A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 999: Yan Zong Returns
——A few moments.

Inside the carriage, Prince Lanling still stayed by the side of the paralyzed queen who was lying on the sickbed.

When Wan Yuwu brought the bird eggs to her, his tone was still calm and casual. He said that he saw eggs in a bird's nest on the road and asked her if she wanted to eat them.

Hearing this, Gao Changgong was stunned. "Can't I afford to support her? Do I need you to go out to collect bird eggs and hunt?"

Perhaps it was because Lanling Wang had a loud voice, strong and resonant, that when the young man in the red shirt holding the bird's nest heard his words, his thin shoulders suddenly shrank as if he was frightened.

Those dark and bright phoenix eyes instantly revealed timidity and helplessness. "I have been a stray dog ​​since I was young. Before I met her, I had never had a full meal, and I had never seen the world. I only remember that when she was a child, she loved to eat the bird eggs I roasted. I... I am sorry to have embarrassed Lanling King..."

Hearing this kid reveal his own scars, although it may sound like a pity, it was true, and it matched what he knew about "Wan Yu Wu Yu". Gao Changgong felt so sad that he wanted to slap himself.

Before Gao Changgong could speak, Yuan Wuyou, who was leaning against the wall of the carriage, spoke up, frowning and saying:

"After all, Prince Lanling is a relative of the royal family of the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties. He grew up in luxury and probably has never experienced the ordinary life of country folk like us."

At this moment, the queen's heroic baby face was full of sarcasm, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, revealing her undisguised irony.

Her words were clearly meant to embarrass Gao Changgong. She knew his past best. As the only son of the Western Wei empress, she had a very noble status, and the other two men present also knew it very well.

When she mocked him, Gao Changgong finally realized how inappropriate his words to King Dangxiang were and how they had been misunderstood. He hurriedly shook his head and was at a loss for words to defend himself.

"No, that's not what I meant..."

But the girl in front of him was unwilling to listen to Gao Changgong's feeble explanation. Her brown eyes were firm, and her tone was gentle but forceful in interrupting him -

"When I was the crown prince in Chang'an, I ate all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. After I came to Huaxu, I also took things as they came and enjoyed myself with the people. Fortunately, no matter whether I was rich or poor, Wan Yu Wu Yu followed me loyally."

At this point, Yuan Wuyou looked at the young man and said with a smile, "I haven't had your roasted game for many years. I've been missing this."

"Yeah." The young man's deep blue eyes curved slightly, looking at her with a smile, and he did not forget to turn his head and say to Lanling King, who looked pale.

"If Prince Lanling doesn't mind, he can share the food with the young master."

"That's not necessary." Gao Changgong said subconsciously, and hurriedly shook his head to explain, "I just couldn't bear to snatch her food, I didn't mean anything else."

After saying this, Gao Changgong secretly thought that he was screwed. If he hadn't explained just now, the two of them would have thought that he despised this Dangxiang King because he was from the countryside and was vulgar. If he explained, it would be like he was trying to cover up something.

At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Stop the car!"

Then, someone lifted the car curtain and put his head in.

It was Gao Yanzong who was outside, riding a horse following the carriage.

Gao Yanzong, who was outside the carriage, heard almost all of the conversation and farce in the carriage just now.

Gao Yanzong could no longer bear the humiliation his brother suffered at the hands of that wolf boy, so he lifted the carriage curtain in a hurry and said, "King Dangxiang is deliberately instigating us!"

Yuan Wuyou, who was leaning against the wall of the carriage, was already having a headache dealing with two men. At this moment, he saw a head coming in after the door curtain was lifted. The man had peach blossom eyes and a baby face. He was handsome and charming. Yuan Wuyou was instantly shocked.

As soon as she saw Gao Yanzong, her hair stood on end! "Gao Yanzong! Why are you back?"

Immediately afterwards, because the carriage was stopped by Gao Yanzong, he was helped into the carriage by the guards outside. Gao Yanzong then dragged his long straight legs in, pushed Wan Yuwuyou, who was originally sitting at the outside of the carriage, in, and sat in his original seat himself.

As soon as Gao Yanzong sat down cross-legged, he avoided the girl's eyes on the sickbed and said in a muffled voice, "I know you don't want to see me, I will leave immediately and won't be an eyesore here. But..."

