On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness -
Chapter 315: I Can Do It Alone
Chapter 315: Chapter 315: I Can Do It Alone
Miss Miao Zhu was about to say something else, but Song Guo pulled her back.
Miss Miao Zhu anxiously said, "Song Guo, I am a woman, shouldn’t you refrain from pulling and tugging like this?"
Song Guo laughed, "Miss Miao Zhu, I’m not a man either, such pulling and tugging won’t be a problem."
"You!"
Miss Miao Zhu was infuriated but couldn’t outpull Song Guo; she was physically weaker, indeed at a disadvantage.
The smile on Song Guo’s face deepened, "Stay calm, the Commandery Princess and my master, Your Highness, are about to be married, it’s good for us to interact more!"
As the two spoke, Ye Yiheng arrived in front of Leng Yu Yan.
Leng Yu Yan was sitting by the window in the room, resting her chin on her hands as she looked out into the courtyard, beside her on a small table sat a delicate little jade box.
Ye Yiheng had seen this small jade box before; it contained sleeping pills.
Hearing familiar footsteps, Leng Yu Yan did not turn her head, "Why have you come, Your Highness?"
Only a man could relieve those who were struck by Extreme Joy Powder.
If not relieved, the first breakout would be followed by five more. Though it was said to last three months, this was merely indicative. Since the first occurrence took effect that same day, the subsequent five occurrences would take place every half-month; strictly speaking, it should account for two and a half months.
Today, the final occurrence was due, recalling the severity of the past five outbreaks, Leng Yu Yan still deeply loathed Ye Zhenxian.
Ye Yiheng walked slowly to a chair beside her and sat down, "I have come to keep you company."
"No need for company; after all, this is the last time. No matter how hard it is, I must endure it."
Leng Yu Yan turned to look at the man beside her.
Yesterday, her grandfather had mentioned that the Crown Prince was willing to marry into the Prince Mansion, so she asked, "Do you truly wish to marry into the Prince Mansion?"
Ye Yiheng answered honestly, "Given the current situation, the Father Emperor refuses to grant the marriage. Under such circumstances, if you and I marry, we certainly cannot enter the Jade Dishware."
"In that case, I shall enter the Leng Family Genealogy. This should not be considered as degrading you."
While speaking, he smiled, his eyes twinkling like stars amidst vast mountains.
This reason stirred Leng Yu Yan considerably. Thinking of his identity, she couldn’t help but ask, "Wouldn’t that be demeaning to Your Highness?"
"I am a man; what is there to be demeaned or not?"
He smiled warmly.
Leng Yu Yan pursed her lips, silent.
Suddenly, she heard him murmur as if to himself, "If I am entered into the Leng Family Genealogy, am I considered a Leng Family member?"
Would that mean he finally had a family?
Since he could remember, the Empress Dowager had told him that the term ’family’ only existed among common folk. In the Tian Family, the Father Emperor and Empress Dowager were not considered family to him but sovereigns and subjects.
The Empress Dowager also instructed him to be a good Prince and Crown Prince; it meant cultivating ruthlessness and the resolve to forsake everything, only then could he control the world.
The Empress Dowager further warned him that tenderness would only delay the Crown Prince’s decision-making speed, drain his prompt and decisive ability, making him indecisive. A person who is indecisive could never ascend to the throne.
Thus, from an early age, he knew he was alone.
"The ’I’ that I use," not only symbolized the Crown Prince’s status but also genuinely reflected his inner self.
Leng Yu Yan watched him intently, "Of course it counts!"
In the current noble families, there were two scenarios: one where a married woman would not be recorded in her natal family genealogy; the other, more progressive case, was that although detailed records might not be kept, there would at least be a note of which household’s daughter she was, and by whom she was born.
Now, the situation was that he would follow her into the Leng Family Genealogy, which meant he was marrying into the family.
And she would not be considered a married woman.
Other men could marry into a family, but he was the Crown Prince, and to him, this was a great humiliation.
