On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 398: Outrageous Matter

Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Outrageous Matter

Looking at the Leng Family four brothers’ expressions, Song Guo couldn’t help but interject, "Princely Heir, gentlemen, why are you all so surprised? If His Highness and the Commandery Princess hadn’t gone to the capital city, they might already be married by now. They are fiancés after all, so traveling together is perfectly normal!"

Compared to the calm expressions of the Leng Family elders, the four brothers each wore a terrible look on their faces.

Leng Yuqing looked somewhat better, relatively gentle; the twins had identical faces, both looking equally sour; but the worst was Li Yuyue, not just stern-faced, but with a bone-deep murderous intent evident on his face.

In Song Guo’s view, it would be best for His Highness and the Commandery Princess to get married with the approval and blessings of the entire Leng Family, and now was a good opportunity.

Song Guo, serving as a eunuch, naturally considered what His Highness might be too embarrassed to say, being urgently concerned on His Highness’s behalf!

Ignoring their scowls, Song Guo continued, "On our way back, His Highness and the Commandery Princess were sleeping in one..."

Bed.

Before he could finish, Miao Zhu covered his mouth.

Miao Zhu pulled the corners of her mouth into an awkward smile, "That’s not the case, not at all!"

Even though Miao Zhu didn’t let Song Guo finish, the Lai Family understood.

Lai Ran’s face darkened instantly, "Your Highness, you..."

He nearly said it but couldn’t bring himself to ask.

Feeling like his precious daughter had been tainted by a worthless suitor, his heart as a father felt icy cold.

"Your Highness, sister, did you sleep together?"

Li Yuyue blurted out the question Lai Ran couldn’t ask.

Ye Yiheng calmly admitted, "Yes!"

Leng Yu Yan hurriedly waved her hands, anxiously saying, "Father King, big brother, it’s not what you think."

Miao Zhu quickly helped explain, "On our way back, we were escaping danger, and many things were done out of expedience. Moreover, the maid personally saw that during our journey back in the horse carriage, the Commandery Princess and His Highness slept separately under different blankets."

Li Yuyue snorted, "That was after you regrouped, what about before then?"

Unable to answer, Miao Zhu could only bow her head and stand aside.

Ye Yiheng stood up and addressed Lai Taihong and Lai Ran, "Grandfather, Father-in-law, throughout this journey, my actions were led by emotion but restrained by propriety."

However, the Leng Family four brothers were skeptical. Even though they knew Ye Yiheng wasn’t capable, a desperate man is still a man.

If a man wanted intimacy, there were countless ways to achieve it, especially someone as shrewd and crafty as Ye Yiheng!

Old Princess Consort and Yun Family beckoned Leng Yu Yan over, signaling her to come to them.

Leng Yu Yan then moved her feet, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, each holding her by one side, took her into the inner room.

Once in the inner room, Leng Yu Yan explained in a low voice, "Grandmother, mother, I am innocent with His Highness."

Old Princess Consort smiled and nodded, "Grandmother knows!"

The Crown Prince has a hidden condition, how could he possibly do that with Yan’er? Naturally, he couldn’t.

Just those old men worrying for nothing!

Yun Family was unaware of Ye Yiheng’s hidden condition, and at that moment, her gaze towards Leng Yu Yan was filled with worry.

Her own daughter, delicate as a flower, if she had experienced such things before marriage, it would pain a mother’s heart greatly.

Thus, she rolled up Leng Yu Yan’s sleeve, and seeing the bright red virginity mark perfectly intact on her daughter’s pale, jade-like arm, Yun Family’s worry completely faded.

"Child, when you get married, your mother will give you some precious treasures she has kept."

Leng Yu Yan puzzled, "What treasures?"

Yun Family just smiled and did not answer.

The Old Princess Consort laughed, her eyes creasing: "You’ll know when you get married."

Whether that thing works or not, who knows? After all, the Crown Prince, that man...

Never mind, never mind, the Crown Prince was clever enough to figure something out himself. Why should an old woman like her worry?

After they left the inner room, Lai Taihong spoke up: "Alright, alright, there’s urgency at hand. I believe in Yan’er’s character, as well as in His Highness. It’s getting late; Your Highness and Yan’er should rest first, and tonight we, the Lai Family, will have a reunion dinner. As for how to handle the capital city’s issues, we’ll discuss them tomorrow."

Everyone agreed.

Leng Yu Yan, assisted by Miao Zhu, returned to her own courtyard.

Ye Yiheng intended to return to the guest house, but he was stopped on the way by the four Lai brothers.

Song Guo stood by Ye Yiheng’s side: "Princely Heir, Second Young Master, Third Young Master, Fourth Young Master, please speak."

Li Yuyue clenched his fists, then pushed Song Guo aside and gazed directly into Ye Yiheng’s eyes: "Ye Yiheng, be honest, what have you done to our sister?"

For the first time, he addressed him by his first name, and both Leng Yuqing and the twins couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, admiring their eldest brother’s boldness!

Ye Yiheng said indifferently: "Are you expecting me to confess that Yanyan and I have developed a deep intimate relationship before you believe it?"

His words caught the four Lai brothers off guard.

After a long contemplation, none of them had anything to say.

Neither the Princely Heir nor their sister admitted to having done anything unsuitable. Could it be that they had to force a confession to be satisfied?

Coming back to their senses, the four brothers awkwardly squeezed out smiles that were polite despite the discomfort.

Ye Yiheng shook his head, smiled, and said: "However, I can tell you that along the way here, Yanyan made me a shoulder scarf and two outer shirts. Do you have any?"

With that, Ye Yiheng casually walked away.

The four Lai brothers, furious, punched the tree trunks.

That scoundrel Ye Yiheng, they didn’t have any clothes hand-made by their sister, yet he had three!

Song Guo glanced at the complex and dramatic expressions of the four Lai brothers and hurried after Ye Yiheng.

"Your Highness is impressive!"

Ye Yiheng spoke softly: "Go to the carriage, take Yanyan’s luggage to her, and oh, bring the comb too."

"Right away, I will obey!" Song Guo ran off excitedly.

--

In the capital city, the Imperial Palace.

Ye Gaoyun had been quite agitated these past few days, even snapping at Ye Zhenxian when he wanted help investigating his case involving the brothel.

His staff tried to soothe him: "Your Highness, please do not be angry!"

"How can I not be angry? It’s almost the end of the year, and there’s still no word from Ye Yiheng. How can I not be angry?"

The staff suggested further: "The Abolished Crown Prince was severely injured; he might not even be alive anymore, hence no news. Otherwise, it’s impossible that there’s no news at all."

Ye Gaoyun slammed the table in anger: "Alive, I want to see him; dead, I want to see his body. I don’t think he died easily. As we approach year’s end, he could be hiding in any corner."

"Your Highness, our men have been searching the inns on the official roads and the villages around the capital city, but the efforts in other provinces are not as extensive. We believe we should search the villages in every province."

Ye Gaoyun nodded: "You speak wisely. Ye Yiheng is cunning, undoubtedly hiding in some deep mountain or old forest."

"But this could take too long," the staff added. "I think you should still find Mr. Yan sooner to draft the decree. Once Your Highness officially becomes the Crown Prince, it will reassure the people. As for dealing with the Abolished Crown Prince, we can take our time."

A flicker of cunning shone in Ye Gaoyun’s eyes, and he asked in a deep voice: "Those two word parchments, that old thing, where did he get them from? Have we found out anything?"

Recently, he had someone examine the word parchments and noted that the handwriting in one was more exquisite than in the other.

More importantly, this one differed significantly from the exclusive writings of Mr. Yan available on the market.
