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

Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Throwing Oneself into Someone’s Arms

“You…”

Madman!

Leng Yu Yan was so angry she wanted to curse, fire nearly sparking in her eyes.

“Don’t worry, we are just becoming betrothed.”

His thin lips slightly pursed, his complexion as cold and indifferent as water.

Truly, he appeared gentle as a mild breeze under the bright moon, yet he acted in dark, coldblooded ways.

How could there be such a contradictory and despicable person?

“I’ve figured it out!” Leng Yu Yan snorted coldly and laughed mockingly, “You have a short life, and the Emperor wants to find you a wife, but you don’t want to harm the one you love, so you forcefully drag me into this.”

She had even disguised herself as ugly!

Yet he didn’t care about marrying an ugly wife, there had to be a reason.

After thinking it through, there could only be this reason!

Ye Yiheng sat back in his chair, his hands pausing as he adjusted his sleeves, “Think whatever you like.”

His expression was dark, a coldness that seemed to freeze everything around him chilling to the bone.

“To protect the one in your heart, you have the nerve to drag others down, regardless of whether or not I am willing!” Leng Yu Yan’s eyes narrowed, and she scoffed coldly, “Ye Yiheng, you truly know how to scheme!”

That woman dared to call him by his name, and Ye Yiheng’s phoenix eyes slightly narrowed.

Seeing that he remained silent, Leng Yu Yan smiled coldly, “The reputation of an unmarried woman is extremely important. If I were to…”

Her words were not yet finished when he interrupted her, “I have made myself very clear. If you are not obedient, I will personally put an end to you!”

His voice was clear and deep, his tone steady and unhurried, yet the words he spoke were so chilling.

Leng Yu Yan glared at him fiercely, looking at the white gauze covering his eyes, feeling an impulse to stride forward, tear it off and shred it.

He was blind, and when he reached out to grasp her earlier, it must have been by sound.

If she acted quickly at this moment, could she take him down?

After all, he was a blind man!

Using this weakness, perhaps she would have a chance to win.

With this thought, Leng Yu Yan’s palm turned into a blade, her figure moved instantly like a specter, and she charged straight for his face.

Seeing her slender hands, her wrists rotating towards hitting his fontanelle.

Ye Yiheng lightly chuckled, this woman indeed had hidden strengths.

The killing intent layered on, yet he remained unmoved like a mountain.

Just as her palm wind neared his face, Ye Yiheng’s large palm spun and tightly clasped her wrist.

“Throwing yourself into the embrace?”

His hand was icy cold to the bone, holding her slender wrist like this, where their skin touched, it felt as though it was covered in ice, making her unable to summon any inner strength.

“Let go!” Leng Yu Yan struggled, but his hand was like a cold iron vice, immovable, “Otherwise, I’ll call for help. The illustrious Crown Prince holding onto someone’s hand and refusing to let go.”

Ye Yiheng’s expression was cold, “I have no interest in you whatsoever!”

Then he let her go.

The force was so great, Leng Yu Yan stumbled, nearly falling.

She could neither out-curse nor out-fight him.

Leng Yu Yan was so angry her face turned red, a chill filling her eyes, she stamped her foot hard and turned to leave the study.

Seeing her mistress come out in such a rage, Miao Zhu hurriedly opened the umbrella.

“Miss, your complexion is poor.”

“Let’s talk when we get back.”

They were surrounded by his people, it was best to speak less.

Miao Zhu glanced back at the not few palace maids and eunuchs standing behind her before she followed her mistress into the curtain of rain.

They arrived at Tingfeng Garden.

Leng Yu Yan reached up to touch her neck, “Miao Zhu, quickly check for me. My neck isn’t broken, is it?”

She could speak, so naturally it wasn’t broken, but the moment just before still left her shaken.

“Miss, what happened to you to be scared like this?” Miao Zhu squatted down and removed the wet shoes and stockings from Leng Yu Yan’s feet.

Mrs. Zhao brought over warm water to help her mistress soak her feet.

Only then did Leng Yu Yan slowly say, “He wanted to kill me.”

