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

Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Your Neck

Ji Liancheng laughed heartily, “In front of the Crown Prince, I naturally have to say the Crown Princess Consort is better; but if it’s in front of our son, I must say Miss Li Yu is better.”

Ye Yuan smiled warmly, “What my husband says is true!”

Ye Yiheng watched the couple’s subtle interaction with a cool and distant voice, “It seems that Ji Qingyu does indeed have good taste, to have the approval of his Uncle and Aunt.”

Ji Liancheng laughed again, waved his hand, and sat back down, “That boy has his own preferences—it’s his own affair, your Aunt and I don’t interfere much.”

Ye Yiheng’s eyes, hidden by the eye veil, narrowed slightly. His earlier words were merely intended to indirectly find out if they had met him.

Unexpectedly, his Uncle was also crafty, dodging the question so skillfully.

...

This middle-aged couple had lived together for many years; naturally, they had an understanding. He could probe no further, so he said, “Where is Qingyu? Although I cannot see, I still wish to visit him; after all, it was I who acted.”

Ye Yuan promptly instructed the servants, “Go tell the Commandery Prince that the Crown Prince is here.”

Ye Yiheng stopped her, “No need, I will go right now.”

Saying so, he got up.

He would go immediately, catching Ji Qingyu off guard.

It would be best if Ji Qingyu could reveal to the Imperial Aunt that Leng Yu Yan was indeed Li Yu; then the Imperial Aunt would surely oppose her son taking a fancy to Leng Yu Yan.

Looking at that woman, she no longer displayed the fearful demeanor she had in the horse carriage.

Ye Yiheng raised his hand, “Crown Princess Consort, support me.”

Leng Yu Yan lowered her eyes and gently held his arm.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan laughed, “Song Guo sure knows how to be lazy, letting your Crown Princess Consort support you.”

Song Guo answered with a smile, “Eldest Princess doesn’t know, with the Crown Princess Consort by his side, His Highness dislikes me supporting him.”

Hearing this, Ye Yuan’s smile stiffened momentarily, but Ye Yiheng had already walked ahead and did not see.

Arriving outside Ji Qingyu’s bedroom, Song Guo conveyed Ye Yiheng’s intention and pushed the door open.

Ye Yuan cleared her throat and quickly said, “Qingyu, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Consort are here to visit you.”

Ji Qingyu turned his head, his eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, “Get out, I won’t see anyone!”

With that, he picked up the teacup and lamp from the bedside and furiously smashed them toward the door.

Ji Liancheng quickly shut the door, “Your Highness, please forgive him. Qingyu has been emotionally unstable these days.”

The sounds of crashing continued from inside the room.

Ye Yuan awkwardly said, “Ah Heng, I’m really sorry, Qingyu is being unreasonable.”

Underneath his eye veil, Ye Yiheng’s phoenix eyes darkened; he had clearly seen Ji Qingyu’s expression change when he saw Leng Yu Yan.

Ji Qingyu indeed had such scheming, enduring not to expose Leng Yu Yan’s identity.

“In that case, I shall take my leave,” Ye Yiheng said coolly, turning around while holding Leng Yu Yan’s hand.

Ye Yuan and Ji Liancheng hurriedly saw them off.

Once the couple had sent the Crown Prince away, they immediately returned to Ji Qingyu’s bedroom.

Ji Qingyu, alert, was about to throw more things, but Ye Yuan quickly stopped him, “Ah Heng has already left.”

“Son, the Crown Princess Consort is indeed Miss Li Yu,” Ye Yuan sat beside the bed, “Why didn’t you tell your father and me?”

Ji Qingyu was shocked, “Mother knows too?”

The couple nodded together.

“What’s the use of telling you, when both my father and mother are biased blind people?” Ji Qingyu snorted.

Ye Yuan gave him a gentle glare, “I spoke to her quietly, asking her to be my daughter-in-law.”

Hearing this, Ji Qingyu was shocked beyond belief. “She agreed? Mother finally remembered that I am your biological son?”

