A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 518 Give Me Peony

Seeing him pretending to be mute, Yuan Wuyou suddenly remembered the time when he pretended to be mute and was rescued by him. He couldn't help but frowned and said, "Maybe you have lied to me too many times. When I think about how you wanted to kill me outside Blackwater City a few months ago, and then you got infected with the plague and pretended to be mute to trick me into saving you."

The two of them looked at each other for a long while, until she turned to leave, and Yuwen Huaibi grabbed her right wrist from the side, but the next moment he felt that it was an offense and let go.

Then he said in embarrassment: "I want to say that I really lost my memory a few months ago, and even contracted the plague, all because of those evildoers in southern Xinjiang who knew witchcraft. I approached Yuan Mingjian to find out who caused me to lose my memory and contract the disease."

"Now, do you have a conclusion?"

“It has not yet been finalized.”

"Professional matters should be left to professionals. You should step back and take command."

The two looked at each other. Facing her teasing look, mixed with arrogance and contempt, the Xianbei man narrowed his eyes slightly, "You seem to doubt my martial arts? I'm afraid you don't know that Yuan Mingjian can imitate your fighting skills. I taught him."

"Ah?" The red-shirted girl's amber eyes suddenly widened, and she was dumbfounded. "Wait... you can imitate other people's moves? I just chased away someone who imitated my handwriting, and you come with another one?"

Under the cold gaze of the Xianbei man, Yuan Wuyou immediately realized the point he wanted to make. "Can you... really protect yourself?"

"..." When people are speechless, they will mostly remain silent. At that time, Yuwen Huaibi just looked at her silently.

Yuan Wuyou was going crazy inside!

It turns out that this dog emperor is not as weak and unable to take care of himself as she thought! Instead, he is quite strong in fighting? In the past, she only knew that he was aloof to the outside world but clingy to her. It turns out that he is also very aloof to the outside world and can kill a master with random punches. He only showed his punch to herself like hitting cotton, pretending to be a weak gentleman?

Thinking of this, she could only interrupt his silence with a wry smile.

"I should have realized it long ago. When you pretended to be mute and lurked around me, your strength was almost stronger than mine once you recovered. How could you be a weak man who couldn't take care of himself? Did you find it interesting to pretend for so many years? When did you secretly practice martial arts?"

The Xianbei man in front of him sank his eyes and said seriously:
"I have been visiting the people alone for many years. How can I be a weak man who can't even tie a chicken? But I dare not let people know that the puppet emperor has military power. Compared with you, I am indeed inferior, let alone a general like Lanling King. If I am not proficient in martial arts, it is not an exaggeration to say that I am not good at it."

"Tsk, then when are you going to show your skills?"

"When you need me."

Yuan Wuyou: "..."

Yuwen Huaibi's phoenix eyes were smiling, and as the two of them looked at each other, he almost bewitched Yuan Wuyou into a trance.

She felt her cheeks suddenly getting hot, so she had to clear her throat and change the subject:
"Why have you suddenly become so dogmatic and old-fashioned these days? You don't even want to compete with Gao Yanzong anymore?"

When he heard her mention Gao Yanzong, Yuan Wuyou could see the contempt and disdain in the Xianbei man's eyes even through the wooden Nuo mask.

"Is he worthy of comparison? I used to think you had never seen such an active person, so I was curious about his charm. But after seeing Gao Yanzong's coquettish face, I just felt that he was shameless and despicable. I can't compare with him, so I just want to teach you not to go astray."

"Lost on the wrong path? Ha..." The two of them stood opposite each other, only an arm's length away. The red-shirted girl who had just been taught a lesson by him suddenly took half a step forward, almost sticking her delicate and heroic baby face on the Xianbei man's mask. Her phoenix eyes were smiling:

"I've already fallen in love with someone else, can you accept that? And why are you still pursuing me so relentlessly?"

Their faces were so close that Yuwen Huaibi could almost feel her warm breath through the mask. Fortunately, the mask blocked his suddenly hot cheeks. "There are many people in the world who want to be as loyal as wild geese, but most people can't do it. Since I married the Turkic princess, I have never thought of... demanding that you only have me. What's more, I am a person who abides by tradition. I can follow the traditions of the Xianbei people and Huaxu."

He answered fluently, but Yuan Wuyou was confused.

"Why are you always so clingy and ambiguous in private? No matter what I say, it's like a punch on cotton."

"Is it unclear?" The Xianbei man suddenly chuckled from under his Nuo mask. "The Xianbei are also a tribe that respects their mother. Therefore, the Xianbei tribes in the Western Wei Dynasty obey your mother's rule more than the Han people. If you return to the court, I will also... obey you."

Upon hearing this, Empress Huaxu suddenly opened her thick and long eyelashes, and stared solemnly at the Xianbei man in front of her with her amber-like brown eyes.

Yuan Wuyou was immediately panicked. What the hell, this Bailu slave fought back against her? How come she couldn't help being moved by what he said even though she knew he was lying?
Yuwen Huaibi also stared at her with his deep blue eyes, without blinking.

What interrupted their eye contact was a sudden sarcasm: "Are you forcing your sister to accept you as a concubine? I know that you pretend to be noble on the surface, but you are still a pretentious monster behind the scenes!"

The two of them hurriedly looked away and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a girl in a red dress walking in from outside the yard.

Seeing Feng Lingxin coming, Yuan Wuyou hurried forward, pulled her sleeves, and asked in a low voice:

"What's going on with Gao Yanzong?"

"Don't worry, you're not a mother, he's sick himself."

"…Is it the brain? Or a real disease? It's not a fatal disease, is it?"

"All of them. Don't worry. He knows medical skills. He won't die."

The two sisters suddenly started talking in a low voice as if no one was around, leaving the Xianbei man aside.

Yuan Wuyou suddenly remembered that there was someone else. Turning back, he saw Yuwen Huaibi standing in front of a bush of peonies a few steps away, his eyes only on the peonies, as if he didn't notice the two of them at all.

She approached with a guilty conscience and started a conversation, "You like peonies? Then pick a few."

The Nuo masked man shook his head slowly. "I don't like it. I only like peaceful peonies. After all, although I admire the beauty of peonies, I dare not imitate their integrity. Besides... I can't feed them, so how can I break their branches and kill them?"

Yuan Wuyou was speechless, "You are quite talented."

Sister Feng was listening with disdain on her face. She crossed her arms and sneered, "What a hypocritical monster."

In order to break this strange atmosphere of sadness and melancholy, Yuan Wuyou stepped forward decisively, intending to pick flowers for him. The Xianbei man suddenly bent down and picked a white peony. When she leaned closer, he stood up and handed it to her.

Yuan Wuyou was stunned and didn't dare to answer it. "What do you mean?"

Yuwen Huaibi's deep blue phoenix eyes under the Nuo mask said solemnly: "Although I am offering flowers to Buddha, I still want to give you "Jiang Li". As the saying goes, "Give me peony, I will repay you with angelica."

She didn't say anything, and Sister Feng beside her said:
"Everyone knows that Han men and women often give each other peonies after dating to express their love and affection at first sight. Are you, a Xianbei, pretending to be ignorant and taking advantage of my sister?"
