The Prince Consort's Beloved

Yao Jinhua angrily rebuked: "How can that be? His previous life is a thing of the past. In this life, he is Helian Luobai, so he should bear the responsibilities he should bear. Look at how he was just now. He just threw the jade pendant to me... He is too selfish, and only has love in his heart... It's in vain that my brother has gone through so much trouble to clear the obstacles for him, and it's in vain that I have been away from home for many years to make plans for him, and the emperor's sister-in-law has died in vain..."

Zhuge Hongzhan spoke slowly: "Luo Bai...he is not wrong, he is just different...don't force him, the time is not right..."

Yao Jinhua sighed: "You paid such a high price to fulfill his lifelong wish, but in the end he only cared about his love affair and had no ambition."

Zhuge Hongzhan said calmly: "I owed him in my previous life, so I'll just pay him back."

Yao Jinhua's voice became softer: "But you don't owe me anything. Back then... everyone thought you were an old man with white hair, but in fact you are only in your forties. You have done so much for us, aunt and nephew, we can't afford to repay you..."

Zhuge Hongzhan: "You owe me this life, you should pay me back in the next life... If I had met you earlier than Sui Cheng..."

Yao Jinhua interrupted him with a rebuke: "Don't mention this name again. He was one of the culprits who persecuted my sister-in-law. When I return to my homeland this time, I will kill him with my own hands!"

Li Yuanrou was standing right in the doorway, eavesdropping openly. Her red lips slightly parted in surprise, and gossip kept pouring into her mind.

She felt that it was very immoral for her to always eavesdrop on other people. She wanted to leave, but her legs and feet would not obey her.

A fierce palm wind blew the door open. Li Yuanrou looked up at the two people in the room in surprise. Yao Jinhua's heroic brows were frowned, while Zhuge Hongzhan looked calm as if nothing had happened.

Yao Jinhua spoke up: "Xiao Rou, what are you doing standing outside the door?"

Li Yuanrou said awkwardly: "I'm listening to gossip..."

After she realized what was happening, she quickly changed her words: "Ah, no, I meant that I came here to find Master. I had the same dream as Luo Bai, and I wanted to ask Master why..."

Zhuge Hongzhan's expression changed slightly, and after hearing the whole story he rejected her outright.

Li Yuanrou walked away with heavy steps, feeling doubtful. Then she suddenly had an idea and thought of the fortune interpreter. The fortune interpreter and her master were from the same school, so perhaps he could know the answer. She then hurried to find him.

Mr. Interpreter was lying in the room with a gloomy look on his face. When he knew the purpose of Li Yuanrou's visit, his expression of despair instantly disappeared: "Go and steal my senior brother's plate. I also want to see what's going on with me recently!"

Li Yuanrou asked him curiously: "Can you still look at yourself?"

Mr. Interpreter immediately smiled with great enthusiasm: "Others can't, but I can!"

Li Yuanrou was worried: "But I don't know where Master's magic weapon is, how can I steal it?"

The fortune teller gave her some advice with great enthusiasm: "Go find Xiaotian and ask him for help. He knows where it is."

Li Yuanrou went to find Xiaotian again. Xiaotian was still feeling guilty about kidnapping her. When he heard her intention, he jumped three feet high and refused outright: "No! You want to kill me!"

Li Yuanrou couldn't think of any reason to persuade him to do this bad thing. Xiaotian hesitated for a moment and spoke up: "It's not impossible. When you go back to the capital, take me with you and I will help you steal."

Li Yuanrou lowered her eyes in thought, her eyes wandering: "I can't make the decision on this, I have to ask your brother first."

Xiaotian's voice was urgent: "It's no use asking him. Last time I left, I wanted to follow him, but he wouldn't let me. I can see that between you two, my brother appears to be very strong on the surface, but in fact he listens to you. If you insist on taking me with you, he won't object."

Li Yuanrou looked at Xiaotian's expectant eyes. She thought about it carefully and it seemed to be the case. At worst, she could just act coquettishly and flatter him and try to conquer him. So she gritted her teeth and agreed.

Zhuge Hongzhan and Yao Jinhua were still discussing the evacuation in Zhongyi Hall. The two of them sneaked into Zhuge Hongzhan's room. Li Yuanrou kept watch while Xiaotian stole. After they succeeded, the two of them ran quickly to the fortune teller's room with sly eyes.

