On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 245 - Want to Bully Her

Chapter 245: Chapter 245 Want to Bully Her

Ye Yiheng gave a cold, detached smile, “I had my doubts, but there was no evidence.”

They say even a tiger wouldn’t eat its own cubs, but those more toxic than tigers must be from the Tian Family.

This was the sorrow of being the Crown Prince.

Sometimes, he truly envied Li Yuyue.

Though Li Yuyue had been sent to the capital as a hostage for three years, he had the love and care of his parents, the Prince and Princess Zhenbei.

Now, he even envied Leng Yu Yan before him, who received affection from everyone in Prince Zhenbei’s Mansion, and even the Princess Zhenbei treated her as her own daughter.

To speak unfavorably of the Ye ancestors, the current world really couldn’t compare to Prince Zhenbei’s Mansion and the Leng Family.

Lai Taihong’s offspring, every one of them, had a heart for the welfare of the people and bore the nation in their breasts.

Such a family, yet the Emperor still thought to eradicate them in one fell swoop.

The Emperor was truly becoming more and more muddled!

Leng Yu Yan raised her head to gaze into his eyes, “Your Highness, your eyes are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.”

Hearing this, Ye Yiheng laughed, his smile filled with a trace of bitterness, “Do you think they can be completely cured?”

“Certainly!” she stated.

“May Commandery Princess Cheng’s auspicious words come true!”

After speaking, he looked back at her.

Their eyes met…

It seemed as though the air froze at that moment.

The girl before him, with skin as pure as ice and bones made of jade, shined brightly like spring blossoms and clear as the autumn moon.

He could see his own reflection in her clear, lustrous eyes.

The murky chaos he had lived in from childhood seemed to have nowhere to hide in her gaze.

Ye Yiheng couldn’t help but ask himself, did he really want to drag her into the treacherous strife of the Tian Family?

However, since she was the daughter of Prince Zhenbei, this meant she was already enmeshed in the struggle.

Leng Yu Yan also saw her own reflection in his handsome eyes, and the way she looked up at him seemed a bit pathetic.

What made her more flustered was why did he, a man cloaked in coldness, have such warm eyes?

Unconsciously, she lowered her eyelashes, “To investigate my mother’s past with the Father King, I must first speak with my father.”

Ye Yiheng stepped to the side, “Indeed.”

Leng Yu Yan followed behind him, murmuring, “I’ve asked the Father King about this matter before, and he only said that he and my mother were framed by others back then. Hence, he doesn’t remember much about what happened that day.”

“Knowing where they met and who they saw that day may lead to some clues.”

Suddenly, Ye Yiheng halted his steps and turned around.

Caught off guard, she stumbled into his embrace.

“I’m, I’m sorry!”

She quickly took a step back.

Seeing her rubbing the tip of her nose, Ye Yiheng frowned slightly, “Does it hurt?”

His voice was gentle in a way even he hadn’t noticed.

“No, it’s just a bit sore.”

“Heh, such a delicate creature.”

She protested indignantly, “You!”

Seeing her like this, a rare glint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

He walked gracefully to the desk, Ye Yiheng took out an exquisite jar from the drawer, his slender fingers opened it and retrieved a sugar bean.

“Come here.”

Reluctantly, Leng Yu Yan moved forward, “What are you…”

Before she could finish, he popped a sugar bean into her small mouth.

He asked softly, “Does it still feel sour?”

The sugar bean danced on her tongue, sweet tastes spreading, and she nodded with a smile in her eyes, “It’s not sour anymore.”

“Is it sweet?” he asked again.

“Sweet!” she replied with a smile.

He huffed lightly, “You’re quite easy to soothe.”

Upon hearing this, Leng Yu Yan crunched the sugar bean with vigour, as if fueled by anger.

A pair of glimmering eyes glared at him resentfully.

Ye Yiheng chuckled lowly, and upon one more glance at her angered look, his gaze momentarily darkened.

What should I do?

He really wanted to bully her!

