106 The Story was Real (1/2)

Prince Lu Wei gritted his teeth to bear the pain as the physician unwrap the bandage around his stomach area. He watched the physician inspected the injury, and after a while, redressed the wound.

”Your Highness,” the physician bowed. ”The tear on your stomach healed faster than I thought. Physician Jiang has done a great job at stitching your wound. If you continue to rest and have your medicine, there is a chance that the wound will heal earlier.”

Prince Lu Wei continued to listen to the physician's advice before he sent the physician away after rewarding him with a few silvers. The Prince lowered his gaze to look at his stomach. He was thankful that he had met with Physician Jiang on the day the tiger attacked him. Or else, he might have died.

The Prince frowned as he recalled of the day the Physician had to disappear before his eyes.

The Prince sneered inwardly, knowing that his movements were monitored during his stay in the guest house. He had been staying in the guest house for almost a month and observed his surrounding. There are the guards sent by the Emperor everywhere to protect him.

He was not worried that someone from Da Cheng would find out that he has been exchanging letters with his men in Qian Rong. After all, the Emperor did know that he had a conflict with the Crown Prince of Qian Rong. What he was worried about is that the Crown Prince had sent his men to monitor him.

”Your Highness,” the servant bowed. ”Do you need anything?”
