On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness

Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Wolf Intent in the Eyes

Ye Yiheng coughed lightly, tightening his grip on her small hand, "You haven’t answered me yet."

"When did you say we were going to have the grand wedding?" she asked, her voice hoarse.

"Once your grandparents and my parents arrive in the capital, we’ll get married. By my calculations, that should be in about another two months."

Leng Yu Yan pondered and said, "Based on the current speed of the detox, most of it should be removed before the wedding. As for the remaining poison, we’ll need several specific drugs to draw it out, which are hard to find, and I’m not completely sure we can fully clear it."

After all, she did not know what toxins were exactly in his body, which posed the greatest challenge.

Ye Yiheng nodded, as long as most of it was resolved, it would not affect their consummation.

He was the Tiancheng Crown Prince, and had privately consulted many renowned doctors, none of whom had her medical skills.

In other words, she was by far the most skilled doctor he had ever encountered!

Still, he wanted to remove all the toxins from his body, so that he could spend a long and enduring life with her.

It occurred to him that the Divine Doctor of Linqing Pavilion could probably cleanse him of the toxins thoroughly.

"Yanyan, would you like to come with me to seek out the Divine Doctor?"

With this question, he hoped to probe her relationship with Linqing Pavilion, suspecting that the Pavilion Master might be her master.

Leng Yu Yan flinched, quickly regaining her composure, "Of course I am willing."

Ye Yiheng’s eyes slightly moved, "What does the Divine Doctor look like?"

Leng Yu Yan was grateful that she turned her back to him at that moment, he couldn’t see her expression, so she calmly said, "Isn’t it said that he’s a white-bearded old man?"

Ye Yiheng’s lips pressed into a thin line.

Many from the Tian Family had sought the Divine Doctor, as had many sons of noble families from the capital city, all aiming to find an old man skilled in medicine.

Even among ordinary folk, there circulated descriptions that portrayed the Divine Doctor as a sage-like elder with a white beard.

Since she responded this way now, it seemed she still did not want to reveal her relationship with Linqing Pavilion.

Leng Yu Yan took advantage of his loosening grip to withdraw her hand and adjusted the hem of her sleeping robe.

Suddenly, he turned her around.

Ye Yiheng clenched his back teeth, restraining his urge to kiss her forcefully, and instead, gently touched her forehead, "Go to sleep."

Leng Yu Yan felt dazed.

She distinctly saw the undeniable lust in his eyes.

Yet all he gave her was a kiss on the forehead. Had she seen it wrong?

While she was confused, he let go of her, got out of bed, and picked up a blanket from the cabinet.

Watching him lay out the blanket and lie down, Leng Yu Yan was completely perplexed, as he usually desired to share a blanket with her.

Men’s thoughts were truly hard to decipher, Leng Yu Yan decided not to dwell on it any longer and turned over, closing her eyes.

When she awoke early in the morning, he had already left.

Only his slept-in blanket remained on the bed, reminding Leng Yu Yan that he had indeed slept with her in the same bed the latter part of the night.

Miao Zhu entered the inner chamber upon hearing the Commandery Princess awake, and was just about to speak when she noticed the extra blanket on the bed.

Leng Yu Yan spoke dispassionately, "Crown Prince His Highness came over. Do you see? We slept under separate blankets. Are you at ease now?"

Miao Zhu nodded, bending down to neatly fold the brocade quilt, "Princess, why do I sense a hint of desolation in your voice?"

"What desolation?" Leng Yu Yan got out of bed.

As Miao Zhu placed the quilt in the cabinet, she sighed, "Other women become shy before their weddings, all because they think of the wedding night and the consummation, thus their shyness."

While speaking, Miao Zhu noticed Leng Yu Yan’s complexion showed no oddity, so she continued, "Moreover, I’ve heard that when a prince marries, the palace sends a nanny to the bride’s home to specifically instruct her in bedroom techniques."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yu Yan’s hand paused while holding the comb.

