On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 804: Nicely Done

Ye Yuan was quickly taken to the Eastern Palace by Mo Chen Ruo Feng.

Upon hearing of Ye Yuan’s arrival, Ye Yiheng instructed Leng Yu Yan to rest well in bed, then stepped out of the bedroom.

Outside the bedroom, on the vast open ground, Ye Yuan knelt on the ground.

At this moment, the afterglow of the sunset had fallen, and the Eastern Palace was ablaze with lights.

Ye Yuan bent her back slightly, and the candlelight in the lantern stretched her shadow, adding a bit of desolation and sadness.

Before leaving the Marquis Jiangyang Mansion, she asked Mo Chen Ruo Feng about Ji Qingyu kidnapping Ah Yan, but the two were reluctant to say more.

So she turned to ask Leng Song, who told her everything he knew.

Being a woman herself, she couldn’t bear to hear that Ah Yan was being threatened by Ji Qingyu despite her discomfort.

However, Ji Qingyu is her son, and she has only this one child in her life; she cannot watch him get into trouble!

But Ji Qingyu’s sins were too grave, and as a mother, she felt responsible to plead guilty.

Therefore she knelt on the ground, begging Ah Heng and Ah Yan for forgiveness!

Ye Yiheng saw Ye Yuan kneeling and did not ask her to rise, but slowly walked to her front.

Seeing the footsteps approaching, Ye Yuan raised her head sharply, "Ah Heng..." After a pause, she corrected herself, "Crown Prince, please be magnanimous and spare Qingyu!"

Ye Yiheng looked down at her with an indifferent voice: "Aunt, do you know what crimes Ji Qingyu committed?"

"I have learned." Ye Yuan nodded hastily, "It is my failure in teaching my son; please, Crown Prince, show mercy and spare Qingyu’s life!" She stretched out her hand, "If the Crown Prince wants to cut off hands or feet, please break mine instead!"

Seeing the scars on Ye Yuan’s hand, Ye Yiheng ground his molars.

Ye Yuan and Ji Qingyu, this mother and son pair, were always adept at using such means, with half an antidote for the cold disease, finger joints sticking, leveraging these emotions to gain sympathy.

Song Guo couldn’t help but step forward: "Eldest Princess, now that Prince Qing’s cold disease has been cured, and your hand has also healed, in the future, please do not mention these matters again!"

Ye Yuan nodded: "I know, I understand!" She lowered her head, "I beg the Crown Prince for mercy! In the future, I promise Qingyu will abandon those unworthy thoughts!"

Ye Yiheng said expressionlessly: "I can spare him a life, but if he says anything inappropriate, regardless of who it is transmitted by, he will be held accountable."

If Ji Qingyu dares to reveal Yanyan’s identity as the Divine Doctor, the consequence would be death.

Ye Yuan nodded once more: "Yes, yes, I understand!"

Ye Yiheng turned and coldly uttered two words: "Send her off."

Song Guo walked in front of Ye Yuan, bent down slowly, and raised his hand: "Eldest Princess, please!"

Ye Yuan’s legs were numb from kneeling, she borrowed strength from Song Guo’s arm to get up.

"Mr. Song, I want to ask how the Crown Princess Consort is doing?"

Song Guo sighed: "To answer the Eldest Princess, the Crown Princess Consort is not well; the aphrodisiac given by Prince Qing to the Crown Princess Consort, if not resolved within three hours, poses a life-threatening risk. At the time, the Crown Princess Consort was unwell, such a thing could be fatal, could it not? The Crown Prince managed with great difficulty to pull her back from the brink of death, and now the Eldest Princess comes to plead with the Crown Prince, who is benevolent; it is only by considering the Eldest Princess’s face that he spared Prince Qing."

Ye Yuan’s heart trembled: "Can I see her?"

Song Guo let out a long exhale and said helplessly: "Better not, the Crown Prince is guarding her at all times, just hoping for the Crown Princess Consort to recover slightly and feel a bit better."

Ye Yuan felt deeply guilty.

It is said that such an aphrodisiac has no actual antidote; the so-called antidote is a man.

Ah Yan is currently not in mortal danger, presumably thanks to Ah Heng’s help.

