On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 436: Staying Overnight

Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Staying Overnight

Leng Yu Yan hurriedly said, "No, Ah Ju, it’s not what you think."

Ye Jiu laughed with profound meaning, "Then, what is it?"

Miao Zhu then realized that the Ninth Princess was unaware of the situation between the Commandery Princess and the Crown Prince. So, she explained, "The maid can testify that the Princess and His Highness slept in separate blankets."

"Look at that, so you have slept together already!" Ye Jiu laughed unrestrained and soon lowered her voice and leaned into Leng Yu Yan’s ear, "What exactly do you do when sleeping together?"

Leng Yu Yan glanced at her, "Ah Ju, I think it’s better for you to return to the palace."

"Don’t be angry, everyone in Tiancheng knows about Sixth Brother’s condition, what else could he do?" Ye Jiu covered her lips and laughed again, "Considering how pitiable Sixth Brother is, I’ll give the place back to him."

Moreover, given Li Yuyue’s personality, if Sixth Brother really did anything to Ah Yan, Heir Lai would certainly not agree. Since the two men had come together, it indicated that Heir Lai trusted his younger sister with Sixth Brother.

Ye Jiu sighed in her heart, poor Sixth Brother, facing Ah Yan, a beauty beyond compare, he could only look, and at most touch, but absolutely couldn’t have her.

With this thought, Ye Jiu briskly got out of bed and, with Miao Zhu’s help, put on a cloak and left the bedroom.

Miao Zhu was still in the bedroom. She walked to the bedside and apologized, "Commandery Princess, the maid was wrong, I misspoke earlier."

"Did you say earlier what His Highness told you to say?"

"Yes!" Miao Zhu nodded, "The maid relayed it word for word, not expecting the Ninth Princess..."

"It doesn’t matter," Leng Yu Yan waved her hand, "Go and bring out another blanket from the chest."

Ye Jiu had already reached the outer room, where she first bemusedly made faces at Ye Yiheng, "Sixth Brother, your eyes have seen, seems like you’ve become quite enlightened."

Ye Yiheng choked, paused briefly, and scolded with a cold voice, "Do not let me remind you a second time about the matter of the eyes."

Ye Jiu stuck out her tongue, "Isn’t this Ah Yan’s courtyard? I will definitely be careful next time!"

Then, she giggled at Li Yuyue, "Heir Lai, I don’t want to sleep in the guest house, it’s too cold."

Li Yuyue’s face was expressionless, "The capital city is warmer than Beilan City."

Ye Yiheng paid no attention to Ye Jiu, and with a gesture to Li Yuyue, he went to Leng Yu Yan’s room.

Li Yuyue nodded, then immediately stepped away.

Ye Jiu quickly trotted after him, "Princely Heir, don’t walk so fast."

"It’s getting late, I should also rest," Li Yuyue kept walking.

Ye Jiu complained, "My legs have just recovered, I shouldn’t run."

"I didn’t ask you to run," Li Yuyue hummed, but his pace slowed down after all.

Seeing this, Ye Jiu felt a burst of happiness and quickly caught up, "Can I spend the night at your place?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuyue’s face instantly turned cold, and the pace he had just slowed quickened immediately.

How can someone be so shameless?

Is she even a woman?

On the other side, Ye Yiheng reached Leng Yu Yan’s bedroom, frowning at the two blankets on the bed. One of the blankets was still neatly folded, obviously just taken out of the chest.

"You sleep with Ah Ju under the same blanket, but with me, we have to use separate blankets?"

This is too unfair!

Leng Yu Yan kept reading her book, not even sparing a glance at certain someone, and said indifferently, "Considering it’s late, Your Highness, I’ve allowed you to stay. If you’re not satisfied, you’re free to leap through the window and return to the Eastern Palace."

What exactly does he want? Making Miao Zhu pass on such a message, with Ye Jiu listening, who knows what she might think.

