Chapter 745: Chapter 745: Crown Prince’s Stubbornness Leng Yu Yan quietly tugged at Baili Zhengrong’s sleeve and whispered, “I want to leave.” The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩 She didn’t want to see him. At this moment, she stood several meters away from him, yet even at such a distance, she could feel his invisible oppressive aura. If she were to step forward, she would undoubtedly lose her composure. Baili Zhengrong nodded and turned to Baili Shuo, “Father Emperor…” Before he could continue, Ye Yiheng interrupted loudly, “As a citizen of Tiancheng, did you register at the government office before leaving Tiancheng?” His eyelids sharply raised, his narrow phoenix eyes fiercely stared at Leng Yu Yan. His gaze, cold as a sword, carried an endless chill. Such a gaze swept across her face, indifferent as if he did not recognize her. Leng Yu Yan didn’t know the purpose of his words, nor why he had come to Nandian. But he hadn’t exposed her identity, so presumably, Ye Yuan had already decreed to abandon her. As long as he didn’t trouble her or take her life, it was quite good for them to be like strangers at the moment. Baili Shuo said, “Girl, just speak, the Heir of Tiancheng will ensure justice for you.” Leng Yu Yan could only admit honestly, “It’s true I didn’t register in the Tiancheng government office when I came to Nandian.” Baili Zhengrong quickly explained, “Father Emperor, someone attempted to assassinate your son, and I brought my sister back to Nandian. On the way, we dared not have much contact with others, so we didn’t register at the Tiancheng government office before leaving Tiancheng.” Baili Shuo then turned toward Ye Yiheng with a smile, “Your Highness, as you see, this matter is minor; just have the girl complete the registration later.” Ye Yiheng remained silent. The situation turned awkward. Leng Yu Yan bowed to Baili Shuo, “Nandian Emperor, I’m feeling unwell, probably suffering from heatstroke due to the hot weather. May I leave this place now?” Upon hearing about the heatstroke, Baili Shuo hurried, “Zhengrong, quickly take the girl to rest in the side hall. Fetch more ice from the ice cellar.” We mustn’t let the girl get overheated! Leng Yu Yan said, “I’ll just return to the hostel, no need to trouble you.” “The sun is scorching outside, won’t that worsen the heatstroke if you go back ?” “Big sister, let’s go to the side hall.” Baili Zhengrong’s eyes met hers, as if to say that they were in Nandian and she need not fear Ye Yiheng. Leng Yu Yan nodded and left the main hall together with Baili Zhengrong. Inside the side hall, Leng Yu Yan quietly asked, “Xiaoshan, he has come. Is he here to accuse me?” After all, she had drugged him, causing him to sleep for three days. She understood that anyone would be uncomfortable being drugged. Especially someone as unpredictable as him. Baili Zhengrong tried to reassure her, his voice gentle, “Big sister, don’t fear, I will go ask.” Leng Yu Yan held his sleeve, “Sorry, Xiaoshan, don’t go. I fear if you leave, he will come here.” At this point, if she and that individual were to be together in one room again, it would only be awkward and uncomfortable. “Big sister, are you so afraid of him?” Baili Zhengrong knew his question was redundant, but he asked anyway. In the Tiancheng East Palace, he knew full well she feared Ye Yiheng, but he did not know why. Leng Yu Yan honestly nodded, “I’ve always been afraid.” “Big sister, rest assured, I will always be here!” At this moment, he truly wanted to embrace her, but as a Commandery Princess, sacred and pure, how could he defile her before he declared his feelings, and without her agreement? “Go and ask why the Tiancheng Crown Prince has come to Nandian?” Lv Zhong bowed and accepted the command. At that moment, a group of eunuchs brought over more than ten trays of ice, and soon many palace maids stood behind the trays, fanning, and the side hall cooled down instantly. Though her body was cooled, Leng Yu Yan’s heart could not calm down, fearing that someone had come to Nandian to look for her. Before long, Lv Zhong returned and told Baili Zhengrong, “Your Highness, the Tiancheng Crown Prince says he is here on a state visit