At this point, he glanced at the boy next to him, then looked at the girl in front of him, "He has to come with me too."

Yuan Wuyou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Didn't you go back to Ande? How come you can get up so quickly?"

As she spoke, she glanced over and her gaze turned a little colder when it fell on Gao Yanzong.

"Are you playing tricks on me again?"

The man in the red shirt shook his head, his peach blossom eyes narrowed, and his tone was dull: "I was indeed injured, and I couldn't stop bleeding... You know, the wound bled so much at that time, I almost died."

Although his tone was dejected and emotionless, it was much more believable than his usual smiling face.

Yuan Wuyou felt distressed, "Then why did you come here... Aren't you afraid of your wound being torn?"

Gao Yanzong's eyes were tilted upwards, and his brown peach blossom eyes were like hooks, catching Yuan Wuyou's gaze, but his tone was lazy and nonchalant:
"Don't worry, I can walk now. I was almost in Luoyang when I heard from the 800-li express that something happened to you and that my fourth brother wanted to take you back, so I came back overnight."

The Gao brothers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the queen did not show much disgust when meeting King Ande. Only the young King Dangxiang had a gloomy face, and his cold deep blue eyes became even deeper.

Gao Yanzong looked into his eyes, with the corners of his eyes raised, as if to challenge Wan Yuwuyu: See, she still has feelings for me!

When enemies meet, their eyes turn red. As soon as Wan Yuwuyu showed displeasure and fierceness in his eyes, Gao Yanzong said:

"Fortunately, I came back. Otherwise, this ungrateful Dangxiang King would have bullied my fourth brother and kidnapped my sister-in-law. How could my fourth brother be his opponent?"

Yuan Wuyou shook his head, "He is not that kind of ungrateful person, don't call him that. Your fourth brother doesn't hate him either." Gao Changgong snorted, "I don't agree with what you said. I can't stand ungrateful people who repay kindness with enmity, and traitors."

"Do you have such a big prejudice against him?"

Gao Yanzong tutted his mouth, "You know all about our grievances, so I won't bring up the past, but we have also heard about his behavior. A few days ago, the Dangxiang almost took over the Jingxiang area, and even your territory. What do you like about him?"

Gao Changgong explained: "You are the only one who trusts him in this world. Everyone else thinks he is an ungrateful person. And you don't trust his humanity, but the friendship you have had since childhood, right?"

"I do believe him."

Gao Yanzong shook his head. "He's not some innocent boy. He's been raped by all the female soldiers of the Xiao family. How clean can he be? If you give me other reasons to keep him, I can believe it. But if you say you have feelings for this bastard——"

"——Gao Yanzong!" Yuan Wuyou interrupted him angrily, gritting his teeth and pointing at him, "Will he die if you don't squeeze him?"

Gao Yanzong obviously didn't want to face Yuan Wuyou because he was afraid that his brother would suffer, but he still stayed and was vigilant to deal with Wan Yuwuyou.

Yuan Wuyou didn't dislike Gao Yanzong that much because of his injury, but now she found that this boy still instinctively helped his brother to squeeze Wan Yuwuyu. Obviously, Yuan Wuyou absolutely believed that if she went back with Gao Changgong, this boy would dare to help his brother force her if she didn't obey Gao Changgong.

If it were someone else, Yuan Wuyou would be moved by their brotherly love, or would tease them for their intention to betray their husband, but she would only feel the pain when the knife cuts herself. Now she hates Gao Yanzong for being willing to betray the morality of the whole world for her brother.

She couldn't help but think of the beginning. This male fox approached her with a purpose. The reason why she and Gao Yanzong became uncle-sister-in-law romance was also because Gao Yanzong was too protective of his brother. This male fox did not hesitate to sacrifice himself, sell his body, and instigate the two of them. He also seduced his sister-in-law to expose Yuan Wuyou's true nature.

Thinking of this, Yuan Wuyou felt more and more that she had been deceived! The look she gave Gao Yanzong became increasingly cold and resentful.

Gao Changgong sighed: "Actually, I envy him."

