On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 481: The Huge Joke

Chapter 481: Chapter 481: The Huge Joke

Yu Yinglei’s voice was particularly sharp, and given that the guests were all ears for drama at the moment, almost everyone present heard what she said.

The ministers clicked their tongues.

"How did Prince Xian end up becoming an eunuch?"

"Yes, Prince Xian has always been known to enjoy the company of beauties, how could he bear to become an eunuch?"

"When did this happen, how come none of us heard about it?"

Whispers of discussion arose among the crowd, yet the princes from the Tian Family remained calm.

Yu Haoqiong’s frown deepened. He turned around, grabbed Yu Yinglei’s shoulders, "Are you sure you saw it clearly? Marriage is not a child’s play. Do you understand the impact of your words on Prince Xian?"

It wasn’t just an impact on Ye Zhenxian; it affected him, Yu Haoqiong too.

Of the Ye Family’s princes, only Ye Zhenxian was easiest to manipulate. Given his age, he had a strong chance of becoming Tiancheng’s Crown Prince.

Now that it was revealed that Ye Zhenxian was an eunuch, how could he participate in the struggle for the Tiancheng throne?

Yu Yinglei cried, "How could I have seen it wrong? Seventh Brother, please take me back to Beiliang. I won’t marry into this arrangement!"

Yu Haoqiong grabbed Yu Yinglei’s arm, "Come, let me see."

"Do you really want to see?" Yu Yinglei sobbed.

Yu Haoqiong nodded. He had no choice but to see it as this matter could affect his great ambitions. He had to see it.

The Yu siblings walked ahead with many curious guests following behind.

Seeing this, Prince Liang gave a faint smile while Prince Duan scoffed and took a sip of his drink.

Seventh Prince Ye Zhengmo swirled his wine glass, looking at Ye Yiheng, "I didn’t expect Second Brother to be even more disgraceful than Sixth Brother."

Ye Yiheng drank his wine silently, remaining quiet.

Ye Jiu, unable to contain his anger, slammed the table, "How can Seventh Brother talk like that?"

Ye Zhengmo replied indifferently, "It’s no secret that Sixth Brother is inadequate. Now that Second Brother is an eunuch, shouldn’t Sixth Brother feel happy that there’s someone even more disgraceful than him?"

Ye Shi leaned in and whispered, "Elder brothers, why would Second Brother think like that, abandoning the honorable title of Prince Xian to become an eunuch?"

Prince Liang raised an eyebrow, "This Prince has no idea."

Ye Shi looked at the other brothers, and Prince Duan added, "This Prince doesn’t know either. Ah Shi, you should care more about your little cousin from Beiliang."

Ye Shi stood up, "I need to take a look myself."

Yu Yinglei had been much loved by Yu Haoqiong back in Beiliang. To gain Yu Haoqiong’s favor, she often flattered Yu Yinglei. Seeing the kind of husband Yu Yinglei had ended up with, although she was quite pleased internally, she decided to show some concern, because of Yu Haoqiong.

Seeing Ye Shi walk away, Ye Jiu also stood up.

At that moment, she finally understood that the drama mentioned by Sixth Brother and Heir Lai was tonight’s show.

They protected her so, giving her a chance to vent, she had to see Ye Zhenxian suffer complete and utter disgrace with her own eyes!

"Are none of the elder brothers going to take a look?" Ye Jiu said with a smile, "After all, Second Brother is our brother too, and the Yu siblings are going, we can’t not go."

The princes remained silent.

Then, Ji Qingyu spoke up, "Ah Ju, I’ll go with you."

Previously, he had plotted to throw Ye Zhenxian into the brothel, which caused a big commotion, but it was soon suppressed by Ye Gaoyun. Thus, very few outsiders knew about Ye Zhenxian getting roughed up.

Ye Yiheng stood up, reaching out his hand indifferently, while Song Guo hurried to support him.

"Although I cannot see, the words spoken earlier by the Beiliang Princess concern the dignity of Tiancheng. This time, I must go and see for myself."

Last year, in the matter of the flower tea at Cining Palace, he had people slash Ye Zhenxian. At the time, the incident spread throughout the entire Capital City. Unexpectedly, Ye Zhenxian told everyone that he was only slashed once in the thigh area and even dramatically sought pleasure amidst beauty.

For a while, those who initially believed that Ye Zhenxian was incapacitated all thought that Prince Xian had really only suffered a slash to the thigh when he was attacked.

Watching Ye Yiheng, Ji Qingyu, and Ye Jiu heading towards the bridal chamber, Prince Liang, Prince Duan and others followed as well.

Seeing this, the ministers all stood up and followed.

Inside the bridal chamber, Ye Zhenxian was so drunk that he was unconscious.

He lay on his back, his vacant stare causing Haoqiong’s brows to furrow tightly.

He had not yet managed to say anything when the guests had already crowded the room to the point where it was impenetrable.

The doorway was so packed that there was no room to stand, and all windows were wide open, filled with onlookers.

Someone exclaimed, "My God, Prince Xian is really an eunuch!"

Another loudly said, "Earlier, I heard that Prince Xian was incapacitated, but then someone came out to deny it, saying he was only injured in the thigh. Now it seems that what was said about him being incapacitated at the time is true!"

At this remark, people began to recall.

"Now that you mention it, I also heard about it. Later, someone said that if this was true, the Tian Family would not spare the wrongdoer, and that’s why we believed the rumor was false. Now it seems the rumor is true!"

Even someone said, "I also heard that Prince Xian often frequents brothels..."

For a while, everyone was speaking at once, but their aim was the same—to witness the public humiliation of the man on the new bed.

Ye Jiu sneered in his heart. Ye Zhenxian finally had his day!

At that moment, Li Yuyue pulled her aside, moving her behind him, "There are too many people now, stay with me and be careful not to fall."

Ye Jiu nodded, surveying the room as the guests whispered and snickered, finally releasing the resentment caused by his elder brothers.

Ying Lei grabbed Haoqiong’s arm, "Seventh Brother, listen, a man like Ye Zhenxian truly does not deserve me. I think of returning to Beiliang tonight!"

Haoqiong frowned deep in thought.

Then, Ye Zhenyu spoke, "Since the Beiliang Princess has married the Tiancheng Prince Xian and has entered the Heavenly Family Jade Plate, even if Prince Xian is disgraceful, the marriage is completed and cannot be nullified."

Saying so, he ordered his attendants to cover Ye Zhenxian with a brocade quilt.

Ying Lei shook her head repeatedly, "Why should I, a princess who traveled thousands of miles for a marriage alliance, marry an eunuch? If this gets out, wouldn’t it disgrace Tiancheng?"

For the first time in her life, she regretted—if she had insisted on marrying Ye Yiheng, even if Ye Yiheng was incompetent, at least he was still a man.

And now, the man drunkenly unconscious on the bed was an eunuch!

Ye Zhenyu spoke again, "Sister-in-law, this statement is inappropriate. Although my brother’s condition is unfortunate, it is certainly not his desire. I congratulate them on their wedding, and may they love each other as before year after year!"

Ji Qingyu also bowed, "Wishing my cousin and his wife love and harmony, although having children is not suitable, may you live beautifully together!"

The Fifth Prince, Prince Duan, laughed loudly, "Cousin Qingyu, you are too harsh!"

"Fifth cousin, you speak well, say a few words," Ji Qingyu turned, raising his hand.

Prince Duan cleared his throat, speaking loudly, "I wish my brother and sister-in-law a joyous wedding, sweet passion, smooth as oil, becoming a heavenly couple that everyone envies!"
