The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 629: A Red Envelope First

The Empress, delighted, said, "Then I shall have someone arrange it, how about the surgery tomorrow?"

Yun Jiao smiled, "How about I first check on the elderly lady. If her health allows, we can proceed with the surgery tomorrow."

The Empress turned to her personal nanny and said, "Accompany Doctor Gu for a visit to the Prince Le Ping Mansion."

"Remember, do not let anyone treat Doctor Gu with disrespect."

Nanny Wang nodded, "I understand, Your Majesty."

Yun Jiao only then realized that the Empress’s family was actually the Prince Le Ping Mansion.

She had just been calling the elderly lady repeatedly, unintentionally lowering her status, but fortunately, the Empress had not minded one bit, behaving as if she hadn’t heard.

Just as Saburo said, benevolent and wise.

She rose and paid her respects, then left the palace together with Nanny Wang.

Two carriages entered the Prince Le Ping Mansion, one after the other.

After being announced, Yun Jiao and Nanny Wang were led to the Songzhu Hall behind the main courtyard.

Upon entering, they saw an elderly lady reclining on the Arhat Couch at the head of the room. Her hair was completely white, and due to the heat, she was dressed in light gauze clothing, making the wrinkled skin on her arms clearly visible.

Yun Jiao paid her respects, and the elderly lady gestured her over.

The maids smiled and said, "The Lady cannot see now, she wishes to touch you."

Yun Jiao obediently approached for her to feel, thinking it would simply make the old lady happy.

The elderly lady felt her face and then laughed, "A high nose bridge and an oval face, you must be a pretty girl, and your skin is so tight, unlike mine, all saggy."

Yun Jiao smiled, made small talk with the old lady, and spoke about the preparations needed before surgery. Afterward, she began to check her pulse while asking about her diet and sleep patterns.

The Princess Consort was also seventy years old, had some rheumatism, and her heart wasn’t in great condition, all common ailments in the elderly, but nothing seriously wrong otherwise.

She smiled and said, "The Princess Consort’s health is quite good; there should be no problem performing a minor surgery."

The elderly lady was a bit excited, "Will I be able to see right after the surgery?"

It goes without saying how much the blind long for light.

Yun Jiao nodded, "Yes."

The elderly lady waved her hand, "Just as Doctor Gu said, prepare the room and bed quickly, I want surgery tomorrow, I can’t wait any longer!"

Yun Jiao chatted a bit more, then stood to take her leave, but the elderly lady held her to sit a while longer as a maid quickly brought over a box.

The maid opened the box in front of Yun Jiao, revealing a pair of smooth, white mutton-fat jade bracelets which, to Yun Jiao’s eye, appeared to be top-quality mutton-fat jade, as creamy as mutton fat itself.

The elderly lady smiled, "These were worn by me when I was young. Now I’ve grown old, with saggy skin, wearing them doesn’t look good anymore, it’s better for young girls like you to wear them."

Yun Jiao thanked the elderly lady, feeling a touch of admiration for the old woman’s wisdom, akin to giving a red envelope to a modern doctor before surgery, ensuring the doctor would perform the surgery with extra care and even stitch more neatly.

Taking the box, Yun Jiao made a round at the workshop before returning to the mansion.

Upon returning, Yun Jiao locked herself in her room, went into the medicine storage, and began preparing sterilizing solutions.

Then she emerged, handing several cloth strips and surgical instruments to the maids to boil for sterilization.

Early the next morning, Yun Jiao was picked up by the sedan chair from the Prince Manor.

This time she was first invited to the main hall of the manor, and upon entering, she was stunned to find several men in official robes sitting there.
