On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 266 - : Just Want to Monopolize

Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Just Want to Monopolize

Ye Yiheng’s brows furrowed tightly, “Who do you want to cooperate with?”

His voice was cold and brimming with anger, and there was an almost imperceptible hint of jealousy.

Whom had she sought? How come he wasn’t aware?

In just a few days, whom could she have found?

If he found out which troublesome fellow it was, he would cripple him!

Leng Yu Yan suddenly lowered her eyelids, her voice slightly cool, “This has nothing to do with Your Highness, the Crown Prince!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Yiheng took two steps towards her, blocking her way.

“Who is it?” he asked again.

Suddenly the blind man was only half a step away from her, a sense of oppression pouring down from above. Leng Yu Yan tilted her head up and took a deep breath quietly, hoping she could pull herself together and not be frightened by his intimidating coldness.

“I must attend the martial trials, and the appointed hour has arrived, please step aside, Your Highness, the Crown Prince!”

The woman before him—her delicate face soft as butter, her dark brows drawn into spirited arches—possessed a beauty unlike any other.

Ye Yiheng suppressed the urge to forcefully pull her into his embrace, to roll and crush his lips against her tender, rosy ones.

In his mind, he searched for which despicable lad she could be collaborating with.

Taking advantage of his seeming daze, Leng Yu Yan stepped past him and quickly left the room, hastening towards the drill ground.

Soon after, Ye Yiheng also left the room.

Song Guo hurriedly approached and supported his arm, asking quietly, “Your Highness, you are just going to let the Commandery Princess leave like that?”

Ye Yiheng responded indifferently, “What else?”

Song Guo thought to himself, shouldn’t he have fiercely pulled the Commandery Princess into his arms and kissed her passionately, even if it caused his cold disease to flare up, for she would surely come to his aid with her acupuncture.

When Leng Yu Yan arrived at the drill ground, she realized that in the main viewing stands, her grandfather and father, along with her four elder brothers, were all present.

This time was vastly different from the last, with her loving family supporting and protecting her, she was determined to face the trials in her best form.

Watching Leng Yu Yan’s striking figure on the training field, Lai Ran exclaimed, “Indeed, she is worthy of being my daughter!”

Lai Taihong sipped his tea lightly and asked, “What do you mean?”

“This child, Yan’er, she hasn’t been led astray by that good-for-nothing Leng Zongfa.”

Lai Taihong nodded unconsciously, “Ultimately, bloodline matters most. Yan’er has our Leng Family’s noble bloodline, and naturally, she possesses the valiant spirit that comes with it!”

Lai Ran looked into the distance, “Hmm, looking at her just now, I’m reminded of when I first followed my father into battle, I was only in my teens then.”

The conversation between father and son reached the ears of the Emperor standing nearby.

The Emperor’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and he huffed softly.

Of course, everyone thinks their own children are the best!

Before long, the competition officially began.

With Song Guo’s assistance, Ye Yiheng also arrived at the drill ground. Whereas the others were all watching the competition on the field, he was observing from the princes’ seating area, who among them Leng Yu Yan might choose as her collaborator.

Her new collaborator, he absolutely had to stop it!

Just thinking about the bargaining chips she’d offer for cooperation, the idea of her offering her warm bed to another man made Ye Yiheng utterly irritable.

In this world, she could only warm the bed for him alone!

Slowly, Ye Yiheng’s gaze shifted towards Ji Qingyu.

Another bothersome guy!

As expected, Leng Yu Yan made it through the first few rounds as the top contender.

By the time it came to the final round of competition, the weather turned unfavorable and it began to rain.

The rain was quite heavy, and the Sacrificial Officer furrowed his brows, reaching out to feel the rain, which pelted painfully into his palm.

Historically, only men became students at the Imperial College, and men with their rough and thick skin, a little rain was of no consequence.

