On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 142 - What Are You Afraid Of

Chapter 142: Chapter 142 What Are You Afraid Of

Leng Yu Yan sighed, “I’ve only recently rid my body of the poison and haven’t fully recovered my skills yet, and that’s why he got the upper hand. Once I’ve regained my strength, I’m determined to have a good fight with him. If I win, we’ll leave!”

Is he a dog?

Always biting at the neck!

When Ye Yiheng returned to his bedroom, the first thing he did was to send the palace maids and the other eunuchs away, leaving only Song Guo and Mo Chen.

“How do you make a girl happy?” he asked.

“Is Your Highness referring to the Crown Princess Consort?” Song Guo and Mo Chen asked in unison, quite in sync.

...

Ye Yiheng didn’t hide it from them and nodded.

Mo Chen pondered for a moment before saying, “Cater to her preferences!”

Song Guo quickly nodded in agreement, “Though I am but a eunuch, I also know that to please a young lady one must cater to her preferences.”

“It’s that simple!”

Ye Yiheng’s brow relaxed as he turned and headed for the treasury.

After circling around the treasury without finding what he wanted, he asked Song Guo, who was following behind, “Where did you put the tribute sent by Nandian Country last time?”

“Is Your Highness talking about that box of pearls?”

“Exactly.”

“I know where it is.” As he spoke, Song Guo took a wooden box out of a brocade box, “This one!”

Ye Yiheng opened it for a quick look, “Right! You take this to Tingfeng Garden.”

She had said before that she liked gold and silver treasures; this should count as catering to her preferences.

Trying to contain his amusement, Song Guo said, “Alright, I’ll go immediately!”

By the time Song Guo arrived at Tingfeng Garden with the wooden box, Miao Zhu had just finished applying medicine to the bite mark on the back of Leng Yu Yan’s neck.

Earlier, after hearing her young lady’s account of being bitten, Miao Zhu had cried a spell.

Now seeing Song Guo arrive, she said somewhat irritably, “What is Eunuch Song Guo doing here? I think Eunuch Song Guo should buy a few meaty bones for His Highness so that he can chew on them instead of always biting people!”

Unable to resist a chuckle, Song Guo replied, “Miss Miao Zhu really has a sense of humor; these words are only suitable for joking about here. If His Highness heard you, be careful of losing your head!”

Towards the end, Song Guo’s smile faded.

Miao Zhu snorted, her mouth moving silently, obviously still cursing someone.

Song Guo turned around, his smile returning as he placed the wooden box beneath Leng Yu Yan’s gaze, “Crown Princess Consort, this is sent by order of His Highness.”

He opened the wooden box while speaking.

Leng Yu Yan glanced at it, a full case of pearls, each uniform in size and shape, round and lustrous. In terms of diameter, each pearl was almost two centimeters.

Pearls of this size, even just one, could be worth a fortune!

Ye Yiheng was certainly generous.

Wearing such pearls as jewelry was already rare enough. More importantly, grinding them into powder and sprinkling it on wounds had excellent effects for beauty and scar removal.

He had bitten her, and now he sent pearls for scar removal – that indeed matched the symptom.

So, she reached out and accepted them.

Being bitten and subsequently receiving a box of rare and exquisite pearls felt like a strange transaction.

Seeing that she accepted them, Song Guo left with a smile.

He didn’t stop until he had reported back to Ye Yiheng, “Your Highness, the Crown Princess Consort has accepted it.”

Hearing this, Ye Yiheng felt a significant leap in his heart.

Lai Manting was sent back to the Leng Residence by people dispatched by Prince Liang.

Seeing the nail marks on Lai Manting’s face, Mrs. Feng almost fainted.

Madam Lai was shaking with anger, “Don’t just stand there, go find a doctor right away!”

While waiting for the doctor to arrive, Lai Manting carefully recounted everything that had happened in the East Suburb.

Mrs. Feng exclaimed in anger, “Man Ting, how could you be so impatient? That little girl has some skill; you’ve just…”

“Mother, I hid behind the rockery, hoping to catch her off guard. As for her skills – mere child’s play. I didn’t expect her to turn around and scratch my face!” Lai Manting said, but her eyes dared not meet her own reflection in the mirror.

