If only there were no rules that forbid her from running in the palace, Jiang Mingyue would had reached the princess quarters earlier . But because of such rules, Mingyue could only walk at a slower pace, while her heart beat furiously . Her hand clenched into a fist as she was worried over the Crown Princess' condition .

A moment ago, one of the Crown Princess' maidservant visited her at her green room and announced that Her Highness invited her over to her palace to have some tea . Mingyue knew the code . The Crown Princess would ask her to have some tea, whenever the poison appeared .

When Mingyue arrived at the Crown Princess' palace, there were a few guards stationed outside . A maidservant opened the door and ushered her in . Mingyue headed to the Princess' chamber room quickly .

Seeing a few heating stoves were lit up, Mingyue knew that her guess was right . She looked around the room and saw Ah Zhen heading towards her .

"Physician Jiang," Ah Zhen bent her knees and lowered her gaze to greet Mingyue .

Mingyue could see the sweat on Ah Zhen's forehead . She made her way to the Princess' bed and spoke to Ah Zhen . "How did this happened?"

Ah Zhen shook her head . She didn't know precisely how the Princess' illness flared up . "The Crown Princess had a long meeting with His Majesty today . Once Her Highness entered the room, she sent a few maidservants to invite you for tea . Then, she fainted . I have no choice but to drag the Princess to bed . "

Mingyue frowned as she sat at a stool next to the Princess' bed .

"The weather outside is getting colder," Ah Zhen said . "Do you think this is why the Princess' illness relapsed?"

"Go boil some hot water and bring them here," Mingyue said to Ah Zhen . First, she checked the Princess' pale complexion . She noticed that the Princess was breathing with difficulties .

Then, she placed her two fingers on the Princess's wrist . She almost flinched when she felt her cold skin on her fingertips . Mingyue closed her eyes to study her pulse . After a few minutes, she looked at the Princess' face with a complicated gaze .

Swiftly, Mingyue took out a small pouch from her knapsack . She pulled out a few acupuncture needles and placed them at a few places on the Princess' body .

If only Ying Yi were around, she would know what to do and help her .

After a while, the princess' breathing calmed down . Only then did Mingyue took out a pill and force feed it to the Princess .

It was fortunate that Mingyue and her grandfather had created a pill for the princess . If she had to boil medicine every time the Princess' illness returned, sooner or later, others might found out something . After all, it would be hard to discard the dregs .

When Ah Zhen returned with a pail of hot water, Mingyue instructed her to wet a towel with the hot water and dabbed the Princess' body with a warm towel to keep her hot .

After a few hours of tending the Princess, her body temperature was no longer as cold .

Jiang Mingyue placed her fingers on the princess' wrist to take her pulse . She heaved in relief when she found out that her pulse had returned normal .
