I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 128
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses.
Mr. Wang’s heart trembled.
He looked into Gu Yuanbai’s eyes, filled with hatred and anger. Emperor Daheng’s anger was completely aroused by him, and he wanted to take the entire fusang to worship Concubine Wan’s spirit in heaven.
“You…” Mr. Wang clenched his hands and suppressed his regret, “I was the one who killed Concubine Wan. If you want to kill her, just kill me.”
“How can I kill you?” Gu Yuanbai smiled softly, “Who do you think you are?”
His chest gradually calmed down, but Mr. Wang became more and more excited. He was shocked by what Gu Yuanbai said. Mr. Wang didn’t want to see such a day, so he deceived himself and hit the cold knife on his neck, hoping that this would be the end of it. Even if he dies, there will still be hope that Fusang will not bear the wrath of Emperor Daheng because of him.
But Gu Yuanbai took back the knife in time.
The Holy One looked at him condescendingly, “Mr. Wang cannot die now. If you die, no one will be able to celebrate the victory of the coastal navy with me.”
The guards stepped forward and pulled Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang down. Mr. Wang’s face turned red. He struggled with all his strength and tried to throw himself at Gu Yuanbai, “Gu Lian, you have to die!”
The guard blocked Mr. Wang’s mouth, and the palace finally became quiet.
Gu Yuanbai put his fist into his fist and coughed, then handed the knife to Xue Yuan. Xue Yuan stepped forward and took it from him, then held his hand and led him to the seat.
Xue Yuan’s every move was made carefully, for no other reason than because Gu Yuanbai’s hands were too weak. It was so white that the fluctuation of blood vessels was clearly visible, as if it would break in the hand with just a little force.
Gu Yuanbai felt that he seemed to have left a shadow on Xue Yuan.
Even now, Xue Yuan has to look at him all the time, and would rather not eat or drink than want Gu Yuanbai to leave his eyes. If Gu Yuanbai showed a somewhat fragile look, he would show an expression… an expression that would make Gu Yuanbai’s breath stop when he saw it.
After sitting down, Gu Yuanbai rested for a long time, then raised his eyelids and looked at Prince He.
The corners of Prince He’s mouth were pursed hard and straight, his fingers dropped, and he remained silent.
“Prince He,” Gu Yuanbai said in a low voice, “Look, this is the guest in your house.”
After waking up from a coma, Gu Yuanbai suddenly remembered the smell of spices that day in the study room with the prince.
On the surface, Prince He was the late emperor’s biological son who had been fostered by his brother in his early years. He was the eldest son of the late emperor. If a foreign enemy wanted to take action against Gu Yuanbai, Prince He was indeed the best successor.
This is the reason why Gu Yuanbai will not give Prince He military power.
After Gu Yuanbai figured it out, he sent people to closely monitor Prince He’s Mansion, and conducted investigations in all directions with Prince He as the center. Mr. Wang was careful, but in the end he couldn’t hide from Gu Yuanbai’s eyes.
His every move seemed to be in front of his eyes. When Prince He asked for an order to enter the palace, Gu Yuanbai’s people secretly approached Prince He and gave him a chance to make amends.
Finally, Prince He found a secret medicine in Mr. Wang’s room, and some evidence that Mr. Wang secretly cooperated with Daheng officials.
These evidences were evidence that Mr. Wang left behind to prevent officials from rebelling. In the end, they became evidence that Gu Yuanbai convicted these officials.
As for the secret medicine, after Concubine Wan died, a palace attendant who had been with her for more than twenty years also committed suicide the next day. His death was the same as after taking the secret medicine. Gu Yuanbai What else don’t you understand?
His mother-in-law was indeed in poor health, and she did not have long to live.
But he shouldn’t be killed by such insidious means.
Prince He’s voice was dry and hoarse, “I apologize.”
“It’s time to apologize,” Gu Yuanbai blinked slowly, “After Wang Taiwei’s behavior, no matter what I do to you, it makes me seem so petty. Although you are a little reckless and stupid, but At least you can make a clear distinction in important matters. I will give you two choices, either you can be imprisoned in the Prince’s Mansion until death, or you can go to Northern Xinjiang and do something that no one is willing to do, and stay in Northern Xinjiang forever. The guardian of the earth.”
Gu Yuanbai was almost harsh, “I will not give you military power. You will always be under the command of the general army, where you will grow old, sick and die. Without my edict, you are not allowed to enter the capital.”
Prince He’s mouth was extremely bitter, and his haggard and thin face showed a bit of exhaustion, “I want to contribute my last effort to the Holy Sage and Daheng.”
Gu Yuanbai raised his hands and waved his sleeves, “Then you should quit incense first.”
The palace attendant led him and the prince out of the palace. There was finally no one else in the hall, and Gu Yuanbai sat on a chair. After a long while, he felt that he should find something to do.
