A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 799: False Pregnancy
As dusk approached, the sky turned gloomy.

The man in the room was lying on his back in the bathtub with his eyes closed.

His powdered arms, which had been washed by warm water and hot steam, were resting on the edge of the tub, allowing one of his young subordinates to put wet cloth on his eyes.

As soon as Yuan Wuyou entered the room, he ignored the guards' attempt to stop him and went straight to the man in the bathtub.

Hearing the noise, the young soldier who was applying medicine to him immediately ran forward, bowed and saluted, while trying his best to block King Ande behind him.

"Please stay, my lady! His Highness is bathing!"

The visitor glanced at the man sideways with his eyes and didn't even look at him directly.

"Get out of the way! I have announced to the world that I am going to marry him. He already has my child. What part of his body would I want to see?"

After saying that, she pushed the boy away, dragged the man who slowly opened his eyes in the bathtub out, and threw him onto the couch next to her.

Yuan Wuyou came to Gao Yanzong to vent his anger.

The soft silk mattress was soaked by his body.

After Yuan Wuyou had kissed him enough, he pinched his jaw and asked:

"You are so well behaved, are you feeling guilty or something?"

Gao Yanzong let her ravage him in silence. Even when she hurt him, he only screamed.

She pushed him away and took out the original letter from her lapel.

"My Lord Shangshu, please explain. Even Gao Changgong was deceived by you. It turns out that you are only after profit!"

When Gao Yanzong saw the red stamp of the Emperor of Daqi on the letter, he could not argue with Zhiji, so he smiled sadly.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you. After all, knowing it won't change anything. This is an open conspiracy. I am using Feng Lingxin to expose me and offend you. And Feng Lingxin stole the secret letter, so he will definitely die."

"You're using the secret letter to make trouble? Why do you want to harm her? What hatred do you have against her?"

"Feng Lingxin was born in the Great Qi, but he ignored the laws and rules of the country, despised the imperial power, and turned his elbow outward. He deserves death."

At this point, Gao Yanzong opened his bloodshot eyes, raised his eyebrows proudly, and said with a gloomy face:
"If you still want to be the Queen of Runan, you must admit where this letter came from and kill her with your own hands."

These words woke Yuan Wuyou up.

She was so shocked that she didn't expect what kind of pressure Feng Lingxin was under in order to tell her the conspiracy in the letter, and what consequences she would face!
This silly girl is really... She just briefly mentioned the journey here and didn't say a word about what will happen after her death.

Yuan Wuyou gritted his teeth and said angrily,

"Are you setting a trap for her? I can forgive you, but do you think I can't save her?"

"Her loyalty to you means she will die for you. If you break up with Da Qi over this, not only will you fail to save Feng Lingxin, but you will also have to pack up and leave. Fourth brother is the most sensible person and will not betray his country for a woman - from the perspective of the country, he will only turn against you."

The man opened his red lips slightly, his eyes were cold, without any trace of the passion that had just been entangled in lips and tongue.

Yuan Wuyou suddenly felt sad for himself.

Gao Yanzong seemed ruthless, but in fact he was cold-blooded. He had said in the past when he was playing the victim and seducing that he was fake, but she was self-indulgent and thought he was insincere...

It turned out that he had always believed in himself in his selfish choices. Not only did he not include her in his plans, but even his fourth brother became a stepping stone on his career path.

Yuan Wuyou laughed at himself and glared at him with hatred in his eyes.

"Gao Yanzong, you slept with me so many times to achieve your goal. You are really willing to do that. Do you really not care?"

She asked knowingly, causing the man to sneer, raise his eyebrows, and look at everything with contempt.
"Are you asking this question to humiliate yourself? I slept with the virgin princess so many times, but I was the one who took advantage. In this kind of thing, men never suffer losses."

"Aren't you afraid of getting pregnant?"

"Thanks to that traitor in your family, I won't get pregnant."

Yuan Wuyou really wanted to get angry and scold him for being a wolf that could never be tamed, but she was very clear-headed and didn't want to humiliate herself again, do something that would degrade herself and make people laugh. So she just gently pushed Gao Yanzong away, threw his coat on his disheveled body, looked at him coldly, stepped back, and turned away.

