The Prince Consort's Beloved

He Wenzheng was still disparaging Xiao Luobai with a look of contempt. He said to Li Youan with a click of his tongue: "Your uncle is at best a businessman who knows a little bit of Kung Fu. Compared with your father, me..." He shook his head pretentiously and said: "No."

After he finished speaking, he gloated to Li Youan, "Your uncle was beaten half to death by your uncle a few days ago, and he came out of the palace lying there, did you know that?"

Li Youan asked him, "Father, didn't you also come out of the palace lying down that day?"

He Wenzheng immediately raised his voice and retorted: "How can Daddy be the same as him? He went to the palace just to be beaten. Didn't you see how brave Daddy was at Donghua Gate that day? If Daddy hadn't given up resistance for the sake of your and your mother's safety, how could he have let your uncle succeed! Believe it or not, your uncle-in-law must still be lying on the kang half dead right now!"

The more Qingzhou thought about it, the more he felt that He Wenzheng was not a good person. He kept pulling down Xiao Luobai just to highlight his own strengths. It was extremely hypocritical. He immediately had a better impression of Xiao Luobai.

After all, Xiao Luobai is devoted to Princess Shanyang no matter what. Although he is both talented in civil and military affairs, he gave up his official career and married into the princess's family. He also loves the princess and helps the eldest princess for her own sake. All their food and drink expenses come from Xiao Luobai, the god of wealth.

And what did He Wenzhen do? Although he was training soldiers for the eldest princess, he had been sending concubines to the eldest princess's mansion continuously over the years. Even though the people he sent later were somewhat difficult to distinguish between male and female, they were still concubines. Wasn't he afraid that the eldest princess would really be molested by someone!

This time he insisted on asking him to send someone off. Why? What does that person have to do with him, He Wenzheng, or Pei Qingzhou? Why does he care about that?

Just because He Wenzhen wanted to satisfy his shameless selfish desire to see Xiao Luobai suffer a loss, now, he can't go back.

He is now hiding in Princess Shanyang's mansion like a turtle, all thanks to He Wenzhen!

As Qingzhou thought about it, his chest began to rise and fall violently, and it was obvious that he was very angry.

He remembered that before sending him off, the eldest princess smiled and coaxed him: "Sister will not abandon you. She will definitely wait for you to come back and leave together."

Qingzhou gritted his teeth in hatred, wondering what means He Wenzhen had used to make the princess call herself "sister" and ask him to make this trip. The princess never called him that on weekdays.

It was because she called herself "Sister" that he softened his heart and agreed to this errand. Otherwise, he would never agree to leave the Princess's Mansion at this critical juncture.

Now, the number of guards outside Princess Shanyang's mansion has increased several times, and the entire mansion has been surrounded. It is so airtight that no matter how good his lightness skills are, he cannot get out at the moment.

The day for burying the coffin had been set, and the emperor was constantly interrogated by important officials in the court about He Wenzhen's death. It was said that Censor Cao hit his head against a pillar in public during the morning court session, and his head was bleeding and it was a horrible sight. He barely managed to survive.

If the emperor still disagreed with the deceased's return to his hometown for burial, it would cause an uproar in the court, so the emperor was forced to allow He Wenzhen's coffin to be returned to his hometown for burial. Everything was a foregone conclusion and could not be changed.

It is imperative for everyone from the Princess's Mansion to go to Huiyang City.

If he couldn't go back, they wouldn't wait for him.

No, it's not that I won't wait for him, it's that I can't wait...

They were going to Huiyang City tomorrow, and he was left alone...

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. He raised his head and broke down crying, "Sister, are you going to abandon me..."

The next day, Li Yuanrou moved back to his own Qingmei Garden. Xiao Luobai ordered people to move his things to Qingmei Garden as well. He endured the severe pain and went to Qingli Garden to see his so-called "mistress". He found that he did not know this person. He asked Xiaotian and Erya to keep an eye on this person and report to him as soon as possible if she woke up.

