On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 786: You Really Know How to Grow Up

Leng Yu Yan chuckled lightly and shook her head, then took the cloth bone she was holding and waggled it in front of Yinhui.

"Here’s a gift for you. Do you like it?"

Upon hearing her, Yinhui’s eyes, usually glinting with a cold light, suddenly opened wide. The sharpness in his eyes instantly turned into an adorable and dazed expression as he briskly lifted his front legs, reaching for the bone toy.

Leng Yu Yan tossed the object in her hand to him.

Yinhui carefully clutched the bone in his jaws and paced several circles around the wolf’s den before he placed the cloth bone in a satisfactory position. Then, resting his snout against it, he fell asleep.

Leng Yu Yan squatted down and gently caressed Yinhui’s shiny fur. This little fellow actually understood everything, she thought, her heart softening at the sight.

Ye Yiheng strolled over and, seeing the scene before him and the tenderness rippling in Leng Yu Yan’s eyes, felt touched to his core.

She treated Yinhui with such kindness; the love she would have for their children must be even greater.

If the previous life he dreamt of really did exist, then the hurt she suffered was too profound.

"Yanyan..." he called.

Leng Yu Yan turned her head, raised her forefinger to her lips, and whispered softly, "Your Highness, please, a bit softer; Yinhui is asleep."

Ye Yiheng pressed his palm against his chest and murmured in a low voice, "Yanyan, my wound feels somewhat uncomfortable."

"Ah? Let’s go back to the room and take a look."

Leng Yu Yan rose hastily, extinguished the light in Yinhui’s room, and pulled him along.

A curve played upon Ye Yiheng’s lips, his fingertips quietly caressing the back of her hand: "It’s been troubling me all day."

Back in their bedroom, Leng Yu Yan scolded him with an accusing glare: "It’s been troubling you all day, and you didn’t say anything?"

"During the day, you were so busy. How could I bring it up?"

Her heart ached at his words. She reached out to unfasten his clothes but he caught her wrist.

She tried to withdraw her hand but couldn’t break free: "Do you still want me to look at it or not?"

Ye Yiheng’s gaze was fervent as he stared at her, "Of course, I want you to look." Then, he let go of her hand.

Leng Yu Yan successfully removed his shirt, and as her fingertips grazed the wound, she lightly touched the stitches, causing the thread to come loose.

"It’s okay, the stitches have come out. This means the wound is half healed."

As she spoke, she cleaned his wound and applied medicine to it.

Her soft fingertips gently swept over his chest, as if they brushed the tip of his heart, igniting a flame within Ye Yiheng.

While she was putting away the ointment, he wrapped his arms around her from behind, gradually tightening his embrace.

His warm breath spread over her snowy neck.

Leng Yu Yan gave his arm a light pat and said softly, "It must be because you overdid it last night that you’ve been uncomfortable all day today. Logically, when the stitches come out, it should only itch, not hurt."

Last night he had pinned her down on the bed, loving her fervently; even the thought now made her blush.

After such intimacy, his blood must have flowed too vigorously, causing his chest wound to hurt today.

Ye Yiheng paused, his casually fabricated discomfort having become an obstacle to their closeness.

Leng Yu Yan forcefully turned herself around in his embrace and placed a hand on his cheek: "Your Highness, you mustn’t take heart muscle damage lightly!"

Ye Yiheng nodded and tenderly kissed her lips.

"Mmm, Your Highness is so good!" she smiled.

The man sighed in his heart, the lies he told, he must now bring full circle.

Whether it was the force or the angle at which the dagger was thrust, he had managed it with great precision and perfection—a fact he could not share with her.

In this moment, as he beheld his beautiful and alluring wife, he could only look but not touch, and this agony he too had to swallow.

Looking at her translucent and radiant smile, Ye Yiheng felt his own thoughts were indecent.

Baili Zhengrong left the capital, and after two days, it happened to be the fifteenth of August.

Leng Yu Yan, accompanied by Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, was picking peaches in the peach grove, preparing to make some new dried peaches and peach preserves.

