The Prince Consort's Beloved

Prince Yun ignored Li Yuanrou's resentful look. He stared at Xiao Luobai and said in a cold voice, "Why deceive yourself? It's not like you haven't received any news. Not only are there people from the Second Prince of Beiluo waiting to kill you, but there are also people from Li Yuanqi waiting to take your life. You can't stay in this princess's mansion, and there is no place for you in Dayue. Now you are not only injured, but also poisoned. You are already in a difficult situation, and you still want to take her away. Are you sure you can protect her?"

Li Yuanrou was startled when she heard this. She looked at Xiao Luobai and asked, "Is what he said true?"

She hurried to check Xiao Luobai's wound and asked, "Are you poisoned?"

Xiao Luobai grabbed her hand, his expression became forbearing, as if he was making a difficult decision.

He expected that someone wanted to deal with him, but he didn't expect that people from Beiluo would also come. Now he really has no confidence in protecting Li Yuanrou.

He originally thought that he could take Li Yuanrou away because he knew that Prince Yun and Li Yuanqi's men would not touch Li Yuanrou. No matter what, Li Yuanrou was safe, so he was relieved.

But it’s different for Beiluo’s people. He has no confidence at all.

Li Yuanrou looked at Xiao Luobai's dilemma and her heart suddenly sank.

Prince Yun said again: "Go back to your Beiluo. Li Yuanqi's men are coming soon. If you hesitate any longer, you will really not be able to leave."

Prince Yun calculated the time and found that the people sent by Li Yuanqi to collect the bodies and investigate should be arriving soon.

He tempted her again, "Take your subordinates and leave now. You still have a chance of survival. I can help you get out of the city."

Two voices spoke at the same time.

Li Yuanrou: “Okay!”

Xiao Luobai: "No!"

The two looked at each other.

Li Yuanrou spoke first: "You go first, and we'll talk after you leave. I won't be in danger here."

Xiao Luobai said decisively: "No, if you want to go, let's go together!"

Li Yuanrou's eyes were red, and she tried to persuade Xiao Luobai: "I don't have any martial arts skills, and Daya doesn't know martial arts either. We will only drag you down. You go out of the city to find Helianna, and I will persuade Yuan Qi. I will wait for you in Shanyang City."

Xiao Luobai turned around and looked at the people following him. Kunpeng was covered in wounds and had fainted. His life or death was unknown.

Except for Jing Lei, the rest of the people had wounds on their bodies, which means that except Jing Lei, they were all poisoned.

If he brought Li Yuanrou with him today, he might not even be able to leave the capital and be wiped out. If he didn't bring Li Yuanrou...

He didn't dare to think about it further.

Prince Yun said in a cold voice: "Make a decision quickly, my patience is limited."

Jing Lei suddenly asked a crucial question: "Why should we trust you?"

Prince Yun snorted coldly and didn't bother to reply to him.

Li Yuanrou was stunned. Yes, after talking for so long, she still didn’t doubt the truth of King Yun’s words.

Prince Yun’s men broke into the mansion and killed people, and now they say they’ll let Xiao Luobai go. They’ve been fighting and killing for so long...what are they doing for fun?

She looked at Prince Yun: "Uncle, swear that you won't lie to me. If you lie to me..."

She almost blurted out, "If you lie to me, I'll kill you."

She stopped talking in time, for she was afraid that King Yun would be so angry that he wouldn't care about Xiao Luobai's life or death.

She could do nothing at the moment and could only place her hopes on King Yun.

Ye Si, who was beside Prince Yun, finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "A bunch of ungrateful people. If our prince hadn't replaced the poison given by the emperor with ordinary chronic poison, do you think you could still be standing here alive to discuss whether to leave or not, and would you still have the chance to question our prince? Since entering your princess's mansion, our prince has been helping you at the risk of death..."

Ye Si's face was filled with resentment. He was the person who had followed Prince Yun the longest. When Li Yuanrou, Li Yuanqi and Li Yuming fell into the water in the palace, he was the one who followed Prince Yun. At that time, he was only nineteen years old and was just an ordinary guard beside the prince.

Now ten years have passed, and he has witnessed the transformation of Prince Yun from good to evil. Although their prince used to be serious, he was a warm-hearted person, not as cold as he is now.

