On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 178 - Pavilion Master’s Identity

Chapter 178: Chapter 178 Pavilion Master’s Identity

Ruofeng dried his face, and upon looking up, what caught his eye was an official ship.

And the person waving at him from the ship, was it Mo Chen?

Squinting for a better look, indeed it was Mo Chen.

However, at this moment, he was somewhat battered, making Ruofeng momentarily hesitant to recognize him.

Could this man have been beaten up so badly by evildoers?

Ruofeng took the treasured sword from the horseback and shouted, “I’m coming to save you!”

As he spoke, he sprung onto his toes and leapt onto the ship.

Ruofeng landed on the ship, and before he could steady himself, he saw Song Guo was also there, and upon further observation, his Highness was slowly stepping forward.

“Save whom?”

Ye Yiheng’s voice was clear and cold.

Ruofeng almost twisted his ankle, sheathed his sword back, and stammered, “Subordinate, subordinate thought that seeing Mo Chen’s appearance, he believed…”

Song Guo pressed her lips together and laughed, only after she had her fill did she say, “Mo Chen ended up like this because he talks too much.”

Liu Yun and Yin Shuang stood with their arms folded across their chests, chuckling coldly in unison.

Suddenly, Ruofeng understood, it must have been because he had offended these two women.

With a chill in his heart, Ruofeng knelt on one knee and bowed, “Your Highness, I have failed my duty and did not find the Divine Doctor in the Southern Border. I was just preparing to demand an explanation from the Linqing Pavilion when I encountered Your Highness.”

Ye Yiheng spoke indifferently, “You’ve spent quite a few days at Linqing Pavilion, so lead the way.”

Seeing the Crown Prince intending to ascend the mountain personally, Ruofeng couldn’t help but preface with, “Your Highness, the Divine Doctor is elusive, coming without a shadow and leaving without a trace, we might not be able to see him on this journey.”

“It doesn’t matter, I am very curious about Linqing Pavilion, it could be considered a sightseeing trip.”

Hearing this, Ruofeng’s mind was at ease.

He led the horse onto the ship, and they set sail toward the mountain peak where the Linqing Pavilion was located.

After having lunch at the Linqing Pavilion, Leng Yu Yan took a rest.

Perhaps due to the weariness from her continuous travels, when she woke up, the sun was already setting.

Leng Yu Yan groggily left her room and asked the maid at the door, “How long have I slept?”

“Replying to the Pavilion Master, you’ve slept for four hours.”

“Where are Chun Liu Xia Tao?”

“They are in the kitchen making pastries, saying they are for the Pavilion Master to take on the road.”

Just then, someone came to report, “Pavilion Master, a group of people are heading up the mountain, and Ruofeng is among them.”

Previously, Ruofeng had come to the Linqing Pavilion alone; how had he brought a group of people this time?

“Quickly tell Chun Liu Xia Tao to come and see me.”

“Yes.”

Before long, Chun Liu Xia Tao arrived, both of whom were already aware of Ruofeng leading people up the mountain.

Chun Liu apologized, “Pavilion Master, it’s the maid’s dereliction of duty. Ruofeng is a person whom all members of the Linqing Pavilion have come to recognize, so when he arrived, someone below came to report it.”

“Four hours ago, he and his horse disappeared without a trace, we thought he wouldn’t come. But now he unexpectedly leads others up the mountain, it is quite peculiar for us maids.”

Another person came to report, “Pavilion Master, it has been verified that Ruofeng boarded an official ship and came together with the people on the ship.”

Hearing this, unease unexplainably tightened in Leng Yu Yan’s heart.

Could it be him?

Considering it could also be Ji Qingyu, she asked, “Is there one among them with a white silk over his eyes?”

“Replying to the Pavilion Master, among the group, there is indeed a man with an eye veil of white silk.”

Upon hearing these words, Leng Yu Yan closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead.

How did this blind man find his way here?

Could he have uncovered her identity?

Chun Liu and Xia Tao quickly realized, “Pavilion Master, is that man the Crown Prince?”

The blind Crown Prince’s eyes covered by a white veil was a tale known to all in Tiancheng.

Leng Yu Yan nodded, “Notify Miao Zhu immediately to pack her things and escape with me through the back mountain.”

