On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 324 Willing to Follow Me

Chapter 324: Chapter 324 Willing to Follow Me

Suburban Mansion.

Ye Yiheng looked towards An Shiqi and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the Dark Guard Bureau? What exactly happened in the Imperial Palace?"

An Shiqi, with a bandage around his neck, held his injured arm inside it.

Facing Your Highness’s question, he knelt down respectfully, tears streaming, "The power of the Eastern Palace has been scattered, those Hidden Guards who are alive are in hiding."

"The Emperor is likely restricted by the Third Prince, who claims to the public that the Emperor is seriously ill; whether this is true or not, I do not know."

"The Imperial Palace and capital are now completely under the Third Prince’s control, all those Imperial Army members are his personal troops in disguise. Currently, both the Imperial Palace and the capital city are heavily guarded, with tens of thousands of troops."

"Your Highness, please instruct," An Shiqi bowed his head.

Ye Yiheng spoke lightly, "Father Emperor took elixirs for longevity. Most of these elixirs came from Ye Gaoyun’s men. Now that Ye Gaoyun has made his move... hmm..."

Unexpectedly, Ye Gaoyun launched a palace coup while he was away from the capital.

Ji Qingyu suddenly spoke up, "Father King took elixirs?"

Hearing this, Ye Yiheng shifted his gaze towards Ji Qingyu, "What are you doing here?"

Leng Yu Yan said, "Your Highness, Qingyu brought back two horse carriages from the Eastern Palace."

Ye Yiheng frowned, "That’s not good! With the carriages sent back, this place might soon be exposed!"

Ji Qingyu sighed, "I only thought of the luggage in the carriages. When I took the carriages at the palace gates, I was disguised, so I thought it won’t be found so soon."

"Reporting a death in Beilan City, at that time I did not know I was being used by Ye Gaoyun." He paused, then continued, "Ye Yiheng, no matter what you think, I have no intention of framing you!"

Ye Yiheng walked over and patted his shoulder, just like when they were children, "I know."

"There’s a medical kit in the carriage belonging to Yanyan; I appreciate this!"

It was rare for him to receive such thanks; Ji Qingyu was astonished, "Given the current situation, there’s only so much I can do."

Though he was unaware of the affair between Ye Zhenxian and Ye Gaoyun, after all, it was his own trip to Beilan City that had led Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan to plot their return to the capital. Thinking of this made him feel guilty.

Although they were adversaries, and to some extent love rivals, he did not wish his death.

After pondering for a moment, Ji Qingyu added, "Now is the time for you to make decisions. I will leave now; where you go, you don’t need to tell me. That’s safer."

Saying this, he walked out with Leng Song.

Stopping at the doorway, he turned his head, "Ah Heng, take good care of Ah Yan!"

Ah Yan could no longer stay in the capital; only today had he learned that previously Ye Zhenzhen had administered Extreme Joy Powder to Ah Yan.

Under such circumstances, it was best for Ah Yan to leave the capital for now.

As for Ye Zhenzhen, let’s see if he could manage to kill him!

Ye Yiheng nodded, "Take care of yourself too!"

"Hmm!" Ji Qingyu then stepped forward.

"Wait, Qingyu." Leng Yu Yan took a jade bottle from Miao Zhu, poured out two pills, and hurried over.

Ji Qingyu’s face showed a warm smile, "Ah Yan?"

"You sent the carriages back, which had my medical kit inside. I truly appreciate this!" She placed the pills into his palm, "Carry these two pills with you. If you’re gravely injured, take one; it can save your life!"

"Okay!" Ji Qingyu squeezed the pills, waved at Ye Yiheng, "I know you can see this."

Ye Yiheng grunted, "Hurry up and go!"

If he didn’t leave, he would become jealous.

Ji Qingyu chuckled lightly, and along with Leng Song, disappeared into the night.

Only one lamp remained lit in the house, the rest had been extinguished.

Everyone gathered together, discussing how to deal with the current situation.

An Shiqi said, "Your Highness, the decree to abolish the Crown Prince has already been distributed throughout Tiancheng, and the situation is very difficult now."

