Chapter 758: Chapter 758: Proof of Marriage Mo Chen Ruofeng immediately stepped in front of Ye Yiheng. Ye Yiheng said indifferently, “My purpose in letting you safely return to the palace was to smoothly obtain evidence of your collusion with others.” He pointed at the “grasshoppers,” “Otherwise, how could these people have shown up on their own initiative?” As the Heir of Tiancheng, finding out which individuals belonged to the Imperial Concubine faction from Nandian wasn’t difficult for him, but it would take some time. Utilizing Baili Wenyi would make the process twice as effective, and the key treasonous individuals would all show up, with very few slipping through the net. Baili Shuo, thinking of so many Princes murdered by the Imperial Concubine and her daughter, felt a heart-wrenching pain: “Bring these poisonous mother and daughter to the Heavenly Prison!” Immediately, the Imperial Guard Army entered. A cold light flashed in Baili Wenyi’s eyes. She darted behind Leng Yu Yan, reached out, and clutched her throat, her long nails digging deeply into the delicate skin of Leng Yu Yan’s neck, instantly seizing her windpipe. Baili Zhengrong let out a shocked cry, wanting to rush forward. Ye Yiheng’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his palm charged with Inner Strength, ready to strike at any moment. Leng Yu Yan bent her elbow and slammed it hard into Baili Wenyi’s stomach. Baili Wenyi, in pain, bent over, and the hand clutching Leng Yu Yan’s neck immediately loosened. Leng Yu Yan took the opportunity to step back two paces, thankful for the past experience of being choked, which allowed her to completely handle Baili Wenyi’s strength. Baili Wenyi unsheathed the Soft Sword from her waist and immediately lunged at Leng Yu Yan’s face. Baili Shuo and Princess Consort Yu were panic-stricken, and both cried out in unison, “Be careful, daughter-in-law!” Leng Yu Yan tapped the ground with the tip of her foot, leaning back and retreating swiftly. Suddenly, she positioned the tip of her right foot sideways, halting her motion. As Baili Wenyi’s Soft Sword was about to pierce her chest, she leaned to the left and, with an aerial somersault, landed behind Baili Wenyi, then immediately landed a kick to her back.

Seeing the young girl successfully escape danger, Baili Shuo and Princess Consort Yu finally relaxed, truly proud of their daughter-in-law! Not to mention her exceptional intelligence and medical skill, her martial prowess was also impressive! Baili Wenyi exclaimed in astonishment, “You know martial arts?” The girl before her appeared so delicate, yet she possessed such high-level skills! Leng Yu Yan smiled lightly, “I’m just a little better than you.” Baili Wenyi turned her gaze to Ye Yiheng and angrily said, “During your time in Nandian, you pretended to have a good relationship with me, just to draw out the officials who support me?” “Pretending to have a good relationship with you, firstly, was to make you let down your guard, and secondly, was to make my Crown Prince Consort jealous.” Ye Yiheng spoke bluntly, “My visit to Nandian was not for anything else, but solely for my wife!” “For her?” Baili Wenyi sneered, “When I went to strangle her neck, why didn’t you help?” Ye Yiheng replied calmly, “I knew her skills far surpassed yours.” Besides, he was always vigilant, ready to rescue her immediately if she truly faced any danger. Their conversation left Baili Shuo and Princess Consort Yu confused and anxious; from Baili Wenyi’s words, it seemed the girl they admired was the wife of the Tiancheng Crown Prince? No, it couldn’t be possible! There must be some misunderstanding! Even as they reassured themselves, Baili Shuo still asked, “Prince Tiancheng, may I inquire which lady present is your Crown Princess Consort?” Princess Consort Yu clutched Baili Shuo’s hand tightly, nervously asking, “Which one is Prince Tiancheng’s Crown Princess Consort?” The many courtiers in the hall began to express their doubts, as the only young women present were Baili Wenyi and Princess Tiancheng. Upon hearing what was just said, could it be that this Princess Tiancheng is… Even the Imperial Concubine, bound by the Imperial Guard Army, was astonishingly shocked. