A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 936: The Last Letter of My Late Husband
There was dead silence in the central military tent.

After she left, Gao Changgong, who was sitting on the bed, closed his messy collar and glanced at the general's table not far away.

On the table, the ink ground in the inkstone was clearly displayed.

Gao Changgong put on his clothes, stood up and ran towards him.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and put down the ink grinder immediately when he heard the noise outside, found the ointment, unbuttoned his clothes and pretended to apply the ointment.

Fortunately, Yuan Wuyou's attention was on him and she didn't notice that he had ground the ink. Otherwise, if she asked, it would be difficult for him to explain.

Thinking about what happened just now, Gao Changgong still felt a lingering fear.

He actually wavered at the critical moment of giving up on her. He actually really wanted to have sex with her without a matchmaker, even if it was only once, even if it was unknown to others, even if it was destined to be fruitless.

With mixed feelings, Gao Changgong sat behind the desk with his back straight. Fortunately, the ink had not yet dried.

He took out a wolf hair brush, dipped it in the half-dry ink on the inkstone, and held the brush with his strong and slender fingers. Before putting pen to paper, Gao Changgong pondered over the words in his heart for a long time, but they were still difficult to express on the paper.

What should he call her? My wife Xuannv? From the Lord of Huaxu? Or...his fiancée?

But when Gao Changgong made up his mind and put pen to paper, it was destined that all the love and hatred between the two would be wiped out.

Gao Changgong actually imitated Gao Yanzong and became a person who said one thing and did another, and did something like seducing and then abandoning his lover.

He had long known about the plans that Qi had asked Gao Yanzong to make in order to control the Lord of Huaxu for his own use. Today, Qi wanted their brothers to trap the Queen of Runan, while on the other hand, it announced to the outside world that the Lord of Huaxu had formed an alliance with the Great Qi and took the opportunity to seize Xinye in her name.

If something happens to Gao Changgong and her later, I'm afraid that in the red tent of the army here, he has defiled the girl's body, and the soldiers of the Da Qi have already seized the girl's territory.

Now that Gao Changgong knew the truth, he couldn't bear to see her lose both her life and her wealth, so he had already secretly decided to take the blame on himself. He wanted to pretend to sever ties with her when he followed the Qi army to attack Xinye tonight, and then drive her away and commit suicide.

But he didn't want to die in confusion, he still had something to say to her, so he planned for the whole morning to write a suicide note to Yuan Wuyou without telling anyone.

The candlelight on the table was tiny, illuminating the handsome face of the man holding the pen. He was as steady as Mount Tai, unmoving, yet if he moved, the earth would crack and the sky would collapse.

Under the lamp, the silhouette of Gao Changgong's face was projected onto the paper. His slender and strong hands wrote slowly and hesitantly.

The running script on the paper is vigorous and powerful, but it begins with "Lord of Huaxu":
Gao Changgong came for profit, and wanted to fight with the empress for cities and land. He went to Jingxiang to sever his ties with her, and no matter who won or lost, he would become the enemy of Yuan clan from now on.

Ever since the battle in Hexi, Lanling had been filled with hatred for the broken engagement and had been trying to take revenge, but unfortunately, his luck was bad and he failed.

You have a future ahead of you, and the prosperous times have not yet begun. There are three thousand miles of weak water waiting to be taken. Don't act like a foolish ruler again, and be trapped by the enemy's spies and the Shandong reckless man.

Having said this, Gao Changgong did not dare to sign his name.

His fingers were shaking and he couldn't write anymore.

Her dark phoenix eyes were moist. Before he could hurt her, he had a heart attack and was unable to breathe.

Gao Changgong simply put the letter aside, took out another piece of letter paper, and wrote on it with deep affection:

——Personally written by my wife Xuannv.

Now that the war between Qi and Zhou has settled down a little, I know that my wife is carrying the heavy burden for Chang Gong. The Dangxiang Bai Lan has caused my wife a lot of trouble. It is not easy for my wife to guard the land of Jingxiang alone. Other countries are eyeing it covetously. The Great Qi has also instigated Chang Gong to seize my wife's private property.

