A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 654: Immortal Lanling

Gao Changgong was moved to tears by Yuwen Huaibi's words, because he really had no confidence and no qualifications to snatch her away from his hometown old friend. He thought of the dream again.

In the dream, he put the jade seal and her token of love together, surrendered to her, and married her far away. But from then on, everything about him, even his life and death, was out of his control. The consequence of him retaining a bit of pride and the ability to protect himself was that he was killed by her own hands.

If she married far away in Qi State, he would be in danger... No, it won't happen!

Thinking of this, Gao Changgong suddenly made up his mind. If she gave up everything for love, he would never let her lose. At least as long as he lived, he would protect her with his life and would never let her die before him.

He was not even as good as herself in her dreams. After the death of herself in her dreams, she enjoyed endless loneliness and remembered him. At least she loved him. But she was not like that at the moment. There was no love on her face.

Seeing Gao Changgong staring with dark eyes and crying silently, Yuwen Huaibi was even more angry: "You act like a spoiled child, bite back, and cry? It's no wonder that Yuan Wuyou doesn't want a man like you!"

The culprit actually added insult to injury! Gao Changgong was so angry that he cried, "You are talking nonsense! Shut up!" He turned to look at the girl in front of him, "I... I won't..."

Yuan Wuyou's face was cold, "What can't you do?"

She thought he meant that he would not let her become a resentful woman in a deep house, but he actually said: "I won't seduce..."

Yuan Wuyou was so angry at his own self-righteousness that he laughed. "If you don't know how to do it, just go and learn. You dare to come to me without any sincerity? Have you ever thought about why I should go with you?"

Gao Changgong felt so aggrieved that he couldn't control himself and shed tears in front of her. He knew that he wouldn't be able to speak if he cried. He sobbed as soon as he opened his mouth and couldn't speak a complete sentence. He could only look at her with tears in his eyes.

Fortunately, she did not rush him, but waited calmly for him to calm down a little before speaking again.

Gao Changgong then blinked his eyes and said in a low, hoarse voice:

"I thought you wouldn't come with me, but I really didn't know what I could do. I didn't have the confidence to take you back. I..."

Hearing this, Yuwen Huaibi on the side sneered: "You two brothers are really good at tricks. One is a fox and flirts, and the other pretends to be a fool and cries. Are all you Han men so scheming and good at using beauty traps?"

Gao Changgong wiped his tears, feeling embarrassed by the Xianbei Emperor's scolding, but he forced himself to ignore the bullying from others and looked straight at her.
"Even though I know you are the high and mighty Empress Huaxu, I still yearn for the past when you were my fiancée, my wife... I don't know what you want, but I can give you whatever I have. I find myself... I really can't live without you. You are the first person I miss all the time, and you are the person I miss when I can't see you for a day..."

There were traces of tears on the man's handsome face, and he spoke in a broken voice with tears in his eyes, but his words were powerful and sincere.

Yuan Wuyou couldn't bear to see him crying like this, so he hugged him and wiped his tears with his right hand.

"Okay, stop crying. Why are you crying too?"

Gao Changgong wiped his tears and stubbornly tried to suppress his crying voice, "I... I don't want to, but I just can't control it... I cry when I feel wronged... Once I cry, I can't even speak a sentence..."

"Okay, okay, don't cry. If you cry again, I'll kiss you."

The man was stunned. He pursed his lips, wiped his tears, and blinked at her.

Yuan Wuyou's eyebrows narrowed, "Are you afraid that I will kiss you?"

"No... I'm afraid you'll look down on me. I think you said this before?" "I have a good memory."

Seeing the two of them being so intimate as if no one was around, Yuwen Huaibi, who was standing by, had a look of disgust on his face since Gao Changgong started crying, and he didn't even bother to interrupt his pretending to be weak.

Seeing that the black-shirted girl's eyes were full of tears, Yuwen Huaibi was afraid that she was really abducted, so he quickly made a sarcastic remark!
"Yuan Wuyou! Can't you see how hypocritical and pretentious he is? Gao Changgong is also a delicate and pretentious monster! What do you like about these two brothers?"

He was so angry that he wanted to walk away.

Yuan Wuyou felt his words were familiar. Did Yuwen Huaibi learn this from Sister Feng?
Seeing that the girl beside him didn't say anything, Gao Changgong suddenly felt uneasy. His dark eyes were wet, and he looked at her eagerly, and asked in a difficult tone: "Do you think I'm too old?"

"Not old."

"I am twelve years older than you, exactly one generation older. When I was young and full of vigor and vitality, you were only five years old. You knew nothing, but you were precocious."

"I understand. I admired the way you looked at that time and I think you should be a member of my family. Okay, let's go out and talk."

After Yuan Wuyou finished speaking, he pulled Gao Changgong's wrist guard and walked away, but the Xianbei man's long legs blocked his way.

"Stop." The Xianbei man stared at Yuan Wuyou, "You don't want to be the queen, do you want to be a royal princess? There are no good people in the Gao family. I am afraid that you will suffer losses and be humiliated. I am afraid that he will side with his own family and let you be humiliated."

Gao Changgong immediately shouted at him angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about! No matter how loyal I am, would I allow my wife to be humiliated?"

Yuan Wuyou looked cold and glanced at Gao Changgong, "Let's go."

The man's dark eyes dimmed, and he said unwillingly, "He doesn't believe me, I want to prove that I can protect the girl I love."

"Then you stay here and bicker with him."

Yuan Wuyou left Gao Changgong and turned away resolutely.

Gao Changgong wanted to follow, but Yuwen Huaibi raised his hand to stop him. He looked at him with a sinister look and said calmly:
"In her eyes, any of you can be the queen. It's not because she trusts you. Quite the opposite. She doesn't trust you. She is too proud and conceited to rely on men. She thinks you are dispensable, so she treats the position of queen like a joke."

Gao Changgong certainly knew that she didn't believe him, but he still felt sad and bitter when it was revealed by an outsider. He was not good at speaking, and he thought that the person he was facing was the king of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Emperor of the Xianbei, and not the Bai Lu slave who had shrunk under his tent in the past... He had no choice but to walk around her without saying a word and chase after the girl in black.

She has a strong spine, walks briskly and calmly, and even her back shows her tall and straight figure, looking very heroic.

It seems that she really doesn't need a man by her side. She is as majestic as a mountain and as bright as the sun and the moon. She doesn't need to rely on any man. However, seeing that she is in power recently, many young boys want to get close to her.

Gao Changgong had no choice but to follow her silently, not daring to walk shoulder to shoulder with her, let alone rush forward and block her way.

Li Mingjian, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard and had not left, crossed his arms and looked at her leaving figure. He really felt that she was the right person to be the ruler of the Central Plains. She was powerful and could bewitch people. She did not need witchcraft to help. Her words and actions could also penetrate his psychological defenses, which was frightening.

He originally wanted to escape from the Ten Thousand Mountains, but now he feels that he can't go back to Chang'an. On one hand, he has to face the barbarians and bad habits surrounding him, and on the other hand, there are the destined taboos surging under the constraints of rules and ethics... If he stays in southern Xinjiang, at least things will remain the same. If he returns to his hometown, he will have to face unspeakable torment.
