Chapter 108 -108: How Dare to Covet

“If I could just…”

Her words had not yet finished when Ji Qingyu’s voice came from not far away, “Ah Yan!”

Leng Yu Yan followed the direction of the voice and saw Ji Qingyu approaching with a gentle smile on his face.

“Qingyu, have you come here for a reason?” Leng Yu Yan rose from the bench.

Ji Qingyu glanced briefly at Ye Yiheng, his eyes covered by white silk, and beckoned Leng Yu Yan with a gesture, “Ah Yan, come here, I have something to tell you.”

Leng Yu Yan pursed her lips, glanced sideways at the silent Ye Yiheng, and noticed that his face was calm and ripple-free, which must mean he wasn’t angry.

...

Moreover, the Eastern Palace was his territory, and he should feel most at ease.

With this thought, she walked over to Ji Qingyu.

As she drew near him, Ji Qingyu slightly bowed his head and whispered, “The battle involving your elder brother had some connection with the Minister of War. It is said that the Minister had some urgent matter to send to the battlefield.”

Leng Yu Yan frowned, “What was the urgent matter?”

“I’m not clear on the specifics, I still need to investigate further.”

Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan nodded. Military affairs were naturally connected to the Ministry of War; now that she knew there was a significant connection, she thought of probing into the Ministry of War to uncover the whole truth.

“If you find out more later on, please inform me immediately!”

Ji Qingyu nodded in agreement, “Of course! Oh, by the way, mother sent me to ask how you’re finding the orange wine.”

“Good, I plan to drink a small cup each day. Perhaps, in a few days, I’ll have developed a tolerance.” Pausing for a moment, Leng Yu Yan continued, “Wait here for me for a moment, I have some boxes of pastries that I’d like your help in delivering to Auntie.”

“Understood.”

These two had moved a little farther from the bench where the Crown Prince sat; Ye Yiheng couldn’t hear what they were saying.

But Ji Qingyu calling her Ah Yan did not sit well with him at all.

Shortly after, he heard the sound of Leng Yu Yan walking away.

It was then that Ji Qingyu came to sit beside him on the bench, bluntly and without courtesy.

“To be frank with you, I’ve known her for over half a year,” Ji Qingyu’s face lost the smile that had adorned it earlier, “Today I came here to tell you to let her go for me.”

Ye Yiheng replied in a flat tone, devoid of emotion, “She is my betrothed. I’m afraid your wish is destined to be unfulfilled.”

“You can’t see, can’t see her joy, her anger, and cannot sense her inner fragility. You can’t even secure your own position as the Crown Prince; how could you treat her well?”

“And you, with someone else already in your heart, would be able to treat her well?” Ye Yiheng retorted in a calm voice.

“Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten. That person is already gone, dead from the pastries gifted by Your Highness.” Ji Qingyu’s tone chilled, “From beginning to end, you owe me a woman!”

Ye Yiheng snorted coldly, “You can have any other woman, but not Leng Yu Yan.”

“Why?” Ji Qingyu furrowed his brows, “Have you fallen for her?”

“Ridiculous, why would I fall for a woman randomly bestowed upon me in marriage by an old man?”

“Then why do you cling to her?”

Ye Yiheng’s expression remained indifferent, “Because I’ve discovered, with her around, I’m not bored.”

Hearing this, Ji Qingyu was startled internally. Could it be that this blind man had unwittingly fallen for Ah Yan?

Ji Qingyu’s expression darkened, “You’ve already harmed one of my women. Do you intend to harm another?”

“Remember your place. Leng Yu Yan is my fiancée, she was never your woman from start to finish.”

Ji Qingyu suddenly scoffed, “What if I tell Ah Yan about your true first love? What do you think she would think? My person is gone, but yours is very much alive and well.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Yiheng fell into silence.

“That’s where I’m better than you,” Ji Qingyu said with a light laugh, “Of course, there are many ways in which I am superior. For example, I’m not blind, and apart from the days I suffer from cold disease, my body is warm. What about you?”

Ye Yiheng squeezed his fist, “None of these can change the fact that she is a fiancee left unattended.”

“You can only say that now,” Ji Qingyu sneered, “Do you need me to tell Ah Yan for you that in the year you were fifteen, you met a girl and since then have regarded her as your first love? As a result, you’ve been cold and indifferent to any other woman, even to the girl who grew up with you.”

Hearing this, Ye Yiheng’s handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his face turned stern.

Ji Qingyu let out another cold laugh, “Have you ever found the first love that resides in your heart?”

Just then, Leng Yu Yan came over with several boxes of pastries, “Qingyu, please deliver these few boxes of pastries for me.”

Hearing her, Ji Qingyu stood up, stepped forward a few paces to take the pastries, and asked with a smile in front of the Crown Prince, “Is there one for me?”

Leng Yu Yan smiled, “Of course, there is.”

Ye Yiheng remained seated on the long chair, his frown barely perceptible.

From the corner of his eye, Ji Qingyu saw Ye Yiheng remained unmoved as a mountain, inscrutable in emotion, but internally, waves of emotions were likely already stirring.

It was time to let the blind man know the gap between him and him, so he spoke up, “Your mother will surely love the pastries you made.”

He loved them even more!

Ji Qingyu’s mouth curled with a smile, his eyes tenderly gazing at the woman before him.

Her beauty was exquisite and tender, a woman this wonderful should not waste her time beside someone else.

Leng Yu Yan smiled slightly, “These were made by my maid, though it was her hands that made them, the recipe was as I instructed, so consider it as if I had made them too.”

Hearing this, Ji Qingyu raised an eyebrow, “I wonder when I can eat the ones made by your own hands?”

“I’m rather lazy, I only give orders, it’s better to let Miao Zhu do it.” Leng Yu Yan admitted candidly.

Ji Qingyu sighed.

Seeing this, she added, “If you really want to eat them, wait for the next time.”

He had helped her many times and even now was helping investigate her elder brother’s affairs; she indeed owed him thanks.

At this point, Ye Yiheng’s face turned ashen.

Ji Qingyu happily said, “That would be excellent!”

Leng Yu Yan nodded slightly, “Just now, I seemed to have seen you chatting with His Highness, so please continue, I’ll take my leave.”

“We’re done talking,” Ji Qingyu said with a smile.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Yiheng stood up and said indifferently, “Crown Princess Consort, assist this lone one to the bedroom.”

“My apologies, Qingyu,” Leng Yu Yan nodded to Ji Qingyu, then took a few steps over and supported Ye Yiheng’s arm.

As they walked past Ji Qingyu, Ye Yiheng reached out and grasped her hand that was resting on his arm.

His large hand tightly squeezed her delicate wrist.

Seeing this, Ji Qingyu’s brow furrowed.

His hand was holding hers so tightly.

And given that Leng Yu Yan herself didn’t say anything, he felt it wasn’t right for him to speak up.

“Your Highness, walk this way, crossing the cobblestone path, will make it easier for you.” Leng Yu Yan didn’t overthink, only knowing that today he was holding her especially tight, perhaps because of his recent blindness.

Being unable to see the road, naturally, he would hold on a bit tighter.

“Alright,” Ye Yiheng uttered monosyllabically.

While she wasn’t paying attention, he slightly turned his head in the direction they came from.

Though he couldn’t see Ji Qingyu’s expression at the moment, he could imagine that the man must be fuming with envy.

Coveting his Crown Princess Consort, had he not weighed his own worth?
