On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness Chapter 888 - Capítulo 888: 888: Reaching the Pinnacle

Capítulo 888: Chapter 888: Reaching the Pinnacle

He gently patted Princess Duan’s arm and said to Ye Zhenyu and Ye Zhengmo, “Fourth Brother, Seventh Brother, today’s situation has gone too far, let’s stop!”

Ye Zhengmo said, “What is Fifth Brother talking about? All three won in the room have the surna Leng, and they’re dealing with Leng family matters right now, so let’s not interfere.”

The implication was that if Ye Zhenduan dared to intervene, he and his wife would also have to be accountable here.

At that mont, Lai Manting and Li Lu simultaneously raised their hairpins and stabbed towards Leng Yu Yan.

Knowing Leng Yu Yan’s skills were quite good, Ye Zhengmo pushed her from behind while she was unprepared.

As she saw her body about to be pierced by Lai Manting and Li Lu’s hairpins, Leng Yu Yan flipped backward and then spun around. Two golden hairpins slashed across Lai Manting and Li Lu’s limbs with lightning speed.

As the golden light swept over them, Lai Manting and Li Lu were montarily stunned, then raised their hands to look at their own hands and feet.

Their skin had no scratches at all, yet in the next instant, they both collapsed to the ground.

The people in the room looked at Leng Yu Yan in shock.

Leng Yu Yan tilted her head slightly and smiled, “The hairpins were painstakingly crafted, with grooves to let blood flow. But I can’t stand gore, so I just severed your tendons to avoid staining my hairpins.”

As she finished speaking, she replaced the hairpin back in her hair.

To sever tendons through the skin indicates her profound inner strength.

Even Leng Yu Yan was surprised, realizing her power was now restored to ninety percent.

Seeing Lai Manting and Li Lu can’t match Leng Yu Yan, Ye Zhengmo feigned a concern, “Apologies to Sixth Sister-in-law, these two won should be executed imdiately!”

Li Lu looked at Ye Zhengmo in disbelief, “You, you promised to help restore Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion…”

Before Li Lu finished her sentence, Ye Zhengmo kicked her chin, “You wench!”

Leng Yu Yan raised an eyebrow and said directly, “It was you, Prince Qi, who pushed from behind. You show one face in public and another in private; quite the actor you are.”

Seeing Li Lu lost consciousness, Lai Manting, fearing the sa fate, pleaded with Ye Zhenyu, “My lord, I’ve done so much for you, please kill Leng Yu Yan!”

Ye Zhenyu knew that if he didn’t follow Lai Manting’s advice, today’s setup, which he had orchestrated, would be exposed by her.

And at this mont, there were guards from Prince Qi’s Mansion outside the room, and his other brothers inside were standing by. Even if Leng Yu Yan was skilled, she was no match for him and Ye Zhengmo together.

As for Ye Yiheng who had been sleeping on the bed, he was of no concern.

In truth, at this point, he and Ye Zhengmo had no path back.

Having co this far, Ye Zhenyu signaled Ye Zhengmo, “Seventh Brother!”

Ye Zhengmo understood, t his gaze, and the two simultaneously launched a fierce attack at Ye Yiheng on the bed.

Two powerful strikes hit forth, and Ye Yiheng suddenly opened his eyes, channeling inner strength to his palm, he waved it.

Before Ye Zhenyu and Ye Zhengmo could hit Ye Yiheng’s face, they were hit by the force of his palm and fell to the ground.

They were bewildered by Ye Yiheng’s skills.

Not only them, but everyone present was also frozen in their place.

Contrary to rumors that depicted the Crown Prince as weak and unskilled, his martial skill was unbelievably high.

“I refuse to believe this!”

Ye Zhengmo, his eyes flaring with rage, exited the room, snatched a guard’s sword, and lunged at Ye Yiheng’s brow.

Leng Yu Yan swiftly drew her soft sword from her waist, rotating her wrist, and the soft sword in her hand, like a spiritual snake, struck directly at the sword in Ye Zhengmo’s hand.

In the blink of an eye, the soft sword entangled around the tip of the blade.

“Break!”

Leng Yu Yan shouted fiercely, releasing a chilling aura, and the sword in Ye Zhengmo’s hand snapped in response.

Ye Yiheng smiled and clapped, “The Crown Princess Consort’s skills have improved quite a bit!”

