I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 155
When Gu Yuanbai mentioned the idea of the sports meeting, Xue Yuan pondered for a while and said slowly: “You also need to move more.”
Gu Yuanbai chuckled, wondering if he should exercise on you, “Have you taken a bath?”
Xue Yuan, “I am clean.”
Gu Yuanbai sat on the chair and raised his fingers at him, “Come here and give me a kiss.”
Xue Yuan subconsciously glanced around. The people in the hall had their heads lowered, as if they didn’t hear anything. In addition to the palace attendants, there are also officials from the Supervision Office who pretend to be Xue Yuan’s subordinates staying here.
The Supervision Office official saw Xue Yuan’s gaze and smiled reservedly.
Xue Yuan walked up to him with confidence. Gu Yuanbai stretched out his hand towards him. He consciously raised his chin and was kissed loudly by the Holy Master.
Gu Yuanbai bit his lip and licked it again, “It smells like sweat.”
“It hurt just now,” Xue Yuan hesitated, “Your Majesty, don’t pull out there next time.”
Gu Yuanbai liked to bully him, “Whether there will be a next time depends on your performance.”
He snapped his fingers at the Supervision Office official who was watching the show.
The supervisory officer took out a ledger from his arms and said in extremely detailed terms: “On February 15th, Mr. Xue passed by Yingtian Mansion and had a few words with a woman by the bridge.”
Xue Yuan was startled, frowned and thought for a while, it seemed that this was indeed the case: “One sentence is ‘I won’t buy the cake’, and the other sentence is ‘go to the edge and make way’.”
The supervisory officer continued with a smile: “The woman stared at you for a long time after you passed by.”
Gu Yuanbai narrowed his eyes slightly, rubbed Xue Yuan’s lips with a half-smile, and stopped kissing him, “Our Lord Xue turns out to be so pleasing to women.”
Xue Yuan said expressionlessly: “If I remember correctly, the woman by the bridge is only in her late teens and is still a child.”
Gu Yuanbai: “…”
He turned to look at the supervisory officer.
The supervisory official’s expression did not change, he turned over a page in the account book and said: “On the morning of February 16th, a woman from the post station came to bring Mr. Xue breakfast and talked to him many times. Mr. Xue treated her with a gentle look. Patiently discussed with him about food in Beijing. ”
Xue Yuan’s veins popped up on his forehead and he couldn’t bear it any longer, “That’s an old woman who got married in the capital.”
The supervisory officials were surprised. Mr. Xue had already become unpredictable and calm after staying in Huainan for so long. Why did he become a different person when he came to the Holy Lord?
But the strange thing is that the supervisory officials turned another page.
This account book is very thick, and you can tell at a glance that every move is detailed. Gu Yuanbai had no choice but to guess that it was because the officials of the Supervision Office found out that he and Xue Yuan were together, and they became more and more displeased with Xue Yuan, so they intervened to cause trouble for Xue Yuan.
As the account books in the hands of the supervisory officials became thinner and thinner, Xue Yuan’s face became more and more solemn. Naturally, he has not done anything to betray Gu Yuanbai, but the Supervision Office’s attitude towards him will definitely make a big deal about the businessmen in Huainan giving him women.
Sure enough, the supervisory officer talked about this incident and took two full pages to write it down. But Gu Yuanbai didn’t get angry after knowing the cause of the matter. He just asked the supervisor to step aside, played with the stubble on Xue Yuan’s chin, and said with a smile: “Master Xue, I sent someone to be by your side, aren’t you unhappy?” ?”
Xue Yuan broke into a cold sweat, “How could that happen?”
Gu Yuanbai pretended to be polite and said, “If you don’t like it, just say it. I’m not a hard person to talk to.”
The words secretly threatened Xue Yuan that if he couldn’t hear it again, all his hard work would be in vain. He shook his head and said, “I like it. I like it very much.”
Gu Yuanbai smiled with satisfaction, and then gently rubbed his cheek against Xue Yuan’s chin. His delicate face was red from the stubble, and he said in a low voice, “My desire to control is no less than yours.”
If we are not together, forget it. If we are together, we must accept his desire to control everything from his life to his hair. It is this unusual desire for control and strong possessiveness that makes Gu Yuanbai never fall in love in modern times.
Because no one could stand him, Gu Yuanbai didn’t want to embarrass others.
After becoming the emperor, this desire for control grew even more doubly, and the Supervisory Office was just like an existence created to scratch Gu Yuanbai’s itch.
He raised his hands and put them on Xue Yuan’s shoulders, his arms were thin and white, and he spoke so softly that it made people’s hearts soften, “Do you really like it?”
“Really,” Xue Yuan said in Gu Yuanbai’s ear, “Your Majesty, we are really a couple born to be together. We are destined to be a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water.”
“You asked someone to look at me, and I also asked someone to look at you,” Xue Yuan, “We husband and wife are evenly matched, and no one loses. If someone really takes the opportunity to touch you while I am leaving, I will have to die.” He was broken into pieces.”
His eyes were serious, and he even had a cold air when he spoke. It was Xue Yuan’s fascination with Gu Yuanbai that made Gu Yuanbai extremely satisfied, even his desire for control screamed satisfaction.
“Couple?” Gu Yuanbai chuckled, “Xue Qing is very ambitious. Does she want to be my queen?”
Xue Yuan was choked and speechless.
