Chapter 750: Chapter 750: Pushing Down onto the Bed Ye Yiheng patted Baili Zhengrong on the head, his voice like a gust of cold wind. “You must have forgotten,” he said, “when Leng Yu Yan saved you, had I resolutely refused her aid, could you have stayed by her side?” “I care not for your true identity; so long as you are a servant of Prince Zhenbei Mansion or the Eastern Palace, then you are a servant for life!” “Being a servant, how dare to covet your female master?” Baili Zhengrong struggled, kicking wildly, but since Mo Chen Ruofeng had lifted him up high, his tiptoes couldn’t even touch the ground. This embarrassing situation made him cry out in desperation, “She’s my sister! Since she has come to Nandian, she is a Nandian person. From now on, I will not allow you to bully her!” ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕥⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥 Ye Yiheng casually threw out a sentence that silenced Baili Zhengrong. “She is my wife; what I do needs no questioning by you.” Baili Zhengrong glared with furious eyes: “You!” Ye Yiheng glanced at the room on the opposite second floor before turning and entering his own room. Only then did Mo Chen Ruofeng set Baili Zhengrong down. Mo Chen demanded, “Xiaoshan, why didn’t you reveal your identity as a Nandian Prince earlier?” Ruofeng, too, questioned, “Have you been plotting to hide your identity all along, intending to abduct our Crown Princess Consort?” Baili Zhengrong rubbed his arms that had been restrained and snorted, “Now that the Commandery Princess is my sister, protecting her safety is my duty. You two better not become someone’s accomplice!” Mo Chen scoffed, “Even if you are now the Prince of Nandian, you are still a servant of Tiansheng East Palace, so don’t be ungrateful!” Miao Zhu spotted Baili Zhengrong being bullied from a distance and ran over, pointing at Mo Chen Ruofeng’s nose and scolding, “You two have received so many benefits from the Commandery Princess in the past, not to mention the red packets; and now you betray her for Yinhui!” Having said that, she grabbed Baili Zhengrong’s sleeve, “Xiaoshan, let’s go!” The next evening, Baili Zhengrong sought Leng Yu Yan to discuss their strategy. Currently, he couldn’t even secure his position within the Nandian Imperial Family, how could he contend with the Tiansheng Crown Prince? He also understood that there was a vast gap between him and Ye Yiheng, and if he tried to compete with Ye Yiheng now, he would only be defeated. While he couldn’t overcome Ye Yiheng at the moment, they could take action against Baili Wenyi. After sharing this thought with Leng Yu Yan, he added, “Sister, since that man has bullied you, let’s get our revenge through Baili Wenyi.” Leng Yu Yan nodded. Baili Wenyi had once tried to kill Xiaoshan; it was time to settle the score. She had been bullied and humiliated by that sinister madman the previous night, so she would take her revenge through Baili Wenyi. Currently, Baili Wenyi was close to Ye Yiheng, and both the Emperor of Tiansheng and Emperor Nandian wanted to pair up Ye Yiheng and Baili Wenyi… She couldn’t change the Emperor of Tiansheng’s perspective. But for Emperor Nandian, she had to try, to let him see just how cruel Baili Wenyi truly was. Baili Wenyi, who was so intent on killing Xiaoshan, surely had blood on her hands. It was imaginable that the deaths or secret assassinations of princes near Nandian were somehow connected to Baili Wenyi. Having concluded as much, she decided to reveal Baili Wenyi’s true colors to Emperor Nandian! “Xiaoshan, let’s go to the palace and find your mother.” “Alright, we’ll go right now.” Having agreed upon their plan, the two left the hostel together. Unbeknownst to her, a pair of deep eyes had been watching Leng Yu Yan’s silhouette intently, only withdrawing his gaze after she had left the hostel and turned the corner. Princess Consort Yu was delighted to hear that the young girl had come to seek her out, immediately ordering her servants to set up a plate of chilled fruits. Baili Zhengrong couldn’t suppress the joy in his mother’s eyes towards Leng Yu Yan, feeling a sweet sense of contentment at the bottom of his heart. Compared to the Emperor