Published at 11th of August 2019 07:50:54 AM Chapter 123

Five months have passed since Mingyue had disappeared . During this period, Princess Lingchen has been under Ying Yi treatment and Han Zhenting's supervision to cure the cold poison inside her body . It was the final day for the Crown Princess to receive the treatment .

When Princess Lingchen found out that they might run out of medicine before the treatment finished, she was devastated . However, her cousin, Jiang Xiao Tian, revealed that there might be another method to naturalize the poison .

Prince Lu Wei of Qian Rong admitted that he has a method . However, he had his term: no one should be around during his treatment . The prince claimed that he had learned a secret technique to treat this cold poison from his concubine mother .

Princess Lingchen wanted to get better, but she was skeptical of Prince Lu Wei's way . There was no way that she would allow herself to be alone with a man who had no relationship with herself . After all, she is the Crown Princess of Da Cheng . Being alone with a man would only tarnish her reputation .

In the end, Princess Lingchen made a deal with herself . If the cold poison did not go away by the time her treatment with Ying Yi ended, then, she will accept Prince Lu Wei's way .

AdvertisementBack in Han Zhenting's small infirmary, Princess Lingchen sat quietly on the stool . Her right hand rested on a small pillow on the table as she watched her grandfather took her pulse .

Beside her, both Ying Yi and Jiang Xiao Tian waited anxiously for the result . When the examination ended, Han Zhenting heaved a sigh .

"How is it?" Jiang Xiao Tian asked . He could no longer bear the silence .

"We still need a month worth of medicine for the poison to disappear," Han Zhenting said .

The room was silent again . Princess Lingchen tapped her fingers on the table . Then she turned around to Jiang Xiao Tian . "Please arrange a meeting with Prince Lu Wei . "

"You agree to his terms?" Jiang Xiao Tian asked .

Princess Lingchen shook her head . "I need to talk to him before I agree to anything . "

Jiang Xiao Tian thought about it for a while and nodded .

"Regarding this prince, how much do you trust him?" Han Zhenting asked . "Is he really proficient in medicine?"

"I don't know," the Crown Princess slumped her shoulder . Although she had few interactions with Prince Lu Wei, Princess Lingchen could tell that the Prince had no bad intention towards her .

"You're willing to gamble and trust this person to treat you? What if he turns out to be a liar?" Han Zhenting continued to ask .

"This is why I need to talk to him before I agree . However, Grandfather, what if he really can heal me?" Princess Lingchen asked . "I need to get better . I need to get rid of this poison inside of me or else; I might spend the rest of my life, worrying if someone is going to take a chance to cause the poison in my body to surface again . I don't want to live like that, constantly worrying . "

Han Zhenting could only sigh at his granddaughter's words .

"Grandfather, I need to make this gamble . However, this is the gamble that I do not think I could afford to lose," Princess Lingchen said . She placed a hand on Han Zhenting's arms to comfort the older man . "Don't worry . I know how to protect myself . "

…

Prince Lu Wei strolled around the market place with a guard in plain clothes beside him . He entered a bookshop and silently browsed through the titles . The Prince picked up a book and frowned when something blocked the light source . The frown on his face quickly disappeared when he met with Jiang Xiao Tian's gaze .

"Your Highness," Jiang Xiao Tian greeted . His voice was low as they were in a bookstore .

"Commander Jiang, I did not expect to see you here," Prince Lu Wei spoke . He put the book back on the shelf and noticed that the guard by his side was no longer around . In was then that he saw that the shop had been evacuated .

"You don't have to worry . I'm only here to invite you for tea," Jiang Xiao Tian said .

"You don't need to empty the shop to invite me for tea," the Prince said .

Jiang Xiao Tian smiled . "The shopkeeper made an unnecessary gesture . I'm sorry if this has made you uncomfortable . Your Highness, if you're free right now, would you come with me for tea?"

Prince Lu Wei placed both hands behind him . "If you have something to say, you can say it right here, Commander Jiang . After all, this shop is empty . "

"It wasn't me who wanted to have a word with you," Jiang Xiao Tian said . "It's the Crown Princess . "
