Chapter 627: Chapter 627: Because I’m Lonely, I Lied to You Hearing him say so, Leng Yu Yan felt her face burning with heat. Ye Yiheng leaned forward, bent over, and scooped her up sideways, carrying her back to the bed. Having been pressed onto the bed by him once more, Leng Yu Yan instinctively felt fear, her body trembling nonstop. Ye Yiheng’s large hand stroked the side of her waist, his gaze falling on her rosy lips. In the next instant, he pressed his lips against them. Leng Yu Yan turned her head away to avoid him. Knowing that he was “normal,” she felt completely different under his gaze than before. Ye Yiheng gently smiled, cupping her cheek in his hand, whispering, “Yanyan…” Under such circumstances, the way he called her was full of deep affection and tenderness. It made her head spin. But even though her head was dizzy, her heart remained unbelievably clear! Leng Yu Yan shook her head, her gaze fixedly looking towards the door, her whole body shrinking, eager to escape. He pinched her chin, forcing her face to turn towards him. Then he lowered his head, hovering his lips next to hers without kissing her, and said softly, “Don’t be afraid.” How could she not be afraid? Tonight was their wedding night—how was she supposed to get out of this situation she wanted so desperately to escape? At this thought, she honestly said, “I chose you as a partner because you told me you had a hidden illness. Later, when we got along well, I admitted it.” Pausing, she said in a lower tone, “But that sort of thing, I…” He asked bluntly, “You don’t want to?” She nodded emphatically, then quickly added, “I am afraid!” How could she not be afraid? Because of those months of dreams, she could say she had developed a psychological barrier, and this fear had become instinctive. He kissed her forehead gently. “If you’re afraid, I won’t touch you tonight.” His voice was low and hoarse. She couldn’t believe it, “Really?” He lay down on the other side. On the third day of the fifth month, it was the second day of Ye Yiheng’s wedding with Leng Yu Yan, and they were required to enter the palace to offer tea to the Emperor. Early in the morning, Leng Yu Yan woke up early. All night long, her nerves had been on edge, her body stiff beside someone, for fear that he would suddenly go back on his word. If he was like the man in her dreams, she was sure she couldn’t resist him. As dawn broke, she usually would have slept for another hour, but today she couldn’t sleep at all. Ye Yiheng glanced at her, lying a foot away from him, and pinched the bridge of his nose. She hadn’t slept well all night, and he was hardly any better… He had forcibly restrained himself all night long! Leng Yu Yan sat up, not daring to look at the person beside her, her voice stiff, “Oh, tonight I’d like to sleep in Tingfeng Garden.” Ye Yiheng also sat up slowly, cleared his throat, and said icily, “Because I deceived you?” Leng Yu Yan didn’t deny it, nodding her head. “After offering tea, when we return to the Eastern Palace, I will give you an explanation. Then you can decide whether to stay in the bedroom or move to Tingfeng Garden.” After speaking, Ye Yiheng got out of bed. Outside, Song Guo and Miao Zhu, who had been waiting, brought in the eunuchs and palace maids to attend to them when they saw their masters getting up from within. Seeing the cold expression on both their masters’ faces, Song Guo and Miao Zhu exchanged glances. They should have been happy after their wedding—why were they ? They couldn’t understand it, but since their masters didn’t speak, it wasn’t their place to ask. Once the two were dressed properly, and Leng Yu Yan had finished her makeup, during the morning meal, both still remained silent toward each other. Song Guo and Miao Zhu were even more puzzled, so they left the bedroom together and went to an open space to discuss. Song Guo frowned, “What’s the matter? He seemed a bit upset.” Miao Zhu frowned, “The Crown Prince is emanating a chilling aura, quite frightening indeed.” “That’s not right to say, the Crown Princess Consort is also quite cold.” Miao Zhu glared at him, “The time for the palace entry tea ceremony is approaching, why don’t we try to probe subtly when they return?” Song Guo nodded, “Let’s do just that.” After