On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 158 - : Climbing into the Lonely Bed

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Climbing into the Lonely Bed

“No need,” Ye Yiheng still left the room, continuing his routine stroll.

After being chilled by the cold wind on the deck, he walked toward the aft cabin.

Song Guo let out a quiet sigh, his mind full of confusion.

What was the conflicted prince truly thinking?

Leng Yu Yan, persuaded by Mrs. Zhao, ate a few more mouthfuls of rice and dishes.

Feeling incredibly dizzy, the food she had just ingested seemed inclined to surge back up, so she pushed the bowl and chopsticks away.

...

Seeing this, Miao Zhu suggested, “Miss, let’s go outside for some fresh air.”

Leng Yu Yan nodded.

As soon as the maid and her mistress reached the deck, those two women began their mockery again.

“What good is beauty? She’s so delicate, she can’t even endure a boat ride.”

“That Lady Lai is said to be quite pretty too, but wasn’t she still sent back from her engagement? Now, everyone under heaven knows she’s the child of her mother’s affair.”

Leng Yu Yan was already feeling unwell, and now her complexion grew even paler upon hearing those words.

Miao Zhu’s fists clenched in anger, “Gossiping shrews, wagging tongues!”

One woman chuckled scornfully, “Humph, we weren’t even talking about you, why are you angry?”

The other mocked, “Exactly, and besides, this boat isn’t yours. We’re here, and we’ll say whatever we please!”

Ye Yiheng, just coming from the aft cabin and overhearing their words, darkened his expression, “Enough! Throw these two women overboard.”

Mo Chen immediately bowed, “As you command!”

He then strode forward, grabbed one woman with each hand, and moved to throw them off the ship.

The women shouted, “On what grounds, on what grounds do you throw us off the boat?”

Mo Chen replied with a cold voice, “Because this ship belongs to this young lady!”

On hearing this voice, Leng Yu Yan abruptly opened her eyes and then quickly turned around, her gaze falling upon the shadowy figure standing in the cabin.

Tall and handsome, with an imposing figure.

Who else could it be but him?

The two women immediately wilted, “Don’t throw us into the water, there’s a small pier ahead, just drop us there.”

Mo Chen looked to his master, asking, “My lord?”

Ye Yiheng gave a noncommittal hum in response.

After sailing for a moment, Mo Chen once again picked up the two women and threw them overboard.

Splash, splash, two sounds rang out.

The women landed in the water, fortunately near the pier. They clung to the stone slabs of the dock, struggling to climb ashore.

Leng Yu Yan felt severely dizzy yet still managed to bow to the shadowy figure of Ye Yiheng, “I’ve seen Your Highness. The humble girl was unaware this ship was Your Highness’s…”

If she had known, she certainly would not have boarded.

But now, on the journey to Jiangzhou, there were hardly any other ships.

Watching the two women who were thrown off, their clothes thoroughly soaked, shivering in the night breeze.

If she were to act petulantly and disembark, given his personality, it is probable that he would have thrown her over as well.

At that point, she could only shiver in her wet clothes on the small pier.

If the water rose any higher, the consequences…

Upon that thought, she decided there was no need for her to act petulantly to disembark.

The cool night breeze brushed her long hair, and Ye Yiheng distinctly smelled the fragrance from her body. Only when he heard her voice did he deeply realize her presence on the ship.

The fingers behind his back moved slightly, and he softly acknowledged with a “hmm” before turning and entering the cabin.

Seeing this, Leng Yu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

So he, too, was unwilling to see her. Well, that was just as well.

On the small pier, the two disheveled women shook and muttered the same question to themselves, “What are we going to do now?”

It was already dark, and the boats to Jiangzhou were gone. Would they have to spend the night here?

But they couldn’t understand for the life of them, how the boat suddenly became that beautiful girl’s property?

—

Late at night.

Ye Yiheng seemed to ask casually, “Is she resting well?”