Ye Yuan affectionately tapped his forehead. “My child, no matter how much I favor Ah Heng, I can’t deny the fact that you are my biological son. When you have a son, he will be my real grandson. Don’t you think I understand that?”

At that moment, Ji Liancheng asked, “Earlier you didn’t expose that the Crown Prince Consort was actually Miss Li Yu, because you had already discussed it with her?”

“It wasn’t really a discussion, as that girl didn’t want to marry Ah Heng and had no choice but to disguise her face with patches. She spoke honestly with me, and for her honesty, I decided to protect her.”

“The marriage that brother arranged for Ah Heng was initially set for another legitimate daughter of the Leng Family. It’s a fact that Ah Heng is frail, and it’s also a fact that no noble daughters want to marry him. It was indeed unfair for the Leng Family to have Li Yu take her place.”

Ye Yuan spoke at length before pausing and then adding, “Moreover, my son likes Li Yu and I’m also fond of her, so let’s find a middle ground that allows each legitimate daughter of the Leng Family to have their own place.”

Ji Liancheng took a deep breath and nodded in approval. “If that girl and my son truly become a couple, the children they have will be extraordinarily beautiful. Then I’ll hold one grandson and one granddaughter in each arm, and our family will be so joyful, envied by many!”

What use were the throne and power to them!

They would simply live freely, content to be just the Eldest Princess, Commandery Prince, and Marquis!

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingyu felt as if the cold poison’s discomfort in his body had completely disappeared.

“My dear parents, so we are going to oppose Uncle Emperor?”

Ye Yuan patted his hand. “My child, what are you saying? Use more euphemistic terms!”

Ji Qingyu smiled and agreed, “Yes, yes, yes!”

“We are only opposing him in matters of your marriage,” Ji Liancheng coughed lightly. “We will not interfere with anything else!”

He had thought that his parents would side with the blind man once they knew Leng Yu Yan’s identity, but unexpectedly, they took his side.

Thinking this, Ji Qingyu felt immensely pleased.

“My child, Ah Heng hasn’t got many years left, so let’s just focus on this matter of his Crown Princess. In other matters, try to yield to him,” Ye Yuan softened her tone and sighed slightly. “Li Yu, no, Leng Yu Yan—I still can’t get it right. If she really marries Ah Heng, her later life will surely be tough. Such a fine woman should be my son’s wife!”

Hopefully, Ah Heng would understand how to treat someone well!

Ji Qingyu nodded repeatedly. “Mother is absolutely right!”

Although the blind man was afflicted with cold poison like him, he was later poisoned by someone else, ending up blind, frail, and sterile. Such a man truly did not deserve Leng Yu Yan.

In the horse carriage returning to the Eastern Palace, Ye Yiheng’s face was gloomy throughout the journey.

Every detail revealed that their family was in perfect accord.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was chillingly cold, and someone nearby emitted an aura that spelled misfortune for anyone who bothered him.

Leng Yu Yan did her best to minimize her presence, not looking at him, but rather focusing on her own knees.

Suddenly, he spoke, “The Crown Princess Consort is hiding something from me.”

Leng Yu Yan’s heart tightened. “Your Highness is perceptive, I dare not deceive you.”

“Is that true?”

“True!”

Ye Yiheng’s thin lips curved coldly. “If I find out, your neck…”

His slender, jade-like fingers mimicked the gesture of snapping a neck.

Leng Yu Yan turned her head and bit her lip, silent.

As her veil fluttered slightly, it revealed her tightly clenched lips, which were naturally as moist as cherry blossoms, instantly gleaming with moisture. Ye Yiheng’s handsome brows furrowed, suppressing the irritability rising within him. “What, are you scared?”

His voice was harsh and deep, carrying a dangerous edge…

It circled around her ears, each word penetrating like a death knell.

“What would Your Highness like to do?”

She hesitated slightly, her voice quivering.@@novelbin@@