She added, "Considering how Your Highness treats me, I will discuss this with my father and brothers to assist Your Highness! My grandfather dotes on me the most, just a little coaxing from me, and he will surely support Your Highness!"
Ye Yiheng chuckled lightly, his eyes flashing with interest, "Would the Commandery Princess deign to be coquettish with me?"
"This..." Leng Yu Yan was at a loss for words.
Weren’t they having a good conversation? Why did it suddenly change?
Seeing her face slightly flush, he said in a deep voice, "If the Commandery Princess can’t do it, then brew it for a few days, and it wouldn’t hurt to act coquettish after a few days."
His voice was enchantingly captivating, as if it carried a bewildering charm.
Not knowing whether it was the Extreme Joy Powder about to take effect, or because of his teasing words, Leng Yu Yan felt an unbearable irritation in her heart, so she rose to pull him.
"Your Highness, please leave. I would like to be alone today."
Ye Yiheng stood unyieldingly still, and when he saw her warm little hand gripping his two fingers, he was moved, and with a twirl of his wrist, he enclosed her hand in his palm. "We are about to get married, so if the Commandery Princess doesn’t want to endure today..."
He was cut off mid-sentence when Leng Yu Yan placed her hand over his lips. "Don’t say another word!"
Ye Yiheng’s eyes crinkled with a smile. His thin lips parted slightly, and the tip of his teeth gently grazed the palm of her hand.
A strange sensation spread from her palm. Leng Yu Yan shivered. The Extreme Joy Powder hadn’t taken effect yet, but she was about to be driven mad by this madman.
Like an electric shock, she pulled her hand from his lips, wanting to flee...
But unexpectedly, her other hand was still tightly clutched by him.
"I’m serious. If the Commandery Princess can’t bear it, I can."
After all, they were about to be married. It might as well be considered an advance consummation.
Leng Yu Yan furrowed her brows and looked into his eyes. He could?
"Your Highness isn’t joking, is he?"
Ye Yiheng suddenly realized that he had told her about his concealment of his impotence, fearing that once she knew he was a normal man, she wouldn’t want to marry him...
Sticking to his previous story, he said, "What I mean is, I can help the Commandery Princess."
Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan was even more puzzled. How could he help?
Seeing her completely baffled face, Ye Yiheng cleared his throat, "All those jade pieces weren’t bought for nothing. Although they aren’t fully carved yet, the rough shape is already there..."
Leng Yu Yan covered her ears with one hand. "I’m not listening, I’m not listening!"
He could only stand up, bringing his lips close to her ear, his voice low and deep. "Does the Commandery Princess want to try it first?"
"Playboy, despicable!"
Deranged Ye Yiheng, was he just planning to take advantage of her while the Extreme Joy Powder took effect?
Leng Yu Yan was so angry that her chest heaved violently, and her body trembled incessantly, with the corners of her eyes faintly reddening.
Suddenly chastised, Ye Yiheng’s face donned an innocent expression as he pulled out a jade hairpin from his sleeve pocket.
"Where has the Commandery Princess’s mind wandered?" He brought the hairpin right under her eyelids. "Could the Commandery Princess be thinking of something else?"
Leng Yu Yan’s little face instantly blushed deeply. "Don’t say it!"
His words first mentioned helping her, and then he mentioned the hairpin. With such a thoughtless change of topic, he made her have misconceptions.
She couldn’t be blamed for the misconception. He was just changing the subject too abruptly!
Now, seeing his handsome face looking so innocent and helpless, Leng Yu Yan couldn’t help but doubt if she had made a mistake...
"I didn’t mean to scold Your Highness intentionally, I just got confused because of the Extreme Joy Powder."
Being beside the Crown Prince, who was baffled by her scolding, she had no choice but to bring up the Extreme Joy Powder as an excuse.
Ye Yiheng was secretly amused, yet his expression remained unfazed, and the perfectly innocent look in his eyes persisted.
He certainly wouldn’t admit that he had done it on purpose.
"Scold me a few times if it helps. It doesn’t hurt me." After a pause, he lowered his voice and asked, "Is the Commandery Princess sure she wants to endure it alone?"
