I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 124
Li Angyi held up a sick leg and walked to the door to respectfully see the Lord off.
Gu Yuanbai walked far away, and suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked back. Li Angyi was still standing there, still seeing him off respectfully.
The long distance blurred the expressions on the two faces, but Li Angyi looked as if his right leg had never been broken, and his back was slightly hunched, no different from before.
As long as he doesn’t move, others can’t see through him.
Gu Yuanbai turned back and boarded the carriage. Tian Fusheng accidentally glanced and saw the Holy Master’s eyes narrowing slightly and the corners of his lips twirling the jade finger. Tian Fusheng quickly lowered his head, the Holy Master clearly had murderous intentions.
Two years ago, the Holy Emperor had this look on his face when he executed Lu Feng.
The carriage started to move slowly and slowly disappeared behind the corner of the street. Li Angyi was still standing at the gate, with the attendant behind him supporting him and whispering: “Your Highness, why don’t you hide?”
“Hide?” Li Angyi smiled and patted his right leg, “A broken leg saved a life. Isn’t this deal worth it?”
Attendant: “This is a broken leg.”
“But to reassure the emperor,” Li Angyi narrowed his eyes and was helped to walk to the bedroom. “If I hide, my life will be completely taken away by Emperor Daheng.”
Emperor Daheng was indeed decisive in killing, and he had already put his own hands on it, but Gu Lian still didn’t believe him.

Gu Yuanbai’s carriage arrived at the shipyard of the Ministry of Industry.
The Minister of Industry and the left and right ministers were already waiting here, accompanying the Lord to look at the recently built building ships, chariots and ships, sea falcons and other maritime warships.
These behemoths appeared in front of them. Looking up, they were amazed and amazed.
Ancient shipbuilding technology was world-class. This was the reason why Gu Yuanbai dared to vigorously suppress drugs and send naval forces to the coast. There was no shortage of large warships, and small and medium-sized warships were even more stable. The winches installed on both sides of the vehicle and ship could move terrifyingly when turned. Crushing enemy ships into pieces in the deep sea.
Weapons matching the battleship were all equipped, and Gu Yuanbai looked over the specifications of the cannonballs and bows and arrows. Fire attack equipment must be prepared on every warship, and oil, a fuel, is indispensable.
Because the navy of the Tang Dynasty was powerful, the Ministry of Industry always had a lot of money to build ships. After Gu Yuanbai came to power, he invested millions and two million taels of money into it for shipbuilding materials. From the previous dynasty to the present, the number of warships that Daheng can take out to fight has to be counted in the thousands.
Even if Daheng’s ships are small and medium-sized, they can carry about two hundred soldiers in one boat. Traditional large warships such as the building ships can carry about five hundred soldiers in one boat.
Gu Yuanbai believed that even if a war broke out now, even if he would not win, he would not lose.
The only weakness is that the Daheng Navy has been abandoned for many years.
No matter how sharp the weapon is, if the person holding the weapon cannot exert its power, what’s the difference between a child holding a knife and an adult naked?
Gu Yuanbai naturally did not forget the naval training, but if the people behind Xixia had been preparing for decades, how could the soldiers he had supervised in just two years fight with others? In this battle, Daheng must be cautious and careful.
After coming out of the shipyard, Gu Yuanbai returned to the palace full of passion and fighting spirit. His expression was sharp, and his robes and feet were flying with each step. Xue Yuan glanced at him several times, always feeling like the little emperor was about to rush into the battlefield.
But the Holy Master walked a few steps quickly and felt a little breathless.
The pace slowed down, Gu Yuanbai turned his head and asked Tian Fusheng: “There is no news about Dr. Jiang’s great-uncle so far?”
Xue Yuan followed behind, and when he heard the words “Ms. Jiang”, he frowned slightly. After his teacher returned to the court, he specifically went to inquire about the woman who was rumored to be deeply in love with the Holy couple. The “female doctor” mentioned by the palace attendant should be this one.
Tian Fusheng lowered his voice: “Your Majesty, Dr. Jiang’s grandfather and uncle were separated while fleeing famine in Hebei. Our people have gone door to door to check, but there is no news yet, but Hebei is so big and there are so many remote places. It’s not surprising that the search is slower.”
