Chapter 300: Currying Favor with the Crown Prince

Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Currying Favor with the Crown Prince

Leng Yu Yan struggled with her hand. "That was just the Extreme Joy Powder acting up; I didn’t mean to!"

Seeing the corner of his lips curl up, she hurried to explain, "Besides, Your Highness, you felt cold mainly because of that!"

Ye Yiheng toyed with her fingers, casually asking, "Do you remember what happened while you were in my arms, Commandery Princess? Do you remember what happened after that?"

Leng Yu Yan was stunned. She reached out to wrap her arms around his neck and pressed close to him greedily soaking up the coolness, this scene she remembered.

Was there something else that happened after that she couldn’t remember?

Could she have fallen into an illusion again?

Ye Yiheng let go of her hand and pressed his thumb against his temple.

He had secretly kissed her, and while she was trapped in the illusion, she had also pressed her lips to his.

In the impression of this woman, their lips had never actually touched.

Seeing her shiver and strenuously explain herself, Ye Yiheng was certain that if he did indeed kiss her, she would definitely cry.

And, his cold disease would flare up!

What a curse of poison, preventing him from recklessly kissing her, requiring restraint over and over again.

He wondered if Jian Lecheng had found the Divine Doctor in the Linqing Pavilion?

Before long, an excited shout came from Xiaoshan outside, "Commandery Princess, come quickly and see, the third and fourth young masters caught a lot of fish!"

Just as the atmosphere inside the horse carriage was getting increasingly weird, weird enough for her to feel like she might be eaten by someone.

She didn’t even know what she might have done to him while trapped in the illusion, making her feel a vague terror in her heart, always feeling that this man would retaliate!

Especially since he covered his eyes with a scarf, preventing her from seeing his gaze, but intuitively, she felt that it was better for them not to stay in the same space.

So, she exited the carriage and walked towards the creek.

Ye Yiheng lifted the carriage curtain and watched her slender figure disappear into the distance.

Seeing Leng Yu Yan leave, Ling Lang approached and bowed, "Your Highness."

Ye Yiheng responded indifferently.

Ling Lang instructed Liu Yun and Yin Shuang to guard the front and back of the horse carriage, while he himself entered the carriage.

"Your Highness, heading to Beilan, the ministers who initially stood by Your Highness in the capital have all turned against you," Ling Lang spoke in a respectful tone, lowering his voice, "Does Your Highness truly wish to continue forward?"

"Those people may not be loyal; this is a good chance to see their true colors," Ye Yiheng said expressionlessly, "On this trip to Beilan, I intend to secure the military power of the Northern Garrison."

Parsing the Northern Garrison’s military power, he would have half the world in his hands.

Moreover, Tiancheng had many wise men.

They say that with each new Emperor comes a new set of ministers; he really did not care for the ministers fostered by the old man.

Ling Lang nodded incessantly, "It is good that Your Highness thinks this way!"

This time, with the Extreme Joy Powder acting up on the Princess Beilan and without Your Highness’s cold disease flaring up, it is clear that Your Highness does not harbor romantic feelings for the Princess. Hearing Your Highness’s words now, Ling Lang was continuously overjoyed.

As long as Your Highness continues to pursue the Commandery Princess, obtaining her affection while maintaining reason,

so, obtaining the Northern Garrison’s military power would be within easy reach! And importantly, Your Highness’s cold disease would not act up frequently, which could also be regarded as a means of saving your life.

By the creek.

Leng Yu Yan looked at the bucket full of fish, happily saying, "Did the third and fourth brothers catch them all?"

The twins, their robes tucked into their belts and their trouser legs rolled up high, turned their heads upon hearing their sister’s words, revealing identical neat white teeth.

"Of course, aren’t we impressive?"

"Impressive, indeed!" Leng Yu Yan smiled, her eyes curving into crescents, "Let’s have grilled fish for dinner tonight?"

"Absolutely!" the twins said in unison.

