On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness Chapter 976: Intensified Ambitions

Ms. He was utterly shocked, her expression serious: "What are you planning?"

Lai Jiajia pursed her lips and lowered her voice: "Mother, think about it, which emperor doesn’t have a harem?"

Ms. He furrowed her brows tightly: "Jiajia, you must not have such thoughts!"

Lai Jiajia shook her head: "Originally, I shouldn’t have these thoughts either." She stood up, "As life gets better, I’ve started having such ideas."

"Mother, do you think the Crown Princess Consort’s sister will help ? Probably not. But we have a sisterly bond, even if she won’t help , she won’t do anything against , right?"

Ms. He walked up to her daughter, squeezing her shoulders, trying to shake so sense into her: "Jiajia, have you forgotten about the matter with Lady Mi?"

"How could I forget? At that ti, the Ninth Princess even asked , asking if I would ever do anything to wrong the Crown Princess Consort. Of course, I said I wouldn’t."

"But, mother, you also know that Mi Xini is doing quite well now."

"So Leng Yu Yan is just a very soft-hearted person."

"For a soft-hearted person, all it takes is for to show so weakness, and I can control her."

Lai Jiajia opened her hands and clenched them tightly.

The conversation between the mother and daughter was overheard by a figure on the rooftop, who disappeared into the night.

This person returned to the Eastern Palace.

Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan were having dinner.

An Shiba clasped his fist: "Reporting to Your Highnesses, I heard so unsettling news at Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion."

An Shiba was the teacher that Ye Yiheng had sent to train Lai Xuan in martial arts.

"What is it?" Song Guo stepped forward, "This happens to be the hour when Their Highnesses are dining, what could be so important?"

An Shiba affird: "It is indeed important!"

Ye Yiheng said in a calm voice: "If that’s the case, then go ahead and speak."

An Shiba said: "The newly appointed Marquis Ningyuan and his wife have long known that the Crown Princess Consort is not Leng Zongfa’s biological daughter. Back then, they treated the Crown Princess Consort well in hopes that one day when the Crown Princess Consort was found by Prince Zhenbei, she would rember their kindness. They intended to use this to oppose Leng Zongfa and suppress him."

"Lai Zonghui and Ms. He initially treated the Crown Princess Consort’s mother well only because the Crown Princess Consort’s mother was from the wealthy Zhang Family, which could support their family’s expenses."

"Lai Jiajia approached the Crown Princess Consort at the beginning of last year with an ulterior motive."

"In the academy, she was not receiving attention and was often bullied. So, she wanted to find soone to step on, pretending to befriend the Crown Princess Consort."

"Out of all the people around the Crown Princess Consort, those in the second branch of Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion are the ones who have hidden their intentions the deepest!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yu Yan put down her chopsticks: "The ones who have hidden their intentions the deepest, what do you an?"

"Recall the night when Lai Zonghui and Lai Xuan t the Crown Princess Consort at the gates of Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion. The Crown Princess Consort was returning ho with General Lai Yi’s weapon at the ti. They were not there by coincidence; they were waiting there after hearing the news."

"Lai Zonghui has always wanted to replace Leng Zongfa, but unfortunately due to his lowly background, he never got the chance. He was not valued by Consort Xian and had no other options, so he pinned his hopes on the Crown Princess Consort."

"The Crown Princess Consort is kind-hearted, thinking that the second branch being cared for by her mother was because her mother thought they were worth caring for. Thus, the Crown Princess Consort ended up taking extra care of Lai Zonghui’s family."

"This is precisely why the Crown Princess Consort never suspected anything."

An Shiba bowed deeply: "To put it bluntly, Your Highness Crown Princess Consort, your good intentions are not fit to be spent on Lai Zonghui’s family. Among this family, only Lai Xuan is without ulterior motives, while the other three are all deceitful!"

