On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 172 - : Excuse to Get Close

Chapter 172 -172: Excuse to Get Close

Ye Yiheng swept into the room like flowing clouds and water, his voice coldly stating, “I came today to seek a doctor.”

“Seek a doctor?” Elder Mrs. Zhang’s heart skipped a beat.

Nannan had mentioned in her previous letter that she knew a bit about medical skills; could the Crown Prince be using this as a pretext to seek her out?

Yet, when the Crown Prince traveled, he surely brought the Imperial Physician with him. How could he use that as a pretext?

It was indeed a very clumsy excuse.

At this moment, Song Guo spoke up, “Elder Mrs. Zhang may not know this, but when Lady Yu Yan lived in the Eastern Palace, she had once treated His Highness’s eye ailment. Although there is no longer a marital engagement between His Highness and the lady, a doctor by nature, I believe Miss wouldn’t refuse to treat His Highness’s eyes.”

Elder Mrs. Zhang waved her hand and laughed, “My Nannan only knows a little, how could she treat His Highness?”

Ye Yiheng replied unhurriedly, “My eyes are somewhat uncomfortable today, so I specifically came to seek her.”

Song Guo added for clarification, “The Imperial Physician staying at the hostel specializes in water-borne and epidemic diseases and cannot treat His Highness’s eye condition.”

Having the conversation reach this point, Elder Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to send someone again to fetch Leng Yu Yan from the Qingyu Residence.

“Go and ask Lady Yu Yan to come.”

Elder Mrs. Zhang then turned and instructed her servants to serve tea to the Crown Prince and his party.

When the servant arrived at Qingyu Residence, he didn’t specify the reason but merely said, “Please come to the front courtyard quickly, Lady!”

Mrs. Zhao could only pull Leng Yu Yan up from bed, “Miss, Elder Mrs. Zhang has sent for you twice today; there must be some urgent matter.”

Leng Yu Yan, still drowsy, rubbed her eyes and yawned while stretching.

Miao Zhu, who had just brought warm water, was momentarily mesmerized upon witnessing this scene. Miss was so captivating, no wonder even the powerless Crown Prince attempted to take liberties with her repeatedly.

If it were someone normal, wouldn’t Miss be utterly vulnerable?

No wonder the dreams she had were such; probably the Crown Prince in reality was inadequate, whereas the one in her dreams was too much so.

At this thought, Miao Zhu shuddered, extremely relieved that the Crown Prince was inadequate; otherwise, Miss might have suffered misfortune yesterday.

Miao Zhu gathered her thoughts and placed the copper basin on the rack, helping Leng Yu Yan to wash up.

Leng Yu Yan was completely unaware of Miao Zhu’s mind imagining so many dramatic scenes. After washing up and dressing simply, having eaten a light breakfast, she headed to the front courtyard.

As she entered the main hall of the front courtyard, Leng Yu Yan paused.

It was him!

An instinctual desire to turn around and walk back emerged, but then Song Guo stopped her, “Crown Princess Consort, His Highness’s eyes are uncomfortable today; please have a look.”

Song Guo was obviously doing this on purpose. He had changed the way he addressed her a while ago, yet now, in front of so many people, he called her “Crown Princess Consort.”

Miao Zhu blocked in front of Leng Yu Yan and stood with hands on her hips, “Eunuch Song Guo, do not address her improperly! My Miss has no relation with His Highness anymore!”

Song Guo smiled and slapped his own mouth, “Look at my mouth!”

While speaking, he quickly walked up to Leng Yu Yan, “Miss Yu Yan, please.”

Leng Yu Yan then moved her feet.

Just now, this little eunuch referred to the Zhang family’s cousin as the Crown Princess Consort, and the Lin brothers’ faces stiffened. Now, seeing the approaching young lady, graceful and delicate, with a beauty that was breathtaking.

Such clear skin and lovely features truly worthy of causing the downfall of cities and states.

Instantly, the frozen expressions of the Lin brothers were replaced by amazement.

Leng Yu Yan stepped forward slowly and bowed, “This commoner greets Your Highness.”

Ye Yiheng responded indifferently with a hum, indiscernible in emotion.

Elder Mrs. Zhang quietly sighed and then spoke, “Nannan, you must take a good look at His Highness’s eyes. Our family is here, and your cousin’s future in-laws, the brothers, are also present.”

