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

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: She’s in His Heart

Leng Yu Yan’s eyes, clear as water, quickly misted over. If she really married him, she would be blind!

“Hmm?” His voice stretched long, carrying endless oppression.

Leng Yu Yan bit her lip to hold back tears, and it was only when her lips almost bled that she said, “I understand, I dare not do anything to displease Your Highness!”

Ye Yiheng’s expression changed slightly, and he said with a smile that was not quite a smile, “That would be very good!”

This man from the Tian Family surely had good genes, a peerless gentleman with unmatched elegance. However, the things he did were those of a rogue, a lunatic, with a hint of perversion.

Leng Yu Yan cursed him a hundred and eighty times in her heart but didn’t dare to speak out for fear that this madman would lash out even more wildly.

“Leave,” Ye Yiheng waved his hand.

At this moment, unable to see, her senses became exceptionally keen.

All of her perceptions seemed to amplify more than a hundredfold.

Her skin was so tender, so soft; her blood so fragrant, as if carrying a scent.

Even the feel of her hair snaking across his chest seemed to be seducing him.

If this woman stayed any longer, he wasn’t sure what crazier things he might do to her.

Leng Yu Yan turned around woodenly, opened the door, and left.

Miao Zhu and Song Guo, seeing this, immediately came over.

But when they saw the clear bite mark with beads of blood on her fair neck, Miao Zhu’s tears instantly fell.

“Miss, you’re bleeding.”

“I know,” Leng Yu Yan said through gritted teeth.

The culprit remained self-satisfied in the room.

One day, she swore to bite him hundreds, thousands of times!

Only then could she vent the hatred in her heart!

Miao Zhu wanted to press a handkerchief to the wound on Leng Yu Yan’s neck, “Miss, will it leave a scar?”

Leng Yu Yan waved her off, “Don’t touch it, it hurts too much.”

Song Guo stood frozen in place. The blood beads kept oozing from Miss Lai’s neck. His master’s behavior was enlightening, wasn’t it?

It was known that some powerful eunuchs in the palace used their authority and money to satisfy their desires by taking wives and concubines.

But there were things these eunuchs couldn’t do, so they found ways to torment their wives and concubines.

Such acts of biting were often heard of.

Could it be that his master was driven by the same reason?

Oh my goodness, how pitiful His Highness is, and how pitiful Miss Lai is!

Leng Yu Yan returned to Tingfeng Garden with a stiff neck.

When she saw the clear bite mark on her neck in the mirror, she couldn’t help but want to curse. With such strong teeth, why not eat iron?

What bizarre obsession did that madman have with her neck?

If he choked it that was one thing, but now he had bitten her. Would he bite off a chunk next time?

The thoughts of a madman were indeed beyond reason!

She had to stabilize him first, or else she wouldn’t be able to go to the Imperial College, and all her plans would be ruined.

After cleaning the wound and having Miao Zhu help bandage it, seeing Mrs. Zhao crying silently aside, Leng Yu Yan hastened to console her, “Mrs. Zhao, don’t cry, such a small wound will heal quickly.”

It was then that Song Guo brought over two bottles of medicine.

“Miss, His Highness asked I bring these. One bottle is for healing, the other is for scar removal.”

“A slap followed by a sweet date?” Miao Zhu huffed. “Bit her, then sent medicine?”

Such a thing, only the Crown Prince could do!

Song Guo looked earnestly at Leng Yu Yan, “Please accept it, Miss.”

“I won’t accept the medicine. You go back and tell His Highness that it’s better if a scar remains, to remind me to seek His Highness’s approval in all my actions from now on.”

Reluctantly, Song Guo had no choice but to return with the medicine bottles.

“`

Ye Yiheng’s brows knitted when he knew the medicine couldn’t be sent out.

“Your Highness,” Song Guo said with a bow, “Miss said it’s best to leave a scar, so that she is constantly reminded to seek Your Highness’s approval in her actions.”

Hearing this, Ye Yiheng’s face grew even colder, “Let her be.”

The aura of His Highness instantly turned icy, chilling the entire bedroom significantly.

