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

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Can It Be Not Blind?

“Yes, Your Highness,” Mo Chen said respectfully. “This so-called ‘Divine Doctor’ is actually a swindler with some medical skills. The bigger he makes his claims, the more famous he becomes.”

Song Guo chimed in, “Based on the previous fake divine doctor incident, it’s indeed true.”

Mo Chen spoke bitterly, “Once we bring in the Divine Doctor, if he fails to cure Your Highness’ eyes and cold disease, I will certainly hold him accountable. At that time, I’ll expose his fraud and even want to gouge out his eyes to appease my anger.”

To this, Ye Yiheng remained silent.

Suddenly, his vision blurred before his eyes, and he sat down, closing his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose, regaining some clarity after a moment.

—

A day later, on a holiday, the weather was clear and bright.

There were no flowers in the Eastern Palace, but there were plenty of willows by the lake.

Planting willows in the Capital City was quite challenging.

Yet the willows in the Eastern Palace gently spread their yellow-green sprouts, adding a vibrant touch to the majestic palace nearby.

Leng Yu Yan calculated the time she had agreed to meet with Chun Liu and Xia Tao, guessing that a message by carrier pigeon would arrive today.

She hurried back to Tingfeng Garden, made a quick arrangement of her belongings, and prepared to return to the Leng Residence.

Just as she and Miao Zhu approached the main gate of the Eastern Palace, the scene at the entrance hastened her steps.

Previously, she had agreed to help Li Yuyue choose a birthday gift. However, after she had unveiled her face the previous day, displaying her blemishes, he must have been scared and no longer willing to seek her help.

Unexpectedly, he appeared at the gate of the Eastern Palace.

Not only that, Li Yuyue was accompanied by Lai Jiajia.

Seeing her approach, Lai Jiajia waved excitedly, “Sister!”

“Per our earlier agreement, I took the liberty to come pick you up today,” Li Yuyue became polite, performing a peer greeting, “We’ll need Miss Lai’s help in picking the birthday gift for our mother.”

Leng Yu Yan smiled in response, “Brother Lai, you can simply call me Yu Yan.”

Li Yuyue nodded politely.

At that moment, Lai Jiajia glared at the gatekeeper, “Heir Lai and I came to see my sister, not to visit the Crown Prince. Why wouldn’t you let us in?”

Upon seeing Leng Yu Yan approaching, the gatekeeper respectfully explained, “Crown Princess Consort, His Highness has ordered that when he is not in the Eastern Palace, no unauthorized persons may enter.”

“It’s fine, I will leave the Eastern Palace. They have come to pick me up,” Leng Yu Yan smiled faintly and then stepped out of the gate.

Lai Jiajia happily linked arms with her, “I also want to pick out some jewelry at the Treasure Building. I was just coming to find you and happened to meet Brother Lai. It’s really fortunate that we got together.”

The group went to the Treasure Building chatting and laughing.

Upon entering the building, Leng Yu Yan signaled Miao Zhu to return alone to the Leng Residence at Qingyu Residence.

Today a message would come by carrier pigeon, and Miao Zhu knew her responsibility, giving Leng Yu Yan a reassuring glance, “Miss, the maid will leave.”

“Okay, be careful on the road.”

Miao Zhu nodded and quickly departed.

Lai Jiajia watched Miao Zhu leave and asked, “Why did she leave?”

“I meant to go home today to pick up some clothes, so I sent Miao Zhu instead. Let’s stay here and help Brother Lai select a good birthday gift.”

“Thank you for that, Yu Yan!” Li Yuyue raised his hand in gesture.

Leng Yu Yan smiled slightly, “No trouble at all, Brother Lai, you’re too polite.”

On the other side.

Ye Yiheng returned to the Eastern Palace, accompanied by Jian Lecheng.

The gatekeeper had not yet had the chance to report that Leng Yu Yan had left the Eastern Palace when Fan Minmin hurried over.

“Cousin, Cousin-in-law was officially taken away,” Fan Minmin frowned, “Didn’t cousin say that no unauthorized persons should enter when cousin is not in the Eastern Palace?”

Ye Yiheng turned his head and asked the gatekeeper, “What happened?”