The implied meaning was, with so many people around, the Crown Prince couldn’t behave improperly.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yu Yan turned slightly and politely nodded at the Lin brothers.

Lin Fei and Lin Xiang stood up one after the other to greet her, then sat back down.

Seeing the Crown Prince’s aloof demeanor, the Lin brothers were relieved, fearing that he truly had no interest in her.

At this close distance upon seeing Leng Yu Yan’s face, Lin Xiang found himself liking her even more, her skin so delicate it seemed it could be broken by a blow, smooth as if congealed from the finest cream.

Ye Yiheng methodically straightened his robe before slowly removing his eye veil, his gaze indistinct yet fixated on Leng Yu Yan.

Among those present, only Miao Zhu, Mo Chen, and Leng Yu Yan knew that he could actually see at the moment.

The rest believed that the Crown Prince was completely blind.

“Lady speaks her mind first, I might not be able to cure Your Highness’s eyes,” she paused before asking, “What discomforts Your Highness’s eyes?”

Ye Yiheng’s eyes, unwavering, stared at her, his voice cool: “There’s a vague sensation of pain, the cause unknown.”

Leng Yu Yan met his gaze, and at this moment, his pupils were black, her figure sharply reflected, casting a gentle shadow in his deep, ocean-like phoenix eyes.

She suddenly realized, withdrew her gaze, and thought that he was probably fabricating a story to trap her!

“Perhaps Your Highness is overworked from managing the floods, rest for some days, and the pain might subside.”

“Don’t you need to flip the eyelid?” he asked leisurely, his eyes not blinking.

“No need.” Leng Yu Yan murmured under her breath, thinking a man used to being blind could feign blindness flawlessly when his sight was restored.

Suddenly, her gaze fell upon his hands.

His hands were very attractive, the teeth marks distinctly visible against his pale skin.

She didn’t know whether it was intentional or not, but his hand lifted slightly, subtly twisting…

Pinching the eye veil in his hand.

Seeing that he seemed to want her help tying the eye veil, Leng Yu Yan quickly said, “I have a salve that Your Highness can take with him later.”

Hearing this, Ye Yiheng nodded slightly, noticing the obvious shudder of the young girl standing opposite, then discarded the idea of asking for her help with the eye veil and instead called for Eunuch Song Guo.

At this time, Lin Xiang asked, “How does Miss Yu Yan know medical skill?”

Leng Yu Yan answered, “Bored, I studied medical books by myself.”

“Truly clever!” Lin Xiang nodded incessantly.

Leng Yu Yan modestly said, “You flatter me.”

Ye Yiheng watched, his handsome eyebrows slightly stirring.

Using the excuse of fetching the medicine, Leng Yu Yan promptly took her leave.

At this time, Zhang Yujing, hearing that the Crown Prince had come to the mansion, quietly brought a maid to look.

Lately, everyone was saying the Crown Prince was exceptionally handsome, and she was very eager to see for herself.

Before seeing him, she thought he would likely be more handsome than the Lin brothers.

Entering the main hall, seeing the man in the moon-white brocade robe with his eyes covered by a white veil, Zhang Yujing was so shocked she stood frozen in place for a long time.

Not until Zhang Yumeng spotted her and called her over to give her greetings did she snap out of it.

Shortly after, Leng Yu Yan returned to the main hall and had Miao Zhu give the salve in her hand to Eunuch Song Guo, then said to Ye Yiheng, “Forgive me for not seeing you out.”

This was effectively a dismissal.

All who heard were astounded.

Even Elder Mrs. Zhang was taken aback.

Was Nannan so tormented by the Crown Prince that she would speak like this? What shocked her even more was that the Crown Prince was not at all upset.

Ye Yiheng rose from his chair, and as he lifted his hand, he suddenly heard an inexplicable female voice say, “Your Highness, since you cannot see, let me escort you out.”

Everyone turned their gaze towards the speaker.

Zhang Yujing explained with a smile, “Elder sister is accompanying her husband, my cousin has already made a trip and should rest, I am from the Zhang Family and should naturally offer the hospitality of the host.”

During her speech, she reached out to support Ye Yiheng’s arm…
