A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 596 What to Confess

After watching the two brothers take away the personal soldiers they brought with them, the originally huge crowd of people in black and red suddenly became sparse, and even the empty gate of the inn was revealed.

All that was left were the Tiger Guards in black armor, each with their helmet covering their face, and the sky and the earth were all pitch black.

Yuan Wuyou looked around and saw people everywhere, but she couldn't see a single living face.

The only one left was the tall and graceful young man in black, with gloomy features and a pale face. Even his eyeballs were dark, and only a touch of bright red lips was the only bright color on his body and even in the world.

The color of her face suddenly opened and closed, and she coldly ordered the imperial guards behind her: "Everyone, wait here! Wait for me."

As he spoke, the young man's long legs were as thin as bamboo joints. He took light steps and walked straight towards the one-armed girl in a red shirt holding a scabbard.

Strangely enough, the drizzle stopped as soon as the Gao brothers left, but the sky was still gloomy.

When the two of them were within one step of each other, the girl suddenly raised her hand to stop them. She spoke first, in a calm, low voice:

"Brother, what's the progress? I don't hesitate to offend Gao Yanzong and let him think that I am heartless. Brother, don't you believe that I love the country more than the beauty?"

Li Ming saw her long eyelashes raised, and her dark brown eyes were gloomy.

"Everything is within the game. If you take one more step, you will be accused of rebellion."

"You may not believe my foresight, but you must believe the suspicion and desire of these ungrateful people to exclude others. Brother, you have seen a lot of these political schemes in the Central Plains recently. Do you have any experience?"

"They praised King Fengling for his wisdom and courage, and boasted that you are worthy of being the child of Tianmu Khan, and that both boys and girls are wonderful. But I secretly vowed to prove myself in the future."

"Does this prove that you, the King of Fengling, are a man?"

"It proves that even if I put aside my fake identity as King Fengling, I can still be famous."

"You have ambition." Yuan Wuyou glanced at the guards a few steps behind the two of them. Even if they were all wearing armor, there was no guarantee that no one would hear their conversation, so he suddenly raised his voice in confusion:

"Brother, you can even lead the emperor's imperial guards now. I believe you are highly valued by the Zhou Kingdom. It will be a short time before you can get a high position and a noble title."

Li Ming felt a little embarrassed by her flattery, but when he heard her mention the emperor, he remembered the important matter and hurriedly made up for it.

"I do have something to ask you. Have you met Lord Zhou? Has he been honest with you?"

"No, what did he confess?"

Li Ming saw that his brows were slightly furrowed, and his deep and sinister eyes narrowed slightly.
"He does have half of my female Gu in him."

Yuan Wuyou felt a chill down his spine. "How did you know? What does he want to confess?"

"Are you asking even though you already know the answer? If he has half female Gu, he would be a pure yang body, so he would naturally tell you the truth... Why did he lie to you and say that he was the first one to consummate marriage with you?"

When she mentioned this, she felt a chill, "It may be difficult for him to confess. I believe it myself. Why do you still doubt it and insist that he has a Gu in his body?"

"Because the first time I saw you two, I knew you had never had it. The two of you were able to have the same memory because you were manipulated by the nightmare. Have you forgotten? I can see your dreams. Last night, I saw the same dream from him again."

The two of them had spoken in low voices just now, fearing that they might be overheard by the palace soldiers. But as the topic deepened, the conversation became more and more heated, and Sister Yuan's pretty face became more and more flushed. Even her amber-like eyes widened and brightened, full of shock... "Our... dream?"

The black-clothed young man raised his eyelids, and his usually sinister and mean eyelids were a little red. He pretended to be casual, raised his hand and stroked the braid tied to the ribbon on his front, and said calmly:

"The scene was disgusting. He was a virgin, ten years older than you, and he was so despicable as to...take advantage of you being drunk and do those things... It was truly outrageous."

"Was it a dream... or was it real?"

"Of course it was a dream. But it almost came true. A man who is infected with the love-locking Gu is impotent. If he knew that drinking with you could break the Gu, he would definitely not just be dreaming."

"Eh? I'm even more confused now that you mention this. When did I plant the poison in him?"

"Why are you asking me? How would I know this?"

Hearing this, the young man gritted his teeth in anger and poked her forehead with his slender white finger, saying angrily: "You, you've spent the past 18 years in a blink of an eye, and now you're trying to make up for it, right? You were just made a fool by a poisonous ghost and a witch from another world... How could you lose your memory so completely? What else can I expect you to remember?"

"…It's better not to remember. I hate everyone I see, especially Yuwen Huaibi. The more I get to know him, the more I hate him."

"But you did like Yuwen Huaibi before. Even I, who had only seen you a few times since childhood, heard about it."

Before he finished speaking, he heard cavalrymen galloping over from a distance. The clanging of armor mixed with the neighing of horses stopped at the door. The palace soldiers who had been standing solemnly and ready for battle suddenly turned around and knelt, shouting, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Long live my emperor!"

"..."

Hearing who the visitor was, Li Ming glanced sideways outside the door, and through the mass of kneeling palace soldiers, he saw a black-shirted figure who had just dismounted from a white horse outside the gate.

The boy withdrew his gaze and looked at the girl beside him.

"Do you still like Yuwen Huaibi? Why have you liked him since you were a child?"

Yuan Wuyou naturally heard the word "Your Majesty" clearly. He only glanced at the black-clad figure getting off the white horse at the door, then turned his head away and calmly replied to his brother:
"That's just the way it is. I like Yuwen Huaibi's melancholy and introverted energy. I have found him attractive since I was a child. He has a kind of cold and peaceful feeling. Even though he doesn't look like a good husband or a kind father, and doesn't have compassion for all living beings, I think he is suitable to be the main wife."

"I can only say that inferiority complex is the best way for men to beautify themselves. The more inferior a man is, the more objectively fragile his beauty is. What a pity..." The young man was speaking in a sarcastic tone when an urgent voice came out of nowhere - "Yuan Wuyou! Have you seen Li -"

The voice stopped abruptly, and was choked the moment it saw the young man in black.

The brother and sister looked in the direction of the voice and saw the person who came in was dressed in black, with a high ponytail and a thin jade mask covering the upper half of his face, revealing only his pointed, bloodless chin with two thin, light red lips embedded on it.

Of course it is Yuwen Huaibi.

It was obvious that he was really anxious. He actually wore casual clothes and chased after him alone. He called him "Li" Minjian instead of "Yuan" Minjian, and was unwilling to acknowledge his identity as a member of the Yuan family royal family.

At this moment, the Xianbei emperor was standing at the door, far away from the crowds of palace soldiers, but his sharp gaze still passed through countless obstacles and met the young man's eyes, like a tit-for-tat.

Thinking of the few words he had just heard, Yuwen Huaibi immediately shouted angrily, "Li Mingjian! Stop talking nonsense and disrupting the government!"
