On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 890: Utterly Vile

Ye Yuan’s hands trembled as she looked incredulously at her son, then turned her gaze to Ji Liancheng.

Ji Liancheng frowned, "Son, the matters of those years are complicated, not something that can be explained in a few words."

Ji Qingyu laughed, "Mother’s hand was injured, said to be because she protected Ye Yiheng. Let me guess, at the time Ye Yiheng was unconscious, Uncle Emperor wanted to end him personally, mother’s hand was probably burned then. As for the specifics, I don’t know, but the rough truth is likely just that."

"Qingyu, the matters of those years were something your father and I were forced into." Ye Yuan’s eyes reddened.

Ye Yuan is the Emperor; how could the couple not obey his orders?

Ji Qingyu’s smile grew even warmer, "So wanting Ye Yiheng dead isn’t such a shocking thing, after all, father and mother once wanted to kill him with their own hands."

"But the Crown Prince lives on well now." Ye Yuan said, "Son, you must bury these guesses deep inside, never speak them out!"

"There are many people in the world who want the Crown Prince dead; now I also want him dead." Ji Qingyu admitted frankly, "Only once Ye Yiheng is dead can Ah Yan come to me."

"Why do you still think of Ah Yan?"

Ye Yuan dared not speak loudly, fearing her son would reveal the truth of those years to the Crown Prince.

In truth, though eccentric and fierce, the Crown Prince has always been good to them, never lacking gifts during holidays.

Not even the Emperor receives such treatment.

The reason is likely due to her hand injury and the half of the antidote.

If the Crown Prince learned the truth of those years, what harm would befall him?

Ye Yuan dared not imagine.

"Always thinking of her, never ceasing." Ji Qingyu said with a smile, "Ye Zhenyu and Ye Zhengmo’s actions today are severely blameworthy; Uncle Emperor didn’t harshly punish them, indicating his continued displeasure towards the Crown Prince. Ye Yiheng won’t sit long in the Crown Prince’s position, and moreover, his life is likely not long either. I only want to protect Ah Yan, what is wrong with that?"

Even if Ah Yan is the Divine Doctor, Uncle Emperor wanting the blind man’s life is such a simple matter.

Ji Liancheng said, "What is your intention in guessing the truth of those years? What do you want your mother and me to do?"

"You have always wanted Ah Yan as your daughter-in-law, of course, I should strive." Ji Qingyu ceased laughing, "What I do in the future, I hope father and mother will fully support!"

Hearing this, Ji Liancheng and Ye Yuan exchanged a look of poor premonition surfacing in their minds.

Ye Yuan said, "Qingyu, recently you kidnapped Ah Yan, the Crown Prince taught you a lesson. Out of respect for me, he spared your life, can’t you think kindly of him a bit? My hand, the cold disease in your body, they were both cured by Ah Yan. Kind Ah Yan is already the wife of the Crown Prince, you should respect her choice."

Ji Qingyu added, "Mother is indeed right, your hand and my cold disease were both cured by Ah Yan. The Crown Prince repeatedly asks us to keep her medical skills secret, why so? Did you deeply consider?"

The couple exchanged another look, unclear of their son’s purpose in speaking thus.

Ji Qingyu smiled faintly, "That is because Ah Yan is the Linqing Pavilion Master, the Divine Doctor of our time. Should Uncle Emperor learn this, he will surely command her to produce the Elixir of Immortality. Where in the world does the Elixir of Immortality exist? Ah Yan can’t make it, and the only outcome is death. Father and mother don’t wish to see Ah Yan die, do you?"

The couple shook their heads in unison.

They were shocked by what they heard now, even more shocked by Leng Yu Yan’s identity as the Divine Doctor.

No wonder the Imperial Physician was hopeless before the adhesive fingers and cold disease, yet Ah Yan cured them.

Ji Qingyu continued, "Since father and mother don’t want to see Ah Yan die, then listen to your son."

--

The study in the small building of the Eastern Palace.

Li Yuyue revealed Leng Yuqing’s intention of writing a letter back to Beilan City: "That family letter is mainly because he wants to get married."

Leng Yuqing furrowed his handsome brows, "Brother, don’t I have any face?"

Li Yuyue showed no mercy as he said again, "He doesn’t want Lady Luo to wait too long."

Leng Yuqing shot him a sideways glance, "Brother, why do you keep saying?"

Li Yuyue was unconcerned, "Your Highness is one of our own, talk is no harm."

Ye Yiheng couldn’t help but laugh.

Leng Yu Yan giggled, "So that’s how it is, but anyway, sending the letter out soon is good."

After chatting briefly, the Brothers of Lai returned to the barracks.

That evening, Leng Yu Yan went to the Capital Mayor Mansion, and Ye Yiheng, uneasy, personally accompanied her.

The couple entered the prison at the Capital Mayor Mansion, led by a prison guard, they arrived outside the cell holding Lai Manting and Li Lu.

"Crown Prince, Crown Prince Consort, these two female prisoners are locked inside."

The guard knocked the iron bars with a stick, Lai Manting and Li Lu weakly lifted their heads.

The guard continued, "Pardon Your Highnesses, these two female prisoners’ tendons in their hands and feet have been severed, they cannot stand."

Ye Yiheng waved, signaling the guard to retreat.

The guard nodded and withdrew.

Leng Yu Yan stepped forward, not yet speaking, Lai Manting spat.

Since she lay on the ground, the spit didn’t travel far.

"What are you here for?" Lai Manting glared angrily at Leng Yu Yan, "Now we are prisoners, are you satisfied?"

Li Lu cursed, "Leng Yu Yan, if you have the guts, kill us at once."

Leng Yu Yan calmly said, "From what you say, you still don’t know what sentence you’ve received?"

"I don’t believe it’s judged!" Lai Manting replied.

Today they were thrown into jail, without even interrogation, how could there be a verdict?

"I came tonight just to tell you, you’ve been sentenced to Lingchi." Leng Yu Yan said flatly, "Years ago you poisoned me together, now you’re sentenced to Lingchi together, always such deep sisterhood."

Upon hearing this, Lai Manting and Li Lu began to curse.

Leng Yu Yan seemed indifferent as she continued, "Whether it’s Ye Zhenyu or Ye Zhengmo, they still live freely in their Prince Mansion, and what about you? What did they promise you that was worth fighting for with your lives?"

Lai Manting and Li Lu’s curses gradually subsided.

Leng Yu Yan turned and stepped forward but soon stopped, "Actually when I was a child, I truly thought of you as good sisters. If not, after my mother passed, I wouldn’t be able to eat anything others sent over. Yet the meals and snacks you sent, I always devoured them completely."

Recalling former times, that pretty little girl followed behind them, softly calling them "Third Sister" "Fourth Sister".

Lai Manting discarded the memories, saying bitterly, "Blame your naivety, we befriended you, not to be any kind of sister."

Leng Yu Yan smiled lightly, "Indeed, the day I was thrown into the valley, I realized, where was any sisterhood?"

That cost, she learned at the price of her life.

Having spoken, Leng Yu Yan took Ye Yiheng’s arm and continued walking.

Seemingly recalling the innocent days of childhood; or maybe remembering when they poisoned the food and snacks, watching her unable to eat yet forcing herself to eat...

Lai Manting called after her, "Beware of Ye Zhenyu, he harbors very vile thoughts towards you."

Leng Yu Yan and Ye Yiheng’s steps both paused.