Looking at the branches full of honey peaches, Leng Yu Yan couldn’t help but sigh, "Your Highness found such a fine variety, the production cycle is long, allowing for peaches to be enjoyed from the start of summer until its end, and even during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we can have a wave of late peaches."

"Your Highness knew that the Crown Prince Consort liked peaches, so a lot of thought was put into it." Song Guo, who appeared out of nowhere, said with a smile.

Leng Yu Yan looked up and saw a familiar boy beside Song Guo.

On closer inspection, it turned out to be Wei Liang.

Wei Liang stepped forward a few paces and bowed respectfully, "Your humble servant pays respects to the Crown Prince Consort!"

"Rise," said Leng Yu Yan, who then asked, "Didn’t you go back to Beilan City with the Princely Heir?"

Wei Liang bowed and replied, "To answer Your Highness, the Princely Heir and Ninth Princess have returned to the capital."

Leng Yu Yan smiled, "My eldest brother and sister-in-law left the capital for three months, and they really picked a good day to come back on the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Wei Liang nodded, "The Princely Heir said he wanted to spend Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital, so they hurried along the way to make it back in time to reunite with the Crown Prince Consort today."

"You go back and tell them that the Crown Prince and I will come over in the evening." Leng Yu Yan reached up to pick a peach and put it into Chun Liu’s basket, then added, "Tell them to rest well first."

Wei Liang obediently agreed and promptly left.

Taking advantage of the perfect sunlight, Leng Yu Yan and Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter set about washing and slicing peaches to dry; they had to start the process today.

With the eldest brother returning, it was very likely that the second brother would visit Beilan City.

If so, before the second brother left the capital, she needed to get the dried peaches ready.

Previously, she had made two large jars, both intended for someone; unexpectedly, one jar ended up being given to Xiaoshan. She wondered if that person became upset?

If she gave the remaining jar to her second brother, that person would probably be annoyed.

Soon, it was afternoon, and Leng Yu Yan instructed Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter to gather the dried peaches before sunset, then she and Ye Yiheng went to Prince Zhenbei Mansion.

--

Upon arriving at the Prince Mansion, Leng Yu Yan and Ye Yiheng went straight to Yeyu Garden.

Seeing her long-missed sister, Leng Yuqing opened his arms wide: "Yan’er!"

Leng Yu Yan hurried over and buried her head in his embrace, the grievances she had previously felt rising again.

"Big brother..."

Hearing the cry in her voice, Leng Yuqing patted her back gently and asked in a soft voice, "Did Your Highness mistreat you?"

Leng Yu Yan lightly shook her head, "No, I just haven’t seen big brother for so long, I’m happy."

With her elder brother, she always saw the shadow of her brother Leng Yi.

Leng Yuqing, as if he had just noticed Ye Yiheng, nodded slightly as a greeting.

Ye Yiheng’s face was somber, having just watched the siblings embrace had made him extremely uncomfortable. Thankfully, it was only a light hug, and they did maintain a certain distance.

At that moment, Ye Jiu emerged from an inner room and pulled Leng Yu Yan from Leng Yuqing’s embrace into his own, holding her tightly.

"Ah yo, my little sister-in-law, I’ve missed you ’to death’!" Ye Jiu stealthily pinched Leng Yu Yan’s waist and said with a smile, "How is it that your waist has gotten even slimmer?" He then extended his finger and poked at her chest, "And this area has gotten bigger, Yan’er, you sure do know how to grow!"

Leng Yu Yan quickly covered Ye Jiu’s mouth, "Why must you say everything?"

Fortunately, her big brother and that person had gone to stand on the veranda, so they probably hadn’t heard their conversation.

After a while, Leng Yuqing also arrived at Yeyu Garden.

"The house is quite lively today." He placed the mooncakes he had bought outside into the room and sighed, "Before, I was the only one at home, and I didn’t know why I bothered to commute every day to and from the barracks to the Prince Mansion."

Leng Yu Yan walked up to him, her voice sweet and soft: "Second brother has worked hard during this time. I have already started making dried peaches today, so you can eat them whenever you want later on."

Leng Yuqing’s face brightened with joy, "Really?"
