A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 813 Asking Mother at the Grave
"——My father died, my mother no longer considers me her daughter, my master and disciple broke up, those who protected me killed me, and those who flattered me hated me. Is this the path that you, a mother, paved for your daughter? I should thank you, right?"

In the gloomy cemetery, there were only the mother and daughter. Yuan Wuyou knew that the mother queen in front of her was an illusion, and she grabbed the driftwood like a drowning person.

Facing her daughter's scolding and rebuke at the top of her voice, the deceased mother Yuan Mingjing, wearing a cloak, only showed her eyes.

Yuan Mingjing's voice was heavy and vicissitudes, and his tone was calm:
"Only when you lose all the people you love and fight to the death, can you be decisive and make choices. So what about you? Will you let the world suffer as you do? Or will you learn to weigh the pros and cons, give up some people and love the world?"

"Why... do this to me?"

Yuan Wuyou was filled with despair at that time, as if something had collapsed.

"I could have been master and apprentice with Bai Heyin, and father and daughter, but you forced him to kill his apprentice, and forced me to betray my master and ancestors! I could have saved Wan Yuwu's life, but you made him wander in a foreign country with a bad name. Yuwen Huaibi and I could have been legitimate! Why did you take away everything from me? I'm living a good life, isn't that good enough?"

"Because people's relationships are very fragile and cannot withstand even a little setback. If you can't even accept this little setback and can't mend your ways, then even without my encouragement, they will abandon you sooner or later."

At this point, Yuan Mingjing suddenly smiled slyly, "If it was someone closest to you who did it, at least you wouldn't be so grief-stricken."

"The closest person? You mean..." Yuan Wuyou instantly thought of the incident three years ago when Bai Heyin gave her cinnabar.

When everything was laid out in front of her, Yuan Wuyou was so angry at her own miserable appearance that she laughed.

She was deserted by her friends and relatives, and her world began to fall apart from the night her mother passed away.

The imaginary Western Wei Empress in front of her, her mother, was still talking to herself:

"Besides, if you were just an ordinary person, you could live in peace and be a carefree lady, but you are the only child of the female Khan! You are born with the responsibility of governing the country and keeping the people safe. If you want to be an ordinary woman, you won't have the chance to meet them, but if you become the ruler of a country, you can take them all into your pocket."

Hearing this, Yuan Wuyou couldn't help but roar out loud!

"But they won't!" When she spoke again, her voice was filled with tears and despair.

"They have no chance... Everything is going in the worst direction! It's falling apart, and the dead can't come back..."

Ever since Yuan Wuyou came of age and embarked on the road of independence, she has been losing things and witnessing life and death.

The path to reviving the Han Dynasty becomes increasingly blurred. The closer she gets to the court and the more she looks like an emperor, the more she sees the rise and fall of dynasties. The less hopeful she feels, just as everyone will eventually die.

After all the running around it's still all in vain.

When Yuan Wuyou woke up again, he was already lying in the main room of the inn.

There was a young man in black sitting beside her bed, holding her hand without regard for propriety.

Her fingers suddenly twitched, and the boy quickly looked down, just in time to see her long eyelashes trembling and her confused amber eyes opening.

Looking closely, it was indeed Li Mingjian.

Yuan Wuyou was stunned: "Are you...really?"

Her voice became hoarse as she spoke.

Li Ming saw Zhang's cold and intimidating face, and calmly put her hand back to her side, frowning at her.

"Just after we walked out of the cemetery, you fainted. I thought you were injured, but later I found out that you were poisoned by poppy."

Yuan Wuyou coughed lightly, feeling a little guilty. She really was poisoned by "Yu Meiren" in her dream.

He immediately reacted, "Why are you back? Bell and the others..."

"They are guarding the door for you. The envoys from Zhou have been waiting there an hour ago." After a pause, the young man changed the subject and glanced at her.

"Don't you want to see me? Are you afraid that I will take your throne?" Hearing that they were still alive, Yuan Wuyou breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily you are here." As she spoke, she took the hand closer to Li Mingjian and patted the back of his hand.

"You will not."

"Humph. What makes you so sure I can't?"

The sister who was lazily lying on the bed heard this, rubbed her pillow casually, then looked up and smiled at him:

"Based on what I know about you."

The black-clothed young man's eyes were gloomy. "Don't pretend to know me so well. We haven't known each other for a few months."

"It's been many years." Yuan Wuyou suddenly remembered that the poisonous ghost bit his shoulder three years ago, so he reached out and poked his thin shoulder and arm.

"Is the wound on your shoulder healed? Can I take a look?"

Li Ming was startled and raised his hand to cover his shoulder. His eyes suddenly became gloomy. "It's not easy to heal a missing piece of flesh. Besides, I am a Miao doctor. Do I need you to treat me?"

He remembered the wound on her shoulder and thought she had recognized it and was hinting at him on purpose, and he immediately felt very embarrassed.

Little did she know that she was thinking about the wound he suffered from being bitten by a poisonous ghost.

Yuan Wuyou thought about it and felt that it made sense. But he didn't say why he came back, so she didn't ask again.

It was already noon. Yuan Wuyou woke up feeling refreshed, but his stomach was growling with hunger. At that time, he had his brother, the military strategist, by his side, and Bell and his wife as guards. With Mulan City as the gateway and Jingxiang as the backing, he felt at ease even in his dreams.

As soon as she came out of the inner room, she saw a group of Zhou people sitting in the hall.

The leaders were Prince Consort Yu and Prince Consort Su. They started by welcoming the return of "Prince Fengling".

The most out of place among them was Mi Qinlin, who was wearing silver armor, had an untidy beard and red eyes.

As soon as the boy saw her, he rushed over and shouted, "My Lord! You have to make a decision for our Khan!"

Yuan Wuyou was stunned, "Why are you back?"

Mi Qinlin turned around angrily and pointed at the two princes-in-law: "Ask them!"

Prince Consort Yu touched his nose and said awkwardly, "Our words are useless."

The queen narrowed her eyes and asked, "What's going on?"

Prince Consort Su didn't care about that. He said in a relaxed tone, "The Yuwen family was afraid that the Dangxiang Khan would run away, so they drove his personal guard out."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Wuyou became angry, "Assholes! Are they trying to murder him? I'm going to settle accounts with them right now!"

Prince Consort Yu quickly stood up and walked forward to stop him.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Don't worry, Lord Anhua is there to protect his brothers. It's not a big deal. But Your Majesty did send us here for something serious. This matter is too urgent, so only you can handle it."

Yuan Wuyou looked suspicious, "What's the matter?"

It turned out that the State of Zhou heard that the State of Chen intended to marry a relative of the royal family of the State of Qi, so it could no longer sit still.

Thinking that it was Prince Fengling who exposed the secrets between Liang and Chen, the State of Zhou had broken off relations with the Later Liang and Southern Chen in order to welcome back Prince Fengling, and Prince Fengling had also broken off relations with the State of Qi.

Therefore, at the moment, it is most appropriate to send King Fengling to Bowang City, which is occupied by Qi and has been difficult to conquer for a long time, to deliver gifts. This will most likely make both Chen and Qi unhappy, and it can also be used to find out the truth.
