On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness -
Chapter 311: The Lady is Her
Chapter 311: Chapter 311: The Lady is Her
Leng Yu Yan’s heart panicked, unable to push him away, she could only cover his lips with her hand, glaring at him fiercely.
"Your Highness, please understand the situation. Right now, we’re in Beilan City, and to put it bluntly, if something were to happen to you, the people from the capital wouldn’t make it in time to investigate!"
Ye Yiheng narrowed his handsome eyes beneath the eye veil, his slender fingers grasping her wrist that covered his mouth, then once again leaned in close to whisper in her ear, "Commandery Princess, your words are mistaken. If I were indeed to meet with an accident in Beilan City, the old man would have an excuse to seize control of the Northern Garrison. With your wisdom, how could you let yourself make a losing deal?"
"You!" Leng Yu Yan pulled her hand back, seizing the opportunity to draw a silver needle from her sleeve pocket and smiled sweetly, "Would you like to give it a try?"
The silver needle gleamed coldly, and before she could prick his acupoint, she saw him suddenly collapse.
A scam?
Leng Yu Yan crouched down and patted his face: "Hey!"
The person on the ground gave no reaction.
She reached out to feel his pulse; the pulse was somewhat abnormal, similar to when a cold disease flared up.
While she was suspicious, several people quickly arrived nearby.
Mo Chen Ruo Feng propped up Ye Yiheng, while Song Guo asked with concern, "Commandery Princess, how did the Crown Prince end up like this?"
All eyes turned to the silver needle in her pale hand, which she hadn’t managed to put away in time.
Leng Yu Yan looked down at the silver needle, "I haven’t pricked him yet."
Li Yuyue quietly gave her a thumbs-up, and Leng Yu Yan hurriedly said, "Big brother, I really didn’t prick him yet, he just fainted."
Yun Feiyang suggested, "It’s commonly known that the Crown Prince has poor health, perhaps he faints frequently?"
Li Yuyue didn’t want the blind Crown Prince to run into trouble in Beilan City. Although his sister’s actions were justified, they should suffice as a lesson, so he said gravely, "Quickly help His Highness back to his room, and have the house doctor look at him!"
Soon after, Mo Chen and Ruofeng helped Ye Yiheng back to the guest quarters.
Seeing that both Li Yuyue and Yun Feiyang had not followed, Ye Yiheng suddenly spoke, "Close the courtyard gate, just say I’ve already been seen by a doctor, there’s no need for the house doctor."
As soon as he finished talking, he removed his arm from Mo Chen Ruo Feng’s shoulder.
Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan reacted and questioned indignantly, "Ye Yiheng, you’re tricking me!"
With a suppressed smile, Mo Chen Ruo Feng swiftly exited the courtyard, closed the gate, and stood guard outside.
Song Guo closed the door to the room, staying just outside the door.
Liu Yun and Yin Shuang didn’t understand the situation and came to ask Song Guo, "What happened?"
Song Guo whispered, "His Highness wants to speak with the Commandery Princess. Keep an eye on the doctor, don’t let him come over!"
"At the moment, the doctor is busy researching Poison Identification, he won’t have time to come over."
As Liu Yun spoke, he attempted to peek through the door crack, but Song Guo pressed him back, "Move away, His Highness and the Commandery Princess want to have a private conversation!"
Inside the room.
Leng Yu Yan was furious, her chest heaving dramatically with anger, "Do you find it amusing to deceive people like this?"
Ye Yiheng dusted off the non-existent dirt on his clothes, "So the Commandery Princess must treat me well! With this lesson, if I were to faint in front of the Commandery Princess in the future, everyone would think the Commandery Princess had used a needle."
Tears welled up in Leng Yu Yan’s eyes; she couldn’t understand why he had ignored her for so long and now was suddenly toying with her.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, tears gathering more and more in her eyes, quickly cascading down.
Upon seeing this, Ye Yiheng became panicked, "My fainting earlier was real."
His fainting was genuine; he had intended to kiss her lips, but unexpectedly, before he could do so, he collapsed.