He randomly pulled out a memorial on the table and dipped his pen in ink, but he could not read a single word on the memorial and could not write anything with the pen in his hand.
The death of Concubine Wan did not bring a huge blow to Gu Yuanbai that destroyed his mind, but it was by no means small either.
He had already prepared for Concubine Wan’s death. Concubine Wan lived at least half a year longer than the imperial doctor said. But when this day really came, after everything was over, I still felt a little lonely.
After knowing that Concubine Wan was framed, Gu Yuanbai was almost furious. After finding out that the source was a retainer in Prince He’s house, Gu Yuanbai almost hated Prince He.
But hate is a very consuming thing.
Gu Yuanbai calmed down quickly.
Reason always prevailed, but occasionally I would think of Princess Wan and that she had passed away. Occasionally I would fall into an empty situation, and I would repeatedly blame myself for not realizing that something was wrong earlier.
If discovered, would Concubine Wan be able to live longer?
Xue Yuan suddenly said: “Your Majesty?”
Gu Yuanbai came back to his senses and put down his pen pretending to be fine: “I’m a little lackluster.”
Xue Yuan did not expose him: “rest for a few more days, the imperial doctor said you should not be too tired.”
Gu Yuanbai gave a soft “hmm” and simply closed the memorial, “When will Princess Wan’s coffin arrive in the capital?”
“After Concubine Wan left the palace, she met a group of monks on the road returning to Hebei from the capital,” Tian Fusheng said carefully, “That group of monks chanted sutras for Concubine Wan for three days, and then followed them all the way. Coming from the capital, according to the schedule, we should arrive in the next two days.”
Gu Yuanbai nodded and said tiredly: “The monks are kind-hearted. Concubine Wan also liked to burn incense and worship Buddha like the late emperor during her lifetime. This group of monks is destined to the concubine. After they arrive, you will arrange them well. Concubine Wan will enter On the day of the spiritual palace, invite them to chant sutras together with the monks from Chengbao Temple.”
Tian Fusheng said: “I remember it, little one.”
Gu Yuanbai still had a lot of things to do. When he picked up the pen, his mind was blank, but after he put down the pen, he felt something was wrong, “Pen the ink, I will write a letter to the Emperor of Xixia.”
Xue Yuan frowned, “What kind of letter does the Lord want to write?”
Kong Yilin happened to enter the palace through the invitation, and happened to hear the Holy Master’s words after entering. He said curiously: “I also have this question.”
“The Second Prince of Xixia gave me such a great gift, and I must reciprocate it no matter what.” Gu Yuanbai raised his chin, “Since you are here, you can write it.”
Kong Yilin accepted the offer, and Tian Fusheng sent someone to bring him a chair and a copy of the document, complete with pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Kong Yilin took the pen and asked, “Your Majesty, how should I write?”
“Praise him,” Gu Yuanbai raised his lips, “praise Li Angyi to death, and then praise him by adding 30% of what Xixia compensated. We must make the emperor of Xixia think that if Li Angyi fails to ascend the throne, I will be dissatisfied with it.”
Kong Yilin’s mind was racing so fast that he couldn’t help but laugh, “I understand.”
He dipped his hands in ink, pondered for a while, and then started writing with flying colors.
Gu Yuanbai watched his movements, sighed and said: “Kong Qing, your in-laws with Mr. Mi are probably not going to last for three months.”
“I am not in a hurry,” Kong Yilin said casually without stopping his hands, “Master Mi is not in a hurry either.”
Once the obituary notice of Concubine Wan’s death was issued, all those who were ordered to serve in the imperial court would be required to serve in the palace for one month. Anyone with a noble family would not be allowed to have feasts and music for one year, and they would not be allowed to marry officials for a hundred days. ①
The marriage between Kong Yilin and the daughter of the Mi family must also be stopped. Not only them, but also ordinary people’s families are not allowed to marry within three months.
Gu Yuanbai was a little tired. He stood up and said, “You just write, I’ll go and take a rest.”
Kong Yilin responded and respectfully sent the Lord off.
In the bedroom, Gu Yuanbai sat beside the bed. The palace attendants all withdrew, leaving Xue Yuan alone.
Xue Yuan was taking off His Majesty’s shoes and socks.
Gu Yuanbai looked at him from top to bottom, taking a close look at his face.
Since waking up, Gu Yuanbai has never had time to look at him so carefully.
When Xue Yuan was embarrassed in the past, he was afraid that Gu Yuanbai would look at him. But even though he was in a panic these past few days, he kept staring at Gu Yuanbai, and even the time he spent shaving himself felt was a waste.
His beard was unkempt and his lips were dry and flaky. Gu Yuanbai suddenly reached out his hand and opened Xue Yuan’s lips to take a look. Sure enough, there were a few fire bubbles inside that were about to rot.
