On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 292 Water Condition

Chapter 292: Chapter 292 Water Condition

Just now, when the Old Princess Consort and the Yun Family had yet to arrive at the Imperial Study, the Emperor spoke with the Lai Family father and son, saying that the main issue blocking the marriage between the Crown Prince and Leng Yu Yan was the reputation of Leng Yu Yan’s birth mother.

At this moment, seeing that the Emperor was discussing the Crown Prince’s health, the Lai Family made their farewells.

Before leaving, Lai Taihong said, "Emperor, my granddaughter was rescued by the Crown Prince, and they have had skin-to-skin contact in the water. Under such circumstances, Yan’er definitely cannot marry another man!"

The implied meaning was that the Emperor should stop trying to arrange for Leng Yu Yan to marry another prince!

If Yan’er wished to marry someone else, having gone through the approval of her grandfather, he would naturally agree.

But at this moment, it was necessary to bring up propriety to prevent the Emperor from recklessly arranging a marriage!

Ji Qingyu, who was outside the Imperial Study, heard these words and felt somewhat relieved; at least Uncle Emperor did not agree with Ah Yan and a blind man.

After the Lai Family members left, Ji Qingyu and Ye Jiu exchanged a glance and entered the Imperial Study together.

Prince Zhenbei Mansion.

Leng Yu Yan brought Ye Yiheng back to her courtyard and quickly fetched silver needles to administer acupuncture.

To her surprise, the silver needles that were usually effective seemed useless today; his body was still very cold, and he seemed like he might faint at any time.

Mo Chen said, "Commandery Princess, do you need me and Ruofeng to help His Highness with energy circulation?"

Leng Yu Yan twirled the silver needle and shook her head, "The needle isn’t working; energy circulation won’t help."

Song Guo speculated, "Commandery Princess, in the past when you administered acupuncture, His Highness would soak in a hot water bath first. Could that be the reason?"

"You make a good point!" Leng Yu Yan nodded and turned her head to order, "Miao Zhu, Xiaoshan, take some people and fill the bathtub in my bathroom with hot water."

Miao Zhu came up to Leng Yu Yan and asked quietly, "Commandery Princess, are you sure in your bathroom, using your bathtub? Shouldn’t we take His Highness to the Princely Heir or another of the three gentlemen?"

Ye Yiheng, with his eyes closed, suddenly spoke, "I do not need the bathtub used by other men."

Leng Yu Yan tugged at the corner of her mouth and said to Miao Zhu, "It’s fine, you and Xiaoshan go and prepare the water quickly."

She had soaked in someone else’s bath pond before; today she would return the favor.

Before long, the hot water was ready, and Ye Yiheng was helped into the bathtub.

Since it was in Leng Yu Yan’s room, although he was stripped of his large cloak and outer shirt, his inner clothes were kept on.

Seeing this, Miao Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, she would have found it difficult to explain to the Old Princess Consort!

After all, it was in the private bathing room of Leng Yu Yan’s boudoir, and Mo Chen, Ruofeng, and Song Guo found it inappropriate to stay long. After helping Ye Yiheng into the bathtub, the three of them waited in the outer room.

Inside the bathroom, Leng Yu Yan and Ye Yiheng were left alone.

Looking at the beautiful man with his eyes closed in front of her, Leng Yu Yan sighed quietly; for their trading partnership, he risked the onset of his cold disease to save her today.

She was very grateful!

In that case, she definitely could not let his cold disease manifest this time!

She repositioned the silver needles on his body and twisted them.

Suddenly, she heard him as if saying something, Leng Yu Yan leaned closer, but still couldn’t hear clearly.

She had to lean her ear closer...

"Your Highness, what did you say?"

Ye Yiheng’s fingers moved in the water, the girl beside him was so close.

Close enough that he could easily smell the fragrance from her body, and her sweet breath brushed over his neck, bringing a scorching warmth...

"I wanted to say, I am fine, you don’t have to worry!"

