The Prince Consort's Beloved

Li Yuanrou watched the two people bickering from the side, feeling awkward and mischievous, unable to get a word in.

She hadn't expected that these two usually got along like this, it was totally different from what she had imagined before she came.

Yao Jinhua originally wanted to come and see how badly Xiao Luobai was injured, but these few words made her so angry that her face became increasingly gloomy. She gritted her teeth and blurted out word by word: "He! Lian! Luo! Bai!"

Xiao Luobai frowned immediately and subconsciously turned his head to glance at the person next to him.

Li Yuanrou also frowned and turned to look at him, her lips slightly open in surprise.

Although she was lazy and ate all day long and didn't care about what was happening outside, she knew the surname Helian. She remembered it clearly because it was rare. It was a surname unique to the Beiluo royal family.

Seeing the two's unusual expressions, Yao Jinhua was no longer angry. She immediately put on a smile like a bystander watching a good show and said to Xiao Luobai, "You've been married for so long, and you haven't told her yet?"

Yao Jinhua folded her arms, with a smile on her lips and a cunning look in her eyes.

She said calmly: "Yes, if she knew, would she still be with you?"

She raised her eyebrows proudly at Xiao Luobai again: "The prince of the enemy country, the crown prince of Beiluo..."

Yao Jinhua, with an attitude of enjoying the fun, deliberately raised the dragon-shaped jade pendant in her hand and turned it twice in front of the two people opposite.

Xiao Luobai's eyes gradually became cold and sharp, and seeing this, Yao Jinhua's eyes also became sharp, and it seemed that the two were about to fight each other.

Zhuge Hongzhan was overwhelmed when he saw the two of them acting like this. This was how they had been dealing with each other for so many years, and he had suffered a lot being caught in the middle...

Zhuge Hongzhan quickly grabbed Yao Jinhua and said hastily: "Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue, don't be impulsive. Luo Bai is still injured. We can't do anything. Let's go back first and let the couple be alone for a while."

As Zhuge Hongzhan spoke, he quickly took the jade pendant from Yao Jinhua and placed it on the table, then said to Xiao Luobai, "Put it away quickly."

He quickly pulled Yao Jinhua out of the door, and as he walked away he said with a headache, "Didn't you come to see him? When you came here yesterday and he was unconscious you were so distressed that you cried. Why are you angry with him again now that he's awake? You two are really enemies, and you quarrel every time you meet."

Yao Jinhua was so angry that her face turned blue. Xiao Luobai had never treated her well since he was a child. He always opposed her no matter what she did, just like a rebellious child. She said angrily, "The older he gets, the more he goes against me. He always says unpleasant things. It's better for him not to wake up."

Zhuge Hongzhan continued to comfort her: "Don't be angry, I will help you teach him a lesson tomorrow. Last time I went to the princess's mansion, didn't you ask me to help you discipline him? I slapped him twice, and he didn't say a word or hide. I felt relieved. Otherwise, tomorrow when that little sheep is not around, I will slap him again to vent your anger..."

Yao Jinhua stopped walking immediately after hearing this and raised her voice: "You hit him? Who told you to hit him? Why did you hit him? I asked you to discipline him, why didn't you just scold him?"

Zhuge Hongzhan choked...

I am speechless...

Yao Jinhua continued to question in a harsh voice: "Why did you hit him? He was in so much pain that time, and you actually hit him. Is there a master like you..."

Zhuge Hongzhan tried to defend himself. He said without any confidence: "Didn't you beat him too? You guys always beat each other when you meet..."

Yao Jinhua raised her voice again, and angrily retorted: "Ours was a duel between strong men, and we were comparing real kung fu. When have you ever seen me bully him as an elder? When have you ever seen me slap him indiscriminately? Have you ever seen me do that?"

Zhuge Hongzhan was speechless.

………………

This is Li Yuanrou.

The people left and there were only two people left in the room.

Li Yuanrou walked to the table, picked up the jade pendant and examined it carefully. Her voice was flat and emotionless: "I asked you last time, but you didn't tell me. How many secrets are you hiding from me?"

She finished speaking and chuckled at herself: "Helian Luobai?"

Xiao Luobai lowered his eyes and pursed his lips. He felt guilty and ashamed. He was really afraid that Li Yuanrou would be angry and ignore him.

