On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 155 - : Profound Thoughts

Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Profound Thoughts

Walking to the entrance of the bedroom, Song Guo saw Mo Chen and quickly called out to him, “Mo Chen, His Highness says he wants to go to Jiangnan himself.”

“His Highness mustn’t!” Mo Chen objected, “It has been raining for several days in the capital city, and the rain in Jiangnan is even heavier. One can imagine how serious the flooding is in Jiangnan!”

Ye Yiheng, who was being pulled by Song Guo and blocked by Mo Chen, wore a cold expression on his face.

The two acted as if they hadn’t seen it.

Mo Chen turned his head to ask Song Guo, “Why does His Highness want to go to Jiangnan?”

Song Guo hung his head. “It was my fault for running my mouth and telling His Highness she took the case of pearls with her.”

...

“I thought it was something serious?” Mo Chen patted his chest and said to Ye Yiheng, “Your Highness, rest assured, I will snatch back that case of pearls!”

Pearls from Nandian Country are large and round, a treasure worth a fortune, no wonder His Highness wants to chase them down.

Upon hearing this, Song Guo was completely speechless.

Ye Yiheng raised his hand and smacked Mo Chen’s crown, then pushed Song Guo aside and turned to return to the bedroom.

Holding his aching head, Mo Chen whispered, “Why would Your Highness hit me?”

“I want to hit you, too!” Song Guo tugged at the corner of his mouth and raised his hand as if to strike, “Do you think His Highness really wants to snatch back the pearls?”

His Highness couldn’t swallow his pride and admit the real reason.

He only mentioned going to Jiangnan!

“What is he going after then?” Mo Chen, who had suddenly realized, smacked his own forehead, “He’s going to snatch a person!”

It wasn’t his fault for not catching on immediately.

These past days, His Highness hadn’t given any orders, and now he suddenly wants to go himself—the change was too abrupt!

Mo Chen pulled Song Guo to a quiet corner under the corridor. “What do we do now?”

Song Guo sighed. “I don’t know.”

Linqing Pavilion.

Leng Yu Yan was still making medicine in her room.

Xia Tao, holding a newly arrived piece of news, hesitated at the door, wondering whether to bring the news in.

Seeing this, Chun Liu asked in a low voice, “Is something urgent?”

“Floods in Jiangnan, the Pavilion Master’s maternal family is affected, too.”

Chun Liu pondered for a moment and then said, “With the flooding, it’s difficult to travel by road, and the only way to Jiangnan is by water. The Pavilion Master always gets seasick, so let’s wait until the flooding subsides.”

“I was considering how much Elder Mrs. Zhang and Uncle have cared for the Pavilion Master, which is why I hesitated to deliver the news promptly,” Xia Tao stuck out her tongue, “I completely forgot about the Pavilion Master’s seasickness.”

“We mustn’t forget Aunt’s true colors, otherwise when the Pavilion Master was thrown into the ditch, how come the Zhang Family didn’t take her in?”

Five years ago, the Pavilion Master’s older brother and mother passed away, which had the Zhang Family running about and spending no small amount of money.

However, it was also true that they neglected the Pavilion Master.

Back then, the Pavilion Master was only a few years old and in need of care.

Although Elder Mrs. Zhang and Uncle sent letters every year, what compares to the care of family members by one’s side?

At that time, the Pavilion Master had only Miao Zhu by her side, and they were later saved by her and stayed with her.

The situation with the Zhang Family, though the Pavilion Master never spoke of it, they learned plenty from Miao Zhu.

Even the lively Xia Tao sighed, “Back then, they probably despised the Pavilion Master for being a girl with spots on her face and for being chubby.”

According to her, now the Pavilion Master looks like a Heavenly Immortal, and they should see how they were all blind back in the day!

Chun Liu pursed her lips, “So for now, let’s not bother the Pavilion Master, making poisons requires caution and focus!”

In the Pavilion Master’s heart, her older brother and mother are the warmest existences.

Taking revenge for them is the utmost urgent matter!

After reaching an agreement, the two maids left the door lightly on tiptoe.

Ye Yiheng was enveloped in coldness.

He understood Ji Qingyu’s mind all too well.

Now that Leng Yu Yan had lost her status as a legitimate daughter, he, as the Crown Prince, had no better reason to keep her by his side.

