On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 791: There is a Trick

His hands finally clean, he slowly wiped her dry.

Leng Yu Yan felt both shy and sleepy, her voice low and quiet due to her shyness, "Can I go to sleep now? Your Highness won’t...?"

Ye Yiheng, having put on his night robe, smiled softly and tenderly stroked the top of her head, "Very sleepy?"

"Aren’t you sleepy?"

She looked up with dazed eyes. The figure in front of her was lively and radiant, in stark contrast to her own.

It was already early morning, and she hadn’t expected that they would stay in the bathroom for so long.

"Not tonight."

Ye Yiheng lifted her horizontally and strode toward the bedroom.

As for whether he was sleepy, he didn’t feel sleepy at all.

However, he didn’t plan to tell her that, fearing that getting even closer might scare her.

Fortunately, her sleepiness at that moment made her not speak of her fear of him because of what had just happened.

Morning.

The palace maids under Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter had already sun-dried and turned the peach twice, yet their Pavilion Master had not risen, prompting Miao Zhu to check on her.

Miao Zhu shook her head, "No need to go; the Crown Prince hasn’t gotten up either."

Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.

This was really rare, as the Crown Prince usually woke up early; today must be quite unusual!

Inside the bedroom of the sleeping quarters, Leng Yu Yan turned over, feeling uncomfortable in any position. Her hands felt as if they weren’t her own, sore, numb, and heavy. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

She decided to lie on her stomach to sleep.

Suddenly, a soft chuckle sounded by her ear, "You’ve flattened it."

Leng Yu Yan got angry and grabbed a pillow, smashing it toward the head of a certain person.

"Hisss..." Her wrist throbbed with pain, and she rubbed it before quickly ducking under the thin blanket, "Leave."

Her voice was both embarrassed and annoyed.

Ye Yiheng replaced the pillow and gently patted her, his tone indulgent and tender, "Fine, I’m up, you sleep some more."

"Get out quick!"

After last night’s incident, she felt that he probably hadn’t hurt his heart muscle, or perhaps his physique was strong and his recovery ability was good, so his heart muscle had healed quickly.

Whatever the case, she was embarrassed to look at her own hands, and even more embarrassed to look at a certain person.

It wasn’t long before Ye Yiheng left the sleeping quarters.

The usual stern-faced Crown Prince now carried a smile and even a touch of warmth on his handsome face.

Leng Yu Yan didn’t get up until it was time for lunch.

During the meal, she sneaked glances at the certain person sitting opposite her, who looked refreshed, in contrast to her, who could not get enough sleep.

Ye Yiheng noticed her gaze on him and raised his eyelids slightly, meeting her eyes briefly before she looked away.

He couldn’t help but shake his head and served her some food, "Eat some more."

Leng Yu Yan lowered her head and quietly hummed in response.

But then he added, "You’re too delicate and weak, you really should eat more."

Leng Yu Yan choked on hearing this, feeling annoyed!

Certain someone was taking advantage after getting a bargain.

Why on earth were there such shameless people?

Throughout the meal, Ye Yiheng slowly realized the problem; she no longer looked at him, avoided eye contact as much as possible, and didn’t speak to him.

Had he frightened her last night?

He wanted to ask, but felt it was inappropriate to do so at the dining table.

After the meal, Ye Yiheng returned to his study to work, and Leng Yu Yan finally felt relieved.

As the flashes of last night returned to her mind, her face immediately burned like fire.

Just then, Ye Jiu arrived.

Seeing Leng Yu Yan zoning out alone in the room, Ye Jiu couldn’t help but reach for her forehead.

"Goodness, Yan’er, why are you so hot? Do you have a fever?"

"No, it’s probably just the heat."

Leng Yu Yan discreetly moved her forehead away from Ye Jiu’s hand.

"It doesn’t seem that hot now," Ye Jiu said, looking outside the window. "I came here to invite you to go shopping with me. Didn’t you say you wanted to buy clothes for your second brother? Let’s go pick some out together, shall we?"

