The Prince Consort's Beloved

Chapter 132: King Yun’s Hatred

He originally thought that Li Yuanrou was a person who focused on fame, wealth and power, but everything that happened in the past year made him overturn this idea. His little girl was still the simple-minded child who just wanted to live a happy life and didn't want to be involved in conspiracies and calculations.

He turned around, walked to the bottom of the painting on the wall, reached out and pushed aside the picture of the dancing girl, revealing half of a smiling little face.

A scene from long ago came to mind.

The girl smiled and asked him: "Uncle, do you think it's good to be an emperor?

He asked the girl, "What do you think?"

The little girl said innocently, "I don't think it's good. It's too tiring. My father is sick from exhaustion. But being a princess is good. Like me, I am carefree and happy every day. I can have whatever I want."

"Without your father to protect you from the wind and rain, how can you, a princess, be free from worries?"

The girl asked: "Why must father protect me from the wind and rain? Uncle, can't you protect me from the wind and rain?"

Prince Yun came back to his senses and suddenly thought about what he was pursuing in this life, power and status, love and family?

He had no parents, and even though he was raised by his grandmother and treated the same as his brother Li Heng, he was not happy. The person he loved abandoned him in order to become the empress.

Li Yuanqi was irreconcilable with him. Even though he had Li Yuanqi's blood flowing in his body, he had never shown any mercy to him and had always tried every possible means to kill him.

Everyone hated and despised him, including his biological mother...

When he grew up, someone checked and found out that his biological mother did not even look at him after giving birth to him and committed suicide that night.

She was the only princess of Dai Viet at that time, with such a noble status, but she gave up her life and gave up on a man who did not love her.

Then what about Li Yan? If his mother loved him, how could she refuse to even look at him? People say that a mother loves her child the most. If his biological mother loved him even a little, how could she be so determined to abandon him and make him the sinner who killed both his parents.

He can still remember the time when he accidentally broke into his grandmother's Buddhist temple as a child. His grandmother was crying in front of the small statue of his biological mother in front of the Buddha. When she turned to look at him, there was deep hatred in her eyes.

Even though it was only that one time, and even though his grandmother loved him very much on other days, he still felt like there was a thorn in his heart. The thorn was too deep to be removed, and it brought him pain for years.

And his gentle brother, who knew that he and Ruowan were in love, designed a plan to send him to war and coaxed Ruowan into becoming his queen. When Li Yuanrou and Li Yuantao saw that incident, he was deeply hurt by Ruowan's words. He was so stimulated that he lost all his rationality. In addition, he was caught by Li Yuanrou, so he was resentful and unwilling, and impulsively gave Li Heng a chronic poison...

Although he later tried every means to detoxify the poison, Li Heng's health continued to deteriorate. This incident made him feel guilty, otherwise why would he have been so kind to Li Yuanqi again and again.

What he said about decentralization due to laziness was all excuses he made for himself. He had been intentionally delegating power to Li Yuanqi over the past few months.

King Yun looked at the smiling girl in front of him. She was the only person in his life who had ever warmed his heart. His heart had been softened because of her, but also hardened because of her, and he even became cruel and murderous.

Now that I'm getting older, I don't know if it's because I'm old, but my mentality has become more relaxed. I've begun to let go of all the hatred and unwillingness for no reason, and I've even begun to yearn for a stable life.

Prince Yun stared at the little girl with curved eyes without blinking. He couldn't help but ask himself what was the purpose of living this life. He had loved people, hated people, gained and lost. Now that he was in his forties, he looked back and realized that it was all nothing.

He is in a high position and seems to have everything, but in fact he has nothing.

He even impulsively thought that once all the power in his hands was lost, he would just die as they wished.

His eyes gradually became deep. What was his response when Li Yuanrou asked him if he could shelter her from the wind and rain?

He remembered that he was joking with a smile, but in fact he was testing her: "Of course it is possible, so do you think it would be nice to be the daughter of the Emperor's uncle?"

The girl leaned on his back, her childish voice full of joy: "Excellent."

Prince Yun's eyes flashed, and he suddenly tore off the picture of the dancing girl, revealing a small smiling face behind it. He looked at the words at the signature: More joy, longer peace, no worries, and long-term health.

This was what he wrote when he came back the day she said "very good". It was his sincere hope for her life.

Joy, peace, worry-free, health...

After today's unexpected event, can she still be happy, peaceful, worry-free and healthy?

With a calm look, he hung the picture of the dancing girl back, turned around and left the study, then rode his horse towards Princess Shanyang's mansion.

He was worried and wanted to see it with his own eyes.

…………

Li Yuanrou arrived at the princess's mansion before Prince Yun. The door was wide open, and Li Yuanrou, Qingluan and Daya quickly entered the mansion.

As soon as she entered the mansion, Erya rushed out, crying uncontrollably with tears all over her face.

Erya held Li Yuanrou back and said, "Princess, don't go over there. It's dangerous."

Li Yuanrou didn't even ask what the current situation in the mansion was. She just glanced at Erya, brushed her hand away and ran inside. Qingluan followed her without saying a word.

Erya grabbed Daya who was lagging behind and Daya asked her, "What's going on?"

Arya spoke tremblingly and incoherently: "So many people, so many people came, all holding swords, fighting, fighting..."

Erya had been hiding in a place with several maids. She was worried about her master, so she plucked up the courage to come out and secretly looked out at the door, fearing that her master might rush in without knowing the situation and get hurt by mistake.

Arya cried and said, "What should I do? What should I do? Will the princess be in trouble..."

Daya looked calm, but her heart was already beating like a drum. She pretended to be calm and patted Erya: "Go back and hide, don't come out."

After saying that, Daya ran towards the green plum garden. Erya stamped her feet anxiously, wiped away her tears, gritted her teeth, and hid back.

When Xiaoya saw Erya coming back, she cried even more sadly, and kept saying, "Xiaotian is still in Qingmei Garden, Xiaotian doesn't know martial arts..."

Erya thought that the princess had just gone to the Green Plum Garden, and that those vicious people today were heading for the Green Plum Garden. She couldn't help but start to get scared, and she hugged Xiaoya and cried bitterly.

Li Yuanrou's heart was beating wildly as she ran. She called out, "Sister Qingluan."

Qingluan understood what she meant with just one look, and took her in his arms and flew towards the Qingmei Garden.

The closer they got to the green plum garden, the louder the noise of chaotic fighting became.

The vision gradually became clear, and the tall black figure suddenly came into view.