Xue Yuan stopped moving his hands and looked up at Gu Yuanbai.
Gu Yuanbai pinched his face and said: “You woke up twice in your dream yesterday. Every time you woke up, you ran to me, hugged me, squeezed my hand, that’s all, you You still had to whisper in your ear several times, and you were not satisfied until I responded a few times in a daze. ”
This was the biggest reason why Gu Yuanbai felt that he had scared Xue Yuan out of his shadow.
Gu Yuanbai originally thought that he was the one who had an uneasy sleep, but his body was not up to par. No matter how depressed and uncomfortable he felt, he still had to sleep for more than five or six hours a day. The more uncomfortable he was, the longer he slept. On the contrary, it was Xue Yuan, he was the one who kept waking up in the night.
As long as he doesn’t see Gu Yuanbai, or if Gu Yuanbai doesn’t make a sound for a long time, Xue Yuan will panic and can’t help but wonder if Gu Yuanbai is still alive.
It was such a simple thing to kill someone, but for Gu Yuanbai, it became a torturous thing.
Xue Yuan wanted to block Gu Yuanbai’s Huangquan Road, but how? What if Gu Yuanbai died while he was sleeping at night? The body remembers this uneasiness that goes deep into the bone marrow. Once he doesn’t see Gu Yuanbai for an hour or two, Xue Yuan’s instinct will urge him to wake up and then carefully explore Gu Yuanbai’s breathing.
The Holy One only thought that Xue Yuan would wake up twice a night, but in fact, this was not the case. Xue Yuan would wake up and fall asleep several times a night. He looked at Gu Yuanbai, watching the rise and fall of his chest and the beating of his pulse. Sometimes the little emperor’s breathing was too shallow, and he was too scared, so he couldn’t help but call Gu Yuanbai in a low voice, listening to his soft voice. There was a sound on the ground.
This was the only time I felt at ease twice that night.
Xue Yuan didn’t say this. He grasped Gu Yuanbai’s fingers, rolled his Adam’s apple a few times, and then whispered: “I’m sorry.”
“What are you sorry for?” Gu Yuanbai moved his fingertips a few times and sighed secretly in his heart, “Don’t take off my boots, bring me a knife, and I will cleanse your face.”
Xue Yuan left the inner hall and came back with a basin of hot water and a handkerchief, as well as an exquisite and exquisite knife in his hand.
Gu Yuanbai asked him to sit down, wiped his chin with a towel, and shaved off the stubble bit by bit along his jawline.
“Stop talking,” the Holy Master looked serious, frowned, and tapped Xue Yuan’s face with his thin, white, cold fingers, as if he was doing something important, “If a piece of your flesh is cut off, you can’t blame me. ”
When Xue Yuan heard this, his body immediately tensed up.
He can rely entirely on Israel to serve the king.
Gu Yuanbai was happy to see him like this. The hands moved slowly, and the inner hall was quiet for a while. The Holy Master said softly: “Xue Yuan, I have to thank you. You allowed me to see the last side of Concubine Wan.”
Xue Yuan’s heart became hot, and he couldn’t help but want to grin. This smile made another “hiss” sound, and a drop of blood dripped from his chin.
Gu Yuanbai was shocked, wiped away the blood drops for him, and said with a dark face: “I told you to stop moving!”
“Master Bai, I don’t want to move either,” Xue Yuan lowered his voice. He pressed the corners of his lips downwards as hard as he could, “I just couldn’t help but laugh.”
Gu Yuanbai said coolly: “If you don’t bear it any longer, when your beard is gone, your handsome face will be ruined by my hands.”
Xue Yuan’s smile froze, his face calmed, and after waiting for a moment, he falsely humbled himself and said: “Your Majesty, I am so complimentary, I cannot bear the handsomeness in my face. The most handsome face in the capital is undoubtedly Master Chu Wei Chu.” ”
“Indeed,” Gu Yuanbai casually walked to Xue Yuan’s left side and bent down, “Chu Qing’s face is really handsome.”
Xue Yuan’s lips curled into an unhappy arc.
Gu Yuanbai carefully cleaned off the stubble on Xue Yuan’s face, and General Xue looked handsome and handsome again. Gu Yuanbai put down the knife, wiped the debris on his face with a wet towel, and said slowly: “Xue Jiuyao, why do you always mention Chu Wei?”
Xue Yuan said honestly: “I am not as handsome as him. I am worried that the Holy One likes him.”
Gu Yuanbai blinked for a while and said, “That’s ridiculous.”
It’s not ridiculous at all, Chu Wei clearly had evil intentions towards the Holy Sage.
But Xue Yuan couldn’t say this. He took out the cleansing items and handed them to the palace attendant. After coming in, he took off the shoes and socks that the emperor had put on again. Gu Yuanbai lay on the bed and covered himself with a quilt facing the wall.
