Once they returned to the inn, Chief Ye dragged her grandson into a quiet room and questioned his knowledge on the poison in the Crown Princess' body .
Under his grandmother's watchful eyes, Prince Lu Wei had no choice but to tell her what he knows . Once the old lady stared at him with her piercing gaze, Prince Lu Wei found that he could not discard anything from his story . In the end, he told his grandmother everything, starting from the moment they encountered the solar eclipse .
Chief Ye finally understood why she had sensed that the young man she met in the stable a few days ago had touched the Shadow Gra.s.s and was almost pulled into the other side . It was regretful that the physician who had saved his grandson's life did not share the same fate as the young man . The physician was pulled into the other world .

The old lady looked at her grandson with a scrutinizing gaze . There was a hint of amazement in her eyes . "I'm surprised that you can detect the poison in her body . "
Advertis.e.m.e.ntA faint smile curved on the Prince's lips .
"You are right . The concoction mixed with Shadow Gra.s.s was not the only thing to kill that poisonous bug . However, the Princess will need to take the concoction for half a year before the bug died . While taking the concoction, the poisonous bug in her body should not be disturb or else, the poison will return, and it will grow stronger each time . However, there is another method to cure the poison once and for all . Can you tell me what is that method?"
Prince Lu Wei spoke to his grandmother about the other method . Once he finished, he looked at his grandmother, anxiously . He felt as if he was in a test, and a wrong answer could get him a few beating from his grandmother . "Is the method wrong?"
"It is right," Chief Ye said . She caressed her chin as if she had grown a beard . "Your mother has taught you well . "
Prince Lu Wei smiled at his grandmother's words . Ever since he could understand things, his late mother would teach him about medicine and a few other things when they were alone .
"You didn't tell the Princess about the other method?" Chief Ye asked .
"My mother warned not to expose of the existence of the clan for as long as I live," Prince Lu Wei said . "If I were to treat the Princess with that method, the others would be scared . They will not agree to let me get close to her . They might also find out that the clan still exists . I cannot help to cure the poison before the others, and the Princess did not agree to dismiss the other to receive the treatment . "
Chief Ye heaved a long sigh as she heard his grandson's reasoning .
Prince Lu Wei hesitated before he told his grandmother about the condition he had proposed to the Princess and the Princess' marriage proposal to solve the problem . Once he finished, Chief Ye laughed as she stomped her walking staff on the floor . Prince Lu Wei immediately stopped his grandmother as he was afraid that the old lady might cause the inn to collapse .
"The Crown Princess of Da Cheng is indeed an interesting person," Chief Ye commented . She closed her eyes as she was deep in her thought . When she opened her eyes again, she turned to look at her grandson and raised a brow . "Why don't you agree to marry the Princess?"
"Grandmother," Prince Lu Wei said weakly .
Chief Ye held the staff in her hand tightly . "What? I don't think it's a bad deal . It is a win-win situation . You can get your freedom, and the Princess will be free of the poison . "
Prince Lu Wei heaved a sigh . "Marriage is not something to be taken lightly . "
Chief Ye laughed at her grandson's respond . "I didn't think you're such a romantic person . "
"It has nothing to do about being a romantic person or not . "
"I thought you had spent your life long enough in the palace to know that marriage between royalties is usually a business transaction . "
"I don't want to live a restricted life in the palace," Prince Lu Wei answered . "I have lived all my life under my late father and my brothers in the palace . It's not a good way to live life . "
Chief Ye continued to stare at him . After a long silence, she spoke again . "So that's why you wanted to return to the clan with me . But are you sure this is what you want? Coming back with the clan, you will be forced to live in seclusion . "
Prince Lu Wei could only watch his grandmother silently . He had thought over the matter for days after the Crown Princess proposed a marriage . In the end, he decided that living in seclusion is better than living in a palace life where his movement was constantly watched over and restricted .
"Wei Wei," Chief Ye called .
"What is it?" Prince Lu Wei snapped out of his thought .
"We're departing in two days, correct?" Chief Ye watched his grandson nodded and continued, "I'd like to meet the Princess again before we return to Sui Country . "
