Chapter 89: Chapter 89: He Took It to Heart
Ye Yiheng’s handsome eyebrows frowned, “Why should I rejoice?”
The leading medical woman explained with a smile, “Miss Lai has just started her menstruation, a sign of great joy, for it signifies that a woman has reached maturity and has the capacity to conceive.”
Hearing this, Ye Yiheng coughed lightly and the hands behind his back moved unnaturally.
Grand Doctor Zeng immediately added, “However, Miss Lai has a cold uterus condition, likely caused by exposure to severe cold in her childhood, which caused her to faint during her first menstruation.”
Ye Yiheng’s cold eyebrows tightened, “How can it be treated?”
“The old servant will prepare a prescription; it will just require gradual convalescence.”
Ye Yiheng raised his hand, signaling for the Imperial Physicians to prepare the prescription.
What severe cold had she encountered in her childhood?
Thinking this, Ye Yiheng hurriedly said to Song Guo, “Go find Miao Zhu.”
Within the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Miao Zhu hurried over.
Upon hearing the Crown Prince’s question, Miao Zhu honestly replied, “Five years ago, the night Miss was thrown into the ravine, it snowed heavily. The carriage driver dumped Miss and her maid in the snow and then disappeared. At that moment, the maid held Miss, feeling her body grow colder inch by inch…”
As she spoke, tears poured down Miao Zhu’s face, “Fortunately, Miss eventually woke up. The maid felt that it must have been then that her illness took root.”
Upon hearing this, the phoenix eyes beneath Ye Yiheng’s eye veil suddenly reddened with rage, those at Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion!

In the bedroom, Leng Yu Yan slowly awoke. Hearing Miao Zhu’s voice, she called out hoarsely, “Miao Zhu…”
Hearing her, Miao Zhu quickly ran inside, “Miss, I am here.”
“Help me go back,” Leng Yu Yan said weakly as she sat up, and only then noticed her body had been cleaned, though she was still in the same clothes.
Seeing her mistress’s confusion, Miao Zhu explained, “The medical women took care of it.”
Upon hearing this, Leng Yu Yan was relieved.
Quickly, Miao Zhu took off her outer garment and draped it over her mistress, helping her out of the bedroom.
Leng Yu Yan bowed towards Ye Yiheng, “Thank you, Your Highness!”
Though he was constantly plotting to take her life, one had to keep issues separate; she ought to thank him for today’s matters.
Ye Yiheng clenched his fist to his lips awkwardly and coughed lightly, then responded with a grunt from the bottom of his throat and looked away.
Standing by, Fan Minmin furiously twisted her handkerchief, her sharp nails tearing several holes in it, yet it did not soothe her anger.
This ugly girl had not died, she was just menstruating.
Just menstruating, and yet her cousin cared so much; what virtues and capabilities did this ugly girl have?
It was truly irritating, causing such a commotion over a menstruation.
Within her heart, Fan Minmin cursed non-stop, stomped her foot, and left the Crown Prince’s bedroom.
After the Imperial Physicians and medical women had also left, Ye Yiheng then raised his hand to press against his temple.
Song Guo stepped forward and whispered in a lowered voice, “Your Highness, there is blood on you, and also on the bed.”
Given how the Crown Prince had earlier held Miss Lai and she had lain on the bed, it seemed likely that His Highness would want all the bedding and robes changed; perhaps he wished he could burn them all now.
Ye Yiheng looked down emotionlessly, noticing the blood in front of him and on his sleeves, then looked towards the bed, where there was also blood.
“Burn them.”
His voice was indifferent, showing no emotion.
Song Guo nodded respectfully, “Yes, Your Highness.”
As he spoke, he instructed someone to tidy up the bed and attend to the Crown Prince changing his clothes.
As the palace maids and eunuchs were about to take the robes and bedding away, Ye Yiheng suddenly called out, “Wait!”
Everyone stopped in their tracks, “Your Highness?”
“Ah…” Ye Yiheng coughed again, “Put them in the storeroom, lock it up.”
Out of sight, out of mind. Perhaps that was the best way to deal with it.
Yes, that was it!