Just then, Leng Zongfa arrived. Seeing Lai Manting’s face, he said angrily, “Can this still be healed, does Prince Liang still want you?”

If Prince Liang no longer wanted Man Ting, how would he use his remaining daughters to their advantage?

Only now did Lai Manting dare to look at herself in the mirror. Upon seeing the horrific scratches, she burst into tears.

Mrs. Feng said, “Why would Prince Liang not want her? He just sent someone to bring Man Ting back and instructed us to take good care of her.”

Leng Zongfa closely examined the deep scratches on his third daughter’s face, frowning in concern, fearing it would be difficult to heal.

Madam Lai stomped her cane violently. Was it time to reveal that incident from years past?

But once that incident was revealed, the death of Leng Yu Yan’s mother, Mrs. Zhang, and the culpability associated would be exposed.

They needed a plan to absolve themselves of blame while managing to bring to light the events of the past.

Every time she thought of Leng Yu Yan dressed as a man, closely resembling that person, Madam Lai’s eyes reddened with rage, her face wrinkling with anger.

In the afternoon, Jian Lecheng brought news from the Ministry of Justice to the Eastern Palace.

After telling Ye Yiheng about the Xu Family’s verdict, Jian Lecheng worriedly said, “Your Highness, I’ve heard that your cold disease has been flaring up frequently lately, should we make a personal visit to Linqing Pavilion?”

The two men took a walk along the lake.

They encountered Leng Yu Yan halfway.

Catching sight of her in women’s attire without a veil, Jian Lecheng was momentarily stunned, his steps halting.

Stunningly beautiful, this woman truly deserved the title of a beauty that would bring nations to their knees!

Feeling the movement from the person beside him, Ye Yiheng slightly frowned and extended his hand to Leng Yu Yan, “Crown Princess Consort, support me.”

Leng Yu Yan pursed her lips and slowly approached, whispering, “Your Highness, I ground one of the pearls you gave me into powder and sprinkled it on the wound; it actually feels quite comfortable.”

In truth, she hadn’t touched the pearl. She spoke thus only to see a certain someone’s reaction.

After all, such large pearls were extremely precious.

Ye Yiheng gave a slight cough, “If you like it, grinding people’s eye sockets into powder wouldn’t be too bad either.”

Hearing this, Jian Lecheng hurriedly averted his gaze.

Only then did he realize belatedly that the Crown Prince had seen through his ruse today.

His heart chilled, he said, “Your Highness, why has Ruofeng not returned yet?”

Ye Yiheng ignored him, continuing to walk along the lake with his hand on Leng Yu Yan’s arm, “If pearls are useful, I’ll find some more.”

“No need, I didn’t touch the pearls, the scar removal ointment from before worked just fine.” Pausing, Leng Yu Yan continued, “I’ve come now to inform Your Highness that in the coming days, I might return to the Eastern Palace a bit later.”

Something as important as one’s own face would surely prompt Lai Manting seek treatment.

Back then, when she had spots on her face, she had consumed many meals and snacks sent by Lai Manting. At that time, Lai Manting had comforted her, saying to eat more and that her mother’s spirit in heaven would also be comforted.

Now, it was time for her to make her move!

Ye Yiheng gave a slight nod, “It’s allowed.”

Right then, Jian Lecheng leaned in, “Your Highness, should we make a personal visit to Linqing Pavilion? Ruofeng has been there so long and still can’t invite the Divine Doctor out; it seems there’s something fishy about Linqing Pavilion.”

“With Ruofeng there, working with us from the inside and out, we could directly flatten Linqing Pavilion and see if they hand over the Divine Doctor. If the Divine Doctor cannot heal, then we will put a knife to his throat. That way, Your Highness’s eye and cold diseases can be treated.”

Hearing these words, Leng Yu Yan couldn’t help but shiver.

Ye Yiheng noticed and asked, “Crown Princess Consort, are you afraid of something?”
