Supporting Ye Yiheng, Leng Yu Yan turned her body slightly, "Uncle, please don’t go any further, His Highness and I are about to leave." Lai Zonghui’s lips formed a thin line, he nodded slightly and then said, "Yu Yan, Your Highness, I really don’t know what words of thanks would suffice." "There’s no need for that, Uncle," Ye Yiheng said indifferently, "The master who is teaching Lai Xuan martial arts will be temporarily residing here for a few days, and I have also dispatched a few people to escort you to the government office and school." "That is absolutely unnecessary!" Lai Zonghui repeatedly declined, "How could I dare to command the people by the Crown Prince’s side?" "They will only protect you for these few days until you find your own security, then they will return to the Eastern Palace." Ye Yiheng paused briefly before adding, "As for the length of time Lai Xuan practices martial arts, it will increase by four hours each day." Lai Zonghui was so grateful that he teared up, raising his hand to give a respectful bow, "Thank you, Your Highness!" Hiding and listening in the corridor, Lai Xuan stuck out his head and called out in a clear voice, "I’ll definitely do the two extra hours of practice every day!" "That’s good to hear!" With a smile, Leng Yu Yan then helped Ye Yiheng away. Reaching the open space within the estate, Leng Yu Yan quietly asked the person beside her, "Your Highness, where do you think Lai Manting has run off to?" The Eastern Palace Dark Guard Bureau had already turned the capital upside down and still had not found any trace of Lai Manting. Could there be some expert behind her? After pondering for a moment, Ye Yiheng said, "She has likely left the capital by now." At that moment inside the house, Lai Jiajia was struggling to get out of bed but was stopped by Ms. He. "What are you doing trying to get out of bed, child?" Ms. He pushed Lai Jiajia back to the edge of the bed. Stubbornly getting up, Lai Jiajia said, "Mother, I’ve injured my face, not my legs. I can still walk, and walking doesn’t require using my face." "Who uses their face to walk?" At last, Ms. He couldn’t help but laugh, "What are you actually trying to do?" "I want to see off Lady and the Crown Prince," Lai Jiajia replied, lifting her foot and quickly heading towards the door. At the entrance to the estate, Leng Yu Yan and Ye Yiheng were about to get into the horse carriage when they heard Lai Jiajia calling out to them. "Lady, Your Highness, please wait!" Both Leng Yu Yan and Ye Yiheng stopped and turned around. Lai Jiajia quickly walked up to them and said breathlessly, "When I scratched my own face, Lai Manting lost interest. She wanted a flawless face." Leng Yu Yan nodded, "That does match her personality." "And later," Lai Jiajia continued, "I was forcibly given a sedative, and while hazy, I heard someone saying they could take her away. Lai Manting said that once her plan succeeded, she would pay a hefty sum." "Alright, we’ve got it," said Leng Yu Yan with a smile, patting Lai Jiajia’s arm, "You should go and rest." The Eastern Palace carriage departed from the estate, and since it was nearing midnight, Ye Yiheng ordered Mo Chen Ruofeng to drive the carriage to Prince Zhenbei Mansion. In the evening, Ye Yiheng had sent someone to inform Prince Zhenbei Mansion. Still, when they returned to the mansion, Lai Ran and the Yun Family were waiting in the front courtyard. "Father King, Mother, why haven’t you gone to sleep?" Leng Yu Yan hurried a few steps. Lai Ran sighed, "Your mother insisted on seeing you return before she could rest easy." Wrapping her arm affectionately around her mother’s, Leng Yu Yan said, "Mother, I’m fine. Didn’t His Highness send word earlier?" "How could I not worry about such a dangerous rescue?" Seeing that her daughter didn’t even have a hair out of place brought a smile to Yun’s face, "It’s good that you’re back, now go get some rest." Turning toward Ye Yiheng, Lai Ran said, "Your Highness, you should rest early too. It’s late, so please stay with us tonight." Ye Yiheng