Song Guo dared not speak, placed the medicine bottle on the table, and quietly withdrew.

—

The next day, the Empress Dowager returned to the palace.

The Empress Dowager had been praying for Tiancheng’s well-being in the temple for over two months. Upon her return, the Emperor personally led the civil and military officials to welcome her.

While the Empress Dowager was gratified, she received news that the ugly Leng Family girl had been matched with the Crown Prince.

The Empress Dowager was very displeased with this.

The girl from the Leng Family was too ugly, as she had already heard on her way back to the palace.

Such a woman completely should not be matched with the Crown Prince, and she intended to change the candidate for the Crown Princess Consort to Zheng Liqi.

To console the Empress Dowager, the Emperor planned to hold a palace banquet in two days, also as an opportunity for the Empress Dowager to see Leng Yu Yan.

Upon hearing this news, Lai Manting thought about moving her plan forward.

If on the day of the palace banquet, the little girl lost her purity in public within the palace, not only would the Crown Prince not want her, but the Tian Family would also disdain her, and then no man in the world would have her.

Only thus could she vent the hatred in her heart!

Unable to wait two more days to see the Leng Family girl, the Empress Dowager couldn’t wait any longer and that very night issued an imperial decree for the Crown Prince to bring Leng Yu Yan to Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager had not seen the Crown Prince for two months. After looking him over repeatedly, this grandson who had lost his sight, she let out a long sigh, pulled Ye Yiheng to sit beside her, and then turned her gaze to the veiled young girl standing to the side.

“Are you the Leng Family girl?”

Her voice carried deep-seated authority as she spoke.

Leng Yu Yan bowed respectfully and replied, “In response to the Empress Dowager, I am.”

Just before, she had glanced at the Empress Dowager who, despite her full head of silver hair, seemed vigorous and alert, with few wrinkles, and eyes sharp as ever.

Apparently, the Empress Dowager took great displeasure in her.

The Empress Dowager’s gaze lingered on Leng Yu Yan’s veiled face for a moment before turning to Ye Yiheng, “Crown Prince, would it please your Imperial Grandmother to choose another woman as your Crown Princess Consort?”

Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan’s brow twitched.

To her surprise, Ye Yiheng spoke out, “Imperial Grandmother’s kindness is noted, and this grandson’s heart is grateful. However, as I am currently unwell, I truly dare not bring misery unto another lady.”

Leng Yu Yan stood quietly, her heart filled with contempt, thinking the blind man was finally speaking the truth!

He doesn’t want to bring misery unto another lady, but he’s fine with bringing it onto her?

The Empress Dowager sighed affectionately, “My child, do you know that during the time I spent in the temple, that girl from the Zheng Family made the lengthy journey to visit me several times. There’s no better girl in the world than her, and your Imperial Grandmother thinks that Zheng Liqi should be the one to be chosen as your Crown Princess Consort.”

Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan’s lips slightly curled up.

Very good, excellent!

At that moment, the Empress Dowager’s piercing gaze fell upon her again, “Leng Family girl, what do you think about the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister’s Mansion being the Crown Princess Consort?”

Leng Yu Yan sincerely replied, “In response to the Empress Dowager, I think that would be splendid!”

Her tone carried obvious relief and joy.

This upset Ye Yiheng’s handsome brows.

“Hmm!” the Empress Dowager turned back to the Crown Prince, “You see, even she agrees. Let’s change the candidate for Crown Princess Consort then.”

Just as Leng Yu Yan felt she could finally make her escape unscathed, Ye Yiheng suddenly spoke up, “Imperial Grandmother, please forgive me, but after spending time together these days, this grandson has her in my heart. Therefore, there’s no need to change the candidate for Crown Princess Consort.”

Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan froze.

This man had her in his heart? Who would believe such nonsense!

The Empress Dowager huffed lightly, her gaze falling on the bandage around Leng Yu Yan’s neck, and then she asked with a cold tone, “Remove the bandage around your neck.”

Had she heard right that her face had spots on it, or could it be that her neck did as well?

Leng Yu Yan touched her neck but did not remove the bandage.
