Chapter 1264: 616 Princess of Hu Guo County (second update)_3 Chapter 1264: 616 Princess of Hu Guo County (second update)_3 He looked towards the empress dowager again—
The next second, he kowtowed with a thump—
It wasn’t out of fright, but shock.
Wasn’t that the old lady from the girl’s family ho?
He had seen her in the countryside before, and at that ti, he found her familiar. However, he had never formally t the empress dowager a few tis and was too afraid to recognize her.
Who could recognize her in such a situation?
How could the empress dowager be… a gluttonous old lady from the countryside?
Had he spoken any disrespectful words to the old lady… uh, no, to the empress dowager?
It was over, he was so nervous he couldn’t rember anything!
Lord Gu felt like he wanted to die. What on earth had the girl done? How could she hide the empress dowager in her own ho without giving him a heads-up?
Would it kill her to tell him?
Day by day, all she knew was how to trouble her father!
Lord Gu covered his chest; he felt like he was about to develop heart disease.
“This girl is here to spell my doom… she’s co for my life…”
Lord Gu felt almost certain he was a goner. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes in resignation.
Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Zhuang didn’t even spare him a glance and went straight into the mansion with Gu Jiao.
Lord Gu: “…”
“Do you like it?”
In the pavilion, Empress Dowager Zhuang asked Gu Jiao.
“I do,” Gu Jiao replied earnestly.
Indeed, she did like it. There was the mansion built exactly like her Bishui Alley ho, the courtyard ticulously recreated after the dical Hall, and besides these, there were pavilions, terraces, towers, verandas, the Book Pavilion, a practice room, and even a grassland for horse riding and archery.
Empress Dowager Zhuang said, “Bishui Alley is getting too crowded. Pick a day to move over.”
“I…” Gu Jiao opened her mouth to speak.
Empress Dowager Zhuang noticed her expression and asked, “What is it? Can’t bear to leave?”
Gu Jiao covered her chest.
Is this what feeling unable to leave is like?
She didn’t even experience this when she left her village.
It seed as if… she could slightly sense the complex emotions that were once elusive to her.
Empress Dowager Zhuang handed her the deed to the house: “No rush, move whenever you feel like it.”
“All right,” replied Gu Jiao.
The two toured around the estate before returning by horse-drawn carriage.
On the carriage, Gu Jiao suddenly felt a twinge in her chest.
She held her chest, furrowing her brow.
Empress Dowager Zhuang sensed sothing was off and asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”
Gu Jiao pointed to her chest: “It hurts.”
Empress Dowager Zhuang asked oddly, “You don’t have heart disease, so why would it hurt?”
Gu Jiao reflected for a mont, then her gaze sharpened: “It’s not , it’s Ayan.”
Gu Yan’s heart disease had flared up.
It happened without warning. The master was lecturing when suddenly a student yelled out. The master looked up just in ti to see Gu Yan collapsing on the floor.
Gu Xiaoshun imdiately rushed up to him, taking out the dicine from his pouch to administer it.
Gu Yan’s heart disease hadn’t had a severe attack for half a year. Occasionally, he would experience discomfort, but taking a pill would relieve it imdiately.
But this ti… it seed not to be working as well.
Gu Jiao hurried back to Bishui Alley.
The Yao Family matriarch had already fainted from crying.
Gu Xiaoshun was rushing out of the main hall: “Sister! Sister, you’re back! Gu Yan, he—”
Gu Jiao’s eyes narrowed: “Where is he?”
Gu Xiaoshun replied hastily: “In your room!”
Gu Jiao entered the east room.
Gu Yan’s condition was very bad; his heart had stopped again.
Everything seed to return to their first eting in the Villa, the situation was similar—he could be gone at any mont.
Gu Jiao took out adrenaline and saline from the first aid kit.
One injection, two injections, three injections…
After four shots, Gu Yan’s heartbeat finally started up again.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw Gu Jiao. A flicker of light seed to appear in his dull and dim eyes: “Sister.”
Early on, Xiao Jingkong had led him astray by calling her Jiaojiao, and now, only when he was weak to a certain extent would he revert to such behaviors.
Gu Jiao took off her gloves and touched his forehead: “I’m here.”
“Hold ,” he said.
Gu Jiao gently hugged him in her arms.
Breathing in her scent, Gu Yan closed his eyes in comfort, speaking weakly: “With you here, I’m not afraid. When it’s ti for to go, I want you to be with . I want you to send off.”
