79 It Was Worst Than He Though (2/2)

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?”