Xue Yuan was tidying up the bedding for him behind him, making intermittent sounds. At this time of year, the charcoal fire in the kang bed had long been extinguished. Gu Yuanbai only felt the ice and coldness in the quilt. He half drooped his eyelids and said, “Xue Yuan, come up.”
As soon as these words came out, in just a moment, Xue Yuan had already taken off his belt, took off his clothes and got on the dragon bed, feeling the warmth coming from behind. A pair of hands tentatively touched the waist, and then boldly took Gu Yuanbai into his arms.
Gu Yuanbai sighed, lay back comfortably, completely handed himself over to Xue Yuan, and closed his eyes comfortably.
After his illness, he was even more afraid of the cold than before. It was the end of June, and Xue Yuan had to cover himself with a thick quilt. He couldn’t help but murmur, “I’m hurting you.”
“I’m not going to implicate you,” Xue Yuan couldn’t help but kiss the back of his neck. He held back for just a moment and stayed away. “If this is going to get me involved, Your Majesty, I beg you to implicate me for the rest of my life.”
Gu Yuanbai laughed muffledly and trembled.
Because during the period of filial piety, everyone behaves well and does not cross the line even half an inch. Gu Yuanbai smiled for a while and said, “Then my life may be a little short.”
Xue Yuan frowned, a shadow appeared, and his expression suddenly appeared ferocious.
“General Xue, it’s better not to say such things.” Gu Yuanbai turned his back to Xue Yuan and did not see his expression, “I have told you once before, and I will stop here. I am not harming you, Xue Jiu Yao, do you know why Concubine Wan has deliberately reduced her meetings with me in recent years?”
As he spoke, he thought of the letter that Concubine Wan wrote to him during the Chinese New Year. Every sentence in the letter seemed ordinary at the time, but now it makes people look red when he thinks about it, “The weather is getting colder, I “Don’t forget to put on some clothes.” “Today I heard a child say something naughty, and my mother-in-law wrote it behind it. Will my son be happy to read it?”…
Gu Yuanbai’s eyes turned red. He clenched his fists and took a few deep breaths before calming down his excitement. “It’s the same with Concubine Wan’s death and me. What I said to you before, you think I’m joking.” ”
“Then the Lord just dealt with it casually?” The veins on Xue Yuan’s neck popped out, and he spoke from between his teeth, “You forgot what I said so easily?!”
Gu Yuanbai turned back to look at him suddenly.
The ferocity on Xue Yuan’s face hadn’t receded yet, and Gu Yuanbai seemed to be able to hear the sound of his teeth being gritted, and his voice was so ferocious, as if he was about to devour him, “Your Majesty, speak.”
Gu Yuanbai said, “I’m just telling you for the last time to prevent you from being heartbroken in the future.”
He stepped back slightly and looked at Xue Yuan critically. Xue Yuan is tall and tall, with sword-shaped eyebrows on his temples. His facial features are sharp, and he can pretend to be gentle. When he smiles but doesn’t smile, he is even more sinister. This already has the capital to make people fall in love with him. What’s more, Xue Yuan is more than that. He has an amazing figure and a bright future. If a person like this wants to find a close person who will accompany him for a lifetime, how can he not find him?
Xue Yuan’s expression softened slightly, but it was still scary. He pressed Gu Yuanbai’s head on his chest and said fiercely: “Sleep.”
Gu Yuanbai thought to himself, okay, go to sleep.
As soon as his eyes closed, Xue Yuan asked muffledly above his head: “Gu Yuanbai, do you really think you don’t like me?”
Gu Yuanbai blurted out: “I want to sleep with you.” But he didn’t want to be responsible.
As soon as these words came out, his expression suddenly changed.
Xue Yuan was startled, and then the corners of his eyes and brows filled with a smile that Shinobu couldn’t help but smile. The laughter in his throat was deep, his chest was trembling, and the corners of his mouth were grinning high. Finally, he pretended to be serious and patted Gu Yuanbai on the back, as if he didn’t hear anything, “Sleep, sleep.”
Gu Yuanbai fell asleep with an ugly face.
Before falling asleep, he seemed to hear the strange noise Xue Yuan made while suppressing laughter.
Xue Yuan clenched his fist and beat the quilt heavily, excitedly wanting to go down and run a few laps to practice his sword skills.
My heart beat faster and faster, and my whole body was shaking with excitement. Gu Yuanbai wanted to sleep with him, but he actually wanted to sleep with him? He really served you with sex!
His eyes were bright, and he hugged Gu Yuanbai tightly, holding back his excitement and waiting for the Holy Master to wake up. After a while, the excitement subsided and panic reared its head again. Xue Yuan carefully checked the Holy Master’s nose again. He was breathing shallowly and was fine.
Xue Yuan took a deep breath, leaned against the top of Gu Yuanbai’s head, and closed his eyes.