breakfast, Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan entered the palace. The Emperor sat on the Dragon Chair, looking down at the kneeling young couple, “Now that you are husband and wife, Crown Prince, you must take good care of the Crown Princess Consort from now on.” Leng Yu Yan took a teacup from the palace maid’s tray, lifted it with both hands, “Father Emperor, please drink the tea!” The Emperor said with a smile, “Good!” Eunuch Ma took the teacup and handed it to the Emperor. The Emperor symbolically took a sip and spoke loudly, “Now that you’re married, you should support each other with love and live in harmony.” The kneeling couple agreed again. The Emperor then raised his hand and commanded someone to give red envelopes to Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan, dismissing them. Ye Yiheng wasn’t surprised by this; the old Emperor never liked him as the Crown Prince, he would have invited other Princes to stay for lunch after their wedding. But now, the old man couldn’t wait for them to leave the palace as soon as possible. After leaving the palace hall, Ye Yiheng waved the red envelope in front of Leng Yu Yan’s eyes. Leng Yu Yan was startled, “For me?” With just a word, though cold, she seemed to detect a warmth in it. Leng Yu Yan began to wonder if her suggestion to move to Tingfeng Garden had been too capricious? But it’s wrong for him to deceive her, to treat her as a fool to be toyed with, how different was it from the beginning when he coldly and cruelly tied her up without regard for her feelings? Moreover, the words spoken in the morning were like water spilled, they couldn’t easily be taken back. She pursed her lips, then said softly, “Thank you.” Ye Yiheng sarcastically curled the corner of his mouth, she was keeping her distance again. With that thought, he tightened his grip on the small hand she rested on his arm, “Let’s hurry back to the Eastern Palace, I owe you an explanation.” He walked quickly, taking long strides, and Leng Yu Yan was almost pulled along by him. “Your Highness, slow down.” She quickened her pace and reminded him in a lowered voice, “Your eyes, your eyes!” Hearing this, Ye Yiheng’s stern face softened a bit—she still cared about him. They finally returned to the Eastern Palace, and Leng Yu Yan thought he would take her back to the bedroom and close the door to explain things properly, but instead, he took her to Ling Lang’s study. Inside the study, Ling Lang was flipping through medical books. Seeing the two enter, he quickly put down the book and rose to bow, “Your Highnesses!” Ye Yiheng gestured with his fingers for him to sit, then pulled Leng Yu Yan to sit across from him. “Explain to me why there are rumors outside that I have a hidden illness.” Upon hearing this, Ling Lang knew that Leng Yu Yan was aware that the Crown Prince did not have a hidden illness. Thıs content belongs to 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱 The Crown Prince had always claimed to have a hidden illness to keep her by his side, and now he was actually seeking someone to explain. And that someone wasn’t just anyone. But after all, he was the Crown Prince’s Poison Detection Master. Ling Lang’s thoughts quickly turned, and he candidly spoke, “When the Crown Prince previously had an abundance of toxins in his body, even a kiss with the Crown Princess Consort could trigger the cold disease. The Imperial Hospital’s inept physicians, believing the cold disease acted up due to the toxins, thought the Crown Prince was impotent.” “The Crown Princess Consort, being the Linqing Pavilion Master, of course understands that the criteria to judge potency or impotence is not based on this, she must see for herself.” “However, the Imperial Hospital’s inept physicians thought otherwise; they stubbornly came to a unified conclusion, saying the Crown Prince had a hidden illness.” Leng Yu Yan’s eyebrows were tightly knitted, her voice was clear and crisp, “My question is, if the Crown Prince clearly did not have a hidden illness, why did he keep telling me that he did? What’s the reason for this?” Her tone carried an unmistakable anger. Outside the study, Song Guo, Miao Zhu, Mo Chen, and Ruofeng heard this and were all simultaneously shocked. The fools turned out to be them!