because Princess Wen Yi visited Tiancheng. It’s a courtesy exchange, and he mentioned no other reason.” Baili Zhengrong nodded and waved for Lv Zhong to step down. Hearing what Lv Zhong had said, Leng Yu Yan slightly relaxed, as long as that person hadn’t come because of her. But her intuition still told her that this person’s visit to Nandian had something to do with her. Unexpectedly, after staying in the side hall for more than one hour, an eunuch came to relay the message that the Tiancheng Crown Prince had already left the main hall. Leng Yu Yan relaxed a little. Upon hearing that a young girl had entered the palace, Princess Consort Yu sent someone to invite her. To avoid encountering that person while leaving the palace, Leng Yu Yan went to Princess Consort Yu’s palace. Meanwhile, Ye Yiheng was led by a Nandian official to the hostel. The Posthouse Minister welcomed him warmly, and after a few phrases of flattery, started introducing the layout of the hostel: “These rows of houses are all guestrooms.” He pointed, “The first one on the second floor in the easternmost corner is where Princess Tiancheng is staying, and next to the princess’s room lives our Prince Zhengrong.” His face beamed, “Prince Tiancheng and your esteemed guests may choose whichever rooms you prefer to reside.” Song Guo moved to Ye Yiheng’s side and whispered, “Your Highness, let’s choose the room on the first row of the second floor.” Ye Yiheng indifferently said, “Choose the second row.” The Posthouse Minister agreed and led the posthouse soldiers to help with the luggage. The luggage wasn’t much, and Mo Chen and others were accustomed to handling things themselves, and soon Ye Yiheng’s party had occupied all the rooms both upstairs and downstairs of the second row. Ye Yiheng stood in the room, his cold gaze fixating on the house ahead. Taking advantage of the absence of others nearby, Song Guo puzzledly asked, “Your Highness, why don’t you stay closer to the Crown Princess Consort?” “I already regret coming to Nandian, I don’t want to see her, may I not?” Still unclear, Song Guo thought that since he didn’t want to meet her, why did His Highness choose the first room on the easternmost side of the second floor? From this end of the corridor, one could directly see the back window of the Crown Princess Consort’s room. After pondering for a moment, Song Guo suddenly understood, his master was just being stubborn. Leng Yu Yan had lunch in Princess Consort Yu’s palace and had intended to return to the hostel in the afternoon. The sun blazed down fiercely, but Princess Consort Yu hospitably persuaded her to stay. So, she only returned after having dinner. Back at the hostel, the moment she entered her room, Miao Zhu seized her, “Commandery Princess, something terrible has happened, the Crown Prince has followed us here!” While Leng Yu Yan was in the palace, Miao Zhu had been waiting at the hostel and had seen Ye Yiheng’s group arrive. Leng Yu Yan nodded, “I saw him in the palace.” Miao Zhu exclaimed, “Commandery Princess, I mean to say that the Crown Prince is right now in the hostel, staying in the room behind ours.” Upon hearing this, Leng Yu Yan walked to the back window and pushed it open. The warm evening breeze blew in. She looked up and saw him standing on the opposite corridor. In a moment of shock, she hurriedly closed the window. “Miao Zhu, we need to find another place to stay.” Leng Yu Yan packed her belongings and then murmured softly, “No, we need to leave Nandian Capital City.” Miao Zhu folded the nightgowns lying on the bed, her voice also turning anxious, “Commandery Princess, should we discuss this with Xiaoshan?” Only she was by the Commandery Princess’s side now, and she was unsure of what to do. It would be better if there was another person to discuss this with. Thinking that someone might act quickly, Leng Yu Yan shook her head, “It’s too late, Xiaoshan drank a lot during dinner and is still in the palace.” After a moment’s thought, “Let’s first find an inn to stay in, and leave the capital city early in the morning. We cannot stay here any longer.” Just then, the door creaked open. In this quiet yet frantic night, it sounded like a fatal note.