Mr. Fortune Teller got what he wanted and sat up in shock from his dying illness. His eyes lit up and he started to work quickly. Li Yuanrou and Xiaotian stared at him intently.

The fortune teller said that he should first consider why his luck was so bad. He looked solemn and soon showed a look of horror.

He glanced at Li Yuanrou and started to operate again. Suddenly, the fortune teller's expression changed suddenly. He looked at Li Yuanrou in horror and took a step back. He pointed at her with a trembling index finger and muttered to himself with a trembling voice: "You...you...impossible! Impossible! How is it possible! One soul with two bodies, separated for three lifetimes, love cannot be obtained, separated for three lifetimes..."

As he said this, he dropped the plate in his hand, held his head in pain and ran out.

Because it rained last night, the ground was a little slippery. He fell down as soon as he walked out the door, and his nose bleeds immediately. Li Yuanrou and Xiaotian chased him out worriedly. Mr. Interpreter pinched his nose, got up again, and ran madly into the distance...

It was raining heavily outside again, with rumbling thunder and lightning...

Xiaotian was in a hurry to return the stolen goods, so he and Li Yuanrou sneaked to Zhuge Hongzhan's bedroom to implement their plan of returning the stolen goods intact.

Afterwards, Li Yuanrou went to find Xiao Luobai, and confusedly relayed the fortune teller's words to Xiao Luobai, asking him if he knew what it meant.

Xiao Luobai frowned, thinking for a long time, and shook his head. He advised: "Don't think about those things. Past lives and present lives are all nonsense. The present is the most important thing."

Li Yuanrou nodded doubtfully, and then asked, "Are Master and Aunt going to Beiluo Kingdom?"

Xiao Luobai nodded solemnly: "Guanyun Village is no longer safe, and everything is ready in Beiluo Country. It's time to go back..."

Li Yuanrou lowered her head and left. She didn't ask any more questions because she was afraid that Xiao Luobai would see the darkness and vagueness in her eyes.

After coming out of Xiao Luobai's house, Li Yuanrou went to look for Daya again. She spent an afternoon with Daya and found that Daya was fine. She went to Qingluan's house to rest.

The next day, Li Yuanrou wanted to ask the fortune teller what he meant by yesterday's words, but when she got there, she found that the fortune teller had already left.

He returned to Dabei Zen Temple.

It turned out that he was unfortunately struck by lightning after running out yesterday, and his hair was burnt, but the miraculous thing was that he was not hurt at all.

After he came back, he asked Zhuge Hongzhan to help him shave his burnt hair and decided to return to Dabei Temple to become a monk. When he was in Dabei Temple, the old abbot said that he should be a monk and not a Taoist priest. He originally rejected the old abbot's words, but for some reason he suddenly wanted to go back.

Li Yuanrou asked Zhuge Hongzhan why the fortune teller was struck by lightning. Zhuge Hongzhan said that he probably leaked the secret.

Li Yuanrou also learned from Zhuge Hongzhan that Mr. Interpreter of the Divination was once a handsome and romantic man. He was cynical and rebellious and had secretly learned many secret skills. Later, he fell in love with a prostitute and redeemed her. He almost gave up everything for her and even betrayed his master in order to integrate into this flashy and intoxicating world. He and the woman indeed lived a beautiful and loving happy life for several months. However, the good times did not last long. The woman became fickle and vain and slept with a powerful nobleman. Mr. Interpreter of the Divination killed the nobleman in a rage and fled to Dayue with hatred for the woman to find his former senior brother Zhuge Hongzhan.

He was disheartened and no longer believed in human love, and even despised it. However, he was shocked after seeing Li Yuanrou's fate in her past and present lives...

The fortune teller passed away. No one knew whether he passed away because he saw his fate of becoming a monk or because his cognition was overturned by the love and hatred between Li Yuanrou and Xiao Luobai. Or maybe it was both...

Li Yuanrou was unable to ask what she wanted to ask in the end. Zhuge Hongzhan advised her not to dwell on those things, and that the most important thing was to live a good life with Xiao Luobai and give birth to a baby as soon as possible to inherit his legacy.
