Although Prince Cheng was much older than the Thirteenth Prince, according to He Yue's knowledge, Prince Cheng was just a weak scholar. It was unlikely that Prince Cheng could have defeated the Thirteenth Prince.
But if the Thirteenth Prince had won, why would he be in such a half-dead state?
The thirteenth prince's face darkened, and in anger, he reached out and pinched her cheek hard.
He Yue hissed softly, then glared at her with fiery eyes: "Are you sick?!"
However, what Heyue didn't expect was that, even though it was she who was being pinched, the Thirteenth Prince acted as if she had bullied him, and complained aggrievedly: "In your heart, am I so worthless?! I can't even beat that useless person who can't even kill a chicken!"
Isn't that right?
Heyue wanted to retort and tell him that the so-called useless person he was talking about was his third brother, and that his behavior was disrespectful, but in the end, she ignored his madness.
She slapped him on the forehead and yelled, "Get out of my way!"
The thirteenth prince glared at her angrily, then suddenly did something that shocked the other two.
Suddenly, the Thirteenth Prince lowered his head and bit Heyue's left cheek.
He Yue froze on the spot like a fossil, her eyes wide with disbelief.
The Thirteenth Prince met those clear eyes filled with disbelief, blinked, blinked again, and suddenly realized that his lips had touched something soft and slightly cool. The feeling was unfamiliar, yet very comfortable. It was as if a pebble had been thrown into his heart, causing ripples.
But in the next instant, she realized what she had done, and her whole body turned bright red from her face to her neck, like a boiled shrimp.
He suddenly released Heyue, jumped out of bed, waved his hands frantically, and explained, "I...I really didn't mean to..."
The Thirteenth Prince was at a loss for words. The facts were undeniable, and any explanation would be nothing but denial.
Then she met He Yue's eyes, which had lost their incredulity and were gradually filled with clear anger. She swallowed hard and instinctively took a step back.
Without warning, the Thirteenth Prince rolled to the ground with a thud, his forehead hitting the headboard of the bed. He collapsed to the floor, closed his eyes, and fainted.
He Yue was taken aback, then frowned. After a pause, she got up and went over to look at him, who was motionless. She felt worried and wanted to help him up, but then she remembered what had just happened. Anger flared up, and she kicked him in the leg: "Hey! Wake up!"
The thirteenth prince did not react.
Huh? She really fainted?
He Yue bent down and pinched his nose with two fingers. After a while, the boy's tightly closed eyelashes trembled slightly.
really!
He Yue sneered. She wanted to beat him up, but suddenly felt that it would be too easy on him.
After stroking her chin and pondering for a while, He Yue had an idea. She walked to the table on the other side of the room, picked up a calligraphy brush, dipped it in ink, and returned to the bedside. He Yue looked at the Thirteenth Prince, who was still pretending to be dead, and a wicked smile appeared on her lips.
After finishing her business, Heyue put the brush back, glanced at the still motionless figure on the ground, curled her lips, and stepped out of the room.
The thirteenth prince inside the room stirred, opened one eye to look around, and seeing no one, let out a soft sigh of relief. He scrambled to his feet, remembering that something seemed to have been drawn on his face, and hurriedly ran to look for a mirror, but couldn't find one.
There wasn't even a basin of water big enough to reflect one's face.
The thirteenth prince frowned in distress.
He couldn't bring in a mirror, and besides, the things on his face needed to be washed off with water to be clean, so it was impossible for him not to want people to see them.
He touched his face, feeling uneasy because he couldn't see what was on it, but then he suddenly remembered the softness he had just touched.
That feeling was novel, unfamiliar, and it stirred a strange excitement within him.
I never knew a girl's face could be so soft and delicate.
The Thirteenth Prince was already a fourteen-year-old boy, and he understood everything he needed to understand, so he was well aware of this stirring in his heart.
But the other child is only ten years old. How could I have such filthy thoughts?!
Most importantly, how could someone as fierce and domineering as her be compared to a soft, tender, and gentle girl?
She even drew something on her face—something a well-bred young lady would never do!
The thirteenth prince was thinking angrily when suddenly an idea struck him.
Perhaps if I had a woman like my fourth brother, things wouldn't be like this.
It's all because he doesn't have a woman that he was deceived by Heyue's soft and sweet appearance.
He's fourteen years old, it's time for him to have a woman. This isn't considered indulging in pleasure, so Fourth Brother probably won't say anything.
Because the thirteenth prince bit her so hard, a red mark was left on her cheek.
When Heyue saw this through the mirror, she was so angry that she wanted to skin the Thirteenth Prince alive.
Such a lustful child at such a young age, it's simply...
If it were according to her usual temperament, she would have beaten him to a pulp, leaving him wishing for death. But this time, she didn't pursue the matter, only drawing some marks on his face as a minor punishment.
Heyue grew angrier the more she thought about it. When she left, she was afraid that someone would see the red mark on her face, so she did not say goodbye to the Fourth Prince and his wife.
However, Yu Ying and Hai Lan, the two maids, saw it all clearly and stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Hailan asked in surprise, "Princess, how did you get bitten by mosquitoes?"
He Yue was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
Yu Ying looked closely at her face, frowned and shook her head: "Where would a mosquito come from at this time? And it doesn't look like a mosquito bite to me."
