On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness Chapter 343: 343: Whether to Board the Ship

Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Whether to Board the Ship

Leng Yu Yan’s palms imdiately broke into a sweat, and Ye Yiheng gave her hand a squeeze, signaling her not to panic.

Then he turned around and said to the official soldiers, “Calling ?”

The leading soldier looked at his bearded face and waved his hand dismissively, “Scram, scram, scram!”

Ye Yiheng turned back and continued walking toward the dock with Leng Yu Yan.

Just as they were about to board the ship, the ship boss said, “The ship is almost full today, no more boarding.”

Those unable to board the ship shouted, “It takes days for a ship like this to co along, we’re all rushing to get ho for the New Year, you’re delaying our plans!”

“Exactly, exactly, I can see there’s still space on the ship, why can’t we get on, we’re not refusing to pay with silver coins.”

The ship boss said, “Our ship boss is not in a good mood today and doesn’t want to take you all, so what?”

Discontented murmurs rose from the people, yet no one dared to retort.

The ship belonged to the ship boss after all, if he didn’t want to take them, what could they do?

The leading soldier knocked each of his subordinates on the head, “If you really want a head, don’t pick soone with a full beard, have you got a screw loose in your heads?”

One of them, holding his head, said with an aggrieved tone, “If the beard is shaved off, he’ll look just the sa.”

Another chid in, “Since he fell off a cliff, his face must be a complete ss.”

Upon hearing this, the leader felt it made sense and mused, “Let think.”

Leng Yu Yan slightly turned her head to see that the soldiers were constantly looking at Ye Yiheng, studying the portrait now and then, and she anxiously scratched the palm of his hand, “What should we do?”

Ye Yiheng calmly took out the bamboo token Ah Qiang had given him and showed it to the ship boss, “With this, can I board the ship?”

The ship boss squinted at it and gestured for him to co aboard.

Ye Yiheng, pulling Leng Yu Yan, was about to board when the ship boss stopped them, “Who is this woman?”

Leng Yu Yan quickly said, “I’m his sister.”

Ye Yiheng also nodded, “Yes, we’re brother and sister.”

If they were brother and sister, then let it be so, she had her wish fulfilled.

“Since you’re brother and sister, then co aboard.” With that, the ship boss signaled the shipman to make way.

Those who couldn’t board the ship were calling out again, “Why can they get on the ship?”

The ship boss snorted, “They also work on ships, and those who run ships get to board for free, would you get on if they didn’t? There’s no such rule!”

Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan successfully boarded the ship, and with narrowed eyes, Ye Yiheng took a glance at the soldiers still scrutinizing the portrait.

The leading soldier suddenly rembered the new instructions and shouted, “Forget those two with the big heads, didn’t you hear they work on ships, how can runners of ships impersonate the Abolished Crown Prince? Even if only the head of the Abolished Crown Prince were left, his aura is not sothing ordinary people can imitate.”

“Now we don’t only want the head, but the whole body!”

“Just think, the Abolished Crown Prince, having lived in luxury, his skin would be soft and delicate, how can it compare to a ship-running man’s? Even if we caught that bearded man, the higher-ups would see through us imdiately!”

He slapped his two subordinates on the face, “Go, go, go, guard this dock properly!”

If it was revealed that he used soone else’s body to impersonate the Abolished Crown Prince, his own head would not be safe either.

The two flatteringly replied, “You speak nothing but the truth!”

Soon after, the ship drifted away from the dock.

Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan exchanged glances, seeing the concern and heartache in each other’s eyes.

Was it Mo Chen and his group, or Liu Yun’s, who fell off the cliff with the horse carriage?

But now on the ship, it was not the place to discuss such matters.

Ye Yiheng tucked the bamboo token back into his belt; the bamboo token Ah Qiang gave really ca in handy, not only did they board the ship, but they also didn’t have to pay the fare.

It’s just that Ah Qiang and his wife might be the lowest class among those running on the ship, because only they were arranged into the civilian cabin at the bottom of the boat by the ship boss handling the bamboo tokens.

Most of the people who just boarded the ship were also driven by the shipn to the civilian cabin.

For a mont, the narrow entranceway was extrely crowded.

As they squeezed through, several n noticed Leng Yu Yan, who despite having dust on her face, had fine features and a graceful figure, and unscrupulously pressed closer to her.

Ye Yiheng wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulled her into his embrace, and then glared like a blade at the several n beside him.

Noticing his daunting deanor, those n nonchalantly squeezed ahead.

Their hands, anwhile, brushed against the won nearby as if trying to cop a feel.

From the corner of her eye, Leng Yu Yan saw that those won were angry but dared not speak up; had she not been in soone’s arms, she feared she might have been groped as well.

With so many people, if she rashly complained about soone getting handsy, many would undoubtedly tell her to stop being so delicate and to go ho if she wanted comfort.

Right then, a young woman actually grabbed one of the n, slapped him across the face, and demanded, “Dare to grope ?”

The man sneered, “Who’d want to grope you with such a flat ass, hahaha…”

Imdiately after, what seed to be the man’s wife slapped the young woman back and shouted, “Oh, acting all high-and-mighty, as if my husband fancies your tofu!”

As she spoke, she proudly thrust out her ample bosom.

Instantly, laughter erupted throughout the cabin.

This place was a chaotic jumble of all sorts, a place where even with a good reason, it’s hard to make oneself clear.

Ye Yiheng shook his head at her, signaling her not to ddle.

Before Leng Yu Yan could nod, the sound of the young woman fighting with the man’s wife like throwing a tantrum ca from behind them.

At the sa ti, two other young n stepped forward and beat up the man who had been groping others.

The scene temporarily descended into chaos, but this action deterred the n who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to grope others from their disgusting intentions.

The cabin was in disarray with argunts erupting constantly, but no one paid attention to Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan standing in the corner.

It was then that the ship boss ca over and loudly said, “Stop the commotion, you’ve disturbed my daughter! Whoever continues will be thrown into the river to feed the fish!”

Imdiately, the cabin fell silent.

Suddenly, soone asked the ship boss, “With so many people in this cabin, how will we sleep at night?”

The ship boss sneered, “How to sleep? Sleep right on the ground.”

A man chuckled lasciviously, “There are so many won here; sleeping all together will make us feel like we’ve lived the Emperor’s life.”

At this remark, laughter broke out again.

The young woman’s scolding followed close behind.

Soone egged her on, “What’s all the fuss? If you can, go buy a big ship and don’t co squeeze with us in the civilian cabin.”

An older woman added, “Exactly, acting so snobby without a penny to your na!”

Another remarked, “So people didn’t even manage to get on the boat just now. This boat takes several days to make its run, and missing this trip ans possibly not getting back in ti for the New Year.”

Hearing that everyone in the cabin had to cram together for the night, Leng Yu Yan started to feel sick.

The air in the cabin was not circulating well, and so people seed to have gone quite a while without bathing, carrying a noticeable odor.

Already prone to seasickness, she now felt even worse.

She clutched Ye Yiheng’s lapel and swayed weakly in his embrace.

Seeing her in such a state pained Ye Yiheng, but fleeing Lin State, this was the only way.

So he could only hold her waist firmly with one hand, keeping her as close to himself as possible to prevent her from falling, and with the other hand raised he asked, “Ship boss, how much silver for a private room?”
