On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 789: Don’t Provoke Him

Leng Yu Yan couldn’t help but ask, "How did big brother know the technique to separate Princess Heng Yuan’s fused fingers and the bone reattachment technique for Mi Xinrong?"

"Mi Xinrong had a limp before trying to join the Northern Garrison, so I had to investigate his background thoroughly. As for Princess Heng Yuan..." Lai Yu pointed at her forehead, "Wouldn’t I send someone to investigate? After all, you made Father King and me sleep for ten days with just a bowl of medicine. Since then, I’ve been paying attention to your medical skills."

Lai Yuqing directly asked, "Yan’er, is there anything you’ve been hiding from me and big brother?"

"I..."

Leng Yu Yan choked and turned her pleading eyes to Ye Yiheng.

Ye Yiheng straightened his robes and said unhurriedly, "Yanyan is the Linqing Pavilion Master." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

At this, Ye Jiu covered her mouth in surprise, "Isn’t the Divine Doctor an old man with a white beard?"

Ye Yiheng replied, "The white-bearded old man is just a fabrication by the common folk. There is only one Divine Doctor in the world, and she is right here before your eyes, Yanyan."

Ye Jiu suddenly realized, "No wonder at the beginning of last year, an old man impersonating a Divine Doctor was spotted, and Yan’er knew immediately that he was an impostor. So, the real one was actually right there!" Saying this, she pushed her, "Yan’er, why didn’t you say so earlier?"

"I told you then I was the Divine Doctor, but you didn’t believe me," Leng Yu Yan said with a light smile.

"That’s true, but at that time, saying so was to prove that the old man was an impostor," Ye Jiu said.

To the Brothers of Lai, their sister being the Divine Doctor seemed both unexpected yet reasonable.

Thus, any challenging medical issues were simply taken care of by her, which now made sense.

Lai Yuqing couldn’t help asking, "So, you mean to say that the Crown Prince’s eye disease was also cured by our sister?"

Ye Jiu puzzled, "My Sixth Brother’s eye disease is intermittent. Could Second Uncle have forgotten?"

Lai Yuqing explained, "My sister-in-law might not know, but on May 27th, the Emperor intended to depose the Crown Prince. By then, big brother and sister-in-law had already left the capital, so their not knowing is understandable. His Highness mentioned in court that his eyesight was restored because of a balance in Yin and Yang, which kept his position as the Crown Prince."

This information confirmed that the Crown Prince’s eye disease was indeed cured by Yan’er.

Leng Yu Yan honestly said, "His Highness’s eye disease is indeed cured, and as for his cold disease, it’s mostly healed. There is still some minor residual toxin in his body, but it shouldn’t be a problem anymore." She added sheepishly, "I’m sorry for hiding my identity as the Linqing Pavilion Master from my family."

Ye Yiheng helped to clarify, "Actually, Yanyan’s identity as the Linqing Pavilion Master was also hidden from me. I only found out after investigating. Given the current situation, with the old man seeking the Elixir of Immortality and my second brother and seventh seeking the Divine Doctor, it was necessary to keep it a secret to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Lai Yu and Lai Yuqing nodded in agreement.

Especially the Emperor, who had gone to the extremes in his quest for longevity.

Even if a Divine Doctor existed in the world, where would one find the Elixir of Immortality?

If their sister couldn’t produce the Elixir of Immortality, the Emperor would undoubtedly punish her, and the consequences could be unthinkable.

Lai Yuqing said, "Yan’er, you don’t need to apologize; we understand."

Lai Yu urged Ye Jiu sternly, "You talk too much. The fact that Yan’er and His Highness haven’t consummated their marriage isn’t to be spread. Keep the identity of Yan’er as the Divine Doctor to yourself!"

Ye Jiu glared at him playfully, "Do you think I’m foolish? I’m not!"

Lai Yu scoffed, "Not foolish? How many times did I tell you in Beilan City that I have no relations with the sisters of the Yun Family, and you still didn’t believe me?"

It was Leng Yu Yan’s turn to laugh at Ye Jiu.

Even Ye Yiheng, with his usually cold expression, cracked a smile.

