On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 210 - Bumping into His Arms
Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Bumping into His Arms Chapter 210 -210: Bumping into His Arms Upon hearing this, Ye Yiheng stopped in his tracks and slightly turned his head, yet he didn’t answer.
After a moment of silence, he pushed open the window and leaped out, disappearing into the vast night.
Leng Yu Yan gave a cool smile. He wouldn’t even deign to give her a reason?
If she owed him anything in her previous life, she would repay it!
If he had developed feelings for her, whatever he liked, she would change!
But he said nothing.
She also didn’t know how he had gotten in; she had clearly asked Miao Zhu to check the doors and windows. She sighed, walked over to the window, and closed it anew.
The Crown Prince, acting like a thief, was quite deft in his movements.
Leng Yu Yan lay back down in bed, cursing someone a hundred and eighty times, before finally falling into a deep sleep.
When she woke in the early morning, her ankle no longer hurt, and the high fever had completely subsided.
Leng Yu Yan took the herbal medicine from her wallet, ground it carefully into powder, and then instructed Miao Zhu to prepare a decoction. Halfway through the process, she sprinkled in the medicine powder and boiled it together for another two hours.
Only then was the medicine for the Yun Family ready.
After so much trouble gathering herbs on the mountain, it had yielded just this one bowl.
No matter what, she couldn’t waste the medicine.
So, she instructed Miao Zhu to carefully carry it, and together master and servant went to the Yun Family’s quarters.
At the main courtyard of the Prince Mansion.
Lai Ran was chatting with Mrs. Yun when he saw his daughter coming over and smiled, beckoning her over.
Leng Yu Yan bowed slightly, “Father King, Mother’s medicine is ready. Let’s try this bowl first.”
If it proved effective, she would continue to gather more.
Mrs. Yun, seeing the bowl of medicine, grumbled, “I don’t want to take medicine!”
Lai Ran was extremely patient, “Be good, this medicine was personally gathered by our daughter. What filial piety!”
Mrs. Yun’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Mian’er gathered this medicine?”
“Yes, Mian’er!” Lai Ran nodded, promptly feeding her spoon by spoon.
Seeing them so affectionate, Leng Yu Yan smiled faintly.
Just then, the butler came to report.
“Three young ladies have arrived at the entrance of the Prince Mansion, claiming to be the Commandery Princess’s good friends.”
“Three of them?”
“Yes, three. And one of them said that she used to call the Commandery Princess ‘big sister’ in the past.”
“I know who they are. Quickly, have them come to my courtyard.” Leng Yu Yan said to Lai Ran and Mrs. Yun with a slight bow, “Please excuse me, Father, Mother, I will take my leave now.”
After walking a few steps, she turned back, “Father King, mother will fall asleep after taking the medicine; it’s due to the potion, so please don’t worry.”
Lai Ran nodded, “Alright, go ahead.”

Reunited with Lai Jiajia, Mi Xinmei, and Luo Meng’er after a long separation, Leng Yu Yan warmly invited them to sit and ordered Miao Zhu to serve tea and refreshments.
“We three couldn’t go to the palace banquet, so we couldn’t know firsthand, the famous Princess Beilan is our good friend!” Luo Meng’er sat down first, saying with a smile.
Mi Xinmei followed her lead and sat down: “Yes, and now all is well. The incident that happened at the Imperial College’s archery competition half scares me to death when I think of it now. If I were in that situation, I really wouldn’t know how to carry on.”
Only Lai Jiajia stood behind them, pursing her lips for quite some time.
Leng Yu Yan walked over and took her hand, “So you don’t want to acknowledge me as your big sister anymore?”
“But you are not my big sister anymore.”
Tears suddenly fell from Lai Jiajia’s big eyes.
Leng Yu Yan laughed, her laughter soon turning into tears, “Silly girl, your surname is Leng, and mine is too, how could I not be your elder sister?”
Lai Jiajia’s tears broke into a smile as she threw herself into Leng Yu Yan’s embrace, “Sister, I’ve missed you so much! There’s been no news of you for months, and our parents have been beside themselves with worry.”
“They originally wanted to come, but considering the delicate relations between Prince Zhenbei Mansion and Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion and the fact that our family is from the second branch, they felt it would be inappropriate to do so.”
