A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 984 Do You Understand Love?
As he spoke, Yuan Wuyou glanced at his golden mask.

"Uncle is an elder, and he is interfering in the private affairs of the younger generation. Isn't that crossing the line? If you are bored, go find me an aunt, so that outsiders won't speculate that you are not interested in women and are not interested in men."

Yuan Zizhu Feng's eyes darkened, and a sharp light suddenly shot out from under the golden mask: "You girl, you are too naughty, you really have no respect for your elders."

Yuan Wuyou was not polite and retorted:

"You are still disrespectful to your elders."

"Hmm? When did I ever act disrespectfully in front of you? Explain yourself clearly."

"Okay, blame me for my inappropriate words, okay? Uncle, if you have nothing else to do, please go back. I still have things to do."

Seeing his niece's calm and perfunctory expression, which really showed that she was flexible, the uncle couldn't help but snorted coldly while gnashing his teeth:
"Hmph, I don't want to talk about you. This place is a disputed area between Jingchu and Dangxiang, and it borders Jiangling. There are also treacherous people in Zhou who want to harm you. You must be careful in everything."

"I see. Thanks for the reminder, uncle."

"Also... would you feel bad knowing that the young emperor dotes on Concubine She? What is your attitude towards the young emperor?"

Yuan Wuyou spread his hands and said, "What kind of attitude can I have? My lovers are all virgins, unmarried, and have clean reputations. Why should I care about that married man?"

Even if the two are good friends of the opposite sex, her straightforward and frank remarks, putting "virgin boy" first, will make the man embarrassed.

Not to mention male elders.

Even though Yuan Zizhu was used to being weird, he realized that his niece really didn't treat him as an outsider, an elder, or even a man.

Yuan Zizhu just ignored it and said the most important thing:
"That's good. I heard that Concubine She has a grudge against you, and the Emperor wants to capture you alive. I'm worried, so I came here to remind you to be careful."

"Okay, thank you for the reminder, uncle."

"Really...you're not going back with me?"

"No, I'm afraid of falling into a trap." As he said that, Yuan Wuyou raised his hand and pointed to the road ahead. In the east, a ray of warm white sunlight rose from the ground, gently lifting the blue-gray sky.

"Uncle, look, it's daybreak. I should get going."

"..." Yuan Zizhu had nothing more to say and could only wave her hand to ask the men behind her who were blocking the road to give way to her.

So the girl in the Ming Guang armor got on her own black horse.

She shook her ponytail tied high on her head, sat on the horse with her back straight, pulled the reins skillfully, and shouted "Gee!" softly, urging the horse to walk past her uncle who was on the ground.

Yuan Zizhu's gaze followed her all the time, looking at the heroic figure of the girl in armor, until the woman and the horse completely disappeared from his sight.

His niece is so capable. The situation among the three countries has been so serious recently, but as long as she joins the battlefield and gets involved, there is nothing she can't solve.

The nobles of various countries and various forces were eyeing her, the orphan of the Emperor of Wei, covetously, but were also wary and cautious. The Gao brothers of Northern Qi, the puppet emperor of the Great Zhou, and now the King of Dangxiang... each of them was an ambitious and stirring up trouble, and they all acted on their own and had deep hatred.

Although Yuan Wuyou was in the midst of a storm, she was always able to calm down the water and fire, and she was always able to deal with it calmly. Even Yuan Zizhu felt that even if the situation got out of control, and one side broke the balance of power and the world was in chaos, she would be able to turn the tide and save the collapsing building.

Even though Yuan Zizhu always treated her with concern as an elder and felt that his niece was still a spoiled and fragile child, he also knew that she had long been able to stand on her own and provide support for those around her.

As long as she stood there, even Yuan Zizhu's heart was at peace.