No one knows better than Ye Si how the prince has transformed from a handsome young man into the cruel and murderous person in the eyes of everyone in the past ten years.

He thought about how he had been monitoring outside the Green Plum Garden for so many times and heard so many blushing and lewd sounds. When he compared this with the pain their prince had endured over the years because of her, Li Yuanrou, he immediately became furious.

Ye Si looked at Li Yuanrou with resentment on his face: "Some people are really heartless..."

Ye Si talked incessantly, but King Yun did not stop him. He had risked so much and of course hoped that Li Yuanrou would know about it. This way, Li Yuanrou would hate him less for the fact that he had led people to strangle Xiao Luobai today.

Li Yuanrou looked at Prince Yun in surprise, and asked in a slight voice full of doubt: "Uncle?"

There were no major national and family affairs on her mind, and she had never thought about those complicated things. Her mind was almost filled with Xiao Luobai, and Prince Yun only had a tiny place in her heart.

Apart from knowing that Prince Yun treated her well when she was young, she had never thought of anything else. Even though she recently noticed that Prince Yun was very indulgent towards her, she never included Prince Yun in her team. She always regarded Prince Yun as an enemy.

So what did Ye Si mean by those words? Did King Yun actually change his nature and help them?

Xiao Luobai never looked at King Yun from beginning to end, he was always looking at Li Yuanrou.

Prince Yun looked at Li Yuanrou and sighed softly. Human beings should not have emotions. Once they have emotions, they will have weaknesses. If someone takes advantage of their weaknesses, they will lose their lives.

He sighed inwardly, it doesn't matter, he doesn't seem to value his life so much now.

He looked at Xiao Luobai again: "Why don't you make a decision? If you don't leave now, I can't guarantee that you can get out of here safely today."

Several eyes behind him fell on Xiao Luobai. Xiao Luobai looked at Li Yuanrou with difficulty. He couldn't make a decision. It took him ten years to finally be by her side, and he couldn't leave her.

The sound of disorderly footsteps came from a distance, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound. It was someone from the palace.

A group of guards with swords surrounded them. The leading guards looked at each other in confusion. They thought they came to collect the bodies, but they didn't expect that none of these people were dead. They immediately drew their swords as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

One of them shouted at King Yun, "King Yun, how dare you disobey my order?"

Prince Yun cast a look at Ye Si, who understood and sighed as if he was disappointed with his friend. He shouted to his companions, "Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

The princess's mansion was in chaos, with constant sounds of swords and sabers.

King Yun shot a sharp look at Xiao Luobai and shouted in a deep voice: "Why don't you leave!"

Chongming and Bifang broke away from the fight and came over. Chongming shouted anxiously, "Master! Let's go!"

Li Yuanrou pushed him: "Go, go quickly, survive first."

Xiao Luobai called out in pain, "Rou'er..."

His face was full of sorrow, and his dark eyes were filled with powerlessness and helplessness. He seemed to become haggard all of a sudden, his eyes dimmed, and he was full of confusion and helplessness.

He frowned and looked at Li Yuanrou in confusion, his expression showing infinite sadness, and his heart felt as bitter as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.

He couldn't help but say to himself: "Why is it so difficult..."

His voice was too soft, and the whisper was drowned out by the noisy sounds around him.

Li Yuanrou looked at the people behind him and ordered, "Chongming Bifang, take him away."

Chongming Bifang stepped forward, looked at Xiao Luobai and advised: "Master, let's go. As long as there is green mountains, there will be no shortage of firewood."

The two men pushed Xiao Luobai two steps. Xiao Luobai stopped and looked back. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were obscure and forbearing, as if he was enduring great pain.

His eyes were red as he looked at Li Yuanrou again, his lips opened several times but he said nothing in the end.

Li Yuanrou shouted at him in an unquestionable voice: "Go!"

Xiao Luobai's face was pale, and he seemed to have lost all his life.

He turned around and walked towards the gate of the princess's mansion. The moment he turned his head, his eyes were suddenly filled with infinite resentment.

He had never wanted to be involved in power, but everyone forced him. He had no choice in his previous life as an emperor, and in this life he just wanted to be her bedside man and live an ordinary couple's life, but he still had no choice. Fate always pushed him against his own wishes.
