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

Chapter 78: Chapter 78 His Sinister Intentions

Upon hearing that the Crown Prince had brought someone back to the Eastern Palace, Li Yuyue hurried over with Lai Jiajia.

Jian Lecheng blocked their way, not allowing them to enter the Crown Prince’s bedroom.

“This is the Crown Prince’s sleeping quarters. How can you barge in just like that?”

Lai Jiajia raised her voice, “Can’t I go see my sister?”

Li Yuyue furrowed his brows, “Am I, the Princely Heir, not permitted to see my own sister either?”

Jian Lecheng snorted, “Nobody is allowed!”

Just as Li Yuyue was about to take action, Ye Yiheng emerged, leaning on Song Guo’s arm, and said indifferently, “The Crown Princess Consort is no longer in serious condition; you both may leave.”

Upon hearing this, Lai Jiajia anxiously asked, “What happened to my sister, and what do you mean she’s no longer in serious condition?”

Li Yuyue bowed, “Please clarify, Your Highness! I heard that the Crown Princess Consort returned in a coma.”

Ye Yiheng’s face remained expressionless, “Ji Qingyu abducted the Crown Princess Consort due to past grievances with me. Now that the Crown Princess Consort is in the Eastern Palace, you need not worry.”

“Show our guests out!” With those two words, Ye Yiheng turned and went back into his bedroom.

Jian Lecheng spread his arms to block them, “Heir Lai, Sixth Miss Lai, it’s getting late. Please go back. If anything were truly amiss with the Crown Princess Consort, His Highness would be even more anxious than you. Please return now, it’s best you go back early!”

Having no choice, Li Yuyue and Lai Jiajia had to leave the Eastern Palace.

Leng Yu Yan did not know how long she had been unconscious, but when she woke up, she found herself in someone’s bedroom.

“You go by Li Yu, he goes by Li Yu; did you arrange to steer clear of trouble?”

A sinister and cold voice came from the dark.

“That’s just an alias!” Leng Yu Yan got up, attempting to leave the bed, but her neck was suddenly gripped tightly by his large hand.

She slapped at his hand, exclaiming, “What are you doing?”

Ye Yiheng looked at her slender neck, the corners of his lips curving into a sinister smile, “Your neck is so delicate; I need only exert a little force, just a light twist, and I could easily break it. Do you believe me?”

As he spoke, his long fingers began to tighten slightly.

A sensation of suffocation slowly surfaced, and Leng Yu Yan looked up at him with anger and irritation, “Yes, we agreed to stay away from trouble!”

Away from you!

At the foot of the bed, the Luminous Lamp cast a shadow on his side, casting his face in darkness.

Making it hard for her to see his expression.

The surrounding area was very quiet.

He emitted an icy aura, a powerful presence that oppressed everything around.

The air felt oppressively uncomfortable.

“Hah, good, very good!” Ye Yiheng chuckled coldly, “I wonder if Ji Qingyu has told you, he has someone in his heart.”

“He said that was just a childhood playmate!”

“So, he told you. Leng Yu Yan, you’d rather be that person’s substitute than be my Crown Princess Consort?”

“You strike with lethal cruelty, even against your own cousin. If it weren’t for his parents giving you half the antidote for the cold poison, you’d already be a pile of bones!” Leng Yu Yan laughed, “Ye Yiheng, you really are something! Do you think I’d want to be with someone as ruthless and heartless as you?”

At that moment, her laugh made her eyes startlingly bright and beautiful.

Such bright eyes truly pained his own. @@novelbin@@

No one could perceive his world.

When blind, the world was neither completely dark nor entirely empty; it was a void.

A terrifying void!

Even when he opened his eyes wide, the feeling of not being able to see even a shred or a hint, not even perceiving the darkness, was like the entire world had left him.

“You know nothing, I grew up accustomed to the darkness and filth of the Imperial Palace, I’ve witnessed the most unpredictable and cruel struggles. In the Imperial Palace, even blood brothers can slaughter each other, let alone so-called cousins!”

His voice was cool and mocking.

Leng Yu Yan knew she could not escape, so she defiantly tilted back her head, “According to your words, you might as well have landed that palm on me just now. By this point, I would already be a corpse, saving you the trouble of strangling me!”

“Having been granted in marriage to me, no matter who you have in your heart, from now on be a good Crown Princess Consort!” On that stunningly beautiful visage, his thin lips curled into a sinister smile, “Don’t even think about leaving my side!”

A cold glint flashed through Leng Yu Yan’s eyes, “There are thousands of women in the world, why must you insist on keeping me by your side? Even if no noble daughters are willing to marry you, wouldn’t your father, the Emperor, with a single imperial decree, find someone whose family dares not refuse?”

“I have long been a walking corpse; with you by my side, I won’t be lonely! Through a mountain of daggers or a sea of flames, you’ll walk with me; to hell and back, you’ll enter with me.” Ye Yiheng’s voice was fierce, “Regardless, I won’t hand you over to Ji Qingyu!”

Leng Yu Yan finally cursed out, “Madman!”

Seeing her curse, he was not annoyed but patiently leaned in closer, whispering in her ear with a deep voice, “Crown Princess Consort, are you willing to accompany me?”

His tone was seductive and captivating, like lovers intimately whispering and caressing each other’s necks.

His distinct and unfamiliar breath fell all over the tip of her ear, her cheeks…

She bit into her lip, and her cherry-like rosy lips immediately exuded a glossy allure, tempting to be harvested.

Ye Yiheng slowly straightened up, his hand that was clasping her throat gradually loosened, softly caressing the skin of her neck.

Suddenly, seeing her enticing lips, the gaze beneath the eye veil sharply contracted…

As if possessed, he lowered his head, and just as his lips were about to touch hers…

A scent of refined alcohol entered his nose.

He frowned, “Have you been drinking?”

She laughed with a hum, “Yes, he gave it to me.”

Her beautiful eyes were clear and indifferent, her expression detached.

Instantly, a cold fierceness surfaced between his brows, his voice tinged with a hint of resentment, “Don’t you know that when a man offers a woman a drink, he harbors no good intentions?”

“The one harboring no good intentions at this moment is Your Highness, the Crown Prince.” She said with a surface glossed in mirth, “With such unsightly spots on my face, could Your Highness still bear to kiss it?”

At her words, his hand once again clutched her throat, forcefully tightening his grip.

The sensation of suffocation rose, coupled with the dull pain from his earlier palm strike, bright and clear tears pooled at the corners of her eyes, hanging on her dark lashes, trembling on the brink of falling.

Her face was clearly marred, so how could he harbor the desire to ravage her?

Ye Yiheng was extremely agitated.

His hand slowly moved from her throat to her face, mercilessly kneading as if to vent all his pent-up rage on her.

It was as if, to him, she was nothing but an object for his amusement.

A great alarm surged in Leng Yu Yan’s heart.

She feared the spots stuck to her face would be rubbed off by his kneading.

Hastily blinking, the tears clinging to her lashes fell with a plunk.

One was not enough; more followed.

The heat of her tears made his brow furrow, and he immediately withdrew his hand, “Get out!”

Leng Yu Yan quickly got up but had only taken a few steps before her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

Ye Yiheng frowned coldly and carried her back to the bed.

Laying on the bed, she had her eyes closed.

Ye Yiheng removed his eye veil, gazing at her face, if not for the spots, she indeed had skin as smooth as cream, just as Lai Yuyue had described, her features were extremely beautiful.

But the thought of her frail body shielding Ji Qingyu from his palm strike made an anger rise in Ye Yiheng’s heart, as the internal heat and the chill of the cold poison attacked him simultaneously…