"Sure." Leng Yu Yan nodded, her gaze falling on her own hands, and her face involuntarily reddened again. "Sister-in-law, fingers really can reveal some clues."

Hearing this, Ye Jiu stealthily leaned closer to Leng Yu Yan’s head. "Hey, tell me more!"

But Leng Yu Yan refused to say more, only saying, "Let’s head out now."

The sisters-in-law, wearing veils, left the Eastern Palace, and soon a little eunuch reported to Ye Yiheng.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess Consort has gone shopping with the Ninth Princess."

Hearing that Ye Jiu was with them, Ye Yiheng felt relieved. "Good, I know."

The two women visited several men’s clothing stores but didn’t find anything satisfactory until, eventually, in one shop, they did see a few items they liked.

The shopkeeper asked them, "What are the measurements for the men? We have clothes in various sizes here, so our guests can wear them more comfortably."

Upon hearing the word ’measurements’, Leng Yu Yan’s mind involuntarily conjured up startling widths and lengths.

She vigorously pressed her temples, trying to drive the inappropriate images out of her mind.

Through the veil, Ye Jiu could see her reddened complexion and asked, "Are you alright?"

Leng Yu Yan shook her head. "I’m fine. Sister-in-law, do you know my second brother’s measurements?"

"I measured both your eldest and second brothers this morning." Ye Jiu took out a slip of paper. "Here, it’s all written down. They sweat a lot in the camp, so it’s better to buy several sets of underclothes to change into. Later, we can have some made to fit even more comfortably."

Leng Yu Yan nodded and smiled. "That’s sensible, sister-in-law. You’re so kind; I’ll thank you on behalf of my second brother!"

Her second brother had been alone in the capital for two months, and during this time, he wore clothes brought from Beilan City. Without any female family members to care for him, he just wore the same few sets.

Since her eldest brother returned from Beilan City to the capital with probably not much clothing, it was also time to get him a few new sets.

Having clothes tailor-made would take too long; buying ready-made was more convenient.

"Why thank you? We’re all family!" Ye Jiu said with a smile. "Your second brother calls me ’sister-in-law’, and as he doesn’t have a wife now, shouldn’t I take care of him?"

Leng Yu Yan affectionately linked her arm through Ye Jiu’s, murmuring softly, "I missed you when you weren’t in the capital."

There were many things she wanted to talk about that she had nowhere else to say.

"I missed you too!" Ye Jiu said, while pointing out some clothes for the shopkeeper to pack up, and then asked Leng Yu Yan, "Aren’t you buying a few for Sixth Brother?"

Leng Yu Yan countered, "Him? Do you think he would wear store-bought clothing?"

Ye Jiu laughed. "Look at my memory, he’s the pickiest."

"Not that picky. He wears whatever I make."

Ye Jiu’s smile deepened meaningfully. "That’s because he has you in his heart!"

After paying with silver, the two women soon left the clothing store, and upon leaving, they saw a little girl begging next to their carriage.

Ye Jiu turned her head and motioned for Lian Yan, who was following them, to give out some broken silver.

Suddenly, a fragrant scent made Leng Yu Yan stop in her tracks.

The scent was nauseating; it was the third time she had smelled it. She gripped Ye Jiu’s hand, "Sister-in-law, I fear there might be deceit involved."

As she spoke, Leng Yu Yan looked around vigilantly.

Ye Jiu exclaimed in surprise, "What do you mean? Where’s the deceit?"

Leng Yu Yan withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes to sniff the fragrance, and looked toward the direction the scent was coming from.

Indeed, she saw someone fleeting past a window of the restaurant.

Sneaky, as if up to no good.

Her gaze returned just in time to see the begging little girl running away.

Ye Jiu pressed her jittery heart, exhaling deeply. "There really was deceit!"
