I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 117
When the imperial doctor checked the Holy Master’s pulse, Xue Yuan stood aside and stared at them.
Gu Yuanbai felt worried and looked ugly because he had been smoking Xixia national incense for more than ten days. Xue Yuan only thought that he was feeling unwell. He stood aside like a cold-faced King of Hell, with a stern chin and a whiff of air-conditioning.
The imperial doctor checked his pulse and affirmed in the eyes of the two masters: “I can guarantee with my life that the Holy Sage’s body bones have not been immersed in the medicine mixed with these spices.”
Gu Yuanbai said: “This is called poison.”
The imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “Yes, that’s poison.”
The imperial doctor couldn’t understand the word “addiction” and didn’t know what “side effects” were. He only knew that there was no poison in it that killed people, only drugs that made people feel energetic. This is the reality. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Five Stones were spread among the upper class, and no one was willing to break them even if the person died.
They don’t know the dangers and don’t believe how terrible it is.
Gu Yuanbai asked all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to look at his body one by one, and drew a conclusion from their words: He had not yet reached the level of addiction.
It was precisely because of his weak body that he had such a big reaction in just a few days. If he had been unable to detect it for many years, he would have been tricked without even realizing it.
When Gu Yuanbai thought of this, he felt chilled and angry at the same time. Until he fell asleep, he lay on the bed, his hands still shaking with anger.
Xue Yuan poured him a cup of warm tea, glanced at the white jade hand that was trembling slightly on the silk quilt, his eyelids jumped a few times, and he held it, “What are you afraid of?”
Gu Yuanbai squeezed out the words through his teeth: “I am angry.”
He looked like he wanted to eat the meat alive, and there was a surge of cruelty in his eyes. “The plot is very big, and the method is very disgusting. How big an appetite do you have, and you are not afraid of bursting your belly in one breath?”
Xue Yuan looked around, and the people in the palace retreated one after another. He began to unbutton his robe, and the rustling sound disturbed Gu Yuanbai’s thoughts. When Gu Yuanbai looked up, he saw that he had taken off his outer robe and was about to take off his middle coat.
“what are you doing.”
Xue Yuan kept going and took off his thick clothes until he was just in single clothes, “I will sleep with you now.”
He went out again and asked Tian Fusheng to bring him a basin of hot water. He sat on the edge of the dragon bed and took off his boots to soak his feet. Gu Yuanbai kicked him in the back, which gave him a headache. “Xue Jiuyao, why are you so shameless?” ?”
Xue Jiuyao received this kick and remained unmoved. He went out with the footbath and came back with wet hands and face. “Your Majesty, I have washed myself clean. Can I go to the dragon bed again?”
He was still asking questions, but he had already climbed onto the bed.
“Xue Jiuyao, even a sword can’t penetrate your face,” Gu Yuanbai said, “I care about your food and housing, I’m not asking you to live on the dragon bed.”
Xue Yuan pretended to be deaf and dumb, picked up the hem of his clothes and wiped the water droplets from his face, and his strong abdomen came into Gu Yuanbai’s eyes. Gu Yuanbai took a second look. Such a good figure was forged through repeated polishing and tempering. Everywhere he had seen countless flashes of swords and swords, like a wolf head charging up strength, just looking at it Knowing the powerful power contained in it, there are several hard pieces.
As he moved, a scar appeared vaguely on his waistline. Gu Yuanbai couldn’t help but lean forward and lightly touch the scar.
Xue Yuan paused, raised his face from his clothes, and looked at him seriously.
The little emperor emerged from the quilt with his black hair disheveled, and the anger and cruelty on his face disappeared without knowing when. He put one hand on the bed and half-crouched up. The quilt was rising and falling, and the silk and satin clothes covered him tightly, but Such an expression and such an atmosphere are like…the little daughter-in-law leaning out of the quilt.
“Don’t touch.” The voice was hoarse.
Fortunately, the little emperor is one of our own, the emperor of Daheng. If he were an enemy, lying in front of Xue Yuan like this before the battle, Xue Yuan would almost lose all vigilance, and a child could take the opportunity to stab Xue Yuan to death on the bed.
