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

Chapter 133: Chapter 133 Stirring

The Crown Prince actually went to kiss Miss Lai!

This proves that Your Highness still fancies Miss Lai!

Song Guo was overjoyed in his heart.

Miss Lai’s face had no flaws, seemingly a Heavenly Immortal descended to earth, and she was the most compatible with His Highness!

On the other side, Mo Chen hastily averted his eyes; as a servant, it seemed inappropriate to witness the Master kissing.

Just as their joy had yet to fully blossom, they heard a “plop,” and immediately after, Miss Lai scolding the Crown Prince as a “playboy.” Both of them snapped back to reality.

Seeing their own Crown Prince being pushed into the bath by Miss Lai, both were stunned as if turned to stone.

Leng Yu Yan was so angry her chest heaved violently, “I’m ignoring him!”

Having said that, she stormed out in a huff.

“Miss, this…” Song Guo chased after her, “Miss…”

Mo Chen, watching Ye Yiheng’s body visibly sink down rapidly, called out to Leng Yu Yan’s retreating figure, “Miss, His Highness he…”

He didn’t know what to say, and with only a few words out of his mouth, he dove into the bath to drag Ye Yiheng out.

Hearing the splashing of water, Leng Yu Yan stopped in her tracks but did not turn around, her lips tightly pursed as she spoke indifferently, “Tonight’s treatment ends here.”

With those words, she hurried away.

—

In the following two days, Ye Yiheng found that a certain woman, upon seeing him within the Eastern Palace, performed her curtsy in a perfunctory manner.

She would hastily bow and then hurry away.

Sometimes, before he could even catch her scent, the sound of her footsteps would already be fading away from him.

Although he was blind, his senses were exceptionally sharp—he could tell this woman was avoiding him.

Lost in confusion, he asked Song Guo beside him, “Is she avoiding me because she was upset that I pushed her away when she was treating my eyes that day?”

At this moment, Your Highness referred to her, and Song Guo knew it was Miss Lai.

But judging from what the Crown Prince said, did he only remember pushing Miss Lai away that day? Could it be that the Crown Prince had no recollection of what happened after the cold disease struck?

Song Guo paced in his mind several times before he spoke softly, “Your Highness, I have an inappropriate question to ask. The night Miss treated Your Highness’s eyes, you had an attack of the cold disease. Do you remember what you did then?”

Ye Yiheng massaged his temple, “That night, I pushed her away and immediately fell unconscious. When I woke up, it was already the next morning.”

Song Guo sighed, “As expected, Your Highness does not remember.”

“What should I remember?”

“Your Highness was holding the back of Miss’s head that night, wanting to…” Song Guo took a deep breath, unable to continue with the uncomfortable topic.

Wasn’t this making things difficult for a little eunuch?

“I was holding the back of her head to do what?”

Hearing Song Guo stumble over his words and still not answering, Ye Yiheng tilted his head slightly and spoke to Mo Chen who followed close behind, “You tell me.”

Mo Chen scratched his head awkwardly, “Your Highness wanted to kiss Miss Lai.”

“Nonsense!” Ye Yiheng’s face turned cold on the spot.

Song Guo and Mo Chen promptly knelt on the ground, “Your Highness, please calm your anger, it is indeed the truth!”

“Nonsense, how could I kiss her?” Ye Yiheng said sternly, “Today, if you fail to give a reason, I will dock your salaries for a year!”

Upon hearing that they faced the punishment of losing their salaries, Song Guo boldly said, “Miss has no speckles on her face, and although Your Highness has never seen Miss without speckles, perhaps Your Highness’s heart has already been eagerly stirring, and just like that, you kissed her. Although Your Highness was not conscious at the time, one’s true feelings will not deceive. Your Highness, would you say I am right?”

“How ridiculous!” Ye Yiheng “hmphed” disdainfully. “Even ‘eagerly stirring’ you can use, you’re doing quite well as a eunuch!”

Song Guo shuddered all over, his head lowered, giving Mo Chen a meaningful glance.

