On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 205 - 205 Taking Advantage of Him

Chapter 205: Chapter 205 Taking Advantage of Him Chapter 205 -205 Taking Advantage of Him The storm carried rain in its fury, covering the skies and coming from all directions.

Ye Yiheng held her, standing against the cliff, as the torrential rain showed no signs of weakening.

Even more perilous, looking down from the cliff, there were signs of mudslides.

The capital had been suffering from sweltering heat for consecutive days, leading to drought and cracked soil, significantly increasing the risks of landslides and mudflows.

Her ankle seemed to have been scratched by a rock, with fresh blood already soaking through her socks, tinged red in large patches by the rainwater, a shocking sight.

If she continued to be drenched, her wound could become infected, and she could fall ill—all things he did not wish to see.

Under these circumstances, with time pressing, he couldn’t take her down the mountain just yet, but fortunately, he had discovered a cave on the way up.

Without time to think further, he carried her straight to the cave.

The cave was situated higher up, surrounded by rocks without any soil to cover it, which seemed somewhat safer.

As soon as they ducked into the cave, a loud noise came from the direction of the cliff.

Deciding to come to the cave was the right choice.

Ye Yiheng did not bother to wipe the rainwater off his face and continued carrying Leng Yu Yan deeper into the cave.

However, her body seemed to be getting hotter.

Dressed lightly for summer, the heat from her body continuously transferred to his skin through the thin fabric.

Compared to when he first picked her up, her body now seemed to have signs of a fever.

His heart startled, Ye Yiheng urgently called out, “Wake up.”

The person in his arms showed no response.

She was unconscious, so why was he still holding onto a broken grass?

Muttering to himself, Ye Yiheng walked to the inner part of the cave, gently placing her on the ground, then tried to pry open her hand.

But he dared not use too much force…

Her fingers were so delicate, he risked breaking them.

For no reason, a wave of irritation surged within him.

At the foot of the mountain,

The Royal Mansion Guards were full of regret.

Looking up towards the mountain, the highest peak had a layer of cliff, which directly overlooked a precipice, and beside the precipice, there was a mudslide.

In the blink of an eye, the mudslide surged in their direction.

The guards ran perpendicular to the direction of the mudslide.

Reaching the safety of densely growing trees, the guards split into two groups, one to go back for help, and the other prepared to circle around the mudslide to search for Leng Yu Yan in the mountain.

Inside the cave,

Ye Yiheng reached out to touch Leng Yu Yan’s forehead.

As he suspected, her forehead was burning hot.

The storm outside continued, and the temperature did not drop but grew stickier instead.

Seeing her socks stained red with fresh blood at her ankle, he clenched his fist, wanting to remove her socks to inspect them, but his hand stopped midway.

Even the ankles of a woman should not be easily shown to a man,

Unless that man is her husband.

Thinking that he always wanted to keep her by his side and did not want her to marry someone else,

Moreover, the Father Emperor had granted her as his bride twice,

Even if he had refused, it was because he hadn’t understood who Princess Beilan was.

If the Father Emperor, being the Emperor, could change his stance, why couldn’t he, as the Crown Prince, retract his refusal?

Besides, yesterday he had already shamelessly called Princess Zhenbei his mother-in-law and claimed that he was willing to marry into the Prince Mansion; thus, he was still her fiancé.

In times of urgency!

With so much twisting and turning in his mind, truth be told, he had never thought so much when biting her neck.

With this thought, he squatted down, carefully removed her embroidered shoes, and peeled off her socks.

What came into view was a cut about an inch long from her calf to her ankle.

Blinding red contrasted sharply with her luminous pale skin, causing Ye Yiheng’s heart to clench suddenly.

His clothes were almost entirely soaked, only the inner clothes at the part where their bodies were pressed together remained a bit dry.

Without much thought, Ye Yiheng untied his outer robe, tore a piece from his inner clothes, gently wrapped the wound, and carefully tied a knot.

He tore another piece of his inner clothes, walked to the entrance of the cave, collected rainwater, and placed it on her smooth forehead.

Thinking of how she had been lying on the ground just now, from the grass in her hand to the cliff, could it be that she fell unconscious due to a fall from the cliff?

Not feeling at ease, he sat on the ground and pulled her into his embrace.

With one arm around her and the other brushing away hair to check her head for abnormalities.

Her forehead felt cool, and coolness was also coming from her body. Leng Yu Yan instinctively searched for more coolness…

Thus, she unconsciously snuggled deeper into his arms.

Not only that, her small face kept rubbing against his chest, like a kitten seeking coolness in sleep.

Ye Yiheng suffered from cold poison, so his body temperature was always lower than that of ordinary people.

At this moment, she urgently needed the chilling comfort; in his embrace, the heat from her body was somewhat dispersed.

Wearing thin summer clothes, Ye Yiheng was rather disheveled due to tearing strips from his inner clothes.

What he never expected was that her hand, not holding any grass, boldly slipped into his embrace, exploring his waist and abdomen.

Although he had nibbled and kissed her neck, he was, after all, only nineteen, never having any concubine in his chamber; how could he have experienced a woman’s tender fingers exploring like this?

Even if previously on the boat, she mistook him for Miao Zhu and pinched his waist, it was still through clothing.

Now, although he knew it was her body overheating, his ears still uncontrollably blushed.

Suddenly, he couldn’t stop his Adam’s apple from sliding.

Ye Yiheng clenched his fist. Under normal circumstances, the irritation in his body would escalate quickly, and he would have pushed her away.

Today, there was irritation within him.

But, he could control it.

Seeing the signs of her fever, he endured, thinking perhaps he should pity her and let her take some advantage.

The palace guards returned to the mansion at top speed.

The leader bowed to Li Yuyue, “Princely Heir, I have failed in my duties and lost the Commandery Princess.”

In the front hall, Li Yuyue was conversing with Ji Qingyu.

Hearing this news, both asked almost simultaneously, “What happened?”

Ji Qingyu had come to Prince Zhenbei Mansion today to find Leng Yu Yan, but to his surprise, she was not there. Just as he was about to leave, a torrential downpour began, and he stayed at Prince Zhenbei Mansion.

The guard replied, “The Commandery Princess said she wanted to enter the mountain to gather herbs. She told us to rest in the shade as our armor was heavy; unexpectedly, a sudden downpour came, followed by a mudslide…”

As he spoke, the guards knelt down altogether.

Li Yuyue immediately stood up from his chair and shouted, “What are you kneeling for? Gather everyone; we’re going into the mountain!”

Having heard from Father King, today Yan’er went to gather herbs for his mother on the mountain.

If anything were to happen to Yan’er, what would his mother and Father King do?

Li Yuyue dared not think too deeply.

For him, Leng Yu Yan was not only Yan’er but also Mian’er.

This time, he could not let any mishap befall her!

Li Yuyue cared not for the pouring rain and rushed into the curtain of rain.

Ji Qingyu quickly followed.

—

Inside the cave at this moment.

Leng Yu Yan’s body heat had temporarily subsided, and her eyes slowly opened.

What caught her sight was, a stunningly beautiful face, exquisitely chiseled jawline…

Her gaze drifted down; his clothing was disheveled, his inner clothes torn to shreds, faintly exposing his well-defined muscles.

And there her hand was, stuck like a suction cup onto his abdomen.

A troubling thought surfaced—could it be her who had torn his inner clothes?
