He Yue's eyes darted away, and she stammered.

To be honest, Thirteen has been taking care of her health these days, and there haven't been many instances of that kind of thing, but there were still a few times when he really couldn't resist, and Yue didn't want to make things difficult for him, so...

She felt that a few times occasionally wouldn't be a problem, and she and Thirteen also knew that it wasn't the right time to get pregnant. Back then, the eldest prince's primary wife ruined her health because she had given birth to children one after another and didn't have enough time to recuperate.

Thirteen cared about this matter even more than Heyue herself, so she was careful each time, avoiding certain aspects.

Seeing her expression, Lady Irgen Gioro was immediately enraged and reprimanded her without any politeness: "You're really being ridiculous! Don't you know your own body? How can you let the Thirteenth Prince do whatever he wants? You're not a child anymore, don't you understand such things?"

Thinking of her daughter's health, even though she was unwilling, Irgen Gioro had to bring up a certain matter: "I think it would be better for you to separate from the Thirteenth Prince for the time being. Don't you have Hailan by your side? She is getting old now, and she has always been loyal to you. You can let the Thirteenth Prince take her as a concubine, and then bring up the matter of the child again in a few months."

He Yue opened her mouth wide and subconsciously shook her head: "No way!"

Irgen Gioro's face suddenly darkened, her expression leaving no room for argument: "That's not up to you!"

Her expression softened, and she earnestly advised, "Listen to your mother on this matter. The Thirteenth Prince is young and impetuous, and if this continues, he may suffer... You can't disregard your health just because you're upset for a moment. Your mother can't bear to see you troubled by such a thing, but isn't this a last resort? Which woman in this world hasn't gone through this? Besides, the Thirteenth Prince is a prince, how can he endure such humiliation?"

As her mother's words became increasingly absurd, Heyue waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Mother, that's not what I meant."

Knowing that her mother would not let the matter of her body rest, Heyue had no choice but to tell her mother about Hailan's thoughts, but did not tell her who that person was.

Upon hearing this, Lady Irgen Gioro fell silent for a long time before sighing, "This Hailan is quite devoted. It must be hard for her. Anyway, she's with you, so just treat her well."

He nodded in agreement; that was natural.

Irgen Gioro no longer mentioned Hailan, but instead brought up Zhizhu: "Zhizhu is not bad either, although she is a bit younger than Hailan, she is old enough..."

Heyue was exasperated. Afraid that her mother would continue, she quickly grabbed her hand and pleaded, "Mother, please don't say anything more about this. I know you care about me, but there are some things I won't give in to."

Seeing that her mother was about to get angry again, Heyue quickly brought up Thirteen: "This is also Thirteen's idea."

Suddenly, Yiergenjueluo fell silent, looking at her with suspicion, as if she didn't believe it.

Helpless, Heyue continued to explain, "Mother, Thirteen promised me that he would never have another woman in his life. I know you will say that you can't believe his one-sided story, and how could a man tolerate such things? But I am willing to believe him, and he has kept his word all these years and has never touched any woman."

Lady Irgen Gioro was stunned: "What did you say? The Thirteenth Prince, he..."

It was not appropriate for others to comment on this matter. Heyue was afraid that her mother would play matchmaker again, so she had no choice but to tell her mother. She nodded and said, "Mother, Thirteen has indeed not touched any other women all these years. Those women before were just a smokescreen."

"What about Tonghui? Isn't she the daughter of the Wusu clan?" Yiergenjueluo clanswoman's face immediately fell, clearly disbelieving and thinking that she was just trying to fob her off, which made her even angrier.

Heyue chuckled awkwardly, "Um... um..." This matter was really hard to explain, but faced with her mother's piercing gaze, Heyue had no choice but to compromise and whispered in her mother's ear.

As Yiergenjueluo listened, her eyes widened in disbelief: "Are you telling the truth?"

Heyue pouted, "Would my daughter lie to you about something like this?"

Irgen Gioro clansmen snapped out of their daze, their expressions complex. Suddenly, they poked her forehead hard, their faces darkening. "You fool! How could you do such a thing? You actually made the Thirteenth Prince..."

He couldn't bring himself to say what was to come. Pointing at her with his index finger, he looked at her with exasperation: "You, you're just being ridiculous! What if someone with ulterior motives finds out? How will the Thirteenth Prince face them? What will your mother do?"

Heyue wasn't worried at all, and chuckled, "Mother, don't worry. Tonghui is just a girl, what could possibly happen to her? Besides, I raised her, she's my daughter, what does it have to do with Wusu?"

Knowing that things had come to this point and there was no point in saying anything, Lady Irgen Gioro glared at her fiercely and said no more.

Heyue clung to her mother's arm, pouting, "Mother, don't worry about this. Let nature take its course. He's already agreed, so why would I arrange women for him? I'm not going to go looking for trouble. If he really wants to take a concubine one day, I'll naturally grant his wish. Until then, as long as he doesn't bring it up himself, I will never bring it up."

Irgen Gioro shook her head helplessly. Although she still found it unbelievable, she had no choice but to accept it: "Since you've said so, what else can your mother say? This Thirteenth Prince agreed to such a thing, which shows that he is truly devoted to you. Your mother is relieved."

Then, with an unquestionable expression, she demanded, "Since that's the case, you will sleep with your mother from now on, and you cannot share a room with the Thirteenth Prince for the next few days."

Heyue touched her nose, feeling sorry for Thirteen. However, she was naturally happy to see her mother after so long. As for Thirteen, it was alright to make him suffer for a while; she could make it up to him later.

When Thirteen returned home that evening, Heyue told him about it. She secretly observed his expression and saw that he was wide-eyed and unable to recover for a long time. She couldn't help but feel a little smug, but pretended to be dissatisfied: "Mother is really something, getting involved in such a thing. I told Mother that you are not someone who can't control yourself, but Mother didn't believe me at all and insisted that I go over."

"Look, I have no choice. My mother is only trying to help me. I can't let her suffer, can I? It's only a few months anyway, I can just bear with it."

Thirteen's face turned ashen, and he glared fiercely at Heyue, who looked back at him innocently.

After a long while, Thirteen gave a helpless bitter smile: "What mother-in-law in this world would treat her son-in-law like this? You two are just here to bring bad luck to me. But a few months is too long, isn't it? Talk to your mother, and I'll just not touch you. I really can't sleep without you."

Seeing his pitiful expression again, He Yue felt as if her heart had been gently brushed by a feather.

I knew he did it on purpose, since he used this trick often before.

Whenever this happened, He Yue couldn't bear to refuse any of his requests, and she would agree as long as they weren't excessive.

But this time, Heyue shook her head firmly: "I've already promised Mother, so just bear with it."

I know my mother's temper. If this matter is not resolved, she might come and arrest him herself, and she won't care about his status as the thirteenth prince.

That was when we really made a fool of ourselves.
