On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 263 - : He Likes Her
Chapter 263 -263: He Likes Her
She picked up the chopsticks on the table, twisted her wrist, and one chopstick struck Lai Jiajia’s wrist while the other hit Mi Xinmei’s wrist.
Both cried out in pain, and the food in their hands fell to the ground.
“What’s happened?” the crowd exclaimed.
Leng Yu Yan spoke in a low voice, “The food is poisoned!”
The Mi siblings, who already knew of Leng Yu Yan’s impressive medical skills, believed her without doubt.
Lai Jiajia, clutching her pained wrist, walked over to Leng Yu Yan’s side, “Sister, what poison is in the food?”
“Intestinal rupture powder.” Leng Yu Yan uttered solemnly, suddenly turning her head to look at the maid sneaking around, “It was her!”
Mi Xinrong quickly moved forward and kicked the maid to the ground, “Speak, why did you poison?”
The maid sneered, “What proof do you have that I was the one who poisoned?”
A perfect curve formed on Leng Yu Yan’s lips, “When you added the poison, you were afraid it wouldn’t be evenly distributed, so you stirred it with your finger. Out of habit, you sucked your finger afterward. Right now, your lips are purple-black, which shows you have been poisoned by the intestinal rupture powder.”
The maid’s eyes widened, all her careful calculations ruined by her small habit.
Taking advantage of the maid still being alive, Mi Xinrong had her taken to the government office.
Leng Yu Yan, Lai Jiajia, and Luo Meng’er, as witnesses, followed the Mi family to the Capital Mayor Mansion.
By the time they left the Capital Mayor Mansion, night had deepened.
The Mi family insisted on taking them to a restaurant for a meal, mainly to thank Leng Yu Yan for saving their entire family.
The sky was very dark, and Leng Yu Yan had little appetite anyway, so she said her goodbyes to the Mi family.
“As the Commandery Princess has a poor appetite, let’s talk another day.” Mr. and Lady Mi did not insist further and asked Mi Xinrong to take Leng Yu Yan back.
“Xinrong, escort the Commandery Princess back to the Prince Mansion!”
As Mi Xinrong was about to comply, Leng Yu Yan gently declined, “I usually ride horses to and from the Imperial College, there’s really no need to escort me. However, I would trouble Brother Mi to take my sister and Meng’er back.”
At that moment, a man rode past, his eyes catching sight of Leng Yu Yan dressed as a man by the roadside, and he quickly reined in his horse, turning back.
“Ah Yan, what are you doing here?”
Mi family and others, along with Luo Meng’er and Lai Jiajia, bowed respectfully, “Greetings to Prince Qing!”
Ji Qingyu smiled and nodded, then his gaze fell on Leng Yu Yan as he casually greeted, “Ah Yan, have you had dinner?”
Leng Yu Yan finally realized that anyone related by blood to the Tian Family indeed had thick skin.
This Prince Qing before her was a prime example.
Taking advantage of being drunk, he had attempted to take liberties with her, for which he had been beaten by her third and fourth brothers. Later on, after seeing how close she was with Ye Yiheng in the Imperial Study, he could still smile and greet her.
Leng Yu Yan didn’t say a word, mounted her horse, and sped away, leaving dust in her wake.

Eastern Palace.

The Hidden Guard reported, “The Commandery Princess and Mi Xinrong were together for a while, and she seemed to be in a good mood. What exactly they discussed, this subordinate couldn’t hear clearly as I was too far away.”
“The Commandery Princess left the Mi house and went to the Capital Mayor Mansion. After helping the Mi family resolve the maid poisoning incident at the Capital Mayor Mansion, the Commandery Princess ran into Prince Qing…”
Ye Yiheng’s expression chilled.
In just one day, she had been laughing and talking with three different men.
The feeling was truly unbearable, both sour and painful, as if his heart was missing a piece, filled with melancholy and a numb ache.
Song Guo dismissed the Hidden Guard, and carefully said, “Your Highness, you do indeed care for the Commandery Princess. Although I do not know exactly what has happened between you and the Commandery Princess, there are some things that I think I should tell you.”
“Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, some young masters from the Prince Zhenbei Mansion came to move her dowry, and that was the only opportunity for the Commandery Princess to apply acupuncture to you and wake you up. I believe that the young masters from the Leng Family did not like how close the Commandery Princess was to you, so she sought an excuse to visit the Eastern Palace.”
“There were also a few times before when you fell ill from the cold disease, and it was always the Commandery Princess who saved you.”
“The Commandery Princess asked me not to speak,” Song Guo sighed, then continued, “At that time, Your Highness was entirely fixated on the Commandery Princess, and she was keen to get away. I really did not dare to speak, out of fear that she might refuse to help when your cold disease flared up.”
“But now seeing you like this, I must say all these things!”
Ye Yiheng’s lips tightened into a line, and his heart raced uncontrollably.
She had always cared for him, and he had not realized it.
What had he done, to push her so far away?
Song Guo glanced at the Crown Prince’s expression and softened his tone, “If a lady treated me as such, not caring that I am an eunuch, I would definitely keep her by my side, never to part in life or death!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Yiheng’s brows furrowed.
He understood there was an implicit meaning in Song Guo’s words, that Leng Yu Yan did not mind his princely status and the impotency that came with it, much like him being an eunuch.
This eunuch had just compared him to another eunuch like himself.
Never mind, he meant well, so as the Crown Prince, he would not take offense at such an inappropriate analogy.
Seeing that the Crown Prince’s expression became more serene, Song Guo poured out everything he had been thinking in one go.
“Did you not avoid the Commandery Princess because you fed her medicine mouth-to-mouth and then your cold disease flared up, and you did not want anything to do with her anymore?”
“I have seen it—the influence of the tutor and Young Master must have affected your judgment.”
“Have you not considered? Since you met the Commandery Princess, the occurrences of your illnesses have actually decreased.”
“Moreover, when you kiss and the cold disease flares up, isn’t the Commandery Princess there to apply acupuncture?”
“As for your eye disease, what is there to worry about? The Commandery Princess stays by your side, her eyes are your eyes!”
“If I were you, I would definitely keep her close to me at all times.” Song Guo observed the Crown Prince’s expression while asking, “Your Highness, do you think what I am saying is correct?”
Setting aside Song Guo’s inappropriate analogy, Ye Yiheng admitted that he seemed clearer than him, the eunuch.
Ye Yiheng rubbed his temples, “Continue speaking.”
Song Guo took a deep breath and rambled like spilling beans, “Now that you care for the Commandery Princess, you’re just troubled by it.”
“Life is long, Your Highness, don’t you want to know if you could fall in love with the Commandery Princess?”
“After falling in love with the Commandery Princess, what will happen then?”
“Life has so many uncertainties, just like when I was seven and thought I was going to die, but your pine nuts saved my life!”
“At that time, how could I have imagined that I would grow up, serve you, and witness your interactions with the Commandery Princess?”
“Isn’t life exactly like this?”
Seeing the Crown Prince silent and thoughtful, Song Guo anxiously called, “Your Highness?”
Ye Yiheng’s eyebrows relaxed, “Song Guo, you are absolutely right!”
He admitted that he was gradually falling for her.
Just starting to like her and already being so timid was not Ye Yiheng’s style!
What of being blind or weak, not long for this world, he had to live for the chance to be with her!
He would do anything to keep her by his side!