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Yiheng looked toward Leng Yu Yan, smiling brightly like the clear wind and bright moon, ethereal like a fairy, “Yanyan, come here.” “I don’t believe it!” Baili Shuo exclaimed as he stood up, “She is my daughter-in-law! Tiancheng Crown Prince, you must not recklessly claim someone!” The ministers from Nandian whispered among themselves— “The Tiancheng Crown Prince was once blind, so it’s not impossible for him to recognize the wrong person now.” “Yes, this Princess Tiancheng was brought back by Prince Zhengrong, how did she become the Tiancheng Crown Princess Consort?” As for the girl who could cure their Emperor’s headache, safely return their Crown Prince to Nandian, and uncover the truth behind the princes’ untimely deaths and assassinations, from the Royal Family to all officials of the Nandian Court, everyone hoped Ye Yiheng had mistaken her for someone else, and they truly wished for her to stay in Nandian, to marry Baili Zhengrong! Ye Yiheng was caught off guard by this turn of events and found it rather troublesome to acknowledge his own wife. Mo Chen and Ruofeng bowed to Leng Yu Yan in unison, “Please, Crown Princess Consort, follow the Crown Prince back to Tiancheng!” Leng Yu Yan didn’t know how to respond; if she admitted her identity, she could no longer stay in Nandian. Not being able to stay meant she could only follow him back, but if she went with him, would she even have a life to live? For a moment, she could only lower her gaze and remain silent. Upon hearing this, Princess Consort Yu angrily commanded, “This palace does not believe the girl is the Tiancheng Crown Princess Consort, please, Prince Tiancheng, present the evidence!” The ministers joined in agreement, “Yes, please show us the evidence! Please prove the marital relationship!” “Baili Wenyi and Baili Zhengrong both know she is my Crown Princess Consort, what more evidence do you need?” Ye Yiheng said with a laugh tinged with irritation, “Since you ask for it, I can naturally provide it.” As he spoke, he walked over to Leng Yu Yan and with a sweeping arm encircled her slender waist, lifting her chin with his other hand, and directly pressed his thin lips onto her rosy lips. The action was smooth and seamless, the kind only possible with frequent practice. Everyone present was astonished by this, their mouths agape and eyes wide in disbelief. Ye Yiheng kissed her so quickly that Leng Yu Yan was completely unprepared. After pushing him away forcefully, she rebuked, “Ye Yiheng, I am angry with you!” Alright, among those present, who else could call the Tiancheng Heir by his name? The girl is the Tiancheng Crown Princess Consort! A chill ran down Baili Shuo’s spine and he cast Baili Zhengrong a fierce glance. “How can you be so useless?” Yet a glare was nothing but emptiness; he decisively stepped down from the Dragon Chair and walked over to Baili Zhengrong’s side, patting his back several times. Ye Yiheng wiped the corner of his lips, his thumb now glossed with her moisture. He smiled, a smile capturing unparalleled grace. “My Crown Princess Consort and I had a misunderstanding which led to her departure from the capital.” “Baili Zhengrong formerly served as Xiaoshan, the guard beside my Crown Princess Consort, and that is why she came to Nandian.” “She is Princess Zhenbei, Commandery Princess Beilan, Leng Yu Yan, and also my wife, the lawfully married Tiancheng Crown Princess Consort!” As he spoke, he clasped Leng Yu Yan’s hand and intertwined their fingers, “Do you still have any doubts?” Unable to break free, Leng Yu Yan could only ask quietly, “Hasn’t the Emperor issued an imperial decree to depose me as the Crown Princess Consort?” Ye Yiheng gently smiled, “The old man wouldn’t dare.” Baili Shuo struck Baili Zhengrong’s back once more, “Aren’t you going to tell the truth?” Baili Zhengrong defended himself, “Father, I told nothing but the truth, except for not revealing my sister’s identity!” Both Baili Shuo and Princess Consort Yu felt a void in their hearts, the daughter-in-law they had long awaited turned out to belong to another household!