Seeing everyone laughing, Lai Yuqing couldn’t help but join in.

But then, he was promptly silenced by both Lai Yu and Ye Jiu, "You shouldn’t laugh!"

Lai Yuqing held his smile awkwardly, "Why not?"

Ye Jiu bluntly said, "If you had married one of the Yun Family sisters, my big brother and I wouldn’t have so many problems in Beilan City!"

Lai Yu scolded, "You’re not young anymore, still a bachelor; what’s there to laugh about?"

Lai Yuqing’s gentlemanly face twitched at the corners of his lips; big brother and sister-in-law had just married, what right did they have to rush his marriage?

Ye Yiheng sympathetically patted Lai Yuqing’s shoulder, "Second Uncle really should step up his game!"

Leng Yuqing originally wanted to say, "You, as the Crown Prince, are really poor; marrying the Crown Princess Consort and yet delaying consummation is not manly at all!"

But then he thought that the Crown Princess Consort was his own younger sister, so he preferred the Crown Prince to continue being inadequate.

"Yes, Your Highness, your reprimand is justified!"

Leng Yuqing spoke gracefully, but his heart was secretly filled with complaints.

After a long chat in Yeyu Garden, as dusk fell, the round moon hung high in the sky, casting a bright light.

Ye Jiu and Leng Yu Yan then went to the kitchen to decide on the menu.

During dinner, the dining hall in the Prince Mansion was bustling with activity.

Under the bright moon, the Leng brothers and Ye Jiu all drank quite a bit.

Ye Yiheng, who was injured, was not allowed by Leng Yu Yan to drink. If he didn’t drink, she wouldn’t either.

For someone who could normally drink endlessly, not being allowed to drink was tormenting.

But who asked him to have impulsively stabbed himself, having wounds that indeed made drinking inappropriate.

He hadn’t anticipated the subsequent restrictions when he had impulsively stabbed himself near the heart.

However, being able to coax her back, seeing her constantly caring and considerate towards him, he would willingly stab himself again.

--

After having dinner and mooncakes at the Prince Zhenbei Mansion, when Ye Yiheng and his wife Leng Yu Yan returned to the Eastern Palace, the night was deep.

The two of them directly washed up and went to bed.

After the lights went out, Leng Yu Yan turned to her side and said, "Today was truly joyful!"

Her eldest brother and Ah Ju had returned, and her second brother didn’t need to immediately return to Beilan City; also, they had learned of her identity as the Pavilion Master.

Ye Yiheng lay flat on his back, his sleeping posture impeccable.

"Even when it’s just you and me, aren’t you happy?"

"Your Highness, why would you say such a thing?" she couldn’t help but ask, "Aren’t you happy that Ah Ju has returned?"

Ye Yiheng didn’t respond, he just said indifferently, "Let’s sleep."

"Oh."

Leng Yu Yan replied, then also lay flat on her back, behaving properly without touching him.

On the night of August 11th, the two had been overly affectionate for too long, causing his wound to hurt throughout the next day.

Therefore, in the following days, she consciously did her stretches in the evenings, avoiding any contact that might irritate him.

He also behaved, probably because the pain from that day had been quite severe. Hence, he had been sleeping very properly these past few nights.

Having already returned late to the Eastern Palace and washing up even later, Leng Yu Yan quickly fell asleep once they lay in bed, her eyes blinking shut.

She slept like this for two hours.

Two hours later, she stretched her arm unconsciously, found nothing, and suddenly awoke to find that no one was beside her.

The bedroom was pitch dark, except for a light shining down the corridor leading to the bathroom.

Just as she wanted to use the restroom, she slipped on her shoes and headed towards the bathroom.

However, unexpectedly, she saw Ye Yiheng soaking in the bathtub.

Leng Yu Yan, squinting her sleepy eyes, said, "Your Highness, didn’t you take a bath before going to sleep? Why are you bathing again?"

Ye Yiheng’s hands stiffened in the water, his voice hoarse, "... it got hot again."

"Your Highness, turn around." Leng Yu Yan, feeling sleepy, closed her eyes briefly and walked softly to the corner where a screen enclosed the toilet, "Don’t look!"
