On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 319: Kill the Abolished Crown Prince

Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Kill the Abolished Crown Prince

Eunuch Ye sneered with a laugh, "The imperial decree is personally written by the Emperor himself. How could an old servant like me possibly fathom His Majesty’s will?"

Ye Yiheng raised an eyebrow and extended his hand, "Why is the imperial decree not given to me, could it be that it wasn’t written by Father Emperor?"

Eunuch Ye said, "The Sixth Prince is blind, how could he read it?"

The phoenix eyes beneath Ye Yiheng’s eye veil flashed with a trace of cold light, "I want to see Father Emperor, to hear from his own mouth that only thusly I can be deposed!"

Eunuch Ye coldly jeered, "Is the Emperor someone whom the Abolished Crown Prince can see just by asking?"

At this time, Ye Gaoyun twirled the jade ring on his thumb, his eyes filled with malice, "Father Emperor is gravely ill, I’m afraid the Sixth Brother won’t be able to see Father Emperor now."

Ye Yiheng was full of disbelief, "Why would Father Emperor be gravely ill?"

"What’s so hard to understand about that?" Ye Gaoyun sneered contemptuously.

Ye Zhenxian shouted loudly, "A Dragon Robe was found in the Eastern Palace!"

"Knowing full well that he is blind and weak, the Sixth Brother won’t be Crown Prince for long, hence he prepared the Dragon Robe in advance. Once Father Emperor learned you had thoughts of usurping authority and plotting treason, he became gravely ill," Ye Gaoyun shouted, "Ye Yiheng, you’ve got some nerve!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yiheng laughed, a laugh full of splendid elegance, radiating thousands of glimmers.

"I have never prepared any Dragon Robe. When one wishes to impose a crime upon someone, why worry about not having a pretext? Ye Zhenxian, Ye Gaoyun, what have you two done to Father Emperor?"

Ye Zhenxian, seeing that Ye Yiheng was getting wise to something, leaned close to Ye Gaoyun and asked in a low voice, "Third Brother, what do we do now?"

Ye Gaoyun glanced at Eunuch Ye, then immediately walked to the side of a hall pillar.

Eunuch Ye, taking the hint, scoffed, "The Sixth Prince might as well go to Cining Palace to mourn the Empress Dowager. It’ll save you from being unable to pay respects when alive, hahahaha..."

Just then, the sound of Ye Gaoyun tossing a Luminous Lamp echoed.

In an instant, a large group of soldiers clad in Imperial Army armor flooded into the hall...

Mo Chen and others immediately surrounded Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan in the middle, Ruofeng said, "Your Highness, Commandery Princess, you go first!"

Before Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan could speak, they heard Eunuch Ye laughing even more, "The Abolished Crown Prince will probably not be able to go before the Empress Dowager to mourn. Truly an unfilial descendant!"

Ye Gaoyun looked at Ye Yiheng with murderous intent in his eyes, "Today, not only will Father Emperor depose you, but he’ll also take pleasure in having you killed!"

Just earlier, the Princes who had followed into the Xiande Hall scattered with Eunuch Ye, hiding where they could, fleeing where they could, leaving only the Second Prince, Ye Zhenxian, and the Third Prince, Ye Gaoyun standing there.

Ye Zhenxian harrumphed, "Kill Ye Yiheng for me, but leave Leng Yu Yan alive!"

Even if he was deposed, he didn’t believe he couldn’t play her to death!

After roaring these words, Ye Zhenxian jumped behind the Imperial Army’s shields and hid like a coward.

Several hundred men disguised as the Imperial Army charged straight at the nine people inside the hall, including Ye Yiheng.

Not only that, they also prepared ice water, specifically to throw at Ye Yiheng.

The scene inside the hall could not simply be described as glinting blades and shadowed swords, blood rain and a wind of gore.

After marching urgently for half a month to reach the Capital City without resting, they encountered such slaughter. Mo Chen and others, who were usually skilled fighters, were clearly not as brave as before due to their exhaustion.

Ice water was thrown onto Ye Yiheng, causing his cold disease to act up. Though he was normally capable of easily taking on hundreds with his skills, the cold disease rendered him unable to use them.

Leng Yu Yan stood in front of him, but because his opponents were tall and long-legged, all the ice water was aimed at him, and his body was continuously drenched in the cold water.

Never before so enraged, had Ye Zhenxian not fled at this moment, Leng Yu Yan was determined to tear him limb from limb.

