The Prince Consort's Beloved

Li Yuanrou did not go to Prince Yun's Mansion to deliver the health talisman. She cried too much in those two days and her eyes hurt badly, so she started to apply medicine and rest again.

Night fell and it was so dark that no light could be seen.

Daya came in again to add more charcoal to Li Yuanrou's fire. Seeing that Li Yuanrou had her eyes open, she said worriedly, "Princess, why aren't you asleep yet? Go to bed early. You'll be fine once you wake up."

Li Yuanrou shook her head and murmured to herself: "A butterfly broke into my dream, and I was in that butterfly dream. What difference does it make whether I am dreaming or awake..."

After she finished speaking, she chuckled and felt like singing.

In a faint voice, she recounted what she saw in her dream to Daya: "He took me across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and I saw the clouds in the vast sea, the rain in Wu Gorge, witnessed the rising sun, and also enjoyed every gentle sunset. Wherever we went, there was romance."

With a faint smile on her lips, she thought about the road she had walked side by side with him. The mist turned into cool dew, lingering in the morning light of the gurgling river. The afterglow spread all over the sky, lingering with the alluring autumn colors, and fell on his cold face, bringing out a touch of intoxicating beauty.

"Uselessness is the deepest love, disdain is the deepest love. He doesn't cherish me, so I will use separation to teach him to remember."

"Later, he traveled all over the world alone, looking for my shadow in the vast sea of people... Daya, he searched for me for a thousand years, and I hated him for a thousand years..."

The smile on her lips fell, and a trace of sadness arose in her heart.

"I'm stupid, and he's stupid too..."

"But how can there be hate without love... I don't hate him at all. This life is different. He really loves me, and I really love him..."

"Love is unforgettable, thoughts... longing for him is deep... I really miss him..."

"He has his heart set on me and only wants to be with me, and I follow his lead in everything... We clearly don't want to fight for power anymore, we just want to live our own lives, so why can't it work? We still have to separate..."

Li Yuanrou kept talking about this and that, but Daya said nothing.

She called out, "Daya?"

Daya choked up and replied, "Yes, I am listening."

Li Yuanrou felt her head was heavy from all the tears.

She took a moment to calm down before speaking: "Daya, go back to sleep, I'm fine here."

Daya lowered her head and walked to the bed: "I am not sleepy, Princess, you sleep, I will watch over you."

Daya wanted to ask the princess to think less and desire less, but she couldn't say it at all. She herself couldn't do that, let alone the princess.

Li Yuanrou half-leaned on the bed and looked down at her. Daya kept her head down, and drops of water slowly appeared on the dry ground.

Daya felt bitter in her heart, and felt that it was just as the princess said, it was difficult.

No matter how upset she was, she could not show it, for fear that the princess would feel even worse. She did not dare to cry too much when she was hiding in her room, for fear of being heard and that the redness and swelling of her eyes would not go away the next day.

She is the princess's most capable maid. She cannot be so fragile. She has to endure and be strong.

Li Yuanrou stared at the water drops falling from Daya's face, and her eyes turned red: "Daya, are you missing Qingfeng?"

Speaking of Qingfeng, Daya thought of the messy drawings on the letter Qingfeng wrote to her. She wondered if he had written something difficult to say and crossed it out out of shame. When she thought of the words "I wish I could turn into a wisp of green wind", her mind involuntarily emerged with the silly look on Qingfeng's face when he wrote this sentence, making her cry and laugh at the same time.

She raised her head, revealing a face with a smile and tears. Li Yuanrou looked at her and couldn't help but feel even more sad. The urge to cry was almost uncontrollable.

She tried to force a smile: "Daya, you don't look good at all like this. If you want to cry, just cry. It will be better once you cry."

Daya couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears at the head of the bed. Li Yuanrou patted Daya's head, and thinking of the same action that Prince Yun made when comforting her, her tears began to fall non-stop. She wanted to go to Prince Yun's mansion.

…………

The next day, when Li Yuanrou went to Prince Yun's mansion, Prince Yun happened to be invited into the palace.

In the Hall of Eternal Life, the two people were on the verge of a fight again.

Li Yuanqi's face was stern: "It is also your duty to protect our country. You don't agree to go to war. Are you afraid of death?"

Prince Yun also had a cold and serious expression: "The treasury is empty, the people are living in poverty, it is not appropriate to fight again, and peace talks are the best policy."

Li Yuanqi's voice was cold and angry: "I will never use my sister as a bargaining chip to negotiate peace with Bei Luo!"

Prince Yun frowned slightly and asked, "If the other party was not Xiao Luobai, would you still think so?"

Li Yuanqi didn't say anything, but snorted coldly, as if he was disdainful of answering.

Prince Yun put his hands behind his back, his whole body emitting a chill: "To let the people suffer in order to avoid marriage, such behavior is not what a wise ruler would do."

Li Yuanqi's face suddenly darkened: "Beiluo and Dayue are thousands of miles apart. Have you ever thought about what would happen if my sister went to Beiluo and didn't live well? Xiao Luobai has taken in so many concubines now. Can you guarantee that he can still be devoted to my sister now?"

Prince Yun's face became solemn. He saw that Li Yuanrou was suffering because of missing Xiao Luobai, so he only cared about her and wanted to help her, but he did not think deeply about whether Xiao Luobai could still stick to his original intention. If, as Li Yuanqi said, Li Yuanrou went to Beiluo and suffered injustice, then she would be thousands of miles away from home, and there would be no relatives around to support her...

Fu Lai walked up to Li Yuanqi and whispered something in his ear. Prince Yun's ears twitched, and he turned around to look outside the palace. Ye Jiu, who was still catching his breath, hurriedly gestured to him to go back home.

Prince Yun's Palace.

Ye Si and Butler Zhao greeted Li Yuanrou at the main gate.

Because Ye San and Ye Liu had left, Qingzhou's opponent had changed and he was forced to start climbing walls and climbing climbs as soon as he entered the gate. Unless Prince Yun gave an order, the Night Shadow Guards of Prince Yun's Mansion would never let the people from the Princess' Mansion enter their gate so openly.

In fact, Qingzhou is now following Li Yuanrou, so he is half Li Yuanrou's person. But Prince Yun is not in the mansion at the moment, so the Night Shadow Guards naturally want to fight him.

Since Ye San was not there, Qingluan did not draw her sword again. She quietly followed Li Yuanrou into the mansion.

Ye Si looked unhappy. The Prince Yun's Mansion was only one street away from Princess Li Yuanrou's Mansion, and it had been many days since he came to deliver wine to her.

He snorted at Li Yuanrou in annoyance: "You still remember to come?"

Li Yuanrou did not argue with Ye Si as usual, she looked listless.

Butler Zhao glared at Ye Si and scolded, "What do you know? The princess is heavy, how can she move around freely?"

After he finished speaking, he gave Ye Si a look, and Ye Si left angrily.

This was what they had agreed upon. When the princess came again, they would definitely take her to visit Chenghuan Garden.

Butler Zhao lowered his eyebrows and smiled pleasantly, "The prince will be back soon, Princess, please go and rest for a while."

Li Yuanrou hummed. Her stomach felt much heavier than she expected, and she felt tired after walking a few steps.
