On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 250 - : Possible or Not

Chapter 250 -250: Possible or Not

“The struggle for imperial power is exceedingly complex. A single misstep can cost you your life!”

“The princes of the Tian Family, whether they are keen to compete or not, will eventually be caught up in the tumultuous and treacherous strife.”

“Ah Yan, what do you think of me?”

Leng Yu Yan looked at him in disbelief. “Qingyu, no, Prince Qing, you are a commandery prince, your mother is the Eldest Princess, your family has close ties with the Tian Family…”

Ji Qingyu raised his hand to interrupt her.

“Ah Yan, though I am a commandery prince, I am not a prince. It would be a simple matter for my family to stay neutral in the conflict,” he said urgently. “When the princes vie for succession, it will be a bloody struggle. At that time, Ye Yiheng will become the target of all!”

“If you had experienced such brutal struggles, you would understand that all this talk of the Crown Prince and other princes means nothing compared to the reliability of me, an idle commandery prince!”

It was the first time she had heard him refer to himself as “I,” and Leng Yu Yan was momentarily stunned.

Moreover, she smelled a mix of various alcohols on him, a strong and choking scent.

“Your words are mistaken, Prince Qing!” she stood up. “As a commandery princess of Prince Zhenbei Mansion, I can no longer remain uninvolved.”

“Do you not know the predicament of Prince Zhenbei Mansion?”

She was already not her own master!

From its inception, Prince Zhenbei Mansion had not been the master of its own fate!

The man before her was the son of the Eldest Princess, holding high office; he must surely know of the entanglements between the Tian Family and the noble families since ancient times.

Now, with the situation of Prince Zhenbei Mansion and the Tian Family, she could not remain detached for the sake of her family!

Ji Qingyu stood up fervently, walked up to her, and said, “Ah Yan, choose me!”

“If you choose me, I will protect you! I will protect you for a lifetime!”

“If you choose me, I assure you will be the only one for me in this life. All those concubines and attendants mean nothing to me!”

He had drunk a lot just now, and this gave him the courage to come to Prince Zhenbei Mansion to confess to her.

Leng Yu Yan shook her head. “Qingyu, it is only now that I understand, marriage is not just a matter between two people—it’s a contest between one family and another.”

“If the game is won, the small family of the two will be happy.”

“If the game is lost, the small family of the two will most likely cease to exist.”

Hearing her words of desolation, Ji Qingyu’s heart tightened, and his smile carried a trace of bitterness. “Don’t you think that choosing the Crown Prince or any other prince would guarantee a loss in this game?”

Leng Yu Yan fell silent.

Seeing her silence, he thought she understood that choosing any prince would be a losing bet. He then excitedly grasped her slender shoulders. “Since you understand this truth, why won’t you choose me?”

Leng Yu Yan raised her hand to free herself from his grip. “Qingyu, I’ve already told you that we can only be friends, friends who can open our hearts to each other.”

“Weren’t we quite happy with the way things were before?”

At her words, he shook his head. “Do you mean to tell me that even as a friend wishing to protect you, you would reject me?”

After all, he had never considered just being friends with her from the start.

He wanted to be her man!

Ji Qingyu’s eyes narrowed as he saw the red mark on her neck again, and he said somberly, “Ye Yiheng is the Crown Prince; his status dictates that the number of concubines and second attendants will not be few. Do you really intend to be with him?”

“I…”

Leng Yu Yan was at a loss for words.

Her relationship with Ye Yiheng was merely one of cooperation; how many women he had was none of her concern.

But how could she discuss such deals with the man before her?

Ji Qingyu laughed, a ripple crossing his handsome eyes; he chuckled lightly and gestured towards the red mark on her neck.

Such marks, one could tell at a glance, were left in the throes of passion.

“You’ve become that close to him?”

His voice was pained, carrying an endless mockery.

Looking at the spot he pointed to, the spot where Ye Yiheng had kissed her, Leng Yu Yan’s heart startled. Could it be that the madman had left a mark on her neck?

Remembering that Ye Jiu had also stared at that spot, Leng Yu Yan squeezed her fist, likely there really was a trace left there.

Ji Qingyu burst into laughter, so hearty that his chest vibrated, “Do I know where I lost? You lived in the Eastern Palace for so long before, did you not already engage in intimate acts with him?”

So what if the blind man had an illness, don’t some powerful eunuchs still take wives?

“I really am foolish, a woman moves into a man’s residence, lives there for such a long time, and could still be pure?”

“Leng Yu Yan, am I right?”

Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan shook her head repeatedly, always having seen him as a friend; she did not expect herself to be so unbefitting in his eyes.

Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, she bit her lip to suppress the urge to cry, and called out to Xiaoshan waiting outside, “Xiaoshan, see the guest out for me!”

Xiaoshan dashed in from the corridor, raising his hand in a gesture of invitation, “Prince Qing, please!”

Ji Qingyu pushed Xiaoshan aside, “You white-haired freak, out of my way!”

Leng Yu Yan angrily said, “He is my man, not some little freak.”

“You treat a mere servant better than me! Ah Yan, do you truly see me as lesser even than a white-haired little freak?” Ji Qingyu stepped closer to her and said, “Whatever Ye Yiheng did, I can do; whatever he could not do, I can do too!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than he reached out to pinch her chin, slowly lowering his head, his lips approaching hers.

Seeing this, Leng Yu Yan swung her hand and slapped him.

Smack—

The crisp sound of the slap rang out.

“Ji Qingyu, come to your senses!”

Xiaoshan, seeing this, grabbed Ji Qingyu’s hand that was reaching for Leng Yu Yan and fiercely bit down on it.

Pain shot through his hand, and Ji Qingyu swung him off, “Are you a wolf cub? Biting people at random!”

Feeling that was not enough, he kicked Xiaoshan in the body.

“Ji Qingyu, that’s enough! From now on, we will not even be friends!”

Leng Yu Yan pushed him away and helped Xiaoshan up.

Staggering from the push, Ji Qingyu laughed, “I never cared to be any friend to begin with. Ah Yan, you will be mine, believe it or not?”

“Don’t you dare bully my Commandery Princess!” Xiaoshan glared with reddened eyes, his long white hair rising as if there was no wind, “The Commandery Princess is the best girl in the world, you have no right to defame her like this!”

Just now, he was waiting under the corridor, and hearing the words of Prince Qing slandering his Commandery Princess made his eyes turn red with anger, and he wanted to burst in on the spot.

Luckily the Commandery Princess called for him, and he quickly entered.

Now, he could no longer hold back his anger, “My Commandery Princess is pure and innocent, your filthy mouth is unworthy to speak about her!”

Hearing that, Ji Qingyu raised his hand, intending to strike Xiaoshan.

Leng Yu Yan quickly turned her hand into a fist and punched him in the stomach.

Feeling the burning rise in his stomach, Ji Qingyu covered his mouth as he felt like vomiting.

Leng Yu Yan commanded, “Someone, take Prince Qing back to the Marquis Jiangyang Mansion!”

Very soon, servants took Ji Qingyu away.

As he left the Prince Zhenbei Mansion, the apparently drunk Ji Qingyu regained his clarity.

Ah Yan, you will be mine!

Today, I wanted to confess to you properly, so you would be prepared for the match Uncle Emperor arranged for us.

I didn’t expect your rejection to be so resolute. Ah Yan, you can’t blame me now!

Ye Yiheng, that blind man, is not suitable for you.

After the marriage, I will treat you well!

Then, you will understand the difference between capable and incapable, and you will recognize my worth.