It was like the urge to tease a cute little animal, to pinch and squish vigorously. When that wasn’t enough, he even felt the urge to bite with his lips and teeth.

He must indeed be a madman!

On the other hand.

Leng Zongfa returned to Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion.

The first thing he did upon his return was to inform Lai Hao of the possibility that their family might replace Prince Zhenbei Mansion.

Lai Hao was thrilled and exclaimed, “We’re all surnamed Leng, why should there be any difference in status?”

Leng Zongfa smiled and said, “These words should only be spoken within our home. Once you leave the mansion, you must not repeat them. After we endure this period, you can say whatever you like in the future!”

“Yes, Father!” Lai Hao moved closer and asked in a low voice, “Father, do you think, if our family replaces theirs, I could marry a princess someday?”

“Are you still thinking about the Ninth Princess?”

“Hmph, the Ninth Princess is just a cripple, how could I truly fancy her?”

Leng Zongfa nodded, “After we succeed, it’s indeed possible. The Emperor has many princesses; you can choose any one you wish by then.”

After the private discussion with Lai Hao, Leng Zongfa called Mrs. Feng, Aunt Hu, and Li Lu over to inform them of the situation regarding today’s visit to the palace.

Mrs. Feng was unwilling to have Li Lu registered under her name, no matter what.

“Master, I do not wish it!” Mrs. Feng snorted.

“Such womanly views!” Leng Zongfa exclaimed, “By registering Li Lu under your name, she gets the chance to marry the Crown Prince. By then, as the Crown Prince’s mother-in-law, wouldn’t your status surpass that of Princess Zhenbei?”

Hearing this, Mrs. Feng vividly recalled the scene during the banquet when the Crown Prince addressed Princess Zhenbei as mother-in-law.

At that time, how many ladies were envious!

Though the Crown Prince was blind and sickly, his appearance and status were both top-notch.

After all, it was not her own biological daughter getting married but merely registering under her name.

No matter how you look at it, she would not be at a loss, so she nodded in agreement.

Aunt Hu and Li Lu were also overjoyed.

Especially Li Lu.

Previously, she had her eyes on Wei Ruili, but Wei Ruili was preoccupied with Leng Yu Yan.

Now, with the Emperor intending to marry her off to the Crown Prince, she managed to one-up Leng Yu Yan.

Li Lu never expected she would have her day in the sun!

Even if the Crown Prince’s life was short, so what?

By then she would be his official wife; even Lai Manting, Consort Liang, would have to show her respect.

With this thought, Li Lu became arrogant.

Eastern Palace.

Leng Yu Yan didn’t want to stay in the study with someone, so she left the small building.

Ye Yiheng followed her in a very good mood.

“Yesterday at noon, the medicine powder was already mixed into the food.”

Leng Yu Yan, who was walking around the lake, stopped and turned to ask him, “Really?”

“Mhm, I heard he was in a lot of discomfort last night.”

“That’s to be expected!”

Leng Yu Yan chuckled lightly, Ye Zhenxian couldn’t blame her for harboring such thoughts against him.

“I’m very curious, how did you come to possess that kind of medicine?”

“This, Your Highness, is something you need not concern yourself with; I will not tell.”

Hearing this, he wasn’t annoyed and said indifferently, “The current problem then is to get that person out of prison so that the Commandery Princess can proceed with the next step of her plan.”

Leng Yu Yan nodded, “Exactly, but how do we release him legitimately?”

After thinking it over, she asked, “That person has so many staff; wouldn’t some try to send a woman in for him?”

Ye Yiheng shook his head, “The prison was designed precisely to prevent such occurrences.”

“Then we must get him out.”

That way, Ye Zhenxian could flex his muscles in Prince Xian Mansion and ruin himself.

They ambled around the lake, contemplating the situation.

Suddenly, Ye Yiheng had an idea and said, “I have a way.”

Leng Yu Yan asked with curiosity, “Is Your Highness going to plead with the Empress Dowager?”
