On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness Chapter 427: 427: Exploring Doubts
Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Exploring Doubts
Ye Yiheng pursed his lips and smiled faintly, a spark of interest flashing through his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Leng Yu Yan smiled softly and lodiously said, “Then forget it, I’ll just go back.”
Ha, did he think she was a three-year-old child easily deceived?
Moreover, the two had an unpleasant argunt, and just a few words made up for it?
She was not that foolish.
His suspicion of her identity had already taken root, like a seed buried in his heart, bound to grow more intense over ti.
Looking at the petite woman before him, with her fine brows and bright eyes, and a smile on her peachy cheeks, her silence as she looked at him instantly made him realize she wasn’t telling the truth.
Dreaming of a different world was so bizarre and eerie; he highly doubted its authenticity.
Even though he had read a lot about strange and mysterious solitary records, never had he heard of such oddities.
Yet her tears were real, and Ye Yiheng’s profound eyes turned towards her, “Do you really want to go back?”
Leng Yu Yan nodded, “Ah Ju is undergoing walking rehabilitation, these few days are crucial, and I must go back.”
Thinking he would disagree, she added, “Ah Ju is your sister, and now that we know about her leg condition, I believe you too would hope for her to fully recover soon, right?”
Ye Yijeng’s eyes and brows moved slightly, “I will have Mo Chen take you.”
“Thank you!”
Leng Yu Yan gratefully smiled and raised her eyes to see his strikingly beautiful face carrying a detached expression. She then decided not to linger in the Eastern Palace any longer; both she and he needed so ti to calm down.
Thinking thus, she began to walk away.
Ye Yiheng calmly watched her retreating figure, his lips lightly curling upwards. Just as she crossed the threshold, he said, “Finding the Divine Doctor in the Linqing Pavilion is not difficult for . Those Four Guardians, those Pavilion mbers, if I exert a bit of effort, tracking the Divine Doctor will likely be more direct.”
Leng Yu Yan’s heart skipped a beat, her face turning frantic with fear.
She masked her facial expression, her lips curling into a smile as she leisurely turned around to look at him, “Your Highness, as the Heir of Tiancheng, you should worry about the country and its people. Linqing Pavilion should be within the Tiansheng Territory, and those protectors and Pavilion mbers are also Tiansheng citizens. I trust you wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“Are you worried about them?”
Ye Yiheng asked, his deep eyes sharpening.
“Doctor’s original intention, Your Highness, surely you haven’t forgotten that I am also considered a doctor?” Leng Yu Yan smiled even more indifferently, “Of course, if Linqing Pavilion were ever to commit sothing truly heinous, then disregard what I’ve just said.”
Only she knew that the calr her smile appeared, the more chaos reigned within her heart.
She absolutely could not let him see any sign of it.
“I’m going back.” Leng Yu Yan lifted her skirt, her steps light as she departed.
Ye Yiheng lightly touched his forehead and commanded Mo Chen, hidden in the shadows, “When you take the Commandery Princess back, pay attention to her expression.”
Mo Chen appeared and asked, “Your Highness, do you suspect the Commandery Princess is linked to the Linqing Pavilion?”
“Her dical skills surpass what I thought, I indeed suspect so.”
“Understood!” Mo Chen bowed and left.
***Leng Yu Yan and Miao Zhu waited at the Eastern Palace’s gate for a while before they saw Mo Chen driving over.
Boarding the coach, Leng Yu Yan was cautious, leaning on Miao Zhu and resting in silence all the way back.
After delivering Leng Yu Yan and her servant Miao Zhu to the Prince Zhenbei Mansion, Mo Chen returned to the Eastern Palace to report.
“Your Highness, the princess did not speak at all on the way; perhaps she was tired. When I drove up to the Mansion and opened the door, I found the Princess still resting, leaning on Miao Zhu,” reported Mo Chen.
Ye Yiheng nodded slightly, “Understood.”
Today in the Eastern Palace’s guest room, Mo Chen heard everything and beca aware of His Highness, the Princely Heir’s doubts.
