While Princess Lingchen and Chief Ye stayed in the treatment room, the others gathered outside as they wait for the result. After a few minutes of waiting, the Princess' maidservant, Ah Zhen, entered the room with a tray of refreshment. Ying Yi walked behind her, carrying a few snacks.

After a while, Jiang Xiao Tian went towards Han Zhenting and coaxed the elderly to rest in his room. It will take a while before the treatment ended. Han Zhenting only agreed after Jiang Xiao Tian promised that he would come and wake him as soon as the door opened.

One of Han Zhenting's assistant walked in and whispered something to Jiang Xiao Tian, and soon, Jiang Xiao Tian stepped outside. His older brother, Jiang Xiao Xian, was waiting for him outside. There were two soldiers beside him.

When Jiang Xiao Xian saw his brother, he immediately asked the two soldiers to stepped away. "How is everything?" Jiang Xiao Xian asked.

"The Princess is still in the treatment room," Xiao Tian answered.

The young general nodded. "I have prepared everything I could. The others have been notified. If anything goes wrong with the Princess,.."

Jiang Xiao Tian understood although his brother did not finish his words. The Crown Princess was not the only one who was making a gamble. If something went wrong with the Princess, the Jiang family would definitely be labeled as a traitor. And traitors can only face death. Therefore, Jiang Xiao Xian and their father has been preparing a few escape plans for the other family members to live.

If it were up to the Jiang's family, they would not allow the Princess to go. However, Jiang Xiao Tian now served the Crown Princess side. The Princess was stubborn to go, and he had no other choice but to stay by her side and hope that Chief Ye will be able to treat her.

"I have stationed a few of my men around this infirmary. If something went wrong, they will act first and capture the Prince and his grandmother," Jiang Xiao Tian said.

The young general nodded. The two siblings had a brief conversation before Jiang Xiao Xian excused himself to take care of a few things. When Jiang Xiao Tian entered the room, Prince Lu Wei was still guarding the door, while Ah Zhen and Ying Yi sat waiting for the door to open.

Jiang Xiao Tian nodded towards the two guards at the door and sauntered towards the Prince.

"Commander Jiang," Prince Lu Wei greeted politely. However, his body was stiff as he was on guard. "You know that you cannot enter the room until the treatment finished," he reminded.

"I know," Jiang Xiao Tian nodded. "I just wanted to have a conversation with you as we waited for time to pass."

Prince Lu Wei's body relaxed a bit. "What do you want to talk about?"

"Your Highness," Jiang Xiao Tian's voice was low. "You and Chief Ye are from the Nanlin Tribe."


The Prince stared at Jiang Xiao Tian. "Is that a question or a statement?"

"I have been looking for ways to treat the Crown Princess' poison for years. Naturally, I have done some investigation on the lost tribe," Jiang Xiao Tian said. "The last information we had was that a descendant of the tribe was residing in Qian Rong. However, when my men tried to find this descendant, the villagers said that she had gone missing after one night. This descendant was your mother, and the night she went missing from the village, and she was taken in into the palace."

Prince Lu Wei chuckled. "Commander Jiang, you have quite an imagination."

"Do I?"

The smile on the Prince face disappeared, and he continued to look at Jiang Xiao Tian, waiting for him to continue what he wanted to say.

"Before this, all I have was my suspicions," Jiang Xiao Tian said. "But, a few nights ago, I saw the pendant that Chief Ye wore around her neck." He saw the Prince's expression changed and knew that he might guess the right thing. "On that pendant was the famous bamboo insignia. A symbol that the Chief of Nanlin Tribe carry around until the position was given to someone else."

In the treatment room...

Princess Lingchen opened her eyes slowly as she regained consciousness. She studied the room and immediately jolted upon finding that she was not in her room.

"Don't move."

The Princess turned around towards the voice. Her gaze softened as she saw the old lady beside her. It was then that she remembered that she was in the middle of a treatment. However, a frown slowly appeared when she recalled that she was drugged. "You…"

"The process to extract the poisonous bug would be too painful for you to bear," Chief Ye said. "I have no other choice but to make you unconscious."

A flash flickered in the Princess' eyes when she heard the Chief's words. "Is everything alright? Did you get the poisonous bug out?" The Crown Princess paused as she recalled seeing an ugly looking insect on the Chief's hand before she passed out.

Chief Ye turned around to take something from the table. Then, she walked towards the Princess, carrying a jar of transparent glass. Inside the glass was a few red, odd-looking bugs. However, they were not the same as the one the Princess had seen before she passed out.

"There were five of them," Chief Ye said. "One mother and its children. I'm guessing that someone planted the mother inside you years ago, and it has laid a few eggs inside of you."

Princess Lingchen's paled upon hearing that.

"But don't worry," Chief Ye said. "I have destroyed the eggs. I would concoct a medicine just in case if we missed anything."

The Princess breath a sigh of relief. Only then did she felt something on her back. She tried to turn around but felt uncomfortable only then that she realized that she was lying on her stomach and her upper body was naked.

Chief Ye laughed upon seeing the Princess' change of expression. Then, she walked towards the Princess to removed a few cups made of bamboo and wiped her upper body. "Don't worry. This is only to remove some bad blood in your body."
