A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 754
Later, Zheng Guanqi saw that no matter how she provoked Yuwen Huaibi, he couldn't get any results. Yuan Wuyou, who was already taciturn, simply stopped talking. Even the Gao brothers were silent. She was really embarrassed, so she talked to herself and talked about their old friendship with the Gao brothers.

Yuan Wuyou had become immune to what she said.

Instead, the man wearing the jade mask sat there listening in a dignified manner, with one hand resting on the edge of the table. He used his thumb, which was so white that it seemed to have no joints, to rub a jade ring on his long index finger, which was quite interesting.

At first, Yuwen Huaibi listened to Zheng Guanqi talking about how she had liked Prince Lanling since childhood and how Prince Ande treated her closely, and she emphasized that she regretted not being able to see the two brothers to the end... Hearing this, Yuwen Huaibi felt quite gloating.

Until the woman surnamed Zheng changed the subject and said to the girl next to him that the female minister was very interested in her now, and if she returned to Ye City to be a female official, she would be able to surpass her legitimately.

The one-armed girl's expression was tense. Her pretty baby face was neither smiling nor polite, nor was she frowning and glaring in anger, but she was not calm or indifferent either.

Yuwen Huaibi suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

In fact, as soon as he sat down and listened to a few words, Yuwen Huaibi knew that today's dinner was held because Zheng Guanqi came to make fun of Yuan Wuyou, and it was also intended as a provocation and demonstration.

And the two brothers of the Gao family were actually related to her, and Gao Yanzong had even had an affair with her! At this time, let alone Yuan Wuyou, even he felt wronged and sulked for his beloved.

But Yuwen Huaibi looked at the girl sitting next to him, who had a gloomy expression at the moment. He wanted to leave but was too embarrassed to do so, and he felt really sorry for her.

She was originally a goddess, the ruler of a country! She was supposed to dominate all the countries, but now she was confronting a playboy and a street shrew, being defiled by a playboy... and being bullied by their romantic debts!
Yuwen Huaibi really wanted to stand up for her, or take her away so that she would no longer suffer such injustice, but he knew that even if he took her away, she would not leave.

He simply sat there and accompanied her.

At this time, Yuwen Huaibi was tired of the bickering between Zheng Guanqi and the Gao brothers, so he suddenly spoke coldly and turned to ask the girl with a numb face beside him.

"Wuyouer, how is the wound on your arm healing?"

The Xianbei man's voice is clear and cool, which is particularly abrupt amid the clamor of chatter, but it has the miraculous effect of purifying the soul.

Looking at the worry in the deep blue eyes of the man beside him, Yuan Wuyou only said politely, "It's all right."

Seeing that the two of them were sitting together, but each one was pretending to be noble, speaking in a way that was both innocent and not innocent, and the Xianbei emperor was only talking to her, Zheng Guanqi encouraged Yuan Wuyou to take off his mask.

The Xianbei Emperor immediately glared at the woman sitting opposite him and shouted in a deep voice, "How dare you!"

The emperor looked around with angry eyes, full of dominance that could not be concealed even by the jade mask he was wearing.

Zheng Guanqi was immediately shocked by the roar and fell silent.

The Xianbei man then said to the girl beside him in a gloomy voice, "Why are you sitting at the same table with such a person? You are really degrading yourself."

Yuan Wuyou pulled the corners of his lips awkwardly, "I can chat with anyone, but you don't like to make friends with others."

"In the entire Qi State, only the Lord of Qi is worthy of sitting at the same table with me."

Yuwen Huaibi said proudly, then bowed his head slightly and whispered to her, "However, wherever you are, I don't mind even if it's in a busy city. Fortunately, you are the only one I can see."

If the man in the Nuo mask just now was rich and powerful and was flirting openly, then the king of the enemy country in front of her was flirting secretly.

Zheng Guanqi suddenly realized that compared with the queen's luck with women, her stirring up trouble with these trivial matters was like showing off one's sword in front of Guan Gong... What disappointed her even more was that as soon as the monarch of the enemy country arrived, her cousin's face became spirited. Even when the Xianbei emperor said this, the Gao brothers just stared, angry but not daring to speak.

Aunt Zheng was also very angry and wanted to stand up for the two of them, so she said to him, "The king said these things in front of the lover. Is he flirting with the queen?"

Yuwen Huaibi looked arrogant, and his cold and gloomy eyes glanced down at her without even looking at her.

Her red lips moved slightly, and she uttered a mocking sound: "I am reuniting with her old friend. If showing concern for her is considered flirting, then what is it that you flirt with her lover in front of her? Are you deliberately provoking me?"

"How can your majesty be angry with a little girl like me? Is it the bishop's?"

"If the Queen was not here, you wouldn't even be qualified to talk to me."

The Xianbei man's voice was not loud, but his words were deep and cold, and he was intimidating without even getting angry. He spoke in this way, and with just a few casual words, he made Zheng Guanqi speechless.

At the same time, it also made her break out in a cold sweat on her back.

There was no other reason. It was because the Xianbei emperor's last words were no different from an ultimatum. If she continued to take advantage of him, she would be committing a crime of rebellion.

After Yuwen Huaibi finished reprimanding Zheng Guanqi, he turned around and said softly to the girl, "You don't have to envy them for continuing their old relationship. After all, your old friend is in the Great Zhou. I have treated you as my own sister since you were young. If you don't mind, you can call me the fourth brother based on your rank."

At this moment, the room suddenly became quiet. Gao Changgong, who had been called "Fourth Brother" by everyone for half his life, was a little confused. Only then did he realize that the Xianbei emperor was coming for him.
But when Yuan Wuyou heard this, he had other thoughts.

Today the two of them had it all out. What happened was not the case, and they would not cross the line or offend each other again. I believe that the brother and sister have let it go.

So she nodded, then shook her head, "I dare not."

"Didn't you go first tonight and kill the general, counter-attacking the heavy troops of the Great Zhou who were besieging the city, and win a great victory? You should have been drinking a celebratory wine with the generals of Qi State, why did you come here and let a villain play tricks on you?"

King Zhou, who was wearing a jade mask, spoke with a cold voice and a calm tone, as if he was talking about someone else... except for the last sentence.

His deep blue phoenix eyes were only fixed on the female ruler who was sitting next to him, as if she was the only one in his eyes among the people present.

When Zheng Guanqi heard King Zhou say such words, he shook his head secretly, thinking that he had been taken down by the beauty trap again!

Yuan Wuyou felt a chill down his spine when he heard this. He stared at the Xianbei man with his amber eyes, trying to see irony or resentment in his eyes.

Unfortunately, there was only gloomy coldness and heartless coldness in his eyes.

She laughed awkwardly, "Are you blaming me or gloating over my misfortune?"

"Don't worry, I can afford to lose. Although Qi has captured Bowang, it is already a dead city. I'm afraid it will take several years to recover."

As he spoke, the Lord of Zhou, who had infiltrated the enemy-occupied area in plain clothes, said to Gao Changgong in a gentle tone:
"Prince Lanling may continue to talk to his old friend. Lady Runan will no longer be left out because I am here to accompany her."

Yuwen Huaibi knew that he was not good at dealing with family matters, but he was well versed in political schemes. It just so happened that she was not a person who indulged in male beauty, so his words of relief were just right.