Just then, there was a bang in the courtyard.

Mo Chen, on alert, realized it was An Ershijiu.

An Ershijiu entered, bowed with hands clasped, "Your Highness, the assassination decree against you has been sent out all over Tiancheng overnight. Where can you hide?"

Ye Yiheng furrowed his brows, "Father Emperor has been taking elixirs for a long time and is controlled by the Third Prince. I’m afraid this decree to abolish the Crown Prince is the Third Prince’s idea. Now, the Imperial Palace and the capital city are full of the Third Prince’s private soldiers. To turn defeat into victory is indeed..."

Princes, including the Crown Prince, were not allowed to maintain private armies.

Just this point alone would be a capital offense for the Third Prince.

But since the aged Emperor was under the control of the Third Prince, it wasn’t easy to charge the Third Prince with a crime.

Leng Yu Yan interrupted him, "Your Highness, our only chance to win is to seek help from external forces!"

Everyone looked towards Leng Yu Yan.

Leng Yu Yan continued, "Your Highness, follow me back to Beilan City. With me there, Father King will surely agree to send troops!"

Mo Chen said, "Good, Commandery Princess has a good plan!"

Ruofeng, worried, raised a point, "Commandery Princess’s idea is good, but the Northern Garrison troops can’t easily come to the capital unless there’s an imperial decree. It’s the rule."

Leng Yu Yan calmly stated, "To purge the court of evil and rid it of treacherous officials, we have a legitimate reason, it wouldn’t be breaking the rules."

Ye Yiheng, not wanting to involve her further, said, "Mo Chen, Ruofeng, Liu Yun, and Yin Shuang, you four escort the Commandery Princess back to Beilan City. As for the capital, I will handle it myself."

"No!" Leng Yu Yan grasped his hand, "Your Highness, how will you handle it?"

"Even if the forces of the Dark Guard Bureau can still be assembled, how to confront tens of thousands?"

"The Second and Third Princes are targeting me specifically. As long as I show up, you will be safe," Ye Yiheng clenched her hand back, "Once you leave, I will find a way to protect myself!"

"No!" Leng Yu Yan shook her head, tears quickly welling up in her eyes, "Winter is coming, and the cold disease is hard to bear. Without me, what will Your Highness do?"

Seeing her slightly reddened eyes and trembling tears, Ye Yiheng’s heart tightened, his grip on her hand tightened as well.

"If you accompany me, even though the journey to Beilan City to seek help, as you suggested, will undoubtedly be difficult, are you willing to endure hardships with me?"

Leng Yu Yan nodded seriously, "I am willing!"

Hearing these words, Ye Yiheng, disregarding the wounds on his back, clenched his wrist and pulled her into his embrace.

Those around them bowed their heads, pretending not to see.

After a long while, he finally released her.

He solemnly instructed, "An Shiqi, An Ershijiu, the two of you stay in the capital to gather the original forces of the Dark Guard Bureau. Continue to gather information about the Imperial Palace and the capital city. Wait for my return!"

"Be careful to stay hidden, and don’t lose another Hidden Guard!"

The two acknowledged with a bow and then left.

Mo Chen suggested, "Your Highness, I think we need to split up for this journey."

Ling Lang added, "The nine of us traveling together makes too big of a target. I think, the seven of us should split into two groups to divert those pursuing us."

"Your Highness has injuries and the cold disease is acting up; you urgently need rest and recuperation. The Commandery Princess can take care of Your Highness."

"In this way, we will act separately and head to Beilan City!"

Hearing this, Ye Yiheng nodded, "Just be very careful in your actions!"

Leng Yu Yan opened the jade bottle and gave each of the seven people two pills.

Miao Zhu, looking at the pill in her palm, tearfully said, "Commandery Princess, aren’t these the life-saving pills you painstakingly made? Are you just going to distribute them now?"

"It’s alright, I still have a few more."

Leng Yu Yan shook the jade bottle, creating a clear sound within.

Mo Chen murmured, "Life-saving pills?"