She fought against the enemies while occasionally checking on Ye Yiheng’s condition.

Ye Yiheng, enduring his cold disease, swung out palm after palm, but with each additional swing, the cold disease escalated.

"Your Highness, you go first!"

"No, Yanyan, you go first!"

Leng Yu Yan said urgently, "You can’t keep fighting and draining your inner strength, Your Highness!"

If this continued, when his cold disease flared to its peak, even she would be helpless.

Just then, a sword slashed towards Leng Yu Yan from behind.

Ye Yiheng extended his long arm, pulling her into his embrace, and spun around, his back taking a slash from the sword.

"Your Highness!"

Leng Yu Yan, who was in his arms, cried out in shock and pulled a silver needle from her sleeve, charging straight for the assailant’s neck.

The man clutched his neck with a muffled groan and collapsed with a thud.

Ye Zhenxian, hiding outside the hall, touched his own neck; this little wife Leng Yu Yan indeed had some skills.

But today, he was determined to have this woman!

Ye Gaoyun’s eyes narrowed further; his estimate had not been wrong—Ye Yiheng indeed had skills. Fortunately, he had prepared ice water in advance; otherwise, the situation would have turned.

Half an hour later, several hundred soldiers of the Imperial Army inside the hall were lying about in disarray.

Ye Gaoyun and Ye Zhenxian quickly fled.

Ye Yiheng, hearing more troops approaching from outside, said in a deep voice, "Use Qinggong to escape!"

Mo Chen Ruofeng carried Song Guo, and Liu Yan Yinsuang carried Miao Zhu, as the group of nine flew out from beyond the hall’s doors.

Before long, arrows were flying towards their silhouettes...

After several rooftop jumps, they finally landed in an inconspicuous courtyard in the suburb.

Leng Yu Yan saw that besides the protected Song Guo and Miao Zhu, Mo Chen, Ruofeng, Liu Yan, and Yinsuang all had arrows stuck in them, and Ling Lang also had an arrow wound on his arm.

Just then, Ye Yiheng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Leng Yu Yan, holding his arm, felt a sudden tightness in her heart: "Your Highness, what’s wrong with you?"

Ye Yiheng’s eyes closed, and he fell toward the ground.

She was unable to hold him due to his weight; embracing him halfway, she fell seated on the ground.

What she saw was a startling gash across his back, with two arrows stuck in it, while her own body was completely unharmed.

Her slender fingers trembling, Leng Yu Yan cried out as she touched his back: "Your Highness..."

His cold disease had flared up, and even as they were fleeing, he had still been protecting her!

"Someone, quickly, someone!" Her tears began to flow like a breached dam, "Song Guo, Miao Zhu!"

Hearing her, Song Guo and Miao Zhu rushed over immediately; Ling Lang snapped the arrow on his arm and also hurried over.

Seeing the wound on Ye Yiheng’s back, Miao Zhu took out the Commandery Princess’s medical kit she carried with her and pressed a gauze to his wound.

Song Guo and Ling Lang, one on each side, lifted Ye Yiheng into the house and laid him face-down on the bed in the room.

Ye Yiheng was in critical condition with his severe injuries, and his cold disease reaching a critical point aggravated the situation; Leng Yu Yan was overcome with grief but forced herself to stay calm.

After taking a deep breath, she said calmly, "Ling Lang, do you know how to treat an arrow wound?"

Ling Lang was ashamed, "For non-fatal places, like the arm, I can handle it. But for the back, I am incapable. Right now, I can’t even manage the one on my arm, Commandery Princess; what should we do?"

Leng Yu Yan looked around and said, "Then those of you who have been hit by an arrow must wait for a while; I must first tend to His Highness’s injuries."

Mo Chen said, "Naturally, His Highness’s injuries should be attended to first."

"Please, Commandery Princess, treat His Highness’s wounds first!" exclaimed Ruofengqi, swinging a fist but then, wincing due to pulling his injury, clenched his teeth and said, "They were despicable to pour ice water on us earlier!"

Leng Yu Yan took the medical kit, cleaned her hands, and pulled out an anesthesia pill to place it into the already unconscious Ye Yiheng’s mouth.

Ling Lang asked, "Commandery Princess, what medicine is that?"

"For anesthesia."

Without lifting her head, Leng Yu Yan checked the depth of the arrow’s penetration into the skin, took out a self-made surgical knife to disinfect it, and then carefully made a small incision on Ye Yiheng’s skin...
