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 a.s.sistant 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 pa.s.s . "

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 pa.s.sed out .

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