On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness Chapter 504: 504: You Smell So Good

Chapter 504: Chapter 504: You Sll So Good

She took a deep breath, “There’s no need to share the bath, there’s plenty of hot water. Your Highness can go ahead and wash first.”

Her voice was as faint as a mosquito.

Where had things gone wrong? It was supposed to be her teasing him; how had it turned around on her?

Sensing the shyness in her tone, Ye Yiheng did not continue to tease her, but instead groped his way to the edge of the bathtub.

“His Highness can manage on his own, Yanyan can step out.”

Leng Yu Yan’s hand, which had been reaching out halfway, drew back, “Can you truly manage?”

“I truly can,” he nodded affirmingly, paused slightly, and then said, “If you’re not at ease, no need to hide behind the screen; just sit directly by the tub.”

After the wedding, she would see him eventually; seeing sooner or later made no difference.

Besides, he was in good control now even if she did see him, what could she possibly discern?

Upon hearing this, Leng Yu Yan hurriedly left the bathroom.

Only after closing the bathroom door did she dare to call out to him, “If you need help, just shout for .”

“Alright.”

A slightly cheerful voice ca from inside.

Leng Yu Yan let out a long sigh of relief; he must be shy too, right?

Knowing she was no longer watching him, his tone had lightened.

It was still unclear whether his condition was congenital or caused by poisoning, but in any case, he was a pitiable man.

Given that, after the wedding, she would have to treat him better, not letting him feel that he owed her sothing because of his physical impairnt.

Fifteen minutes later, the bathroom door opened.

Hearing the sound, Leng Yu Yan hurried over to help him, “Did your wash go smoothly, Your Highness?”

There was a fragrance of bathing on the man, particularly pleasant, prompting Leng Yu Yan to take a deep breath.

Ye Yiheng’s ears twitched, and he spoke coolly, “What are you doing?”

Suddenly, Leng Yu Yan’s face flushed, and she hemd and hawed for a long ti, unable to utter a single word.

Ye Yiheng chuckled deeply, “My hearing is quite good, especially since I lost my sight. The sound of your breath just now is still echoing in my ears.”

Saying it so directly, was she not embarrassed?

Suddenly realizing that her blush was invisible to him at that mont, Leng Yu Yan spoke up, “Your Highness slls very nice.”

“It’s all from the soaps in your bathroom.”

Ye Yiheng mused internally, questioning whether he really slled that good.

But why did it seem like her scent was even more desirable?

Her scent was so enticing he wanted to take a bite at any mont.

Leng Yu Yan pursed her lips and helped him to the side of the bed, “Your Highness, please rest on the bed first. I’m going to wash up.”

Ye Yiheng’s hand, still raised mid-air, felt the disappearance of the small hand that had been helping him. The corner of his lips curled; the girl had run off so quickly, he had missed the chance for a bite.

Let it be, he would spare her tonight.

—

The next morning, Ye Yiheng returned to the Eastern Palace. Leng Yu Yan ordered Miao Zhu to pack her luggage and went to the study to write a letter.

Upon hearing that the Pavilion Master was going to search for herbs, Spring, Sumr, Autumn, and Winter ca to Leng Yu Yan, expressing their wishes to accompany her.

Chun Liu said, “Commandery Princess, we haven’t served by your side for a long ti. We cannot shirk our responsibility in this matter of searching for herbs!”

Leng Yu Yan set aside her writing brush and folded the paper, placing it into the envelope.

“Although you four recognize many herbs, the Crown Prince’s illness is complex, and I need to take charge of the herb gathering personally. Besides, I have another task for you, not to leave you idle.”

Hearing the Pavilion Master speak thus, Dong Yan replied with composure, “We will follow the Commandery Princess’ orders!”

“Ninth Princess and Dong Yan, you two are familiar with the capital city, so stay in the capital. Continue the investigation concerning Old Lady Lai; it’s best to find out if she has any connection with the plot against my mother and Father King seventeen years ago,” Leng Yu Yan said seriously, “and wait for our return. I’ll leave Xiaoshan with you to assist at any ti.”

Xia Tao asked anxiously, “What about us, Commandery Princess?”

