Thinking of Xue, the Crown Prince's desire, which had just subsided, surged up again, and he sank into despair once more.
Seeing that the Crown Prince had not yet emerged, He Zhu looked nervously at the water, wondering if the Crown Prince had drowned himself.
Just as He Zhu was about to go forward to check, the Crown Prince emerged from the water.
The prince wiped the water droplets from his face, stood up, and stepped out.
"Brother Crown Prince, what's wrong?" He Xue's voice came from outside.
He Xue has been waiting for the Crown Prince to return.
She heard that the Crown Prince had returned, but went straight to the bathhouse. She waited for a while, but the Crown Prince did not come over. She asked if he was still in the bathhouse, so she came over to check on him out of concern.
"Your Highness, this servant did not tell the Crown Princess!" He Zhu hurriedly explained when he saw the Crown Prince looking at him with murderous eyes.
"I'm fine, you go back first, I'll be back in a bit!" the Crown Prince said in a low, hoarse voice.
He Xue sensed that something was wrong with the Crown Prince. Just then, she heard the sound of something falling into the water, so she pushed open the door and went inside.
The prince thought the cold water would calm him down, but the heat soon returned, and he jumped into the water without a second thought.
"He Zhu, where is the Crown Prince?" He Xue came in but did not see the Crown Prince.
He Zhu pointed to the bathtub, "Princess Consort, His Highness the Crown Prince is inside!"
Seeing that the bathtub was surrounded by water, He Xue didn't dare to go any closer. "What happened?"
"Your Highness, His Highness has been given the medicine!"
"Traditional Chinese medicine? Didn't the Crown Prince go to Suo'etu's residence? Who would dare to poison the Crown Prince?" He Xue felt that Suo'etu would never do anything to harm the Crown Prince.
"It's Xu Yan!"
"Is it her?" He Xue knew that Xu Yan was not a peaceful person.
At that moment, the prince's head emerged from the water.
"Brother Crown Prince, how are you?" He Xue asked worriedly.
"It's alright, you can go back first!" the Crown Prince said with a smile, then walked out and went behind the screen to change into a clean set of clothes.
He Xue noticed that the Crown Prince's face was still abnormally red, and sighed, "Crown Prince, you..."
He Xue still couldn't bring herself to suggest that the Crown Prince find other women.
"Brother Crown Prince, I will keep my promise! I'm fine!" The Crown Prince came to He Xue's side and comforted her.
He Xue held the prince's hand; his palm was very hot, and she knew that soaking it in cold water probably wouldn't work.
"Brother Crown Prince, let's go back first!" He Xue pulled the Crown Prince away.
"He Xue, you go back first, I'll go back later!" The Crown Prince broke free from He Xue's hand, worried that he might hurt her.
"It's alright, let's go back now!" He Xue gave the Crown Prince a reassuring look.
"No, I'll hurt you and the child!" the crown prince refused.
“Brother Crown Prince, I would never joke about our child!” He Xue looked at the Crown Prince with firm eyes.
The Crown Prince then returned to his room with He Xue.
Back in the room, He Xue turned around and saw that the Crown Prince's face was flushed, his breathing was rapid, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. His eyes revealed restraint.
"I'm going to the bathhouse..." the prince said.
He Xue grabbed the prince's hand, her face flushed, and said in a voice barely above a whisper, "Brother Prince, actually... we can sleep together after three months..."
"Really?" The Crown Prince's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at He Xue with lust in his eyes.
He Xue nodded gently.
The prince picked up He Xue and carried her inside, gently placing her on the bed.
"Brother Crown Prince, please be gentle!" He Xue said, her face flushed.
"Okay, be gentle!" The prince leaned down and kissed He Xue.
