The Prince Consort's Beloved

Qingfeng was stunned and speechless. He suddenly felt that what Xiaotian said seemed to make sense.

Qingfeng subconsciously glanced at Xiao Luobai. Xiao Luobai narrowed his eyes and sneered at him.

Qingfeng's body trembled, and he immediately withdrew his prying eyes, standing straight and motionless.

Xiaotian said lightly: "Didn't you say that my sister-in-law wouldn't be in danger? What's wrong with telling my brother?"

Xiao Luobai looked at them with a cold expression.

Several of them looked guilty, and then told the truth.

Xiao Luobai looked at Qingfeng and ordered, "Qingfeng, take Daya with you to the Yun Palace to bring the princess back."

He paused and said, "Enter through the main gate and tell them that the princess is still ill and that they want her to return home to take medicine. The people in Prince Yun's Mansion will not stop you."

Others may not know what kind of feelings Prince Yun has for Li Yuanrou, but he knows it. He has already investigated everything about Li Yuanrou clearly.

A paranoid person like Prince Yun may seem ruthless, but once he treats someone differently from others, he will show all his kindness to them, at least that was the case with young Li Yuanrou.

Thinking back to the time when Prince Yun searched all over the world for famous doctors and sorcerers for Li Yuanrou, even though the two later became enemies, how could the father-daughter love they had experienced not leave a mark in their hearts.

Xiao Luobai frowned at the stunned Qingfeng and scolded, "Why don't you leave?"

Qingfeng's heart trembled, and he went out angrily to look for Daya in Qingyun Garden, their new courtyard after their marriage.

Daya was sitting in the room feeling depressed and worried about the safety of her princess. After hearing Qingfeng's words, she immediately left.

In Qingzhu Garden, Xiaotian was still confessing to Xiao Luobai without reservation: "The lover that the emperor gave to my sister-in-law has entered the mansion and was arranged by my sister-in-law to live in Qingning Garden."

He laughed: "Brother-in-law, don't worry. Qingning Garden is now surrounded by palace soldiers and not even a fly can get in. He Lin can't escape either...Brother-in-law, your frown can kill a fly. Do you also dislike He Lin? Otherwise, I might as well kill him with a packet of poison..."

…………

At the same time, in the Hall of Eternal Life.

Li Yuming was reporting the situation: "The Princess's Mansion has been sent to guard it strictly. There is no unusual movement in the mansion, and no one is dead..."

Li Yuanqi's brows were filled with sorrow: "He Wenzheng is dead. My eldest sister must be in so much pain that she won't accept the reality, so she won't hold a funeral."

He sighed and asked, "Li Yuming, do you think I am too cruel?"

Li Yuming bowed his head and said sincerely: "Your Majesty is not that kind of person."

Li Yuanqi sighed again. He looked very depressed and needed to keep exhaling to feel better.

He sighed faintly, "Yes, my heart is still not hard enough. I should have cut the grass and rooted it out, including An'er. I should have completely cut off all future troubles."

Li Yuming lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Li Yuanqi sat beside the table, his eyes full of fatigue. He closed his eyelids to hide the fatigue in his eyes. He asked, "How is my sister doing?"

Li Yuming replied: "After waking up today, the Second Princess went to Prince Yun's Mansion. It is said that she went to look for Prince Yun..."

He paused, and then said: "Xiao Luobai is awake too..."

Li Yuanqi seemed to be thinking about something, but no one knew what he was thinking about.

After a long while, he suddenly asked, "Li Yuming, do you like my sister?"

Li Yuming's body froze, and he immediately replied, "I dare not."

He lowered his head, his eyes were dark, and he didn't dare to look directly at the emperor.

Li Yuanqi opened his eyes and chuckled: "What can you not say to me? If you like my sister, I can help you."

Li Yuming decisively refused: "I don't have that idea about the princess."

He smiled bitterly in his heart. How could he not have some thoughts? It was for her that he stayed in the palace and became the commander of the imperial guards, just to be able to see her often.

But what's the use of his liking her? The second princess already has someone she loves, and he, the commander of the royal guards, is not as good as her lover.

He, Li Yuming, couldn't protect her at all, so there was no need to cause trouble to each other.

Li Yuanqi suddenly slapped the table, leaning forward slightly, with a strong aura of oppression, his voice suddenly became sharp: "Li Yuming, how dare you deceive the emperor!"

Li Yuming immediately knelt down: "I dare not!"

Li Yuanqi looked at Li Yuming who was motionless. After a moment, he sat back lazily and waved his hand casually. His voice was a little lazy: "Get up, I was just joking with you."

Li Yuming stood up, with his head lowered and a humble attitude.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. He has followed Li Yuanqi for so many years and has already figured out his character. Even if he admits that he likes Li Yuanrou, the emperor will not let him go to the princess's mansion.

Because he is the emperor's sword, the emperor needs him, and he cannot leave.

Li Yuanqi issued an order: "Send more people to my sister's mansion. No need to hide. Surround it for me. No one inside can be let out."

Li Yuming responded and went out to make arrangements.

Li Yuanqi held his forehead with his hand, looking a little tired and a little troubled.

Fulai stepped forward and began to massage Li Yuanqi's temples. He said respectfully, "Your Majesty, you have not slept all night. It is noon now. Do you want to go to bed..."

Li Yuanqi raised his hand, and Fulai lowered his brows and retreated sadly.

He was indeed tired, but he couldn't sleep.

He sighed in his heart, this supreme position is really hard to sit on...

Who leaked the news? He kept the beating of Xiao Luobai and the killing of He Wenzhen secret, but in the morning court everyone was questioning him as the emperor why he wanted to kill He Wenzhen.

The incident of beating Xiao Luobai was well concealed, so it must be the eldest sister's doing...

Fortunately, a countermeasure was thought of in advance. In the end, He Wenzhen was charged with deserting the battlefield on the grounds that he returned early after the unsuccessful battle. This temporarily stabilized the group of ministers.

Before he could rest after the court session, Censor Cao came again and knelt down for a long time. He was upset and asked Li Yuming to take people to carry Censor Cao out of the palace. He also warned Censor Cao that if he wanted to hit someone, he could go home and if he died, he should be given a virtuous name, Cao Mude, so that his reputation would be passed down through the ages.

Li Yuanqi rubbed his forehead again in annoyance. He thought of his elder sister and eldest sister...

He thought of sparing Xiao Luobai's life for the time being, and wait for He Lin to get along with his sister for a while. If He Lin could gain his sister's favor, it would not be too late to take action against Xiao Luobai.

As for An'er...he just shook his head.

An'er couldn't be killed. If An'er was killed, my eldest sister would not be able to survive.

He took another deep breath and sighed in his heart, really missing the time when his father was still around...

His father is gone, his mother is dispensable, and Prince Yun is even more insignificant in his heart. Even if Prince Yun is his biological father, he will not be merciful. There is no family affection between the two of them, not to mention that he is the emperor.

And he and King Yun never stopped their secret calculations. Although they appeared to be on good terms with each other on the surface, undercurrents were already surging inside.

Prince Yun was like a thorn in his heart. He had to get rid of Prince Yun. It was a pity that he failed to kill him during the hunting trip.

He sighed to himself and thought, forget it, let it be, he was already busy enough with the court affairs.

As for the two sisters, they should be detained for the time being. Now, these two sisters are the only relatives he has left. If he forces them to death, Li Yuanqi will really become a lonely man...

Besides, he couldn't concentrate on taking care of them now.

Hadn't those old ministers been clamoring for him to establish a queen and take concubines? He did as they wished, and just used that to suppress the death of He Wenzheng...

He still has things to do next...
