On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness Chapter 668: 668: Why Fond Of
Chapter 668: Chapter 668: Why Fond Of
Lai Jiajia and Luo ng’er gasped, their hands covering their mouths.
They had thought Leng Yu Yan wanted to see them, and that Mi Xini had rely arrived earlier than them, not expecting it to be about this.
Leng Yuqing laughed coldly, “How many tis have I said, when one sweats and bathes, naturally one has to disrobe. I want to ask you, how did you enter my bedroom?”
Mi Xini, who had been standing for too long, was now squatting with her legs beginning to tingle. She tried to feign a fragile and easily bullied deanor, and collapsed to the floor, her voice trembling, “I also said I went to the wrong courtyard.”
Leng Yu Yan picked up a clean peach, gently stroking it, her voice indifferent, “Which courtyard were you originally going to?”
Mi Xini had intended to enter the Second Young Master’s courtyard, and if discovered, she would claim to have gone to the wrong courtyard, intent on visiting the Commandery Princess’s courtyard. If asked why she was visiting the Commandery Princess’s courtyard, she would say she had left sothing behind.
But plans cannot keep up with changes; now with Leng Yu Yan present, how could she explain herself?
Leng Yu Yan smiled faintly, “There are three main courtyards in the mansion, Jifu Hall and Zhaohui Courtyard are solemn; you surely wouldn’t mistake them. As for Yeyu Garden, on the day my elder brother married the Princess, you, Jiajia, and ng’er visited the bridal room together, so you surely wouldn’t mistake that either.”
“As for my Yanyue Residence, you have visited many tis and surely couldn’t mistake that.”
“Now that I think about it, it could only be my second brother’s Jingning Village, my third brother’s Xingyi Residence, and my fourth brother’s Shenglin Pavilion that you could mistake.”
“But how could you mistake them? The nas of the courtyards were given by myself, nad after each of my brothers.”
“Unless you are illiterate, but you are a student of Xinya Academy, how could you be illiterate?”
“The only explanation then, is that you had preditated to appear in my second brother’s bedroom!” Leng Yu Yan set down the peach on the table beside her, “Mi Xini, what are your intentions?”
“I am a woman; would I sacrifice my own innocence for ulterior motives?” Mi Xini covered her mouth as she wept, “You are the Crown Princess Consort, noble of status, naturally, whatever you say is correct. Whatever a commoner like says is always wrong.”
Leng Yu Yan seed slightly impatient and turned to beckon Wei Hao, “Go call the gatekeeper here.”
Wei Hao obeyed and left.
After a short while, Wei Hao returned with the gatekeeper on duty today.
Leng Yu Yan pinched her slender fingers, pointing her chin at Mi Xini collapsed on the ground, and asked the gatekeeper, “I want to know how you let this woman into the mansion?”
The gatekeeper glanced at Mi Xini and bowed deeply, “Replying to the Crown Princess Consort, this person is Lady Mi, the biological sister of General Mi. Today she said she ca to fetch sothing for her brother, and I let her into the mansion without much thought.”
Leng Yu Yan stood up, her gaze turning to Mi Xinrong, “Did you ask her to co to Prince Zhenbei Mansion to fetch sothing?”
Mi Xinrong dared not et Leng Yu Yan’s gaze directly, stealing a glance before hurriedly lowering her eyes, “Replying to the Crown Princess Consort, I did not!”
Leng Yu Yan spoke in a gentle voice, “Mi Xinrong, you are now a commander of the Northern Garrison, serving under Prince Zhenbei Mansion, please keep your public and private matters distinct in the future!”
Mi Xinrong bowed, “Under the imnse grace of the Crown Princess Consort and Prince Zhenbei Mansion, I will surely keep my public and private matters distinct!”
Leng Yu Yan nodded and walked to Mi Xini’s side, slowly bending over, “Do you have anything else to say?”
“Even if I deliberately entered the Second Young Master’s courtyard, it’s true that he undressed ; I am not yet betrothed, shouldn’t he take responsibility?” Mi Xini said agitatedly, “At the ti, there were only the Second Young Master and I alone in the room. Whatever I say, you won’t believe because he is the second son of Prince Zhenbei, everyone trusts him. What about my innocence?”
