On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness

Chapter 103: Chapter 103 Lone Journey is Not Advisable

In just a moment, his gentleness had completely vanished, and his face darkened, his deep-set eyes like the sea now filled with cold and sinister shimmers.

Gazing at her sweetly defenseless sleeping face, he reached out with his large hand to pinch the side of her face that was without the tassel curtain.

That flush on her face from drinking, it irritated him.

He pinched fiercely, wishing he could remove every trace of redness that Ji Qingyu’s wine had stained her cheeks with.

Leng Yu Yan, feeling the pain in her sleep, murmured, “Don’t touch me!”@@novelbin@@

Ye Yiheng instantly withdrew his hand, and then he saw her rosy lips…

Nonetheless, he couldn’t help bringing his fingertip close to her lips.

The warmth of her breath caressed his fingertips, seemingly fragrant…

Ye Yiheng drew back his hand once more, straightened his robe, and feigned sleep with his eyes closed.

Upon reaching the Eastern Palace, he carried her to Tingfeng Garden.

It was unclear how much she had drunk, sleeping all the way in the horse carriage; now, as he carried her, she showed no sign of awakening.

Even more troubling was her small face rubbing against his chest.

Through the spring garment, he could distinctly feel the warmth of her body.

For many years, he had always been cold, almost never feeling what the warmth of a normal person was like.

Today, however, gave him a tangible experience.

Seeing the Crown Prince return with Fifth Miss Leng at night, the palace maids and eunuchs bustling around the Eastern Palace promptly turned away or knelt with their heads bowed, not daring to look further.

Leading the way was Song Guo, and Ye Yiheng carried Leng Yu Yan back to Tingfeng Garden without uttering a word.

Mrs. Zhao and Miao Zhu, upon seeing their young lady being carried back in the arms of the Crown Prince, quickly went to greet them.

Observing their young lady unconscious, and seeing the Crown Prince’s sullen face, Miao Zhu dared not ask anything.

Ye Yiheng strode into Leng Yu Yan’s bedroom and laid her down on the bed.

Just as he was about to straighten up, having released her body, Leng Yu Yan unexpectedly hooked his neck.

The drunken her had no small amount of strength.

Ye Yiheng shook his head, and as he was about to lay her arm down, she pulled with force, pressing her soft lips against him…

At this moment, Leng Yu Yan found herself in a dream—

She was huddled in a corner, looking at the man before her.

The man wore an icy expression, and by his demeanour, he appeared to be angry.

When he was angry, she needed to appease him.

Everything required her initiative.

Thinking this, she rose from the corner, walked over to him, and tiptoed to press her lips to his.

Her warm, moist lips seemed to stir a nameless current within him, spasmodically causing his irritation to flare.

Ye Yiheng did not enjoy this sensation, and just as her lips were about to touch his face, he pushed strongly with his arm, and Leng Yu Yan tumbled off the bed to the floor.

A thud.

Ye Yiheng, with a frown, looked down at the woman on the floor, who simply moved her body a bit then continued to sleep right there.

How could there be a woman like this?

The scene frightened Mrs. Zhao into silence, and Miao Zhu’s mouth gaped in shock. If her young lady knew she had tried to take liberties with the Crown Prince while asleep, who knows what her state would be?

Song Guo, standing nearby, was breaking out in a cold sweat. Seeing the Crown Prince act this way, could it be that he truly had no desire?

The future Crown Princess Consort had feigned unconsciousness to offer a fragrant kiss willingly, yet the Crown Prince actually refused.

Refusal was one thing, but he had even flipped her over onto the ground!

Heaven forbid, if this story got out, it would be yet another piece of evidence fueling rumors of the Crown Prince’s incapacity!

Ye Yiheng’s face turned an iron shade, his grimness intensified, and he left Tingfeng Garden with a flick of his sleeve.

After the Crown Prince and Song Guo departed, Mrs. Zhao and Miao Zhu hurriedly lifted Leng Yu Yan from the ground onto the bed.

