A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Yuan Wuyou took the familiar bag and opened it, revealing the jade seal that was taken away by Gao Yanzong last night.

She immediately looked at Gao Changgong in shock,

"So he asked you to give me the jade seal? He hasn't told you that there is a jade seal in it?"

Gao Yanzong, who was dying on the bed, saw his eyelashes opening and closing, pulling the corners of his crusted lips, and smiled happily at the two of them:

"I didn't...die in vain..."

Yuan Wuyou's eyes immediately became wet and he almost cried.

Only then did Gao Changgong realize, "So you really would rather die for Yu Xi?" He gritted his teeth and said,

"What a good brother, you actually hid such a big thing from your brother! You asked me to hand over the jade seal to her without telling me what it was. Are you afraid that I will leak the secret or that I will keep it for myself?"

Seeing Gao Yanzong struggling to even blink, she was afraid that he would close his eyes the next second and fall asleep forever.

Yuan Wuyou looked at Gao Yanzong's unconscious state and hurriedly scolded Gao Changgong, "Okay, don't lecture him yet. Go and see if the medicine for him is ready."

Gao Changgong gritted his teeth, pursed his lips, and looked at her stubbornly. "Okay, take care of him."

After saying that, he glanced at his brother on the bed with distressed eyes, then turned and left.

Only Yuan Wuyou and Gao Yanzong were left in the tent.

She felt so distressed that she twitched when she thought that he would rather die than tell the whereabouts of the jade seal, even hiding it from his fourth brother, but asking Gao Changgong to return the jade seal to her.

Even though he resisted, she still stretched out her trembling fingers and held the man's pale face.

"Ah Chong, you are so stupid! In my eyes, you are much more important than Yuxi. Don't waste your life again in the future!"

Gao Yanzong struggled to open his fine long eyelashes, and stared at Yuan Wuyou with his confused brown eyes. He was so angry that his voice was almost inaudible:

"I have lived enough...no one...wants me to live..."

Yuan Wuyou shook his head and coaxed softly,

"Ah Chong, don't talk nonsense. I just hope you are alive. Now that you are home, you can go to sleep first. Everything has passed. When you wake up, we will be the same as when we first met. We are a family."

The man touched his bloody and slightly scabbed lips, his eyes filled with tears.

"I don't want... I don't want a sister-in-law... I have no family..."

Yuan Wuyou was about to retort, but found that Gao Yanzong was already confused. He said in a soft voice with tears in his eyes:

"Why...I have always been dirty...you come to bully me..."

At this moment, Yuan Wuyou's compassion for him reached its peak.

She also felt the same and wanted to ask, why was Gao Yanzong so miserable? He came from a miserable background, experienced terrible experiences when he was a child, and had a reputation for being romantic when he grew up. He only had a good brother, but he had to fight against his sister-in-law and brother. In the end, he experienced the backstabbing of the master of Qi, the calculation of Zhou, and the insult of Xiao Se. Like a pearl rolling down a swamp, covered in mud.

But all she could do was stay with him and comfort him.

When Yuan Wuyou wanted to talk to him again, he found that he had already closed his eyes.

She was so frightened that she felt cold from the top of her head to the soles of her feet! She leaned close to Gao Yanzong's face, and tremblingly stretched out her hand to feel his breath. She found that his breath was still warm, and her hanging heart fell to the ground.

The jade seal is indeed not a good thing. Not only are the people fighting for it bloody, but even those who come into contact with it will experience the disaster of life and death.

Gao Yanzong, who was sleeping, didn't know how many medicinal baths and cleanings he had gone through after returning home. Not many people had seen his body, only his brother and sister-in-law.

***

At night, in the quiet tent, Gao Yanzong was lying on the bed. He had changed into a thin white shirt. Suddenly his eyelashes fluttered slightly. He felt his mouth dry and he uttered a hoarse and thin voice:

"Water..." The next moment, someone picked him up from the bed and put him in his arms, letting him drink water against his soft and warm chest.

His scabbed lips were pressed against the rim of the cup. As the water flowed in, the chapped lips were slightly moisturized and regained some of their tender light red color.

Before he could take a few sips, he choked and coughed. The girl beside him patted his back and chest to help him breathe easier, and said softly:

"Are you drinking too quickly? Take your time."

Gao Yanzong lifted his long eyelashes and slowly opened his eyes, naturally seeing Yuan Wuyou's face.

She opened her amber eyes wide and asked him with a smile,

"Are you hungry? Do you want some porridge? This is your military tent, and I will guard you."

Gao Yanzong moved uncomfortably, feeling pain all over his body. When he lowered his head, he saw that he was wearing clean white clothes, but a gaping wound was exposed from the collar.

He instantly remembered the time when he was covered in locusts. His whole body felt numb and his eyes showed fear. Gao Yanzong bit the corner of his lower lip and looked at her in fear.

"Did you... check the wound for me?"

"And your fourth brother. I'm in charge of external injuries, and he...checks your internal injuries and changes your clothes."

Gao Yanzong struggled to pull the corners of his mouth into a wry smile.

"I heard that leech can live in the human body. You are so close to me. Aren't you afraid of being infected by me?"

It had been so long since Gao Yanzong woke up that Yuan Wuyou didn't dare to mention his pain, but he actually mentioned it himself.

"What did you say? When I treated you, I must have cleaned you up inside and out." After a pause, she narrowed her amber eyes and whispered in his ear:

"Don't worry, that thing didn't get into you. It was your fourth brother who said it."

Hearing this, the man frowned slightly, his brown pupils looked at her intently, his somewhat damaged lips pursed stubbornly, and he hissed in pain from the injury.

Their eyes met, Gao Yanzong weakly pushed her away and said hoarsely:

"Don't get so close to me. I'm afraid I'll vomit out a belly full of locusts at some point. I'll feel dirty..."

She suddenly tightened her arms around his waist and stared into his eyes. His eyes were firm yet gentle.

"Ah Chong, stop making trouble. I know best what kind of health you are in. You just need to take good care of yourself."

Gao Yanzong stretched out his hand with difficulty to touch her face. Hardly said:

"Yuan Wuyou...I can't be saved...I'm just a walking corpse. I will be unbearable for the rest of my life..."

The man's long eyelashes fluttered and trembled, and his peach blossom eyes were moist and hazy. Yuan Wuyou could only stare at the fragile and pitiful face in his arms, and couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Silly A Chong, who said you can't bear it? You are the best brother Yanzong. You stood up for your brother and endured the humiliation. I admire you very much. Live with me. I need you to accompany me."

What she said now was just like that night when the camellia in her arms said it needed her to think about it.

Gao Yanzong was slightly startled when he heard this, and then chuckled slightly.

Seeing that he didn't speak anymore, Yuan Wuyou struck while the iron was hot and coaxed in a soft voice: "Take care of yourself, brother A Chong. I hope you can come back to me. No one can affect the relationship between us."