of Tiansheng, Ye Yuan’s dislike of Leng Yu Yan, his parents’ fondness for her gave him a much better chance than Ye Yiheng. Leng Yu Yan was completely unaware of what they were thinking in their hearts, sitting down dutifully and nibbling on the fruits before asking, “Princess, I would like to understand the circumstances surrounding the princes’ premature deaths.” Princess Consort Yu’s smile faded, her expression grew heavy as she said, “Calculating it out, the Emperor had more than ten sons at first, a few fell prey to the infighting between the concubines. Some didn’t survive birth, while others, though born, perished prematurely.” “Later, when Imperial Concubine’s power rose, suspicions arose among the concubines that the premature deaths of the princes were related to her.” “But at that time, the Emperor’s chronic illness worsened by the day. Despite the severity, the Emperor still dispatched people to investigate the successive premature deaths of his sons.” Baili Zhengrong hurriedly asked, “What were the results of the investigation?” Princess Consort Yu shook her head, “The result of the investigation was that there was no result, and the power of Imperial Concubine continued to grow. Up until now, the demise of the princes remains an unsolved case.” Baili Zhengrong angrily said, “Mother, I have been repeatedly targeted for assassination in Tiansheng, and this cannot be disconnected with Imperial Concubine and Baili Wenyi!” Princess Consort Yu nodded, her tone somber, “The assassination attempts, including the killing of older princes, have indeed been orchestrated by someone. But currently, there is no evidence to prove that it’s the doing of Imperial Concubine or Baili Wenyi, and that’s the tricky part.” Leng Yu Yan asked, “Does that mean we’re lacking evidence?” “Exactly,” replied Princess Consort Yu, nodding again, “If the Emperor had evidence, it wouldn’t just be as simple as sending the Imperial Concubine to the cold palace.” “Having committed so many atrocities, there should be some traces left behind,” Leng Yu Yan spoke gravely, “Xiaoshan has been repeatedly targeted for assassination and, although he has now been named Crown Prince, I fear the danger remains. The danger will only increase because of his status as Crown Prince. Our priority now is to start looking for clues.” Princess Consort Yu was pleasantly surprised to find the young girl before her so considerate of Xiaoshan’s welfare and asked, “Do you have any ideas?” Leng Yu Yan replied, “Searching for clues may be difficult, but I can certainly try.” Princess Consort Yu grasped her hand with joy, “Having you by Xiaoshan’s side is truly a blessing for him!” It was then that a palace maid entered to report, “Princess, the Emperor has invited the Tiansheng Crown Prince to discuss his marriage with Princess Wen Yi. Would you like to take a trip over?” Princess Consort Yu replied calmly, “I have distinguished guests here, so I won’t be going.” She wasn’t Baili Wenyi’s mother, why should she get involved in her affairs? Leng Yu Yan felt a twinge of pain in her heart upon hearing what the palace maid said. When Princess Consort Yu invited her to stay for the meal, she didn’t hesitate to accept. However, during the meal, she hardly touched the food, though she did drink a fair amount of wine. The wine of Nandian didn’t seem intoxicating when drunk. Unexpectedly, after returning to the hostel, she became helplessly drunk. Late at night, Ye Yiheng sneaked into her room. Seeing Miao Zhu asleep on a couch nearby, he ordered Mo Chen Ruofeng to take her away. Now, only she remained, sleeping on the bed, and he stood there, looking at her with a dark, brooding face. Hearing she had been drinking with Baili Zhengrong at Princess Consort Yu’s place made him irritable. He had come to find her, intending to punish her, even to take her by force. Ye Yiheng sat down at the edge of the bed, seizing her chin, and asked through gritted teeth, “Do you know what the consequences of running away from me are?” Unexpectedly, she, in her slumber, threw herself into his arms, her small hands caressing his lower back incessantly. Ye Yiheng’s spine tensed up in a moment, and with that, he pushed her down onto the bed…
