A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 955 Prince of Southern Chen
Until I heard a cock crow, and then someone rushed in from outside the palace door, shouting - "Young Master! It's time to go!"

Yuan Wuyou, who was about to do something bad while riding on the young Dangxiang King, suddenly remembered his important business.

She turned her head to look at Jialuo who was walking towards the door like a bloody god, then looked back at the young man in front of her with his clothes wide open and his long leg hooked around her waist.

There was a moment of stalemate.

Wan Yuwu, who was already infatuated with her, was at the juncture of transformation from a teenager to a mature man, so naturally he was unwilling to let her go.

The pair of dark and bright phoenix eyes suddenly regained some consciousness, and looked at her with dark eyes, while his arms tightly wrapped around her thin waist.

"Don't go! Yuan Wuyou... you can stop at this time, are you still a woman?"

This gritting of teeth provocation, coupled with the unusual flush on King Dangxiang's originally cold and handsome face, was more beneficial to replenishing qi and blood than anything else he had eaten.

Yuan Wuyou's throat tightened and his eyes darkened.

Seeing her hesitation, Jia Luo walked in and said, "Why is King Dangxiang here? I just saw his men carrying a bloody man out, and I thought it was him."

Hearing this, Yuan Wuyou narrowed her eyes slightly and turned back to look at Wan Yuwuyu. "Oh, so you used yourself to hold me back so that your subordinates could rescue your brother? I was wondering why you suddenly came to your senses."

Her tone was calm, with neither the disappointment and anger of being deceived nor the joy and relief of finding an excuse.

Wan Yu Wu Yu's eyes were solemn, "I am sincere."

Yuan Wuyou stood up from him, grabbed his throat and said coldly:
"King Dangxiang's beauty trap is very much to my taste, but unfortunately, your scheme is too obvious."

After saying that, Yuan Wuyou decisively took the white shirt and robe that she had thrown on the ground and put it back on Wan Yuwuyu, returning the item to its original owner to cover his entire body.

Yuan Wuyou abandoned Wan Yuwuyu, left him in the back hall filled with corpses, and went out with Jialuo.

On the way, she asked about Dujuan. Jialuo said that Dujuan had always been by her side and was waiting for her to say goodbye at the door before leaving.

Yuan Wuyou never doubted Jialuo's reliability.

Then Yuan Wuyou and Jialuo sent Dujuan out of the city gate first.

After last night's turmoil, the Qiang soldiers who were originally guarding the city gate had all disappeared. On the way, Yuan Wuyou was wondering if there was anyone to pick him up at Du Juan's place. After all, Southern Chen was quite far away from here, and the nearest place was Jiangling of Later Liang.

As a result, when they left the city, they saw dense lights not far away, and people were holding lanterns and torches.

After walking about a hundred steps, the three of them saw a group of Southern Chen soldiers wearing white clothes and armor, about a few hundred of them. Leading them was a thin young man wearing a tall crown and a purple robe with a cross collar.

Yuan Wuyou walked closer and saw that the young man was wearing a brass faceless mask. Instead of an official hat, he was wearing a high ponytail tied with a jade badge.

Instead, his chest is held high and his bearing is majestic.

Before he even got close, Du Juan ran over a few steps ahead and said happily: "Brother, you came at the right time! Last night, thanks to the Lord of Huaxu, he saved me several times..."

The purple-robed youth looked up at the sound, revealing a pair of fox-like deep purple eyes from behind his mask. He glanced sideways at the two girls who were three or five steps away from him, in the direction of his sister's finger.

One of them was dressed in black and had a handsome face, carrying two swords on his back, while the other had a long sword on his waist and looked serious.

Du Juan said, and turned around to introduce Yuan Wuyou: "He is my brother Chen Shubao. You——"

"——Are you the Lord of Huaxu? Thank you for your help."

Chen Shubao interrupted his sister and spoke first.