The two hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Gu Yuanbai put down his government affairs and spent the whole afternoon with Xue Yuan. They walked around the imperial garden, and when passing by the lake, Xue Yuan said: “When the weather is good, I will take the saint up to my village to drink water.”
Gu Yuanbai readily agreed.

Xue Yuan walked back from the palace, thinking about what he could do by bringing the Holy Emperor to Zhuangzi, and he couldn’t help but be distracted.
But as soon as he walked into Xue’s house, there was a sound of breaking wind. Xue Yuan’s expression condensed, and he ducked sideways to avoid the sharp arrow. When he looked up, General Xue was looking at him with a livid face, looking like he wanted to kill him quickly. appearance.
Xue Yuan looked at him and smiled, “Father is well.”
General Xue was stunned for a moment, then threw away the bow and arrow with a cold face, picked up the stick and shouted: “——I’ll break your legs!”
The Xue Mansion suddenly fell into chaos. After hearing this, the second young master Xue quickly asked the servants to carry him to watch the excitement, and gloated: “I have to go and see how dad broke Xue Jiuyao’s leg.”
The farce didn’t stop until the moon was high. Xue Yuan was still alive and kicking. Second Young Master Xue was taken back to the room by the servant with regret on his face. After everyone dispersed, General Xue pointed at Xue Yuan and cursed angrily: “What on earth is going on between you and that Chu Wei!”
Xue Yuan was distracted, “What does Chu Wei have to do with me?”
Old General Xue: “You still haven’t told the truth? Your mother told me that Chu Wei is the person you like. Is this true or false?”
General Xue’s face was calm and his heart was trembling with fear.
If Xue Yuan is really half-hearted, then even if he is punished or executed by the Holy One, he will still risk his life to beat Xue Yuan to death.
This would at least save the lives of other people in the Xue family.
“Where did Mrs. Xue hear this nonsense?” Xue Yuan sighed, as elegant as a gentleman, “If worshiping gods and Buddhas is useful, then I hope Chu Wei can die soon.”
He smiled maliciously and said, “Die a neat death.”
General Xue breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground weakly. He took a big breath and murmured happily as if he had been reborn: “Fortunately, it’s not, but it’s not…”
Xue Yuan walked to him and squatted down, “General Xue, can you tell me why he chased me and beat me to death as soon as I returned home?”
His old father laughed angrily, “Well, Xue Jiuyao, you once told me that you were loyal to the emperor, and I asked you to serve the emperor. Is this how you serve me?”
Xue Yuan said “Huh”.
The old general was furious and grief-stricken, “If you do this, how will I face my ancestors and see the late emperor? If I had known this, I should have strangled you to death when you were born. , lest you come to harm the Holy One now!”
Xue Yuan’s expression did not change after hearing this. After the old general finished cursing, he suddenly laughed out loud, “General Xue, you should be glad that you didn’t strangle me to death. You don’t want the Holy One to be entangled by a fierce ghost, right?” ”
General Xue shuddered and looked at him in shock.
Xue Yuan patted him on the shoulder and smiled, “It’s getting late. General Xue, you are getting old. You can’t stand the frost and cold at night. It’s time to go back and rest.”
After saying that, he stood up and bowed politely to General Xue, then turned and walked into the darkness.
General Xue stayed where he was, feeling a chill to his bones.
Xue Yuan had never done this before to salute him before leaving. This time outing made Xue Yuan think more deeply, and he seemed to be much better, even gentler.
The old general couldn’t tell for a moment whether the Xue Yuan who originally disdained human ethics was more terrifying, or the Xue Yuan who calmly followed the rules of the world and was more terrifying now.
As the late dew fell, General Xue came back to his senses and sighed deeply.

After Xue Yuan returned to his room, he asked the guests from the mansion to come to see him.
The retainer came quietly and said, “Sir, we have roughly figured out the reason for what you asked us to investigate. Li Huan, the youngest son of the great Confucian Li Bao, broke into the palace and was arrested three years ago. The Holy Master showed pity for Li Bao’s master-disciple relationship. , he sent someone to deliver Li Huan to the mansion, and also sent many precious medicinal materials.”
Xue Yuan turned the jade ring in his hand that was carved from the same mold as the Holy One, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Why did he break into the palace secretly?”
The retainer whispered: “The villain has been investigating for several months before he found out some secrets from the Li Mansion. It is said that this person caught a glimpse of the Holy Lord’s face outside the palace and then broke into the palace claiming to be a flower picker.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt cold all over his body.
Xue Yuan didn’t speak for a long time. When he spoke again, his tone was as terrifying as a snake spinning silk, “How could the Holy One spare him?”
Just as the retainer was about to speak, Xue Yuan said to himself: “He should die.”
“The Holy One had just come into power at that time, and Li Bao was a great scholar in the world, and the Holy One’s prince and tutor,” the disciple said politely, “the Holy One had already made him lie in bed for two years to avoid his disobedience. It’s better to control Li Bao later.”
Xue Yuan smiled, “Now is not the past.”
The doorman was silent.
Xue Yuan asked another question: “Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing has prepared it for me. In ten days at most, the smokeless charcoal fire around the pool will be lit to ensure that even if the wind blows in the afternoon, the water will not cool down. Do you understand?”
The diners left in response.
Xue Yuan then stopped smiling and slowly thought in his heart: Li Huan.
