269 Brought in a Famous Physician (1/2)
Earlier next morning, Jiang Mingyue followed her brother to enter the palace. Because of Jiang Xiao Tian's position by the Crown Princess side, the guard did not ask too much question when he brought someone else to enter the palace.
Once they walked past the gate, Mingyue adjusted the cloak that covered from her head to toe where Jiang Xiao Tian successfully sneaked in his sister to the Crown Princess palace.
Mingyue marveled at the festivity decoration in the palace. The Crown Princess' wedding will be held in a few days, and the servants walked back and forth to set up everything before the big day. Because the Princess will be marrying the young Emperor of Qian Rong, everything will need to be perfect.
A maidservant greeted both Jiang Xiao Tian once he arrived. She glanced at the person beside Jiang Xiao Tian and frowned. Because of Jiang Xiao Tian's status, none of the guards or maidservants dared to ask anything.
Princess Lingchen stepped into the hall after five minutes with Ah Zhen trailing after her. Immediately, Jiang Xiao Tian stepped forward and properly greeted the Princess. Mingyue then followed her brother's action.
Seeing that Jiang Xiao Tian came with a guest, Princess Lingchen did not say anything when he gave her a proper salute.
”You can be at ease,” Princess Lingchen said. Her lips curved into a diplomatic smile as she gave a questioning gaze to Jiang Xiao Tian. ”You brought along a guest?”
”Yes, Your Highness,” Jiang Xiao Tian said. ”Since you're getting married in a few days, I brought in a famous physician to read your pulse and check on your health.”
”Famous? How famous?” Princess Lingchen sneered before narrowed her eyes at Jiang Xiao Tian. ”Jiang Xiao Tian, do you think that this palace no longer had a good physician? Is this person more capable than my grandfather, Han Zhenting.”
Jiang Xiao Tian smiled. ”This person, even the famous Physician Han Zhenting, had admitted that her skill is better than his. Moreover, she used to be a student under our grandfather.”
Princess Lingchen shot a surprised look. Her brow furrowed as she glanced at the person. ”You are now in the Crown Princess' palace. Not showing your face when this Crown Princess stood before you, don't you think you're quite daring?
Mingyue put her hands on the cloak that was covering her head and hesitated. With a big smile on her face, Mingyue removed her covering and said, ”Your Highness, you don't think your former physician is qualified to check on your pulse?”
Her eyes widened as she looked at the familiar face. Just like everyone else, she was in disbelief to see Mingyue before her eyes.
This was the person who had disappeared because of her.
For the last six years, Princess Lingchen had blamed herself. It was because Mingyue wanted to cure the poison in her body that Mingyue had dug out the Shadow Grass and disappeared.
Princess Lingchen could not react for the first few minutes. Once she finally snapped out of her trance, Princess Lingchen rushed towards Mingyue and hugged her tightly. Once the Crown Princess could feel Mingyue's warm body, her tears flowed down nonstop.
”Mingyue, you're back,” Princess Lingchen spoke incoherently. She had forgotten how she, as the princess of the country, should always maintain and conceal her emotion.
”I'm back,” Mingyue wrapped her arms around the Princess' as she patted her on her back.
Seeing the way the cousin in each other embrace, Jiang Xiao Tian tacitly retreated. Before he left, he signaled Ah Zhen to send away the servants.