Miao Zhu was tidying up the bed and didn’t see Leng Yu Yan’s movement, continuing to speak on her own, "The Commandery Princess’s grand wedding with the Crown Prince is imminent, yet no one from the palace has been sent over. Isn’t it because the Crown Prince is inadequate?"

It was precisely because he was inadequate that there was no need to send a nanny to teach manners.

Thinking this, Miao Zhu felt a heartache and sense of injustice for her own Commandery Princess.

Leng Yu Yan quietly sighed, then chuckled lowly, "What exactly are you thinking in that head of yours? Or do you want me to marry you off instead?"

"Please don’t! I want to serve the Commandery Princess all my life!"

Miao Zhu came over, took the comb from Leng Yu Yan’s hand, and began combing her hair.

That morning, Ye Jiu arrived.

She snatched the script from Leng Yu Yan’s hands, laughing playfully, "Ah Yan, let’s go have some tea and take a look at what the Beiliang Princess looks like."

"I don’t really want to." Leng Yu Yan took back the script and resumed her reading.

Ye Jiu sat down beside her, whispering, "Today, Fourth Brother is going to the city gate to receive the Beiliang Princess. She will pass through Vermilion Bird Street and then enter the palace. Once inside, all the princes will be there. If the Beiliang Princess takes a liking to someone, it will likely be that person."

Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan finally shifted her gaze from the script, "So hasty?"

Ye Jiu nodded with a twist of her eyes, "Yes, Sixth Brother looks the best. If the Beiliang Princess chooses him, Ah Yan, won’t you be jealous?"

Leng Yu Yan set the script down, "Let’s go."

No wonder someone had vanished early this morning.

And even more so, he had asked her to sew last night, was it because he feared suddenly going blind and not being able to see the Beiliang Princess?

Feeling inexplicably upset, she indeed wanted to see what this Beiliang Princess looked like.

Ye Jiu, holding back a smile, asked, "Where to?"

"Didn’t you say we were going for tea?" Leng Yu Yan started walking out.

"We will, definitely!" Ye Jiu followed, "It’s my treat."

The two took a horse carriage to the teahouse.

The largest teahouse in the capital city was the one opened by Ji Qingyu; the spot by the window there provided an excellent view of the bustling Vermilion Bird Street.

The carriage stopped, and Leng Yu Yan glanced out of the carriage window, then turned to Ye Jiu, "Why did you pick this place?"

"This was the only spot left, nowhere else had any seats."

Leng Yu Yan looked up and saw that all the teahouses and pubs were filled with people of all sorts, murmuring, "Why are there so many people?"

Ye Jiu explained with a smile, "The men are here to see the Beiliang Princess, and the women are here to see Fourth Brother, especially now that Fourth Brother doesn’t even have a consort."

Leng Yu Yan gave a shallow smile, "Then we are the exceptions, here to see the Beiliang Princess."

Ye Jiu sighed and said honestly, "Ah Yan, truth be told, it’s not just Fourth Brother going to receive the Beiliang Princess today, your eldest brother is also involved."

"What does my eldest brother have to do with this?" Leng Yu Yan was puzzled.

"Didn’t the Imperial Army have issues before? The Father Emperor ordered the Princely Heir to take dozens of elite soldiers from the Northern Garrison to accompany Fourth Brother to the city gates to welcome the Beiliang Princess."

"Now I understand, your interest in seeing the Beiliang Princess’s looks is entirely because of my eldest brother." Leng Yu Yan tapped her arm, "Don’t worry, my eldest brother doesn’t easily take a liking to people."

Ye Jiu looked down, "I know, I’ve liked him for so long, and he hasn’t liked me back."

"You’re different!" Leng Yu Yan comforted her, "Perhaps you are already someone special to my eldest brother!"

After their quiet conversation, they both put on veils and entered the teahouse.

Once settled at a window seat on the second floor, they ordered tea and snacks, patiently waiting for the procession to pass by.