As soon as Mrs. Zhao heard this, she almost overturned the basin of water.

Miao Zhu was even more scared, “Did the Crown Prince take action?”

“He wanted to act, but he stopped himself.” Leng Yu Yan raised her eyes, “Do you think I should poison him to death tonight, the kind where no one would notice?”

Miao Zhu nodded, “Good!”

Mrs. Zhao turned pale with fright, her hands trembling as she washed Leng Yu Yan’s feet, “Miss, think thrice before you act! If the Crown Prince really has an accident, you won’t be able to escape.”

“Lady and the eldest son are no longer here. If anything happens to Miss, how can I report to the departed Lady and the eldest son?” Mrs. Zhao’s tears continuously fell into the basin, “Miss, you must live well in this lifetime, only then will Lady and the eldest son be consoled.”

“Don’t cry, Mrs. Zhao. I am just speaking out of anger,” Leng Yu Yan patted her on the shoulder.

If he really harshly moved against her, she couldn’t be blamed for retaliating with poison!

At worst, it would be a Pyrrhic victory, both sides suffering!

Worried that Leng Yu Yan might do something foolish at night, Mrs. Zhao stood outside the bed, watching her fall asleep, then she let down the bed-curtain, closed the room door, and quietly left.

Marquis Jiangyang Mansion.

Princess Heng Yuan Ye Yuan and Prince Consort Marquis Jiangyang Ji Liancheng were both staring at Ji Qingyu.

Seeing him with an indifferent manner, Ji Liancheng couldn’t hold back his anger, stood up from his chair, and angrily scolded, “If you don’t want to come back, then just don’t!”

“I didn’t want to come back, was it not because Mother had someone pass the message?” Ji Qingyu fiddled with the Jade Pendant in his hand, “Now that I returned, let’s get straight to the point if you have something to say!” @@novelbin@@

Princess Heng Yuan pinched her hand that got injured several years ago, gently starting to speak, “Qingyu, the Crown Prince will soon be marrying. You are about the same age, so how about we also settle your marital matters?”

“Which girl has Mother taken a liking to for your son this time?”

“You child, this time, your mother and father want to listen to your opinion.”

Ji Qingyu’s fingers brushed over the texture of the Jade Pendant, paused for a moment, then lifted his gaze, “My marriage, I’ll decide on my own. Would you two agree to this?”

Princess Heng Yuan smiled gently, “So you mean to say that you have someone in mind?”

Ji Qingyu: “Pretty much.”

Hearing this, the stern-faced Marquis Jiangyang Ji Liancheng sat back down, “Which family’s girl is it? You haven’t used any underhanded methods, have you?”

“Heh, Father thinks so lowly of your son?” Ji Qingyu stood up, intending to leave.

Princess Heng Yuan, anxious, reached out and grabbed her son’s arm.

Seeing his mother’s injured hand, Ji Qingyu’s heart softened, and he sat down again, “I don’t know which family’s girl she is, but my heart desires her, and in this life, I shall marry none but her!”

At these words, Princess Heng Yuan and her husband Marquis Jiangyang Ji Liancheng exchanged a glance.

Ji Liancheng was about to speak, but the Eldest Princess quelled him with a look.

“Given your hot temper, let me do the asking.” The Eldest Princess turned her head, speaking softly to Ji Qingyu, “My child, what is her name? How did you meet her?”

“She is called Li Yu. About half a year ago when my arm was broken, it was she who stepped in to heal it. Not only that, at the time I was robbed of all my silver and was penniless, and it was she who lent me 500 silver taels.”

“So it seems this girl has both medical skill and a kind heart.” After a pause, the Eldest Princess asked again, “And how does she look?”

“Her appearance will certainly not disappoint Mother!”

“So confident?”

“Certainly, she is thousands of times, no, a million times better than Ye Yiheng’s Crown Princess Consort!”

At this, Marquis Jiangyang Ji Liancheng burst out laughing, laughing so hard his chest heaved, then he slapped the table forcefully, “In that case, let’s invite her over to our house these few days. Your mother and I would like to see our future daughter-in-law as well!”
