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

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: The Profligate Crown Prince

Although she knew that evildoers brought trouble upon themselves, someone’s ruthless means involuntarily made her think of her own slender neck.

“Very well,” Ye Yiheng’s thin lips parted slightly, “it’s getting late, tonight, we’ll look at my eye ailment.”

Leng Yu Yan struggled to nod her head, “Okay.”

Would he demand her life on the spot tonight if she couldn’t provide some constructive comments on his eye condition?

The more she thought about it, the more nervous Leng Yu Yan became, swallowing hard, “Your Highness, may I return to change my clothes? Wearing men’s clothes is somewhat uncomfortable.”

Her chest was tight.

She needed to go back and change clothes, and also to tuck silver needles into her sleeve pocket, just in case.

“Mm,” Ye Yiheng responded indifferently.

—

After changing clothes at Tingfeng Garden and arriving at someone’s bedroom, Leng Yu Yan couldn’t help but feel dizzy again.

However, she’d had fewer such dreams recently.

She was now able to bear the dizziness.

Upon entering the room and seeing no sign of him around, she looked around.

Eunuch Song Guo came out from the inner room and spoke softly, “Miss, please come inside.”

Leng Yu Yan nodded, took a deep breath, and followed Song Guo’s footsteps inside.

Ye Yiheng, already changed into a light robe, sat at the table waiting for her.

Attended by a palace maid, Leng Yu Yan washed her hands.

“Your Highness, if I inadvertently hurt you during the examination, please forgive me!”

As she spoke, she gently removed the white gauze from in front of his eyes.

Ye Yiheng clenched his fist, “Mm.”

Seeing him still with his eyes closed, Leng Yu Yan slowly said, “Your Highness, please open your eyes.”

Hearing this, the man finally opened his eyes.

Even though she had seen his eyes before, at this moment, she was still stunned by his phoenix eyes.

His eyes were a deep amber, and his lashes were very long.

Judging by appearance alone, he had an extremely beautiful pair of eyes.

However—

Although his eyes clearly reflected the surroundings, even her figure, which she could see quite clearly,

she knew that he truly couldn’t see, because there was no light in his eyes, lacking the feeling of stars and seas, the sense of the Milky Way she had seen before.

“Your Highness, this condition is the most painful one in the world. Usually, people born blind can’t feel the presence of their eyes, let alone understand their function. Those who go blind later in life might occasionally remember the scenes they’ve seen before, but as time goes on, they get used to the condition.”

Having said this, Leng Yu Yan turned to Song Guo, “Eunuch Song Guo, could you trouble the palace maids to leave? Stand guard at the door.”

Song Guo immediately complied, instructing the palace maids to exit, while Mo Chen stood guard outside the door, and he inside.

Leng Yu Yan then continued, “Whether congenitally blind or blinded later in life, their lives may be inconvenient, but their world isn’t as desperate as we imagine. Because most of the time, they are not aware of the existence of their eyes, which are useless to them.”

“For that reason, the world of the blind isn’t dark, nor entirely void, it is a state of nothingness.”

“Those who will never see have come to adapt to this nothingness.”

“However, Your Highness, your situation is special, this nothingness is probably the most tormenting.”

“Once a person has experienced light, to then plunge into endless nothingness is an extreme pain.”

“After saying so much, Your Highness, am I right?”

Ye Yiheng furrowed his handsome eyebrows, his fists clenched.

Seeing the Crown Prince remain silent, Song Guo asked softly, “Miss, I have a question, does His Highness currently see darkness?”

Leng Yu Yan shook her head, “We, who can see normally, feel light when we close our eyes. Or perhaps you feel darkness when you close your eyes, but that’s not feeling, it’s because that is what our eyes see at that moment. But His Highness is different, even if he opens his eyes wide right now, he can’t see, nor can he see darkness.”

The room fell silent.

Mo Chen outside the door, and Song Guo inside, were both utterly astonished.

They had never imagined that for a person who could not see, the world they perceived was not darkness; it was nothingness.

For His Highness, who suffered from temporary blindness during bouts of his eye disease, what kind of despair was that?

Leng Yu Yan described his symptoms word by word, her voice warm and even, yet it shocked him as if electricity had passed through his eyes, coursing into his limbs and bones, making his whole body slightly numb.

In an instant, his mind was greatly shaken!

Everything she said matched his experience!

He had consulted numerous famous doctors, none of whom had accurately pinpointed his symptoms.

She was the first.

The silence in his heart, at that moment, seemed to regain its beat.

He slowly raised his hand, pressing the spot over his chest; the excitement there was greater than owning a mountain.

Seeing that he remained silent, Leng Yu Yan spoke again, “With the recurrence of the eye disease in such a cycle, Your Highness’s endurance is astonishing! Your Highness, is what I described correct?”

“Correct,” Ye Yiheng said softly, a word at a time.

His voice carried a huskiness, sounding faint and distant at this moment.

“Then I will need to turn your eyelid now, please bear with me, Your Highness!”

“Hmm.”

With permission granted, Leng Yu Yan’s fingers touched his eyelids, gently flipping them, but nothing seemed amiss.

The other eye was the same.

Her fingers continuously touched his skin.

Restlessness rapidly rose within Ye Yiheng, compounded by the symptoms she had just described, agitating his already tumultuous heart, making the restlessness even more intense.

It suddenly triggered an onset of his cold disease.

Ye Yiheng desperately tried to suppress it!

Observing his eye closely, Leng Yu Yan said gently, “Your Highness, after examining your eyes like this, I cannot find anything amiss, I’m afraid we might have to deduce from the poison you’ve been inflicted with in the past.”

Her breath sprayed on his face, near his lips.

The delicate fragrance from her body gently wafted into his nose.

The warmth of her body transmitted from her fingertips into him.

Ye Yiheng controlled himself again and again, feeling as though inside his body two beasts, one hot and one cold, were tearing and fighting.

He began to cough violently and could no longer hold it in; pushing her away with a shove, he violently rose…

…only to unexpectedly fall to the ground.

Seeing this, Leng Yu Yan was startled, “Your Highness?”

Mo Chen and Eunuch Song Guo, hearing the commotion, immediately came over.

Leng Yu Yan took his pulse and frowned, “This is not good, His Highness’s cold disease has flared up again, quickly put him in the bath, I will apply the needles.”

The two nodded and swiftly lifted him up, heading towards the bathing room behind them.

After removing his robe and underwear, leaving only his trousers, Ye Yiheng was immersed by Mo Chen and Eunuch Song Guo in warm water.

Leng Yu Yan applied the silver needles, while Mo Chen exerted his Inner Strength.

After a short while, Ye Yiheng slowly regained consciousness.

Eunuch Song Guo happily exclaimed, “Miss, your medical skill is superb, His Highness has awakened so quickly!”

Mo Chen also said, “Miss’s medical skill is excellent, this timely treatment was crucial.”

Looking at Ye Yiheng’s flushed face and the cold sweat on his forehead, Leng Yu Yan shook her head, “No, I’m afraid he’s not yet fully conscious.”

Right now, he could not see; his eyes, whether open or closed, gave no hint.

While the three were perplexed, Ye Yiheng stretched out an arm, grasped Leng Yu Yan’s nape, and his thin lips pressed against hers.

Leng Yu Yan’s eyes widened in shock, she quickly reacted, placing one hand over his mouth and pushing firmly against his chest with the other.

With a “splash,” Ye Yiheng fell backward into the water, causing ripples to spread.

Leng Yu Yan was so angry her face turned red; she wiped the water splashed on her face and scolded, “Playboy!”
