On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 434 Casual Confession

Chapter 434: Chapter 434 Casual Confession

Leng Yu Yan pushed hard against the person in front of her, but his chest seemed like an impenetrable wall of copper and iron. Out of desperation, she lifted her foot and stomped down hard on his toes.

However, the person didn’t seem to feel any pain, and deepened the kiss.

Just at that moment, Li Yuyue returned.

Upon seeing this, Song Guo, fearing that Li Yuyue would see the two masters still embracing each other inside the hall, hurriedly called out loudly, "Princely Heir, do you have some business?"

Upon hearing the reminder, Leng Yu Yan suddenly didn’t want the man to let her go, hoping her brother would see them, and her brother would certainly land a heavy punch on the man’s mouth.

Ye Yiheng sensed that she was no longer struggling and, while kissing, asked, "Would you like your uncle to see?"

Taking advantage of the moment he spoke, Leng Yu Yan forcefully pushed the person away, "Pervert!"

"You were hoping he would hit me, weren’t you?" Ye Yiheng looked at her lips, which had become even more rosy from the kiss, with satisfaction.

At this moment, Li Yuyue walked across the space in front of the hall and said to Song Guo, "It’s getting late; I’ve come to ask His Highness if he would stay in the mansion to have dinner tonight."

Song Guo looked up at the sky. It was already the afternoon when they had left the family dinner at the Imperial Palace, and they had spent time on the road. Adding in the time the masters had just spent in a secret conversation, it was indeed almost time to prepare dinner.

So, turning to the hall’s entrance, she bowed and asked, "Your Highness, will you dine at the Prince Mansion tonight?"

"Of course," replied Ye Yiheng, in a very good mood.

Leng Yu Yan came out stomping over the threshold, "Big brother, why are you keeping him?"

Li Yuyue was taken aback. Normally his sister would always invite someone for dinner, so why did it seem like today she was doing the opposite, as if she wanted to chase someone away?

The reason he was keeping Ye Yiheng for the meal was simply that he wanted Ye Yiheng to take his men along when sending someone to investigate the relationship between the Princess Consort, the Governor of Yaozhou, and Scar Face.

This way, he would get the news more directly, saving himself the need to ask Ye Yiheng.

Ye Yiheng walked out of the hall leisurely, "Thank you, Uncle, for the invitation. Will there be wine?"

"There will, of course, be wine," Li Yuyue replied with a rare smile.

It was proper to discuss matters over drinks.

--

During the evening meal, once the food and wine were set on the table, Li Yuyue poured wine for Ye Yiheng, and as he was about to pour wine into his own cup, the Ninth Princess arrived.

Ninth Princess lifted the hem of her dress as she entered the threshold and said with a smile, "Judging by the look on the Princely Heir’s face, am I unwelcome?"

Li Yuyue remained silent and filled his own cup to the brim.

Leng Yu Yan greeted Ninth Princess and had a maid hand her a pair of chopsticks and a bowl.

Ninth Princess happily sat down next to Leng Yu Yan and, upon doing so, just happened to catch Ye Yiheng staring at Leng Yu Yan.

Ninth Princess looked at Ye Yiheng in surprise and asked, "Sixth Brother, your eyes..."

She had always seen him with an eye veil before, but today he wasn’t wearing one. When he wore the eye veil, sometimes he moved as if he could see normally, and she had not found it strange at that time, knowing that his hearing was extraordinary.

But the scene she witnessed at that moment made Ninth Princess narrow her eyes slightly.

Song Guo was astute, and hurriedly attended to His Highness at his meal like they would do back in the palace, asking in a low voice, "Your Highness, do you want to tie on the eye veil?"

Ye Yiheng replied, "No need."

Today, in the presence of the old man, Ninth Princess had hidden the fact that Leng Yu Yan had healed her leg. So, at this point, there was no need for him to pretend to be a blind man.

Furthermore, Ji Qingyu knew that he could occasionally see, and Aunt had also been informed. As for Ninth Princess, from the letters she wrote to the present, it was not hard to see in many incidents that among the many siblings, she was one of the few who still had some genuine affection and conscience.

"Sixth Brother, can you see?" Ninth Princess lowered her voice, fearing that the servants would overhear.

Ye Yiheng simply nodded.