“Miss, Miss, wake up, please wake up!”

No matter how they called, Leng Yu Yan continued to sleep soundly.

In the dream, I tried to kiss him, but he evaded me abruptly.

Usually, he would torment me all night long, but this time he let me go without doing such things.

And so, I slept exceptionally well!

The next day.

Leng Yu Yan felt refreshingly cheery as she woke up, and, smelling the alcohol on her body, the first thing she did after getting out of bed was to take a bath.

As she sat down, fresh and clean, for her morning meal, Miao Zhu recounted the events of last evening.

Halfway through Miao Zhu’s tale, Leng Yu Yan nearly spat out her breakfast, “What, I actually took the initiative to kiss him?”

She snapped back to reality, remembering that last night at the Marquis Jiangyang Mansion, she had become drunk and it was he who had brought her back. Then she must have, in her inebriated state, confused dream and reality, or rather, projected her dream into reality and accidentally kissed him.

At this thought, she quickly asked, “Did I actually kiss him?”

Miao Zhu shook her head, “No, the Crown Prince seemed quite disgusted and pushed you away.”

Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan burst out laughing, “Good push!”

She was relieved to have been pushed down; otherwise, her first kiss would have been gone!

Miao Zhu was taken aback and hastily added, “Miss, you were tossed from the bed straight onto the floor by His Highness.”

No wonder her shoulders and hips were sore, Leng Yu Yan pinched her shoulder, “It’s fine, it’s fine, a little pain is nothing.”

After all, the first kiss was what really mattered!

She wanted to finish her morning meal quickly so she could thank him for the grace of having pushed her over.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.

She quickly seized it; this thought was a question.

Was he really incapable?

So incapable that even a kiss was out of the question?

Leng Yu Yan pondered while she continued to eat.

Suddenly, it dawned on her that perhaps her facial marks had scared him. Although she wore a tassel curtain, he knew that beneath it were the patches.

It would be normal for someone to feel disgusted!

Never before had she been so grateful for wearing those marks on her face.

After her meal, Leng Yu Yan walked to the Crown Prince’s Study Room with a spring in her step.

Upon seeing her approach, Jian Lecheng rose from his chair at once, “Miss Lai, how did you get back last night?”

He had just asked His Highness, and His Highness refused to tell.

Given the Crown Prince’s violent temper, he was bound to get angry, yet when he arrived at the Eastern Palace, he heard not a single word about it.

Even when he asked Wen Songguo, Song Guo remained tight-lipped as well.

Such a scenario made him feel that there was surely a problem.

Hence, the moment he saw Leng Yu Yan, he wanted to ask for the whole story.

Unexpectedly to him, Leng Yu Yan said with a light and pleasant smile, “His Highness brought me back, I came specifically to give thanks.”

With that said, Leng Yu Yan looked towards Ye Yiheng.

Ye Yiheng, seeing a hint of a profound smile in her eyes, spoke in a deep voice to Jian Lecheng, “You go out first.”

“Your Highness, this…” Jian Lecheng frowned.

He hadn’t finished discussing the affair between the Ministry of Justice and Prince Liang, how could he be asked to leave?

Ye Yiheng said coldly, “Out!”

Jian Lecheng quickly bowed and complied, exiting the study room and diligently closing the door behind him.

Leng Yu Yan began, “I was somewhat intoxicated yesterday and may have caused trouble for Your Highness; please forgive me!”

Seeing the hint of a faint, almost imperceptible mocking smile on her lips, Ye Yiheng furrowed his brows, wondering if this woman also thought him incapable, just like Song Guo had worried?

With this thought, he scooped her up in his arms and headed straight for the room in the back.

Caught off guard by his sudden action, Leng Yu Yan was alarmed, “Your Highness, what are you intending to do?”

“To show the Crown Princess Consort whether I am capable or not!”

His voice carried an unmistakable note of aggression.
