When the Thirteenth Prince revealed that she had instructed someone to murder the imperial heir, Lady Fucha initially tried to deny it, but then knelt down and said that she was innocent.
Thirteen sneered disdainfully, which stung Fucha's eyes.
Then I saw the maid I had ordered brought in, covered in wounds.
When the Thirteenth Prince asked, the maid said that it was Fucha who had instructed her.
Lady Fucha collapsed to the ground, her face ashen.
I didn't expect that the maid would confess so easily. I had clearly threatened her with her family.
However, when faced with life, who can care about anything else?
Since things had come to this point, there was no point in saying more. Lady Fucha had no choice but to confess her guilt and beg for mercy. Seeing that the Thirteenth Prince was unmoved, she hurriedly knelt and crawled to Heyue's side, hugging her legs and begging for forgiveness.
Before Heyue could react, Thirteen, disgusted that she had soiled Heyue's clothes, frowned in disgust, ordered her to be pulled away and locked in the woodshed, to await the palace's punishment.
Lady Fucha cried and screamed all the way until her voice gradually faded into the distance.
Once everyone else was out of the room, He Yue sighed, "Human nature is indeed treacherous."
A simple thing can drive a person to the brink of depravity and do something irreversible.
Thirteen put his arm around her waist and smiled, "Why are you thinking about these things?"
He Yue glanced at him and said, "I'm just glad that Wu Su wasn't really pregnant, otherwise the child would be innocent."
Thirteen chuckled, pinched her cheek with her hand, and said softly, "Where does this pointless sympathy of yours come from?"
Heyue glared at him, annoyed: "What do you mean by pointless sympathy? He's an innocent child, after all."
Thirteen chuckled: "No matter how strong you pretend to be on the surface, you're still soft-hearted and too naive."
He Yue was indignant; how could she be so naive?!
Before she could object, Thirteen nuzzled her face and spoke again: "This wasn't originally my plan. I just wanted her to miscarry accidentally, but it turned out like this. There's something I need to remind you: if Wusu had really been pregnant, the outcome would have been different."
He Yue raised an eyebrow. What does that mean?
She thought Thirteen knew that Lady Fucha was going to take action, but judging from his words, that might not be the case.
Seeing her question, Thirteen curled his lips slightly, his eyes cold: "Wu Su and Fucha have always been at odds, and she has long harbored resentment towards Fucha. Therefore, when she learned that Fucha had bribed her maid, she pretended not to know and let things develop. Firstly, she could have a smooth 'miscarriage,' and secondly, she could take the opportunity to teach Fucha a lesson."
He Yue was stunned.
I never expected things to turn out this way.
Then I felt there was nothing surprising about it.
It seems that Ms. Wusu is not a naive girl. At such a young age, she has such cunning, which is chilling.
However, the fact that Thirteen was able to find these things shows that he is on a completely different level than Wusu.
I never expected that Thirteen, who looks so cute and cuddly but is occasionally cunning, is such a scheming person.
No wonder he came from royalty.
"What should be done with Fucha?" To be honest, although Fucha's initial intentions were sinister, she did not cause any harm. Instead, she was used and framed by Wusu.
However, since it involves "imperial heirs," it's unlikely they can escape easily.
As expected, Thirteen did not hesitate at all, his eyes icy cold: "Father Emperor will not spare her!"
In one sentence, the fate of Lady Fucha was sealed.
However, Thirteen's unusual ruthlessness still made Heyue feel somewhat uncomfortable.
It's not that I'm being overly kind or have a saintly heart; I'm kind to strangers but I never sympathize with them.
Besides, it was their own fault.
She always thought that Thirteen was a simple boy at heart, but she forgot that there was no kindness in the royal family.
Seeing Heyue's expression change slightly, Thirteen assumed she was frightened by him. He pressed his face against hers and explained softly, "A person like that will always be a menace in the manor. What would you do if she harmed our child one day?"
Undeniably, Heyue was moved by those words.
For the first time, I felt that the person in front of me was no longer a boy, but a man.
Heyue doesn't dislike ruthless people, especially since she herself isn't a simple and kind person. As long as he remains consistent towards her and the family, he's a good man.
The thought of her child being harmed in the future filled her with a surge of anger. She thought she would make the perpetrator regret ever being born.
She looked up, gave him a light kiss on the lips, and smiled broadly: "This is a reward for you."
Thirteen's eyes lit up, and his mouth stretched to the back of his ears, making him look silly.
After that, there was no one from the Fucha family in the mansion.
No one has mentioned it again.
Emperor Kangxi felt great regret for this "unborn grandson of the emperor," and summoned the thirteenth prince alone to comfort him and bestow some gifts upon him.
That was the end of that.
One day, Heyue was doing nothing and felt that she had become lazier since getting married. She thought of going horseback riding with her sixth sister and Yuxiu before Yuxiu got married.
When they arrived at the destination, Heyue saw Yuxiu, but she couldn't find her sixth sister for a long time.
The two of them started playing.
Perhaps because she was about to marry the Twelfth Prince, Yuxiu was in high spirits, her face was rosy, and she was nervous: "To be honest, I have never been alone with the Twelfth Prince before, and I don't know if he is willing to accept me."
It's hard to say, but the Twelfth Prince is such a gentle person, treating everyone with kindness and reason. It's unlikely that Yuxiu would suffer any injustice.
Therefore, Heyue patted her shoulder with great confidence: "Don't worry about that. The Twelfth Prince is not the kind of person to make things difficult for women. Besides, I think you two have very similar temperaments, so you'll definitely be able to get along."
"I hope so," Yuxiu forced a smile.
He Yue chuckled inwardly; Yu Xiu's behavior really did seem like pre-wedding anxiety.
