On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 207 - Inappropriate Courtesy

Chapter 207: Chapter 207 Inappropriate Courtesy Chapter 207 -207 Inappropriate Courtesy Song Guo appeared just in time, “Your Highness, why are you here? You made me search.”

“Quick, support me.” Ye Yiheng touched the wound on his neck where the snake had bitten him, “The snake poison is not completely cleared, I feel a bit dizzy…”

Upon hearing this, Li Yuyue frowned and, without a word, carried Leng Yu Yan down the mountain.

Ji Qingyu looked at the wound on Ye Yiheng’s neck and asked doubtfully, “Were you really bitten by a snake?”

Ye Yiheng coughed lightly, “That snake is still in the cave, next to a pool of blood, go and see for yourself.”

Ji Qingyu lifted his robe and walked into the cave.

Inside the spacious cave, indeed there was a dead snake, next to several pools of blood.

Why were there several pools of blood?

Pondering, Ji Qingyu suddenly realized…

If a blind man’s arm was bitten, he could suck the poison blood from the wound himself.

But the blind man was bitten on the neck, in such a place, unless the blind man had two heads, he could suck the wound himself.

The scene before him told him, it was Ah Yan who used her mouth for the blind man…

Ji Qingyu clenched his fist and punched the rock wall, skin breaking at the joints of his fingers, immediately beads of blood oozed out.

Seeing this, Ye Yiheng’s lips curved into a slight smile.

Ji Qingyu, you’re no match for me!

By the time the group returned to Prince Zhenbei Mansion, night had fallen.

Lai Ran anxiously awaited at the entrance, and upon seeing his eldest son carrying his daughter back, his heart was once again suspended.

“What’s wrong with Yan’er?”

Li Yuyue candidly said, “Father King, my sister caught in the rain, she’s running a bit of a fever, and her ankle is also injured.”

Lai Ran shifted his gaze to behind his son, only to see the Crown Prince being supported by a little eunuch, looking extremely weak. His sight moved to another side, where Prince Qing who had visited the Prince Mansion in the afternoon was present.

“Crown Prince and Prince Qing, please return!” Lai Ran said indifferently, “My youngest daughter is ill, we cannot entertain guests today.”

Ji Qingyu bowed with a fist, “Prince Zhenbei, then I shall take my leave.”

Lai Ran nodded and turned his gaze back to Ye Yiheng.

Ye Yiheng suddenly coughed violently, his body swaying weakly.

Song Guo quickly supported him with both hands, “Prince Zhenbei, the Crown Prince was bitten by a poisonous snake while saving the Commandery Princess, and still has some residual venom. If he returns to the Eastern Palace now, it will bring a lot of trouble.”

Lai Ran narrowed his eyes, seeing indeed two small holes on Ye Yiheng’s neck.

If the Crown Prince was really bitten while saving Yan’er, once he returns to the Eastern Palace and an Imperial Physician is called, the issue could blow up.

This kind of heroic rescue story…

In that case, the Emperor would have an excuse to match the blind Crown Prince with Yan’er.

That would render the Leng Family’s effort at yesterday’s palace banquet to “tactfully refuse” the arranged marriage futile!

Considering this, Lai Ran said gravely, “Then let the Crown Prince stay in our mansion for a few days. Although our house doctor is not as skilled as the Imperial Physician, he has considerable research on removing residual snake venom.”

It’s better to keep him under our watch for the house doctor to examine.

To avoid the Ye Family making a big fuss and wild speculations.

Li Yuyue disagreed, but he had no choice, so he silently carried Leng Yu Yan back to the back courtyard.

Ji Qingyu also wanted to stay, but he had already said his goodbyes.

He could only watch as Ye Yiheng openly entered the Prince Zhenbei Mansion.

The house doctor first examined Leng Yu Yan’s pulse and prescribed medicine to reduce her fever. Her leg wound was cleaned and dressed again by the medical woman.

He then went to the guest courtyard to check on the Crown Prince’s injury, wrote out a prescription as well, and provided an ointment for external application.

Li Yuyue sat in the study for a while before he heard the house doctor come to report.

“Princely Heir, the Commandery Princess’s fainting is due to the high fever; once it subsides, she will recover. The injury on her leg is not serious; with proper recuperation for a few days once the scab forms, it should heal.”