“And these people who are fleeing famine will go wherever there is food to eat.” Tian Fusheng thought for a while, “Perhaps Dr. Jiang’s great-uncle has left Hebei long ago. The world is so big that it only covers the three surrounding provinces. We You can definitely find him.”
“They have been separated for forty years now,” Gu Yuanbai sighed with a calm expression, “Even if her great-uncle was only a spoon dancer at that time, he is already fifty years old now.”
Are you really alive?
This opportunity was so slim that Gu Yuanbai didn’t have much hope. But as long as there is a prescription to treat him in this world, more than one person must know it. What he wanted most was not Doctor Jiang’s great-uncle, but the medical skills in her great-uncle’s hands.
Books are sometimes easier to find than people.
Gu Yuanbai suddenly frowned, thoughtfully: “I seem to have heard the word Hebei a few days ago.”
“Jingchen Temple, a monk from a famous temple in Hebei,” Xue Yuan suddenly said, “I still remember it clearly. I stopped him in front of the courtyard before the rain fell that day. The monk’s words had a Hebei accent.”
Yes, Gu Yuanbai suddenly realized, and he asked casually: “How old does that monk look like?”
“You are still young,” Xue Yuan said, “but your answers are calm.”
Gu Yuanbai nodded lightly and did not ask any more questions.
When it was time to take a nap, Xue Yuan personally went up to help His Majesty go to bed and rest. He gently pulled the ribbon around His Majesty’s waist and asked in a low voice: “Your Majesty, who is this female doctor Jiang?”
“People from Lizhou.” Gu Yuanbai replied.
Xue Yuan quickly took off his belt, and the smooth and bright robes scattered like flowers blooming. He stood up and bent over, taking off the clothes at the shoulders of the Holy Master. “The Holy Master clearly knows that this is not what I want to ask.”
The arms were lifted and the robe was removed from the cuffs. Xue Yuanyuan was very close, his movements were slow, and Gu Yuanbai’s face brushed against his chest from time to time. Xue Yuan has been marching all year round, and he is a man who pays no attention to himself, but the smell on his body is not unpleasant. Instead, it has a unique smell, as if it is the smell of conflicts accumulated over many years.
The first smell is of windy sand, desert, and heavy fireworks.
Gu Yuanbai was in a trance until his fingertips were touched, “Her ancestors studied medicine, and the medical books are useful to me.”
Xue Yuan’s expression condensed, “I understand.”
The palace servants in the inner palace were all busy doing their own things, while the guards outside the palace stood upright with their backs to each other. Xue Yuan lowered his head, just in time to meet Gu Yuanbai’s raised face. The corners of their lips touched and then separated quickly.
This is clearly an affair.
Such an inadvertent collision aroused an itch. There is something missing in her lips, and she just wants the other person to lick it and bite it gently. The feeling in the memory was so comfortable that Gu Yuanbai wanted to pull Xue Yuan’s collar at this moment, force him to lower his head, and then forcefully kiss him. But if he did this, wouldn’t he be completely entangled by Xue Yuan?
Gu Yuanbai said he would not go whoring with Xue Yuan, so the previous few times of intimacy were not considered as his whoring. Now if you kiss someone and go whore, you will really be responsible.
Gu Yuanbai’s expression didn’t change, he didn’t want to take responsibility, “Go down.”
Xue Yuan’s eyes darkened, he touched his lips, and his chest began to lose weight again, beating like a few crazy wolves fighting against each other.
Standing still, reluctant to leave.
Gu Yuanbai lowered his head to adjust the hem of his clothes. Seeing that he was still not leaving, he raised his eyebrows and raised his head. He was about to laugh at him, but as soon as he raised his head, Xue Yuan leaned over and sucked hard on his lips. When his lips hurt, Xue Yuan stood up and strode away.
“…” Gu Yuanbai clicked his tongue and said softly, “I’m sick.”
He slowly got on the bed and was about to close his eyes and fall asleep. There were some hurried footsteps outside, and along with inaudible whispers, there was a sudden knock on the bedroom door.
The knocking on the door became more urgent and restless.
Gu Yuanbai had a bad premonition in his heart. He stood up from the bed quickly, his black hair hanging down behind him, scattered and messy.
“What?” He tightened his grip on the quilt.
The guard outside said in a tight voice, “Your Majesty, Concubine Wan, Concubine Wan…”
Gu Yuanbai took a deep breath and froze on the bed. He heard himself asking: “What’s wrong with Concubine Wan?”
