On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness Chapter 112: 112: Beauty as a Companion
Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Beauty as a Companion
“Then let us have a few drinks today!” Mi Xini proposed, then whispered, “My parents are not ho today, so we can be open about it.”
Several people agreed.
Leng Yu Yan smiled and shook her head, “I can’t drink alcohol; I can only have a small cup.”
Lai Jiajia smiled and said, “No worries, no worries, if you get drunk, I’ll take you ho.”
The group chatted for a while, and Leng Yu Yan, seeing Li Xinrong still standing under the porch looking up at the sky, went over.
“Brother Mi, if your legs were still as before, what would you most like to do now?”
...
Mi Xinrong slightly turned his head; the girl beside him was graceful—today she wore no face veil but donned a tassel curtain hat instead.
Her exquisitely perfect features were revealed, stirring sothing within him.
Hearing her words, his heart surged even more.
“If my legs were in good shape, I’d go straight to the battlefield and slay my enemies myself!”
Leng Yu Yan raised her hand; the two walked under the trees in the courtyard.
“If I could, I would also slay my enemies.”
Mi Xinrong, not understanding, asked, “Miss Fifth, are you saying—?”
“If I could, I would go to the battlefield and slay my enemies to avenge my elder brother!”
Upon hearing this, Mi Xinrong was deeply moved, “Leng Yi was alive, I t him a few tis on the battlefield.”
Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan quickly asked, “Do you know about the battle my elder brother fought in?”
Mi Xinrong shook his head, “I couldn’t participate in that battle because I was recovering at ho with a broken leg.”
“If you seek the truth, you need to go to the battlefield from that year,” he paused, then added, “There are still so old soldiers there who know so truths.”
Leng Yu Yan could hardly hide her excitent, “How can I contact those old soldiers?”
“The vigilance of those old soldiers is extrely high, even if you go there, they might not tell the truth unless…”
“Unless what?”
“Unless I go myself, but now, my legs are so bad I can’t even ride a horse, let alone revisit the battlefield.”
Leng Yu Yan pondered for a mont and said seriously, “If I heal your legs and restore them as they were, and you help investigate the truth, would you take this deal?”
Looking at the determined girl before him, for so reason, Mi Xinrong believed her words and nodded, “I believe!”
Leng Yu Yan, recalling the skepticism he had about her recipe and now believing she could heal his legs, calmly said, “If you believe , I will heal your legs to my fullest ability. However, you must not tell anyone that it was I who healed your legs. Do you agree?”
“Not even to my own sister, or my parents?”
“Not to anyone!”
Considering she must have her reasons, Mi Xinrong nodded emphatically, “I agree! But, my legs are already in this condition, how do you propose to heal them?”
Facing his skepticism, Leng Yu Yan confidently said, “We’ll find a place outside to re-break the broken part of your leg and then reset the bones. The pain is unbearable for most people; even with anesthesia, it will only help temporarily, not permanently. Can you bear it?”
“Fearless during bloodshed days, why fear re-breaking my leg?”
Leng Yu Yan solemnly said, “Good. When the ti cos, I’ll choose a date to re-break and reset your leg. Then, you’ll have to lie down on your way ho. If your family asks, what will you answer?”
Mi Xinrong responded, “I’ll say I accidentally broke my leg again and need to recuperate at ho for half a year.”
This girl beside him had an aura, firm and composed, that inspired trust, resembling the commanding presence of an Emperor.
This kind of deanor, he had only seen in mbers of the Tian Family; now seeing it in a girl nearly the age of his own sister, he felt an urge to bow his head in deference.
“Good,” Leng Yu Yan said nonchalantly, “At that ti, I’ll write a prescription that can cut the recovery ti in half, to only three months.”
“That’s excellent!”
The two of them reached a transaction in the deserted area.
—
At dusk, Leng Yu Yan returned to the Eastern Palace from the Mi Family.
As soon as she returned to the Eastern Palace, the gatekeeper’s hesitant deanor made her shiver.
It was only when she passed by the lakeside that she understood why the gatekeeper had hesitated…
She saw Ye Yiheng, his eyes covered with a white veil, walking by the lake with a pretty woman.
Song Guo, who was supporting the Crown Prince, saw her return and quietly said a few words to Ye Yiheng.
Leng Yu Yan did not know what Song Guo had said, but she noticed that the young woman next to Ye Yiheng was looking her way.
Zheng Liqi giggled and said to Ye Yiheng, “That must be the Crown Prince Consort, right? Qi’er just returned to the capital yesterday and couldn’t attend the Flower Festival.”
Ye Yiheng replied indifferently, “It’s fine not to attend the Flower Festival.”
Zheng Liqi covered her mouth and laughed, “It’s a pity I didn’t see the Crown Prince Consort impersonating the Flower God. It’s said her dance moves were extrely graceful, stunning everyone!”
“You went to visit your maternal grandparents’ ho, did everything go well?” Ye Yiheng asked, seemingly unaware of Leng Yu Yan’s approaching footsteps.
“Thanks to Your Highness, everything went smoothly,” answered Zheng Liqi tenderly.
Her eyes fleetingly glanced towards Leng Yu Yan.
Seeing this, Miao Zhu, who was following beside Leng Yu Yan, beca very annoyed and spoke in a low voice, “Miss, I’m angry!”
“Don’t look if it’s disrespectful; let’s pass by from the side,” Leng Yu Yan said, her voice faint without any discernible emotion.
The lake was round. If they walked on that side and she walked on this side, they wouldn’t have to et at all.
If she disturbed his date with the woman beside him, then it would be her fault.
Last night, she had fully realized how dark and cold-hearted this blind man was.
Even if he disliked her, he still wanted to bind her to his side.
Such a person made her sowhat regret saving him the night before.
At that mont, Song Guo said to Ye Yiheng, “Your Highness, the lady is walking towards Tingfeng Garden from the other side of the lake.”
“Let her be,” Ye Yiheng said curtly, his thin lips barely moving.
Hearing this, Zheng Liqi narrowed her eyes, suppressing her rising smirk, and asked softly, “Your Highness, did my presence cause Miss Lai to misunderstand sothing?”
Ye Yiheng’s expression remained indifferent, his voice unhurried, “How could that be? She’s very generous.”
Generous enough to give him up to Fan Minmin.
The master and servant returned to Tingfeng Garden.
Leng Yu Yan sat in the study of Tingfeng Garden, the window open, her head resting in her palm as she gazed at the newly sprouted buds on the tree in the courtyard.
anwhile, Miao Zhu was tidying up a display shelf, endlessly grumbling, “All n are no good. Even the inept ones can’t stop their philandering ways!”
“Bah!” she grew more agitated as she spoke, “Why are good n so hard to find? Well, never mind, there’s no man worthy of the Miss!”
Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan smiled slightly, “Miao Zhu, bring a pot of the orange wine given by the Eldest Princess. It’s the perfect ti for a drink in this gentle breeze.”
“Alright!”
Miao Zhu stopped her work, washed her hands cleanly, and brought a pot of orange wine and a wine cup from the next room.
Leng Yu Yan poured and drank by herself, and even after six cups today, she didn’t feel drunk.
“Miao Zhu, look, I’m not drunk, am I getting better at holding my liquor?”
Miao Zhu frowned and stood aside, glancing at the somber-faced Crown Prince approaching, and whispered, “Miss, His Highness is here.”
Leng Yu Yan chuckled lightly, “That blind man has a beauty by his side, why would he co here?”