“Pure?” Leng Yu Yan stood up abruptly and sneered, “Please be clear, my second brother was undressing in his own room when you saw him. According to your logic, are you responsible for my second brother’s purity?”
Mi Xini raised her head to et Leng Yu Yan’s gaze, suppressed the guilt in her heart, and choked out, “He is a man, and I am a woman; how can that be the sa? I am an innocent woman who saw him shirtless, so naturally he should take responsibility for .”
Leng Yu Yan’s voice was faint, “At the docks, porters often work bare-chested. If everyone thought as you do, would all the won who see them demand they take responsibility?”
“How can that be compared?” Mi Xini beca flustered, “Moreover, I don’t go to the docks.”
Leng Yu Yan didn’t want to beat around the bush anymore, “Mi Xini, I largely know what you’re thinking. You admire Gao Yuan but can’t have him. Now that Gao Yuan is working under my second brother, you want to create a situation with my second brother to make Gao Yuan jealous, right?”
Hearing this, Mi Xini could no longer suppress her guilt and had to lower her head as her tears flowed like a spring.
Taking a large stride forward, Gao Yuan knelt on one knee in front of Ye Yiheng, and clasped his fist, “Your Highness, I admire Eastern Palace Liu Yun. Please make a decision on my behalf!”
“Interesting,” Ye Yiheng’s indifferent countenance slightly moved, “Tell , why do you admire Liu Yun?”
Gao Yuan candidly answered, “Liu Yun is heroic and lively, speaks amusingly, and even bickers with . If I had to say when I started liking her, it would probably be when Your Highness went with the Prince Mansion to Beilan City, and Liu Yun caught up with us. I started liking her when I first mistook her for a man.”
Ye Yiheng nodded slightly, purposely saying, “There are already too few people close to , and yet you want to take another one away…”
In reality, the guards from the Dark Guard Bureau never considered Liu Yun and Yin Shuang as won, and now that soone is demanding Liu Yun, those monks surely don’t know how anxious they should be.
Rarely blushing, Gao Yuan confessed, “I am a soldier of the Northern Garrison, under command of Princess Beilan. Princess is now the Crown Princess Consort, and since the two households are one, it can’t be considered a departure.”
Ye Yiheng made a dismissive gesture: “You should discuss this matter with Liu Yun yourself.”
Overwheld with emotion, Gao Yuan bowed deeply, “Thank you, Your Highness!”
This scene caused Mi Xini to feel an acute pain in her heart, the pain spreading quickly to her limbs. Tears imdiately filled her cheeks.
Originally, she had hoped to climb to the position of Second Young Madam in the Prince Zhenbei Mansion, firstly as a social climb and secondly to upset Gao Yuan. After all, the wife of the Second Young Master does hold so sway over Gao Yuan.
But she had not expected Gao Yuan to reject her so decisively, rcilessly revealing the woman he admired.
Mi Xini’s thoughts shifted rapidly, and though this day’s actions did not hurt Gao Yuan, she decided to firmly grasp the Second Young Master.
Leng Yuqing of the Prince Zhenbei Mansion and Leng Yu Yan bore a resemblance. One could say that Lai Ran’s children are all quite handso.
Heir Lai was heroically handso and similarly, the Second Young Master lacked so of their Father King’s delicate beauty but had an added sense of gentle elegance.
Not far away, Leng Yuqing’s figure was tall and straight, his facial features picturesque, truly standing like a noble orchid and pine, smiling like the bright moon embracing the heart.
How had she ever fancied soone as plain as a martial artist like Gao Yuan?
Thinking of this, she cried out again.
Leng Yu Yan asked, “Is everything clear now, Mi Xini? What else do you intend to do?”
Mi Xini paced back and forth in her mind dozens of tis, finally resolved and said, “If I insists that the Second Young Master attempted indecency towards , and if things escalate to the Capital Mayor Mansion or even the Ministry of Justice, could the Second Young Master still smoothly command the elite soldiers of the Northern Garrison?”
