Chapter 487: Chapter 487 Verification Results

Seeing she remained silent, Ye Zhenxian continued, "Leaving aside that it’s now impossible for you to return to Beiliang, even if it were possible, do you think the Beiliang Royal Family would still value a princess whose marriage alliance has failed?"

Indeed, he was telling the truth. Yu Yinglei fell silent in contemplation.

In terms of national power, Tiancheng was the Upper Country, to which all other nations looked up.

In terms of wealth, it was naturally better to stay in Tiancheng, where she could enjoy more glory and riches as Princess Xian.

In terms of feelings, her only hope of getting close to the Tiancheng Crown Prince would be to stay in Tiancheng Capital.

With this in mind, she finally nodded her head.

Seeing this, Ye Zhenxian touched her face, "As long as you obey, I will not strike you again. Whatever you want, I can obtain for you."

Yu Yinglei nestled into his arms, her voice soft and cooing, "I cannot stand Commandery Princess Beilan. I simply wanted to teach her a lesson today, but Prince misunderstood me."

"If you can’t stand her, then stay away from her."

"Why not kill her?" Yu Yinglei asked fiercely.

"I have a use for her," Ye Zhenxian replied with a sinister smile.

He was awaiting the Divine Doctor to heal him, after which he could savor Commandery Princess Beilan’s ’flavor’.

Prince Zhenbei Mansion.

Ye Jiu heard that Yu Yinglei had caused a disturbance in the mansion and thus came to inquire from Leng Yu Yan.

"A woman from Beiliang came early in the morning to cause a fuss, really shameless. I heard she knelt down on the spot to Miao Zhu."

On hearing this, Leng Yu Yan was quite surprised, and she looked toward Miao Zhu, asking, "She knelt before you?"

Miao Zhu nodded, handed a teacup to Ye Jiu, and then replied, "She did indeed kneel before me, your servant avoided it. Such a woman, with that status, so readily kneeling, is either extremely cruel or utterly ruthless."

"Not caring about face, it seems she really wants my life," said Leng Yu Yan and then instructed Xiaoshan who was nearby, "In the upcoming days, be more vigilant about security around the mansion, including food, clothing, and daily necessities."

Xiaoshan bowed, "Subordinate will select some men from the guards to protect Commandery Princess and Princess."

Leng Yu Yan suddenly missed the Four Guardians of Linqing Pavilion, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. With them by her side, she wouldn’t have to worry about many things.

"Let’s not talk about that depressing woman," Leng Yu Yan turned to Ye Jiu, "What did you cook for my elder brother as a midnight snack last night?"

Ye Jiu waved a hand, embarrassed, "Don’t mention it."

"What happened?"

"He had me recook it, said it was undercooked."

At these words, everyone laughed.

Eastern Palace.

Ye Yiheng handled some official duties. Remembering the morning’s events at Prince Zhenbei Mansion, he thought to have Mo Chen assign a few Hidden Guards to covertly protect Leng Yu Yan.

He turned his head to Song Guo and said, "Call Mo Chen over."

Song Guo acknowledged and was about to leave the study to look for him when he saw Mo Chen approaching quickly.

"Mo Chen arrives just in time, His Highness is looking for you."

Mo Chen nodded and pulled a letter from his bosom, hurriedly handing it to Ye Yiheng.

"Your Highness, Mr. Ling and Ruofeng have sent a letter."

"Have they reached Linqing Pavilion?" Ye Yiheng tore open the envelope and unrolled the letter to read.

"Your Highness, the letter seems urgent, has something happened?" Mo Chen asked.

"Nothing has happened." Ye Yiheng passed the letter to Mo Chen, "Read it yourself."

Mo Chen furrowed his brows and muttered as he read, "Crown Prince, in seeing these words, consider it as seeing my face. We have learned that the Linqing Pavilion Master is indeed Princess Beilan. We are both on our way back, and will soon arrive at the Capital City, sending this urgent message to inform Your Highness."

He placed the letter back into the envelope, hearing Song Guo lean in to ask, "If the Commandery Princess is the Linqing Pavilion Master, then the Divine Doctor that Your Highness has been tirelessly searching for is the Commandery Princess."

