77 Something Triggered the Poison (1/2)
When Mingyue entered the Princess's palace, Ying Yi was by her side. Ying Yi was holding a towel. Ying Yi's expression was frantic as she soaked the towel into hot water and dried it before she dabbed the princess' body with the hot towel to keep the princess warm.
Xiao Ying Yi turned around when Mingyue stood by her side. Her eyes grew wide for a seconds before she sighed with relief.
”How's the princess's condition?”
Ying Yi moved her hands to report to Mingyue of her diagnosis and what she had done to treat the princess. Mingyue frowned when Ying Yi told her that the princess's pulse was abnormal. Mingyue sat beside the princess' bed and put her fingers on the princess' wrist. Her frown deepened when she could detect the same irregular pulse as the last time. However, from her examination, it seemed that the situation was worse than the last time.
”Ying Yi, go and prepare the needle. Ah Zhen, continue to keep the room warm,” Mingyue instructed. Then she checked on Lingchen's condition thoroughly. Mingyue popped a pill into the princess's mouth and started the acupuncture process. After a while, Mingyue removed the needle and placed her fingers on the princess' wrist again. It doesn't seem like the princess' was getting better.
Mingyue placed another pill into the princess' mouth and asked both Ying Yi and Ah Zhen to keep her warm. After half an hour, the princess' breathing stabilized. Mingyue rechecked her pulse and sighed in relief when the princess' condition turned better. The princess' breathing has stabilized.
”Physician Jiang, is Her Highness, alright?” Ah Zhen asked.
”She will be,” Mingyue said.
Mingyue removed her hand from the princess' wrist and pulled up the blanket to keep her warm. Suddenly, she felt someone grabbed her wrist. Mingyue looked up and saw that the princess was looking at her with tired eyes. ”Your Highness, you're awake! How are you feeling?”
Princess Lingchen licked her lips before she spoke, ”I'm sorry.”
Mingyue's gaze softened. She patted the princess' hands and shook her head. ”It's fine. You should rest and recover well.” Mingyue watched as Princess Lingchen nodded weakly before she closed her eyes to rest. Then, Mingyue turned to Ah Zhen and asked, ”Were you by Her Highness' side when today?” Mingyue saw Ah Zhen nodded and continued to ask, ”What happened?”