Xia Tao acknowledged and turned to go to Miao Zhu’s room.

Chun Liu then said, “Pavilion Master, your maid will go to stop them first.”

Leng Yu Yan cautioned, “Be careful!”

But unexpectedly, just as Leng Yu Yan was about to return to her room, someone else reported, “Pavilion Master, that group of people are already in the main hall!”

Leng Yu Yan pinched her fingers. If the blind man had indeed discovered her identity, evading him would be futile.

What was imperative now was for her to confirm whether the blind man knew of her identity as the Linqing Pavilion Master.

With this thought in mind, she whispered in the ear of Chun Liu.

Chun Liu nodded in agreement, and after informing Miao Zhu and Xia Tao, she went to the main hall.

Leng Yu Yan then proceeded to the loft above the main hall.

Looking down at the main hall from the loft window made of seashells, Ye Yiheng stood like a jade tree facing the wind, silently admiring the various landscape paintings hanging on the wall.

Fortunately, she had not signed any of those paintings.

This man’s intelligence was almost demonic. If he perceived any clue, it would be troublesome.

At that moment, Chun Liu pretended not to know that the man with the eye veil was the Crown Prince and merely said to Ruofeng, “You’ve come at an inopportune time, our Pavilion Master has returned just a few days ago and has set out on travels again.”

Ruofeng sighed, “I thought so, why I couldn’t find anyone at the Southern Border?”

Chun Liu smiled and said, “The Southern Border is so vast; it is indeed difficult to search for one person.”

Noticing His Highness admiring the paintings, Ruofeng began, “Earlier on the mountain, someone told us that all these paintings were made by the Divine Doctor during his travels.”

Ye Yiheng remained silent.

Mo Chen, after looking around the main hall at the many landscape paintings, couldn’t help but ask Chun Liu, “How can your Pavilion Master, an old man, be so quick on his feet, running around so ceaselessly from one end of the earth to the other?”

Seeing that they thought the Pavilion Master was an old man, Chun Liu went along with their assumption, “Our Pavilion Master has a nature free from restraints. It’s indeed somewhat difficult for you to find him. What he most yearns for is a life as carefree as the scattered clouds and wild cranes.”

Ye Yiheng discreetly pointed, indicating a bright red hairband on the figure in a painting, signaling Jian Lecheng to speak up.

Jian Lecheng looked closely and saw in one of the landscape paintings a figure in a black cloak. At first glance, one couldn’t tell whether the person in the painting was male or female.

But a piece of a long, bright red hairband was flying out from the corner of the cloak.

Jian Lecheng got the hint, turned around, and spoke loudly, “These paintings all depict the famous mountains of Tiancheng. I can see the free-spirited life the Pavilion Master is fond of.”

“However, young master has a question and would like you, miss, to clarify.”

Chun Liu replied with a smile, “Please ask!”

Jian Lecheng folded his fan and pointed at the red hairband in the painting, “Your Pavilion Master has quite a peculiar hobby, fancying red hairbands like a young miss?”

Chuntao was greatly alarmed inside but kept a very calm exterior, smiling she said, “That’s a young lady admired by our Pavilion Master in his youth. He painted her in the painting, which could also be considered the Pavilion Master’s sentiment of longing.”

Ruofeng exchanged a look with Mo Chen, communicating silently with their eyes.

Ruofeng: [I told you, the Pavilion Master is an old lecher.]

Mo Chen: [Appearances can be deceiving!]

Concerning what Chuntao had said, Ye Yiheng subtly shook his head.

The woman in the painting reminded him of someone.

Ye Yiheng pinched the bridge of his nose. Why did thoughts of that heartless woman, who only wanted to flee from him, arise here?

On the loft above, Leng Yu Yan watched with slightly furrowed brows.

In these paintings, there was only one where she painted herself, dressed in a hooded cloak, galloping on a horse amidst the landscape.

The painting was quite large, but the self she had painted was just a few strokes, no larger than a fingernail.

She hadn’t expected this detail to be caught by the blind man.

Just then, Ye Yiheng looked up and gazed towards the window made of seashells in the loft.

Even though his eyes were covered by a veil, Leng Yu Yan inexplicably felt his gaze shifting onto her.

Suddenly, her heartbeat quickened. This crazy fellow couldn’t have discovered her, could he?
