I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 122
Half a month later.
Mr. Wang walked from the alley to the back of the kitchen. A moment later, the vendor delivering ingredients to Prince He’s Mansion appeared here. The vendor whispered: “Sir, the person you were waiting for still didn’t appear at the place you mentioned.”
Mr. Wang frowned, gave the merchant money, and asked him to continue waiting.
eccentric. Logically speaking, the spices from the coast should not be discontinued for such a long time. It has been half a month now, and there are not many spices left in the house. Seeing that he and the prince are about to notice something is wrong with their bodies, Mr. Wang is anxious, but even more anxious , is worried that big things will change.
After another half a month, Mr. Wang tried his best to finally get the news from the outside.
The emperor already knew about the poisonous incense, and the spices along the coast were banned. The navy was stationed in Haikou, and an attack was imminent.
Beads of sweat broke out on Mr. Wang’s forehead. He burned the letter and looked at the master bedroom in the prince’s house with dark eyes.
The late Emperor Daheng had two sons. One is the current emperor, and the other is the world-renowned prince. They originally thought that it would be beneficial for them to have Gu Lian sit on the throne. After all, an emperor with soft ears, no courage, a weak body and a short lifespan could not have more soldiers than Gu Zhao. A powerful, young and healthy prince is easy to deal with.
But no one expected that it would be Gu Lian who was difficult to deal with.
Gu Lian was too ambitious and ruthless. He and the late emperor were completely different people. But Gu Lian has a weakness that cannot be hidden or erased, and that is his body that may die at any time.
When the emperor of Daheng died unexpectedly, who else could be in charge except He and the prince?
But the prince is not that easy to deal with.
Therefore, we can only find a way to control Prince He and turn a prince who is difficult to deal with into an easy prince to deal with.
Prince He was strong and vigilant, so Mr. Wang rarely had the chance to use spices. It wasn’t until a rainy day a year ago that Prince He returned to his house in embarrassment with blood on his feet. Mr. Wang was not found until then. a chance.
In those days, he always listened to the princess’s request and went to persuade the prince. As soon as the spices were burned, the prince was uneasy.
The spice dragged the prince into the ethereal world. When the prince’s eyes were blank and his mouth was slightly open, Mr. Wang took a step forward and listened to what the prince said.
“Gu Lian, put on your shoes.”
Mr. Wang wanted to know more, so he lit a dozen more incense sticks. The bedroom was filled with smoke, and the light fragrance slowly became richer.
In the midst of such a rich fragrance, Prince He frequently dreamed of Gu Yuanbai.
He didn’t know about spices, he just felt that Gu Yuanbai seemed to be everywhere, it was him when he opened his eyes, and he was also him when he closed his eyes. It was just the heat after drinking a few mouthfuls of deer blood. After those few days, it suddenly turned into dirty thoughts that could not be seen in the light.
Such thoughts made Gu Zhao feel like he was struggling in a pool of mud. The harder he moved, the faster he sank.
As soon as Bairi turned his head, he saw Gu Yuanbai who was smiling cleverly. After going to bed, you will also see Gu Yuanbai sitting on the side of the bed, bending down to take off his shoes and socks.
His hair passed through his fair neck on both sides, and his back curved into a slender arc arched by a full moon. When he saw Prince He looking at him, he raised his eyes and raised his head with a half-smile, “My Good brother, what are you looking at me?”
Day by day, Prince He was blushing and completely lost in such hallucinations. Only by covering his head with a quilt can he slow down his beating heart for a moment and let Gu Yuanbai’s brain, which is full of energy, rest for a few moments.
It was then that Mr. Wang learned the secret of the prince.
He was overjoyed, and secretly continued to guide the prince and his thoughts about the emperor. All the paintings about the Holy Emperor in the prince’s secret room were mixed with spices when coloring them. The more he looked at them and smelled them for a long time, the more he would appear again. not coming. A prince who is addicted to drugs and has leverage in their hands is simply perfect material to be an emperor.
Mr. Wang looked at the master bedroom with the prince for a while, then turned and left from the path.
Everything went well, except that Gu Lian was too keen. He had already found out the spice line. If he didn’t do something, he might never have a chance to turn things around again.
Now, it has come to a critical moment when Gu Lian deserves to die and the prince ascends the throne.

The Xixia envoy’s wind-chill finally recovered at the end of the month.
At the same time, the news that Gu Yuanbai sent the Supervision Office to Xixia to inquire about it also reached him first.
It was noon, and the meal had been served. Gu Yuanbai took his time and finished the meal properly before standing up, wiping his hands and receiving the news from Tian Fusheng.
The situation in Xixia is said to be serious, and it is indeed serious. But if it’s not serious, it’s still reasonable.
What’s interesting is that, except for the few idiot sons of the Xixia emperor, the princes who were highly respected and favored by all the officials actually imbibed the national fragrance of Xixia in order to please their father.
Isn’t it interesting? Very interesting.