My wife is too sentimental, and Chang Gong is always obedient. I am afraid that my wife will return and sacrifice the country for the sake of husband and wife reunion, so I wrote this letter. When my wife reads the letter, she will be annoyed that Chang Gong left without saying goodbye. However, my wife can always trust Gao Chang Gong. As a husband, I will never trap my wife or take her city. I would rather die, break her weakness, and help her ascend to the throne.

Unfortunately, by that time, your husband might have already been buried in the underworld, and would not be able to see the empress unify the country and restore the Han Dynasty.

Chang Gong is not a talkative person, but when he sees you, he always has endless things to say. Thinking about this letter, perhaps it is the last time I talk to you, I have thousands of words to express in a hurry to write.

Looking back, it seems like it was a previous life.

When we first met in Chang'an, even though the Emperor of Wei personally issued an order to get us engaged, I never thought that a girl half a year younger than me would be my wife.

Later, at Longmen in Luoyang, outside Jinyong City, you showed your talent as a general at a young age. Although I won by a narrow margin, it was a miserable defeat. I knew that if you grew up, you would definitely be an equally powerful opponent.

Since the day of Mulan's reunion, Xuannu has been sent down from heaven to protect Changgong. We have been together day and night and fighting side by side. Now that I know that you are the same person as you are today, I, as your husband, wish I could wrap myself in a veil, and send myself to your arms with three letters, six ceremonies, and a sedan chair in one day.

Gao Changgong lost both his parents and was left alone. It was a great honor for him to meet my wife. Changgong had hoped to marry her and start a family together. Now that the great powers are competing for supremacy and the borders are in turmoil, Changgong, who carries the blood of the Gao family and is named Lanling King, was born to defend his country and share the honor and disgrace with Daqi and the Gao family, and to be with them through life and death.

I have already used up three pages of paper to write this. I wonder if my wife will complain that Chang Gong is too long-winded when she sees this? The paper is short but the feelings are deep. Unfortunately, there is not much time left, so Chang Gong can only be brief and concise.

My wife, your life has just begun. Chang'an is prosperous and heroes are rising up in the world. You should return to your hometown to fight in a foreign land, and don't miss the foolish and reckless man in the afterlife.

My wife, you were born as an orphan of the Northern Wei Dynasty and a descendant of the Han Dynasty. As your husband, I know that you are unwilling to live in peace in a corner as the ruler of Huaxu State, nor are you willing to be under the rule of others for a long time as the King of Fengling. After Chang Gong leaves, you should carry on my will, have no weaknesses, and be invincible.

If Chang Gong has any last wishes, it is that he has not exchanged the three letters and six formalities with you, and has not personally called you husband and wife, but that does not matter. I only hope that you will meet a soulmate in the future, and give him the status of a first wife, so as to complete the unfinished ceremony between you and me. Chang Gong will definitely bless you two, and live together until old age.

Don't worry about it. I hope my wife will burn the letter after reading it, so as not to leave any bad luck behind.

——My late husband Gao Changgong wrote his last words at Bowangpo.

——After leaving the Qi camp, Yuan Wuyou happily went to Bowang City to buy herbs, but was stopped outside the camp by Wei Xiangyuan.

Wei Xiangyuan didn't dare let her get close to the camp, so he mysteriously pulled Yuan Wuyou to a deserted place and whispered:

"You should leave quickly. Lanling Wang has already led his troops out. He asked me to stay and give you this letter."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of blue letters from his sleeve.

Yuan Wuyou took it in his hand. It felt quite thick. He looked suspicious and asked, "What did he do?"

As she spoke, she lowered her head to open the letter. She pulled out a piece of letter paper and opened it. The first sentence was "From the Lord of Huaxu".

Yuan Wuyou's heart skipped a beat, and she glanced down and saw the signature "late husband Gao Changgong" at the end of the letter! Yuan Wuyou was so angry that her lungs almost exploded!
"What is this? How could he curse himself like that? What on earth has he been doing?"

Wei Xiangyuan, who was standing by, scratched his head and said, "Well, he was ordered to attack Xinye."

"what?!"

Yuan Wuyou even suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

At this moment, she saw a row of cavalry suddenly rushing out from behind Wei Xiangyuan, followed by the Qi army in the camp.

Yuan Wuyou didn't bother to read the letter carefully, so he folded the letter paper, stuffed it back into the thick stack of letters, and placed it under the breastplate of his Ming Guang armor. Then he turned his horse around angrily and went back to Xinye.
