Chapter 438 Beating Up Prince Ning (Sixth Update)

Is Prince Ning skilled in martial arts?

It was naturally extremely high, but Prince Ning was completely unprepared and never expected Gu Jiao to pull such a stunt.

The Prince of Ning received anti-assassination training focused on defending against knives, swords, and hidden weapons. Who the hell would defend against a sack of potatoes?

Even the most normal person wouldn't do something like putting a sack over a prince's head!

Having overheard Ning Wang's martial arts near the artificial hill, Gu Jiao had already experienced its unfathomable depth. She had never fought Ning Wang, so she couldn't say who was better. She was confident but not arrogant.

Besides, this isn't a competition of sportsmanship; there's no need to talk about martial ethics.

Just do it!

The instant Gu Jiao put the man into the sack, she swiftly pulled out the anesthetic needle hidden in her sleeve and plunged it into his body through the sack.

This anesthetic was developed by the research institute specifically for emergency surgery. It takes effect very quickly, requiring no intravenous drip, and can be administered via intramuscular injection. It can cause a person to lose consciousness instantly. The downside is that the effect is short-lived.

But that was enough for Gu Jiao to drag the person away.

"Turn left. The prince said to wait for someone in that alley over there," Gu Jiao instructed the coachman.

The coachman, unaware that his master had been put in a sack, assumed it was truly his master's order and obediently drove the carriage into a nearby alley.

The moment the carriage stopped, Gu Jiao delivered a swift chop to knock the coachman unconscious.

She then dragged the sacks off the carriage.

As the effects of the anesthetic wore off, Prince Ning began to regain consciousness and the ability to feel pain. However, it would probably not be so easy for him to lay a hand on Gu Jiao.

Before he could react, Gu Jiao grabbed the sack and slammed it on the ground with a loud bang!

Prince Ning's vision went black, and he felt a sudden earthquake, a collapse of the sky and a tsunami, and his buttocks were throbbing with pain!

Prince Ning attempted to make a move, but before he could gather his energy in his dantian, the sack was once again lifted high and slammed down.

Gu Jiao grabbed the sack and started smashing it wildly!

The Prince of Ning's brains were almost smashed to pieces!

This is what it means to suffer an undeserved disaster!

Injuries and pain during a fight are not terrible; what is terrible is being used as a punching bag.

This is so damn hurtful to my self-esteem!

This is different from beating the Crown Princess, after all, the two incidents are different in nature. The former was a scare tactic, while the latter was murder.

Gu Jiao was beating him mercilessly, but Prince Ning, being skilled in martial arts, could withstand the beating, which made Gu Jiao beat him even more enthusiastically.

Just as Gu Jiao was getting into the swing of things, a dark shadow suddenly descended from the sky. Gu Jiao looked closely and realized that it was actually the Emperor's Dragon Shadow Guard!

The Dragon Shadow Guard glanced at the sack on the ground, then at Gu Jiao in front of him. After a moment's hesitation, he made his decision and attacked Gu Jiao.

Hiss!

Gu Jiao has a toothache.

It goes without saying that the Dragon Shadow Guard was assigned to Prince Ning by the Emperor. Gu Jiao had fought with the Dragon Shadow Guard before, but after the Emperor recalled the Dragon Shadow Guard, he no longer harbored any hostility towards Gu Jiao.

He hesitated for a moment, probably prioritizing his tasks. Gu Jiao wasn't an enemy, but the emperor had ordered the Dragon Shadow Guard to protect Prince Ning.

Naturally, the order prevailed, and the Dragon Shadow Guards launched an attack on Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao immediately backed down, threw the sack at him, and ran away, chirping away!

Afterwards, Gu Jiao reflected on it and felt that she hadn't performed well enough. She should have punched him a couple of times before throwing him, and thrown him more forcefully, instead of being so cowardly.

Gu Jiao put Ning Wang in a sack right in front of him. It wasn't because she was impulsive, but because since he had already set his sights on her husband, there was no need for them to continue pretending that everything was fine.

Another reason is that Prince Ning is so popular in the capital, how many people would want to harm him and have the ability to do so?

If she doesn't show her face, Yuan Tang will be the first person suspected.

She is a good person.

She wouldn't drag her new followers... uh, no, new friends down with her for no reason.

Gu Jiao was lost in thought when she suddenly realized she had wandered onto Zhuque Street.

Well... to be honest, I can't blame her. Suzaku Avenue is one of the streets closest to the palace. Just a few steps from that alleyway will take you to Suzaku Avenue.

However, she was quite puzzled when she found herself in front of Princess Xinyang's residence.

Gu Jiao looked up at the half-closed courtyard gate. Between returning the way she came and being caught and beaten by the emperor's Dragon Shadow Guards, and going inside to avoid trouble and have afternoon tea, she chose the latter.

She stood on the steps by the door and unconsciously flexed her right heel.

As a result, I got a calf cramp...

Princess Xinyang was about to leave when Yu Jin opened the courtyard gate and saw Gu Jiao bent over, her face scrunched up from convulsions.

Yu Jin was taken aback: "Dr. Gu?"

Gu Jiao stood up nonchalantly, but the cramps worsened the next second, and her expression instantly turned uncontrollable. Calf cramps are absolutely unbearable...

Princess Xinyang glanced at her indifferently and said, "What? Did you get into a fight? Did you break your leg?"

Gu Jiao: "...No."

"Oh," Princess Xinyang said casually, "So you were beaten up and your leg was crippled?"

Gu Jiao: "..."

These words are not very hurtful, but extremely insulting.

Princess Xinyang raised an eyebrow slightly: "They couldn't have run away without even fighting, and ended up crippling themselves in the process."

Gu Jiao: ...She clearly hit me!

"Heh." Princess Xinyang turned around and went back to her room.

Yu Jin turned around and stared blankly at Princess Xinyang. Did this mean... she wasn't going out?

Yu Jin smiled and said to Gu Jiao, "Doctor Gu, please come inside with me."

Gu Jiao suffered a severe cramp in her right calf, so much so that she could only hobble into the house step by step, which was quite pitiful.

Princess Xinyang liked to sit by the window, where the light was good, the air was fresh, and she could smell the fragrance of the whole courtyard.

Yu Jin led Gu Jiao to sit down on the chair opposite Princess Xinyang, squatted down, and pinched Gu Jiao's right calf: "Does it hurt here? Let me see."

"No need, I just had a cramp, not an injury, it'll be fine in a bit." Gu Jiao seriously suspected that she was growing too fast and was calcium deficient.

She had never experienced cramps like this in her previous life. After all, she was in an organization where every agent had a professional nutritionist, so there was no chance of a lack of trace elements.

"Let me massage it for you, and it won't hurt so much," Yu Jin said gently.

"Then thank you very much, Lord Yujin." She remembered that was how the Crown Princess addressed her.

"If you don't mind, you can call me Aunt Yujin," Yujin said with a smile.

Yu Jin moved a small stool over, placed Gu Jiao's legs on her own lap, and began to gently massage Gu Jiao's legs.

Having served Princess Xinyang, who was seriously ill, her technique was truly excellent; Gu Jiao almost fell asleep from her caresses.

Yu Jin said gently, "Doctor Gu is only fifteen this year, isn't he? He is truly a young man of great talent. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a doctor in the capital with better medical skills than you."

Gu Jiao nodded seriously: "I think so too."

Princess Xinyang, who was bored and decided to practice her calligraphy: "..."

This girl, can't she have any shame?

Princess Xinyang calmed herself down for a while and then continued practicing calligraphy.

Gu Jiao glanced at her and said, "My husband always makes me practice calligraphy; it's obvious he learned it from you."