He had heard her sigh just now, surely she was distressed over his physical condition.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

Lai Yu heard that the Crown Prince had been brought back to the courtyard by Leng Yu Yan, but now there was no sign of him.

"Could it be that the Commandery Princess took the Crown Prince into her room?" Lai Yu looked at Xiaoshan and Miao Zhu, asking sternly.

Xiaoshan bowed his head silently, Miao Zhu pursed her lips in difficulty.

Lai Yu swept his gaze over Mo Chen and Ruofeng, finally fixating on Song Guo, "The Crown Prince is currently in the room of I’s younger sister, how can this be explained?"

"This..." Song Guo furrowed his brow, "Please Princely Heir, lower your voice, we shouldn’t disturb the Crown Prince and the Commandery Princess at this moment!"

Hearing this, Lai Yu became even more annoyed and called out loudly, "Sister, sister!"

Upon hearing the noise, Leng Yu Yan hurried out.

"Big brother, keep your voice down!"

Lai Yu scanned her from head to toe, seeing nothing amiss on his own sister, he then lowered his voice, "What is the Crown Prince doing in your room?"

"So much happened today, I fell into the water during the banquet, and His Highness saved me. Right now, His Highness’s cold disease flared up, so I brought him to my room to administer acupuncture, there’s nothing else going on as you might think!"

Leng Yu Yan did not mention that she had taken him into her bathroom and used her bathtub.

If she had said so, considering her brother’s temper, he might have had someone dragged out for a severe interrogation.

Just then, Gao Yuan came to report, "Princely Heir, the Old Prince and others are back, they are looking for you in the study right now!"

Lai Yu looked deeply at the door of the room, and then again at Leng Yu Yan before leaving with Gao Yuan.

Thinking that Ye Yiheng still had needles on him, Leng Yu Yan hurried back to the bathroom.

Upon entering, she found that the person who had been sitting by the bathtub was gone, and she rushed over anxiously.

"Your Highness?"

"Splash—"

A sound of water stirred as Ye Yiheng suddenly sat up from the water, and as he moved, water splashed everywhere, soaking Leng Yu Yan completely, even wetting her face.

"Your Highness, with such a condition, it seems your cold disease isn’t serious!"

Leng Yu Yan, not bothering to wipe the water from her face, checked his pulse; indeed, the cold disease was under control.

"I was just afraid that Heir Lai would come over, and find me in your bathtub, leaving it hard to explain, wasn’t I?"

Ye Yiheng smiled unrestrainedly, his eye veil hanging askew over his nose from emerging from the water, unexpectedly highlighting his stunningly beautiful eyes and brows, even surpassing an immortal.

Such a peerlessly handsome man, at this moment, could not hide his eyes nor his inherently mischievous nature.

Leng Yu Yan withdrew her gaze from him and deftly removed all the silver needles.

"If Your Highness wished to sit up, you should have done so properly, why did you splash water on me?"

Ye Yiheng gazed at her, her long, curved eyelashes wet in clumps, perhaps due to irritation, her chest heaving dramatically.

Suddenly recalling the scene he witnessed in the water, where her large collar had almost gathered around her slender waist, Ye Yiheng’s face flushed with heat.

Just as she had finished putting away the silver needles and saw his reddening cheeks, she reached out to check, "Could it be that Your Highness has caught a chill, perhaps a fever?"

"No fever," Ye Yiheng coughed lightly, "May I trouble the Commandery Princess to call Song Guo to fetch a set of inner clothes from the horse carriage?"

Leng Yu Yan then wiped the water from her face, now alone in the bathroom with him, recalling the doubts she had in Xingning Palace, she asked softly, "I can fetch the inner clothes, but could Your Highness first tell me, what was my condition in the water?"

"What do you mean by ’condition’?"

Ye Yiheng, no longer daring to look into her eyes, even though his eye veil was wet, covered his eyes with the white veil.

"I mean, what was my appearance like in the water?"

Ye Yiheng coughed for a while before eventually saying, "The Commandery Princess was unconscious."

Leng Yu Yan took a deep breath, "What I want to ask is, what did my clothes look like at that time?"
