On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 869: Villains Stabbing Each Other

Ye Yuan said coldly, "Although Ye Shi has been demoted by me to a commoner, she is still your wife, Yu Haoqiong. How could you bring yourself to harm her?"

Yu Haoqiong sneered, "She kept putting green hats on me one after another. How could I not bring myself to do it? If it were only her indiscretions with Meng You, which I did not witness myself, I might let it go. But this morning, I saw them with my own eyes! Emperor Tiansheng, when picking a Princess of Marriage, I originally intended it to be the Ninth Princess, but due to Ye Shi’s schemes, the choice was changed. The current situation is merely her reaping what she sowed in another way. In my opinion, the stab to her stomach was still too light."

It was indeed his daughter’s misconduct, leaving Ye Yuan at a loss for words in her defense.

Furthermore, hearing Ye Shi speak clearly, he thought her injuries might not be severe.

Ye Yuan then temporarily set aside the issue of Ye Shi and inquired about Wan Chi’s situation, "Yu Haoqiong, Wan Chi is your national envoy. Given his actions, he should logically serve his sentence in Tiansheng. What do you think?"

Yu Haoqiong asked the question weighing most on his mind, "Your Majesty, may I return to Beiliang?"

Ye Yuan replied, "First, sort out Wan Chi’s matter. What do you say? Ye Shi also deserves a proper explanation."

Yu Haoqiong timely conceded, "Ye Shi seems not to be fond of me as a husband, so I am willing to divorce her. As for Wan Chi, his crime is not small, and I agree to let him serve his sentence in Tiansheng."

From the moment he was carried into the Imperial Palace, Wan Chi had already regained consciousness.

Hearing this conversation, he knew well that staying in Tiansheng would only lead to death.

After daringly sleeping with the Princess of Tiansheng and ruining the marriage alliance between Tiansheng and Beiliang, how could he possibly live well in Tiansheng?

Moreover, if Yu Haoqiong returned to Beiliang, Wan Chi would also have no place to live in Beiliang.

The only way out now was to take one course of action.

That was to first kill Yu Haoqiong and then explain to the Emperor of Tiansheng that he loved Ye Shi and wished to marry her. Given what’s happened between him and Ye Shi, she has already lost face entirely. To recover any dignity, she could only corroborate his statement.

In this way, the relationship between Tiansheng and Beiliang could still be maintained.

As for the envoy, most of them were his people. By then, things would be fine after dealing with the dissenters.

Returning to Beiliang, he would still be a respected general.

As for Yu Haoqiong’s death, he could completely frame it on Tiansheng.

Thinking of this, Wan Chi suddenly drew the sword of an Imperial Army team leader kneeling on the ground, moved swiftly, and stabbed towards Yu Haoqiong’s back. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Eunuch Ma screamed sharply, "Protect His Majesty, protect His Majesty!"

Standing in front, Ye Yiheng and Li Yuyue exchanged a glance, turned indifferently, and stood guard in front of Ye Yuan.

With his back to Wan Chi, Yu Haoqiong had no idea he was in danger. He saw Ye Yiheng and Li Yuyue protecting the Emperor of Tiansheng and thought someone intended to harm the Emperor.

Just when he was wondering who dared be so bold, he turned his head slightly and only then realized Wan Chi was approaching with a sword.

Moreover, it was aimed at his heart.

There was no time to dodge, and the sword stabbed into his heart from his back.

Blood gushed forth in a large mouthful, and Yu Haoqiong sneered, "I just stabbed your chest, not piercing your heart, yet you..." As he spoke, he drew out a dagger from his bosom and drove it straight into Wan Chi’s heart.

This happened so quickly that in the blink of an eye, both Yu Haoqiong and Wan Chi fell to the ground, each convulsing, with blood soon pooling around them.

The Beiliang envoy panicked and shouted, "Emperor of Tiansheng, please call your Imperial Physician to help!"

A stab to the heart made it unlikely to preserve life.

However, Ye Yuan still ordered, "Call the imperial doctor."

After all, Ye Shi also needed to be treated.

He paused, then added, "Also invite the medical woman."

