On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 412: Thunderous Wrist

Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Thunderous Wrist

The Emperor cast a disdainful glance at Eunuch Ye on the ground, then promptly boarded the imperial carriage.

On the imperial carriage, the Emperor turned his head to the side, not looking at Ye Yiheng, "Ah Heng, as the Crown Prince, it is your inescapable responsibility to purge the palace of rebels!"

"Yes, Father Emperor."

Ye Yiheng bowed his hands, his handsome eyes beneath the eye veil coldly watching the Emperor depart on the imperial carriage.

After standing in the cold palace for a moment, Ye Yiheng returned to Xiande Hall.

As soon as he stepped in, he heard Leng Yu Yan speaking to Li Yuyue, "Brother, His Highness previously had a sword injury on his back along with two arrow wounds. Help me replicate them on this person."

As she spoke, her little hands gestured the length of the sword injury.

"That’s easy to handle," said Li Yuyue, nodding his head and turning to command Gao Yuan and Mi Xinrong, "Strip his clothes."

Gao Yuan and Mi Xinrong promptly stripped Ye Gaoyun of his clothes.

Ye Gaoyun roared with eyes about to split, "I am a Prince, Li Yuyue, you have a big gall to treat me like this!"

"You dare to issue a warrant for my sister; whence came such gall, Ye Gaoyun?"

Li Yuyue scoffed with disdain and personally took up a sword, slashing it down...

The sword’s clang echoed, and the cut across Ye Gaoyun’s back suddenly split open, instantly oozing blood.

Controlled by Gao Yuan and Mi Xinrong, Ye Gaoyun clenched his fists, continuously hurling insults.

Li Yuyue acted as if he hadn’t heard, grabbed an arrow, and fiercely drove it into Ye Gaoyun’s back.

Ye Gaoyun spat blood and was about to curse again when Li Yuyue pulled out the arrow feather, throwing the attached flesh and blood at Ye Gaoyun’s face.

"You really have some gall, daring to imprison Ye Jiu."

With that, he thrust the arrow feather into Ye Gaoyun’s back again.

He then turned his head to ask Leng Yu Yan, "Sister, do you think the wound looks nice?"

"Beautiful, the wounds brother made are beautiful," Leng Yu Yan smiled broadly, leaning down to look at Ye Gaoyun. "The men of the Ye Family all have good skin, but you are far less than Crown Prince, this type of wound on your back is far from as good-looking as those on His Highness."

"Leng Yu Yan, you crazy woman!"

Ye Gaoyun, his mouth full of fresh blood, spat it out, aiming it at Leng Yu Yan, when Ye Yiheng teleported instantly, lifting her two steps away.

Just then, a seductive yet crisp female voice came from not far away, "Sixth Brother, Heir Lai, Ah Yan!"

Leng Yu Yan followed the direction of the voice and saw Ye Jiu, being pushed in her wheelchair by a palace maid.

"Ah Jiu!"

Leng Yu Yan quickly walked over and took control of the wheelchair from the palace maid.

Ye Jiu looked up at her, then glanced at Ye Yiheng and lastly stared fixedly at Li Yuyue, "Heir had just avenged me; I am so happy!"

She had just listened outside the wall, hearing Li Yuyue mention her, and her heart felt like it might soar.

Li Yuyue frowned and said sternly, "This place is bloody and messy; let’s leave quickly."

Ye Yiheng turned his head to speak to Liu Yun and Yin Shuang, "Escort the Princess and Commandery Princess out of the palace first."

"Agreed," said Li Yuyue, pointing and ordering, "Gao Yuan, arrange a team to escort the Princess and the Commandery Princess to the Prince Mansion."

Leng Yu Yan said, "Your Highness, brother, I want to stay here and watch you."

Ye Yiheng hugged her and pecked her forehead lightly, "Be obedient, right now, we need to purge the rebels; you and Ah Jiu return to the Prince Mansion first."

Leng Yu Yan stood rooted to the spot, and in such circumstances, he had kissed her forehead in front of so many people!

Seeing this, Ye Jiu giggled, "If Heir Lai also kisses me, I’ll be even more obedient than Ah Yan."

