On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 474: Rich Nourishing Soup

Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Rich Nourishing Soup

Miao Zhu said, "Commandery Princess, His Highness’s entourage must have already cooked it early."

"You’re right," Leng Yu Yan sighed.

"Has the Princess ever thought about how to treat His Highness if you were to?"

"It’s not like taking his pulse would reveal anything; besides, I’m not a professional doctor in this area." Leng Yu Yan paused and then added, "I was just thinking of making a therapeutic soup."

The moment she thought of what someone said last night about checking whether it was congenital or acquired, Leng Yu Yan’s face flushed with heat.

Miao Zhu then asked, "After cooking the therapeutic soup, if His Highness drinks it, how will the Princess check its effect?"

Leng Yu Yan blurted out, "I surely wouldn’t go as far as to pull down his trousers to check, right?"

Miao Zhu chuckled, "That won’t be necessary, Princess. I will ask Song Guo to help, to sneak a peek."

Leng Yu Yan covered her lips and laughed: "Well, I’ll think about what soup to cook and which ingredients to use."

At that moment outside the door, Ye Yiheng’s gaze, cold as an ice blade, swept towards Song Guo, then he quickly walked away.

Song Guo shrank his neck, not daring to breathe out. Miao Zhu in the room was overestimating him, how could such a task be given to him?

--

Before the evening meal, Leng Yu Yan personally wrote a recipe and prepared the therapeutic soup.

When it was time for dinner, Ye Yiheng was nowhere to be seen. Upon asking, it was learned that the Crown Prince had taken Song Guo back to the Eastern Palace that afternoon.

Leng Yu Yan simply thought Ye Yiheng was busy with official duties and didn’t give it much thought.

After the dinner, she packed the soup into a food container and personally delivered it to the Eastern Palace.

In the study of the small building, when Song Guo saw Leng Yu Yan coming, he was about to notify Ye Yiheng but was stopped by Leng Yu Yan.

She tiptoed in, placing the food container on the table.

Miao Zhu then pulled Song Guo out of the study, and they closed the door behind them.

Leng Yu Yan thought Ye Yiheng was too focused and hadn’t noticed her arrival, but he had sensed her presence long ago.

"Are you here for something?"

He suddenly spoke, startling Leng Yu Yan, causing her hands that were holding the soup to shake.

"Your Highness, I’ve made some soup; would you like to try it?" Leng Yu Yan offered the bowl to him, "I’ve added a lot of good stuff, it’s nourishing."

Ye Yiheng looked up, his narrow eyes briefly glancing at her: "I’ve already had my dinner and can’t drink anymore, Yanyan, drink it yourself."

Leng Yu Yan quickly shook her head: "I also had dinner before coming here; I can’t drink anymore either."

Ye Yiheng stared at the bowl of soup for a while, soon his long fingers took the bowl, scooping with a spoon.

Just when Leng Yu Yan thought Ye Yiheng was so moved by her gesture that he would drink it, he instead shoved the spoonful of soup into her mouth.

"Your Highness, this is for you..."

She coughed as the soup had already slipped down her throat.

"Didn’t you say you put good stuff in it? Don’t waste it," Ye Yiheng gave her a half-smiling look and fed her another spoonful, "Is it tasty?"

"It’s tasty, Your Highness, would you like to try some?" Leng Yu Yan gritted her teeth internally.

Ye Yiheng put the bowl on the table: "I don’t need to drink this kind of stuff."

Leng Yu Yan smiled awkwardly; the ingredients she added were a bit heavy, after only two spoonfuls, she already felt uncomfortably hot.

"Since Your Highness won’t drink the soup, then I should head back."

Ye Yiheng grabbed her wrist, "I’ll give you two choices."

"What?"

"Finish this bowl of soup, and you can return to the Prince Mansion; otherwise, stay the night at the Eastern Palace."

Leng Yu Yan’s lips twitched, "Your Highness, might I have a third option?"

"Not possible."