Xiao Luobai came out of the Green Pear Garden, and walked into the gate of the Green Plum Garden with his head held high and his chest puffed out in a graceful manner.

As soon as he entered the Green Plum Garden, he bent his straight back and explained to Li Yuanrou that he did not know the woman.

Li Yuanrou said sarcastically, "Oh, the prince consort's injury hasn't healed yet, but he's already in a hurry to visit his mistress. It seems like he really loves her very much."

Xiao Luobai explained earnestly: "Rou'er, I really don't have any other women, nor do I have any concubines. If you don't believe me, ask Qingfeng and Kunpeng."

Li Yuanrou snorted and laughed: "They are all your subordinates, so they will naturally help you conceal it."

Xiao Luobai was feeling depressed. He felt that no matter how he explained, he couldn't make it clear. He could only wait for the woman to wake up so that he could confront her face to face.

He hated He Wenzhen even more in his heart, thinking that He Wenzhen had been plotted against by the emperor and almost lost his life, so he became mentally twisted and was only afraid that the world would not be in chaos. He was a villain and disgusting!

For two consecutive days, Li Yuanrou left Qingmei Garden as soon as she woke up. She didn't even have breakfast with Xiao Luobai. She also deliberately instructed the people guarding the yard to tell Xiao Luobai that she was going to find He Lin.

During those two days, Xiao Luobai wanted to get close to Li Yuanrou and hug her, but Li Yuanrou avoided him.

When they went to bed at night, Li Yuanrou placed a quilt between the two of them. She herself was also very far away from Xiao Luobai, wishing she could sleep against the wall.

Li Yuanrou got up early that morning and was about to go out again. Xiao Luobai finally couldn't help but hold her back and pretended to be pitiful: "Rou'er, my wound hurts..."

Li Yuanrou hid the smile in her eyes and said calmly: "But as far as I know, your injury has healed."

Li Yuanrou was no longer angry. She was just teasing Xiao Luobai out of boredom. She enjoyed seeing Xiao Luobai being jealous and trying to please her at the same time, and she found it very cute.

There was a hint of childish willfulness in Xiao Luo's white eyes, and he said pitifully: "That hurts too."

Kunpeng, who was hiding in the dark, gave a thumbs up, thinking that the master was really flexible and could pretend to be so weak that he could never compare to him.

Li Yuanrou suppressed her smile and said, "Aren't you usually the best at enduring pain?"

Xiao Luobai pretended to be helpless: "Being able to endure the pain doesn't mean it doesn't hurt, Rou'er, I really feel pain, can you stay with me for a day today?"

Li Yuanrou tried to touch Xiao Luobai's head as he did in the past, but failed, so she patted his shoulder instead.

She smiled harmlessly and said meaningfully, "But I still have things to do."

Xiao Luobai was speechless for a moment and sulked to himself.

He was so angry that he couldn't speak and just snorted in annoyance.

Li Yuanrou looked calm on the surface, but she was actually very happy inside. The last time she saw Xiao Luobai acting like a puppy was when she found out that he was Helian Luobai. Xiao Luobai had also been so humble and submissive in trying to please her.

Li Yuanrou was in high spirits. She had a faint smile on her lips and said with a teasing tone, "What are you humming, Prince Consort? You look unhappy. You used to love to laugh in front of me, but why aren't you laughing now?"

She answered her own question and said exaggeratedly: "Oh, by the way, the Prince Consort doesn't like to laugh."

Kunpeng, who was hiding, nodded secretly. This silly princess was right about this one thing. Our master really doesn't like to laugh.

Li Yuanrou was about to leave in style, but Xiao Luobai stretched out his hand to stop her and asked in a slightly unhappy tone, "Are you so happy to see He Lin?"

Li Yuanrou said as a matter of course: "Yes, this princess is happy. This princess is different from the prince consort. This princess loves to laugh by nature. Why, if you are really free, why don't you go and see how your concubine is doing? It's time for her to wake up."

Li Yuanrou brushed his hand away and walked out with a happy smile on her face.
