On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 458: Hurry to Seek Verification

Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Hurry to Seek Verification

"Aunt," Ye Yiheng interrupted Ye Yuan, "seems to know what you are trying to say. After Yanyan marries me, she will have to call you aunt, isn’t that good?"

Ye Yuan forced a smile, her lips twisting awkwardly, "Calling someone aunt doesn’t have the same intimacy as calling them mother."

Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan was shocked, "Aunt, this idea is inappropriate!"

Was the Eldest Princess trying to bring Ji Qingyu and her together?

Ji Qingyu scratched his head; he used to think that his parents favored Ye Yiheng over him. It was only today that he realized just how much he, their biological son, truly meant to them when his mother openly expressed what was in her heart.

But Ye Yiheng would never agree, would he?

With an expressionless face, Ye Yiheng said, "Aunt and uncle might seek the consent of Prince Zhenbei and the Princess to recognize Yanyan as their adoptive daughter. That way, aunt’s wish for Yanyan to call her mother would be fulfilled."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuan turned to Ji Liancheng, "Husband, isn’t this a great idea? We’ll have a daughter this way!"

Ji Liancheng frowned and said, "Prince Zhenbei is unlikely to agree."

Ye Yuan excitedly continued, "Whether he agrees or not is another matter. We’ll just wait until Prince Zhenbei comes to the capital city and ask him with gifts."

"This action is not feasible," Leng Yu Yan waved her hands, "I..."

She had no intention of recognizing adoptive parents.

Before Leng Yu Yan could finish speaking, Ye Yiheng had already pulled her out of the room, leaving Ji Qingyu behind to clench his fists and punch the wall.

How could Ye Yiheng not be completely blind?

If his parents were to adopt Ah Yan, then he and Ah Yan would become siblings in name, and he would lose all rights to fancy her.

Ye Yiheng, oh Ye Yiheng, how cunning and deceitful you are!

After Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan had left, Ji Qingyu asked his parents, "Do you really want to adopt Ah Yan as your daughter?"

Both of his parents looked towards him simultaneously.

Ji Liancheng said, "As parents, we had you, and you turned out so handsome, but compared to the Crown Prince, you’re still lacking."

Ye Yuan said, "You have been pampered since childhood. In this regard, Ah Heng truly cannot compare to you. But when a woman is looking for a husband, who would want one who is pampered?"

"I am your biological son!" Ji Qingyu asked loudly.

Ji Liancheng spread his hands, "That’s exactly the point. We truly hope that Ah Yan could be our daughter-in-law, but the reality is what it is. We must face the reality."

Ye Yuan smiled warmly, "My son, I do like Ah Yan very much. Since she can’t be my daughter-in-law, why not have her as a daughter?"

Ji Qingyu broke into a sweat from his forehead; his parents had shifted their position too quickly.

He even thought that his parents’ previous fondness for Leng Yu Yan and their attempts to match them were mainly because they were very keen to have a daughter like Ah Yan.

Now that Ye Yiheng had pointed it out, his parents easily gave up on the idea of having Ah Yan as their daughter-in-law.

Was his chance completely gone?

Ye Yuan, delighted, clutched Ji Liancheng’s hand, "Husband, just the thought of us having a daughter, and such a beautiful one at that, fills my heart with sweetness as if I’ve eaten honey."

Ji Liancheng nodded, "Back in the day, if this lad had been a daughter, we wouldn’t have had so many worries."

Ji Qingyu slumped down, realizing that his parents hadn’t been willing to have him, even wishing he’d been born a girl instead.

Meanwhile, Ye Yiheng led Leng Yu Yan onto the horse carriage.

Miao Zhu placed the medical kit inside the carriage and obediently sat next to Song Guo, who was driving, leaving the two Masters alone inside the carriage.

Leng Yu Yan turned to the person beside her, "Your Highness, why suggest to the Eldest Princess and her husband to adopt me as their daughter?"

Ye Yiheng adjusted his robes leisurely, "My aunt likes you and has always wanted a daughter. Isn’t this just fulfilling her wish?"

Leng Yu Yan lowered her eyes.

