On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness Chapter 342: 342: Do You Really Want Me to Hold You?

Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Do You Really Want to Hold You?

She passed the dark green to him, “Let’s change our outer garnts and put on the shoulder scarfs again, by doing so, we can better blend into the crowd.”

“Good,” Ye Yiheng nodded in agreent.

The two turned around, back to back, and started changing their outer garnts.

Before long, they were both disguised.

Thinking that her face was too fair, Leng Yu Yan dabbed her fingertip with so eyebrow pencil and sared it on both her and his faces.

With this disguise, she was quite satisfied, hiding so of their sharpness.

Then she turned and saw that they were both wearing shoulder scarfs, looking like a couple’s outfit, which made her feel uncomfortable.

But since he had no idea what a couple’s outfit was, she suppressed that discomfort in her heart.

“There are people searching ahead, and there’s a village if we go back. We can’t go either way,” Ye Yiheng surveyed their surroundings and pointed to the left, “Down there is the river; we can take the water route.”

After a pause, recalling that she got seasick, he quickly objected, “No, the water route won’t work.”

“Why won’t the water route work? Let’s just take the water route.”

Leng Yu Yan picked up her bundle and headed to the left.

Ye Yiheng also shouldered his bundle and quickly caught up, taking the bundle on her shoulder onto his own as well, “But you get seasick.”

“I’ll endure it,” she reached out to take back her bundle, “You have injuries on your back, it’s only right that I carry the bundle.”

“I am a man!”

Ye Yiheng strode forward, not giving her any chance to take back the bundle.

Leng Yu Yan jogged to keep up, “Then let’s take the water route. As long as you don’t get angry or harsh with , I’ll feel better on the boat.”

Hearing this, he stopped and stared into her eyes, when had he ever gotten angry or harsh with her?

Forget it, now was not the ti to argue.

When soone does not smile, and they look at people like that, their gaze is like the frosty snow of this very mont, capable of freezing a person solid.

Seeing that he wanted to say sothing but stopped, with a sharp look in his eyes, Leng Yu Yan muttered, “You just glared at , that’s being harsh.”

Ye Yiheng pinched the bridge of his nose, he hadn’t said a word, just a glance at her, and she called him harsh.

Heaven above, the woman beside him was so unreasonable!

Elsewhere.

Miao Zhu had walked for two days erging from the endless mountain ranges, and due to having eaten nothing, she collapsed in the snow from lack of strength.

Before she lost consciousness, she recalled every little detail of her ti spent with the Commandery Princess, and a crystal clear tear slid from the corner of her eye.

Sohow today’s assassinations had lessened, Mo Chen Ruo Feng could finally rest for a bit, so he dozed off inside the horse carriage, with Song Guo handling the reins.

Passing by the road, he saw what seed to be a human figure covered in snow on the ground, and Song Guo slowed the carriage down to avoid running over the lump.

Inclined to ‘better less trouble than more,’ Song Guo didn’t want to get involved.

But out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the human figure on the ground that looked like soone he recognized!

Upon closer inspection, the person’s face on the ground seed to be breathing, so the snow hadn’t covered it too much…

Not good!

Song Guo was alard; the person was Miao Zhu!

He quickly pulled the reins, and Mo Chen Ruo Feng, who had been dozing off in the carriage, leaned forward, snapping to alertness.

“An assassin?”

The two hurriedly exited the carriage.

They saw Song Guo jump down, help the person up from the ground, and casually brush the snow off her eyebrows.

Only then did they clearly see that the person Song Guo was helping was Miao Zhu.

Mo Chen hopped off the carriage, puzzled, “Wasn’t Miao Zhu with Liu Yun and the others?”

Ruofeng also disembarked, “Could it be that sothing happened to Liu Yun, Yin Shuang, and the scholar?”

Miao Zhu’s body was stiff as a board, and together the three of them hoisted her onto the horse carriage.

Song Guo expressed his concern, “Her whole body is frozen stiff; what should we do?”

Mo Chen exchanged a glance with Ruofeng; warming her up was a challenge.

After exchanging a look, both of them simultaneously fixed their gaze on Song Guo and said in unison, “Take off her frozen clothes, and you hold her.”

Mo Chen added, “Cover her with blankets and anything else available in the carriage.”

Song Guo pointed at himself, “You really want to hold her?”

“Would you rather it be us?” Mo Chen stated bluntly, “You are a eunuch!”

Ruofeng nodded in agreent, “Exactly, if we held her, how could she face us when she wakes up?”

Knowing Miao Zhu’s fiery temperant, she might just fight with them.

Song Guo gritted his teeth and pursed his lips, and for a long ti, he couldn’t utter a word of dissent.

Eventually, he finally said, “If I must hold her, then I will. But if Miao Zhu falls for , you guys better not fight over her!”

Mo Chen and Ruofeng shared another look; if one of them held her, the other would certainly not agree. Rather than bicker, it was best to let Song Guo do it.

After all, Song Guo was a eunuch.

At this mont in Lin State.

The river was wide, and a large ship was docked at the pier.

At the dock, the officials, holding portraits, were scrutinizing passerby. Only those who passed the inspection were allowed towards the pier to board the ship.

At the foot of the hill, Leng Yu Yan tugged at Ye Yiheng’s sleeve and whispered, “Let’s find another way around.”

Ye Yiheng grasped her hand tugging at his sleeve, analyzing, “Lin State is close to the capital, and given the current situation, there are likely soldiers guarding every village. We’d encounter them on land anyway. It would be better to take a ship, and only go through inspection once.”

She nodded, convinced by his reasoning.

Side by side, they walked toward the pier.

The closer Leng Yu Yan got to the pier, the more nervous she beca. Ye Yiheng reassured her again by holding her hand, “Don’t be afraid!”

She wasn’t scared; if it ca down to it, she’d just fight.

Now, seeing the portraits up close, she felt tense.

The portrait of Ye Yiheng showed him with an eye veil and a golden crown, his entire bearing was like a graceful and handso jade tree.

But upon reflection, the man beside her had a beard, no veil over his eyes, and was dressed plainly. Anyone who wasn’t familiar with him would find it difficult to associate the man in the portrait with Ye Yiheng now beside her.

His firm and powerful grip on her hand also helped to set her slightly more at ease.

They moved slowly with the crowd to the inspection counter.

When it was their turn, the official with the portrait glanced at Ye Yiheng and compared it with his face, then quickly shook his head, “Go on, go on, go on.”

Leng Yu Yan’s heart relaxed a little, following the remarkably calm man as they continued toward the pier.

The crowd was too thick, and the inspection was slow.

Though they had passed the inspection counter, they were still close to it, and Leng Yu Yan remained sowhat anxious.

A man who appeared to be in charge approached the officials briskly and said, “It’s been reported that in other states, they found the Abolished Crown Prince’s horse carriage. It fell off a cliff, so it’s sowhat difficult to look for the body.”

“One of them laughed and said, “Since the higher-ups want the Crown Prince’s head, why don’t we…” he smiled, “this way, we can get the reward.”

The leading official asked, “What do you an?”

That man said with a smirk, “I’m just saying that guy from just now wearing a shoulder scarf looked similar; if we can’t find the Abolished Crown Prince, why not just find soone else to pretend?”

“As long as we have a head,” another man agreed with a nod, pointing towards the pier, “How about that one wearing the shoulder scarf?”

The leading official squinted his eyes and saw indeed a figure ahead with a straight back and a very handso appearance and promptly shouted at him, “Hey, you in the shoulder scarf, halt!”
