Chapter 714: Chapter 714: He is Really Anxious He was simply too curious! This mental activity had occupied him for quite a while, as he feared that he might not dare to look in the end. Other princes had concubines or mistresses at an early age, but he was different. When it was time for him to have a concubine or mistress, the palace had arranged it, but he had refused. Later, when rumors spread that he had a hidden illness, the palace simply stopped making arrangements, and he was actually happy for the peace. He had thought he was not fond of women, and had always disliked having women close to him. Only now did he realize that he just hadn’t met the right person. Meeting her, he finally understood what the term “lust” really meant. And because of meeting her, he realized he only desired her. He pinched her wrist, and unless he intended to let go, under normal circumstances, she could not break free. Thinking of this, Leng Yu Yan simply stopped struggling and obediently followed him. “Your Highness, can you not look?” her voice was very soft, “I promised a bath together, Your Highness, is that alright?” “Are you shy?” Ye Yiheng stopped and looked at her. Leng Yu Yan pursed her lips and nodded, “Shyness is one thing, and also, you just can’t look.” Ye Yiheng knew she was just being bashful and squeezed her shoulders, not exposing her. Fearing that he would disagree, Leng Yu Yan reached for his hand, her voice tender as she called him, “Your Highness, may I help you undress?” Ye Yiheng was taken aback. Was she trying to please him? He stood opposite her, his eyes fixed on her with a shallow smile. This made Leng Yu Yan’s scalp tense, and she had no choice but to lower her eyelashes and reach for his sash. Ye Yiheng spread his arms in cooperation. The two of them were standing in the hallway leading to the bathroom, where a window was located on the side of the hallway. Unlike the windows inside the bathroom, all the windows inside had curtains or screens to block the view, so one could not see the bathtub or dressing area from outside. However, the window along the hallway from the bedroom to the bathroom only had a window gauze, without any curtains or screens blocking it. Usually, the eunuchs and palace maids could approximately tell whether the master had finished bathing through this window, and could prepare to go in and serve at any time. At the moment, the silhouettes of the two were reflected on this window. Although there was a window gauze in between, their figures could still be vaguely seen. Song Guo was leading a group of palace maids and eunuchs standing outside the window, ready to attend to duties such as adjusting the water temperature or changing the water in the entire bath. What surprised Song Guo was that today, the two Your Highnesses stood at the doorway to the bathroom for quite a long time, unexpectedly making him witness them standing face to face. Although the precise actions were unclear, he could roughly guess that it seemed the Crown Princess Consort was helping the Crown Prince undress. He quickly waved to the group of palace maids and eunuchs behind him, “Go, go, go, all of you go, this must not be watched!” The palace maids and eunuchs bowed and retreated, and Song Guo also walked away. He only stopped walking when he could no longer see the window, and then he sighed deeply. Miao Zhu quietly stood beside him and deliberately asked loudly, “Hey, why are you here?” Googlᴇ search 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩 Her voice was quite loud, giving Song Guo a start. He gave her a sidelong glance, “During a fight, I always let you win.” Miao Zhu put her hands on her hips, tilted her head, and snorted, “Who knows, besides, if it weren’t for Mo Chen causing trouble, I would have won earlier.” Song Guo smacked his lips, wanted to say something, but ultimately did not. Miao Zhu continued, “Why are you standing here tonight? Shouldn’t you be over there in case the water temperature is wrong?” If the water temperature was wrong, if it was cold, they needed to burn some firewood underneath the bathtub; if it was hot, they needed to add cold water. In any case, the bathtub was too large, and there were many issues, and it was cumbersome. Song Guo honestly replied, “The two Your Highnesses were standing by the hallway window, and as the person in charge, I should be observant.” “Then why the sigh?” asked Miao Zhu. “I notice that Their Highnesses seem quite fond of each other, yet they still haven’t consummated their marriage. It really makes one anxious!” Miao Zhu laughed aloud, “It’s really the case where the eunuch is more anxious than the Crown Prince himself!” Having been scolded again, and rightfully so, Song Guo sighed, “What can be done?” Miao Zhu thought for a moment and then said, “This matter is for Their Highnesses to decide. Whenever they wish to proceed, they will. All we can do is ensure they share a loving relationship and take good care of their daily needs. Such significant matters are not for us to influence.” Song Guo suddenly smiled, “It’s rare for you to make sense.” “You!” Miao Zhu stomped her foot indignantly, “I said the Crown Prince is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is! You just keep being anxious!” With that, she walked away huffily. Song Guo rubbed his face with his hand, he truly was anxious. The Crown Princess Consort was such a wonderful person. The Crown Prince really should make his move soon! A husband and wife, only with real progress can they be called a true married couple! The Crown Prince, lonely by himself, and now that he finally had the Crown Princess Consort, he should try every means to keep her by his side, perhaps by having a brood of children… He really was anxious, wishing he could lock the two Highnesses in a room and throw them onto a bed. But he was merely a eunuch, and could not overstep the bounds of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Consort. The lights were bright at Prince Zhenbei Mansion. The guards that had been dispatched were gradually returning. Leng Yuqing, upon learning that on the twenty-seventh of May, large items had left the capital through two city gates, discussed with Mi Xinrong. “I think we should check along the routes corresponding to these two gates.” Mi Xinrong nodded gratefully, “The more time passes, the more anxious I become. I admire your calm analysis, General!” Leng Yuqing waved his hand, “Let’s not talk about admiration. The urgent matter is to find the person swiftly.” He clasped his hands behind his back and looked out of the window towards the sky, “The criminals, carrying a person, wouldn’t move fast. But as days have passed, setting out from the capital to search presents some difficulties. I will assign two teams of soldiers to you, depart as soon as possible.” Mi Xinrong bowed in thanks, “Thank you, General!” Leng Yuqing handed over a token to him, “Take this. The two teams of soldiers will follow your command.” Mi Xinrong knelt on one knee, receiving the token with both hands. Having received the token, Mi Xinrong left the room, taking the two teams of elite soldiers away from Prince Zhenbei Mansion. In a remote small town, a courtyard housed a room with two wooden plank beds placed side by side. On the beds, Mi Xinmei and Lai Manting lay on the left and right, respectively. Unlike Lai Manting, who lay quietly, Mi Xinmei struggled to get out of bed. But before her toes could even touch the floor, she was pushed back onto the bed. “Let go of me, you damned bullies!” Mi Xinmei struggled fiercely, her sweaty, tousled hair sticking to her forehead. Two men held her down, one pressing on her arms and the other on her legs. No matter how she struggled, it was useless. The two men pressed down hard, and, getting tired, looked simultaneously towards Ghost Face. Ghost Face picked up a sharp knife, examining it intently, focused on its sharpness. Soon, he ran the pad of his thumb across the blade to test its sharpness. The blade was extremely sharp, and behind his mask, he smiled before ordering the two men, “Tie this Miss Mi’s arms and legs to the bed.” Both men responded in unison, “Alright.” One of them fetched a rope from nearby and tossed a bundle to the other. They began tying her up separately. Regardless of how Mi Xinmei squirmed and struggled, more rope was wrapped around her until her limbs could no longer move.
