A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 578 The Desperate Woman

Hearing this, Yuan Wuyou grinned and snorted coldly.

"You're not paralyzed, do you still need me to take you home? Yes, I just don't want to get entangled with you anymore. What else can you ask a woman who has given up on you to accompany you?"

After hearing this, Gao Yanzong's bright brown eyes became dull and lifeless, as if he was in despair.

The man then pursed his lips that were still stained with blood, and whispered in a hoarse voice, "Don't you believe in Fourth Brother's character? Then you should believe in Fourth Brother's martial arts even more. I just don't believe that you have given up. You are so good to me... You must still like me a little, even if it's just a little bit..."

"I just don't love you anymore, it doesn't mean I can't be good to you."

Gao Yanzong saw that her eyes were distant and cold, and her tone was sincere, and he felt heartbroken. He had always been thin-skinned, but in front of her, he threw away all his pride and self-esteem.

He knew that if he didn't take the initiative to get close to her and pester her, she would not cross the line. Gao Yanzong had to swallow his shame and asked softly in a hoarse voice: "I'll ask you one last question. Have you ever... loved me?"

Yuan Wuyou knew that she should say no at this moment to end the entanglement, but she was not good at lying, so she had to tell the truth:
"You know what's going on."

If there is a number, then there has been one.

Gao Yanzong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but he quickly suppressed it and bit his lip and said, "I'll say something unpleasant. Maybe Fourth Brother has the princess of the Western Wei Dynasty in his heart. When he grew up, he fell in love with Zheng Xuannu, but because of the identity of Zheng from Xingyang, he was ambiguous towards you. After learning that you were his fiancée, Queen Fengling, he hated you. Fortunately, everyone was happy in the end. But I'm different..."

Under normal circumstances, Yuan Wuyou would not want to listen to this, but although Gao Yanzong kept on talking this time and his mood was obviously not right, she had no idea what he was going to say until she heard it to the end.

So she echoed, "Oh?"

The man stared at her with his burning eyes and continued:
"No matter who you are, I have always been attracted to you. From the time I saw you in prison, from the time you helped me out in front of that fake monk, I felt that you were a very righteous person. In addition, you have always been very kind to me and everyone else. Until today, you only punish those who stand in your way, but you are reluctant to kill them because of our friendship. Your nature is still so noble and friendly. What I like about you is you as a person, not your status."

"It's hard for you to remember something that happened so long ago."

"If I have a bad memory, how can I remember the grudge?" Gao Yanzong angrily brought up the past, and then changed the subject.

"Also... I'm not saying that Fourth Brother's feelings for you are impure. I also know Fourth Brother's personality. Only a girl like you who has a preconceived idea and a perfect match can win his heart. I want to say that I don't want any benefit from you. Although you are of noble status now and I use you, if you lose power one day, even if you are defeated and imprisoned with nothing, I still dare to break into the prison and take you away."

"Can't you hope for me to be better?"

"Of course I hope you're well, that you get what you want, and that you don't have to worry about anything. ... By the way, I've kept you here for too long. I can even feel my teeth. You should go find Fourth Brother first."

Yuan Wuyou nodded, stood up and was about to leave, but saw the man's childish smiling face, the ups and downs of his lips, and his plump lips were shiny and moist, which was simply tempting to kiss him.

How did Gao Yanzong keep himself? He is already 27 years old, but his face is as tender as that of a 17-year-old boy.

She wanted to kiss him, but then realized that she had nothing to do with him now. Since she had given up, she should not be greedy for beauty, and she could not act as if nothing had happened just because of his few words to win him back.

Gao Yanzong pursed his lips as he looked at the beautiful girl with a baby face in front of him. She stared at his face with a slightly furrowed brow and a look of confusion. His eyes were like he was looking at some fragile porcelain. He wanted to get close to her but was restrained. What a little old-fashioned person.

He felt soft-hearted and itchy at the same time. He couldn't help but stretch out his trembling arms, hook the little girl's neck, pull down her face, and kiss her on the lips.

After the kiss, the man looked at her with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I can't help myself. Maybe you, the sun, have never belonged to me, but sometimes, you do shine on me."

Yuan Wuyou licked the corner of his lip and tasted something fishy and sweet. He touched the corner with his finger and found blood. He quickly pinched the man's chin and rubbed his lips with the tip of his thumb.

"You bit your tongue and it's bleeding, yet you're talking so much?"

The man smiled with his eye bags curved, and his fleshy double eyelids stared at her with burning eyes. "You say you don't love me, but you still care about me so much? You are such a hypocritical old-fashioned person."

The girl frowned and looked unhappy when she heard this. "Are you——"

"Don't worry, my brother won't die even if he bleeds. Go find my fourth brother, I'll be there soon." Gao Yanzong was afraid of angering her, so he interrupted her and advised her to give up on him.

Gao Yanzong was touched, but fortunately he still had a clear mind and did not dare to delay her work. As for reconciliation? There is still a long way to go.

Yuan Wuyou nodded solemnly, but still worried.
"Is the sword I gave you still there?"

The man raised his dominant left hand and shook his five slender and well-proportioned fingers, revealing the dark green jade bracelet on his white-knuckled thumb.

Gao Yanzong's eyebrows were raised high, and his peach blossom eyes were smiling with relief:
"Of course, this is the only thought you left me."

"That was my life-saving hidden weapon that protected me for many years. I hope it can protect you in the future as well. Goodbye."

Yuan Wuyou then turned around and left with peace of mind.

In fact, she was touched, but even if Gao Yanzong said a lot, she would not turn back, at least not reconcile with him, even if they were in such a mess. She was tired, so she let him do whatever he wanted, she would rather be alone.

In addition, Gao Yanzong's emotion towards her was expected. After all, he had done his utmost, even too much. After such a long time of influence, even if he was a piece of stone with sharp edges, he should have been warmed by her. However, she did all this based on three parts of personal feelings and seven parts of sympathy. When he was in a difficult situation and was rescued, it was not surprising that he mistook the emotion for love.

But this time, Yuan Wuyou didn't believe it and didn't take it to heart.

Yuan Wuyou left Gao Yanzong behind and rushed out of the white light door. At a glance, she saw her mother, who was wearing a black robe and a hat, standing next to the rockery, holding a long sword and pointing it at the neck of the man in a red shirt who looked very much like her father.

Dugu Yongye, who was wearing armor, stood between the two men, his arms folded with wrist guards, his eyebrows raised, and he watched coldly, saying, "If you kill Dugu Luo, who looks most like Dugu Xin, Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that he will come to you in the middle of the night to ask for your son?"

If it was Yuan Mingjing three years ago, she might have felt a little compassion, but at this moment, her heart was not beating, so how could she care about an abandoned husband and an abandoned child? So when she heard this, Yuan Mingjing immediately put the sword on her neck.

"Oh, I am already dead, it's just right for our family of three to be reunited."