The atmosphere in the room began to tense as though swords were drawn, but concerning the matter of their master’s intimacy, it was not Miao Zhu’s place to interject. At this moment, it was wisest for her to quietly back out of the room.

Miao Zhu quietly retreated, closed the room door behind her, and just as quietly shut it.

Ye Yiheng walked over slowly, returned the neatly folded blanket back to the chest, then sat on the edge of the bed, ready to get in.

Leng Yu Yan kicked him in the buttocks, "Aren’t you going to wash up?"

Through the blanket, he clamped her ankle, "Leng Yu Yan, you’ve grown bold."

"I don’t care, this is my room, so naturally, I call the shots." Leng Yu Yan glared at him, "You’re not going to wash?"

"Of course, I’ll wash." Ye Yiheng got up and adeptly summoned the servants to bring water for washing.

Meanwhile, Ye Jiu was closely following Li Yuyue.

Li Yuyue had reached his own courtyard with a certain woman still following him; he had no choice but to ask begrudgingly, "Aren’t you going back to the guesthouse?"

Ye Jiu gathered her cloak around her, "Princely Heir, please, take me in."

"The guesthouse is taking you in too."

"I want to stay in your room." Ye Jiu put it bluntly.

Li Yuyue said sternly, "Ye Jiu, have some shame!"

"I’m only like this with you, what do you mean ’have some shame’?" Ye Jiu complained, shivering with a sudden blast of cold wind, she stamped her feet, "I’m so cold."

Li Yuyue didn’t say a word, quickly went back into the room, came out with a blanket, and wrapped Ye Jiu from head to toe in a flurried rush.

Ye Jiu’s heart pounded fiercely, he was showing concern for her!

The next moment, Li Yuyue swept her up in his arms, and Ye Jiu pressed her lips together with a smile, her heart blooming with joy.

She nestled her head against his chest, feeling the strong and steady beat of his heart through the blanket, and shyly pursed her lips.

Li Yuyue carried her to the guesthouse.

Because the blanket covered her head and she couldn’t see her surroundings, Ye Jiu only felt that he carried her for an especially long journey.

At first, she relished his embrace, but then it dawned on her—

In his courtyard, the walk to his room should’ve been quick, so why had they been on the road for so long?

Just as Ye Jiu realized this, Li Yuyue threw her onto the guesthouse bed, blanket and all.

Her body ached as Ye Jiu struggled out of the blanket, only to discover she was back in the guesthouse where she had stayed a few days before.

"Li Yuyue, do you have no sense of romance at all?"

"What is ’sense of romance’?" Li Yuyue raised an eyebrow, "And who are you to me, ’I’ being the Princely Heir?"

Ye Jiu was left speechless, and after a long pause finally said, "Ah Yan and my Sixth Brother sleep together, why don’t you object?"

Li Yuyue said gravely, "They’re betrothed, why should I oppose?"

His sister and Ye Yiheng had shared a bed when they escaped back to the capital city; moreover, Ye Yiheng was impotent, and since they shared the bed with separate blankets, the family did not object, so as the eldest brother, he turned a blind eye.

However, he saw no need to elaborate on the specific reasons to Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu muttered, "I want to be betrothed to you too."

As she spoke, she got off the bed and reached for Li Yuyue’s hand.

Li Yuyue intended to pull away, but this woman’s hand was ice cold, and his attempt to break free paused instantly.

With such cold weather, she was only dressed in a nightgown with a cloak, having walked quite a distance in the courtyard. With that thought, Li Yuyue unexpectedly gathered both her hands in his palm.

Seeing this, Ye Jiu was so moved she began to cry, her tears dropping continuously on the back of Li Yuyue’s hand.

His voice deepened, "Why are you crying? I haven’t bullied you!"

"After my mother passed away, no one has warmed my hands," Ye Jiu sniffled, then asked excitedly, "Princely Heir, is this the first time you’ve warmed a woman’s hands?"

Li Yuyue honestly replied, "No."

Forgetting her tears, Ye Jiu felt a pang of jealousy and asked, "Ah, who else?"
