He carefully covered her with the blanket, not daring to meet her angry eyes. He lowered his eyes and gave a bitter smile: "Heyue, don't blame me, I had no choice."
What do you mean by "no other choice"? Wasn't it still a matter of using force?
He Yue was filled with resentment and anger, so she closed her eyes and ignored him.
A hint of sadness flashed in Thirteen's eyes, but it was only for a moment before his dark eyes returned to calm. He stood up and called for Hailan and Chunya.
"If anyone dares to let go of the Fujin, I will immediately throw her out of the manor!" Thirteen looked coldly at the two maids, his whole body exuding a chilling and terrifying aura.
Hailan and Chun Ya looked at He Yue's expression, then at Thirteen's frosty face. They shrank back, exchanged glances, and dared not disobey. They whispered their agreement.
He Yue immediately opened her eyes again, glaring at his back, and gritted her teeth: "You bastard!"
Thirteen seemed not to hear and walked out on his own.
After Thirteen left, the two maids rushed forward anxiously and asked, "Madam, are you alright?"
He Yue was seething with hatred, and glared at the two maids: "Untie me now!"
Hailan and Chunya exchanged a glance, both looking mournful: "Madam, we servants don't want to leave the princess. Please bear with it and wait until the prince's anger subsides."
He Yue's face darkened instantly, her eyes blazing with fury: "Are you my maids or his maids?!"
Chun Ya lowered her head, not daring to meet He Yue's angry gaze.
Hailan chuckled boldly, "Don't worry, Madam, the Master will definitely not have the heart to do anything to you. He will come to untie you in a little while. You should rest well. This servant really doesn't want to be kicked out of the manor. Then there will be no one to help you, Princess."
Under He Yue's angry glare, Hai Lan blushed and smiled apologetically: "Madam, if you are tired, please rest for a while. We servants will keep you company."
"Then take this damn thing away from me!" Heyue took a deep breath and decided not to argue with them.
She understood that Thirteen was serious this time. Although she didn't know why he had suddenly changed, she couldn't bear to make things difficult for her girl.
Hailan bit her lip, her eyes darting away, hesitating, "But, but, Master will blame this servant..."
"He didn't say you couldn't take this thing! What are you afraid of? If he wants to punish you, I'm here!" Heyue shouted angrily.
This thirteenth prince usually treats his servants very well, and who has ever been afraid of him? Yet this time, even his own maid was so frightened by him that she dared not listen to him.
Hailan shrank her neck, still shaking her head like a rattle: "My lady, I heard from Granny Wang that this can help you have children. The master is just thinking of you and wants you to give birth to the little prince as soon as possible. Please don't be angry with the master."
Hearing her words, Heyue was speechless with bitterness.
Why does this Granny Wang tell them everything?
Hailan is so stubborn. She clearly knows what I mean but still says it like that, deliberately going against me. How did I raise such a bunch of ungrateful wretches?!
“I have my reasons. I can’t have children right now. You are my maid, so you should know that I don’t make baseless accusations. Just listen to me, get the things for me, and then bring me the medicine.” He Yue glared at her coldly, her expression brooking no refusal.
Hailan, with a bitter face, hesitated for a long time before finally carefully stepping forward to the soft pillow under Heyue's dissatisfied glare.
He Yue breathed a sigh of relief and immediately felt something flowing out.
Hailan took a small box from a small drawer by the bedside, opened it, and took out a familiar black pill. She hesitated and looked at Heyue: "Madam, are you sure you want to take this? The master has been looking forward to it."
Heyue was still bound hand and foot and unable to move. She rolled her eyes and said fiercely, "Listen to me, hurry up and feed me!"
Hailan dared not disobey again. She waited for Chun Ya to bring warm water and then put the pill to Heyue's lips.
Heyue opened her mouth, about to eat.
Suddenly, with a loud "bang!", the tightly closed door was kicked open.
All three were startled by the loud noise and turned around abruptly.
A familiar, tall figure in a sky-blue robe strode in, his gaze sharp as a sword, piercing the pill that Hailan was holding.
Heyue stared in astonishment at Thirteen, who had suddenly barged in, then glanced at the pills in Hailan's hand. She felt dizzy and thought to herself, "It's all over."
That's incredibly unlucky!
Hailan was so frightened by the terrifying gaze that her hand trembled, and the pill fell from her hand, rolled once on the floor, and rolled off the bed.
Realizing what had happened, Hailan and Chunya turned pale and fell to their knees with a thud, their foreheads hitting the ground, but they couldn't say a word.
Thirteen's face was ashen, and his murderous gaze fell on Hailan and Chunya, making the two maids tremble violently as if they had needles in their backs.
His gaze shifted, then settled on He Yue's blank face, which seemed to hold extreme pain and disappointment as he glared at her hatefully.
Knowing that things had come to this point, there was no room for further explanation.
Judging from the commotion he made when he rushed in, and his unsurprised expression now, it seemed he had expected this all along.
He Yue had given up hope and calmly looked him straight in the eye.
Thirteen steps seemed incredibly heavy with each step he took, his gaze never leaving He Yue's, as if trying to see the expression on her face and understand what kind of person she truly was.
Finally, he walked up to them.
He didn't look at the two maids, but coldly said, "Get out!"
Hailan and Chun Ya hesitated, but did not leave.
He Yue sighed softly and instructed, "You may all leave now."