Gao Yanzong was stunned by her cold eyes. He thought she would make a big fuss, or at least get back at him and humiliate him, but he was terrifyingly calm.

Seeing her turn and leave without saying a word, he became anxious!

"Where are you going? Is this a breakup or a farewell?"

Yuan Wuyou felt so happy when she heard him asking her the question in return. However, when she heard his question, her chest seemed to be blocked by a fire. She couldn't speak and just walked forward.

He didn't follow her until she left.

……

Yuan Wuyou had just walked out of the courtyard where Gao Yanzong lived when he met Feng Lingxin again at the entrance of the Moon Cave.

She was quite puzzled, "Why did you catch me?"

Sister Feng looked serious and said in embarrassment:
"Sister, I know you may not believe this, but it's too big a matter and I can't cover it up. You should know about it."

"Ah? What's the matter?"

Then Yuan Wuyou saw that with her were Yan Zhitui, Zu Ting, Gao Yuanhai and others whom she had met before.

What good can come from just these few people getting together?
As expected, Yan Zhitui, who came in exhausted, stretched out his hand from his sleeves and bowed to Yuan Wuyou, saying, "May I ask, my lady, is there any man who is pregnant near Mulan City?"

When Yuan Wuyou heard the word "Mulan City", he immediately became alert, "Why do you say that, sir?"

Yan Zhitui said confidently: "I heard that a few days ago, you dug up the two camellia trees outside Bowang City and found a male corpse buried underneath. Not only was there a poison that could cause false pregnancy, but there was actually a pregnancy."

The queen fell silent immediately, and looked at the people in front of her with her sharp eyes.

Zu Ting, who was covered with a white cloth, was also surprised when he heard this, so he tried to cover it up: "No, it's not true."

Yan Zhitui said seriously, "I am not exaggerating, but on the way here, I heard from someone who knows the situation that the child in the belly of the man dead under the tree is suspected to be the child of Grandmother Zheng or... the female prime minister in Yecheng."

When Yuan Wuyou saw a few men gossiping about male pregnancy, she turned around silently and was about to leave, but was stopped by Sister Feng, who had come around behind her at some point.

The next moment, a person suddenly jumped out from behind Yan Zhitui and others!
Afterwards, Yuan Wuyou was forced to kneel in front of a male soldier in crimson military uniform, blocking his way.

The soldier lowered his head, his shoulders hunched, but he wailed at the top of his voice: "Prince Ande faked a pregnancy to deceive the king, and Prince Lanling was unaware of it! Please don't vent your anger on Prince Lanling..."

"What?" Yuan Wuyou was stunned for a moment, then shouted angrily,
"How dare you slander King Ande? Whose subordinate are you? Who sent you to sow discord and spread rumors?"

Although Gao Yanzong faked pregnancy to win favor many times, she adhered to the principle of rather killing someone by mistake than missing the opportunity, and believed him every time, and this time was no exception.

Now that someone suddenly popped up to "expose" her, she immediately suspected that someone was doing something bad to the Gao brothers.

The male soldier in front of him was terrified, and when he raised his head again, his eye sockets were wet. "I am... a subordinate of King Ande!"

Yuan Wuyou sneered, "He's lying. How could his subordinates betray him?" She raised her hand and pointed at the people watching the fun nearby, "Who bribed him to spread rumors about Gao Yanzong?"

When she said this, her last look fell on Sister Feng beside her. Yuan Wuyou didn't doubt that she had second thoughts about him, but the male soldier in front of him acted out of line, much like Sister Feng.

Several people who were suspected by the queen kept waving their hands and speaking out to clarify and prove themselves.

Only the male soldier kneeling in front of her was eager to explain:

"I did come to King Ande later. Does your Majesty still remember? In Mulan City, Zhen Wenrou and I...were both guards assigned by King Lanling to King Ande."

Yuan Wuyou was staring at his face, thinking, trying to recall whether she had seen this man before. But what the male soldier said afterwards made her tremble with anger.

"I didn't want to be King Ande's accomplice, but he claimed that he wanted to help King Lanling expose your true nature, so he was with you..."

"It was not until these two days that I learned that he was using Lanling King that I could no longer tolerate it! Not only did he steal my brother's woman, he also wanted to steal his official position! Isn't this fratricide?"
