"Grandmother, you are really planning to help the Crown Princess?" Prince Lu Wei asked for the umpteen time . In the end, he received a piercing glare from his grandmother, and the Prince decided to stop repeating the question .

"What is it? You don't want to help the Crown Princess with that poison?" Chief Ye asked .

Prince Lu Wei lowered his head and sighed . "It's not that . But grandmother, I thought you hated the imperial family . "

Chief Ye scoffed . "The only imperial families I did not like was that Sui Countries . "

Back then, the Sui Country's emperor had deployed their army to wipe out their whole clan . When the conflict with their tribe and Sui Country happened, Chief Ye was younger .

Back then, Chief Ye's mother was the Chief of their tribe . She sent away a few youngsters away from their village, and a few others fought to protect their clan . In the end, her mother died . The remaining member of the tribe had been living in the mountain in seclusion . The Sui Country had thought that they had destroyed everyone in the clan . However, they were wrong .

A few years after Chief Ye was in power, the clan began to send away the younger generation to start their new life in other places . That way, their tribe will continue to grow, and their knowledge and skill will never be forgotten .

"Then what about my late father?"

"That old fox tricked your mother into marrying him! As a mother who doted on her daughter, how could I not hate your father?" Chief Ye gritted her teeth as she thought of the late emperor of Qian Rong .

Not only did the late Emperor of Qian Rong had deceived her daughter into marrying him, but he had also forced her daughter to live life in the difficult palace life . Chief Ye had always worried about her daughter's well being . Thankfully, the late emperor treated her daughter well and was favored until she died . Or else, Chief Ye was ready to kill the emperor with her own hand .

"The point is I do not dislike someone blindly without reasons," Chief Ye said .

Prince Lu Wei laughed at his grandmother answer . The two of them waited for while longer and soon, the Crown Princess showed up with Jiang Xiao Tian beside her .

"Your Highness," both Prince Lu Wei and his grandmother greeted .

Princess Lingchen led them towards the table before she took a seat at one of the empty spots with Jiang Xiao Tian stood beside her . Not long after, a servant walked in with a tray of refreshment . The Princess poured herself a cup of tea and drank to moisten her throat . She placed the teacup on the table and looked at the two people before her . "I heard you wanted to see me? Is there something I can do to help?"

Prince Lu Wei turned to his grandmother .

"Your Highness," Chief Ye spoke up . "Pardon my impertinence, but do you mind letting this old lady to check your pulse?"

The Crown Princess turned to look at Prince Lu Wei, knowing that the Prince might have said something to his grandmother about her body condition . She glanced at Jiang Xiao Tian and hesitated . As the Crown Princess of Da Cheng, it was impossible to let someone other than her personal physician check on her pulse .

However, Princess Lingchen noticed the look from Prince Lu Wei . He was encouraging her to let his grandmother check her pulse . After a minute of hesitation, the Crown Princess decided to trust Prince Lu Wei again and agreed . Then, she held out her hand to let the old lady examine her pulse .

After going under treatment from her grandfather and Xiao Ying Yi for months, the Crown Princess no longer wore a binding around her wrist . After all, according to her grandfather, it would be hard for others to detect the poison in her body unless if they had in-depth medical knowledge . However, since Prince Lu Wei could detect the poison which most of the physician could not, Princess Lingchen guessed that Chief Ye was probably knowledgeable in medicine as well .

Actually, Jiang Xiao Tian had long suspected that Prince Lu Wei knew something about Nanlin Tribe for a while . However, when he met Chief Ye and the other member of their clan, Jiang Xiao Tian began to suspect that Prince Lu Wei himself was one of the members of Nanlin Tribe . When he started to put his thought into that direction, everything seemed to make sense .

Back then, he had heard that a surviving member of Nanlin Tribe had stayed in Qian Rong . But when he sent out his people to find out about that person, he could not find any information at all . It was as if the person had vanished, and the villagers did not know anything about that person . If that person turned to be Prince Lu Wei's mother, then, it is possible that her record in the village was wiped out once she was brought in into the palace as the emperor's concubine .

Since then, Jiang Xiao Tian had a.s.signed his men to observe Chief Ye and her people . But after a few days, none of them could find anything suspicious about Chief Ye and her clan .

Once Chief Ye had finished examining her pulse, Princess Lingchen pulled her hand and adjusted her sleeves . "Chief Ye, you know something about medicine?"

Chief Ye nodded .

"Then, what do you think of my condition?" Princess Lingchen asked .
