Han Zhenting entered the palace to visit his daughter, the Empress . Then, using this opportunity, he went to the Crown Princess' palace . When Han Zhenting arrived, his granddaughter was performing moxibustion to the princess . The room was hot as braziers were lit on to ensure the princess to keep warm .
Because Princess Lingchen was not appropriately dressed, the Empress accompanied her father to wait in the waiting hall . After a long time of waiting, Jiang Mingyue walked out with sweat on her face . She greeted both the Empress and her grandfather .
"How is Lingchen?" the Empress asked .
Mingyue bowed . "Answering to Her Majesty, the Crown Princess recovery process is going well . With more rest and treatment, she will be back to health before the Spring Hunt . "

The Empress' gaze softened as she looked at the girl in front of her . "Mingyue, thank you . "
Jiang Mingyue lifted her head with surprised . Her gaze met with the Empress' . "Your Majesty, it was my job as the Crown Princess' physician . "
The Empress shook her head, and the hair ornament dangling on her hair moved along . "It was your wedding yesterday, but instead of accompanying your husband, you choose to stay by Lingchen's side to nurse her back to health . For that, thank you . "
Mingyue had gotten married to the man he loved yesterday . But instead of spending their wedding night together, she had entered the palace in a hurry when she heard the news that the princess was unwell . As she thought of her husband, Mingyue's lips curved into a faint smile .
As a wife, as a newlywed, she was supposed to serve her husband . But Yang Yun had allowed her to enter the palace . Mingyue could not help but think of how lucky she was to find someone who understood her ambitions and priorities .
The three of them had a brief chat before the Empress retreated to accompany the Emperor for a lunch break . Mingyue then ushered her grandfather into the princess' room to discuss her health .
Imperial mother, grandfather," Princess Lingchen greeted weakly .
Han Zhenting sighed as his eyes laid on his granddaughter's pale face . He last saw Princess Lingchen last night at the wedding banquet . Because of his old age, he had returned to his infirmary earlier . However, this morning, a servant under the Empress' found him and escorted him to enter the palace . It was only then that he learned the poison in the princess' body had come back .
"How are you feeling?" Han Zhenting asked a few questions to the princess and checked her complexion . Then, he examined the princess' pulse .
The room turned quiet as Han Zhenting examined the princess' pulse . After a while, a deep frown appeared on the old man's face, but no one dared to make a sound for fear that they might disturb the physician .
"Father, what do you think?" the Empress asked when Han Zhenting retreated his hand . The Empress' expression was anxious .
Han Zhenting stared at the crown princess' face as he thought over the princess' pulse . Then, he turned around to the Empress and smiled reassuringly . "You don't have to worry so much . With Mingyue's treatment, the poison in Princess Lingchen's body was suppressed . After a week or two of continuous treatment, Her Highness will be nursed back to her health . "
The Empress heaved with relief . The family continued to chat a while longer before Han Zhenting decided to return to his infirmary .
Mingyue volunteered to sent her grandfather to the door . Once they almost reach the palace's entrance, Han Zhenting stopped on his track and turned to look at Mingyue . Once he was sure that their surrounding was safe, Han Zhenting opened his mouth to speak . "The princess' condition is worst than I thought . "
Mingyue had known that the princess' condition was not as good this time . Although she did not want to say it, she had a suspicion that the poison had spread and harmed the princess' body . It was the reason why she asked the Emperor to allow her grandfather to enter the palace to examine the princess' body and discussed the best treatment for her .
"It was the same like before . Something had triggered the poison in your body to react," Han Zhenting said with a hushed voice . "However, this time the stimulation used was stronger than the last time . If we're not careful, or the treatment was delayed, there's a possibility that the poison will attack Her Highness womb . "
Mingyue bit her lips . It seemed that her grandfather had diagnosed the same thing . Once the cold poison attacks the princess' womb, there are chances that the princess will be infertile . "Grandfather, what do you think we should do?"
