Inside Princess Lingchen's palace, Prince Lu Wei sat at the receiving hall with a few guards stood around him . The guards gaze on the Prince was intimidating . Every move the Prince made was observed closely by them .

Prince Lu Wei sighed silently as he thought of how he got into the situation . Back then, he wanted to seek the Princess' help in exchange for a few information about the Shadow Grass .

After a while, he noticed the discomfort on the Crown Princess' expression . He wanted to help her . However, once his fingers accidentally pressed against Princess Lingchen's wrist, he noticed the abnormalities . Prince Lu Wei did not think that he had made the right guess .

However, this new knowledge has thrown him into a situation where he was held as a hostage in the Princess Palace . Right now, Prince Lu Wei could only sit calmly while he waited for his fate .

As Prince Lu Wei waited at the receiving hall, he watched all maidservants retreated from the Princess' side . Soon, a girl dressed as a physician walked in . Without giving him any look, the girl rushed into the Princess' room .

Prince Lu Wei waited for almost two hours before Princess Lingchen came out with her maidservant and physician beside her . The two girls helped the Princess to an empty seat across the Prince . When the Princess waved her hand, the two girls immediately took a few steps back and stood behind the Princess . The guards stayed in the room as well while keeping their distance .

For a while, the room was too quiet as both of them choose to remain in silence .

Princess Lingchen took a few deep breaths to calm down . When Prince Lu Wei discovered her illness, Princess Lingchen wanted to deny it . However, at that moment, the pain was too unbearable that she almost passed out . She had no other choice but to drag the Prince to her palace .

"Prince Lu Wei," the Crown Princess broke the silence . "I hope that whatever you witnessed today will not spread to anyone or else I could not guarantee your life . "

Prince Lu Wei felt the corner of his mouth twitched . Did the Princess just threaten him?

"You don't have to worry, Princess Lingchen," Prince Lu Wei said . "I don't see any benefit to spread around your condition . "

"Really? Princess Lingchen lifted her gaze and studied the man's expression . "You don't think that you could benefit from this? With this information, you could gain power and wealth . "

Prince Lu Wei smiled . "I valued my life more than power and wealth . Besides, once I spread this news, the Emperor will not let me go . "

"If this information gets to the right hand, the Emperor will not be able to act recklessly against you," Princess Lingchen pointed out .

Prince Lu Wei could only stare at the Princess with disbelief . He let out a chuckle and said, "Princess Lingchen, it couldn't be that you're encouraging me to spread around the news? Or were you just looking out for a reason to end my life?"

"Prince Lu Wei, don't overthink . I'm just pointing out the fact since you said that you could not benefit from my situation," Princess Lingchen gave him a smile that did not reach her eyes . "Let's not be hypocritical here . "

"Good . "

"What do you want in exchange for keeping this matter a secret?"

Prince Lu Wei did not expect the Princess to be so blunt . He thought over the Princess question earnestly .

Earlier, Prince Lu Wei wanted to seek after the Princess . Information regarding her physician's disappearance in exchange for his safety . However, he now held another valuable card in his hand .

"Da Cheng's protection in exchange for this secret," Prince Lu Wei said .

"Don't you already have our protection now as you are recuperating in Da Cheng?"

"Yes . But once I'm well enough, I will have to leave this country and return to Qian Rong," Prince Lu Wei said . "As you might know, the new Emperor of Qian Rong and I did not always get along well . It hasn't been long since the new Emperor ascended the throne . He will want to eliminate any possible threat . "

Princess Lingchen quickly understood Prince Lu Wei's words . However, she was still unsure of the Prince's motive . "Just Da Cheng's protection? Not our help to get Qian Rong's throne?"

"I don't care much about wealth and power," Prince Lu Wei said . "What I want is a peaceful life . "

Princess Lingchen narrowed her eyes as she continued to observe the Prince . After a long silence, she said, "Very well . I will promise you Da Cheng's protection . "
