A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 482 Come Here to Have a Party
Bowang City Posthouse.

In the wing room, the little Empress Huaxu, who was sleeping on the bed, changed into pure white pajamas and her seriously injured left arm was bandaged tightly.

At this moment, her right hand was held in the palm of the man sitting at the right head of the bed. Gao Yanzong took off his silver armor and stood by her side with only his braided hair and crimson military uniform. He stared at her face which had regained some color, without saying a word.

The wooden bed the empress was lying on was quite large, big enough for two people to sleep on. On her right sat Gao Yanzong, and on her left sat Gao Changgong, who was wrapped up in bandages and only wearing an undershirt.

Two chairs were moved to the head of her bed, and the fairy Changcao, who was wearing a gray Taoist robe, and her apprentice Cang Baishu were sitting on them, staring at the two door gods who were guarding her bed.

These people managed to make the already narrow room seem full.

"Why isn't she awake yet?" Gao Yanzong stared at the unconscious girl in front of him without blinking. His brown eyes were slightly moist and bloodshot with anxiety.

Gao Changgong, who was sitting on the other side, had originally frowned, but he still stared at her pale face intently after hearing her words. He was afraid that his loud voice would hurt her, so he pinched his throat and asked softly - "Master! Come and have a look, her breathing seems to be weaker than before..."

Changcao said helplessly, "She is suffering from stress after choking on water and lack of rest. She will be fine after getting enough sleep. Why don't you go back first, Lanling King? Your injuries are much more serious than hers. Why do you insist on staying by the bed and watching her sleep? I'm sure all the wounds on your body must have burst open by now, right?"

Gao Yanzong turned his head and looked at his brother whose face was pale, feeling really distressed, "Brother, you go back first, I'm here."

After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong and quickly said,
"You're injured like this, she'll be worried about you when she wakes up."

Gao Changgong looked down at the white bandage on his body that was oozing blood, and shook his head stubbornly.

"It's all my fault that I didn't bring her back safe and sound. I won't feel at ease until she opens her eyes."

Changcao couldn't help but tease, "Prince Lanling is too modest. You have a body of iron. You are still so clear-headed and strong even after being stabbed like a sieve. Compared with you, Empress Huaxu's weak body pales in comparison. The wound on her left arm is the most serious, but she is still unconscious..."

Gao Changgong shook his head, "Don't talk about her! She just collapsed from all the sleeplessness in recent days."

Gao Yanzong, who was standing by, heard Kundao mention that she was "feeling weak" and was about to laugh, but then he realized who was the cause and awkwardly suppressed the corners of his mouth that were slightly raised.

——Yuan Wuyou heard a buzzing sound like the flapping wings of mosquitoes and flies in his ears, and opened his heavy eyelids with great effort. Before he could see the blurry figure clearly, he heard screams one after another from above his head!
"Are you awake?"

"Wuyouer, where does it hurt?"

As soon as she opened her eyes, two faces squeezed into her field of vision at the same time. They were naturally the Gao brothers sitting on her left and right.

"Where does it hurt, ahhh——" After she looked at him like that, Gao Changgong excitedly tried to prop up his body, but he stretched the wound on his abdomen and immediately bit his lower lip to endure the pain.

Yuan Wuyou looked carefully and found herself in a room that smelled of damp and decay. Her right hand was held by Gao Yanzong, and on her left sat Gao Changgong, who was wrapped in bandages all over his body, the white cloth strips soaked red with blood. He was standing by her bedside with his hand covering his bleeding chest, his dark eyes filled with joy.

Then, the Herb Changing Fairy and Cang Baishu who were sitting beside her also stood up and surrounded her, looking at her as if she were a monkey.

Yuan Wuyou was a little confused. "How did you get together? Are you here to have a party?"

Changcao waved his hand and said, "Now that the lady has woken up, Lanling King, don't hold on any longer. Let your disciple heal your injuries."

Seeing Cang Baishu, who was wearing a dark green cloak, coming over as he said, and Gao Changgong still sitting beside her, hesitating whether to get up, Yuan Wuyou hurriedly raised her left arm that was closest to him! "Ah...wait!" She raised her arm that was wrapped like a dumpling and felt a tearing pain, and then she realized that she was really injured.

The Gao brothers were frightened. Gao Changgong stretched out his hands to support her left arm, but did not dare to touch her.

"Don't move! I won't leave. I'll stay with you..."

Yuan Wuyou looked at Cang Baishu warily, pulled his right hand out of Gao Yanzong's hand, and tried to prop himself up and sit up, "Stop! Are you trying to assassinate Gao Changgong? Did the Zhou Kingdom send you here?"

Gao Yanzong, whose hand was shaken off, had no time to feel disappointed. He supported her back silently, brought a soft pillow to support her back, and helped her sit up.

Seeing his disciple being questioned, Chang Cao hurriedly said, "Why does your lady dislike him so much? He escorted you and Lanling King all the way back, and Zhou Guo was also worried that you would be seriously injured."

Yuan Wuyou looked at Gao Changgong, who was wrapped in white bandages and bleeding, and frowned, "Did he bandage you? Has the bleeding stopped? There's no blood on your mouth."

Gao Changgong shook his head, "It was the military doctor who took care of it... Don't blame them, I was anxious to see you."

"Then quickly ask Cang Baishu to re-wrap it. I do trust the medical skills of the Changcao Fairy, but due to the difference between men and women, it would be more convenient since you and Cang Baishu are both men."

Seeing the man stubbornly shaking his head with a stubborn look in his eyes, Yuan Wuyou was about to scold him, but the herb-changer waved her hand and said,

"It's inconvenient, isn't it? Well, I'll go out for a walk and let my disciple treat his wounds in front of you. You'll feel relieved now, right?"

After saying this, the Herb Changing Fairy waved the sleeves of her Taoist robe, took square steps, and walked away without looking back.

"Hey?" Just as Gao Changgong was about to ask the fairy girl to stay, he was poked on the waist by the girl's stiff left hand holding the bag.

"Go change the dressing quickly. I won't peek at you."

Seeing her using her injured left arm again, Gao Yanzong, who was sitting at the head of the bed, said anxiously, "Can you please stop moving? Do you want your left arm to be completely broken and useless?"

Yuan Wuyou smiled awkwardly, "I know what I'm doing. My arm won't be broken."

Gao Changgong lowered his eyes, and looked at her pleadingly with his dark and shiny phoenix eyes. However, she was very persistent, so he had to stand up reluctantly. "Okay... Actually, you can just look at me openly. I'm just afraid that you will find my scars ugly."

As he spoke, the tall man, whose body was covered in bandages and oozing blood, sat down on the general's chair beside him, looking back every few steps. Cang Baishu had already spread out bottles and jars on the table, waiting to remove the blood-soaked cloth strips and change the bandages for him.

After watching Gao Changgong move to another position, Yuan Wuyou saw Gao Yanzong sitting at the head of the bed staring at her silently, and then she remembered something.
"By the way, where is the life-definition Gu that I gave you earlier?"

Gao Yanzong was well prepared. He quickly reached out and took out a crystal ball wrapped in a brocade bag on the bedside table and handed it to her.

She took it and pointed it out to him, "This is what I pulled off Li Mingjian's neck. It should be his life-definition Gu."

He looked surprised, "How did you get it?"

"Have you forgotten? My mother told me that all witches have their own natal Gu, which is usually placed closest to the heart. He was eager to snatch my Scarlet Sky Sword, but he didn't expect that I was trying to steal his natal Gu."
