Caught off guard, Lady Guarjia stumbled and crashed into the doorframe. She cried out in surprise, clutching her arm and gasping for breath in pain. She couldn't believe her husband would treat her like this. Tears welled in her eyes as she looked up at him and cried out, "My lord, how could you treat me like this? I am your woman too!"
Ignoring her, Thirteen grabbed Li Shun'er, his eyes blazing with fury: "Where is the Princess Consort?!"
Upon hearing his question, Li Shun'er turned her head and pointed, "The Princess Consort just left, Your Highness..."
Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly noticed the horrified look on the man's face and the abnormal blush on his cheeks.
This was the first time the master had shown such a terrifying expression. Li Shun'er shuddered; it was too frightening.
Feeling the burning heat emanating from his body, something suddenly exploded within me, and there was something else I didn't understand!
Before I could even react, he vanished through the door like a gust of wind.
Li Shun'er glanced at Guarjia, who had fallen to the ground at the door with tears streaming down her face, and sneered inwardly. She thought, "She brought this upon herself. How dare she plot against my master!"
Thirteen slept for a while, but his body grew hotter and hotter, and he staggered. He still couldn't see Heyue's shadow, and a sense of panic crept into his heart.
Li Shun'er quickly caught up and supported him: "Master, how are you? Should I call a doctor?"
Thirteen instinctively grabbed his hand, as if grasping at the last straw: "Take me to the Princess Consort's place."
Li Shun'er nodded in agreement, then helped him up and took him to the main courtyard.
Upon arriving at the main courtyard, they found it locked, quiet, and without a single ray of light.
Li Shun'er's heart sank. Looking at her mistress in this state, she realized that only the Fujin (the wife of the deceased) could solve the problem.
He gritted his teeth, freed one hand, and pounded on the door.
Inside the room, Heyue was sitting on the couch by the window, lost in thought. There was only an oil lamp lit beside her, and she heard no sound from outside.
Hailan came over and asked cautiously, "Madam, shall we let the master in?"
"No need," He Yue said calmly.
Hailan dared not disobey, so she retreated and shook her head at Granny Wang.
Looking at Heyue, Granny Wang sighed, "The Princess Consort cares about the Thirteenth Prince, so why be like this?"
Hailan retorted, "It was Master who hurt the Princess's feelings first, so you can't blame her."
Granny Wang tapped her forehead and chuckled, "What do you know?!" She then looked out the window and sighed, "The fact that Master came after you at this time shows that he cares about you, Madam. What's wrong with a man being a little sentimental? The important thing is that he puts Madam first. Back then, Master was always very obedient to Madam. Later, he had no choice but to take a concubine, but he would still occasionally go to the concubine's room. Madam had to endure it no matter how uncomfortable she was, because Master always cared about Madam the most, and Madam cared about Master the most. So she had to plan for Master's offspring."
"I just feel that the Fujin is suffering a lot." Hailan's voice weakened.
"How could I not feel sorry for the Fujin? She married into the family at such a young age and was spoiled by the Thirteenth Prince. It's understandable that she might act a little spoiled now and then, but if she angers the Thirteenth Prince because of it, then it would be a loss."
"Oh? Will the Thirteenth Prince be angry?" Hailan immediately became worried.
"Which man could tolerate this? After all, it's common for men to have multiple wives and concubines. The Thirteenth Prince is still a prince, so he should be even more concerned about his offspring. It's just a pity that his wife is too young; otherwise, it would be better if she had given birth to a legitimate son first than it is now."
Hailan frowned, lost in thought.
The knocking on the door continued, but Hailan was distracted.
Granny Wang instructed Hailan, "Go open the door."
"Huh?" Hailan's eyes widened. "Didn't the Princess Consort say she wouldn't let us through?"
Granny Wang snorted irritably, "You actually listen to the Princess's angry words? Do you want the Thirteenth Prince to go to another woman?"
Hailan shook her head like a rattle drum.
Wang Mama chuckled: "Then hurry up and go!"
Hailan nodded and hurriedly ran out.
Soon, Thirteen entered, supported by Li Shun'er. He was already somewhat delirious.
Li Shun'er was on the verge of tears: "Where is the Prince Consort? The Prince is dying."
Seeing the Thirteenth Prince's state, Granny Wang immediately understood and hurriedly went to fetch Heyue.
When Heyue heard the words, "Thirteenth Master, something bad has happened," her heart skipped a beat. She was incredulous and had no time to worry about them letting people in without permission.
He hurried out and saw Thirteen leaning on Li Shun'er's shoulder, his face flushed and his expression pained.
Thirteen, still half-asleep, saw Heyue standing in front of him. He quickly let go of Li Shun'er, stepped over her, and hugged her tightly: "Heyue, I feel terrible, help me... help me..."
He Yue stood still, her expression unchanged.
Li Shun'er knelt down and kowtowed to He Yue: "Fujin, the master really didn't mean it, please forgive him."
Noticing the other person's hand reaching into her clothes, Heyue grabbed his hand and moved away from him, instructing Wang Mama, Hailan, and the others, "Prepare cold water."
Wang Mama and Hailan were shocked, and Li Shun'er was also stunned. Suddenly, Li Shun'er knelt down and hugged Heyue's legs: "Fujin, you mustn't! How can the master bear such cold weather? You can't do this, I beg you!"
He Yue sneered, showing no mercy: "Why don't you just find any woman to help him? Didn't he just go to Guarjia's room? Since he likes it, let Guarjia help him. Hailan, send them away."
Li Shun'er was stunned.
Hailan hesitated, glancing at Granny Wang, but didn't move.
"What? You're not listening to me anymore?!" He Yue said sharply to Hai Lan.
Hailan shuddered and slowly stepped forward to drag Thirteen away.
Thirteen held her tightly, his lips brushing against her neck: "Heyue, help me... help me..."
