When an unmarked carriage stopped by Han Zhenting's small infirmary, the old physician rushed out to greet his visitor . A woman in veiled entered the infirmary . Once they were away from others' eyes, Princess Lingchen lifted her veil and smiled at her grandfather . She quickly stepped forward when she saw that her grandfather was trying to bow .

"Grandfather," Princess Lingchen held her grandfather's arms, frowning . "What are you trying to do? There's no one else in this room . Let's forget formalities . " she turned to Mingyue who stood next to their grandpa and shot her a warning glance . "You too, Mingyue . "

Han Zhenting stood up straight with a gentle smile on his face . "I haven't seen you for a while . It looks like you have gotten prettier . "

Princess Lingchen lowered her gaze and smiled timidly . "Grandfather, stop teasing me . "

Advertisement"I'm not teasing you . " Han Zhenting turned to Mingyue . "Wasn't I telling her the truth?" When Mingyue replied him with a nod, Han Zhenting laughed happily . He looked at Lingchen and said, "Come with me . I know that Mingyue had given a thorough check up on you every day, but let grandfather take a look at you . "

Beside him, Mingyue feigned her dissatisfaction . "Grandfather, are you doubting my skills?"

Han Zhenting laughed and soon, both his granddaughters joined him . Han Zhenting took Princess Lingchen to sit down and started to examine her complexion and well-being . Then he observed her breathing pattern .

"You look good," Han Zhenting commented . "Did you have any discomfort anywhere? Any pain in your body? Did the poison in your body did acted up again?"

Lingchen shook her head . "I'm fine, grandfather . "

"Let me check your pulse . " Han Zhenting placed a small pillow on the table . The princess first removed the binding around her wrist .

A few years ago, they agreed to let Princess Lingchen put a binding around her wrist to avoid others from examining her pulse . It would be dangerous for her if others learned of the poison in her body .

When Lingchen placed her hand on the pillow, Han Zhenting placed three fingers on Lingchen's wrist to feel her pulse . First, he began with her right hand . Then, the left side .

Seeing her grandfather's calm expression, Princess Lingchen smiled . "I told you that I am well, grandfather . Mingyue was strict when she cared for me . I could not escape from any medication with Mingyue around . "

Han Zhenting's face turned dark at the Princess' words . "You dare to miss any medication . "

Princess Lingchen hurriedly held her grandfather's arm . "Grandfather, don't get angry . I was only joking . Of course, I would not dare to miss any medication . I would rather drink medicinal soup every day than being tortured by pain . You know very much how I fear pain . "

Han Zhenting stared at the Crown Princess for a while and sighed . He hated to see Lingchen in pain . He recalled the first time he diagnosed poison in her body . She was only seven . His heart bled every time this granddaughter put her brave face on even when she was in pain . If it were up to him, he would take this granddaughter away from the palace and let her live freely without having anyone trying to harm her life .

But what can he do about it? Even if he wanted to take her away, his granddaughter would not agree to it . Lingchen was not like any other girl . She is the Crown Princess of Da Cheng . Sooner, she will be the ruler of Da Cheng . Everything she experienced was part of her fate and destiny . As the princess' grandfather, he can only stay by her side and support her with her choice .

"Grandfather know . " Han Zhenting closed her eyes and forced a smile . "As long as my grandchildren are healthy and live well, this old man will be content . "

The grandfather and granddaughters chatted for a while before they heard a knock on the door . A second later, the door swung open and Jiang Xiao Tian stood at the door . Behind him was Yang Yun .

"Grandfather," Jiang Xiao Tian bowed to the older man . Then, he shifted his gaze to the princess . "Everything is all set . Are you ready to go?"

Princess Lingchen looked at her grandfather .

"Go . Go," Han Zhenting waved his hands . "It has been a while since you get to roam around the city . " He looked at both Jiang Xiao Tian and Yang Yun . "You two will protect my granddaughters well . If any of them were hurt, even with a tiny scratch, then both of you should be prepared for the consequences . "