Resolving the effects of the drug in such a way is a huge harm to a woman, especially when she is unwell.

Thinking of this, Ye Yuan cursed Ji Qingyu in her heart.

If Ji Qingyu were not her son, she would truly want to give him a thrashing.

Ah Yan is beautiful and kind-hearted; she also liked her very much. It’s understandable that Qingyu liked Ah Yan. But now the fact is that Ah Yan is already Ah Heng’s wife; Qingyu should really not become more entangled.

Ye Yiheng returned to the bedroom, seeing Leng Yu Yan pointing to the bump on the back of her head and asking Dong Yan to apply medicine, his heart ached.

The spot where she hit the back of her head was red and swollen, shocking and heart-aching.

He asked seemingly nonchalantly: "Yanyan, I heard the aphrodisiac came from Ji Qingyu’s lover?"

Leng Yu Yan looked at the man’s silhouette in the mirror, nodded, and said softly, "Hmm, that woman is the top courtesan on the flower painting boat; she used a handkerchief wrapped with sedative and aphrodisiac to throw at me, that was how I lost to Ji Qingyu."

Ye Yiheng twitched his finger, held his hand behind his back, and exited the bedroom.

Leng Yu Yan watched in confusion: "Where is Your Highness going?"

A voice came from outside, gradually receding: "I’m going to the study."

Dong Yan gently straightened Leng Yu Yan’s head: "Commandery Princess, don’t move, the medicine hasn’t been applied yet."

"Oh, okay." Leng Yu Yan turned her head back.

Ye Yiheng strode out of the bedroom, seeing Mo Chen Ruo Feng standing as if he had done something wrong, coldly asked: "Had you not acted late, Ji Qingyu would already be no longer in this world."

Mo Chen lowered his head: "We realize our mistake!"

If they had broken Ji Qingyu’s hands and feet rather than beating him, Ji Qingyu would have been dead by now.

Indeed, it was their mistake.

Once Princess Heng Yuan mentioned it, they considered the Crown Prince’s reputation, leading them to bring the Eldest Princess to the Eastern Palace.

This way, the Crown Prince gave face to the Eldest Princess and had to spare Ji Qingyu.

The mistake indeed lay in their failure to act directly.

Ruo Feng suggested: "Then let’s give him a finishing blow at night!"

"Are you foolish?" Ye Yiheng said coldly, "Put Ji Qingyu’s matter aside. I want you to do one thing. If done well, I won’t hold you accountable for the earlier incident."

Mo Chen Ruo Feng’s eyes brightened, seizing the opportunity for redemption, they cupped their hands: "Please instruct us, Your Highness!"

"Make Ji Qingyu’s lover into a lantern, ensure it’s beautifully done, and hang it at Ji Qingyu’s bedside so he sees it every day."

"Understood, Your Highness, please rest assured!"

As soon as the words fell, Mo Chen Ruo Feng disappeared into the night.

Just a quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the flower painting boat.

At the boat’s bow, Qing Ge was playing a zither and singing.

The brothel owner brought Mo Chen Ruo Feng to Qing Ge: "Daughter, these two distinguished guests, be sure to entertain them well tonight!"

Qing Ge continued playing the zither and only spoke after finishing a song: "Mom, you know that I belong to Prince Qing; how can you allow others to ruin me?"

The brothel owner awkwardly laughed, telling Mo Chen Ruo Feng: "Gentlemen, my apologies, we dare not offend the Commandery Prince. How about I choose a more beautiful girl for you two? If one is not enough, perhaps several more that will surely satisfy you both!"

Mo Chen touched the fake mustache on his lip, lowering his voice: "Miss Qing Ge, you may not know, but we are here to take you to the Commandery Prince."

Qing Ge looked up warily: "Why didn’t Leng Song come?"

Ruo Feng changed his tone: "Didn’t you hear Leng Song was injured by the Crown Prince’s men? The Commandery Prince was also beaten, so we came to take you."

Qing Ge gracefully rose and said with a joyful smile: "In that case, let’s go."

Mo Chen Ruo Feng exchanged glances, their elaborate setup was to ensure she smiled beautifully, so even when made into a human skin lantern, it would look pleasing.