“Concubine Wan is seriously ill and her life is in danger,” the guard said with difficulty. “The guards of the palace are waiting in the palace with waist badges.”
The world seemed to be quiet.
Gu Yuanbai was obviously sitting on the bed, but he seemed to be floating among the clouds, with no real place to stay. After a long while, he said: “I don’t believe it.”
This must be another little trick played by an enemy secretly. The palace was protected airtight by Gu Yuanbai’s people. The imperial doctor wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that Concubine Mingwan had rarely had some energy in recent days. How could she be in such critical condition?
Gu Yuanbai smiled, “Do you really think I can step into a trick twice?”
He wanted to get out of bed and punish the guards who dared to report false news. The quilt was lifted up and when his feet stepped on the ground, he suddenly felt weak and his head was dizzy.
Gu Yuanbai grabbed the bed frame fiercely, and the safety buckle tied beside the bed was hooked by his little finger and fell to the ground with a “snap” and shattered into pieces.
The door was violently knocked open, but in an instant, Gu Yuanbai was picked up by Xue Yuan. Gu Yuanbai looked at his little finger absentmindedly. How could he be so careless? It was so unlucky.
“Take me out.” The voice was hoarse.
Xue Yuan silently hugged Gu Yuanbai and walked out. The person kneeling outside was the person Gu Yuanbai sent to protect Concubine Wan. These people were loyal and loyal, and Gu Yuanbai trusted them very much, but when he saw them, the young and thin emperor’s eyes turned red and his face froze.
“Your Majesty,” the palace guards looked haggard and their eyes were bloodshot, “Tiffany Wan, she——”
“I don’t believe it,” Gu Yuanbai interrupted them calmly, “It’s not enough to lie to me once, you want to lie to me a second time? Come, prepare your horses, I have to rush to the palace as fast as possible.”
Tian Fusheng knelt down and risked his life to admonish: “Your Majesty, your body can’t bear it!”
Gu Yuanbai said: “Prepare your horse.”
The captain of the guard and his men also knelt on the ground, anxiously, “Please, Your Majesty, think twice!”
Of course they couldn’t stop Gu Yuanbai, but when Gu Yuanbai looked at the people kneeling on the ground, blood slowly dyed his expression red.
Concubine Wan was seriously ill. She might die tomorrow, or she might die before he got the news. Only by hurrying up can it be possible to rush over to see Concubine Wan for the last time. Why stop him?
Because of his body? Because of this useless body, is it impossible to even see Concubine Wan for the last time? !
Gu Yuanbai gritted his teeth, and the smell of blood filled his throat. His teeth trembled and he squeezed out word by word, “Xue Yuan, prepare your horse and take me to the palace.”
The whole hall was silent, no one dared to make a sound. Just when Gu Yuanbai thought that Xue Yuan would not make a sound, Xue Yuan suddenly turned around and returned to the inner hall with Gu Yuanbai in his arms. He found his cloak and shoes and socks, hugged the Holy One and walked quickly in front of everyone, saying concisely and concisely: ” Go now.”
Gu Yuanbai’s hand holding his neck slowly tightened, his shoulders and back trembling.
He didn’t look at the road under his feet. He only knew that Xue Yuan was walking very fast. He didn’t know how long he had walked, but he had already reached the stable and shouted: “Hongyun!”
The fierce horse roared several times. Gu Yuanbai turned around and was carried on Hongyun’s back by Xue Yuan. His shoes and socks were put on by a pair of warm and dry hands. A thick cloak covered his body. Xue Yuan got on the horse and pulled the reins. Yang.
The mane is flying and the cold wind is blowing. It was clear that the spring breeze was warm in June, but Gu Yuanbai felt extremely cold at this time. His fingers were so cold that he could not bend them.
The palace gates have faded, the bustling streets have faded, and the walls of the capital have faded.
Xue Yuan reached out from behind and held Gu Yuanbai’s stiff fingers.
“I have to see her one last time,” Gu Yuanbai murmured. “If I don’t see her here, I will never see her again, and she will never see me again.”
At that time, even if I traveled to the ends of the world, no matter how loudly I shouted, no matter how powerful or rich I was, I couldn’t get this side of Princess Wan.
This is the mother of the little emperor, and also his mother.
Xue Yuan said sonorously and forcefully: “See you.”
