On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness Chapter 981: Don’t Overwork Yourself

Lai Ran muttered, "Leng Yuqing."

Leng Yu Yan interjected, "Father King, what do you have to say about Second Brother?"

"Your second brother might be a candidate," Lai Ran shook his head, "but when it cos to handling emotions..."

Leng Yu Yan’s expression turned solemn, "Is Father King dissatisfied with Luo ng’er?"

Lai Ran didn’t hold back in front of his daughter and son-in-law, directly saying, "That girl from the Luo Family, she’s honest, and her heart and eyes are all for your second brother. It’s just her parents are sowhat vulgar, which is what’s botherso."

Leng Yu Yan said with a smile, "Does Second Brother often et with Luo ng’er nowadays?"

"This, I am not clear about," Lai Ran said, "When you have ti, help Father King ask him about his attitude towards the Luo Family’s daughter."

Leng Yu Yan complied.

Lai Ran stood up and glanced at the dining table, "The Crown Prince, no matter how busy, must eat on ti."

Dragging his daughter along, dining so late was really unreasonable.

It pained him.

So he reached out and touched Leng Yu Yan’s hair, "Do not forget to eat because of duties in the future."

Leng Yu Yan’s cheeks flushed slightly, "Understood, Father King."

Lai Ran said, "Since the matter is explained, I need to enter the palace and report this to the Emperor."

Leng Yu Yan followed beside her father, seeing him off, "So, Father is saying this to the Crown Prince first."

Lai Ran laughed, "Of course, the son-in-law is one’s own."

Ye Yiheng also followed behind Lai Ran, "Thank you for making the trip, Father-in-law."

Lai Ran waved, "No need to see off, I’m leaving."

The couple obediently returned to the dining table.

When Lai Ran left the palace doors, Leng Yu Yan sullenly glared at Ye Yiheng, "It’s all because of you!"

Ye Yiheng replied with a clear, gentle smile, "What did I do?"

"What did you do? You ask knowingly."

They were having a late luncheon all because of his fuss.

Now pretending to be innocent.

She served him so food, feigning annoyance, "Has Your Highness eaten enough?"

Ye Yiheng responded lightly, "I could keep eating, if Yanyan serves so."

Leng Yu Yan placed more food directly into his mouth, "Hurry up and eat."

"Is Yanyan worried I have no strength?"

"Your Highness!"

"Call husband, and I won’t say anymore."

Leng Yu Yan pursed her lips and finally said, "Husband."

Lai Ran entered the Imperial Palace.

Inside the Imperial Study, he t the Emperor.

The Emperor already knew about Lai Ran going to the Eastern Palace before coming to the Imperial Palace.

After Lai Ran reported the matter, the Emperor directly asked, "What did the Crown Prince say about this matter?"

Lai Ran was startled, "The Emperor knows I went to the Eastern Palace first?"

"The Eastern Palace houses the Emperor’s legitimate son and daughter-in-law, how can I not care?"

Lai Ran also directly said, "The Crown Prince’s aning is for my second son to serve as the Minister of War."

The Emperor nodded, "Leng Yuqing is indeed a candidate." Saying this, he raised his voice, "It’s decided, Leng Yuqing."

Lai Ran said, "The Emperor decided so easily?"

Seed a bit hasty, not letting the Ministry of Personnel investigate a bit.

The Emperor said, "In due ti, the world will belong to the Crown Prince, and whoever he recomnds, naturally, I agree."

As he spoke, he raised his head and gestured towards Lai Ran.

"You say, we have a long-ti friendship since youth, and yet you didn’t co to the Imperial Palace first, but went to the Eastern Palace."

After all, he’s still the Emperor.

Even the Supre Emperor hasn’t taken the throne yet.

Lai Ran said solemnly, "The Crown Prince is busy with affairs, and is still having lunch at this mont, surely because he’s too concerned with the country and forgot about als. Having such a devoted Crown Prince, the Emperor should be proud."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor laughed heartily and instructed Eunuch Ma, "Go convey a ssage to the Eastern Palace, telling the Crown Prince not to overwork himself. No matter how busy, als and rest should not be forgotten."

Eunuch Ma respectfully complied and retreated to leave.

When he arrived at the Eastern Palace, Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan had just finished their lunch.

Hearing the Emperor’s edict, the two exchanged smiles.

Elsewhere, Lai Zonghui’s family was tidying up their belongings in the Marquis Mansion, imdiately kicked out.

The family of four found an inn to stay.

Lai Jiajia had injuries on her face and belly, serious injuries, and with their current status, they couldn’t find an Imperial Physician for treatnt.

So, Lai Zonghui could only seek so doctors.

The doctors diagnosed Lai Jiajia one after another, and the conclusions were consistent.

Her skin was ruined, affecting her appearance from now on.

As for the knife wound on her belly, it would affect childbirth in the future.

Upon hearing this, Lai Jiajia tightly grasped Ms. He’s hand, "Mother, quickly go ask Leng Yu Yan, she has a way to save your daughter."

Ms. He shook her head, tearfully, "Jiajia, you went too far today! We can pursue anything, but cannot contend with the Crown Princess Consort for the Crown Prince."

Lai Xuan stood at the door with a cold face, arms crossed, "It’s a blessing to be alive, let tell you, any woman who has tried to seduce the Crown Prince never ends well, mostly ending in death."

He paused and said, "Oh, there’s one exception, the Crown Prince’s cousin."

Lai Jiajia pressed her bandaged face with one hand and her belly with the other, "How do you know?"

Lai Xuan said, "My master ntioned it to ."

"Although the Crown Prince’s cousin didn’t die, likely due to familial ties, her outco wasn’t good either, the Crown Prince personally broke her hand."

"As for other won, they were either made into human skin lanterns or fed to dogs."

"Sister, you should take good care of yourself! Our family can’t endure more turmoil!"

Ms. He also urged, "Jiajia, your ambition is too great." She suddenly cried and laughed, "Now even with ambition, it’s useless."

At this point, Lai Zonghui rarely showed a vicious side, "After finally replacing Leng Zongfa, Jiajia, what you did was wrong, you shouldn’t have rushed. Could you have waited until Leng Yu Yan bears the Crown Prince’s heir, when there will naturally be a vacancy by the Crown Prince’s side, and then approach him, would it result in today’s situation?"

Lai Xuan was stunned, "Father?"

Lai Zonghui glared at his son and said to Lai Jiajia and Ms. He, "You’re just seeing things from a woman’s perspective, think about the current situation. They were newlyweds not long ago, how the Crown Prince married Leng Yu Yan, naturally the freshness is there. But given ti, as a man will tire of the old and favor the new, then seek an opportunity, Jiajia, how could you not have an opportunity then? Now, it’s too late to say anything."

"Why didn’t Father say earlier?" Lai Jiajia angrily retorted.

"Earlier? Wasn’t it good to calmly play the role of a sister? Leng Yu Yan would then lower her guard against you, providing you the opportunity to approach the Crown Prince. Now everything is too late." Lai Zonghui said anxiously, "In just one afternoon, where am I going to find you a husband? If not found, before dawn, people from the Eastern Palace will co to execute Lingchi on you."

Lai Jiajia struggled to sit up from the bed, "Father, let’s escape!"

Lai Zonghui sneered, "With the Crown Prince’s influence, do you think we can escape?"

If they attempt to flee, the family of four would face certain death.

Ms. He urgently said, "Husband, look for forr colleagues, see if their sons could marry Jiajia?"

Lai Zonghui shook his head, "Ti is short, not to ntion I’ve been demoted, have no title, who would dare marry Jiajia?"
