The Prince Consort's Beloved

Li Yuanrou's eyelids moved slightly.

The memory in her dream stopped at the moment when she fainted. She felt someone snatched him away from someone's arms, and then she smelled the familiar fragrance again.

She was surrounded by this cool fragrance every day, and she was very familiar with this scent.

She also heard an extremely familiar voice, calling her weakly and urgently: "Rou'er, Rou'er..."

The familiar voice was suddenly interrupted, and she heard the sound of vomiting blood, and then something heavy fell on her.

It’s Xiao Luobai.

"Xiao Luobai!"

Li Yuanrou suddenly opened his eyes and shouted.

She sat up and looked around. It was already dawn. She had been in a coma all night.

She was lying on a 2.8-meter-tall carved bed in the Green Plum Garden, and Xiao Luobai was not beside her.

She put on her shoes, put on a thin coat and ran out quickly, bumping into Daya who was about to come in, knocking over the bowl of porridge in Daya's hand.

Neither of them had time to care about the soup and porridge spilled on the ground, and they both spoke at the same time.

"Princess, you're awake!"

"Where is the Prince Consort?"

Li Yuanrou grabbed Daya's shoulders fiercely, stared at her with burning eyes and asked again: "Where is the prince consort?"

Daya's eyes were red and swollen. She pointed in the direction of the main gate of Princess Shanyang's residence outside and said, "In Qingzhu Garden."

Li Yuanrou let go of Daya and hurriedly ran out. Daya's anxious voice came from behind her: "Princess, please wait for me. I will go too."

Li Yuanrou did not slow down. She rushed into Qingzhu Garden without stopping and pushed open the door of the master bedroom.

In an instant, the people in the room stopped arguing and looked at her.

Li Yuanrou walked to the bed and stared at the person with closed eyes on the bed. Her pupils suddenly shrank, she gasped, and almost fell down.

Xiao Luobai was lying on the bed, his naked back covered with wounds. Although it had been treated, it was still shocking, as if it had been torn by a wild beast, with blood and flesh mixed together. A conspicuous sword wound was particularly eye-catching, and the wound had a corner split open like a deep ravine.

The strong visual impact made Li Yuanrou's eyes go dark. She swayed and turned to look at Xiaotian next to her: "Why don't you apply medicine to him?"

Xiaotian shook off Chongming's hand that was holding his arm and said anxiously, "They won't let us!"

Chongming said, "The medicine's origin is unknown, how can I give it to my master?"

Xiaotian angrily retorted: "Don't worry about where it comes from. Anyway, this is the best medicine for injuries. I am a doctor."

He pointed at Xiao Luobai on the bed and said, "That's my brother. He's closer than my own brother. Would I harm my brother?"

Chongming insisted: "Anyway, it can't be used by my master."

Li Yuanrou asked in confusion: "What's going on? What happened to the medicine?"

The few of them were silent. The little girl who stood far away and had no sense of existence whispered, "Princess, the medicine was sent by the people of Yunwang Mansion after you were in danger and whipped when you went to Dabei Zen Temple for the first time."

Li Yuanrou was suspicious and asked, "King Yun? How come I don't know?"

The little girl muttered quietly, "The Prince Consort didn't allow me to tell you, and he threw the medicine into the warehouse and it was covered with dust. Later, Xiaotian came and found it from a corner, saying it was a good medicine."

Li Yuanrou took a deep breath and said to Xiaotian: "Give it to him, quickly!"

Xiaotian started to act as soon as he received the order, and Xiaoya also came forward to help.

Chongming Jinghong and the others hurriedly tried to stop him: "Princess, you can't do that!"

Li Yuanrou raised her arm to stop him: "It'll be fine, trust me."

Several people frowned and looked at her. Xiaotian took the medicine and said, "Stop arguing. My brother will really die soon."

He sprinkled the medicine carefully and muttered to himself, "Who the hell did this? It's so cruel. He beat me to death. My brother actually had such a miserable time..."

Li Yuanrou frowned as she watched Xiaotian apply medicine. She bit her lips tightly and felt palpitations coming again.

