83 Spring Hunt 1 (2/2)

Jiang Mingyue took out the pills that her grandfather had prepared and handed one to the Princess. Mingyue gaze immediately softened as she watched the princess swallowed the medicine. As the physician who stayed by the princess' side, she had seen how the princess had to bear the pain with each treatment. ”You're doing well. It seemed that grandfather's new prescription is effective,” Mingyue commented after a while.

Princess Lingchen smiled weakly. The new prescription might be potent, but the poison in her body stayed. Unless if they found the missing ingredients, it seemed that she had to be careful all the time or suffer from the pain.

”Are you tired, Your Highness?” Mingyue asked.

The Crown Princess shook her head. ”I've been sitting in the carriage doing nothing but sleep; how can I be tired?”

”I'll ask Ah Zhen to serve the meal now. Then, you should go and rest earlier. Tomorrow, you still have to join the Spring Hunt.” Mingyue watched the Princess nodded and turned to find the princess' maidservant, Ah Zhen.

”Mingyue.”

Mingyue paused and turned around. ”Hmm?”

”You don't have to stay with me tonight,” Princess Lingchen said. ”Ying Yi can stay by my side. You should find your husband. It has been a while since you last saw him, right?”

”Your Highness, you don't have to worry about this,” Mingyue said. ”Your health is my primary concern.”

”I know,” the Princess smiled. ”But there's not much for you to do anyway since I will be resting early.” Princess Lingchen took Mingyue's hand in hers and continued, ”Just go and see him for a while. It will be bad for me if your husband holds a grudge against me.”

Mingyue chuckled at the princess' teasing. After a few seconds passed, Mingyue nodded. ”Alright.”
