Feeling the soft, delicate body in his arms, the Thirteenth Prince became increasingly flustered, his hands dangling in the air, unsure of where to put them.
"You, you mustn't..." He tried to persuade her to let go, but the girl in his arms buried her face in his chest, gently nuzzling him, and mumbling something in a daze.
Listening closely, I heard her say something like, "It's so hot, let me hug you..."
The Thirteenth Prince stopped trying to dissuade her, but frowned in confusion. He touched her forehead and found it was burning hot.
...Does he/she have a fever?
But it doesn't quite look like it!
Panicked, the Thirteenth Prince hurriedly lifted her face and found that her face was also abnormally red, her eyes were glazed, and her lips were bleeding from being bitten.
Realizing something was wrong, the Thirteenth Prince disregarded his embarrassment and quickly picked her up, jumped off the artificial hill, and rushed to the Fourth Prince's study.
To his surprise, Su Peisheng stopped him at the door of the study: "Thirteenth Master, you can't go in!"
The Thirteenth Prince frowned angrily: "Why? Get out of the way and go call the doctor!"
Su Peisheng then realized that the person in the Thirteenth Prince's arms was the Seventh Princess of the Zhaojia Mansion. Seeing that her cheeks were still flushed even in her unconscious state, he was startled: "Oh! What happened?!"
When the thirteenth prince saw that he was blocking the doorway and wouldn't let him in, he got angry, kicked him aside, kicked open the door, and barged in.
"Hey! Thirteenth Master, you can't go in!" Su Peisheng realized what was happening behind him, hurriedly slapped his leg, and chased after him inside.
...
The Fourth Prince stopped when he heard the commotion outside the door, sweat beading on his forehead.
The woman beneath him let out a muffled groan, her eyes brimming with tears.
The Fourth Prince's sharp eyes shot over instantly, startling the woman so much that her face turned pale and she fell silent.
At this moment, the Fourth Prince was still somewhat dazed and could not figure out who was beneath him. As the scene before him gradually became clearer, he saw the person beneath him and instantly frowned deeply.
...
When the Thirteenth Prince entered, he didn't see the Fourth Prince, but he saw broken porcelain shards on the ground. He panicked, thinking that something had happened to his Fourth Brother. He looked around and saw several women's clothes on the ground leading to the inner room.
The Thirteenth Prince's temple throbbed violently, and his handsome face instantly flushed red. He turned to carry Heyue away, but upon seeing Heyue's still unwell state while unconscious, he hesitated and stopped, gently placing Heyue on the long couch by the window on the west side.
"Thirteenth Master, you..." Su Peisheng was about to cry, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the inner room, his face full of grief.
Ugh, what a mess this is!
Seeing Su Peisheng still grumbling, the Thirteenth Prince glared at him and roared, "Go and fetch a doctor!"
Startled, Su Peisheng trembled and, disregarding everything else, ran out in a panic.
The Thirteenth Prince was also very annoyed, but he couldn't leave now, otherwise the servants would see Heyue like this and who knows what would happen.
Right now, we have no choice but to bother Fourth Brother.
Heyue, who was lying on the couch, suddenly sat up and groggily hugged the Thirteenth Prince's waist.
The Thirteenth Prince froze abruptly, his eyes darting around, his face flushed, refusing to look at her. He softly advised her, "Heyue, the doctor will be here soon, just bear with it."
A quarter of an hour later, the Fourth Prince emerged from the inner room behind the study, dressed neatly. Upon seeing the scene before him, he frowned deeply: "What's going on?!"
"Fourth Brother!" The Thirteenth Prince was overjoyed, but then, as if remembering something, his face turned ashen, and he lowered his head, his voice trembling: "Fourth Brother, I'm sorry, that... I didn't mean to, it's just... with Yue..."
The Fourth Prince ignored the Thirteenth Prince's embarrassment and guilt, looked at Heyue, and immediately understood what had happened after glancing at her flushed face.
Thinking back to what had just happened, his face instantly darkened.
A moment later, someone walked out from behind, trembling.
The thirteenth prince took one look and immediately widened his eyes, staring at the fourth prince in shock.
"Fourth Brother, what... what's going on?!"
How could it be her?!
The Fourth Prince was slightly uncomfortable and explained casually, "The porridge was poisoned."
The thirteenth prince instinctively looked at Yu Ying, who was cowering to the side, wishing she could disappear into the ground. She was the one who brought the porridge; that was the only explanation…
Upon seeing his gaze, Yu Ying knelt down with a thud, her face deathly pale, shaking her head like a rattle drum: "No, it wasn't me... I didn't!"
The Fourth Prince glanced at her, a cold look, but he still explained to the Thirteenth Prince: "She doesn't have the guts!"
Yu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Fourth Prince with gratitude.
The Thirteenth Prince was still worried: "Fourth Brother, what... what should we do? What a coincidence! It was Heyue who was coming just now..."
Thinking that the porridge was sent by Fourth Sister-in-law through Heyue, if Heyue had entered the study, wouldn't that have been Yuying's fate?
Thinking of this, the Thirteenth Prince couldn't help but shudder. He suddenly felt a sense of relief, relieved that it was Yu Ying, not He Yue, and relieved that he had called He Yue out.
But Heyue is just like her fourth brother...
"Who on earth is this?!" Having figured out the other party's purpose, the Thirteenth Prince's face was so dark it could drip water.
Although the porridge was delivered by Heyue through Fourth Sister-in-law, Thirteenth Prince did not suspect that it was Fourth Sister-in-law, since Fourth Sister-in-law had no reason to do so.
Upon hearing the Thirteenth Prince's words, Yu Ying bit her lip and lowered her head.
The Fourth Prince narrowed his eyes upon seeing this, but remained silent.
A moment later, the doctor arrived, but the Thirteenth Prince stopped him from bowing and immediately dragged him over to Heyue: "Quickly, take his pulse!"
The elderly doctor sat shakily on the stool. Yu Ying quickly got up and stepped forward to place the handkerchief on He Yue's wrist, looking at He Yue nervously.
