The Fourth Prince's wife naturally noticed something amiss.

However, neither of them broke through this barrier.

After all, he was just a child, and the Fourth Princess Consort didn't take him seriously, continuing to act as kind as before.

As for Heyue, she never intended to interfere in the affairs of the Fourth Prince's backyard, and she always thought that she was too young to be involved.

But she didn't expect that the other party wouldn't let her off just because she was a child.

Perhaps in people's eyes at that time, as long as it is useful, even a child can use it.

Perhaps it would be more convenient for children to use, just like the eldest princess.

He Yue understood that it was all because the Fourth Prince had been good to her that she had become a useful pawn in the eyes of others.

However, what the other party did not know was that Heyue was not a simple child, but rather like a cat that could reveal its sharp claws at any time.

When it's silent, it's soft and lovable, but when it scratches, it's ruthless and vicious, leaving flesh and blood in its wake.

Heyue did not intend to expose the Fourth Prince's wife's pretense, but that did not mean she was willing to be used.

You always need to let people know that you are not someone who can be easily manipulated or bullied.

The other party thought the matter was over, but in Heyue's eyes, it wasn't over yet.

Soon, just when Fourth Princess Consort thought Heyue would remain silent, reality slapped her in the face.

The reason is as follows.

After the Fourth Prince returned to his residence in the afternoon, Heyue went to the study to find him, as usual.

Everyone was used to Heyue coming to the front yard from time to time.

After all, the master truly dotes on this little princess from the other mansion. For her sake, he has even neglected the two princesses he usually favors, Princess Li and the eldest princess.

Su Peisheng treated this young princess as if she were a more famous person than himself in his entourage.

They wished they could worship her like a Bodhisattva.

That's for sure. Just think about the other day, the master and this princess were drugged, and the servants in the Fourth Prince's room, the First Princess's room, and the Li Princess's room were all mercilessly beaten to death.

Su Peisheng is still shaken by the experience.

There are reasons why the master cannot tolerate such filth, but it also proves just how much he dotes on this princess.

In the past, if something like this happened, the master would just beat the person up and kick them out. But this time he was so ruthless that the people in the manor still tremble when they think about it.

He Yue went in after Su Peisheng informed the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Prince's voice came from inside.

Because of the incident she accidentally bumped into, Heyue never dared to barge in again.

She didn't want to witness something like that again.

Upon entering the room, one immediately saw the Fourth Prince standing behind his desk, seemingly drawing.

He Yue rarely saw the Fourth Prince painting, so she became very interested.

Seeing that he didn't look up, Heyue quietly walked over and leaned in to take a look.

When she saw the desolate desert landscape, Heyue blinked curiously.

As the Fourth Prince completed the final step, a bright red sun hung in the sky, adding a touch of gentle warmth and vibrant color to this desolate desert.

Putting down his pen, the Fourth Prince turned to look at the little girl, a smile in his eyes, wanting to pick her up and put her on his lap as usual.

But then he suddenly realized that the little girl in front of him was already up to his chest.

He suddenly remembered what had happened a few days ago, his eyes darkened, and he gave up on that action, only reaching out to rub her head.

He asked with a smile, "How is it?"

He Yue looked up at him, slightly puzzled: "Why paint the desert?"

The Fourth Prince chuckled: "You think the desert isn't beautiful?"

He Yue nodded matter-of-factly, then frowned: "What's so interesting about this desolate place with endless yellow sand?"

She loves all things bright and beautiful.

"The Central Plains has always been a place that everyone yearns for, because it has green mountains and clear waters, flowers and trees that the deserts beyond the Great Wall lack. The scenery of the Central Plains is beautiful and colorful. However, the deserts beyond the Great Wall have a magnificent beauty that the Central Plains lack. Both are natural landscapes, each with its own beauty. It is just that when we see the beautiful scenery of the Central Plains, we should not forget the vastness of the deserts and Gobi. Being able to embrace all kinds of beauty and appreciate different kinds of beauty is the way of nature."

He looked at the Fourth Prince, who was speaking eloquently, with a knowing smile.

This Fourth Prince seemed to possess a greater sense of wisdom and open-mindedness than his usual dignified and aloof self.

She has also become more attractive.

He Yue thought to himself, "No wonder he was able to become emperor in the end. His insight and demeanor are truly extraordinary."

"Will Fourth Master be able to forget Li Gege's bad deeds and remember her good ones, and forgive her this time?"

When He Yue suddenly brought up this matter, the Fourth Prince was genuinely taken aback. He looked down at him, his brows furrowed.

Why are you suddenly saying that?

"I just feel uneasy because I was angry with Li Gege because of how much Fourth Master used to like her." Heyue looked up at him pitifully, her eyes full of pleading.

The Fourth Prince's expression turned displeased, and his tone turned cold: "You don't need to concern yourself with this matter. Those who do wrong should be punished. Even without you, I still wouldn't tolerate what she did."

“But I think that although Li Gege made mistakes, there are some things that she may not have done, and her mistakes are not enough to warrant this,” He Yue retorted unwillingly.

The Fourth Prince was taken aback, scrutinized her intently, and after a long while, his expression softened. He patted her head and asked softly, "Oh? Tell me your opinion, why do you think so?"

Seeing that things were going well, He Yue immediately became excited and said, "Fourth Master, you see, Consort Li is not just your woman. You neglected her in the past, so it's understandable that she made mistakes. But besides being a woman, she is also a mother. Even if she goes too far, she wouldn't take advantage of her child."