Ninth Princess exclaimed in surprise, "Were your eyes also healed by Ah Yan?"

"It hasn’t healed yet, Yanyan has been helping me with my eye," Ye Yiheng confessed. "I just don’t know when it might go blind again."

"It will definitely heal," Ninth Princess reassured.

She thought Ye Yiheng’s sight had only returned recently due to the treatment and asked, "Sixth Brother, seeing how beautiful Ah Yan is, do you like her a lot?"

"I told you already in the Imperial Palace today, didn’t I? I like her," Ye Yiheng said, taking a sip from his cup. "She doesn’t believe me."

Ninth Princess tilted her head to look at Leng Yu Yan, "Ah Yan, you heard that, right? My Sixth Brother says he likes you."

Leng Yu Yan found herself increasingly unable to understand him. Was this his way of confessing?

But in the palace in front of everyone, and now in front of her eldest brother and Ah Ju, plus the fact he spoke so carelessly and without proper form, it sounded to her like casual talk.

Leng Yu Yan added more food to Ninth Princess’s bowl: "Eat up."

After Ninth Princess took a bite, she raised her empty wine cup with a mischievous smile: "Princely Heir, I want to drink some wine too."

"What wine should a woman have?" Li Yuyue poured another cup for Ye Yiheng, deliberately ignoring the wine cup held by Ninth Princess. "Just eat your food."

"Who says women can’t drink wine?"

Ninth Princess snatched the wine pot and poured herself a drink, and not just that, she poured one for Leng Yu Yan as well.

Leng Yu Yan took a small sip and coughed a few times.

Seeing this, Li Yuyue frowned at Ninth Princess: "It’s all your fault, Ninth Princess. Let me tell you, don’t lead my sister astray."

Ninth Princess pursed her lips with a smile: "Why don’t you tell me, how could I possibly lead someone astray?"

She tilted her head back, draining the wine in her cup, and gave Li Yuyue a sultry look with her alluring eyes.

Li Yuyue abruptly recalled the incident with her lifting her skirt, and his face grew hot in an instant. After a light cough, he said to Leng Yu Yan in a gentle voice, "Little sister doesn’t drink wine. Drink less tonight, your big brother only allows you one cup."

Leng Yu Yan obediently nodded, touched the wine to her lips with her cup, then quietly licked the taste of wine from her lips.

The corners of her eyes shimmered with a hazy allure, and her lips, touched by the wine, radiated a glistening moistness.

Ye Yiheng’s eyes tightened slightly, and he cast his gaze downward to hide the predatory look that flashed across his eyes: "Poor tolerance for alcohol, yet such a craving for it."

Damn it!

Did she not realize that such actions, like beckoning with her finger, tempted him?

And yet, at that moment, he could make no intimate moves. It was truly vexing!

Ye Yiheng shifted his gaze to Ninth Princess: "Do not speak of my eye condition to anyone else."

"I know, Sixth Brother, don’t worry!" Ninth Princess picked up some food with her chopsticks. "Oh, that’s right. I came here to bring news."

Ye Yiheng inquired, "What is it?"

After Ninth Princess swallowed her food, she said, "Ye Shi didn’t return this time just for a family visit."

"Ye Shi?" Leng Yu Yan asked curiously.

"That’s my tenth sister," Ninth Princess explained. "Funny, isn’t it? The names Father Emperor chose for us sisters are that thoughtless."

Leng Yu Yan gave a faint smile: "It’s easy to remember."

Ninth Princess continued: "Ye Shi brought back Yu Haoqiong because Beiliang wants to establish another marriage alliance with Tiancheng. This time, it’s not about choosing a Princess of Marriage, but Beiliang is sending a princess here."

Ye Yiheng expressed his indifference: "There was no sign of any Beiliang Princess at the family banquet just now."

Ninth Princess added, "It’s because Ye Shi was so eager to scold me that she arrived before the Beiliang Princess. The Beiliang Princess is still on the way and will probably arrive in another two or three days. When she does, there will be quite the spectacle, as my brothers will surely be vying to marry the Beiliang Princess."

Ye Yiheng shook his head: "I’m not so sure about that."

"Why not?" Ninth Princess didn’t understand. "Wouldn’t that be an additional advantage for the princes?"