nodded, "Father-in-law and Mother-in-law should also rest early." "Alright, the moon is high in the sky. We should all go to sleep." Pulling his wife along, Lai Ran left, while Yun kept looking back every few steps. After walking a bit, Yun couldn’t help but chide Lai Ran, "Inviting the Crown Prince to stay, you meant in our daughter’s room, didn’t you?" Lai Ran lowered his voice, "The young couple will handle it themselves." The Crown Prince can’t, even if he keeps him in the Prince Zhenbei Mansion every day, what of it? The couple moved away, but their conversation still clearly reached Ye Yiheng’s ears. Suddenly hearing Lai Ran say they were newlyweds, the corners of Ye Yiheng’s lips couldn’t help but curl up. "What are you laughing at?" Leng Yu Yan raised her eyes to look at him, "Why are the corners of your mouth turned up so high?" Upon hearing this, Ye Yiheng looked down at her: "I’m laughing because I’ll be marrying you soon." Under the moonlight, the surpassingly handsome individual smiled wickedly and enchantingly, like a male demon that could captivate a person’s soul, causing Leng Yu Yan to be slightly stunned, her heartbeat suddenly missing a beat. Forget it, no need to talk to him about it, Leng Yu Yan went on her own way toward Yanyue Residence. Ye Yiheng chuckled and shook his head, slowly following behind: "We didn’t get to discuss what to add to the bedroom today, how about we go after breakfast at the Prince Mansion tomorrow?" Leng Yu Yan nodded her head: "Good, we’ve agreed, according to my preferences." "Mhm," he responded softly. The next morning, Leng Yu Yan accompanied Ye Yiheng to the Eastern Palace. As soon as her feet crossed into the bedroom, she saw a finely made dressing table not far from the bed, and the embroidered stool was exquisite as well. Her gaze shifted to the side, where a beauty couch was placed by the window, with its cushions in plain but elegant colors she liked, but the quality suggested understated luxury. Antique shelves and screens were also properly arranged, making this corner especially warm in the vast and empty bedroom. Ye Yiheng spoke warmly, "A woman needs to dress up; these were chosen by me, what do you think?" Leng Yu Yan smiled brightly: "Very nice, Your Highness has been thoughtful." These pieces of furniture were evidently handpicked by him, complementing the other items in the room. Moreover, when had such things ever been in his bedroom before? Not to mention empty, it was also stark. "If you need it, we can add a curtain not far from the front of the bed," he suggested, pointing to the angle of the ceiling beam, "hanging it down should make it even cozier. Pearl or gauze curtains, I’m not an expert, so you can decide." Leng Yu Yan smiled: "Actually, it’s quite nice as it is, we can add more gradually." Ye Yiheng took her hand: "Let’s check out the bathhouse." "The bathhouse has changed?" Leng Yu Yan was somewhat puzzled. "You’ll see when you look." He led her to the bathhouse located in the back. Inside the bathhouse, there was a row of wooden racks against the wall for placing clothes and towels, and a pool of water in the center, which at first glance didn’t seem different from before.

Ye Yiheng took her hand and walked her toward the pool’s edge, pointing to an item in the water shining with a lustrous sheen: "It’s this." Leng Yu Yan took a careful look into the water: "A jade chair?" "Mhm," he nodded, asking, "Do you like it?" "You have too much money to spend, to make a jade chair to put in the bathhouse, for taking baths?" Leng Yu Yan completely didn’t understand his idea. Besides, there were already steps in the bathhouse that could be used to sit, why would there be a need to add another chair, especially a jade one? Ye Yiheng said earnestly: "To use when Yanyan and I take a mandarin duck bath together." Hearing him say this, Leng Yu Yan thought there would be two such chairs, so she walked around the pool and examined it closely. "That’s not right, you said it’s for mandarin duck baths, so why is there only one?" She couldn’t help but ask.