He raised his dark eyes and caught a glimpse of blood on Li Yuanrou's palm. This was the blood from his wound that she accidentally touched when he hugged her just now.

Xiao Luobai raised his eyebrows, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. He hurried over and took Li Yuanrou's hand, hugged her in his arms, and deliberately placed her hand not far from the wound on his waist, and gently called out: "Rou'er..."

He said aggrievedly: "Rou'er, my legs hurt..."

Li Yuanrou felt a shudder in her heart when she saw him coming straight towards her. His leg was still injured, yet he just walked towards her like that...

She was still angry and worried, but her expression remained calm, hiding her complicated emotions.

Li Yuanrou still held the jade pendant in her other hand. She struggled slightly but failed to get it free, and she was afraid that too much movement would hurt his wound.

She gave up resisting and let him hold her.

Xiao Luobai pursed his lips, not knowing where to start. He pretended to be pitiful and explained, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was just afraid that you would think too much after you knew it. I have never thought about returning to Beiluo, never thought about being Helian Luobai, and never thought about opposing Li Yuanqi. I am just Xiao Luobai, and I only want to be an ordinary couple with you for the rest of my life..."

He paused, his expression suddenly became serious, he sighed, and said softly: "All I want in this life is you..."

Li Yuanrou was moved by his straightforward statement and was no longer angry that he had concealed the truth from her.

She felt a little melancholy. She should be angry, but her anger came and went too quickly. Was it too easy for him to forgive him like this?

Li Yuanrou was secretly annoyed at herself for being too soft-hearted. Xiao Luobai made her calm down with just a few words. What a loser, a love-brained person!

However, the pitiful way Xiao Luobai explained to her just now was very rare. It seemed that she had never seen him like this before. How could it be a little cute...

Seeing that she was silent, Xiao Luobai loosened her grip slightly and held Li Yuanrou's arms with both hands. He looked at her clearly and asked cautiously, "Rou'er, do you believe me..."

Li Yuanrou did not dare to look him in the eye. Finally, she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I believe..."

She believed it, of course she believed it. He painted those paintings for her, wrote those poems for her, helped her pass the imperial examinations to earn money, and found ways for her to marry into the princess's mansion. He protected her with his life, doted on her, loved her, and pitied her. He regarded her as a fairy in the clouds. He collapsed several times when she was in a coma...

He loved deeply, and she knew it better than anyone else.

He loves her, maybe even more than I love him...

As Li Yuanrou thought about this, her eyes suddenly felt sore again.

She has been too sensitive these past two days and always wants to cry, and every time she wants to cry it is because of Xiao Luobai.

She had become dependent on him without realizing it.

One day without seeing you feels like three months...

This feeling of missing you is so bitter...

She lowered her head and moved forward, burying her face in his arms again. She carefully passed her hands across his waist and stroked his broad back. Her voice was a little muffled: "I believe it. Even if you don't explain, I still believe it. I don't mind your identity. I just don't want to be like a fool, knowing nothing. I can't even think of who is going to assassinate you on the road..."

She doesn't care about the mess of the court and the regime. She just wants to live her own life and love whoever she wants to love. Life is short, why bother with so many things? Just be in love. She just wants love, a lot of love. It's a good fortune to find someone who loves her in this vast sea of people. Xiao Luobai is willing to give her the love she wants, and only a fool would refuse.

The more she thought about it, the more moved she became. She choked up and said, "Xiao Luobai, I miss you."

Xiao Luobai's frown gradually relaxed. He took a deep breath, his eyes slightly moistened, and he only called out softly with his thin lips slightly opened: "Rou'er..."

He stroked the back of Li Yuanrou's head with his big hand and said slowly: "Don't be angry with me, I'll tell you everything..."

Li Yuanrou nodded gently in his arms, then suddenly raised her head from his arms and said anxiously: "Hurry up and sit down, your legs..."

Li Yuanrou helped him sit down, then squatted down to look at Xiao Luobai's legs again. Xiao Luobai reached out and pulled her up: "Xiaotian will come over to re-bandage it in a while."

Li Yuanrou put the jade pendant in her hand back on the table, took another look at it, and waited for Xiao Luobai to explain.
