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

Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Where has it become beautiful

Hearing this, Ye Yiheng’s eyes under the white gauze silently stared at her, his gaze growing colder and more distant.

That day, when she had defiantly called him by his name, she almost bit her teeth to pieces.

Now, calling Li Yuyue, her voice was surprisingly sweet and pleasant.

She even called him “Brother Lai” and worried about the blemish ruining his eye. This woman…

It made him feel somewhat choked up.

Leng Yu Yan calmly looked around.

The singing and dancing girls at the center of the hall were indeed well-trained and continued their performance smoothly.

The palace maids and eunuchs, upon seeing her face, turned their heads away…

Their expressions of disgust and disdain were unmistakable.

In that case, there was no need for her to stay any longer. So she stood up, bowed to Ye Yiheng, and said, “I shall take my leave.”

Seeing his cold and proud demeanor, she didn’t wait for any reaction; Leng Yu Yan turned and left gracefully.

Seeing that she hadn’t gone far, the Ninth Princess covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said, “Sixth Brother, if you had seen it, you would’ve thrown up even worse than I!”

Ye Yiheng’s expression was faint, his voice cool, “See the guests out.”

With that, he rose and left with Song Guo’s assistance.

The host of Eastern Palace directly ordered the guests away, and Li Yuyue immediately stood, made a bow towards the back of Ye Yiheng, and strode away.

It was then that the singing and dancing girls stopped, their gazes uniformly turning towards the Ninth Princess who had brought them here.

In such a circumstance, the Ninth Princess scoffed a few times…

“What a Li Yuyue, he dare claim that the Leng Family’s ugly girl has extremely beautiful features.”

Extremely beautiful? @@novelbin@@

Beautiful my foot!

Also, he didn’t even say goodbye; leaving so quietly, does he really disregard her so?

A hostage, arrogant about what?

At this thought, the Ninth Princess laughed coldly.

It was a quiet spring night, and as the music of pipes and strings had ceased, the dancing girls around dared not make a sound aside from breathing.

The cold laughter of the Ninth Princess lingered in the air of Eastern Palace, quite eerie.

She realized it herself and stopped laughing, angrily shouting at a palace maid beside her, “Are everyone’s eyes blind?”

The palace maids and eunuchs of the Eastern Palace, upon hearing this, showed displeasure but dared not speak up.

“Blind” was a taboo word in the Eastern Palace.

Few dared to mention the word in Eastern Palace, only the Ninth Princess could, relying on the Emperor’s favor.

The palace maids of Xingning Palace immediately bowed, “Princess, what would you need?”

The Ninth Princess heavily slapped the armrest of her wooden wheelchair, “Why haven’t you carried the Princess to the sedan chair yet?”

“Yes, yes, yes,” the palace maids immediately gathered around.

Meanwhile, Leng Yu Yan returned to Tingfeng Garden.

Just now in the hall, there were numerous palace maids and eunuchs, and they had all seen her unveil her mask.

Therefore, it was necessary to inform Miao Zhu and Mrs. Zhao.

After hearing, they acknowledged they understood.

Leng Yu Yan nodded, “My meaning is, no matter what others say, you all need not worry. It’s not worth upsetting ourselves over!”

While speaking, the spotted skin on the veil suddenly snapped and fell to the ground.

Miao Zhu quickly picked it up, “Miss, did it come off after revealing it at the restaurant and then sticking it back on again? It wasn’t secure?”

Leng Yu Yan carefully examined the back of the skin, “It’s the glue that was torn off once and then reattached, not sturdy enough.”

Suddenly she felt somewhat frightened, fortunate that it hadn’t fallen off earlier, or she couldn’t have explained it.

At this moment in the Crown Prince’s bedroom.

Song Guo took the white gauze off in front of Ye Yiheng and quietly asked, “Your Highness, did you clearly see the spots on Miss Lai’s face?”

“Yes.”

