The Prince Consort's Beloved

Li Yuanrou was silent. Although she had already gotten over her shock, she still couldn't believe that such an incredible thing would happen.

Thinking of this, she asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

Xiao Luobai shook his head, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Master probably knows."

Li Yuanrou murmured, "Then I'll go ask him tomorrow."

Xiao Luobai tightened their clasped hands and said with a helpless smile: "He won't tell. I asked him, but he refused to tell me."

Li Yuanrou lowered her eyes and said nothing, and the two of them returned to their residence hand in hand.

Xiao Luobai's bed was not as big as the carved bed in Qingmei Garden. Li Yuanrou kept moving inward, muttering to herself, "Stay away. Your wound is too deep. I must not touch you after falling asleep at night. It will be troublesome if the wound splits again... I don't sleep well. If I touch you, just push me..."

Xiao Luobai listened to Li Yuanrou's endless instructions and laughed secretly. He slightly turned his body and put his arm around Li Yuanrou's waist, and ordered: "Don't be so fragile, go to sleep!"

Li Yuanrou suddenly sat up when she remembered something while she was drowsy.

Xiao Luobai looked over suspiciously, and saw Li Yuanrou quickly ask: "I remember that you said today that you would not return to Beiluo, but I remember that you have already made some arrangements in Beiluo. If you don't go back, what else will you deploy?"

Xiao Luobai laughed helplessly, hugged her back, and explained with his thin lips: "If I don't go back, Sister Hua will probably go back. I am doing some business arrangements, and I should be able to help her with money when the time comes."

He patted the person next to him gently: "Go to sleep quickly, don't think too much, I said I won't leave, I will never lie to you in my life."

Xiao Luobai closed his eyes again.

After a long while, a warm breath sprayed on the back of Li Yuanrou's neck, and the voice was very light, but full of infinite tenderness: "Missing you is too bitter, I can't bear to leave you."

Li Yuanrou uttered an ambiguous "hmm" and stammered, "Me too."

Li Yuanrou fell asleep peacefully, but Daya was not so happy.

………………

It turned out that day, Daya was driving her carriage past the land temple at full speed, and an arrow was shot from somewhere and went straight to Daya's face.

Qingfeng pulled Daya into the carriage and held her in his arms, barely dodging the cold arrow, but a bloody scratch was left on his arm.

The horse got frightened and threw the two men out. Qingfeng, who was holding Daya in his arms, fell heavily and vomited blood immediately.

Daya was so frightened that she wiped the blood from Qingfeng's lips with a handkerchief with trembling hands.

Qingfeng held her hand and asked weakly, "Daya, you are not hurt, are you?"

After Qingfeng finished speaking, he spat out another mouthful of blood. Daya was so scared that she couldn't help but shed tears. She felt that Qingfeng was going to die here.

Fortunately, the horse stopped running away, so the two of them got back on the carriage and galloped all the way to the foot of the mountain.

Daya dragged Qingfeng out of the carriage. Qingfeng was already struggling on the verge of death. Daya did not dare to delay and used all her strength to support Qingfeng and climb up the mountain.

After walking a few steps, he happened to meet some brothers from the mountain village who were coming down the mountain. Several of them recognized Qingfeng at a glance and hurried forward to ask what was going on.

An sharp-eyed elder brother noticed that Daya and Qingfeng had an unusual relationship, so he asked Qingfeng who this woman was. Qingfeng replied weakly, "My wife," and then passed out.

Several people looked at Daya with strange eyes. Daya was in a hurry to go back to Li Yuanrou and was about to leave, but was stopped by those people.

How could Qingfeng, a man who is so dull and tongue-tied, let go of a wife after all the hard work? What if this girl doesn't come back? Wouldn't Qingfeng be single forever?

Daya insisted on leaving, and several people refused to let her go, so a conflict broke out immediately. They were all a group of rough men, and they were bandits. Although Xiao Luobai did not allow people in the village to rob houses anymore, these people still made small moves behind her back, and they did things without any respect at all. They knocked Daya unconscious with just one strike of their hand.

A few people very unceremoniously placed Daya and Qingfeng on the same bed and locked the door to prevent Daya from escaping.

When Zhuge Hongzhan heard that Qingfeng was poisoned, he came over with shining eyes. He was surrounded by herbs every day, and there was nothing much to do in the village on weekdays. He hadn't treated anyone for a long time.

When he was checking Qingfeng's pulse, he praised him repeatedly: "Good poison, good poison!"

After determining what the poison was, Zhuge Hongzhan went to prepare the antidote. However, Daya woke up in the middle of the night and found that she and Qingfeng were locked up together and could not get out at all. She was worried about her master and was extremely anxious.

Finally, when it was almost dawn, someone got up and successfully heard her cry. After opening the door and talking to her, people in the village knew that Xiao Luobai and Li Yuanrou had also come.

The four of them were attacked on the way, and now a night has passed and Bai Rou and the other two have not arrived at the mountain stronghold. Fearing that something went wrong on the way, the mountain stronghold immediately sent people down the mountain to look for her. Daya shouted that she wanted to go too, but those rough men were afraid that she would run away and refused to let her go. After all, Qingfeng hadn't woken up yet, and they couldn't just let her get away.

The fierce Daya started to put her hands on her hips and yelled in disgrace. After a crazy outburst, the gatekeeper finally couldn't stand it anymore and Daya was successfully knocked out again.

In fact, Li Yuanrou had just been tied up on the mountain when Xiao Luobai was successfully rescued. The two entered the mountain village at the same time, but their treatments were completely different.

Qingfeng's medicine had not been prepared yet, and Zhuge Hongzhan came hurriedly to treat Xiao Luobai. Yao Jinhua followed him, and when she saw that Xiao Luobai was so badly injured, she felt heartbroken.

After Zhuge Hongzhan finished treating Xiao Luobai, he told his disciple Xiaotian to watch over Xiao Luobai and inform him if he woke up. After giving the instructions, he went back to prepare the antidote for Qingfeng and was very busy.

No one else in the village knew what Li Yuanrou looked like, and they searched blindly at the foot of the mountain. Poor Li Yuanrou was locked up in the woodshed by Xiaotian and no one cared about her.

Xiaotian was busy helping to boil medicine, keeping an eye on Li Yuanrou, and taking care of Xiao Luobai's injuries. He had no time to chat with others, so he didn't know that his brother brought Li Yuanrou here, and naturally he didn't know that Li Yuanrou was Princess Shanyang.

Zhuge Hongzhan prepared the antidote for Qingfeng before going to see Xiao Luobai with Yao Jinhua. When they arrived, they happened to run into Li Yuanrou who was also there, and that led to what happened next.
