A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 562 Why Don't You Believe Me?

The ghost-faced man had a lonely look in his eyes, his dark pupils were sad.
"If he had told me, I would have stopped him from destroying himself. Forging documents and falsely conveying the emperor's orders is indeed a crime worthy of death. This is too absurd and rebellious... I dare not gamble your imperial ambitions on your feelings for him."

Yuan Wuyou stared at the man in front of him with a fierce gaze.

"You finally admitted that you didn't know about Gao Yanzong's forgery of documents?"

Gao Changgong suddenly raised his black eyes, unable to hide his panic. He then realized that he seemed to have let something slip.

"Isn't this what you are talking about?"

Yuan Wuyou on the opposite side nodded calmly.

"That's one thing too. And today he performed a dance to seduce the Princess of Chen."

Since he had already let the cat out of the bag, Gao Changgong simply threw the can down the drain. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Forget it. I can't deny it. When I testified to my fifth brother, didn't you believe me?"

"You have lost your credibility, and that is your own fault."

Yuan Wuyou had suffered too many blows today. When he frowned, his eyebrows and eyes became cold, sinister and distant.

Gao Changgong couldn't stand her distancing herself from him like this. His eyes suddenly became solemn and his tone was tearful: "Why don't you believe me? Why didn't you take me with you? Do you really think I don't understand power and schemes? I just don't want to use conspiracy and tricks on others!"

The girl opposite simply crossed her arms and looked coldly at the ghost-faced man who was talking hysterically.

"Gao Changgong, listen to what you said. What exactly do you want to say?"

"Am I relying on you? Did my injury hold you back? After you broke up with me, you didn't even need me to protect you in a fight, and you even moved out. Does that mean you don't want me anymore? What do you mean?"

"I don't want you to get involved and be implicated innocently."

"Perfunctory!" The ghost-faced man roared, and then his tone became heavier and more intense. "I am not an ignorant teenager anymore. I love to hear your sweet words, but I don't believe them. I can tell the difference between good and bad! You and Yanzong have been on and off, why are you so determined to treat me? I don't believe you are the kind of superficial person who only cares about someone because you have physical contact with them. How did I, Gao Changgong, disappoint you?"

Yuan Wuyou rarely saw Gao Changgong questioning her so crazily, but what he kept asking was questioning whether she believed him, which made Yuan Wuyou immediately furious.

"That's enough! Why don't you believe me? How dare you ask? Wasn't there an assassin at the inn across the street? Everyone is busy, just go do your thing! I still need to find someone."

Seeing her start to leave, Gao Changgong also stepped forward and stretched out his arm to stop her.
"Do you not love me anymore? Or do you not believe in my love for you? I would risk my life for you!"

The man who was half a head taller than her had a pair of dark phoenix eyes that were drooping, and his eyes were deep and cold. Yuan Wuyou rarely saw such sadness in his eyes. She felt really distressed and a little moved that a handsome man like Gao Changgong, who had a sunny personality, could be angered into a resentful husband.

Yuan Wuyou soothed him softly, "Chang Gong, of course I believe in your love, but I can't believe that you love me without any ulterior motives."

This sentence seemed to hit the vital point. Gao Changgong suddenly glared with his black eyes, and said fiercely! "My love for you is without any intention! I have never thought of helping the Gao family to use you. I can disown all my relatives for you. I even thought that if I fell out with the Gao family one day, I would go to you and elope with you without any worries..."

Yuan Wuyou said this casually, but she didn't expect him to be so fierce. She immediately narrowed her eyes and sneered,
"Even if you don't want to use me, there are people who can make you use me and harm me without knowing it."

Yuan Wuyou believed in Gao Changgong's love, and also believed that his love was pure and without ulterior motives, but she did not believe that the Gao family behind him had no ulterior motives towards her. He could easily be driven to use her without knowing it. After all, the Gao family had always dared to use her directly. So apart from talking about feelings, as long as it involved practical interests, she could not trust Gao Changgong at all.

In addition, there was the previous experience of Gao Yanzong. At least Gao Yanzong was aware that he was being used, and occasionally dared to resist the Gao family. But Gao Changgong was honest, loyal and filial, and it was difficult for him to realize that he was being used as a knife to stab his beloved.

The moment of silence between the two broke Gao Changgong's heart.

He suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest, and the wound that had just been poisoned seemed to spread a sharp and stinging pain. He raised his hand to cover his chest calmly, pretending to be holding his heart, but he was afraid that she would notice something was wrong.

The ghost-faced man endured the sharp pain in his chest. Because breathing would affect the wound, he could only ask in a weak and aggrieved voice, "You promised to fight alongside me, why did you abandon me like this?"

Hearing this, Yuan Wuyou couldn't hold back any longer and flew into a rage!

"Shut up! It was obviously you who abandoned me first! You could abandon me for the emperor and for your brother. You didn't choose me, so why should I rush to stick with you? To be honest, my heart died the first time you abandoned me for the country and your brother. Even if you have a secret affair with your brother, I sincerely think he is more real than you. At least he dares to love and hate, and gives me everything he has."

Gao Changgong was stunned by her yelling. His mind couldn't accept these heartless words for a while, and his dark phoenix eyes became more and more moist.

"What did you say? You really don't love me anymore?"

"It's not that I don't love you, it's that I'm disappointed. Of course I love you, Gao Changgong, and I love your fifth brother, my sister Feng, and the common people... But the people I protect are those who can come and go at my call, and you make me feel the same way."

"You blame me for not letting go of everything and eloping with you?"

Yuan Wuyou couldn't help but frown.
"Why do you always get stuck in a dead end? I blame you for not being resolute and not protecting your food. In the eyes of the world, you are a good person, loving and philanthropic, and you can share your gold and silver with others, even food and drink, but when it comes to your wife, you shouldn't give it to your brother. How can I trust you when you don't keep any for yourself? After all, you and I have different paths and are on opposite sides. Now that all the countries are attacking Bowang City, I, a king of a fallen country, naturally don't need to escape, but you should defend the city for Northern Qi."

"I'm not!" The man with the ghost face covered his chest with his hands, and the pain and crying that he had just suppressed came back. "I... I want to have you all to myself, but do I have the ability to do so? I thought that was the virtue that a wife should have, and I thought you would like my generosity and that you would like me to help you find a concubine..."

He asked desperate questions one after another, but the girl in front of him just looked at him calmly.

"You just need to firmly choose me and follow me, and I will take care of the rest, but you didn't. So, Gao Changgong, before you came to question me today why I didn't believe you, I thought it was fun to coax you. After all, kissing and hugging you is like raping you, which is very conservative. But now I'm tired of it, and you should face your own problems."

Gao Changgong's black eyes were moist, and he seemed a little dazed.

"I...what's the problem?"
