I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 101
The Xixia envoy already understood the reason of the matter when he was pressed by the imperial army on his way to see the emperor.
Li Angshun looked calm and followed the imperial army away without any struggle. When they entered the palace, the assassins who were ordered by him to kidnap Chu Wei and talk to him were kneeling on the ground in a mess, with stains of blood on their clothes.
Li Angshun, who had been expressionless until he saw them, suddenly changed his expression. I wanted to go up and grab them by the collar and yell: How dare you swing a knife at him, who asked you to arrest the emperor? !
But he didn’t say anything after all, but knelt on the ground with a gloomy face.
Gu Yuanbai had lost his gentle face when facing envoys in the past, and said in a deep voice: “Li Angshun, the Seventh Prince of Xixia.”
Li Angshun looked up and saw no wounds on his body. Only then did he confirm that the people he sent had indeed not hurt the emperor of Daheng.
It’s good that he wasn’t injured, he couldn’t help but think.
Emperor Daheng’s tone was good, and he just explained Li Angshun’s intention to send people to assassinate him one by one. The ministers standing on both sides looked even more indifferent than on the day of the discussion. After the Holy Emperor finished speaking, there were officials standing He came out and denounced Xixia’s evil intentions with fierce words and demanded compensation.
Xixia was in trouble and couldn’t express it, and she didn’t know how to refute it at all. But when they heard the amount of compensation requested by Daheng later, their faces turned green.
This assassination incident did not come to an end until nightfall. The Xixia envoys will be placed under house arrest in Mingshengyi. They wrote letters asking for help and sent them to Xixia together with Daheng’s compensation clauses.
When everything was about to end, Li Angshun suddenly wanted to ask for a word with the Holy Father. Gu Yuanbai lay on his back on the dragon chair, touched the jade ring on his finger, looked at him for a while, and said expressionlessly: “Come forward.”
The Prince of Xixia was followed by the imperial army and walked forward. He looked at Gu Yuanbai with complicated eyes, “The foreign minister did not let anyone assassinate you.”
You didn’t quibble just now, now are you quibbling?
Gu Yuanbai couldn’t understand his brain circuit, and he was already in a bad mood. At this time, he showed some indifference and impatience, “Oh? So when these assassins stabbed at me, I just saw it wrong? ”
Li Angshun: “These people were indeed appointed by the foreign minister, but whether you believe it or not, the foreign minister did not let them hurt you.”
The prince of Xixia is very strange.
He didn’t seem to hold a grudge against Gu Yuanbai.
Gu Yuanbai was almost unmoved and said, “Take him down.”
The prince of Xixia turned around and left with a sullen face. Chu Wei was really a disaster, and it was all because of him that he ended up in this situation.
The way Emperor Daheng looked like this, it was clear that he didn’t believe what he said.
After everyone left, Gu Yuanbai asked: “What time is it?”
“It’s almost Xu time.” Tian Fusheng said.
Gu Yuanbai stood up and glanced at him. Tian Fusheng had already packed up all the letters and would send them to Northern Xinjiang at dawn the next day.
The Holy Father thought of something, “That handkerchief, that note, anything that has nothing to do with the border war, please return it all to me.”
Tian Fusheng immediately said: “Yes, I’ll take care of the little one now.”
Gu Yuanbai lowered his eyebrows and walked all the way back to the palace.
He was happy when he used the Xixia envoy as a punching bag, and his anger was suppressed. But now in the dead of night, when no one made a sound, the anger of being tricked came back.
Every move Xue Yuan made towards Gu Yuanbai was as if he wanted to give his heart to Gu Yuanbai.
But now I look at it, haha.
Gu Yuanbai was rarely played by others, whether before or now. After becoming the monarch of Daheng, Xue Yuan was the first person to play tricks on him.
Gu Yuanbai, who was very suspicious, almost really believed that Xue Yuan liked him, but at this moment, the connection between the male protagonist and the subject in the original text suddenly appeared, and “bang” made Gu Yuanbai think about it. , the world he lives in is a book.
The two protagonists in the original text still seem like they were made for each other.
interesting.
Xue Yuan is so damn interesting.
Gu Yuanbai slept a little angry that night. When I got up the next day, my throat hurt from the anger, and I had difficulty swallowing tea. But when he was lying on the bed with his eyes closed to rest, Gu Yuanbai suddenly figured it out.
It’s good, it’s good that the two of them are the right ones to be together.
But Xue Yuan had better be self-aware and know clearly what he can and cannot do. Since he and Chu Wei are already in a relationship, then he shouldn’t go back and forth in front of Gu Yuanbai, secretly doing one thing and doing the other openly. Is it fun to play tricks on Gu Yuanbai?
Gu Yuanbai is a good young man in society, and more importantly, he has been prostituted by Xue Yuan. He does not deserve to be chased thousands of miles after being fooled once. But it is best for Xue Yuan to give Gu Yuanbai an explanation. If there is no explanation, if he still dares to send those loving letters to Gu Yuanbai openly, then Gu Yuanbai will tighten his grip on such a person.
Death is not a pity.
Tian Fusheng was packing his things and said with a trembling voice: “Your Majesty, the jadeite finger ring given by Mr. Xue——”
“Send it back,” Gu Yuanbai’s eyebrows were blocked by the mist in the tea, and his expression could not be seen, “throw it to him, and I will let him keep it for his future wife.”
Gu Yuanbai doesn’t plan to continue prostitution with Xue Yuan.
Not interesting.

Winter passes quickly, as if more than ten days can pass in the blink of an eye.
