A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 599 Dreaming and Hating
Yuwen Huaibi finally tracked down Hua Xu to her tomb, but she stayed indoors, refusing to let him enter the palace or see him.

He thought she blamed him for succumbing to power and marrying the queen, so he decided to elope and never return to Chang'an. He wanted to stay in Huaxu, by her side, from now on.

He even knelt outside the palace gate for a long time, just begging the girl to come out and see him.

In late August of that year, there was a rare heavy rain in Western Shu, which faded the red wedding dress of the Northern Zhou emperor. The most beautiful woman in the Xianbei tribe lost her pride and fell ill.

Fortunately, during the seven or eight years that Yuwen Huaibi was a puppet emperor, he had no dignity or pride.

The female crown prince, who had known him since childhood, could not bear to see him humiliating herself, so she personally brought the Xianbei man back to the Eastern Palace.

When Yuwen Huaibi woke up, he looked at the girl beside the bed. She was only 15 years old, but she looked mature and distant. He couldn't help but ask her, "What's the point of me waiting for you all these years? I've been loyal to you, what about you?"

When the female crown princess heard this, her tone was cold and her eyes were sarcastic.

"Wake up, Yuwen Huaibi. You are the puppet emperor of the Northern Zhou, but I am the sole ruler of Huaxu. My mission is to expand the territory and revive the Han Dynasty. Even if I marry a husband and take concubines, I will not hang myself on a tree. I haven't touched you yet, so you have nothing to lose."

The girl was cold and heartless, as if they had lost each other. It seemed that he was the young girl in love, and she was the heartless and unfaithful man.

Yuwen Huaibi blushed at her questioning, and his heart was broken by her. But he still mustered up his courage and complained:

"But I've been waiting for you for more than ten years! Even if we have to end our relationship, can't you consummate the marriage first and leave me with something to think about?"

"No. If you were pregnant, you would pester me even more."

Looking at the Xianbei man's pale face due to illness, his features were still beautiful and heart-throbbing... Yuan Wuyou knew that once he appeared, all the handsome men around her would be eclipsed. He could still easily win her heart. She quickly retracted her gaze, stood up with difficulty, and issued an ultimatum:

"When you recover, please leave. Chang'an needs you."

From then on, the Crown Princess didn't even return to the Eastern Palace to live.

Yuwen Huaibi, who was recuperating in the East Palace, could not see the crown prince, but he met those star officials of the Suxing Mansion who had followed the Western Wei empress in the past. He learned from the post horse official that the Duke of Tang who had sent the jade seal to the southern border in the past was still alive. It was said that there were ghosts in the area and people in several villages had died, so the Duke of Tang’s people could not bring back, but asked the young guard to bring back Li’s token and give it to the female Khan.

Yuwen Huaibi suddenly had an idea and wanted to weave a dream with her.

He found the Princess Guardian who had returned from southern Xinjiang.

"I heard that you are from Lingnan and are proficient in witchcraft?"

Xian Cangying became interested: "Who does the king want to harm?"

"Yuan Ji Xiao."

"The King has someone he wants! I'll help you with this order even if it costs me money. So, tell me, how do you want her to die?"

"I want to implant a dream with her, so that she will remember that the first man was me."

"Tsk, a spring dream? If she doesn't want to have sex with you and resists strongly, the dream will fail."

"Even if I have to use force, I want to leave a memory behind."

"Why bother? Even if the dream can deceive her, it can't deceive everyone. She won't believe it." "But I believe it. I have to deceive myself first before I can deceive her."

"As far as I know, Her Highness hates you more than she loves you. If you want to make love with her in her dream, it depends on how well you understand her and whether you can make her fall in love with... and hate you in her dream." After a pause, Xian Cangying, who had been lowering his eyes in deep thought, suddenly had an idea and raised his eyes and smiled.

"Yes! I thought of someone who is inseparable from His Highness."

***
Seeing this, Yuan Wuyou completely doubted whether the sex that night happened or not, and he was so angry that he couldn't take it anymore.

I was trapped in the old dream for three years before I understood the cause and effect. Yuwen Huaibi, you have deceived me so much!

It turned out that he had broken his promise and left Chang'an for the safety of Yuwen Huaibi. How could this damn emperor repay his kindness with enmity?

And in the dream... Even though she couldn't see his blurry face clearly, why did she always feel that he was so stunningly handsome that all the other beauties pale in comparison? She couldn't help but become curious about Yuwen Huaibi's appearance again.

In fact, Yuan Wuyou had not seen Yuwen Huaibi's face since she came of age, and her memory of childhood was very vague. Logically, if they had really consummated their marriage three years ago, she would not have forgotten his face and only remembered their physical contact. However, Yuwen Huaibi had shown amazing beauty since he was young. Everyone who saw him would praise him as the most beautiful among the Xianbei people, so he must not be that ugly.

But every time they met this year, he either had sores on his face that ruined his appearance, or he wore a mask to show that his scars had not faded. Gao Changgong's appearance was already unparalleled in the world. When Yuan Wuyou saw his face, he couldn't say a single harsh word. Even if he had any big troubles, they could be cured. But Yuwen Huaibi... could she be as beautiful as him?

The dream quietly revealed its boundaries and the darkness gradually faded away.

Yuan Wuyou was in a trance and returned to Bowang City Inn. Now she was on the bluestone road with a gloomy sky above her head. In front of her stood Yuwen Huaibi, who was wearing a black suit and a jade mask.

The pair of gray-blue phoenix eyes under the jade face of the Xianbei man were originally sinister and deep, full of hostility. After looking at her, they suddenly became clear and bright!
The next moment, she was held in the arms of the Xianbei man.

"Aren't you blaming me for lying? I'll give you the real thing!"

The man had a thin figure, but his long arms were quite powerful. Although the arms that were tightly wrapped around Yuan Wuyou's waist and back were warm and cold, they were made of solid flesh and blood!
Faced with the man's sudden violation of the rules, she panicked and pushed him away with all her might!
"Let go! I want to kill you!"

She pushed his chest away and pried his arms apart, but his arms were wrapped around her neck again.

"No, I am the husband you grabbed at your first birthday party. You are the only one in my life. You can't abandon me, ever..."

Even though she reacted violently, he didn't let go.

Hearing the man's affectionate and hateful threat, Yuan Wuyou suddenly had a flash of memory in her mind, but she didn't catch it. It was obvious that he was accusing her.

Yuan Wuyou angrily grabbed the man in front of him by the neck, strangling his breath while trying to pry open his arms that were wrapped around him.

Seeing that he was having difficulty breathing, the only mouth exposed under the half mask opened and closed, but he did not beg for mercy, but repeated in a difficult and hoarse voice: "You can't abandon me..."

Yuan Wuyou loosened his hand helplessly, pushed him away and said angrily:
"Yuwen Huaibi, you're crazy! You love my family's power and my background. Stop pretending to be affectionate. It makes me sick!"

The Xianbei man staggered back two steps, and before he could stand firmly, his eyes were full of sadness and his tone was crazy!

"I love you!"

"Why do you love me? I am ten years younger than you, and I have been a devil since I was young. You can't hate me enough. Three years ago, you begged me to have sex with you just to make things legitimate. When I didn't want to, you used witchcraft to bewitch me and made me believe you for three years. Is that how much you love me?"