“My younger brother also said, ‘Now that sister has become Princess Beilan, has she forgotten the vengeance for Leng Yi, our eldest brother?'”
“It’s I who should visit uncle and aunt,” Leng Yu Yan sobbed and shook her head, “I have always remembered brother’s vengeance.”
“As long as you remember!” Lai Jiajia cried again, and then quickly laughed, “That old hag at home has been having nightmares for days. She says that she didn’t kill your mother and that she shouldn’t keep haunting her.”
Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan pondered, the medicine powder Qiubo Dongyan had secretly administered was finally taking effect.
She hoped it wouldn’t be long before she could learn the reasons and process behind her mother’s murder.
The four girls gathered together, laughing and crying as they poured out their mutual longing for one another. Before long, they grew tired of tears and started whispering secrets amongst themselves.
After lunch at Prince Zhenbei Mansion, they spent the afternoon together; not long after, Lai Jiajia, Mi Xinmei, and Luo Meng’er bade farewell.
Leng Yu Yan personally escorted them to the mansion’s main gate.
Before boarding the horse carriage, Mi Xinmei whispered to Leng Yu Yan, “My elder brother went on a long trip at the end of June, and he sent a letter a few days ago saying he’ll be arriving in the capital soon.”
“Although I don’t know what business took him out of town, he mentioned in his letter that if I saw you, I must inform you of this.”
Leng Yu Yan nodded gratefully, “Okay!”
Mi Xinmei lowered her voice conspiratorially, “Yu Yan, did you heal my brother’s leg?”
Leng Yu Yan’s heart shivered, “Did your brother tell you?”
“No, I guessed it,” Mi Xinmei bit her lip and whispered, “My brother has never taken women seriously, but I’ve seen him looking at a recipe several times with very beautiful handwriting; I guess it was yours.”
Leng Yu Yan held a finger to her lips to signal silence, “You must keep the healing of the leg a secret!”
Mi Xinmei nodded in agreement, “I understand, Yu Yan, what I’m trying to say is, my brother probably likes you!”
Leng Yu Yan shook her head, “He is merely grateful to me. Please don’t overthink it.”
“Is it just that?” Mi Xinmei asked, puzzled.
If only Yu Yan could become her sister-in-law, how wonderful that would be!
At that moment, Lai Jiajia, who had already boarded the carriage, poked her head out, “Xinmei, you’re talking so much with my sister, I’m getting jealous.”
They all giggled together.
Leng Yu Yan patted Mi Xinmei’s arm, “Go back now, be careful on the road.”
Mi Xinmei looked at the increasingly beautiful Leng Yu Yan and uttered a simple, “Okay.”
She was only fifteen, yet already so stunningly beautiful, surpassing even an immortal in looks. If she were to grow even more in two years, what breathtaking beauty she would possess.
Such a beautiful person, too precious for just friendship, it would be better to be related!
After seeing off the three friends, Leng Yu Yan was about to turn around when another horse carriage came charging in.
“Ah Yan.”
Hearing the familiar voice, Leng Yu Yan paused.
Ji Qingyu jumped down from the carriage, “Mother sent me with orange wine, perfect for drinking in the summer heat.”

Hearing this, the cravings in her stomach instantly emerged, and Leng Yu Yan smiled her thanks.
“Why thank you? Mother came in a rush last time and couldn’t see you; she asked when would you visit our house?” As he spoke, Ji Qingyu ordered Leng Song to move the orange wine into the Prince Mansion.
Leng Yu Yan was entirely unaware that the Eldest Princess and Marquis Jiangyang had visited the Prince Mansion, so she asked, “What did my aunt come for?”
Ji Qingyu was too embarrassed to say that he had invited his parents over to discuss a marriage proposal, which was politely declined by the old Princess Consort.
Instead, he said, “Mother came to visit the old Princess Consort.”
“Oh, I see,” Leng Yu Yan wiped the faint sweat from her forehead, “It’s too hot outside, let’s go inside the mansion.”
The two walked shoulder to shoulder into the mansion, chatting and laughing. As they rounded the corner from the screen wall, Leng Yu Yan bumped into the stern-faced Ye Yiheng.