If the situation gets out of control, she will be everyone's retreat. Even if a wolf-ambitious hero is defeated and waiting to die, she will protect him and he will not die.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zizhu felt mixed emotions. Her ability and ruthlessness were a double-edged sword, as the saying goes, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and a person who is superior to others will be criticized. She would sooner or later attract resentment for showing off her power.

If she didn't reach the top of the road, she might as well not get out of it. -- On the other side, Wan Yuwuyu deliberately slowed down his horse on the way to Xiangyang, and looked back from time to time to see if there was Yuan Wuyou.

He was afraid that she couldn't catch up with him, that she took the wrong road, and even more afraid that she wouldn't come.

Halfway through the walk, he suddenly saw a group of people standing next to the post station on the official road in front of him. When he got closer, he saw that the leader was the prefect of Xiangyang.

Wan Yuwuyu decisively turned over and dismounted, bowing to him:
"Why is the governor here? She asked me to deliver a letter to you."

Both of them knew who "she" was referring to. This intimate and natural way of addressing her made it seem like they were very familiar with her, and the two of them seemed like old friends.

"There was a lot of noise last night. I guessed that the queen would come to Xiangyang, so I waited for her last night."

As he spoke, the Xiangyang governor also bowed back to the young King of Dangxiang.

Wan Yu Wu Yu took out the letter from his breastplate and handed it to him, saying, "I definitely didn't read it."

The prefect of Xiangyang read it immediately, frowned, and put the letter away without saying anything.

Seeing that the young Dang Xiang Wang was hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to ask something, he suddenly said: "Child, do you understand the love between men and women? Have you ever been loved?"

Although I don’t know why the Xiangyang prefect asked this, it is definitely related to what was written in the letter.

Wan Yu Wu Yu did not ask, but said firmly:
"Of course, I love only her."

"Sexual pleasure is not love, hugging and kissing is not love, dating and making out, sleeping in the same bed is not love... Even if a couple sits together day and night and treats each other as equals, it is not love."

"Then what is love?"

The Xiangyang governor sighed, wanting to say something but stopping himself. It's not that he had nothing to say, on the contrary, he had a lot to say, but he felt it was unnecessary to say so much to the two children.

Love is someone who sees your worst side and still loves you. Love is someone who holds your hand and calms you down when you are heartbroken and crying. Love is someone who praises all the good qualities in you when you only see the negative side of yourself. Love is someone who makes you laugh when you are sad. Love is someone who is behind you and still loyal to you. Love is someone who can still hear you when you are quiet...

But the relationship between these two children obviously did not reach the level of "true love".

"You are still young, don't talk about true love. But you are so young, and you have experienced so much. No one is optimistic about you, including me, but I am optimistic about my young master. I treat her as my daughter, I believe in her, and please respect all her decisions."

Wan Yu Wu Yu nodded as if he understood, his deep blue eyes suddenly turned deep, and he said solemnly: "I will listen to her."

The Xiangyang prefect clenched the letter in his hand and sighed.

In the letter, the queen naturally mentioned her considerations on the future strategy of Jingxiang, and emphasized that troops must be sent to Mulan City. That place is equivalent to Huaxu's Black Water City, which is the gateway to Jingxiang's power! In the future, no matter who shoots an arrow at Mulan City first, it will affect the whole body.

Then, in the letter, she even planned the way out for Huaxu and Dangxiang.

But what upset the Xiangyang governor was that the young king actually claimed that she was in love with the Dangxiang King and had regarded him as a relative since childhood. She believed that he was loyal and reliable to her "love" and that if she could not come back, she could let him act on her behalf to supervise Huaxu.

Upon seeing this, the prefect of Xiangyang immediately suspected that the letter was forged by King Dangxiang, and that he clearly wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power and usurp the throne!

Governor Yu was just about to scold him for rebelling. He was not even trying to pretend his evil ambitions?

Then I saw the red stamp at the bottom.

The young prince actually used Longquan ink to stamp a few red seals with the words "Feng Ji Xiao" and "Hua Xu Chu Jun" at the end of the letter.