Leng Yu Yan looked at Chun Liu and Xia Tao, then handed them an envelope, “You two deliver this letter to the Zhang Family in Jiangzhou.”

Chun Liu accepted the envelope, “Is this letter extrely important, Commandery Princess?”

“You may also look at it. In the letter, I only ntioned Mrs. Feng’s poisoning of my mother. Deliver this letter to my grandmother and uncle, and your task will be complete. After that, you can head straight back to Linqing Pavilion from Jiangzhou; I will certainly visit Linqing Pavilion once I’ve gathered the herbs.”

Xia Tao, quick of mouth and frank, asked, “If the Commandery Princess can’t find the desired herbs, how long do Chun Liu and I need to wait at Linqing Pavilion? Or should we co back to the capital after a certain ti?”

Upon hearing this question, Leng Yu Yan was silent for a mont before responding, “Recently, there have been many visitors to Linqing Pavilion. First, deal with the affairs there. If too much ti passes and I haven’t returned, there will surely be a letter for you.”

Xia Tao nodded in understanding, “This maid understands!”

Having already packed her bags, Miao Zhu arrived at the study, “Is the Commandery Princess taking this maid along?”

The bags she had just packed were indeed for herself and the Commandery Princess. If she were not to be taken along by the Commandery Princess, it would seem she was particularly useless.

Before Leng Yu Yan could answer, Miao Zhu saw the envious glances from Spring, Sumr, Autumn, and Winter.

With one look at these glances, Miao Zhu understood.

The Commandery Princess was still taking her on the trip!

She hugged Leng Yu Yan’s arm tightly, “Good Commandery Princess, this maid knew you would take !”

Xia Tao’s eyes rolled, “It’s not like you can’t perform martial arts, so what other tasks could the Commandery Princess give you?”

Miao Zhu stuck out her tongue at her, “Taking care of the Commandery Princess is enough!”

“Stop the prattle. This trip will be short, and I will strive to return to the capital as soon as possible,” Leng Yu Yan turned around and addressed Qiubo Dongyan, “The Ninth Princess has been staying at our Prince Mansion lately. If soone cos looking for trouble, you know when to fight and when to chase them away. Make sure you protect the Ninth Princess well.”

Qiubo asked in a low voice, “Why hasn’t the Ninth Princess returned to the Imperial Palace for so long?”

“Firstly, she’s fond of my elder brother and wishes she could stick to him twenty-four hours a day. Secondly, she has a poor relationship with the Tenth Princess, who has been staying in the Imperial Palace since her return. Ah Ju avoids her whenever possible.”

After explaining, Leng Yu Yan began to organize the books she would need for the journey.

In the Eastern Palace at this mont.

Ye Yiheng sat in a chair, his hand resting against his temple.

A line of people stood beneath him.

Ling Lang bowed and asked, “If Your Highness leaves the capital and word spreads, any manner of trouble could arise on the road.”

“I plan to bring fewer people and will avoid notice as much as possible before leaving the capital,” Ye Yiheng said indifferently, “The Commandery Princess is only taking Miao Zhu, and I’ll just take Song Guo.”

With four people on the road, even if they need to disguise their identities, it would be easier.

Mo Chen stepped forward, offering a salute, “Your subordinate believes this is unwise. With the sudden onset of Your Highness’s eye illness, Miao Zhu and Song Guo have no fighting skills. How can they protect the safety of Your Highness and the Commandery Princess?”

Liu Yun also stepped forward with a salute, “Let and Yin Shuang accompany you, this way we can better protect the Commandery Princess and Your Highness!”

Upon hearing this, Mo Chen furrowed his brows, “Liu Yun, why are you stealing my line?”

Yin Shuang quickly stepped forward, “Your Highness, Liu Yun and I are won, which would make it more convenient to guard the Commandery Princess on the road.”

Ruofeng interjected anxiously, “The two of you are skilled, but compared to Mo Chen and , you’re still lacking. Therefore, it would be better for the two of us to accompany Your Highness and the Commandery Princess on their journey!”

Liu Yun said, “We should go!”

Mo Chen remarked, “It’s more suitable for us to go!”

Yin Shuang added, “We are minutely attentive!”

Ruofeng asserted, “Our martial arts are superior!”