“And the Crown Prince?”

“The Crown Prince’s pulse is strange, there seems to be multiple toxins in his body. I, with my limited knowledge, cannot determine whether there is still residual snake venom in the Crown Prince’s body.”

Li Yuyue waved his hand, “You can’t be blamed for this; you may withdraw.”

The house doctor acknowledged and left.

That night,

the Old Princess Consort watched Leng Yu Yan sleeping soundly, her heart ached with worry.

Beside her, the fever-reducing medicine had been sitting for quite some time, but how to administer it?

Miao Zhu volunteered with zeal, “Old Princess Consort, allow me to do it.”

“Good, be careful.”

Miao Zhu nodded, helped Leng Yu Yan up, and made her half-lie in front of her. She pinched Leng Yu Yan’s cheeks with one hand and took a spoon with the other, spooning the medicine in one after another.

The Old Princess Consort was astounded, “You girl, your hands and feet are quite nimble.”

But she wondered if the girl might have pinched her precious granddaughter’s face too harshly?

“I have been with the Commandery Princess since I was a child. When she was young and was poisoned, she hated the bitter medicine and didn’t want to take it. It was always me who fed her like this.”

Hearing this, the Old Princess Consort slowly nodded, realizing she couldn’t blame the maid for her brusque actions.

After being given the fever-reducing medicine in her slumber, Leng Yu Yan woke up drenched in sweat not much later, and her fever also subsided.

Only then did the Old Princess Consort go back to rest.

Upon hearing that their sister had awakened, all four brothers came to visit her one after another.

In the conversation, they learned that the Crown Prince was staying in their house, which puzzled Leng Yu Yan.

“Why is the Crown Prince living in our home?”

Leng Yuqing said, “Most likely because he has thick skin.”

The twins echoed in agreement.

“It’s an excuse because of the snake poison that hasn’t been completely cleared,” Lai Yu told her, unable to refrain from advising, “Sister, the Crown Prince is not a person worth getting close to!”

Leng Yu Yan nodded, “Brothers, do any of you have brand new undergarments that you haven’t worn?”

This question was a bit strange, and they asked her the reason.

Men’s ready-to-wear shops mostly sold outer robes and shirts.

In this era, undergarments were usually made privately by family members.

She didn’t want to sew for a certain person, so she had no choice but to honestly talk about how that person tore his undergarments to bandage her and apply the poultice to her forehead.

“I owe him an undergarment.”

“That’s easy to handle,” the four brothers said unanimously.

They must not allow their sister to have any entanglement with the Crown Prince!

That night, the four Leng brothers took turns sending undergarments to Ye Yiheng.

Ye Yiheng frowned as he looked at the four snow-white, brand-new undergarments laid out side by side on the bed.

So this was her way of repayment.

In the quiet of the night, Ye Yiheng sneaked into Leng Yu Yan’s boudoir.

Leng Yu Yan had just sweated profusely and, after bathing in the bathroom, came out wearing her nightgown. She sat down at the dressing table when she sensed someone in the room.

She looked warily towards the door.

The light was dimmer at the door than at the dressing table. She could only see him standing in the shadow, sinister.

In her mind, she couldn’t help but recall the jumbled images from her dreams, where he always appeared stern and cold, never smiling at her.

And now, he seemed to overlap with the man from her dreams.

The summer nightgown was thin, and being white, it was slightly transparent. Leng Yu Yan pinched the cloth at her chest.

She wondered what his purpose was for making such a visit.

“Your Highness, coming to my room like this is inappropriate.”

He didn’t respond, just slowly approached.

The candlelight gradually illuminated his figure and his exceptionally handsome features, but it couldn’t light up his eyes.

His eyes were as deep as the dark abyss of the night, seeming ready to pull someone in at any moment.

Suddenly, Ye Yiheng spoke, “By returning the undergarment in such a manner, are you trying to sever ties with me?”

“What if I am?” Leng Yu Yan averted her gaze.

His eyes could easily see right through someone, as if all of one’s little thoughts were transparent before him.

Suddenly, she began to suspect that someone had poisoned him blind because his eyes were too shrewd.
