Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Resisting Alone

Ye Yiheng’s head lowered slightly, his thin lips seemingly about to move closer...

With a thud, Leng Yu Yan felt as if she heard the sound of a string snapping inside her brain.

Their faces were too close, so close that she always felt as if something was about to cover hers, so she suddenly opened her eyes wide, her previously hazy expression instantly focused.

Realizing she was in his arms, she pushed against his chest and leapt down in a panic, cursing herself for not being clear-headed.

"Has the Commandery Princess misunderstood something?"

Ye Yiheng’s brows furrowed slightly, could it be that she thought he intended to kiss her?

Song Guo tactfully left the room.

"..." Leng Yu Yan blushed fiercely, feeling as if her whole body was on fire.

Yet he even pressed against her lips, silencing her words and preventing her from spitting out the pill. She could do nothing but slap his arm randomly.

Ye Yiheng then withdrew his hand.

Covering her lips with her hand, Leng Yu Yan finally managed to spit the pill out into her palm.

"Cough cough... This medicine is so bitter, not as good as the one I made."

The bitterness made her much more aware.

She rushed to the edge of the bed, searching through her bag for the sleep-aid pill she had made.

Ye Yiheng sat down on a chair nearby, leisurely straightening his robe, and asked with a teasing smile, "Does the Commandery Princess perhaps think that I was about to kiss you?"

Hearing these words, Leng Yu Yan froze on the spot, as the pill she was holding in her palm rolled onto the floor.

Could it be otherwise?

But she couldn’t ask that question.

All she could say was, "I just wanted to spit out the pill."

At this, Ye Yiheng’s lips curved up slightly in amusement, his voice teasing, "Have you taken any advantage of me before you fell into the illusion?"

"Ah?" Leng Yu Yan was stupefied, her inner heat constantly rising, so she avoided engaging in his banter and focused on searching for her own pill.

Perhaps due to the effects of the Extreme Joy Powder, which usually made searching for objects a breeze, she found her hands uncooperative.

Seeing her struggle, Ye Yiheng stepped closer, "Where did you put it, perhaps it’s still in the carriage?"

"It’s in my bag, inside a wallet."

Leng Yu Yan straightened up, pressing against her racing heart.

Ye Yiheng bent down and started rummaging through her bag.

A soothing, cool fragrance emanated from the person beside her, so pleasant that it seeped into her nose and enveloped her entirely, making her swallow saliva involuntarily.

Leng Yu Yan bit her lip tightly and clenched the pill in her hand firmly, fearing that she would lose control and throw herself at him.

"I found it." Ye Yiheng’s hand, white as cold jade, pinched out a delicate little jade box, "Is this it?"

"That’s it!"

Leng Yu Yan took it with delight, opened the lid, and swallowed a pill.

Seeing her swallow it directly, Ye Yiheng silently handed her a cup of water.

Leng Yu Yan didn’t hesitate, tilting her head to drink.

However, the sleep-aid pill wasn’t a broth and didn’t dissolve and digest quickly once inside the stomach.

And the effect of the Extreme Joy Powder inside her had grown even worse.

It was only in the moment Ye Yiheng put down the water cup and turned around that he saw her standing opposite him, her eyebrows furrowed, her lips tightly bitten.

The force was so great that she had bitten through her lip, and drops of crimson blood fell from her lip.

It was a shocking sight!

He grasped her cheeks, forcing her to release her teeth.

"Stop biting! Why endure it like this?"

Leng Yu Yan sank into a seat on the edge of the bed, shaking her head, "The pill will take some time to take effect..."

That was why she had made sure to take her medicine earlier in the day. She had calculated the timing based on the previous two incidents, thinking that if it occurred during her sleep, she could bear it.

Who would have expected it to happen in the evening?

Ye Yiheng soaked a cotton cloth in cold water to help her wipe the blood from her lips.

"I won’t resist if you do something to me," I said.

