On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 206 - Staying Alone by My Side
Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Staying Alone by My Side Chapter 206 -206: Staying Alone by My Side “Your Highness, Your Highness,” Leng Yu Yan almost stuttered, “what did you do to me?”
Because of her movements, the cloth piece on her forehead had fallen off.
Ye Yiheng lowered his head to look at her hand: “Shouldn’t you be asking yourself that question?”
Leng Yu Yan quickly withdrew her hand, which had been touching his skin, touched her burning forehead, and realized she must have been delirious not to sort out what was primary and secondary.
It seemed her hand had touched him, so, unnaturally pinching her fingers together, she took a moment before finally asking, “Did I do something to Your Highness?”
Her voice was like a startled oriole, her eyes like a panicked deer.
Ye Yiheng’s brows furrowed slightly; no matter how one looked at it, it seemed as though he had bullied her.
But there, she had taken advantage of him.
However, seeing her unease, he curled the corners of his lips into an amused smile and moved the hand that was holding her, “What do you think?”
Only then did Leng Yu Yan realize again that she was in his arms.
She abruptly got up from his embrace, but as the dull pain in her ankle hit her, she toppled over to the side.
Ye Yiheng caught her swiftly with his quick reflexes.
Leng Yu Yan looked down at her injured ankle, already bandaged, and understood that he must have torn his inner clothes to bandage her ankle and cool her forehead.
“Thank you!”
Her thanks were sincere.
He let her go at the right moment. He had been holding her all along, using his cold body to cool her down, and now he could finally tie his outer robe properly.
Seeing him silent, Leng Yu Yan pursed her lips, “I owe you a set of inner clothes.”
At her words, Ye Yiheng’s deep phoenix eyes fixed on her, “I save you and all I get is a set of inner clothes?”
“What else then?” Leng Yu Yan put the herbs she held into her wallet and looked up at him, “What else do you want, Your Highness?”
Their gazes locked…
The girl before him, lips even redder from the fever, shone with a tempting luster, as if beckoning to be plucked, stirring one’s heartstrings.
He stepped forward twice, slowly bending down.
Watching the handsome face draw closer, Leng Yu Yan was shocked and her eyes widened.
Was he going to kiss her?
Or bite her neck?
A chill went through Leng Yu Yan’s heart, and she raised her hand to greet his face.
Ye Yiheng’s large hand seized her slender wrist.
“Thinking of hitting me?”
“The Crown Prince wouldn’t be playing the playboy, would he?”
At her words, Ye Yiheng’s brows twisted; he almost lost his composure just now and thus released her hand.
Suddenly, a snake flicked its red tongue and slithered over, thrusting its head up, launching an attack.
Just as it was about to bite Leng Yu Yan’s neck, Ye Yiheng embraced her, spinning her body around, and raised his hand to block.
Unexpectedly, the snake leaped into the air and bit into his neck.
Ye Yiheng grabbed the snake’s head and neck and shattered its bones with his Inner Strength.
Shockingly, he had saved her from the snake’s bite, only to be bitten himself.
Leng Yu Yan looked at the limp snake body on the ground and said solemnly, “Your Highness, don’t move, the snake is poisonous.”
Ye Yiheng then felt a numb sensation on his neck.
Leng Yu Yan asked him to sit down on the spot and after a careful examination, said, “Fortunately, it didn’t bite a vital point.”
Had an artery been bitten, the poison would spread rapidly, and the consequences were unthinkable.
Ye Yiheng, keeping his neck stiff, only asked, “What should be done?”

“Do you have a dagger, Your Highness?”
“Yes.”
He pulled out an exquisite dagger from his boot and handed it to her.
Leng Yu Yan took it over, unfolded it, “Your Highness, I must apologize for the offense!”
As soon as she finished speaking, not waiting for his agreement, she directly pricked open the two wounds on his neck the size of rice grains and began to squeeze out the blood.
But squeezing like this was no solution.
Thinking that her mouth was not wounded and he was injured only because he saved her, she, in rushed concern, opened her mouth to suck.
