On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 456: He Must Endure

Chapter 456: Chapter 456: He Must Endure

As if prompted by a spirit’s whisper, she licked her lips and tiptoed to lightly touch his pale pink lips with hers.

It was like a dragonfly skimming the water...

Yet it was enough to stir up a storm of emotions in Ye Yiheng’s heart!

He smiled with a curled lip; her initiative in that touch aroused him.

The soft sensation carried her unique feminine fragrance and tenderness, making his heart flutter.

Her unprecedented initiative made him feel that his affection was finally reciprocated.

Just as Ye Yiheng was about to deepen their kiss by holding the back of her head, the voices of Song Guo and Miao Zhu came from not far behind.

Song Guo, "Why did the Commandery Princess rush off with His Highness so quickly?"

Miao Zhu, "You wouldn’t know, it’s because the Princely Heir is shy. The Commandery Princess walked quickly to make the Princely Heir think she and His Highness had returned to their room, allowing the Princely Heir to take advantage and go to the guest courtyard to find the Ninth Princess."

As the two talked and walked, they both looked up and saw the Crown Prince and the Commandery Princess embracing.

The two quickly shut their mouths and stopped walking with bowed heads.

Leng Yu Yan struggled out of someone’s embrace, her cheeks slightly red, "Let’s go, back to the room."

Ye Yiheng beamed pleasurably and took her small hand, walking slowly towards her courtyard.

On the other side.

Ye Jiu was reclining on the bed, being fed by a palace maid.

Li Yuyue entered, and seeing this scene, his handsome brows furrowed, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Ye Jiu glanced at the palace maid, who discreetly left in silence.

Li Yuyue grew anxious, "The food was delivered long ago, why haven’t you finished yet?"

"My appetite is bad," Ye Jiu giggled playfully, "How about the Princely Heir feeds me?"

Li Yuyue snorted, "You are in the mood for jokes, it seems you are quite well."

Saying so, he went to pull her hand, "Eating on the bed, what is this? Come down quickly."

Being abruptly pulled by the hand, Ye Jiu’s heart surged with joy.

"Princely Heir, I really am unwell, hence I ate in bed."

"Can’t walk?" Li Yuyue frowned, picked her up horizontally, "I’ll carry you to the table for a meal."

Being tugged by the hand and then carried by him, Ye Jiu’s heart bubbled with joy.

"Not that I can’t walk," Ye Jiu said softly in his arms, then straightened up to whisper in his ear, "I’m on my period."

At that, Li Yuyue’s handsome face flushed red.

Stiffening, he put her back on the bed and cast his eyes down inadvertently, noticing blood on his sleeve.

With a thud, it felt as though something exploded in his brain, turning his ears and neck crimson red.

Seeing this, Ye Jiu covered her mouth, giggling nonstop.

Li Yuyue kept his blood-stained sleeve behind his back, "Does your stomach hurt? I’ll call Yan’er over to check your pulse."

"There’s no need to bother Ah Yan, I’m just feeling a bit uncomfortable, not really in pain, you don’t need to worry," Ye Jiu watched him, her affection growing.

Men of his age often had several children already.

Yet he was innocently blushing at any tease.

Li Yuyue, stiff, nodded, "That’s good, I’ll call the palace maid to take care of you."

Ye Jiu’s eyes sparkled with happiness, "Okay."

Li Yuyue didn’t know how he made it back to his own courtyard, only aware of the cold night wind that failed to cool the burning on his face.

Glancing at the blood on his sleeve again, his face immediately ignited with heat.

Back in his room, the servant Wei Liang came to attend him while he washed up.

"Princely Heir, your outer robe is stained with blood, should I handle it?"

Although Wei Liang asked this, he was puzzled, as his master hadn’t engaged in any combat today; how could there be blood?

Li Yuyue felt a renewed wave of heat across his face, "Just leave it, I’ll handle it myself later."