"Sister, isn’t second brother impressive too?" Leng Yuqing pointed at a few people in the water, "Everyone catching fish is under my command."

Leng Yu Yan laughed heartily, "Second brother, so refined and cultured, I didn’t expect you to have a knack for directing fishing!"

Leng Yuqing laughed, "Flatterer!"

Beside him, Lai Yu sighed, "That’s because I didn’t make a move. Once I do, none of these men are a match for me."

"Big brother is the most powerful!"

While speaking, Leng Yu Yan pulled at the scarf that had fallen to her wrist.

With this movement, Lai Yu saw the bandaged fingertips, his fine eyes narrowed, "What happened to your fingers?"

"I accidentally pricked them earlier."

"Is it serious?"

"It’s okay, it’s already been taken care of."

Leng Yu Yan pursed her lips and moved her hands behind her back, watching the many people standing in the stream.

Lai Yu quietly sighed. His intuition told him that the Crown Prince’s closeness to her spelled trouble.

How degrading for a Crown Prince of such stature to follow her to Beilan City...

Although the Crown Prince had safely escorted them out of the capital city, he should be grateful.

Yet, a vague unease lingered in his heart...

On the surface, the Crown Prince’s actions were to protect Yan’er’s reputation, but what really was his underlying motive?

The trio who arrived yesterday, two women and a man; he believed the women were Crown Prince Guards. But that middle-aged man probably had some background.

The more Lai Yu thought about it, the more he felt the Crown Prince’s schemes were unspeakable.

That night, in his sister’s room, the Crown Prince held her; although his eyes were covered with a white scarf, the direction he pointed towards was the shelf with the towel. When he tried to grab his sister, the Crown Prince blocked him with a raised hand, showing some skills.

Such hidden depth, the Crown Prince’s thoughts were probably deeper than the sea!

A sickly Crown Prince, easily disposable by the Emperor and the court, unless he had irreplaceable power behind him!

The Crown Prince’s intentions were likely the same as the Emperor’s, both coveting the military power of their Prince Zhenbei Mansion. The Emperor couldn’t go to Beilan City, but the Crown Prince could.

Lai Yu broke out in cold sweat!

"Sister, big brother wants to talk to you."

Leng Yu Yan nodded, "Okay."

The siblings walked along the creek.

"The Crown Prince is unfathomable, filled with numerous poisons aimed at his life. Sister, take your brother’s advice and stay away from the Crown Prince."

"Big brother..."

Leng Yu Yan furrowed her brows. Could she really stay away?

"If you insist on being with the Crown Prince, you’ll face even more enemies in the future. Do you understand?" Lai Yu glanced towards the direction of the Eastern Palace Carriage, "Sister, tell me the truth, do you really like the Crown Prince?"

"Big brother, I..."

Lai Yu raised his hand to interrupt her, "My second brother already told me; your so-called mutual affection with the Crown Prince, it indeed has reasons behind it. With that in mind, you must act rationally!"

"Not hiding from big brother, my so-called mutual affection with the Crown Prince started because I wanted him to protect our Prince Mansion in the capital. After all, at that time the Emperor wanted to place our mansion under house arrest, and the Emperor even harbored killing intentions against Father King and big brother. I had no choice but to do so."

During the conversation, Leng Yu Yan’s head hung lower.

Hearing this, Lai Yu deeply sighed, not expecting that his sister’s involvement with the Crown Prince was because of him!

A dull pain surged in his heart as he reached out to grip her shoulder, "From now on, big brother will protect everyone in the Prince Mansion, and you no longer have to please the Crown Prince with your own body."

The Crown Prince wasn’t even much of a man, why should his sister have to please him?

Pervert!

"Pleasing?" Leng Yu Yan was puzzled, "Did you see something that night?"

Lai Yu awkwardly coughed lightly, "That night, you were held in the Crown Prince’s arms, not just that, your lips were bloodied, and there were marks on his Adam’s apple as well..."

Leng Yu Yan’s mind exploded. She kissed his Adam’s apple?

That couldn’t be true, could it?