His voice was clear, and because he deliberately lowered it, it was as cold as water, but Yuan Wuyou felt that it sounded familiar, so he looked up. It was still dark, and the whole place was lit by lanterns and torches.

Through the light, even though he couldn't see clearly, Yuan Wuyou seemed to see the purple-robed young man opposite him with a pair of purple eyes.

She didn't think about it too much, she just felt that it was fate. When he was a hostage in Rang County, she never thought that he would have his father seize the throne and become the founding emperor, and she would become the crown prince.

He certainly didn't expect to return to Rang County, this sad place, and see that Rang County would become a place for evil spirits. But he must have felt very happy.

"So it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Southern Chen. After not seeing you for many years, you can actually stand on your own."

At this point, Yuan Wuyou bowed and said, "It's just a small favor, Princess and Prince, don't take it to heart."

Chen Shubao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that she didn't recognize him. However, Du Juan looked around at the two of them in astonishment, "What do you mean by many years? Aren't you two..."

Chen Shubao quickly raised a jade flute that was visible from his sleeve and held it horizontally in front of his sister, interrupting her:
"When I was young, I was imprisoned in the Western Wei Dynasty and was once a hostage in Rang County. I have also gone to Beijing to meet the crown prince of the Western Wei Dynasty. Now, after several years, your highness is still as brave as before. But one thing is one thing." After saying this, the purple-robed young man turned his head to look at his elder sister.

"Where are the Xiao family's children?"

At this time, Du Juan also understood. Her brother wanted to say that he didn't know her, so she spread her hands and said, "It's too late. He has been eaten." Then she took out a jade pendant from her pocket and said, "This is all I have left."

Hearing this, the purple-robed youth suddenly folded his arms, narrowed his fox-like eyes, and glanced at Yuan Wuyou.

"The people of Rang County were brutally murdered. If we look into the cause, the failure of Huaxu State's supervision must be to blame, right?"

Yuan Wuyou heard this, her shining brown eyes narrowed threateningly. She asked in a sarcastic tone:
"Your Highness, are you calling me to task?"

"I dare not. You are not the instigator, but you helped my third sister out of trouble, so I have to thank you. What does the king want?"

Yuan Wuyou shook his head, "No, just stop causing trouble."

Du Juan said with a sigh, "If you hadn't already married your cousin, I would have definitely asked you to marry me."

After hearing this, Yuan Wuyou looked at the Southern Chen prince in surprise:

"You're married? When did it happen? I haven't congratulated you or given you a gift yet."

Chen Shubao's pair of purple fox eyes suddenly turned cold and glared at Sister A-jie sharply, scaring Du Juan into shutting up. Then he turned back and said to Yuan Wuyou:
"What happened last year was a political marriage arranged by her parents to save her life. It's been too long, and they are not actually husband and wife, so the king doesn't need to give additional gifts."

Du Juan was stunned when she heard this. "How can you say such a thing? Who would believe you if you said you two were not familiar with each other?"

Yuan Wuyou felt quite embarrassed when she heard this. She had not expected that this young-looking Prince Chen, who was not even twenty years old, was already a married man. However, this also explained why he held his head high and looked so majestic and domineering.

She shook her head hastily, "Your Highness should not talk about such private matters in front of others. The gift must be made up, but I am in a hurry now, I will definitely send an envoy to the State of Chen another day."

Chen Shubao shook his head, his tone somewhat weak:

"Forget it this time. Next time I find someone I really want to marry, you can come again."

"Can a married couple have a next time?"

Afterwards, Chen Shubao was no longer in the mood to be polite. He bowed and said goodbye to Yuan Wuyou, then poked his sister's back with his jade flute and took her away.

As soon as Nan Chen's gang left, Yuan Wuyou turned around and walked towards the city with Jialuo, who had been silent the whole time.

So Yuan Wuyou fought side by side with Jialuo and together they slew the leaderless blood demon.