Biting his teeth, Mo Chen also said, “Your Highness, Song Guo’s analysis may not be correct.”

Hearing this, Song Guo furrowed his brows, staring at him in surprise.

Mo Chen hastily added, head bowed, “But that night Miss was treating Your Highness with acupuncture, and Your Highness seemed to wake up in the bath and without a word grabbed the back of her head. That is indeed a fact. Perhaps Your Highness did not want to kiss her lips but her cheek instead. After all, you didn’t manage to kiss her in the end, and we don’t know where Your Highness really wanted to kiss. But what is certain is that Your Highness woke up and forgot that moment.”

Song Guo quickly continued the conversation, “Exactly, that is true! However I put it, if Your Highness still does not believe us, there’s nothing we can do.”

“Your Highness had your eyes open at the time, seeming to have awakened, but Miss said Your Highness might not have woken up.” Mo Chen guessed, “Thinking about it now, Your Highness might have been sleepwalking.”

Upon hearing this, Song Guo became very anxious.

The Crown Prince was blind, sickly, and now he might add sleepwalking to his list of ailments.

What was to be done?

“Baseless fabrications!” The air around Ye Yiheng was cold as if blown in by a north wind in the depths of winter.

Mo Chen and Song Guo’s heads dropped even lower, thinking of their own salaries, they in unison said, “Your Highness, if not, why has Miss ignored you for two days?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Yiheng’s ears faintly reddened.

It was then Leng Yu Yan, returning from the Imperial College to the Eastern Palace, saw that certain person standing coldly by the lake with Song Guo and Mo Chen kneeling on the ground; she intended to detour around and keep walking.

Out of the corner of his eye, Song Guo caught a glimpse of her figure, as if he had spotted a savior: “Miss, save us!”

Leng Yu Yan paused in her steps.

“Miss, please save us! Your Highness is going to, going to…” Song Guo sneaked a peek at the dark face of his own Crown Prince, saw the reddening ears, and happily continued, “Please, Miss, ask for leniency on our behalf!”

Seeing Song Guo’s zealous performance, Mo Chen also started shaking and said, “Please ask the Miss to say a few good words to Your Highness on our behalf.”

Leng Yu Yan did not wish to encounter that certain person, but seeing the two on the ground shaking so terribly, she finally moved her feet and walked over.

Giving a certain person a bow with her hands together, she asked, “How have these two angered Your Highness?”

Ye Yiheng coughed lightly, “These two have spoken nonsense, I merely imposed a year’s salary penalty, that’s all.”

Hearing his non-answer, Leng Yu Yan leaned in slightly to ask the two kneeling, “What wrong did you commit?”

Song Guo made a face of misery, saying, “Miss, it’s so unfair, Your Highness asked us to speak the truth, we did, and yet Your Highness does not believe us.”

Mo Chen hurriedly nodded in agreement, “Yes, Your Highness asked, and we answered, but Your Highness doesn’t trust us and insists on imposing a penalty.”

“It seems to me like one willing to give and two willing to receive. No one is saying what the problem is, so how can you ask me to come and judge?” As she spoke, Leng Yu Yan once again gave Ye Yiheng a bowing gesture, “I shall take my leave!”

Straightening up, Leng Yu Yan walked toward Tingfeng Garden.

Song Guo shouted aloud, “That night, Your Highness wanted to kiss Miss, but Your Highness won’t admit it. We spoke the truth, yet Your Highness still does not believe us, how unjust! Please, Miss, adjudicate!”

Leng Yu Yan stopped in her tracks, turned her head slightly, and softly said, “Hmph, how could the esteemed Crown Prince assume the behavior of a playboy? Of course, you wouldn’t admit it!”

Her voice was quiet enough that others around couldn’t hear.

Ye Yiheng, however, heard her loud and clear; Song Guo and Mo Chen, kneeling on the ground, also heard.

In an instant, Ye Yiheng’s ears turned even redder.

He actually did want to kiss her that night!

Had he gone mad?

It must have been the sleepwalking!