Her lip was so delicately soft…
Ye Yiheng’s hand resting by his side trembled.
“I bit her neck before, and now, it’s my neck that got bitten by a snake.”
“And she’s actually helping me like this!”
“Leng Yu Yan, stay by my side!”
I’ve never wanted to be with her this urgently and sincerely!
Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan paused in her movements, turned her head to spit out the blood she had sucked out, and wordlessly placed her lips on the wound again.
After repeating this three times, she limped to the cave entrance and rinsed her mouth with the rainwater.
Ye Yiheng felt the numbness in his neck fade away, and also approached the cave entrance. “You didn’t answer. Does that mean you agree?”
Leng Yu Yan wiped the rainwater from her lips. “Earlier Your Highness saved me, and I am returning the favor by saving Your Highness’s life. With that, we’re even. There’s no need to involve anything else.”
Ye Yiheng pondered for a moment, then said, “You saved me from the snakebite, and I helped you detoxify; that’s even. But what about at the cliff? How do you count that?”
Leng Yu Yan furrowed her brows. “I’ll compensate you a piece of inner clothing for yours, and besides, if you hadn’t brought me here, I would have woken up on my own.”
At the cliff, she hadn’t climbed very high. So falling down wasn’t a big problem.
Ye Yiheng rubbed his forehead. His intention wasn’t to settle scores.
Between him and her, could things ever be truly settled?
He just wanted her to stay by his side.
Almost as if possessed, he casually began, “You’ve touched me. Aren’t you going to take responsibility?”
Leng Yu Yan was dumbfounded.
She knew from yesterday that he was shameless, and today, she was reminded once again.
“I was unbearably feverish, and Your Highness’s body was cool,” Leng Yu Yan said with trembling lips. “It wasn’t my intention to touch you. If Your Highness feels wronged, then at worst…”
Seeing her hesitating to continue, Ye Yiheng’s stern features softened considerably.
“At worst what?”
His voice contained a trace of teasing that was barely perceptible.
Leng Yu Yan lowered her head. All she did was touch his waist, and if he insisted on touching back, what should she do?
Thinking thus, she felt both angry and annoyed, her cheeks flushing red.
Because of her irritation, her chest heaved.
Noticing this, Ye Yiheng quickly averted his gaze in a fluster.
“At worst, Your Highness can just chop off my hand.”
She extended the hand that had rested on his waist earlier.
Ye Yiheng shook his head but said nothing…
When suddenly she added, “Your Highness shakes his head, which means you won’t chop off my hand. In that case, I thank Your Highness for the mercy!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Yiheng curved his lips into a smile.
She was quite good at spinning tales.
At this moment, numerous calls came from outside.
“Commandery Princess, Commandery Princess!”
“Yan’er, Yan’er!”
Leng Yu Yan stood at the cave entrance and waved. “I’m here!”
Before long, Li Yuyue found Leng Yu Yan with a group of people.
Seeing her flushed face, Li Yuyue’s sharp gaze turned toward Ye Yiheng.
“What have you done to Yan’er, Your Highness?”
“Big brother, it was Your Highness who saved me,” Leng Yu Yan told the truth. “To save me, Your Highness even got bitten by a venomous snake.”
Li Yuyue gave a faint “Hmm” of acknowledgment but still asked with concern, “Why is your face so red?”
“I got drenched in the rain, and I’m running a bit of a fever,” Leng Yu Yan closed her eyes and then collapsed onto the ground, her body going limp.
Almost simultaneously, Ye Yiheng, Li Yuyue, and Ji Qingyu moved to support her.
Li Yuyue brushed the others aside and lifted Leng Yu Yan horizontally in his arms.
Only then did he realize that his sister was burning up with a serious fever.
Watching this unfold, Ye Yiheng felt uneasy inside, but after all, they were siblings.
At this moment, the other men present, including himself, couldn’t rightfully do anything for her.
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he said, “Heir Lai, I suffer from a cold disease and can help lower her temperature.”
Not to be outdone, Ji Qingyu added, “I have inner strength too.”
Li Yuyue: “…”
Two lunatics!