Xiaotian glanced back at her and said soothingly, "It's okay, don't worry, he won't die. How can my brother die so easily? He is my brother..."

Daya came in panting, and before she could catch her breath she spoke quickly: "Princess, go check on Kunpeng, Qingfeng can't stop him."

Li Yuanrou was about to ask a question when Xiaotian spoke again: "Go over and hold him down first. Wait until I apply medicine to my brother before you go over. Kunpeng's wound has split twice and he's still able to toss..."

Upon hearing this, Bifang and Chongming looked at each other and hurried out, leaving Jinghong and Jinglei looking at Xiao Luobai on the bed.

Li Yuanrou finally had the chance to ask, "What happened to Kunpeng?"

Daya held Li Yuanrou and walked out, explaining as she walked, "Kunpeng failed in his assassination attempt at Prince Yun's mansion last night and was severely injured. He was rescued by Chongming and Bifang."

Li Yuanrou was shocked and said with emotion: "Kunpeng is really loyal. He went to avenge Xiao Luobai last night."

Daya explained hastily: "No, it was Qingluan. Qingluan was captured by the people from Prince Yun's Mansion!"

Li Yuanrou's eyes widened in panic, "What? Qingluan was captured!"

She was so focused on Xiao Luobai that she forgot about Qingluan. Qingluan was the one who protected her closely, but she didn't even notice that Qingluan was not there today.

Daya continued, "After Kunpeng came back, he wanted to go to Prince Yun's Mansion again, but was held down by Chongming and the others. Kunpeng had fought with those two twice despite his injuries. Our Princess Mansion is really a mess now..."

The two of them quickly came to Kunpeng's residence, and before they stepped over the threshold, they heard an argument coming from inside the house.

"Let me go. Are you still my brothers? Not only did you not help me, but you also tied me up!"

"We let you go and let you die? There are so many experts in Prince Yun's Mansion. We can't save anyone with just a few people. Besides, we can't leave no one here!"

"Let me go, I'll go by myself, I want to save Qingluan."

"Why are you going? You came back yesterday covered in wounds. If you hadn't insisted on going to Prince Yun's Mansion at night, you wouldn't have..."

As soon as Li Yuanrou stepped over the threshold, the quarreling in the room stopped immediately, and the four people in the room looked at Li Yuanrou together.

Kunpeng was tied up with ropes and thrown on the bed. When he saw Li Yuanrou, he spoke anxiously: "Princess, Qingluan was captured by the people in Prince Yun's Mansion."

Li Yuanrou calmed down and said calmly, "I already know about this."

She lowered her eyes and whispered thoughtfully: "Let me think about it, let me think about it..."

Kunpeng's eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted anxiously: "Don't think about it, Princess! The man who kidnapped Qingluan yesterday was Ye San, who was beside King Yun. This man was very lewd and loved to play with women. After a night, Qingluan might have been humiliated..."

Li Yuanrou raised her head suddenly, her eyes filled with shock: "What!!"

Kunpeng's eyes were moist, and he looked at Li Yuanrou with burning eyes, and said seriously: "Princess, I want to save Qingluan!"

Li Yuanrou pursed her lips and said nothing. Kunpeng's voice became more urgent, as if mixed with a faint cry. He shouted again: "Princess!! Don't hesitate, let them let me go!"

Li Yuanrou clenched her fists and said, "You take good care of your injuries. Leave the matter of saving Qingluan to me. I will find a way."

She walked out without looking back and said, "Keep an eye on Kunpeng."

Li Yuanrou walked quickly towards the Green Plum Garden. She had already made up her mind. Since it was not Prince Yun who ordered Qingluan to be captured, then if she went to ask Prince Yun for a person, Prince Yun would not refuse to give it to her...

Daya was trotting after Li Yuanrou, while Erya was panting and shouting, "Princess, Princess, something happened."

Li Yuanrou and Daya stopped and turned to look. Erya caught up with them, panting heavily. She swallowed hard and said, "Princess, the man chosen by His Majesty has arrived at the door of our mansion. What should we do?"
