The Prince Consort's Beloved

He Lin paused, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little: "I have been looking for it for so many years. If I can't find it, it must be God's will..."

Li Yuanrou said, "Don't be too discouraged. There are too many servants in this princess's mansion, and I can't remember all their names at once. I will order the housekeeper to check the names of all the servants in the mansion to see if there is a person named He Ling."

He Lin was overjoyed: "Thank you very much, Princess."

Then he frowned again, worried: "I don't know what happened to my brother after he got lost. Maybe he changed his name..."

The two discussed it again and made several plans. For example, if they couldn't find anyone named He Ling, they would gather the servants together to identify the jade pendant.

Or according to He Lin's description, pick out all the males who meet the age requirements and let He Lin identify them.

However, this would be a huge project, and Li Yuanrou would probably be busy for a while. But now he is trapped in this mansion with nothing to do, so he might as well do a good deed.

He Lin is even less afraid of trouble. He has been searching for his brother for several years but has not heard of him at all. Now that he has a clue, how could he be afraid of trouble?

Li Yuanrou withdrew the palace soldiers guarding the gate of Qingning Garden, and He Lin was free.

Li Yuanrou gave the order and the housekeeper began to help find someone.

Li Yuanrou felt a little hungry. She hadn't had breakfast yet. Thinking that she had come out in a hurry and Xiao Luobai hadn't had breakfast either, she hurried back.

In the Qingzhu Garden, breakfast was placed on the table untouched. Li Yuanrou looked at Xiao Luobai with a wry smile.

Xiao Luobai snorted lightly, turned his head to the side of the bed with an awkward look on his face, and didn't look at her.

Li Yuanrou came forward and held Xiao Luobai's big hands with both hands, and said attentively: "Husband, don't be angry. You haven't had breakfast yet. Are you hungry? I'll feed you."

As she spoke, she stood up and fetched a bowl of porridge. She touched it and found it was still warm, so it must have been served not long ago.

Scooping a spoonful of porridge and bringing it to Xiao Luobai's side, Xiao Luobai turned his head and asked, "What did you say? You look like you're having a good time chatting. Are you attracted to him?"

Li Yuanrou snickered and deliberately didn't answer him: "You eat first, I haven't eaten yet, I'm hungry too, I'll eat after you're full."

Xiao Luobai swallowed a mouthful of porridge with her hand, and brought the bowl over before asking, "What did he say to you? Did he pester you? Did he use the imperial decree to pressure you?"

Li Yuanrou smiled and walked to the table and brought two more plates of food to place on the edge of the bed. She then took a low stool, brought a bowl of porridge, and sat on the stool to eat with Xiao Luobai.

Li Yuanrou glanced at the awkward Xiao Luobai and felt that she had not seen him so jealous for a long time, so she became playful.

She replied: "Nothing, he gave me a jade pendant, it looks very valuable."

Xiao Luo stopped eating his rice, and said in an annoyed tone, "What good jade can he have that can compare to my priceless jade pendant from the Helian royal family? I gave you the dragon-shaped jade pendant to play with, but you don't even care about it. How can you be interested in his jade pendant?"

Li Yuanrou smiled without saying anything, and picked up some food for Xiao Luobai, telling him to stop talking and eat first.

She ate a bowl of porridge in a hurry and stood up to walk out: "You eat first, I have something else to do. If you have anything, call Jing Lei. When I came here just now, I saw little Jing Lei coming too."

The voice drifted farther and farther away, and Xiao Luobai put down the bowl angrily.

He was so angry that he couldn't eat. He was seriously injured, but Li Yuanrou didn't care as much as before.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt a sense of crisis. Could it be that He Lin was so good at sweet talk that he had tricked his Rou'er away?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. This was mainly because Li Yuanrou was indeed too simple-minded and too kind-hearted, often sympathizing with others.

If He Lin played any tricks, Li Yuanrou would be easily fooled.

If I hadn't been injured, it would have been fine. I would never let another man get close to Li Yuanrou. Now I couldn't even get up...

He could stand up by force, but it would be too embarrassing. How could he stand in front of his rival in such an embarrassing state?

After a lot of random thoughts, he became more and more panicked, so he called Jing Lei in and asked him to see what Li Yuanrou was doing.

Jing Lei came back after some investigation and reported that Li Yuanrou was helping He Lin find someone.

After Jing Lei finished his report, Li Yuanrou came back. They did not find anyone named He Ling on the servants' list.

Li Yuanrou was too lazy to care about He Lin's short-lived enthusiasm, so she ordered the butler to help He Lin find someone, and then she came back.

Li Yuanrou was feeling a little tired, but when she came back and saw Xiao Luobai's jealous look, she smiled again.

Xiao Luobai looked at Li Yuanrou, who was smiling, and snorted coldly: "Your Highness the Princess is really busy. She is so concerned about the affairs of outsiders, but she doesn't care at all about her husband who is seriously injured."

Li Yuanrou leaned forward and sat on the bedside to pull Xiao Luobai's hand: "Why are you still calling me Princess? I came back to see you. Besides, I'm just bored."

Xiao Luobai snorted again arrogantly, then looked at Li Yuanrou's flattering expression and sighed helplessly.

His eyes darkened, and he thought that Rou'er was playful and restless, and it would be boring for her to be trapped in this mansion every day.

The emperor's men are watching closely and his men cannot go out for the time being. They don't know what the situation is outside. In front of Feng Mansion, Ji Hu came to report that the emperor had killed He Wenzhen. After reporting, he hurried back to monitor Prince Yun.

This makes it possible to associate the emperor with making things difficult for him in the Changsheng Palace because he learned that he provided money to the eldest princess. The emperor suspected that there was something between him and the eldest princess. After all, he was instructed by the late emperor to be the eldest princess's consort.

Now that he has entered the Shanyang Princess's residence, he is secretly helping the Princess to provide money...

Li Yuanrou looked at Xiao Luobai who was still distracted by jealousy, and poked him suspiciously, asking, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about? Your eyes are straight."

Xiao Luobai came back to his senses and met Li Yuanrou's bright and smiling almond eyes.

A trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he said bluntly: "He Wenzheng is dead."

The smile on Li Yuanrou's face froze instantly. She stood up in shock: "Who are you talking about? Who died?"

Xiao Luobai pulled her to sit down again and sighed, "The day before yesterday, just as we left the palace, He Wenzheng entered the palace. He was shot dead by Li Yuanqi inside the Donghua Gate, and his body has been taken back to the Princess's Mansion by the Princess."

Li Yuanrou was shocked, a little bit unbelievable, and then hurriedly asked: "Where is the elder sister? How is the elder sister? And An'er, are the elder sister and An'er okay?"

Xiao Luobai patted her hands to calm her down: "The Princess and Li Youan are both fine."

Li Yuanrou was still feeling uneasy. He Wenzheng was as important to her elder sister as Xiao Luobai was to her. If He Wenzheng died, then her elder sister...

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, and she felt even more uneasy. She said to Xiao Luobai hurriedly, "You should recuperate in the mansion first. I am worried. I have to go to my elder sister."

As she spoke, she stood up, looking very anxious.

Xiao Luobai held her back and said, "Rou'er, the Princess's Mansion is now surrounded by people sent by Li Yuanqi, just like our mansion. You can't leave the Princess's Mansion now. Even if you leave, you can't enter the Princess's Mansion."

Li Yuanrou reacted and sat back on the bed. She was a little dazed for a moment. After a while, she came to her senses and thought about why Yuanqi wanted to kill He Wenzhen.

She began to review the series of events that had happened in recent days, and finally with the help of Xiao Luobai, she successfully connected the beginning and end of all things.
