On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 296: Sharing a Room

Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Sharing a Room

Thinking of this, Ji Qingyu went to the palace.

However, he did not want the Emperor to see him, so he could only return to the Marquis Mansion in disappointment.

The Ninth Princess, on the other hand, was not as depressed as Ji Qingyu.

She believed that Leng Yu Yan was not a person of empty promises!

Just as Ye Jiu had thought, early the next morning, she received a letter from Leng Yu Yan. The letter suggested that she continue to massage her legs daily and that the duration could be appropriately extended. If she had a chance to return, she would definitely help treat her.

Although Ye Jiu was not as depressed as Ji Qingyu, she was still quite saddened by Li Yuyue’s departure.

At this moment, receiving the letter, she knew that if Leng Yu Yan were to return, Li Yuyue would inevitably return as well.

At that time, the siblings, one could treat her legs, and the other could heal her heart!

--

This day was September 28, the third day of Leng Yu Yan’s Extreme Joy Powder reaction.

Since early morning, she had taken sedative pills, so she had been asleep in her horse carriage all morning.

Even when the convoy stopped at an inn to eat, she did not wake up.

The Old Princess Consort asked Xiaoshan, "Why is the Commandery Princess not coming to eat?"

Xiaoshan respectfully replied, "The Commandery Princess is very fatigued, currently accompanied by Miao Zhu."

Yun Family said with concern, "Today’s journey was quite bumpy. Mian’er must be tired, let her sleep a bit longer."

With that, she personally helped pack Leng Yu Yan’s meal.

Ye Yiheng, who was dining nearby, heard this and clenched his chopstick-holding hand tighter. She indeed had backbone, preferring to endure the torment of Extreme Joy Powder rather than seek his help.

After the meal, the convoy continued on its way.

By nightfall, the convoy found an inn to stay at.

Having slept the entire day, Leng Yu Yan finally woke up and dined with her family in the inn.

Who would have thought that she would not eat much before she felt intolerably hot and restless.

Leng Yu Yan internally cursed her luck. During her day-long slumber, her Extreme Joy Powder had not been triggered.

This meant that the reaction was delayed by a day.

She knew she needed to go back to her room quickly, hence she put down her chopsticks, "Grandmother, mother, I cannot eat any more and would like to go back to my room to rest."

The Old Princess Consort nodded, "Go on, rest well!"

It’s always good for a young girl to rest a bit more.

Yun Family touched Leng Yu Yan’s forehead, "Mian’er, are you alright?"

Leng Yu Yan slightly smiled, "Mother, I am fine. I just did not sleep well last night and couldn’t rest properly in the carriage today, so I would like to go to sleep early tonight."

Meanwhile, her hand that was held behind her back pinched her palm tightly, trying her best to stay alert and calm.

Yun Family said gently, "Alright, let Miao Zhu take care of you."

"No need, I’m going directly to bed. Miao Zhu has been taking care of me all day, just let her rest when she can."

With that, Leng Yu Yan walked unsteadily towards the stairs.

Her pinching hand and her floating steps were all seen by Ye Yiheng.

Could it be that the sedative pills were ineffective?

Or perhaps, this time the Extreme Joy Powder’s reaction lasted too long?

Thinking this, he silently put down his chopsticks and with Song Guo’s assistance, also went upstairs.

The Crown Prince’s frailty, in the eyes of the senior Leng Family, meant he needed to rest early, so they thought little of it.

Li Yuyue, however, was suspicious, always feeling that his sister going upstairs and the Crown Prince following had some connection.

What connection, he could not tell at the moment, so he continued to drink and eat.

Upstairs, just as Leng Yu Yan reached out to push the door of her room, a handsome large hand helped push it open for her.

She turned to her side and saw Song Guo helping someone stand next to her.

Seeing her currently flushed face, Ye Yiheng couldn’t help but frown and asked Song Guo, "When did Ling Lang, Liu Yun, and Yin Shuang catch up with us?"

"Your Highness, we left the capital yesterday. It was agreed that if we did not return in a day, they would set out the next day. Calculating the time, they will catch up with us by tomorrow or the day after," Song Guo whispered to prevent the guests in the nearby room from hearing.

Leng Yu Yan had just lifted her foot, intending to step over the threshold, but unexpectedly her bones felt as soft as crumbs, and her whole body leaned weakly to the side.

Ye Yiheng quickly reached out to support her, helping her into the room.

Song Guo closed the door and immediately went to the room that His Highness was staying in, lit a lamp, and searched in the package for the sedative pills Ling Lang had given earlier.

Just then, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the direction of the stairs, hurried out of the room, and walked towards the staircase.

Li Yuyue thought more and more that something was wrong, so he put down his wine cup and went upstairs to check. As soon as he reached the top of the stairs, he encountered the eunuch beside the Crown Prince and immediately darkened his face.

Song Guo greeted with a smile, "Why has the Princely Heir also come up?"

"What, can I not come up?"

"Of course, you can come up," Song Guo said with a smile. "I am about to fetch some water for His Highness, would you like me to bring some for Your Highness as well?"

Li Yuyue waved his hand, "No need."

"Princely Heir, please keep your voice down. The light in the Commandery Princess’s room is off; she must be asleep by now," Song Guo spoke softly. "Being a lady, the Commandery Princess must be tired after traveling these past few days."

Hearing this, Li Yuyue glanced towards the hallway, saw that his sister’s room was dark but the Crown Prince’s room was lit, then raised his eyebrows and went back downstairs.

Song Guo, not wanting the Princely Heir to know that His Highness and the Commandery Princess were currently in the same room, quickly went downstairs to the kitchen to get a basin of cold water, and then returned upstairs.

Li Yuyue, seeing that he indeed was carrying water, gradually lessened his suspicions.

On the stairs, Song Guo gave a meaningful look to Mo Chen Ruo Feng, and the two raised their wine cups and went to toast the four Leng brothers.

Before long, the four Leng brothers and Mo Chen Ruo Feng were happily drinking.

At this moment in the room.

The internal heat within Leng Yu Yan made it difficult for her to stand steady; the person beside her had a slightly cool body, which involuntarily drew her closer.

Just moments before, in the corridor outside the room, Ye Yiheng had heard everything Song Guo and Li Yuyue talked about. Thus, he abruptly stopped as he was about to light the lamp.

By now, Song Guo had not returned, and he was still unsure whether he could light the lamp.

Seeing her unsteady, he picked her up horizontally.

Planning to use the moonlight outside to carry her to the bed before going to his own room to find the medication Ling Lang had provided,

to his surprise, just as he lifted her, her soft arms wrapped around his neck.

Not only that, her burning cheek kept rubbing against his chest...

His steps paused for a moment, then he took a deep breath and started walking again.

The coolness of his embrace made her continuously want to get closer.

At that moment, the door was knocked on by Song Guo and then pushed open.

"I brought some cold water."

As he spoke, Song Guo placed the basin properly and lit the candle.

Turning around, he saw His Highness holding the Commandery Princess, and Song Guo quickly lowered his gaze, took out a small porcelain bottle from his chest, and handed it over.

"This is a sedative made by the master."

"Take one out," Ye Yiheng said indifferently.

His handsome eyes looked towards the person in his arms; the candlelight was casting intertwined shadows, reflecting her blush-stained cheeks and delicate, rosy lips...

Song Guo poured out a pill and handed it to the Crown Prince.

Ye Yiheng placed it into Leng Yu Yan’s mouth.

Perhaps because the pill was too bitter, her delicate little face scrunched up tightly.

The round, fingertip-sized pill was coughed out by her and landed between her tender lips.

Seeing that in the next instant, she was about to spit the pill out...