But now there was an exceptional female candidate, making the Sacrificial Officer worry for Leng Yu Yan. He opened an umbrella and ran from the field to the main stand, respectfully asking the Emperor, “Your Majesty, the rain is coming down too hard. Shall we postpone the competition to another day?”

The stand had a cover on top, shielding from the rain, but the field was exposed to rain from all directions.

The Sacrificial Officer looked at the field, quite anxious.

The Emperor tapped his fingers on his knee, secretly grumbling. The Crown Prince and Princess Beilan were known for their deep affection for one another, so he decided to toss the question to the Crown Prince, turning towards Ye Yiheng and asking, “Crown Prince, under such conditions, what do you propose we do?”

If the Crown Prince cared for Leng Yu Yan and suggested canceling the remaining contests, he would face criticism.

He would be accused of not only being sickly but also of being overly sentimental and unfit to be a future emperor.

Moreover, since he, the current Emperor, hadn’t left his seat, even if it hailed, who would dare to stop the contest?

At this moment, he wanted to test the Crown Prince. Would he prioritize personal affection, or the welfare of the state?

Ye Yiheng replied calmly, “Shooting arrows in the rain adds to the difficulty, better showcasing the students’ abilities.”

If the old man really didn’t want to watch the contest because of the rain, he would have stood up early, not remaining seated without even changing his posture.

Even if he did suggest postponing the event, given the old man’s character, he would certainly make a grand speech saying that the students of the Imperial College are pillars of the nation and should not let fierce winds and storms stop their pursuit of excellence, and the competition would continue.

Furthermore, with all the men from Prince Zhenbei Mansion present, the Emperor would be very pleased to see Leng Yu Yan withdraw on the spot, since the loss of face would belong to Prince Zhenbei Mansion.

Most likely, the old man hoped he would say that due to Leng Yu Yan’s presence, the contest should be canceled. That would indicate the affection between them but would also highlight the special treatment of Prince Zhenbei Mansion by Tiancheng, leading people to think Prince Zhenbei Mansion looked down upon the Tian Family and was disrespectful.

Therefore, he would not indulge the old man’s wishes.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor was taken by surprise.

But he didn’t show it and nodded at the Sacrificial Officer, “Continue, then.”

Shooting from horseback in the rain required much more consideration.

Leng Yu Yan was glad she had just adjusted her chest wrap. Now, even if soaked by rain, her clothes clinging to her, she didn’t feel disheveled.

The men of the Leng Family in the stands were all anxious for Leng Yu Yan. Until today, none of them knew the level of her archery skills.

The final contest required them to ride on horseback and, after a gallop, shoot their arrows.

The rain was torrential, so heavy that even keeping one’s eyes open was difficult, let alone shooting arrows accurately in such conditions.

Drenched, Leng Yu Yan faced the onslaught of the downpour. Not only that, but as she mounted the horse, the strong wind blew, scattering the rain chaotically.

In such an environment, she herself had no certainty.

But, the Imperial College was Tiancheng’s most prestigious academy, with numerous competitors. If she couldn’t demonstrate exceptional skills, she would miss the chance to train at the Ministry of War.

Without entering the Ministry of War, she would lose a precious opportunity to uncover the truth.

She could no longer delay seeking revenge for Brother Leng Yi’s deep grievances!

Gripping the reins tightly, Leng Yu Yan closed her eyes.

Brother, when you faced towards the capital, were you thinking of your sister, right?

Sister feels ashamed, for up to this day, she has not found the culprits.

Now, with the opportunity before her, Brother, she will not waste a single shot!

Her eyes opened suddenly, revealing unwavering determination within.

Spurring the horse on, she charged through the curtain of rain, drawing the bow and releasing the arrow…

Amidst the thunderous applause of the audience, Leng Yu Yan secured the top position once again.

Just as Lai Ran had said, Leng Yu Yan carried his blood, she was his daughter, and naturally, was a woman not to be outdone by men!

A hint of a smile appeared on Ye Yiheng’s lips; she always surprised people.

Such a beautiful and excellent woman, he wanted her all to himself!