No matter how he tried to explain, she wouldn’t listen. Seeing her cry more and more, he could only gently wipe away her tears, admitting honestly, "The fainting was indeed real, appearing as a sign of the onset of cold disease."
While speaking, he stretched out his hand and let her take his pulse again.
Leng Yu Yan sniffled and gently felt for the pulse; it was indeed consistent with the symptoms of the cold disease as before.
Ye Yiheng said tenderly, "I just regained my sight yesterday, and this eye condition has been acting up for more than half a month. When you had your fifth attack of Extreme Joy Powder, I was suffering from the cold disease, which also persisted for many days."
If it hadn’t been for the cold disease, he would surely have stayed by her side during her attack of Extreme Joy Powder.
This trip to Beilan City, as they headed northward and the temperature dropped, was somewhat intolerable for him due to his cold disease.
The simultaneous flare-up of his eye condition and cold disease left him uncertain how to continue with her.
"Why didn’t you come to me when you couldn’t see on the road and had an outbreak of the cold disease?" Leng Yu Yan shed tears again, "We are partners, Crown Prince. If you can’t live well, how can we trade?"
Ye Yiheng laughed, suddenly feeling much better!
"Yanyan, are you concerned about me, right?"
But on the road, he didn’t speak out, not wanting others from the Prince Zhenbei Mansion to know about his health.
If they realized how poor his health was, there would surely be fewer people in the Prince Mansion who accepted them being together.
His mood suddenly lightened, and he stretched out his arms to embrace her into his chest.
Leng Yu Yan shook her head, "I don’t care about that; I only care if our trade partnership can continue."
"It makes no difference to me," Ye Yiheng smiled as he gently let her go, "Shall you accompany me for a walk outside?"
"I don’t want to go. The Crown Prince has a wife; she can keep you company."
Leng Yu Yan reined in her emotions and moved to open the door and leave.
"Wife?" Ye Yiheng was utterly puzzled, holding the door, "Who told you?"
"It doesn’t matter who told me. What matters is that Your Highness has someone else, and we are only related to each other in trade terms."
Ye Yiheng pondered for a moment and then quickly understood, "Did your elder brother say this?"
Leng Yu Yan turned around, looking at him with confusion, "How did you know?"
Ye Yiheng chuckled, personally opened the door, and said to Song Guo outside, "Bring those two jars of local wine."
Song Guo held the local wine in front of Leng Yu Yan and explained with a smile, "The other day when the hostel was full, the Crown Prince and Princely Heir had to stay at the inn. The Shopkeeper was hospitable and asked the Crown Prince if he had made up with his wife. It seems the Princely Heir overheard that, and this must be what he told the Commandery Princess."
Ye Yiheng waved Song Guo away and a hint of amusement flashed through his eyes, "Wife?"
Leng Yu Yan’s face heated up quickly; in her wildest dreams, she hadn’t imagined that she was the ’wife.’
"The Commandery Princess looks quite cute when she’s jealous!"
Ye Yiheng laughed, clearly well amused.
Leng Yu Yan wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground. Did she sound jealous when she spoke just now?
He took her hand and squeezed it, "Alright, don’t be embarrassed! Accompany me to the street to buy some jade."
As long as he didn’t bring up her "jealousy," there was nothing wrong with going to the street, so she asked, "What are you buying jade for?"
"Jade can be made into hairpins, rings, bracelets, earrings, and also can..."
He spoke, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
"Also can what?"
Leng Yu Yan couldn’t see his eyes beneath the eye veil, only his slightly hooked lips, and thought he had some ignoble idea, instinctively trying to withdraw her hand.
Amusement flickered in Ye Yiheng’s eyes, and he brought his lips close to her ear, murmuring, "Have you heard of beauties nurturing jade?"
Leng Yu Yan replied blankly, "Wearing it on the body, like that?"
Ye Yiheng shook his head and chuckled softly, "People nurture jade, jade nurtures people; there’s a deeper meaning. Think about it, Commandery Princess."
Suddenly, Leng Yu Yan thought of a possibility, her eyes widened in shock—surely it couldn’t be what she was thinking?