When the second prince of Xixia made up a story for Gu Yuanbai, he made it clear. Only after he knew that this thing was harmful did he realize that the trend was unstoppable. Gu Yuanbai has always wanted to know how he knew that this thing was harmful, and how he knew that this thing was related to Fusang.
He could have not told Gu Yuanbai these words, or he could have told the lie more cleverly, but he did it deliberately, as if to leave two or three gaps for Gu Yuanbai to exploit, allowing Gu Yuanbai to come and go deep inside. Check the same.
“Go and invite the Second Prince of Xixia,” Gu Yuanbai smiled and burned the news on the candle. “These things may be what they want me to know.”
Tian Fusheng was confused, “Your Majesty, this is the information that our Supervision Office personally found out.”
Gu Yuanbai shook his head, “Spies from other countries came to Daheng in just two months. Do you think they can find out such detailed and accurate information?”
Tian Fusheng was stumped and speechless.
“Even if the Supervision Office is much better than others, it can’t reach this speed,” Gu Yuanbai said. “These information are so detailed. It’s better to say that they found it out than it was a gift from the second prince of Xixia to me.”
It’s just to make his words full of flaws. When Gu Yuanbai goes to investigate in person, he will present hundreds of flaws with both hands as a means to win Gu Yuanbai’s trust.

The second prince of Xixia came very quickly.
Gu Yuanbai was too lazy to talk to him. After being given a seat, he said: “Second Prince, if you want me to help you, you must be sincere.”
Li Angyi smiled slightly, “It’s not that I’m insincere, but it’s because the Holy One found out these things and the Holy One saw it as truth, so he believed what I said.”
Gu Yuanbai sneered in his heart, I looked up the news you released to believe your words, do I look that stupid?
There was a slight smile on his face and he didn’t answer.
Li Angyi coughed lightly, stood up and saluted, “Please listen to me one by one.”
“Tea,” Gu Yuanbai said, “please.”
Li Angyi’s eyes flashed with memories and he spoke slowly.
According to what he said, his mother once saved the life of a merchant before entering the palace. The merchant donated tens of thousands of gold to Li Ang Yi. After Li Ang Yi’s mother passed away, the merchant transferred this kindness to Li Ang Yi. Because Li Ang Yi was struggling every step of the way and faced difficulties in the palace, the merchant gave a gift to Li Ang Yi before his death. A life-saving thing was given to Li Angyi.
Li Angyi smiled. The thick clouds outside the hall blocked the sun, and the light dimmed. He said: “That thing is the sale of Xixia national incense.”
Gu Yuanbai narrowed his eyes and said, “Continue.”
“At first I just thought it was an ordinary spice,” Li Angyi said calmly, even smiling helplessly, “Who would have thought that there is such a thing in the world? When I first sold spices, I was fascinated by the wealth in them. I was dizzy. Maybe I had some doubts or thoughts that were inappropriate, but in front of the gold and silver treasures, these became nothing.”
“I made it bigger and bigger, and sold more and more, so many people in the palace began to use these refreshing spices. No one in Moyu would have thought that the most incompetent and weak second son of Xixia The prince is actually the richest person in Xixia,” Li Angyi said. “It’s a bit funny to say it.”
Gu Yuanbai laughed twice and said abruptly: “You have accumulated enough wealth to seek the throne, and you want to win over the forces that can support you. At this moment, you suddenly realize that an emperor of Xixia cannot secretly sell his countrymen. This is so harmful to Guoxiang. That’s why you want to stop and suddenly realize the harm of Guoxiang. You want to form an alliance with me, not for Xixia, but to eliminate you from their hands. The handle can’t be used to control you, so you can easily and cleanly fight for the throne and be a good prince who can eliminate great harm for the country and the people. ”
Li Angyi paused and laughed for a while, “Your words shocked me.”
Gu Yuanbai raised his brows, raised his pale lips, and said jokingly: “Isn’t this the case with the second prince?”
Li Angyi sighed and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. “As soon as your words spread, I will be drowned by the people of Xixia one by one.”
“I can’t drown you.” Gu Yuanbai also picked up the tea bowl and lowered his eyes. The cup covered the look in his eyes, “I just said it casually.”
Later, Gu Yuanbai and Li Angyi talked about spices again, and within a moment, Li Angyi resigned and left.
Gu Yuanbai silently drank half a cup of tea and called the imperial doctor who went to the post house to treat the Xixia people in front of him, “Are you all cured?”
The imperial doctor replied: “Go back to your Majesty, I have already cured him.”
Gu Yuanbai asked them to go back and called Xue Yuan.
Xue Yuan saluted solemnly: “Your Majesty?”
“Go and break the legs of the second prince of Xixia,” Gu Yuanbaifeng said calmly, “You have to find a reason to keep him in Daheng.”
The second prince of Xixia is Taiyin. You can’t believe everything he says. Believing only three achievements is the limit. Gu Yuanbai still needs to investigate further. Only after the investigation is clear will he know whether this partner is a sheep or a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
