On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness

The visitor not only wore night clothes but was also masked, preventing Lai Zonghui’s family from seeing their face.

At this critical moment, Lai Zonghui understood the importance of preserving life. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Even if someone invites them to join a camp against the Eastern Palace, Lai Zonghui always feels it’s a trap.

A snare set by the Eastern Palace to eradicate them completely!

Lai Zonghui said, "We don’t want to fight the Eastern Palace."

The visitor laughed, "Don’t want to fight the Eastern Palace?"

"The title is gone, the official position is gone, your son’s future is gone, your daughter has become a beggar’s wife, no longer able to seduce the Crown Prince, and you still don’t want to fight the Eastern Palace?"

"When one day the person from the Eastern Palace ascends the throne, what position will your family have in this world?"

"As long as Tiancheng’s mountain continues to belong to that person from the Eastern Palace, your family will never rise again."

"If you don’t fight, the result will probably be just one word - death!"

"Leng Zongfa is your example!"

Lai Zonghui shook his head in refusal, "I know you’re sent by the Crown Prince to set a trap for me. I’m not that foolish. Although my family is guilty, it’s not deserving of death. If the Crown Prince truly wants to ascend the throne, he needs to have a good reputation. At this critical juncture, if he wants to kill my family, he can only use the trap you’re talking about."

The visitor laughed heartily, "You’re truly naive. Do you think the Crown Prince wants to kill your entire family and needs a plausible excuse?"

"What do you mean?" The visitor’s words made Lai Zonghui’s heart tremble, "Who exactly are you?"

The visitor’s sharp gaze swept through the room, and Lai Xuan immediately knocked the beggar unconscious.

"Indeed, someone trained by the Eastern Palace Dark Guard, perceptive." The visitor clapped, his eyes turned to Lai Jiajia, "Tsk tsk, the face is ruined, but not dead yet. Persuade your father to join us, and your family still has a chance of survival. If you want the Crown Princess Consort dead, it’s not impossible."

Whether the Master agrees or not is another matter.

What he said at this moment seemed even more bewildering to Lai Zonghui.

In his mind, he was searching for which Prince still dared to oppose the Eastern Palace like this.

Lai Jiajia wrapped her body with a blanket and asked sharply, "I want Leng Yu Yan dead. As long as there is this opportunity, I am willing to give it a try." She looked at Lai Zonghui, "Father, let’s agree."

Lai Zonghui remained silent.

Lai Jiajia continued, "Our family’s situation couldn’t be worse, Father, pity your daughter a little, won’t you?"

Ye Yiheng made her marry a beggar, such a terrible humiliation, she wants to double it on Leng Yu Yan.

Lai Zonghui looked at the people in the room and once again cautiously examined the man in black, "Since you’re inviting us to join, you should show sincerity. Wearing a mask like this is insincere."

Leng Song laughed loudly again, and with a yank, he pulled off the mask, introducing himself, "I am someone beside Prince Qing."

Lai Zonghui broke into a cold sweat, "I was present when Prince Qing’s title was stripped, as was Jiajia. You’re not here for revenge, are you?"

After all, the beginning of the matter was the Emperor trying to match Jiajia with Ji Qingyu.

But Jiajia refused, and things evolved over time into the current situation.

Had Jiajia agreed to be with Ji Qingyu at the time, then the Crown Prince and Leng Yu Yan probably wouldn’t have spoken out about Ji Qingyu’s kidnapping incident.

The Ji Family wouldn’t have lost their three titles.

His Marquis title would remain, and Jiajia could naturally become the Princess Consort.

But now, it’s all too late.

Lai Jiajia also seemed to realize this situation.

But saying anything now is too late.

Moreover, she did not know at that time that Ye Yiheng would do so much for Leng Yu Yan.

There is no medicine for regret, nor any chance to redo.

Leng Song said, "Since you know, you have some self-awareness. But my Master is not such a narrow-minded person. He genuinely invites you to join the camp against the Eastern Palace, naturally with sufficient sincerity. Now you remain in the capital city, and every move is under the Eastern Palace’s surveillance, with the risk of losing your life at any moment. My Master commanded me to come and take you out of the capital city."

Lai Jiajia seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, "Can you really take us out of the capital city?"

Leng Song nodded, "Indeed."

"Will Prince Qing kill me?"

Lai Jiajia was well aware of Ji Qingyu’s desire to get Leng Yu Yan.

Leng Song gave no leeway, "If the Master wanted to kill, I would have acted right away. Since I have said so much, obviously, there is no intention of taking your lives. Inviting you to join the camp against the Eastern Palace shows the sincerity, doesn’t it?"

Lai Zonghui raised his hand in a gesture of invitation, "May I ask you to wait next door while I discuss with my family before making a decision."

Leng Song nodded, aware that they couldn’t run away while dragging an injured person, and then left the room.

--

Night was deep.

Within the Eastern Palace, the lights were bright.

An Shiba reported to Ye Yiheng in a small study, "Your Highness, the newcomer has consummated the marriage."

Ye Yiheng remained expressionless, "Very good."

An Shiba continued, "Lai Jiajia is indeed vicious. Despite suffering such humiliation, she has no intention of seeking death."

As he was reporting, another Hidden Guard entered.

"Crown Prince, I have an urgent report!"

Ye Yiheng spoke indifferently, "Speak."

"After An Shiba left, we continued to observe in secret, and indeed someone came to contact Lai Zonghui."

Ye Yiheng asked, "Who?"

The Hidden Guard replied, "Leng Song, beside Ji Qingyu."

"How bold." Ye Yiheng sneered, "Ji Qingyu’s flaws are becoming more and more exposed."

The Hidden Guard continued, "Lai Jiajia said she wants to slash the Crown Princess Consort’s face, cut her skin piece by piece."

Ye Yiheng’s face suddenly turned grim, "She dares?"

"Now, Lai Zonghui’s family is preparing to leave the capital city with Leng Song." The Hidden Guard bowed and added, "I have come to consult Your Highness’s decision. Should we continue to investigate secretly, or execute them immediately?"

"Since Leng Song is present, it indicates that someone beside Ji Qingyu is hidden in the shadows. If you reveal yourselves, it would indicate to Ji Qingyu that I’ve been watching his every move."

"If that’s the case, then we won’t frighten the snake yet."

Ye Yiheng nodded, "Track them in secret, find where Ji Qingyu settles outside the capital city, and report back."

The Hidden Guard affirmed and prepared to leave but was stopped by Ye Yiheng’s call, "Wait."

The Hidden Guard turned and asked, "What other instructions does the Crown Prince have?"

"Leng Song previously stabbed Mo Chen. For this mission, follow Mo Chen’s arrangements and be sure to uncover Ji Qingyu’s power and their hiding place."

"I obey!" The Hidden Guard cupped his fists and left.

After handling his official duties, Ye Yiheng slowly got up and left the study.

An Shiba followed by his side, "Your Highness, Lai Xuan is also untrustworthy. His mind is equally deep."

"I am aware. You’re good at reading expressions. When I sent you to teach Lai Xuan martial arts, it was for this purpose." After a pause, Ye Yiheng asked, "Now that you’ve completed the task, do you want any reward?"

An Shiba replied straightforwardly, "If the Young Master fancies Chun Liu among the Four Guardians by the Crown Princess Consort, perhaps grant one of the remaining three to me!"