The eunuch nodded and immediately ran off in the direction of the Imperial Hospital.

The hall was in chaos, and Ye Yiheng and Li Yuyue turned around together, unnoticed by anyone, catching the smile exchanged in their eyes.

Soon, the Imperial Physician and medical woman were invited over.

Ye Yuan raised his hand, "First, have a look at the two on the ground."

The two Imperial Physicians respectfully complied, examining Yu Haoqiong and Wan Chi one on the left, the other on the right, and then stood up and sighed.

One said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince of Beiliang is already gone."

The other said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Mr. Wang from Beiliang is also gone."

Ye Yuan swept his gaze over the Beiliang envoy, "Today’s events indeed cause grief. Please accept condolences."

The envoy had no choice but to bow in thanks.

Ye Yuan turned his head and instructed Eunuch Ma, who immediately went to the medical woman, ordering them to treat Ye Shi.

The two medical women entered the bed curtain, and within moments, they screamed and came out.

Ye Yuan’s face darkened, "What is causing this commotion?"

One of the medical women said, "The Tenth Princess has intestines protruding from her abdomen, and her life is in danger."

After all, she was his daughter, so Ye Yuan immediately ordered the court to adjourn and summoned several more Imperial Physicians to consult on Ye Shi.

Ye Yiheng and Li Yuyue left the imperial palace, heading straight for the Eastern Palace.

Before leaving his residence in the morning, Li Yuyue instructed Gao Yuan to bring the princess to the Eastern Palace as soon as she woke up.

Upon entering the Eastern Palace, they saw Leng Yu Yan supporting Ye Jiu, waiting for them.

"I was afraid today’s affairs would affect Ah Ju’s mood, so I brought Ah Ju to the Eastern Palace, and with Yan’er here, I can be at ease," Li Yuyue said to Ye Yiheng. "It’s just a pity that Ye Shi is still alive."

Ye Jiu asked, "Ye Shi is still alive?"

Ye Yiheng turned his head and instructed Song Guo, "You tell them."

Song Guo nodded, stepped forward, and recounted the events of the day at the Jingjiao Coal Mine, hostel, and Xiande Hall to Leng Yu Yan and Ye Jiu.

Upon hearing of Ye Shi’s injury, Leng Yu Yan said indifferently, "She won’t live long."

Ye Jiu couldn’t help but ask, "Why?"

Leng Yu Yan said, "The Imperial Hospital doesn’t have the capability to handle her perforated, punctured intestines."

Ye Jiu laughed, "Before she dies, I must have a good talk with her to anger her!" As she spoke, she looked towards Ye Yiheng and Li Yuyue, "Sixth Brother, husband, I want to go to the Imperial Palace. She caused me to break my leg and used evil objects to harm others. I must settle these accounts with her."

"Very well," Ye Yiheng said flatly.

Li Yuyue nodded, "Revenge must be sought. Then let us go."

The four entered the Imperial Palace through the back door, reaching the side hall where Ye Shi was temporarily located.

When they arrived, the Imperial Physicians were in the outer room of the side hall, conducting a consultation.

Ye Shi lay on the bed, barely breathing. Seeing Ye Jiu approach, she struggled to sit up.

Ye Jiu glanced at Ye Shi’s abdomen, shook her head, and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, Tenth Sister may not be able to bear children in the future."

Ye Shi frowned, noticing Ye Jiu seemingly unaffected despite taking the Strong Antiabortifacient. Why did she look fine?

Judging by her astonished expression, Ye Jiu knew that the woman Wei Liang had seen that day was indeed Ye Shi.

"You planted an evil object in the wedding gift sent by Ye Zhenxian and Yu Yinglei. The evil object causes infertility, and even if pregnant, it results in a miscarriage," Ye Jiu interrogated, "Ye Shi, am I right?"

Ye Shi could hardly believe her ears, "How did you discover the evil object?"

At this time, Leng Yu Yan slowly spoke, "Ye Shi, why did you, as a princess of marriage, not conceive over the years?" Pausing, she asked again, "Have you wondered why you’ve never been pregnant? It’s because you’ve been deeply poisoned by the evil object?"
