A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 708: Seeking Marriage
So from then on, no matter how much pain he felt, Yi Fuya didn't dare to scream out loud. He just groaned softly, his teeth chattering, and he hardly even looked up at her.

Yuan Wuyou also tacitly understood and said nothing more, deciding to end the battle quickly.

Yi Fuya was in so much pain that she was a little unconscious, but she woke up after being frightened by her. If this Fengling King was short of a man, wouldn't she and the emperor have... that kind of relationship?
That's not right. Didn't they say that the daughter of the previous empress died and the one who survived was a boy? Then the relationship between their Yuan family is too complicated!
But Yi Fuya had no intention of studying her family secrets. He only cared about whether he would work for the emperor's enemies or for the emperor's wife next.

But until King Fengling finished bandaging his hand, stood up suddenly, packed up his medicine box and was about to leave... Yi Fuya didn't speak first, and she didn't say another word to him.

Yi Fuya looked at her back as she left. She was tall and straight and looked arrogant. He felt that she seemed to have forgotten something.

As soon as Yuan Wuyou walked out of the door, Yi Fuya followed him out in wooden clogs.

"Wait! King Fengling, why are you running so fast?"

Hearing the creaking sound of clogs chasing after him, King Fengling turned his head expressionlessly, his amber eyes narrowed slightly, staring at him, and said in a cold voice:

"I didn't run away."

The man in front of her had messy hair and a baby face. Normally, you couldn't tell what he looked like when he looked fierce. But at this moment, he was staring with big eyes, his deep blue pupils were sparkling, and he looked dejected.

Yi Fuya avoided the gaze, showing embarrassment.
"Um... Don't take the offense just now to heart. I've always treated you as my brother. Anyway, I'm not interested in women, nor men."

"understood."

"Are you coming back... to take charge of the Suxing Mansion? Who do you need Brother Ya to kill for you?"

"Come back. Don't consider killing anyone for now."

"I can enter the Suxing Mansion and serve you, but I have one condition."

"explain."

"Don't invite Xiao Yuansu in."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Wuyou raised his eyebrows and was about to cross his arms to think, but he only moved his right arm that was holding the medicine box, so he said directly:

"Why? He's quite honest."

"He's just pretending!" Upon hearing her words, Yi Fuya's features suddenly became ferocious again and he gritted his teeth in hatred.

"All of them in the Xiao family are the same! They only know how to pretend to be weak in front of the powerful. I don't care about anyone else except him. He is just a servile slave of a conquered country. Why pretend to be noble?"

After he said it, he realized belatedly that he had said something wrong, and then he received Yuan Wuyou's sharp gaze.

Yi Fuya quickly tried to make amends, "I'm not talking about you. Aren't we both slaves of a conquered country? I'm saying that the people of the Southern Dynasty are not sincere."

Unfortunately, King Fengling still had a sinister look in his eyes and said with a stern face,

"The condition I made with Yuwen Huaibi was that the decision-making power of appointing and dismissing anyone in Suxing Mansion would be in my hands. But he bargained with me and insisted on giving me someone."

"Who is it?" Yi Fuya asked, and then realized, "It can't be me, right?"

Yuan Wuyou glanced at him and said calmly,

"I didn't agree to take you in. After all, I have conditions for hiring people. Treating you today is just a test of our loyalty to you. To be honest, I don't want to recruit a thorn planted by Yuwen Huaibi under my nose."

"What? You're willing to disobey the emperor's orders for that kid? Besides, I'm not his majesty's spy."

"Even he can't influence my decision, do you think you can do it?" Yi Fuya gritted his teeth and chose to give in. "If you must recruit him, don't schedule him with me. I want to beat him up when I see him pretending to be weak."

After a pause, he said sincerely, "To be honest, I don't want to live under the same roof with you, but His Majesty said that I need to find a place to recuperate, and he only trusts the Suxing Mansion."

Yuan Wuyou was secretly shocked by Yuwen Huaibi's words. Did he really have such high expectations for his yet-to-be-formed Suxing Mansion? Or was he just trying to win him over?
But she nodded in agreement before she had time to ask further questions.

"That's fine. I will definitely not let you enemies fight each other when you meet. It's not conducive to unity."

After saying that, Yuan Wuyou turned around and left.

As soon as she left the inn and walked down the long street, Yuan Wuyou encountered a group of palace soldiers who were practicing setting up stalls. She looked alert all the way, and even her posture was in the strict manner of a warrior.

Yuan Wuyou basically understood what he had heard based on what he had gotten from Yuwen Huaibi.

The night was as dark as ink, and she had to get back in time.

——At the same time, night fell in Bowang City.

Due to the recent wars and the change of ownership of the city, there are no longer many vendors setting up stalls at night in Bowang City.

But in an old alley next to the inn, there was a sheepskin lantern supported by a wooden stick at the entrance of the alley, with a folding stall underneath.

The stall owner was a blind Taoist priest with a white cloth covering his eyes and wearing a gray-green robe. He held a flag with the eight trigrams painted on it. He was just bored when he heard the sound of clanging footsteps approaching.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang on the fortune-telling stand in front of him, and something heavy fell down.

The fortune teller reached out and touched it, and found it was a gold ingot with the official silver seal of Qi State engraved on the bottom.

Before he opened his mouth, the visitor said:
"Master Yang, please give me a divination."

Upon hearing that familiar clear voice, which was graceful, steady and full of energy, Yangzhiyu's face immediately showed joy.

Who would have thought that Lanling Wang, the most powerful general of the Qi Dynasty, who had made a name for himself with his corpses and was feared by ghosts and gods, would one day ask for divination from a blind man on the street. Did he believe in fortune-telling?

Yang Zhiyu asked hurriedly, "What is your request, Your Highness? Are you asking when we can repel the enemy and protect the territory of Da Qi from being invaded? Or are you planning to march west and take over Jingxiang in one fell swoop?"

Gao Changgong: "Seeking marriage."

Taoist Yang's heart sank instantly. He waved his hand and was about to decline, advising the prince not to be greedy for women, but the next moment another dumpling was stuffed into his hand, and it turned out to be gold.

Lanling Wang said sincerely, "It's urgent. I beg the Taoist to give me some advice."

Taoist Yang, holding two heavy gold ingots in his hands, was shaken. After all, his fortune-telling was to guide the confused people, and he saw that King Lanling was very confused now!
"But then again... a hero cannot resist the temptation of a beautiful woman, and good words cannot persuade a damned ghost. Since Your Highness insists on this, I will tell you a fortune."

After all, the blind Taoist priest had professional beliefs, so he took the tortoise shell and a few coins and shook them to tell fortunes.

After he drew the hexagram, he touched one positive and five negative, which was "Tian Feng Gou". Mo Mo wanted to push away the heavy shake, but Gao Changgong held the tortoise shell.

"Why, now that the Taoist priest has given the divination, you dare not speak?"

"This hexagram is the Tianfeng Gou hexagram. The woman you are looking for has strong yin and weak yang. It may be a sign of having one wife and multiple husbands. Don't trust your true feelings to someone like Your Highness who loves you so much."

"Oh, I don't think it's a big deal." Gao Changgong waved his hand disapprovingly.

"So what if she is Tian Fenggui? I must marry her."
