Across Time And Space

Around the afternoon, Jiang Mingyue exited the palace and headed towards her grandfather"s small infirmary . When she arrived, she could hear someone screamed in pain .

Mingyue found Han Zhenting in the small room, st.i.tching up a man"s stomach . Two of Han Zhenting"s a.s.sistant was holding the man, and another one stood beside him to a.s.sist him with the procedure .

It looked like the man had an accident that caused a deep injury on his stomach . A woman, probably the man"s family member stayed outside the room with worry on her face .

Mingyue stood at the corner of the room to observe her grandfather"s suturing techniques . She stayed close enough to see her grandfather"s movement, but far enough so that she will not be disturbing those at work .

Although her grandfather is getting older, he had good eyesight . His hand moved quickly and precisely .

After a while, Han Zhenting cut off the thread around the man"s stomach . He stood up and saw his granddaughter stood at the corner of the room . Han Zhenting smiled at her before he gave a few instructions to his a.s.sistants . Then, he went out to meet the man"s family member .

Han Zhenting talked to the woman and explained the man"s situation .

The woman nodded a few times . She thanked Han Zhenting before she walked in into the room to see her husband .

Han Zhenting watched the woman entered the room . Then he turned to Mingyue and said, "Come with me . "

Mingyue followed her grandfather inside his resting room . She watched Han Zhenting washed his hand with warm lemon water and dried his hand with a towel .

"I heard from your Yang Yun that you did not return to home last night . That boy was worried over you," Han Zhenting said . His voice was soft . He poured them some tea and sat down at the stool . "Did something happened to Her Highness?"

Mingyue nodded slowly .

Han Zhenting sighed . His forehead wrinkled as she looked at Mingyue with concern . "How is she now?"

"She"s getting better now," Jiang Mingyue said . She took a seat across her grandfather and bit her lips . "Grandfather, I have something to discuss with you . "

Hearing this, Han Zhenting raised a brow . "What is it?"

"It"s about Her Highness," Mingyue spoke in a whisper . Then, she started to describe the strange pulse . "Grandfather, what do you think about this?"

Han Zhenting thought about the strange pulse Mingyue had described to him . "If that is true, then it is possible that someone or something had triggered the poison in Lingchen"s body . " He looked at Mingyue and his frown deepened . "Have you talk to her about this?"

Mingyue shook her head . "I haven"t . I wasn"t sure with my diagnosis . I didn"t want to jump into conclusion . That"s why I came to look for you to discuss this matter first . "

"You should tell Lingchen about this matter . Let her be wary with the people around her . " Han Zhenting said . "I will ask your brother to a.s.sign people to look after her . "