Song Guo respectfully replied, “She hasn’t returned to her room and has been on the deck the whole time. It seems she is severely seasick.”

At that, Ye Yiheng’s handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly.

After a long while, she finally said, “Tell them to slow the boat down a bit.”

Song Guo happily responded, “Yes, Your Highness.”

Leng Yu Yan stood in the cold wind for quite a while, noticing that Mrs. Zhao and Miao Zhu beside her were yawning incessantly, and she said, “You two should go and rest first.”

“Miss, your maid will stay with you.”

“No need, I’m feeling much better now.”

She didn’t know whether she had acclimated or if it was the cold wind, but at that moment, her seasickness had subsided significantly.

Mrs. Zhao and Miao Zhu repeatedly told her to call for them if she needed anything, and only after seeing her agreement did they head to their room, yawning.

Leng Yu Yan stood for another quarter hour, feeling a bit chilly, and then she also entered the cabin.

The ship was very large; the front of the cabin was done up like a dining hall, and as she moved further in, rooms lined up on both sides.

She only remembered that her room was at the very end, so she kept walking inward.

When she reached the door and pushed it open, she found it pitch dark inside.

There had been lit candles when she had left earlier; how could they be extinguished now?

Could it be that someone on the ship, in an effort to save, had helped to put them out?

Skeptical, Leng Yu Yan walked directly to the bedside, guided by the dim light in the corridor.

She thought to take advantage of her sleepiness and go straight to bed, avoiding any increase in seasickness that might disturb her sleep.

With that in mind, Leng Yu Yan sat on the edge of the bed, lifted the covers, and lay down.

As soon as she lay down and turned over, her hand seemed to land on someone.

Was Miao Zhu, this girl, so worried about her that she came to keep her company in bed?

Leng Yu Yan reached for “her” waist and tried to pinch, but couldn’t get a grip.

Miao Zhu’s soft flesh around her belly was usually so easy to pinch; what was going on today?

Ye Yiheng didn’t dare to move, the scent beside him telling him that the person was her.

This woman must have walked into the wrong room.

A mistake was a mistake, but why was she touching his waist?

And her little hand was not staying still – not only did she touch, but she also pinched!

This tension instantly stiffened his spine…

He was just about to fall asleep when suddenly a hand reached out to his waist, and all his sleepiness fled.

Leng Yu Yan pinched again on “her” waist.

This was wrong!

It felt hard and muscled, very strong and powerful.

Just then, a cold and clear voice sounded: “Have you had your fill of touching?”

She smelled a cool and refreshing breath on her nose, and his cold questioning filled her ears, making Leng Yu Yan jump up.

“Your Highness, I entered the wrong room by mistake.”

She tried to get out of bed quickly, but hit something in the dark and a clattering sound ensued.

“Do you want everyone to come and see that you’ve climbed into my bed?”

His voice was cool yet teasing.

“No, no, I really got it wrong.”

Leng Yu Yan stood by the bed, completely daunted to move further.

Due to seasickness, she had stumbled into his room in a daze.

Ye Yiheng took out a flint and fumbled to light the lamp by the bed.

Only then did Leng Yu Yan see him clearly as he sat up in bed; there was no eye veil in front of his eyes, and his pupils seemed paler than before.

At that moment, Song Guo’s voice came from outside the door: “Your Highness, is everything alright?”

Ye Yiheng cleared his throat: “It’s nothing.”

“But I distinctly heard a noise; is it possible there’s an assassin?”

The voice was Mo Chen’s.

If they found out she was in his room in the dead of night, and that she had come on her own…

She wouldn’t be able to explain herself even if she had a mouth all over her body.

Suddenly, Ye Yiheng got out of bed and accurately grasped her wrist, then he lowered his head and whispered into her ear: “If you don’t want others to know how you’ve offered your pillow, get under the covers and hide.”

What did he mean by offering her pillow?

Leng Yu Yan, with no time to argue, quickly hid under the covers.

Soon after, he too got back into bed.