"Scram!" Lai Yuyue’s face darkened as if it were the bottom of a pot, "If you say another word, don’t even go to the Prince Mansion, go straight back to your Xingning Palace."

Ye Jiu shook his head and tugged on Leng Yu Yan’s hand, mouthing, "Let’s go, let’s leave quickly."

The two were escorted by Liu Yun and others as they left the Xiande Hall.

Inside the hall, Ye Yiheng and Lai Yuyue each sat on an armchair.

Ye Gaoyun, unable to bear the pain, spat blood and barked, "Kill me or flay me, just make it quick!"

Ye Yiheng removed the white eye veil in front of him and said coldly, "Third brother, no rush. My people make human skin lanterns very quickly; just hold on."

Ye Gaoyun was horrified, "Ye Yiheng, you can see?"

"Yes, I can clearly see how Third Brother will turn into a lantern."

Ye Yiheng smiled, radiating charisma, his contempt for the world evident.

He moved his long fingers, as white as jade, and the Hidden Guard behind him stepped forward, aiming a dagger at Ye Gaoyun’s back...

Soon after leaving the Xiande Hall, Leng Yu Yan and Ye Jiu heard a piercing scream reaching the heavens.

In just one day, Lai Yuyue and Ye Yiheng used decisive measures to purge Ye Gaoyun’s private soldiers. The soldiers who surrendered were exiled to the barbaric lands overnight, and the filthy Imperial Palace was cleansed.

As night deepened and snow fluttered, covering the capital city in a blanket of white, all seemed peaceful and serene. Unbeknownst to many, a fiercer undercurrent of unknown dangers was surging.

For Lai Yuyue’s six thousand elite soldiers, Ye Yiheng specifically pointed out a plot of land in the suburbs for their camp, where they could train daily.

Having dealt with these matters, the two returned to the Prince Zhenbei Mansion in the capital by the early hours of the next morning.

--

The next morning, when Leng Yu Yan did not see Lai Yuyue, she asked someone nearby, "Where is the Princely Heir?"

A servant respectfully said, "The Princely Heir and the Crown Prince went to the palace early this morning for the morning court session."

"Why does the Crown Prince also stay in our Prince Mansion?"

"It’s said that the Eastern Palace has not been cleaned for a long time; he is temporarily residing in the Prince Mansion."

Leng Yu Yan then asked, "Is the Ninth Princess not up yet?"

The servant shook his head, "No, she waited for the Princely Heir until late last night and went to sleep at dawn, she’s still asleep."

"Alright, I understand. You may leave."

As soon as Leng Yu Yan finished speaking, an imperial decree of marriage arrived at the palace.

The Emperor once again bestowed her to be married to Ye Yiheng as the Crown Princess Consort.

Upon receiving the decree this time, Leng Yu Yan’s face remained calm, but uncontrollably, her heart stirred significantly.

The marriage bestowed so swiftly, what had someone done?

At this moment in the palace.

In front of the civil and military officials, the Emperor affirmed the merits of the Tiansheng Crown Prince, Ye Yiheng, and the Heir of Prince Zhenbei, Lai Yuyue, explicitly nullifying the rumors about the Abolished Crown Prince and declaring to the world the marriage of Princess Beilan to Crown Prince Ye Yiheng.

The civil and military officials looked at each other.

After a bizarre silence, the officials congratulated in unison, "Congratulations to Your Highness the Crown Prince, congratulations Heir Lai!"

Then a sudden voice arose, "Last night, the Third Prince’s dead body was made into a human skin lantern, displayed at his residence. With such methods, should Your Highness the Crown Prince and Heir Lai not explain?"

Lai Yuyue demanded, "How should we explain?"

That person said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is supposed to be Tiansheng’s Crown Prince, ought to worry about the country and its people, harbor compassion. Among brothers, you should be more respectful; it’s inappropriate to treat the Third Prince like this!"

Ye Hiheng casually responded, "I’m blind; Third Brother volunteered to light the lantern to illuminate my path, helping me see clearly who truly is loyal to Tiancheng and who harbors duplicitous intentions."

Upon hearing this, many officials already covertly aligned with Ye Gaoyun shivered in fear.
