The Prince Consort's Beloved

Li Yuanrou said angrily, "Can you be more serious? I still want to go to his wedding. There will be a general amnesty tomorrow. I will take this opportunity to mention the matter of returning to the fiefdom and try to get him to agree. This way we can avoid fighting and leave openly."

When Xiao Luobai heard her mention this, his smile disappeared again.

He asked in a negotiating tone: "Is it okay not to go?"

Li Yuanrou lowered her eyebrows: "Go ahead, I promised him..."

Xiao Luobai hesitated: "What if..."

He didn't say anything else. He didn't know what would happen today, but he had a strong bad premonition.

Li Yuanrou smiled and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Yuanqi won't harm me, don't worry. I told him I'll be back after the ceremony. It will be quick."

Xiao Luobai forced a smile, but his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and the inexplicable panic in his heart rose again.

He Lin has not shown up for no reason in the past two days, and He Lin has not been able to contact Ji Hu and Ji Feng for a few days, so he is afraid that something has happened to them.

The last time He Lin came, he brought news about Helian Yueli.

Helian Yueli was already in dire straits. No one expected that the emperor of Beiluo would suddenly become seriously ill. He didn't know if someone had done something to him.

The situation is critical now. If he does not go back to take over the throne, not only will everything Helian Yueli and Zhuge Hongzhan have done be in vain, but their lives will also be in danger. Concubine Xian will definitely kill them all.

He, Xiao Luobai, is their only way out now, but if he goes back, he will embark on the path of becoming an emperor again in this life, and that is not the life he wants.

He has been restless and hesitant these past two days, and the emperor's experiences in that life have often appeared in his mind recently.

He thought that it would be better to go to Shanyang City first and make plans later. After all, he couldn't let Rou'er stay in Shangjing.

When he arrived in Shanyang City, even if he had to leave, Li Yuanrou still had the eldest princess with her, so she wouldn't be too lonely. He could also rest assured that he would go back to see her after finishing all his affairs.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Yuanrou raised her head from his arms and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Luobai came back to his senses, put his arms around her waist tightly, and hugged her tighter.

He leaned his head and kissed her forehead lovingly, and said, "Be careful and alert after entering the palace today. Remember to come back early. I'll wait for you."

He also instructed: "Tell Qingluan and Daya to follow you tomorrow, and especially don't drink. Remember?"

Li Yuanrou nodded and said "hmm".

Xiao Luobai patted her and said softly, "Be good, sleep a little longer, you will be very tired today."

Li Yuanrou hummed again, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Xiao Luobai held the person in his arms, just holding him quietly, feeling the person's breath and body temperature in his arms, and a sense of peace and satisfaction gradually rose in his heart.

But I couldn't fall asleep again.

The familiar yet strange clear voice in my mind spoke again: "A pair of passionate eyes."

When the white-haired emperor recalled these words many years later, he said to himself, "I am filled with longing for you."

……

Xiao Luobai's hand unconsciously patted Li Yuanrou's back.

He looked at the sleeping person in his arms, and then fell into meditation again.

A pair of affectionate eyes, full of lovesickness.

Zhao Zhao is dead, the emperor is dead, the previous life is gone, and this life continues.

Xiao Luobai couldn't help but think of the endings of his three lives.

A hundred years of longing in the human world, a thousand years of waiting in the divine world, she would rather die than meet him again.

He removed his celestial bones, stripped off his divine nature, and promised himself to meet her in nine lifetimes.

Everything had been arranged before he left, and he and she should have lived together forever. What went wrong?

The only thing that was clear was the day when I came out of the Great Compassion Temple. Now, the memories of those three lives were becoming increasingly blurred, like quicksand in one's hands, the memories were slipping away and disappearing.

Especially the memories about the God Realm. It had only been a short time, but he had already forgotten most of them. If he hadn't been dreaming recently, he would have probably forgotten most of them from that life with Zhao Zhao.

He closed his eyes tiredly and stopped thinking about it.

The previous life or the next life is not important now. What is important is where to go in this life.

He opened his eyes and once again lowered his gaze to stare at the person beside him, his dark eyes were deep and unfathomable.

His cool fingertips were stained with her body temperature, and he murmured to himself: "A pair of affectionate eyes, a heart full of tenderness, I only wish to grow old with you, and never abandon you in the underworld."

He lowered his head and kissed her beautiful forehead gently.

Little did she know that this kiss would become a farewell kiss.

…………

In the magnificent palace.

The sound of drums and music resounded through the sky, like the sound of nature, leading all things in the world to celebrate the wedding of the emperor and empress.

The emperor and empress stood on the high platform, smiled at each other, and looked deeply in love.

The golden and red glow in the sky spread out like a brocade, shining brightly on the two of them.

Li Yuanqi glanced at Li Yuanrou in the distance, and the smile on his face faded a little.

In fact, they were quite far away, so he couldn't see the expression on Li Yuanrou's face at all. But seeing her figure made him think that after today, his sister would become a bird in a cage.

But Li Yuanrou was delighted at this time. Her brother had started a family and she would be free too. It could be considered a double happiness.

She glanced around and inadvertently saw Chang Si, who was looking sad, not far away. She quietly moved over.

"Grandpa Chang, your granddaughter is already the queen, why do you look a little unhappy?"

She looked up at the two dazzling protagonists and sighed to herself, "Look, how well-matched they are. The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, and they are in love with each other. They are a match made in heaven."

She clicked her tongue twice: "Back then you wanted to break up the couple."

This time, Chang Si was not frightened by the title "Grandpa Chang". He seemed to have aged instantly, and his voice was full of vicissitudes of life.

"Old minister..." He stopped talking.

He realized that he had resigned from office and should no longer call himself a "minister."

He sighed, "It's not that easy to be the queen. Your Majesty has more than just Chang Xinyi in the harem. Your Majesty has also taken in six concubines, all of whom are from the families of the three dukes and nine ministers. I am just a commoner now... If Xinyi hadn't been determined to get married, I would never have agreed to this marriage."

He sighed again: "Xinyi is a simple girl, she can't sit on the throne..."

Li Yuanrou disagreed. She asked in confusion, "Yuanqi has loved your granddaughter since she was young. Even if you, Grandpa Chang, leave the court from now on, Yuanqi should be able to protect her. After all, he is the king of a country. Can't he protect the one he loves?"

Chang Si had a helpless look on his face, and his voice was filled with a sense of powerlessness and defeat: "I have been working in the court for many years. At my age, there is nothing I cannot understand. Even if His Majesty is sincere, what can he do? He cannot protect him..."

Chang Si's old voice suddenly choked with sobs: "Your Majesty is playing a big game of chess, and we are all chess pieces. Being chess pieces is fine, but I'm afraid we will be abandoned pieces..."

Chang Si took a deep breath and said, "The world is changing. It's going to change."

Li Yuanrou frowned, feeling that Chang Si's words were quite meaningful, and she looked at him inquiringly.

Chang Si just looked at her deeply, and then shook his head dejectedly as if he was helpless.

Li Yuanrou had a bad feeling in her heart, and she asked, "Grandpa Chang, has anything big happened recently?"

Chang Yi remained silent.
