In her dream, everything before her eyes turned dark, and suddenly she couldn’t catch her breath, as if someone was strangling her. Her little face turned red, unable to utter a sound from her throat. Panic flashed across Ye Yiheng’s face, unable to see, he could only pat her cheek, "Leng Yu Yan, dare you deceive me?" She tried to speak, but found her soul seemed to drift out from her dream self. Suddenly, Leng Yu Yan awoke from her dream. Drenched in sweat, it wasn’t because of what he had done to her in the dream, but because she realized a terrifying reality! Could it be that she had lived an ancient life, been to the modern era, and now returned to the ancient times of her past life? Six years ago, she had traveled here, knowing the body she occupied was named Leng Yu Yan, the same as in her modern times, she had thought it was just a coincidence. Now, she realized, she was herself, indeed herself! Thus, those dreams were true experiences of her past life, and her entanglements with Ye Yiheng had already begun. Her mind was in turmoil, her palms sweaty, her past marriage was so, would her current marriage go smoothly? Regardless, she had never wanted to see him more than before. Leng Yu Yan got out of bed, quickly put on an outer garment, and in order not to wake Miao Zhu, who was keeping watch outside, she leapt out of the window. Using a few points of leverage on the roof, she flew towards the direction of the Eastern Palace. At this moment, in the Eastern Palace, Ye Yiheng was still dealing with official duties in the small tower library. By the time Leng Yu Yan arrived, the library was still brightly lit. Since it was late at night, the palace maid and eunuch who usually guarded outside the library were nowhere to be seen, only Mo Chen Ruo Feng hiding in the shadows noticed her approaching. The two exchanged a glance, mutually understanding not to disturb the Commandery Princess who had come to find the Crown Prince. Seeing the library door was closed, Leng Yu Yan knocked on the door. Inside, Song Guo heard the noise and felt a surge of anger, wondering who dared to disturb His Highness so late at night? Though he grumbled, Song Guo still opened the library door, and upon seeing it was Leng Yu Yan, he was immensely surprised and hurriedly opened the door wider. At this late hour, why had the Commandery Princess come to the Eastern Palace? Then it struck him, who else in the Eastern Palace dared to knock on the Crown Prince’s library door? Just as sleepiness was overcoming him, his mind couldn’t make the connection. Song Guo pinched the web between his thumb and forefinger hard to stay awake, then said, "Commandery Princess, how come you are here?" Ye Yiheng, who was still sitting behind the desk, heard Song Guo call "Commandery Princess" and looked up to see Leng Yu Yan, her hairpins gone, hair disheveled, and dressed thinly. He quickly got up and went to her, "Yanyan, what’s happened?" Leng Yu Yan had just wanted to see him, and now that she had, her eyes warmed with tears, and she quickened her steps, plunging into his embrace. Outside, Mo Chen Ruo Feng exchanged another glance, relieved they had not shown themselves earlier. If they had, in their presence, the Commandery Princess likely would not have dared to plunge into His Highness’s embrace so boldly. Song Guo looked down, tactfully left the library, and gently closed the door behind him. Seeing Song Guo emerge, Mo Chen Ruo Feng promptly appeared. Song Guo shot them a glare, "The Commandery Princess is here, why didn’t you give me a heads-up?" He was nearly wrong in scolding the Commandery Princess! Mo Chen retorted, "The Commandery Princess came obviously to see His Highness. With His Highness inside, why should we have appeared?" Ye Yiheng instinctively enveloped her in his arms, only then realizing she was dressed much more thinly than he thought, noticing from her sleeves that she was wearing only her night clothes beneath her outer garment. Looking further down, her embroidered shoes were without socks. "What has happened?" His voice full of concern. Leng Yu Yan tightly embraced his sturdy waist, "It’s okay, I just wanted to see you." Judging by her appearance, she obviously had slept before coming out. Ye Yiheng grasped her thin shoulders and looked into her eyes, focused and serious, "Be good, tell me the truth!" "I had a nightmare," Leng Yu Yan lowered her eyes. Her voice was muffled, clearly a bit aggrieved. Ye Yiheng’s ears twitched, and he took off his outer robe and draped it over her, "Did the dream involve someone choking your neck?" Wearing his robe, she felt much warmer. Leng Yu Yan shook her head, "No." "Did I bully you in some way?" She could never mention what happened in the dream, only saying, "Can you not ask, please?" "Yanyan, you would not come unless it was something serious. Tell me." She leaned against his chest again, "I just want to hug you." Ye Yiheng pinched the small hand resting at his waist. Her hand was even colder than his! At this moment, since she didn’t want to speak, he wouldn’t press her. It was probably his own doing; he wasn’t doing enough for her to open up fully. With this in mind, he adjusted the robe on her shoulders and then swept her up horizontally from the study. Someone’s chest was broad, his arms strong, and unlike in the dream, in reality his embrace gave her great comfort. Leng Yu Yan snuggled in his arms, finding an extremely comfortable position. At the entrance of the study, the three people arguing saw their master coming out, and they all shut up and bowed their heads. As the master walked away, Ruofeng said, "When is Prince Zhenbei arriving in the capital? In my opinion, the Crown Prince should marry the Commandery Princess sooner rather than later." Mo Chen nodded, "That’s true. Usually, it’s the Crown Prince who visits the Prince Mansion looking for the Commandery Princess. Tonight the Crown Prince didn’t go, and instead, the Commandery Princess came to him. This back and forth is troublesome; better to marry soon!" Song Guo said, "It’s not necessarily like that; tonight’s dinner was at the Prince Mansion for the Crown Prince." "But I also think it’s better for the Crown Prince to marry the Commandery Princess sooner rather than later!" Song Guo couldn’t help but add. Ye Yiheng walked very slowly, speaking equally slowly, "Yanyan, it was wrong of me to choke your neck before. If this still causes nightmares, I would be extremely remorseful." Her coming really worried him. This woman wouldn’t easily come to him, unless she needed something from him. Like when they discussed cooperation, she also came in the depth of the night. The more he thought about it, the more disheartened Ye Yiheng felt. "Your Highness..." What should she say? Say that he kept her up all night? Or that she realized the dream was actually about her past life? Her feelings were very complex, hard to distinguish what she was truly feeling. Ye Yiheng seemed very patient, "If you want to say it, say it. If you don’t want to say it, then don’t. I won’t force you." That’s when Leng Yu Yan finally spoke softly, "In the dream, you said the only way to escape the Eastern Palace was to be carried out dead. Your Highness, the you in the dream was very fierce; I was very scared." Somehow, hearing her say this made Ye Yiheng’s heart leap. In the dream, he was like that, yet she didn’t hold it against him. On the contrary, she still sought him out in the dead of night. Could he consider that in her heart, he was already someone she could trust and rely on? "Are you afraid of me?" Although he roughly knew the answer, Ye Yiheng still asked. "Sometimes I am, but not at this moment," Leng Yu Yan said softly, her voice tender, "Your Highness, I was impulsive. It was just a dream, yet I came to the Eastern Palace. I feel much better now; I should go home." She didn’t know why, but she just wanted to see him, to hug him. Now that she had seen and hugged him, it was time to leave. "Go home, to which home?" Ye Yiheng asked her, "Aren’t you the Crown Princess Consort? Isn’t the Eastern Palace your home?"