"Yes, it has been confirmed!" Mo Chen nodded.

Song Guo was both shocked and delighted, "The Divine Doctor has been by Your Highness’s side all along, why hadn’t we realized it sooner?"

"Your Highness, now that we know the Commandery Princess is the Divine Doctor, what should we do?" Song Guo was extremely nervous, rubbing his hands together and pacing incessantly. "It is Your Highness’s wisdom that could guess the Commandery Princess’s identity!"

Ye Yiheng lowered his eyes, speaking faintly, "Tell me, what do you think her motive was for hiding her identity from me?"

Was it because she didn’t trust him, or because she wanted to escape from his side at any moment?

In her eyes, if her identity as the Divine Doctor was uncovered by him, he would not easily let her go simply because of his eye and cold diseases.

Mo Chen bowed his head, "Subordinate dares not speculate on what the Commandery Princess might be thinking."

Song Guo quickly said, "Your Highness, perhaps the Commandery Princess has her own concerns, especially since the period when Your Highness first met her was not particularly pleasant."

Ye Yiheng’s slender fingers tapped on the envelope, "Mo Chen, select a few people from the Dark Guard Bureau and secretly protect her at the Prince Zhenbei Mansion."

Mo Chen thought His Highness wanted to secretly monitor the Commandery Princess and shook his head, "I’m afraid that won’t do."

"Why?"

"Previously, Your Highness also had people secretly protect her, and we could only guard from a distance, not getting close to the Commandery Princess, as she dislikes being watched in secret."

Ye Yiheng waved his hand, "Then watch from a distance."

"Yes, Your Highness." Mo Chen saluted and immediately went to arrange it.

At that moment in the Prince Zhenbei Mansion, Ye Jiu pulled Leng Yu Yan, "Ah Yan, teach me how to make supper, just like the bird’s nest treats I made last night."

"That’s very simple, the bird’s nest needs to be soaked for three hours. You made it in a hurry last night, you probably didn’t soak it, did you?"

"I really didn’t soak it; seeing you all questioning the prisoner, I went to the small kitchen."

Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan laughed, "Make the treats uniformly sized; you can cut them to nearly the same size with a knife, then round them one by one."

Ye Jiu bashfully said, "Yesterday, I directly pinched and rolled the dough."

"Once you have the experience, you can casually pinch and roll the dough, but since you seem not to have cooked much, better keep it simple."

Ye Jiu smiled brightly, "Then let’s cook together today, and I’ll assist."

Leng Yu Yan nodded, "That sounds good, Big Brother is working hard with his military drills every day; he deserves to eat well. If His Highness comes, he can join us too."

Ye Jiu joyfully hugged Leng Yu Yan’s body, "Thank you so much, Ah Yan!"

Such a hug startled Ye Jiu making her eyes widen, "Ah Yan, your waist is so slim and soft!"

"Do you still want to learn?"

"Of course I do."

With that, the two of them laughed and headed to the small kitchen to get busy.

The two cooked bird’s nest treats and also made crispy cakes.

Li Yuyue ate joyfully, repeatedly praising, "With Yan’er’s help, Ye Jiu’s cooking actually looks quite impressive."

Ye Jiu playfully smiled, "That’s because this princess has a talent. Tell me whatever you want to eat, Princely Heir."

"Just a compliment and your tail wags to the sky," Li Yuyue shook his head and chuckled softly.

Leng Yu Yan herself wondered, originally assuming someone would come to the Prince Mansion; disappointment set in as he did not show up for dinner nor for supper.

Seeing the untouched supper, Ye Jiu couldn’t help but mutter, "Why isn’t Sixth Brother here tonight?"

"Maybe the matters in the Eastern Palace kept him busy," Leng Yu Yan came back to her senses, "Xiaoshan, please take His Highness this supper."

"Alright, Commandery Princess." Xiaoshan packed the supper into a food box, "Will the Commandery Princess join me?"

"I’ll not go this time; just deliver it," Leng Yu Yan shook her head.

As her eyelids began to twitch, she pressed them with her hand. This had happened twice recently, and she always had the uneasy feeling that something was going to happen.