Wei Liang was confused. When his master returned from battle, any blood-stained clothes were usually discarded, except for armor.

Today’s robes only had a small bloodstain; it seemed a pity to discard them directly, so he asked.

Even if they decided to keep and clean them, it would usually be a task for subordinates. Why had the Princely Heir said he would handle it himself?

Li Yuyue glanced at him, "You can leave; I don’t need to be attended to here."

Wei Liang put away his confusion and respectfully exited the room.

Li Yuyue neatly folded his robe and placed it in the wardrobe. After a moment’s thought, feeling it was inappropriate, he took it out again and put it in a brocade box reserved for robes.

Late at night.

Just like the previous night, Ye Yiheng still brought a comforter and laid it on the bed.

Leng Yu Yan blinked at him, wanting to ask but not managing to speak.

He seemed to read her mind and spoke up, "Before we get married, we should sleep under separate covers."

To prevent him from forcing her in the middle of the night.

Their wedding was not far off, and he needed to restrain himself.

If she found out he had lied to her about something, knowing her personality, she would definitely call off the wedding.

Once they were married, by then it would be too late for her to back out!

Leng Yu Yan huffed, "You might as well go back to the Eastern Palace."

Ye Yiheng laughed in his deep voice, "You want me to..."

"Ah?" she frowned, "What did you say?"

Had she heard wrong?

Or had he misspoken?

"You want me to...share a quilt?" he slowly finished his sentence.

Leng Yu Yan raised her voice, "Can’t you just speak in complete sentences? It’s really frightening when you don’t!"

Having said that, she burrowed into the comforter.

Ye Yiheng shook his head helplessly and smiled, seeing how he had only been testing her and she had immediately gotten upset.

He still had to endure.

--

Several days later, it was the day when Ye Yuan sent for Leng Yu Yan.

Following the agreement made ten days prior, today was the day to perform hand surgery on Ye Yuan.

With a persistent doubt in his mind, Ye Yiheng shamelessly accompanied Leng Yu Yan to Marquis Jiangyang Mansion.

Seeing Ye Yiheng accompany Leng Yu Yan, Ye Yuan sighed internally; Qingyu’s chances were growing slimmer.

Ah Heng was watching over Ah Yan more closely than his own eyeballs; Qingyu had no chance of marrying Ah Yan.

But when she thought of the possibility of her fingers being separated, she felt happy again.

Ye Yuan unwrapped the bandage, "Ah Yan, do you think surgery is possible?"

Leng Yu Yan inspected it carefully before responding, "Surgery is possible." She then turned to instruct Miao Zhu, "You, direct the maids of the mansion to get the room ready."

Miao Zhu nodded and led a group of maids to prepare the room.

Before long, the room was ready and Leng Yu Yan entered with Ye Yuan, leaving only Miao Zhu, a maid, to assist them.

The door loudly closed.

Before it closed, Ye Yiheng glanced at the table where the surgical tools Leng Yu Yan needed were neatly arranged.

Some of the tools he recognized, others he had never seen before.

Even in rare medical texts, there wasn’t a trace of description.

Time ticked away as Ji Liancheng and Ji Qingyu, father and son, anxiously rubbed their hands together outside, waiting for the progress of the surgery inside...

Ye Yiheng sat alone to one side, lost in thought.

The Heavenly Bright God Doctor was the only one, and he was the Linqing Pavilion Master.

Perhaps, the Divine Doctor’s mystique came partly from his medical skills, and partly because few had ever seen him.

Leng Yu Yan’s medical skills were exceptional, and she was extremely adept at disguise. If she impersonated the Divine Doctor, those who came to her seeking treatment would be countless.

She completely had the capability and ability to impersonate the Divine Doctor.

Not right!

Previously, he had pondered whether the Linqing Pavilion Master’s medical skills were better or Leng Yu Yan’s were. Perhaps then he was already thinking amiss.

Suddenly, he realized he should consider the matter from a different angle!