I just wanted her to feel better in that moment.

Leng Yu Yan couldn’t help but burst into laughter at these words, yet the restless feeling within her body was exceptionally clear.

"I am not joking!"

He tossed the cotton towel onto the rack, lifted his robe, and sat on the edge of the bed, closing the jade box lid with a deft movement and putting it back into the wallet.

Lifting his eyes, he saw her struggling to hold back, with a redness creeping into the corners of her eyes, and his handsome brows furrowed: "Are you sure you still want to endure?"

As he finished speaking, he reached out to grasp her chin, preventing her from biting her lip again in pain to try to stay alert.

His knuckles were long and powerful, holding her chin with just the right amount of strength. The coolness of his fingertips was even more heart-trembling than the coolness of the cotton towel.

Leng Yu Yan clenched her fist, blinked her somewhat hazy eyes, and reached out to cling to his shoulders.

Seeing this, Ye Yiheng smoothly wrapped his arms around her slender waist and lifted her to sit on his lap.

"Your Highness is somewhat cool, let me hold you for a while."

"I won’t resist," he said.

His voice was low and deep, and in the quiet of the night, it was incredibly seductive.

Leng Yu Yan slumped into his arms, encircling his neck with her hands, pressing her burning cheeks against his neck.

Her breath was hot and erratic, startling his heart.

Downstairs.

Mo Chen Ruo Feng was toasting Li Yuyue, which aroused his suspicion.

The two guards usually quiet during meals seemed oddly active today, could there be a trick?

Using the excuse of needing to relieve himself, Li Yuyue turned and headed upstairs.

Inside the room.

Her entire face felt the coolness, yet it wasn’t enough. Leng Yu Yan closed her eyes and brought her hand up to touch the protruding Adam’s apple.

Acting on a mysterious impulse, she brought her lips close and lightly pressed them against it.

Even though it was a brief touch, Ye Yiheng suddenly tensed.

Sleepiness washed over her, and she said with a slight smile, "I’ve stamped my seal here, and now you are mine!"

"Are you serious?"

His voice was huskier than he realized, tinged with obvious elation and a touch of insecurity, fearing she was talking nonsense, and dreading her immediate denial.

Not receiving a response for a long time, Ye Yiheng slightly lowered his head, only to find that the person in his arms seemed to have fallen asleep.

He slightly curved his lips and gently kissed her forehead.

Just then, he heard her murmur, "The young man is mine now!"

Ye Yiheng shook his head and chuckled lowly, thinking she wouldn’t fall into an illusion this time, but she couldn’t escape it after all.

He lifted his hand, his long fingers gently running through her hair, straightening it, then, as if soothing a baby, he lightly patted her back.

Having ascended the stairs and reached the hallway, Li Yuyue saw that the light was on in Leng Yu Yan’s room and quickly strode over.

Song Guo, seeing him come back, hastened forward, "Heir Lai, have you finished your evening meal?"

His voice was soft, but it was enough for the Crown Prince in the room to hear.

Li Yuyue gave him a glance and stepped to the side, but Song Guo followed suit with a step of his own.

"Do you dare to block me?"

"I wouldn’t dare."

"If you wouldn’t dare, why block the way?"

Song Guo was anxious about the situation inside the room and, though his face was thick with worry, he still blocked Li Yuyue’s path.

Heir of Prince Zhenbei stood very tall, a match for the Crown Prince, and year-round military campaigns had endowed him with a fearsome air of authority...

His mere presence was intimidating and chilling to the bone!

Fortunately, Song Guo had always been under the severe atmosphere of the Crown Prince; now, facing Heir Lai’s sharp aura, he was frightened but stood his ground without retreating.

Seeing this, Li Yuyue grew angry.

This little eunuch’s behavior further suggested something odd was going on in the room!

He grabbed Song Guo by the collar, lifting him off the ground like picking up a duckling, threw him to the side, and then kicked open the door...