Song Guo pursed her lips into a smile and called out to the people, “Why aren’t you going yet?”
The crowd was confused; their master seemed a bit unusual today!
In the past, anything he disliked or loathed would be dealt with or even burned.
Today, he had actually locked it away!
Elsewhere, Leng Yu Yan returned to Tingfeng Garden, took out her homemade painkiller, swallowed one pill, and felt much of the pain dissipate.
Only then did she have the strength to change her clothes.
Thinking back to her return to the Eastern Palace, how that person had held her, she felt somewhat uneasy.
No matter what, she ought to thank him.
She’d figure out something to thank him later, so as not to owe him anything.
At the Crown Prince’s bedroom, Ye YiHeng suddenly remembered, Ji Qingyu wasn’t blind and always favored beauty, so how could he be attracted to Leng Yu Yan’s plain appearance?
Could it be that Leng Yu Yan was hiding something from him?
“Someone come!”
Mo Chen appeared immediately, “Your Highness, what are your orders?”
“Check if Ye Yuan and Ji Liancheng have met Leng Yu Yan before? Also, how did Ji Qingyu and Leng Yu Yan get acquainted? Additionally, investigate why Leng Yu Yan was driven out of the Leng Family five years ago?”
Hearing so many questions, Mo Chen’s mind sharpened – was his Highness starting to care about Miss Lai?
This was not a good sign!
His Highness’s aesthetic sense has been skewed by Miss Lai.
This was unacceptable, what magic does Miss Lai possess to have caught the attention of his Highness?
—
The next evening.
Leng Yu Yan, carrying cakes made by Miao Zhu, walked towards Ye YiHeng’s study, intending to thank him in person.
Inside the study, Jian Lecheng saw Ye YiHeng constantly massaging his brow and anxiously asked, “Is Your Highness’s eye condition flaring up again?”
Just as Leng Yu Yan reached the study’s entrance, she hesitated, intending to eavesdrop.
Ye YiHeng said, “My vision has been intermittently blurry these few days.”
“The frequency is increasing, what shall we do?” Jian Lecheng stood up, searching the study for an eye medicine wrap.
“No need to look, the medicine wrap is useless.”
Jian Lecheng urgently said, “Your Highness should promptly summon the Divine Doctor from seclusion, giving us a chance. If the so-called Divine Doctor cannot cure you, then killing him as a warning is not too late!”
Song Guo, seeing Leng Yu Yan outside the study, called out, “Miss, are you looking for His Highness?”
Leng Yu Yan remained composed and softly said, “Yes, I fainted yesterday and troubled His Highness, so I came to express my gratitude.”
Song Guo smiled and nodded, gesturing for her to come in.
They walked in, one after the other.
Seeing Leng Yu Yan approaching, Jian Lecheng hurriedly turned to find an eye veil, and after looking around, realized the veil was in Ye YiHeng’s hand.
“Your Highness!” Jian Lecheng gestured wildly towards his eyes.
Ye YiHeng understood and said indifferently, “She knows about my recent visual impairment.”
Hearing this, Jian Lecheng was startled and, still uneasy, asked, “Miss Lai, did you happen to overhear my conversation with His Highness?”
Leng Yu Yan knew she had stood by the door for a while, and Song Guo had already seen her by then, so it was not good to lie and candidly said, “I heard it.”
Jian Lecheng jumped up, “What shall we do?”
Leng Yu Yan arched an eyebrow and placed the food box on the desk, her tone calm, “What is there to be so anxious about, Young Master? It was merely you discussing how to persuade the Divine Doctor to come out of seclusion.”
Hearing this, Jian Lecheng sighed deeply and no longer hid anything from Leng Yu Yan, turning to Ye YiHeng, he said, “Is Linqing Pavilion that hard to get into? From my point of view, just forcibly enter, find that Divine Doctor, ask if he can treat Your Highness, and if he cannot, just execute him!”
Upon hearing this, Leng Yu Yan frowned, then voiced out, “Under the heavens, is it not all the king’s land, and even the Divine Doctor is a citizen of Tiancheng, how can you just decide to kill him?”