"That is not a harsh statent." Leng Yu Yan laughed coldly, "I treated my uncle and aunt well indeed because my mother treated them well. I can’t bla anyone but myself for not being more vigilant and for not putting more thought into it. Now that I know, it’s not too late."

An Shiba spoke anxiously: "To my knowledge, Lai Zonghui has introduced nurous n to Lai Jiajia, but Lai Jiajia has been dissatisfied. That’s because she’s been waiting, waiting for the Crown Prince to ascend the throne, hoping to use her connection with the Crown Princess Consort to then beco close to the New Emperor."

Leng Yu Yan slamd the table in shock: "What?"

Ye Yiheng’s eyes narrowed coldly upon hearing this.

With his head lowered, An Shiba said, "What I have reported is the truth. Ms. He and Lai Jiajia had a secret conversation in the room, which I overheard, so I hurried back overnight."

Initially, he was also supposed to conduct a martial arts class for Lai Xuan that night.

Now, it seed unnecessary to go.

Leng Yu Yan no longer had any appetite after what she had heard.

The revelation felt as revolting as swallowing a fly.

The person she had always considered like a younger sister, whom she thought was simply a foodie, turned out to be so scheming.

Forming a close relationship first, developing a deep sisterly bond, thinking she cherished this relationship and wouldn’t act against her?

Well, she was wrong!

Ye Yiheng spoke coldly: "An Shiba, I entrust you with a task, handle it thoroughly overnight."

"I await your command."

"Kill Lai Jiajia."

An Shiba acknowledged: "As you command, Your Highness."

Leng Yu Yan spoke up: "Your Highness, simply killing Lai Jiajia, letting her go easily, wouldn’t that be too lenient?"

Ye Yiheng asked: "Yanyan, what do you want to do?"

"I healed her face, so I must destroy it." Leng Yu Yan said with a serene smile, "After that, you may command whover you wish to execute the deed."

Ye Yiheng indulged her smile: "As you wish."

--

The next morning, Leng Yu Yan ordered soone to go to Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion, saying she wanted to see them and invited their family to the Eastern Palace for a banquet.

Upon hearing the news, Lai Jiajia specifically dressed up.

Lai Xuan, seeing this, teased: "Why dress up so beautifully, sister? Is it for the Eastern Palace Guards to see?"

Lai Jiajia admired herself in the mirror, smiling: "Of all the n at the Eastern Palace, who do you think is the best?"

"My master is pretty good. If you don’t fancy the Young Master, you could consider my master."

Lai Jiajia glared at Lai Xuan in the mirror: "You really have a child’s mind, you understand nothing."

Lai Xuan joked: "You weren’t eyeing the Crown Prince, were you? At the academy, people often say the little sister-in-law often admires the brother-in-law."

After saying that, Lai Jiajia’s expression suddenly changed.

Lai Xuan, alard, said: "Sister, let tell you, the Crown Prince as a brother-in-law is not soone just anyone can admire!"

Lai Jiajia shook her head, choosing not to respond.

Lai Xuan couldn’t help but say: "Haven’t you heard about the Crown Prince’s thods, and how no other woman can get close to him? My master said so."

Lai Jiajia lowered her head with a slight laugh.

Her friendship with Leng Yu Yan was all for getting close to the Crown Prince.

These days, pretending to be naive was quite exhausting.

Everyone should pursue their own happiness, shouldn’t they?

To be honest, at the beginning of last year, she didn’t even fancy the Crown Prince, considering that rumors said he was blind, frail, and had hidden ailnts.

But Leng Yu Yan had tried him out for her.

The results exhibited that the Crown Prince was the most outstanding man in the world.

A normal girl would have these feelings.

With frequent contact with the Crown Prince couple, this idea only grew stronger.

Originally, she had thought of keeping this intention suppressed for a while longer.

Until the Crown Prince ascended the throne as Emperor.

But now, Leng Yu Yan went as far as to matchmake her with Jian Lecheng; Jian Lecheng even kissed her.

She no longer wished to wait!