Gu Yuanbai looked along the scar to the back of his waist, but the rest was buried in the clothes behind him, “Turn around and let me have a look.”
Xue Yuan said “ugly”, but he turned around honestly, lifted his clothes, and his broad back was exposed in front of Gu Yuanbai.
This scar runs from the front of the waist to the back, showing how ferocious it is. Gu Yuanbai looked at the size and color of the wound, and could imagine what kind of blow this knife cut by the common people would have brought to Xue Yuan, who was fashionable and young at the time.
His eyes moved to Xue Yuan’s back.
There were no other wounds on his back. Xue Yuan protected it very well, leaving a large area for Gu Yuanbai to scratch.
Gu Yuanbai thought of what he said and couldn’t help but raise his hand and draw a white mark on Xue Yuan’s back.
Xue Yuan trembled all over. He couldn’t bear it anymore. He turned around and threw Gu Yuanbai on the bed.
The bed made a soft, muffled sound.
Gu Yuanbai fell on the thick quilt, Xue Yuan’s hand was pillowed under his head, and there was a buzz in his head, “Go crazy?”
Xue Yuan turned over, hugged Gu Yuanbai and lay on him. The quilt was raised and covered the two of them firmly, “It’s evening, Your Majesty, if you don’t want to sleep, I will massage your legs.” ”
Gu Yuanbai wanted to get off him, but Xue Yuan held his waist. He was too lazy to move. He comfortably used Xue Yuan as a pillow and said, “Press.”
Outside the hall, Tian Fusheng was guarding the door. From time to time, he heard the dull sound of several bed frames coming from the inner hall, and his expression suddenly changed, driving the others further away.
I was worried in my heart and thought to myself, Your Majesty, please don’t torment Mr. Xue too much.
Of course the people in the house don’t know what the old slave outside is thinking. Xue Yuan’s hand went down along the waist and pressed the flesh of Gu Yuanbai’s thigh with just the right amount of force. Gu Yuanbai sighed and almost closed his eyes.
“Master Bai,” Xue Yuan asked, “what is addiction? Can it kill people?”
Gu Yuanbai: “It’s more terrifying than killing people.”
Xue Yuan frowned and listened attentively.
Gu Yuanbai explained to him in detail the dangers of addictive substances. His tone was casual, as if it was a trivial matter, but Xue Yuan’s expression became more and more serious, mixed with a bit of gloom.
If Gu Yuanbai hadn’t discovered it, wouldn’t it mean that Gu Yuanbai would also become a puppet in the hands of the people behind the scenes?
Just thinking about it makes me feel so angry that I want to drag out the person behind the scenes.
His expression was obvious. Gu Yuanbai laughed and his eyes deepened, “I also want to know who is behind it. The net is spread so wide that I am not afraid of breaking in half halfway.”
“If it is true as the Holy One said, the harm of addiction is so serious that it would make people crazy and obey its orders and control it,” Xue Yuan said, his tone became dangerous, “Isn’t Xixia already dead in name only?”
Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes, thinking of the tragic situation in history, and repeated it again: “From the emperor to the wealthy officials… they have indeed existed in name only.”
Terrified and heartbroken.
How many years did the people or the country behind it take to get to this point?
The two were silent for a while. After a while, Xue Yuan hugged Gu Yuanbai and placed him on the pillow. Gu Yuanbai said displeased: “Am I still suppressing you?”
Xue Yuan didn’t say anything, he just got into the quilt and gave the Holy Master a good massage from his neck to his feet.
The quilt was wrinkled and the Holy Emperor curled up his fingers in comfort. He squeezed the quilt for an hour and groaned several times.

The next day, Gu Yuanbai asked the Taiyuan Hospital to check the ingredients used to make Xixia Guoxiang. And with absolute strength, a team of troops was sent to the coast to trace the source of the spices, accompanied by civil and military officials, to ban the spread of spices across the board, destroying every one in sight, leaving no residue.