“Your Highness…” the gatekeeper began, only to be interrupted by Fan Minmin.

“Cousin, it was the Heir of Prince Zhenbei who barged in forcibly, stopped by the gatekeeper, then took ‘cousin-in-law’ away.”

The words “cousin-in-law” were emphasized heavily by Fan Minmin.

Hearing this, Ye Yiheng slightly furrowed his handsome brows, “What did he take her for?”

A dangerous flash in Fan Minmin’s eyes, “Minmin only heard bits, something about Treasure Building, seems like the Heir wanted to buy some jewelry for cousin-in-law.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Yiheng immediately turned around.

“Your Highness…”

the gatekeeper hurriedly spoke, but before he could finish, Fan Minmin quietly pinched his arm forcefully, her fierce gaze glaring the words right back into his mouth.

Jian Lecheng, looking at the severe frown on Ye Yiheng’s face, cautiously advised, “Your Highness, don’t be angry, anger harms the body!”

“I’m not angry,” Ye Yiheng said as he climbed into the horse carriage with Song Guo’s assistance, “To Treasure Building.”

His voice was cold and desolate,

The words “I’m not angry” were clearly uttered through gritted teeth, and nobody listening believed the Crown Prince was not angry.

Song Guo, wordlessly and anxiously, watched his master’s expressions.

A few days ago, the Heir Lai said that Miss Lai Wu’s features were extraordinarily beautiful; could it be… @@novelbin@@

Where does this place his lord?

Prince Zhenbei Mansion really is audacious; don’t they know that Lai Yuyue in the Capital is a hostage, meant to implicitly suggest to Prince Zhenbei to restrain himself and not to overshadow his master?

Even the Crown Prince’s betrothed, the Heir Lai dared to take away, to Treasure Building, to buy what jewelry.

This, this, this—His Highness might not like Miss Lai Wu, but he was definitely infuriated!

The horse carriage traveled quickly, and in less than thirty minutes, they arrived outside Treasure Building.

Inside at that moment, Leng Yu Yan was holding a pair of bracelets, speaking to Lai Yuyue, “This jade bracelet is delicate and translucent, rich in texture, making it look luxuriously exquisite when worn on the wrist. Bracelets of such color and quality would suit Aunt Wang Fei perfectly!”

Lai Jiajia leaned in, nodding repeatedly, “Sister is right, the hairpin and step ring I chose for Aunt Wang Fei earlier are not suitable.”

Leng Yu Yan covered her mouth with a laugh, “A hairpin is one of the tokens of betrothal, typically given by a man to his fiancée, symbolizing a marital bond. Brother Lai giving it to Mother, that’s naturally inappropriate!”

Lai Jiajia playfully stuck out her tongue, “Sister, I was wrong!”

Lai Yuyue laughed heartily, “No harm, no harm!”

Just then, Ye Yiheng, assisted by Song Guo, approached them.

“My Crown Princess Consort seems to be in good spirits!”

Selecting hairpins, step rings, and choosing jade bracelets.

Also, that token of engagement!

Suddenly appearing, Ye Yiheng, with a face of gloom, puzzled Leng Yu Yan.

“Your Highness came here, evidently you too are in good spirits, intending to choose some jewelry for Lady?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Yiheng frowned and strode over, accurately seizing Leng Yu Yan’s slender white wrist and forcibly dragging her outside.

“What are you doing? You’re hurting me!”

Seeing that he didn’t respond, Leng Yu Yan could only raise her hand holding the pair of jade bracelets, signaling Lai Yuyue to take them.

Lai Yuyue, quick to act, caught the jade bracelets and blocked Ye Yiheng’s path, “Your Highness, such behavior is inappropriate in public!”

Ye Yiheng coldly responded, “Lai Yuyue, I will settle your account personally.”

As he spoke, he dragged Leng Yu Yan by the hand, familiarly boarding the Eastern Palace Carriage.

Leng Yu Yan, suppressing her anger, asked, “What are you trying to do?”

If he walks so freely in the Eastern Palace at night because he’s overly familiar, here at Treasure Building, he could precisely catch her hand and accurately board the carriage…

Could it be he is not blind?