Leng Yu Yan quietly tugged at her neckline, how was she to choose?

After drinking the soup, how was she to endure the long night?

Thinking of this, she whispered, "Then I shall stay overnight at the Eastern Palace."

A smile crossed Ye Yiheng’s cold phoenix eyes as he slowly released her wrist, "That would be very good."

Following this, he instructed Song Guo outside the door, "Arrange the guestroom in the bedroom."

Song Guo agreed and left with Miao Zhu.

Leng Yu Yan asked in surprise, "Why not Tingfeng Garden?"

"It’s already late, and Tingfeng Garden would be quite troublesome to prepare," Ye Yiheng paused before asking, "Or is it that Yanyan wants to drink the soup after all?"

"If it’s staying in the bedroom, then it’s staying in the bedroom," Leng Yu Yan tugged at her neckline again, "Your Highness, won’t you really drink the soup I’ve stewed?"

Ye Yiheng laughed, "I’ve already said there’s no need to drink it."

If he had drunk it, they would have to get married ahead of time and she would directly become his.

"Not drinking it then," Leng Yu Yan muttered, "I won’t cook it for you anymore."

"Don’t say that," he responded, "You can cook other soups in the future, and I will still drink them."

"Whoever wants to cook in the future will cook," Leng Yu Yan snapped the food box shut.

Ye Yiheng chuckled deeply and asked, "Yanyan, if you had let me drink the soup this time, were you planning to pull down my trousers?"

"You, who told you that?" Leng Yu Yan’s face instantly blushed like fire.

He slowly walked up to her and lightly asked again, "Or is it you wanted Song Guo to watch?"

Leng Yu Yan lowered her eyes, "Nothing of the sort!"

Ye Yiheng reached out and lifted her chin, "Although Song Guo is a eunuch, I don’t like him watching. If Yanyan is really curious, just say the word, and I guarantee you an opportunity."

Leng Yu Yan smiled awkwardly, "No, nothing of that sort, I’m not curious at all, really!"

"Really not curious?"

"Really not curious!"

Ye Yiheng glanced lightly at the food box, "There seems to be quite a few good things cooked inside here, do you think I’m blind not to see?"

Leng Yu Yan felt her lips stiffen with the smile, "Your Highness has sharp eyesight; indeed, they are good things."

Ye Yiheng lightly touched her cheek, raising an eyebrow, "Hmm, good things indeed, you only had two spoonfuls yet your little face has turned this red."

At this point, Leng Yu Yan couldn’t help but suspect whether someone had planted a spy by her side.

Otherwise, how could he seem to know everything?

Song Guo was pulling Miao Zhu along on the way to the bedroom.

"Why are you pulling me? The Commandery Princess is still in the study."

Miao Zhu was dissatisfied; she needed to be at the Commandery Princess’s side at all times.

"To give His Highness and the Commandery Princess some private space," Song Guo said with a sigh, "This afternoon, His Highness heard everything you and the Commandery Princess were discussing in the room."

Hearing this, Miao Zhu exclaimed, "Ah? Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Song Guo responded, "How could I say it earlier? I’m telling you now because I’ve brought you here to talk about this."

"Do you think the Crown Prince will fly into a rage and then with our Commandery Princess..." Miao Zhu made a slitting throat gesture.

Song Guo waved a hand dismissively, "No, no, there are many who speak of His Highness this way; have you ever heard that His Highness has gotten rid of anyone?"

Hearing this, Miao Zhu was relieved, lowering her voice, "Actually, our Commandery Princess is just concerned about His Highness. Her intentions are good, right?"

Song Guo nodded, "I understand, but it’s not only today or yesterday that His Highness has had his difficulties. In this regard, His Highness is a pitiable person, and the Commandery Princess marrying His Highness is also pitiable."

Both sighed in unison and soon arrived at the bedroom.

Meanwhile, Leng Yu Yan felt her body burning hot.

She tugged at her collar and gasped, "Your Highness, I would like to use your bath for a dip."
