On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 109 - : Exposing Her Spots

Chapter 109 -109: Exposing Her Spots

That night, the moon shone brightly and the stars were sparse.

In the Eastern Palace, lanterns flickered in the breeze.

Inside the study, Ye Yiheng’s eyes were covered with a medicinal compress.

Mo Chen came to report, “Your Highness, Lai Manting has lost her virginity to Prince Liang, and many in the palace are aware. The Leng Family is now eager for Prince Liang to marry Lai Manting.”

Ye Yiheng was extremely annoyed with Lai Manting, who had originally been intended for him.

...

Hearing this, he sneered, “They are all getting what they want, which is quite good.”

“Subordinate has found out that Princess Heng Yuan is very fond of Miss Lai Wu and wants her to become her son’s wife. Hence, the Eldest Princess initially intended to have Lai Manting betrothed to you, so Miss Lai Wu could be betrothed to Prince Qing.”

Ye Yiheng’s brow furrowed, “Hmm?”

Mo Chen spoke gravely, “Now that Lai Manting has been defiled by Prince Liang, the Eldest Princess’s plan must be abandoned. However, the Marquis Jiangyang Mansion is using their connections to attempt to have the Emperor betroth Miss Lai Wu elsewhere. As for the selection of the Crown Princess Consort, the Princess is also searching on Your Highness’s behalf.”

“Perhaps my aunt is meddling a bit too much!”

“In the Ministry of Justice, Xu Yaxiang dragged Lai Manting out; it was Lai Manting who had instructed Xu Yaxiang to tamper with the Flower Goddess Dress worn by Cao Shu. However, this matter has been suppressed by Prince Liang,” Mo Chen saluted, “Given the current situation, Your Highness, what should we do?”

Ye Yiheng replied indifferently, “The Xu Family’s fortune has run out, and as for Lai Manting, with Prince Liang protecting her, let’s not make any moves for now.”

Prince Liang’s power was a threat to the Crown Prince’s position. If he were to find out that it was Ye Yiheng’s doing, he would surely strike first.

Now that he was blind again, it was not a good time to confront enemies.

“There’s another matter I am uncertain whether I should mention?”

“Speak.”

“Previously, Your Highness ordered me to investigate whether Princess Heng Yuan and Marquis Jiangyang have ever met Miss Lai Wu. Recently, I found out they truly have met. Moreover, since Prince Qing became acquainted with Miss Lai Wu half a year ago, he seems to be unable to stop thinking about her.”

Hearing this, Ye Yiheng set the eye compress on the table.

Ji Qingyu loved beautiful women, and his provocation today was for the sake of the woman, Leng Yu Yan.

If Leng Yu Yan were ugly, Ji Qingyu would never be so concerned!

If Ji Qingyu was trying to anger him, that would be understandable, but then why was Princess Heng Yuan also so fond of her?

If Leng Yu Yan had recovered her figure and skin to its former fairness, then the spots on her face…

A possibility suddenly crossed his mind…

What was she hiding from him?

“Mo Chen, support me to Tingfeng Garden!”

“Yes, Your Highness,” Mo Chen stepped forward a few paces, taking hold of Ye Yiheng’s arm, and the two left the study and hurried towards Tingfeng Garden.

The Crown Prince had never walked so fast.

He was blind again today, yet he walked so briskly; was there some urgent matter? Mo Chen pondered the whole way but couldn’t figure out the reason.

Upon reaching Tingfeng Garden, Ye Yiheng headed straight for the inner bedroom.

Miao Zhu hurried to intercept him, “Your Highness, my mistress is bathing and it is not convenient for you to see her.”

“If I can’t see, then it won’t be inappropriate, even if I enter,” Ye Yiheng brushed past Miao Zhu and strode inside.

Leng Yu Yan, bathing behind the screen in the inner room, heard the noise and quickly got up from the water, hurriedly slipping on her clothes when—

The door was pushed open.