Someone else spoke, "If the Aunt becomes your foster mother, when you marry me, she will surely provide a substantial dowry. Wouldn’t you want that?"

"My father has already lost Huahua, and my mother has always seen me as Huahua, so your idea is not suitable for my father or mother."

"I’m sorry, I didn’t consider that aspect." Ye Yiheng frowned slightly.

He had only thought about putting an end to Ji Qingyu’s schemes, without considering Lai Ran’s personality.

While acknowledging a foster daughter isn’t the same as sending a daughter to another family, according to Lai Ran’s doting nature, he would surely be unwilling.

"It’s all right. When my father and mother come to the capital city, even if the Eldest Princess and her husband bring it up, they won’t agree. It will just be awkward for both parties."

Ye Yiheng took her hand, explaining in a soft voice, "I actually don’t want Ji Qingyu to still have..."

Leng Yu Yan placed her index finger on his lips, speaking softly and sweetly, "In my interactions with Ji Qingyu, I truly only feel friendship towards him."

He hugged her into his arms, "I know."

But he couldn’t help feeling jealous.

The two leaned against each other, quietly listening to each other’s heartbeats.

After a while, Ye Yiheng’s lips barely moved, wanting to ask if she was the Linqing Pavilion Master, but he couldn’t bring himself to speak.

If she truly was the Linqing Pavilion Master, having concealed her identity all this time must be due to some reservations.

Thus, if he asked, she’d surely deny it.

Just like previously when he asked about her relationship with the Linqing Pavilion, she even claimed she didn’t know where it was.

After sending Leng Yu Yan back to Prince Zhenbei Mansion, Ye Yiheng excused himself, saying he had matters to attend to, and returned to the Eastern Palace.

Leng Yu Yan thought nothing of it. The surgery today had drained her physically and mentally; she needed to rest well.

Upon returning to the Eastern Palace, the first thing Ye Yiheng did was head to the secret chamber.

Ling Lang hurried in, bowing, "Your Highness, have you summoned me to the secret chamber for some urgent matter?"

Ye Yiheng glanced at the entrance of the secret chamber and waited for Ruofeng to come in before saying, "I have an important task that requires you two to act quickly."

Ruofeng gave a salute, "Please give your orders, Your Highness!"

"I suspect that the Linqing Pavilion Master is Leng Yu Yan."

Ling Lang was shocked, "The Commandery Princess is the Divine Doctor?"

Ye Yiheng analyzed, "Ah Ju’s leg problem, many young men in the capital have sought the Divine Doctor. Last year, Lai Hao from Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion found an old man, but she revealed his incompetence on the spot. Now she has cured Ah Ju’s leg condition, helped the Imperial Aunt separate her fingers, and even treated the poison and eye condition I’ve suffered from. All signs point to one thing, she is the Linqing Pavilion Master."

Ling Lang stroked his chin, his eyes lighting up, "No wonder the Commandery Princess’s medical skills are miraculous!"

Ruofeng nodded, "The Life-saving Pills given by the Commandery Princess are indeed extraordinary!"

Ye Yiheng instructed coolly, "Ruofeng, you have stayed at the Linqing Pavilion for a considerable time, and Ling Lang, you are deep in thought. Together, go and bring the Four Guardians of Linqing Pavilion to the capital city. Tell them it’s the Pavilion Master’s order for you two to pick them up."

Ling Lang clapped his hands, "Your Highness has a good strategy; this way we can find out if the Pavilion Master is indeed the Commandery Princess."

Ruofeng shook his head, "Those Four Guardians are not simple; they won’t be easily fooled."

Ye Yiheng took out a robe, "The bamboo leaves on this robe were embroidered by Yanyan. Take it with you as a token."

"Every person’s stitching is unique. With such a token, they will most likely believe you." Ruofeng took the robe.

Ye Yiheng couldn’t help but caution, "Don’t damage this robe!"

The bamboo leaves on it were embroidered by that little woman; he truly treasured it as a token.

If it wasn’t for the desire to dispel the feeling in his heart that she was both distant and close to him, he wouldn’t need to use this robe to verify whether she was the Linqing Pavilion Master.
