Although I really wanted to keep a straight face and make her anxious, I couldn't keep it up when I saw her gentle, smiling face.
He sighed, realizing he was doomed for her.
"Tonight I'll have the wet nurse take care of the children." He Yue coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed, but still managed to say it.
He's already come of his own accord, so what is there for me to hold back? Besides, after hearing Hailan's words yesterday, Heyue still feels sorry for him.
She told herself that this was a reward for him for not touching other women these days.
Thirteen's eyes lit up, a smile played on his lips, and he reached out to embrace Heyue, planting a kiss on her temple and whispering in her ear, "Yes, ma'am!"
"What orders do you want?!" He Yue glared at him angrily. How dare he deliberately misinterpret her words.
But isn't that the subtext of Heyue?
However, the other party was shameless and said the words that He Yue had never said.
This breakfast tasted especially delicious today.
After their meal, the two went for a walk in the garden. It was late autumn, and the weather was getting colder. The withered leaves on the trees were scattered all over the ground.
A cold wind suddenly rose, and Thirteen Gang members pulled the cloak over Yue's shoulders, pulling her whole body into their arms. Yue felt much warmer.
It's cold here, but it must be even colder outside.
Separated by a wall, one cannot feel the turmoil outside.
With each other by our side, we feel much more at ease and at peace.
He Yue suddenly remembered the important matter, gestured for Hai Lan and the others to step back, and looked up at the gentle and handsome man in front of her.
"Have you thought it through this time?" Thirteen disagreed before because he couldn't let go of everything in the capital. Now that things have come to this, there's no point in staying any longer.
The palace is safe now, but there's no guarantee that there won't be any other crises.
Since Prince Lian has just taken over the Imperial Household Department, it would be easy for him to do something to the thirteenth prince.
It's better to stay far away and let the sky's the limit.
Heyue didn't want to see him end up like that, plagued by illness and dying young.
She always suspected that the thirteen historical illnesses had been delayed for so many years because of the interference of other people.
Otherwise, no matter how much Emperor Kangxi disliked this son, he would not have allowed the thirteenth son's condition to worsen without sending an imperial physician to treat him.
Perhaps the imperial physician did treat the patient, but he was bribed and did not treat the patient with care.
Thirteen paused, the smile on his lips gradually fading, replaced by a bitter one: "Even if Father Emperor has abandoned me, I am still Father Emperor's son after all. Father Emperor will not allow a prince to wander outside."
"Anyway, he's already agreed. His word is law, so I don't believe he'll really go back on his word." He Yue sensed the softening in his voice, breathed a sigh of relief, and huffed angrily.
As for Emperor Kangxi, as long as Heyue is willing to swallow her pride and throw a tantrum, I don't believe Emperor Kangxi wouldn't agree.
However, being confined to his residence, it is truly difficult for him to see Emperor Kangxi.
According to the Thirteenth Prince, Prince Yong often came to visit him, which shows that Emperor Kangxi still felt some reluctance towards the Thirteenth Prince.
Thinking of this, Heyue sighed. Last time, her fourth brother clearly disagreed with their leaving the capital. How could she persuade him to convince Kangxi?
She still doesn't understand why he disagrees.
When Fourth Brother arrives, I'll try to persuade him again.
To He Yue's surprise, she soon met Prince Yong, but he went straight to the study with Thirteen to talk, not giving He Yue a chance to speak at all.
They sent someone to keep an eye on the other side, and as soon as they finished speaking, they came to relay the message. Heyue waited anxiously in the room, feeling that something was about to happen.
"Princess Consort, please rest assured. It's just Prince Yong coming to visit His Majesty. Nothing could possibly happen," Hailan comforted gently.
He Yue sighed. How could she not worry? She was afraid that disaster would strike out of nowhere while she was sitting at home.
About an hour later, the maidservant came to report that Thirteen and Prince Yong had left the study, but Prince Yong did not stay long and had already left, while Thirteen was coming this way.
He Yue sat sullenly in the armchair, took a big gulp of tea, and slammed the teacup down on the table.
What? You left without saying a word?
Thirteen entered the house with a happy expression, but when he saw Heyue's angry face, he suddenly paused and walked over quickly: "What's wrong? Who made you unhappy?"
He Yue glared at him fiercely: "It's all your fault!"
Seeing his confusion, Heyue simply dismissed the maid and asked directly, "Did you tell Fourth Brother about that matter?"
"What is it?" Thirteen was confused, but when he met He Yue's angry eyes, he immediately understood and sat down with a smile: "You're angry about this? It's nothing!"
How could it not be big?! He Yue really wanted to punch him on the head to teach him a lesson.
Thirteen knew she was doing this for him, so he took his hand and smiled gently, "Don't worry, Fourth Brother has made all the arrangements. I came here today to talk about this."
He Yue was taken aback. What did this mean?
Thirteen sighed and slowly explained, "I didn't expect that Fourth Brother had already made arrangements. What I didn't expect even more was that Father Emperor would agree. It seems that Father Emperor is not entirely without fatherly affection for me."
At this point, a smile appeared on his lips, but it quickly disappeared.
"It's just that I can't see my father one last time and kowtow to him in person. Now I have to leave him again. I am unfilial."
He Yue pouted, "I've already imprisoned you, what kind of father-son relationship are we talking about?"
However, she understood that filial piety was paramount in this era, and besides, Kangxi's actions could be considered merciful, so she stopped arguing about it.
Thirteen looked at Heyue, tightened his grip on her hand, and smiled again: "Fourth Brother said that the carriage has been prepared and will be waiting for us at the back gate in two days. Then you and I can leave."
"You and me?" Although He Yue was very happy when she first heard the news, she quickly realized that something was wrong.
"Why is it just you and me? Is it just the two of us? Where's the child?" Heyue asked repeatedly, her eyes wide.
Thirteen's eyes flickered, hesitant to speak, he held her hand tightly, paused for a moment, and then whispered, "Heyue, there's something I need to tell you, please don't be angry."
"Speak!" He Yue took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and sneered. At this moment, she had already realized something, but she just wanted to hear him say it with her own ears.
Seeing her looking like she was about to devour someone, Thirteen shrank back, awkwardly touched his nose, and to prevent her from going berserk, stepped forward and hugged her body, carefully explaining, "You see, since we are leaving, the environment outside is definitely not as good as the capital. It's going to be a lot of hardship, how can the children, who are so young, endure it? So, when Fourth Brother mentioned it, I agreed to let Hongchang, Tongxuan, and Tonghui stay at Fourth Brother's residence."
Seeing the anger on her face as she was about to stand up, Thirteen tightly embraced her and hurriedly advised, "Heyue, don't be in such a hurry, okay? Think about it, I'm doing this for the children's sake. You wouldn't want the children to suffer with us, would you? Besides, if you miss them, you can bring Hongchang to live with you when they're older. Hongchang is a boy, and he needs to see the world. Of course, you can also bring Tongxuan and Tonghui to live with you. It's all up to you."