At the mont, seeing the Princely Heir’s stern face, Mo Chen couldn’t help but say, “Your Highness, since you have your suspicions, why not ask Miao Zhu? She was thrown into the mountains along with the Commandery Princess and naturally knows the details.”
Ye Yiheng imperceptibly lifted his eyelids, “If soone else tried to make inquiries about through you, would you tell them?”
Mo Chen’s mind shuddered, “I understand.”
Ye Yiheng waved his hand dismissively, and Mo Chen withdrew.
Leng Yu Yan returned to her courtyard, yet to calm the anxious feelings caused by soone’s words at the Eastern Palace, when a palace maid from Ye Jiu arrived to see her.
Leng Yu Yan instructed Miao Zhu to prepare the dical kit and followed the footsteps of the palace maid to the guest quarters.
Seeing Leng Yu Yan arrive, Ye Jiu, who was supporting herself on the back of a chair, waved her over and then motioned for the palace maid to close the door.
Leng Yu Yan looked at her secretive deanor and approached her quietly, asking in a low voice, “Is sothing the matter?”
Ye Jiu held onto her hand and carefully stepped forward, “I received a ssage that my little sister and her husband will arrive in the capital tomorrow.”
“The Tenth Princess replaced you in the marriage alliance, what brings her back this ti?” Leng Yu Yan slightly frowned.
It was rare to hear of a Princess of Marriage returning for a family visit, which sounded strange no matter how one heard it.
“The Tenth Princess and I are of similar age, born only a few days apart. Originally, the other side had chosen for the marriage alliance, but because I broke my leg, Father Emperor commanded her to go in my stead. She has hated deeply for that. If she’s coming back now, it must be for revenge or with resentnt in her heart.”
“Breaking your leg wasn’t your wish, who enters into marriage is decided by the Emperor.”
“The logic is understood by everyone, but she hates . Before she left the capital, she told that one day she would settle the score with .” Ye Jiu gripped Leng Yu Yan’s hand tightly, “Ah Yan, today I must practice even more, striving to walk unassisted by you.”
“Give it your best shot!” After a pause, Leng Yu Yan teased, “Ah Ju, if the Prince sees that you can walk and wants to take you back, what will we do then?”
“Ah Yan, you well know my heart belongs only to your Elder Brother, yet you dare to tease so!”
Ye Jiu reached out to tickle Leng Yu Yan, who was ticklish, and she swiftly ran away.
Ye Jiu chased after her…
Suddenly they both stopped, looked at each other, and then burst out laughing.
“I told you there was nothing wrong with your legs, look at you run! Why would you still need physical rehabilitation?” Leng Yu Yan pointed to her leg, “Co on, continue chasing , and then I’ll put in a good word for you with Elder Brother.”
Ye Jiu clutched her wildly beating heart, attempting to run after Leng Yu Yan.
Leng Yu Yan opened the door and fled, with Ye Jiu following to catch her.
Unpreparedly, Ye Jiu saw Li Yuyue suddenly standing at the door, and her legs gave out, causing her to fall into his arms.
Li Yuyue thought Ye Jiu had collapsed from exhaustion while practicing walking, and so he reached out to steady her.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Jiu willingly fell into his embrace, waving a hand behind her back to motion for Leng Yu Yan to leave.
Leng Yu Yan, seeing this, covered her lips and laughed, “I just rembered I have plenty of unfinished tasks; Elder Brother, support Ah Ju well while she practices.”
Li Yuyue nodded, “Alright, don’t overexert yourself, and we’ll have dinner in half an hour.”
“Okay.” Leng Yu Yan left with a smile.
Ye Jiu wrapped her hand around Li Yuyue’s neck, “Princely Heir, my legs are numb. Ah Yan said I need a massage, can you help ?”
Li Yuyue glanced around skeptically—couldn’t her palace maids do it?
The maids wisely withdrew from sight.
Ye Jiu added, “Their hands are too gentle. Princely Heir, as a martial arts practitioner, could help stimulate the circulation in my legs.”
Hearing this, Li Yuyue sowhat awkwardly nodded and helped her onto the beauty couch.
Ye Jiu lifted her skirt, revealing her fair legs, “Thank you, Princely Heir!”