I would rather have a bloody storm than tolerate this kind of thing spreading within Daheng.
Ban, must ban! Check, check hard!
Even if they are able to alert the enemy, Daheng has always been the overlord among the surrounding countries. Gu Yuanbai dared to do this because he had the confidence. It would be best to alert the mastermind behind the scenes and make him mess around.
Although the imperial doctors and ministers did not stop it because of the emperor’s power, they still felt that the emperor was making a fuss out of a molehill and there was really no need to mobilize troops and go to war like this.
They always feel that this matter is not serious. The imperial doctor also said that this fragrance is just to refresh the mind. Xixia dares to regard it as the national fragrance. Are the Xixia people stupid enough to take poison to themselves?
The ministers also secretly warned Gu Yuanbai many times that it was enough to find the source of the spices, so why bother to spend so much effort to ban them? But the emperor, who always listened to advice, was extremely tough this time. Once such an attitude is revealed, many people do not say anything, but worry arises in their hearts.
The emperor has been in power for two years and has managed Daheng in an orderly manner. Could it be that he has become arrogant and unable to listen to advice?
Gu Yuanbai not only sent people to suppress drugs, but also used some small tricks in the capital to make half of the Xixia envoys infected with cold, prolonging their stay in Daheng.
The Xixia people wanted to leave, but a cold wind could kill someone. For the sake of their own lives, they still stayed in the capital for treatment.
The Holy Emperor was very concerned about this and specially sent the imperial physician to the post station to treat the Xixia people.
“Let them not be able to leave Daheng within two months. It is best to stay in the inn all day long and not be able to go anywhere.” Gu Yuanbai ordered the imperial doctors. “If their health and bones are good and they recover quickly, then we will find ways to to aggravate the condition.”
The imperial doctors had beads of sweat on their foreheads and engraved every word of the Holy Master in their minds, “Yes, yes, I understand.”
After giving orders one by one, the people from the Supervision Office turned their guns and rushed into Xixia to investigate secretly. The garrison at the border also had to be alert. Gu Yuanbai didn’t believe that the people behind the scenes could react to his sudden move.
Xue Yuan gloated and asked: “If the Xixia people’s cold is cured within two months, what will the Holy Father do?”
“They’d better recover slowly,” Gu Yuanbai chuckled and glanced at him, “if they don’t want to break their legs.”
The Xixia people survived and successfully contracted the wind-chill. Under the diagnosis and treatment of the Tai Hospital, the wind-chill gradually became serious. After half a month, they were already lying in bed and could not even get out of bed.
The imperial doctors who came to treat them all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts and stared at the Xixia people every day. If anyone showed signs of improvement, they would rush forward and find a way to prevent them from being able to lift their hands.
After a while, while the Xixia people were curing the cold, the martial arts competition held every five years in Daheng finally started with great vigor.
Along with the award of the martial arts examination, there is also the imperial decree that the rule of martial arts examination every five years will be changed to one every three years. In addition, the assessment of the martial arts examination will be divided into more details. Master Lu should take more tests What, and what the navy should take exams for, were all revealed to the people one by one as the court posted them.
Gu Yuanbai was originally in no hurry about naval construction. In his impression, no one would pay attention to maritime resources at all now. Britain is still very small today, in the chaotic and dark Middle Ages, and the Native Americans are still in primitive society. In today’s world, China is the first.
But he believed so much in the subconscious history that he forgot that the history here has changed since Daheng appeared.
This is not the world he lives in, this is a brand new world where all possibilities will appear.
As long as this incense enters Daheng from the outside, there will inevitably be a day when war breaks out at sea.
Gu Yuanbai was late in preparing, but he discovered the enemy’s conspiracy in advance. With Daheng’s confidence, even if he didn’t win, he might not lose. Daheng’s engineering department has never stopped studying ships.
Gu Yuanbai was very patient. While he was watching the martial arts competition to see if he could pick out any good signs, he was also waiting to see if the enemy who was cowering behind Xixia would be in chaos.
Come on, I’m waiting for you.
