"Why?" He Yue heard her own voice was very calm.

Xia Ting pursed her lips slightly, her eyes clear: "In any case, please listen to what I have to say, Princess. You will regret marrying the Thirteenth Prince. I can't say any more, so please think carefully, Princess."

"How do you know I'll marry the Thirteenth Prince in the future? Although the Thirteenth Prince and I are close, we haven't reached that level yet, so it seems inappropriate to talk about this now." Although she knew this, He Yue couldn't help but ask, wanting to hear how she would explain.

He Yue was truly curious. Although the Thirteenth Prince would be imprisoned in the future, his future achievements were indescribable. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be willing to gamble their ten years of freedom for the sake of that limitless future potential.

What makes her think she'll regret it?

He Yue had a feeling that there was another reason behind her words.

"Xia Ting can't say much else. Even if she did, Gege wouldn't believe her and would think Xia Ting was exaggerating. But Xia Ting really does want what's best for Gege."

Xia Ting stood up and bowed to her: "Xia Ting has said all she has to say. Please take care, Princess."

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Heyue didn't ask any more questions; she was never one to be afraid of trouble.

Even if she were to become the Thirteenth Prince's wife in the future, what would she have to regret?

For her, who she marries is not something she cares about.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Heyue called her back. After hearing what she had just said, Heyue was still somewhat hesitant.

In a rare moment of kindness, he paused, then asked another question: "Why did you follow the Crown Prince? Were you forced into it, or did you do it willingly?"

Xia Ting seemed somewhat surprised that He Yue would say such a thing, and smiled slightly: "The Crown Prince is the heir apparent of the country. It is Xia Ting's good fortune to be able to follow the Crown Prince. Besides, the Crown Prince is witty and elegant, and he treats Xia Ting well. It is hard not to be attracted to him."

He Yue wanted to ask, "How do you know he'll always like you?" But she was worried that revealing too much of her secret would expose her, so she asked cryptically, "As far as I know, the Crown Prince has many women. It might not be good for you if you go there."
