A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 716: Burning Rhinoceros Candle
The man struggled and kicked her away, then freed his hands from the hemp rope, drew his sword from his waist, and tried to stab her...

But Yuan Wuyou seized the opportunity and strangled his neck again with the hemp rope tied with the steel claw hook!
At the same time, she knocked the sword out of his hand, and it fell to the ground with a loud clang.

As soon as I saw the ivy, I knew where her hemp rope came from.

Yuan Wuyou only realized that he had captured a very important figure alive after he was tied up.

The archer in front of him was wearing black and red sleeves and golden soft armor, and the grass ring on his head fell off during the fight between the two.

At that time, Yuan Wuyou strangled the archer half to death and tied his hands tightly before he took off the golden mask on his face.

When he felt his face relax, he exclaimed, "Stop it, you damn girl!"

At the same time, the golden mask that he had been mysterious for so long was finally peeled off!
The moment their eyes met, the world was silent.

Yuan Wuyou, who was full of anger just now, instantly widened his sharp eyes when he saw the true face under the archer's mask.

The face that came into his sight instantly stunned Yuan Wuyou.

It’s not that he is so handsome, but because the handsome face in front of me has a pair of brown phoenix eyes that are very similar to my own, and as bright as amber.

The facial features of his face perfectly overlapped with Yuan Wuyou's childhood memories. Although his eyebrows and eyes had grown, he still had the same appearance that he was so familiar with.

Especially when he saw his forehead, which was as clean as white porcelain and embedded with a bright red flame tattoo, Yuan Wuyou recognized him at a glance.

He is Heyin Prince Yuan Zizhu, the uncle Li Guo whom I met a few days ago but didn’t recognize.

She actually... met that weird cousin?

Dust-covered memories suddenly came flooding back, as if returning to the past.

——Seventeen years ago.

It is still the Wei Dynasty, autumn in Chang'an.

At the Crown Princess's first birthday party, the ignorant little kid, wearing a yellow robe and a crown, was being pulled around to recognize people.

The Western Wei empress Yuan Mingjing was an old woman who had her only daughter. She had few close relatives, and her cousin Yuan Xie's youngest son was one of them.

In order to show her importance to her only child and relatives, the female Khan held her daughter's first birthday banquet in the Zhengwu Hall where she usually held court.

At that time, the goddess looked around at the royal relatives and ministers who came to the meeting. The female Khan of the Western Wei Dynasty, who was wearing a crown and court dress, took her daughter's hand and pointed to a young boy with a striking figure in the crowd:

"Call me uncle. He is your real uncle. His courtesy name is Ranxi."

Next to her was the gentle voice of her biological father, echoing:

"He is Yuan Zizhu, the Prince of Heyin, also known by his courtesy name of Ranxi. He is a brother of your mother, the Queen.

The little girl, who had just regained her memory, stared with her big eyes, looking up at the twelve-year-old boy in front of her. He had almond-shaped eyes with upturned corners and a natural raised red mole between his eyebrows.

Heyin Prince Yuan Ranxi still had the childish face of a teenager, but his facial features had already begun to show his stunning beauty. He had a solemn appearance, but always had a sly fox-like smile on his face, and was cynical.

He looked both amiable and distant.

Yuan Ranxi practiced martial arts since he was young. Because his father died of illness, he inherited the title and took on the important responsibilities of the royal palace at an early age. Therefore, he had a calm demeanor and an upright posture at a young age.

Even when he was introduced by the emperor's cousin and shown in front of all the officials, his hands hanging by his sides did not move at all, and he did not even return the greeting, as if he had a sense of boundaries towards everyone.

The one-year-old little princess did not understand her uncle's estrangement. She just stared at the two cinnabar rings on his waist with her beautiful big yellow eyes like amber embedded in her round white porcelain face. The mother-child bracelets were one large and one small, with a hole drilled in the middle so that the large ring was inside the small ring, forming a whole. They were made of cinnabar crystal glue, and polished to a very bright shine.

But it is not as bright as the night pearl as big as a pigeon egg hanging in the middle of the mother and child rings.

The Zhengwu Hall was brightly lit tonight, as bright as day, and the double cinnabar rings on my uncle's waist were shining brightly under the reflection of the orange-red night pearls.

The "Double Moons and the Sun" accessory on his waist was very eye-catching and attracted the little princess's attention.

She fluttered her fluffy eyelashes, blinked her fleshy double eyelids and amber eyes, grabbed the hem of the queen's clothes behind her, pointed at the waist ornament of the young man in front of her and said, "I want this!"

Yuan Ranxi: “…”

It was the first time that the uncle and nephew met formally, but neither of them acted like the elder or the younger. The Crown Princess even asked for things as soon as she opened her mouth, and didn't even show respect to her uncle.

My uncle didn't hesitate and said, "No. This is what my mother asked me to pass on to her daughter-in-law."

"..."

Others would have made fun of them, but the two in front of them were the only remaining blood relatives of the current emperor and Tianmu Khan.

All the civil and military officials in the court could only laugh awkwardly.

And this little girl, who had always had her wishes granted and had never been rejected since she was born, immediately pouted her lips, looked dissatisfied, and suddenly pounced on her uncle!

The collision caused Yuan Ranxi's body to shake, and the accessories on his waist to jingle. The jade-like, crystal-clear cinnabar double rings and the night-shining pearl struck each other, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

But Yuan Ranxi did not support the Crown Princess. Instead, he quickly stepped back and held the little girl's soft forehead with one hand.

Instead, she grabbed the night pearl around his waist.

The niece, who didn't even call him uncle, insisted on asking for his mother's belongings, but Yuan Ranxi naturally refused to give them to her.

The emperor's cousin had no choice but to pull her daughter apart, comfort both sides, and let him hug her daughter.

Yuan Zizhu was furious, but he still smiled politely:

"My hands are weak and I'm afraid I'll drop the child."

Upon hearing this, the empress joked, "You hunted white wolves at the age of nine, tamed wild horses at the age of ten, and now you are leading the Yuan family soldiers at the age of twelve. How could you not be able to hold a swaddled baby? Don't you like her?"

"Don't worry, sister. Even though I am not close to my niece, I will do my best to support her to ascend the throne and be a wise ruler."

"The title of niece is too formal. If Ran Xi is willing to support her, he can treat Wu You'er as his daughter... and train her as his apprentice."

Ever since Yuan Wuyou could remember, she knew that her uncle, who was twelve years older than her, was a real headache for her, but he had to take care of the baby.

After all, her mother was busy with state affairs and her father was busy with military affairs, so they always left her to be raised by her uncle and the teacher of the Imperial Academy.

Yuan Wuyou was raised in the Eastern Palace since she was a child. As she was the only child in the family, no one dared to get close to her, not to mention the children of aristocratic families, even her cousins.

Even if there were relatives and close ministers who took her out of the palace to play, after the empress found out, they were all taught not to lead the crown prince astray. Since then, Yuan Wuyou has no playmates. Only her uncle, who is twelve years older than her, is willing to play with her, and there is also a sense of voluntariness.

My uncle always said that he became a father before he grew up, but even when he complained, he would smile and immediately make up for it by saying:

"Don't say that uncle doesn't have children. Even if he does, he will bring his whole family to assist you and sister."
