A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 489 There is no madman in the royal family

Yuan Wuyou still asked without giving up,
"Didn't you say before... that you would stay with me through thick and thin? I don't believe that you didn't mean it at all. If you say now that you want freedom, I will do my best to set you free, so that you can still be the carefree King Ande, and you don't have to follow me."

Gao Yanzong may have noticed something, and frowned.
"You didn't make a deal with the emperor just for me, did you? I would rather break up with you. Anyway, our relationship can't be made public, so don't get involved with me."

"I just ask you, if you are going to die in the next moment, are you still willing to be with me at this moment?"

"Of course."

Seeing that he gave her a positive answer without hesitation, Yuan Wuyou narrowed her brown eyes and smiled with her lips raised.

"Since you don't want to be separated from me before you die, why can't you enjoy your last days with me now?"

"I know the Lord is urging you to write back. You will not marry Lord Zhou, but your stay or departure will be a hidden danger to everyone."

The man pursed his chubby lips, and his happy smile from the bottom of his heart was also tinged with bitterness and pity.

"I don't know whether I should hope that you will leave or stay. I am not in control of myself. I just hope that we can go our separate ways. I won't interfere with you, and you don't have to worry about me."

Yuan Wuyou felt a lump in her throat. She looked at the man's face in front of her and swallowed back whatever she wanted to say.

For Northern Qi, Gao Changgong was the sword of protection, and Gao Yanzong was the icing on the cake. Unlike Gao Changgong's outstanding looks, he did not bring peace and prosperity to the country and the people, and had all the beautiful facial features described in the physiognomy book.

Gao Yanzong is 70% beautiful, but she also shows 100% charm. When she joins forces with other soldiers, she becomes a beautiful and rich woman in the world.

He was really handsome, but not like Gao Changgong, who unified everyone's eyes with his gorgeous yet tough and heroic handsomeness; Gao Yanzong had the kind of fairy-like beauty, pure and sexy, and it was difficult to tell whether he was androgynous. His facial features were soft and rarely sharp, yet feminine and delicate.

Peach blossom eyes, willow-shaped eyebrows, cherry lips... He usually doesn't talk, but just the face there is pleasing to the eye and makes people's heart beat fast.

To say that their acquaintance and love were actually quite passionate and confusing, but when it came to the time to break up and mature, he sat beside her like an innocent boy, well-behaved and gentle, and the years were peaceful.

Looking at the man in white shirt beside her, she couldn't help but teasing,

"Whose silly fox are you? Why are you so unrestrained when it comes to love?"

The man turned his head away from her and muttered unwillingly:

"I'm not stupid... nor am I carefree. It's just that you caught me in the most humble and embarrassing state... I can never be strong in front of you."

"Don't worry, I'm here with you. While I'm not nailed to the throne yet, I want to face everything with you."

Gao Yanzong could not ignore the burning gaze coming from the side, nor did he dare to look at her. He could only look forward, lowering his eyes to look at the soldiers training below, and pretended to be nonchalant and said:

"If you were to see me flirting with others, how would you feel? Would you blame me for not observing male ethics, or would you think I was degrading myself?"

"I know you have no choice." "Does it make you feel bad?"

"I'm sure she'll be jealous. So I want to take you away, or hide you away and only show you to me."

"If I were still the King Ande who never got involved in sex, I would consider dancing for the envoys as showing off my charm. If I could attract the Princess of Southern Chen and make her fall in love with me, I would be proud of it. This is exactly what I relied on in the past... In the past, wherever I went, from the old to the young, all women admired me. If I didn't have a strong sense of chastity, I might have slept with every woman I met. Even if someone called me a slut, I wouldn't have cared."

"Such words... are indeed what you would have said in the past. Perhaps being with me has restricted you too much."

Hearing her difficult and lonely tone, Gao Yanzong could not help but glance back, and saw that her eyebrows were drooping, and she was casually looking at the soldiers practicing dancing at the bottom of the slope.

"You don't have to be so vague. I know what the emperor said I was. He was right. He just tore apart my false illusion of vanity. I was indeed deceiving myself. To put it nicely, I am a romantic prince and an embellishment of the Great Qi. To put it bluntly... I am a man that others want to sleep with, but no one wants to marry me. Maybe someone wants me to become a good person, but I look down on everyone."

"I'm sorry, I wanted to rescue you and let you be yourself, but in the end I became your shackles and bound you..."

"You don't have to blame yourself. In my heart... you are the best destination, my dear. But I have low self-esteem and I know that I can't be your wife. I can only struggle in the mud. I am not so self-deceiving as to cover my ears and steal the bell."

The two people's conversation became increasingly obscure, and Yuan Wuyou didn't know how to respond for a moment, fearing that if he spoke too superficially it would be useless, and if he spoke too bluntly it would hurt others.

Seeing that she was silent, Gao Yanzong turned around and said comfortingly:
"Don't worry, I know my limits and will always remember that I am a married man. Even if I spread my feathers like a peacock, I will not let others think that I really have feelings for her. Besides, there are more than just my two brothers in the Great Qi Kingdom. Moreover, she is a legitimate princess of the Southern Chen royal family, and I am an idle prince of the royal family. I am not needed for the marriage."

"Okay, you comfort me like this...I feel much better."

"It is said that except for my father, all the Gao family members are crazy, but no one can explain the reason. Later, I was called a crazy person, and then I understood the difference between crazy people and ordinary people."

Yuan Wuyou had just heard such words from the real madman Gao Wei, and now that Gao Yanzong also mentioned it, she suddenly became excited.

"What's the difference?"

Gao Yanzong said slowly: "Ordinary people will compromise, but lunatics won't. Lunatics are paranoid and love to overturn tables. Later I found out that there will be no lunatics in my family, because the brothers who refused to compromise have died. Now my family is a royal family, subject to the control of the royal family. It turns out that only those who sit at the top of power are worthy and dare to act like lunatics. We... can only surrender and obey the royal family in order to protect ourselves."

"Heh... that's quite right. For example, the only reason I didn't become a tyrant was because of my lack of ability."

The man narrowed his peach blossom eyes, and suddenly looked up at the blood-red setting sun, and his eyes were filled with moisture.

A sad smile appeared on his lips.
"Who is born to like flirting? The attention that I attract is just because of my lust, and they want to make fun of me. Everyone likes to be admired and to stand shoulder to shoulder with their loved one... Rather than being a vase ornament, I hope that after flaunting myself in front of others, I can turn around and hug my loved one, show my love to the world, and declare my sovereignty. Who do I belong to..."

"I do have such a bold idea, but I'm afraid you'll dislike it."

"If you tell it now, we'll both be laughed at."

Yuan Wuyou: "..."

He did not elaborate on this, but just lowered his head and said,
"I like flowers, butterflies, jewelry, gold and jade, and other things that are a bit delicate and flashy. Do you think... that all men should be as heroic and mighty as Fourth Brother?"
