently and replied, "I will send someone to protect my sister-in-law at Prince Rui’s residence. For the time being, it’s best if she refrains from leaving the residence. If she must go out, she should take the shadow guard I sent her."

Prince Rui’s heart settled back in place, and he bowed with a smile, "That would be for the best. On behalf of Qianqian, I thank elder brother!"

Prince Ning clapped him on the shoulder, "There’s no need for thanks between family."

Medical Hall.

Gu Jiao had just returned from outside, where she treated a client by resetting his dislocated left arm. Then, the second owner came over, knocking on her consulting room door and asked with a smile, "Gu Jiao, do you have a moment later?"

"Speak," Gu Jiao responded succinctly.

The second owner entered, grinning, "Do you remember what day it is tomorrow?"

"What day?" Gu Jiao inquired.

The second owner said with feigned hurt, "You really forgot!"

Gu Jiao pulled up the memory in a second, "...Isn’t it the merchants’ gathering?"

A genius’s brain never disappoints.

The second owner beamed, "Exactly, it’s the merchants’ gathering at the Villa in the eastern suburbs of Capital City. Shall I have someone pick you up from Bishui Alley tomorrow morning?"

Gu Jiao uttered a sound of acknowledgment, "How many days will it be?"

The second owner indicated with his fingers, "Three days, it’ll be over quickly!"

"Alright," Gu Jiao nodded in agreement.