"Why envy him? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I envy him because even though he is despised by the world, he still has the people he loves the most who believe in him unconditionally. Even if he does something horrible, as long as he tells you about your childhood friendship with him, you will forgive him. Your family-like trust is what I have been pursuing but have not been able to obtain."

"I have no family. No one can make me act like a spoiled child. Even what I have been so persistent in wanting, to form a family with you and to have family-like trust with you, he has always had it. He doesn't need to fight for it. He has what I have always dreamed of."

At this moment, the beauty's face was gloomy and her eyes were lonely. Yuan Wuyou hated to see Gao Changgong like this, and her heart softened instantly. He was used to retreating to advance, and used sincere weakness to win her sympathy.

But Yuan Wuyou just fell for Gao Changgong's trick.

The sharp interrogative look she gave Gao Changgong softened in an instant. She even felt guilty.

"Chang Gong... don't think like that. You are different. You and I are husband and wife... we are family."

Upon hearing this, Wan Yuwu's eyes darkened instantly. He had realized that Prince Lanling was used to pretending to be simple and honest to win her sympathy. He said that he envied her, but in fact he was competing for her favor without making a sound.

It turns out that Lanling Wang, who boasts of being a "generous wife", would also be jealous? He even tricked her into saying such words to distance herself from him and get closer to him!
After being comforted by his wife, Gao Changgong's dark eyes slightly curved, "Hmm. You once said that you wanted me to marry you with a veil and go to Gaxian Cave with me to worship our ancestors...does it still count?"

"Calculate."

"Then let's go back to Lanling County to get married first, and then take me to Gaxian Cave to worship your ancestors, okay?"

Hearing this, the young Dangxiang King looked up in shock, and his deep blue eyes suddenly turned cold and fierce, glaring at Gao Changgong!
It turns out that King Lanling was waiting for her here?

Even before the wedding, Prince Lanling has revealed so many schemes of retreating in order to advance. If the two of them get married in Lanling, can the queen escape from his clutches?

Fortunately, I came with him today, otherwise Wan Yuwuyu would never have thought that Lanling Wang was as scheming as his brother!
Wan Yuwuyu realized instantly that he could not just sit there and wait for death. He had to do something to expose Lanling Wang's true nature or make her realize her dangerous situation!

At this time, Wan Yuwu Yu was holding the bird's nest in his arms and felt a little tired, so he said to the queen, "You haven't eaten yet? There is not enough room in this car for so many people." As he said that, he handed the bird's nest to Gao Yanzong next to him.

"Please, King Ande, help me take it down first. I will then ask Wuyou how he wants to eat it. Be careful not to break it."

Gao Yanzong subconsciously took the bird's nest, and was pricked by the dead branches used to build the nest. Then he realized something was wrong, and gritted his teeth and snorted,
"I can't even stand still, and you still want me to do things? Are you trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, right?"

Then he looked at Gao Changgong, "Fourth brother, it's time to apply medicine to the queen, right? Do you want to do it or should I?"

Gao Changgong was stunned for a moment, "Is it impossible to perform in the car?" He glanced at the boy next to him. "Then..."

Gao Yanzong took the opportunity to push the bird's nest back into the arms of the red-shirted young man and said with a smile, "Please ask King Dangxiang to leave. This carriage cannot accommodate so many people. Besides, changing her dressing will expose her injured skin, and it is not convenient for you to stay here."

Wan Yu Wu Yu hurriedly shook his head, "I'm going to go to the bathroom! I..."

He wanted to say that he had been with her since childhood, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't come up with any examples. After all, the two of them were very well-behaved in the past and had never crossed the line.

Then, Gao Yanzong's upturned peach blossom eyes suddenly squinted at the young Dangxiang King and said while the iron was hot:
"No military doctor here can be more skilled than me. You can go and ask if I was the one who applied the medicine to her. I don't need to say how close we are, right? And you are staying here. What identity do you want to use? Are you two secretly in contact and have had physical contact?"

At this time, the Gao brothers, one on the left and one on the right, looked at him in unison, staring at the young man so hard that his originally cold and white face flushed quietly, and his thick, black and long, curled eyelashes trembled and drooped.

"No...no."

Gao Yanzong was indeed a foxy man. He turned defeat into victory as soon as he opened his mouth, reversed the disadvantage, and rejected Wan Yuwu's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