Ye Yiheng stood at the doorway, not going any further inside, and simply said, “Put on your clothes, I have something to say.”

Leng Yu Yan touched her face, relieved that she hadn’t removed the patches on her face before entering the bath. Remembering that he was blind today, she relaxed a little.

“Your Highness, what’s the emergency?” Despite knowing he was blind, she was still a bit nervous as her dress was not properly in order.

Ye Yiheng stepped back, closing the door, and from the outside said, “Dress quickly and come out.”

Yu Yan fastened the tie at her waist and donned her outer robe before opening the door, “What’s the matter, Your Highness?”

Just as she’d asked a question, Ye Yiheng gripped her shoulder with one hand and pressed her against the wall inside the door.

“Leng Yu Yan, what are you hiding from me?”

As he spoke, his cool hand slowly moved from her shoulder to her neck.

In an instant, her heart was filled with alarm.

Was he going to strangle her again?

Miao Zhu anxiously said from outside, “Crown Prince, if you have something to say, please say it kindly; my young lady cannot withstand fright!”

Mo Chen’s voice immediately followed, “Miss Miao Zhu, the Crown Prince and the young lady are betrothed, and it’s not our place as servants to speculate about matters between them.”

“What are you grabbing me for? I can walk on my own, what are you dragging me for…”

Hearing the sound of Miao Zhu being dragged away outside, Leng Yu Yan’s brows furrowed, and her small hands reached for his larger one, “Your Highness, please speak kindly if you have something to say, can you?”

She feared that he might use too much strength and break her neck.

“Leng Yu Yan, I ask you once again, what are you hiding from me?”

“Nothing!” Leng Yu Yan shook her head, “I dare not deceive Your Highness!”

“Hehehe…” Ye Yiheng suddenly let out a cold laugh, “Is that really so?”

“Yes, I am too timid to deceive Your Highness.” Although she said so, Leng Yu Yan’s heart kept pounding wildly, afraid that her identity as the Linqing Pavilion Master would be exposed.

Ye Yiheng slowly applied pressure with one hand on her neck, while the other abruptly caressed her cheek.

Seeing this, Leng Yu Yan bit her lip, thinking this man was becoming more and more perverse.

He was actually touching her face, and she knew she had terrifying patches on her face.

Moreover, even more critical was the hand on her neck growing progressively firmer.

Was she really going to die by his hand tonight?

No, she had to protect herself!

Thinking this, her delicate hand formed into a blade.

Just as she was about to strike down, Ye Yiheng’s hand pinched the patch on her skin.

His long, jade-like fingers grabbed one end of the patch…

“Hiss—”

He peeled off the patch from her skin instantly.

“What else do you have to say?”

So he was here to peel off the patch; she thought he had come to take her life. Leng Yu Yan swallowed hard, “Since the patch has been torn off by Your Highness, I have nothing to say.”

“Not planning on saying anything?” Ye Yiheng asked coldly.

This woman had applied the patches to disguise herself as an ugly woman, all to refuse the marriage.

And Ji Qingyu’s whole family was aware she was not an ugly woman, hence they were pleased.

Only he had been made a fool, and thinking of this, Ye Yiheng’s anger surged as he forcefully kneaded her smooth, jade-like cheek, “Do you really so despise marrying me?”

Leng Yu Yan’s body trembled, and biting her lip, she said, “At this point, there’s nothing I can retaliate against; I do not wish to marry!”

“Is it because of Ji Qingyu?”

“No, it has nothing to do with Ji Qingyu.”

“Then who else?”

“There is no one else; I do not wish to marry anyone in this lifetime!” Leng Yu Yan declared candidly, “Must a woman really need a man to live well?”

Ye Yiheng released his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. He had become blind again today, unable to see, and even unable to make out the expression of the woman before him.

But listening to her resolute words, it seemed likely that she was sincere.

“But you are already my betrothed,” his voice was forlorn, with an imperceptible loneliness, “There are many things in my life I cannot decide for myself, and now it seems I must drag you along with me.”