Taking advantage of the chaos, Ye Zhenyu left the room, grabbed a crossbow from a guard’s hand, and aid it directly at Ye Yiheng’s chest.

“Let’s see if you’re faster, or if my crossbow is faster?”

With those words, the crossbow fired.

Ye Yiheng moved like a specter, and only saw his silhouette flash by.

When they could see clearly, Ye Yiheng had already caught the arrow with one hand and disabled the crossbow from Ye Zhenyu’s hand with the other.

“Everyone, attack, attack!” Ye Zhengmo shouted.

Ye Zhenxian and the others all huddled in the corners.

Only now did they understand that the Crown Prince had always hidden his true strength, and the Crown Princess Consort was also highly skilled.

Even under normal circumstances, they, the princes, were no match for Leng Yu Yan, much less Ye Yiheng.

Though there were guards outside, the Crown Prince couple’s skills would clearly overwhelm these guards in less than a quarter of an hour.

Ye Zhenyu and Ye Zhengmo’s actions today amounted to attempting regicide of the Crown Prince!

Even if Ye Yiheng wouldn’t remain Crown Prince in the future, he currently held the title, and such audacity from Ye Zhenyu and Ye Zhengmo ant they would never touch the throne.

Seeing the situation change, Ye Zhenduan earnestly advised, “Fourth Brother, Seventh Brother, let’s stop, please stop!”

Ye Yongwang added, “There must be so misunderstanding today, Fourth Brother, Seventh Brother, quickly apologize to Sixth Brother and Sixth Sister-in-law!”

Even Ye Zhenxian chid in, “We’re all brothers, we haven’t even had enough to drink, why the drunken madness?”

Ye Yiheng said coldly, “There’s no drunken madness here, the wine today was strong, and the Knockout Drug was placed in the dishes for and the Crown Princess Consort. Today’s trap was set for , Ye Zhenyu, Ye Zhengmo, do you plead guilty?”

Hearing this, Ye Zhenyu and Ye Zhengmo each raised a palm and lifted a fist to attack Ye Yiheng again.

anwhile, dozens of guards also attacked the Crown Prince couple simultaneously.

The scene beca chaotic, with the sounds of fighting erupting everywhere.

Several princesses, including the concubines and the won from Prince Qi’s Mansion watching the commotion, all huddled in the corners, trembling in fear.

Ruofeng, Liu Yun, and Yin Shuang led the Eastern Palace Dark Guards, descending from midair.

The five main servants of the Eastern Palace took less than half a quarter of an hour to subdue Ye Zhenyu, Ye Zhengmo, and dozens of guards.

—

The matter was so significant it reached the Emperor.

Everyone who attended Prince Qi’s Mansion’s banquet today was brought into Xiande Hall.

As for Lai Manting, Li Lu, and the involved guards, they were all detained in the Capital Mayor Mansion.

Grand Doctor Zeng cupped his hands, “Emperor, the wine at the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort’s seats showed no abnormality, but the dishes were spiked with the Knockout Drug. The effect of the Knockout Drug and strong wine will cause unconsciousness.”

After understanding the events, the Emperor sternly asked, “Fourth and Seventh, do you plead guilty?”

Due to the large number of people going back and forth during the incident and with other princes present in the guest courtyard, Ye Zhenyu and Ye Zhengmo did not deny today’s circumstances, though they felt a defense was necessary.

Ye Zhenyu said, “Father Emperor, Lai Manting changed her face to infiltrate beside , it must have been to ruin my relationship with the Crown Prince.”

Ye Zhengmo also said, “Father Emperor, at the ti of the incident, indeed, Lai Manting and Li Lu both attempted to stab the Crown Princess Consort. I have reason to believe that it was Li Lu who instructed the servants to put the Knockout Drug in the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort’s dishes.”

At the very least, Lai Manting did not reveal the incident of being instigated today to seduce the Crown Prince.

Thus, Ye Zhenyu and Ye Zhengmo shifted all the bla onto Lai Manting and Li Lu.

The Emperor could see through the facade; how could two won stir such a storm?

Unless Ye Zhenyu and Ye Zhengmo had planned together from the start.

Thinking of this, the Emperor was heartbroken, as the cri of regicide is severe and punishable by death.

However, losing two sons at once, with the Crown Prince not favored by him, the Emperor was reluctant to deal justly with the matter.
