Chapter 732: Chapter 732: Far Away from You The Emperor scowled angrily, “How dare you!” “I am merely following what Father Emperor had said,” Leng Yu Yan stated fearlessly. The Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly, his voice cold, “As the Crown Princess Consort, if you do not agree to the Crown Prince marrying another woman, then you lack the demeanor befitting a Crown Princess Consort of a nation. Not only can I depose you from your position at any time, but even the Crown Prince’s position could be jeopardized.” Leng Yu Yan remained silent. Maintaining Ye Yiheng’s position as Crown Prince had taken much effort. Should she antagonize the Emperor and jeopardize his position as Crown Prince, she would be the chief culprit. Seeing her silent, the Emperor’s fury escalated, “Beilan, about today’s matter, I intervened out of respect for Prince Zhenbei Mansion.” He slammed the table, “Now, I tell you, you must agree whether you like it or not. In the coming days, comfort the Crown Prince well and think about how you will get along with Princess Baili Wenyi in the future. If you remain unwilling, request to be deposed yourself, don’t wait for me to issue the decree!” Before Leng Yu Yan could say anything else, the Emperor waved his hand, “You may leave.” At the banquet that evening, the Emperor, like at the luncheon, did not bring up Ye Yiheng’s marriage to Baili Wenyi, but instead mentioned many national affairs concerning Nandian and Tiancheng. In these matters, Ye Yiheng and Baili Wenyi demonstrated perfect harmony, complementing each other. After listening, the Emperor nodded in satisfaction, commending Ye Yiheng while also praising Baili Wenyi. At the same time, he occasionally glanced at Leng Yu Yan, as if to show her that Ye Yiheng and Baili Wenyi were a better match. Leng Yu Yan calmed down instead. Having learned the previous day that her previous self had been killed by Ye Yiheng, she was bewildered and desperate. Today, when the Emperor threatened to place someone in the Eastern Palace and threaten her position as Crown Princess Consort, she suddenly saw things clearly. Perhaps it truly was time to leave someone! In her previous life, she had repeatedly tried to escape him. In this life, since arriving in the capital city last spring, she had wanted to leave him, but ended up entangled with him. Now, it was time she understood. For her previous self, for the small life that had once been in her womb, in this life, she should be her true self! After the banquet ended, Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan returned to the Eastern Palace. They walked slowly toward the bedroom, and Ye Yiheng suddenly asked, “I heard Father Emperor sought you out this afternoon.” “Yes,” Leng Yu Yan replied, “Father Emperor saw me walking alone outside the hall and came to chat.” “Your Highness, are you going back to the study, or directly to the bedroom?” “There are still some petitions I haven’t finished reviewing,” he said. “I will escort you to the bedroom and then go to the study.” Suddenly, Leng Yu Yan teared up, grasping his fingers tenderly, “Okay.” Just let her walk this path with him a little longer. The biggest mistake of this life was that she had fallen for the enemy of her past life. But if she continued to live with him, she would not be able to forgive herself. They had been married for just over a month in this life; in her dreams of her past life, several months after their marriage, she was killed by him. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵 So, it seemed that the events from her dream were not far off. She valued her life, so she needed to escape! She was also petty, unwilling to share her husband with another woman. With the Emperor consistently disfavoring her and the Prince Zhenbei Mansion, faced with the Emperor-backed Baili Wenyi, what could she do to compete? Could she rely on Ye Yiheng’s affection for her? How laughable; if he could kill her in a previous life, what about in this life? Ye Yiheng suddenly grasped her hand back, noticing it was cold, and asked worriedly, “Are you unwell, why are your hands cold?” Leng Yu Yan forced a smile and made up an excuse, her tone steady, “Maybe it’s because I sweated earlier.” Soon, they arrived outside the bedroom. Leng Yu Yan stood in the corridor, watching him walk towards the small building. Once his figure disappeared around the corner, she immediately entered the room to prepare the medicine. She needed to make a medicine quickly, one that could make him sleep for ten to fifteen days. If not, she couldn’t escape from the palm of his hand. As she opened the medicine box to prepare the medicine, her hand suddenly stopped. There was still residual poison in his body, and it was not suitable for him to sleep for too long. Moreover, it was widely rumored that he was weak and sickly. If he slept for too long, the outside world would only confirm his weak condition, which would not benefit his position as the Crown Prince. She decided to make a medicine that would make him sleep for three days. By then, she would have already left the capital city. As long as she wore the Human Skin Mask, it would be very difficult for him to find her in this vast world. The medicine was quickly made. Late at night, Ye Yiheng returned from the study. Leng Yu Yan brought a bowl of soup to him: “Your Highness, you drank quite a lot of alcohol in the palace today. This soup can alleviate the effects of alcohol. Please drink it quickly.” Ye Yiheng never doubted what she made. His slender, jade-like fingers took the soup bowl, and he drank all the soup in a few gulps. Leng Yu Yan’s eyes suddenly welled up with tears, and she quickly turned around and blinked. Ye Yiheng placed the bowl on the table and embraced her from behind: “Yanyan is really good, always thinking of me.” A tear fell from the corner of Leng Yu Yan’s eyes. She quickly wiped it away, then turned around and embraced his waist. She hugged him tightly that night. Ye Yiheng’s lips curved into a blissful arc, and he murmured, “What’s wrong, do you want to cling to me?” Leng Yu Yan pushed him away: “Not at all. I wish I could stay far away from you!” Ye Yiheng laughed, released her, and jokingly pointed at her forehead: “You can try.” “This is what Your Highness said.” Leng Yu Yan half-jokingly ran to one side. Ye Yiheng’s long legs moved quickly, and he caught her in no time. He held her delicate, thin wrist with one hand and placed the other on her lower back, his thin lips covering her soft lips. With just a light touch, he released her lips, his voice teasing, “You can’t escape.” Leng Yu Yan smiled, her eyes brimming with tears. She really was going to escape! Ye Yiheng kissed her forehead again: “Wait for me, I’ll wash up quickly.” She smiled, “Alright.” Then she quickly lay down on the bed. He was right, he took a quick shower and lay down beside her. Leng Yu Yan turned to look at him, silently calculating the time for the medicine to take effect. Soon, he was completely asleep. She caressed his handsome cheek, her fingertips gently tracing from his brow to his eye, from his high nose bridge to his thin, sexy lips. Suddenly, she burst into tears, the tears falling from her cheeks onto his chest. Facing the enemy of her past life, she couldn’t harden her heart to poison him completely. She couldn’t even bear to make him sleep a few more days. Leng Yu Yan got out of bed, walked a few steps, turned back to take a long, tearful look at him on the bed, walked back to his side, and properly covered him with the thin blanket. Then she resolutely left. The Eastern Palace was almost entirely silent, everyone asleep except for the patrolling guards. Leng Yu Yan put on her night clothes, took her usual medicine box, avoided these guards, and quietly called Miao Zhu, Xiaoshan, and Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Although the six of them didn’t know why their Commandery Princess had woken them, they obediently followed her instructions to dress in night clothes and quietly followed her to Tingfeng Garden. With no one else in Tingfeng Garden, Leng Yu Yan then said, “Tonight, I plan to leave the Eastern Palace. You can decide now whether to stay in the Eastern Palace or leave with me.”