Unlike him, Ji Qingyu was different. Although he was a Commandery Prince, he bore the Ji surname.

With a turn of events, he could marry Leng Yu Yan.

Thinking of this, Ye Yiheng was ridden with irritation.

He immediately called to the servants outside the door, “Someone, assist me to enter the palace.”

Mo Chen and Song Guo hurried in.

Their efforts to persuade were in vain; furthermore, if His Highness threw a tantrum, it would be too much for the two of them to handle.

If His Highness truly went to Jiangnan, they could only remain on high alert and make thorough preparations.

Ye Yiheng proceeded to the Imperial Study.

When the Emperor saw him coming, he promptly ordered Eunuch Ye to move a chair over.

However, Ye Yiheng didn’t sit. He stepped forward and bowed, “Father Emperor, Jiangnan is suffering greatly from the flood disaster. Ji Qingyu has no experience in this area. When my eyes could still see, I once cooperated with the imperial envoy in Jiangnan to manage a flood. Therefore, I specially request permission from Father Emperor to allow me to go to Jiangnan and address the flood disaster.”

Going to Jiangnan, although he could go on his own accord,

why would Ji Qingyu want to go under the pretext of disaster relief?

The reasons could be narrowed down to three points.

First, to make a good impression on Leng Yu Yan’s maternal grandparents’ home.

Second, to use the local forces to help her find her biological father. Her mother was a Jiangnan girl, so it was very likely that her father was in Jiangnan.

Third, if he managed the relief work successfully, to request the Emperor’s permission to award a marriage, as Ji Qingyu wanted to wed her in an honorable way.

If he also went, Ji Qingyu would have to obey his orders.

Additionally, he simply did not wish for her to marry Ji Qingyu!

Hearing the Crown Prince’s words, the Emperor was quite surprised.

“Ah Heng, your health is not suitable for going to Jiangnan.”

“Father Emperor, I am well aware that my days are numbered, but the plight in Jiangnan is a matter of life and death for the people. I cannot bear to see the citizens of Jiangnan suffering amidst the disaster!”

The Emperor nodded in agreement repeatedly, “If that’s the case, then go. However, I have a request, and that is to take good care of yourself.”

“Thank you, Father Emperor!”

After Ye Yiheng left the Imperial Study, the Emperor commented with emotion, “Ah Heng truly deserves his title as Crown Prince!”

Eunuch Ye added, “Your Highness the Crown Prince is concerned for the country and the people!”

The Emperor nodded, then immediately snorted, “Let those princes who refuse to go to Jiangnan know, know that even a blind Crown Prince can be so concerned for the country and the people, and so is my nephew, while they only indulge in eating, drinking, and merrymaking in the capital!”

At Prince Liang Mansion.

Ye Zhenyu was contemplating whether to have Lai Manting move into the Prince Mansion.

Then, word from the Emperor reached him.

Ye Zhenyu sneered. The objectives of the Crown Prince and Ji Qingyu, unknown to others, were clear to him.

Leng Yu Yan’s mother came from the Zhang Family in Jiangzhou of Jiangnan.

The two of them heading to Jiangnan, likely had their goals set on Leng Yu Yan herself.

Regrettably, the Crown Prince was blind and feeble, while Ji Qingyu was but an outsider with a different surname; neither could compare to him for the throne.

Now that Lai Manting was carrying his child, this brought him one step closer on his journey to secure the throne.

With this thought, Ye Zhenyu immediately ordered someone to bring Lai Manting over, while he himself went to report to the Emperor.

As soon as the Emperor’s words had been passed down, all the princes became like turtles shrinking into their shells, not daring to utter a sound.

At that moment, seeing Ye Zhenyu coming over, the Emperor was ready to chastise him, when he heard Ye Zhenyu respectfully begin, “Father Emperor, I had intended to go to Jiangnan earlier to assist with the disaster relief, but now, the third daughter of the Leng Family, Man Ting, is carrying my child.”

“I’m going to be a father for the first time, and I’m nervous, so indeed, I am not as capable as the Crown Prince or Sixth Brother!” Ye Zhenyu bowed, “I ask for Father Emperor’s punishment!”

Upon hearing this, the Emperor joyfully said, “Is that so? Am I about to become a grandfather again?”