Gaze melancholic, voice cold.

Seeing His Highness with a stern expression on his face, Song Guo couldn’t help but ask again, “Is Your Highness so shocked that you cannot speak?”

“Setting aside other factors, a woman with such a large birthmark on her face must have had a hard life these past few years.”

Hearing this, Song Guo was too shocked to speak.

After a long while, he stuttered, “Your Highness, Your Highness, are you concerned about Miss Lai?”

If that was truly the case, it wouldn’t be bad.

From his observations during these days, Miss Lai was kindhearted and could reasonably be a suitable companion by His Highness’s side.

It’s just a birthmark on the face, it can be covered.

Watching his expression change dramatically, from shock to joy, Ye Yiheng explained in a soft voice, “A woman cares most about her appearance, what I spoke of is mere common sense.”

Song Guo quickly added, “To be honest, I used to think Miss Lai was not worthy of Your Highness. Now it seems she is genuinely sincere. She lacks the artifice that other noble family daughters possess. Rumor has it she even can’t read a single character, but that day she emerged victorious, I was truly amazed.”

Ye Yiheng, who rarely sighed, murmured gently, “Such is the will of heavens.”

The Father Emperor had betrothed her to him; he was blind, she was plain-looking, only then did they match.

This must be what fate intended.

Also, these past few days his eyes had been uncomfortably itchy, following the previous pattern, in a few days, he would be blind again.

Song Guo didn’t hear clearly, so he asked, “What did Your Highness say?”

“Did you see the food boxes they were carrying just now?”

“Yes, I saw them. The crest on the outside of the boxes was very noticeable,” Song Guo said puzzledly. “On the day of the calligraphy competition, Miss Lai’s sixth sister asked her if the meals in the Eastern Palace were not filling or good, could it be that Miss Lai genuinely dislikes the food at the Eastern Palace?”

“Not at all, she just doesn’t want to go back,” Ye Yiheng slowly raised his hand and touched the four-claw pattern on the Crown Prince Python Robe hanging beside him.

She doesn’t want to return to the Eastern Palace and only comes back after dining outside because she detests his blindness.

The State Preceptor and the Imperial Physicians concluded he would not live past twenty-two, now he was nineteen with only three years left.

If he died, the position of Crown Prince would hang in balance.

But the Father Emperor could not wait for his death and wanted to depose him as soon as possible.

Under the pretext of finding him a Crown Princess Consort, letting him have a wife before dying, to show the vastness of the Imperial grace.

As for the selection of the Crown Princess Consort, he, a Crown Prince soon to be deposed, had no say.

She was angry and irritated with him for that, and rightly so.

There was no fondness between him and her, the marriage that lay ahead would hardly need much attention.

That would indeed save trouble.

After his death, as she held no affection for him, the rest of her years would likely be easy.

However, since she was about to become his Crown Princess Consort, she couldn’t be allowed to romanticize outside.

For the rest of what she does, he could turn a blind eye, only she must not cuckold him.

Yet—

Today, Lai Yu even said she was extremely beautiful.

Where was the beauty?

He couldn’t see it.

He only saw dark red patches shining under the candlelight, indicating the good nutrition from the fine hairs. Good food, fine hairs.

This woman even said the food at the Eastern Palace was so-so.

Forget it, it was just a trivial matter.

A woman is not worthy of too much of his attention!

Seeing His Highness furrow his brows, Song Guo murmured, “Tomorrow I’ll check the main kitchen and see if someone is skimping on the food for Tingfeng Garden.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Yiheng did not reply but turned instead to ask Mo Chen, “Has there been any news from Ruofeng?”

Mo Chen bowed, “Your Highness, there has been none so far.”

Ye Yiheng said quietly, “Tell him to hasten the process.”

Hiring a Divine Doctor was taking far too long, truly torturous.

Was it that his guards and Hidden Guards were incompetent, or did the other party possess some strength, had he underestimated them?