In January, the twelfth lunar month of winter, just over twenty days before the Chinese New Year, the last batch of letters sent from the capital to northern Xinjiang finally reached the hands of the generals.
The people at the post station had their faces covered with snow, and layers of clothes could not block the cold air. They were shivering from the cold, and said to General Xue: “General, this is the last time our post station came to deliver a message years ago. , If you want to send a letter, you have to wait until after the new year, when the official will come here to receive the letter again. ”
This letter is naturally a regular letter, not a memorial about the war in Northern Xinjiang. General Xue said with a smile: “Okay, I will note it down.”
After the people at the inn left, someone came up to check and asked in surprise: “Why are they all sent to Xue Jiuyao?”
Xue Yuan stood aside casually, not thinking that he would receive a reply at all. When I heard this, my eyelids jumped, and I strode forward to take a look. No, there was a piece of paper with the word Xue Yuan attached to it on the top of the big baggage.
Is this big burden sent to him?
Xue Yuan was a little unsure. It would be great if Gu Yuanbai could reply to him. With this attitude, could it be that something personal that he had been thinking about was also sent to Northern Xinjiang?
This burden was so big that everyone gathered around Xue Yuan. Mixed with jealousy and envy, he said: “Good boy, this is how much your family misses you, so how many letters have they sent you?”
Old General Xue held two or three thin family letters in his hand, feeling embarrassed and looking at Xue Yuan with great displeasure, “Did your mother send it to you?”
Xue Yuan’s eyelids twitched several times, his mood mixed with disbelief and flatterment. He hugged the bundle and walked out, “I’ll go take a look.”
Xue Yuan returned to his tent in three steps and then closed the door tightly. He went to unpack the bag excitedly. It was impossible for Gu Yuanbai to reply to him one letter after another. Did such a heavy thing even include the clothes Gu Yuanbai was wearing?
Do you have any used handkerchiefs? Silver chopsticks that wiped lips?
Before he unpacked the baggage, Xue Yuan seemed to smell the fragrance next to Gu Yuanbai.
It was long, rich and noble. Xue Yuan could almost drown in this fragrance.
This is definitely what was sent from the palace.
Xue Yuan’s lips curled up into a smile, his brows raised, and his expression was high. As soon as the bag was opened, an emerald green jade ring rolled out first.
Xue Yuan’s eyes narrowed and he followed the jade ring that rolled away. He reached out and picked it up in time.
This jade ring looks very familiar. Isn’t it what he gave to Gu Yuanbai?
Xue Yuan had some bad premonitions in his heart. He held the jade ring in his hand and dug through the baggage. Everything looked very familiar. They were all letters he had sent to Gu Yuanbai.
There was a piece of clothing inside, but that clothing was Xue Yuan’s clothing. It was Xue Yuan’s clothing that Gu Yuanbai borrowed when he took shelter from the rain in Xue Mansion.
Xue Yuan clenched the clothes tightly, frowning deeply. He buried his face in the clothes, and when he inhaled, he seemed to be able to inhale the breath of Gu Yuanbai’s body and the cool and cold humidity of that rainy day.
Why were all the things he gave to Gu Yuanbai sent back?
Do you dislike Siwandan’s head and are you frightened?
Also, Xue Yuan thought, when his hand that had touched his head was about to peel lychees for Gu Yuanbai, Gu Yuanbai even thought his hands were unclean.
I thought so, but the anxiety in my heart became deeper and deeper. Xue Yuan’s jaw became stiff as he rummaged through the contents of the bag one by one.
Finally, he found a letter from Tian Fusheng at the bottom.
Tian Fusheng wrote down the two sentences that the Holy One said to him in the letter and told Mr. Crime treatment. Second, since Mr. Xue, you have asked for this jade ring, the Holy One has sent someone to send it back to you. The Holy One has told you to give it to your future wife.
The language Tian Fusheng wrote in the letter was as tactful as possible, but he directly copied the Holy Master’s original words.
Xue Yuan was dumbfounded after reading the letter.
He clutched the clothes worn by His Majesty and looked at the envelopes filled with his thoughts on the floor, completely confused.
He lowered his head and read Tian Fusheng’s letter five, six, or more than a dozen times. He read it over and over again, and even started to read it backwards. However, no matter how he read it, he still couldn’t figure out why Gu Yuanbai said these two sentences.
Could it be that the words in his letter were too bold and unrestrained, which angered Gu Yuanbai?
But he had been so bold a long time ago. Didn’t he also get intimate with Gu Yuanbai when he rushed back to the capital? After touching and kissing him, Gu Yuanbai also asked him to bow his head and serve him. How would such a person be so angry because of the obscene words in the letter?
On the way back, we were still escorted thousands of miles away. What happened now?
The more Xue Yuan thought about it, the uglier his face became. The veins on the back of his hands burst out, and the jade ring in his palm made an unbearable creaking sound.
He was awakened by the sound, lowered his head and opened his hand. Fortunately, the emerald jade ring ring was not broken, and it was still in the palm of his hand.
Xue Yuan put this jade ring on his hand. His palm was larger than Gu Yuanbai’s palm, and his phalanges were also larger than Gu Yuanbai’s. The jade ring on Gu Yuanbai’s thumb was looser. He put it on his other finger.
Xue Yuan stood up, his eyebrows suppressed.
Who said anything to Gu Yuanbai?
Who told Gu Yuanbai something bad about Xue Yuan?
Who on earth said what kind of words that could make Gu Yuanbai send these things back with great force.
An undercurrent surged in Xue Yuan’s heart, and the more he thought about it, the deeper he thought.
who is it?
