I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

When the emperor was angry, he buried a million corpses.

Mr. Wang's heart trembled.

He looked into Gu Yuanbai's eyes, the hatred and anger in them were overwhelming.Emperor Daheng's anger was completely aroused by him, and he wanted to take the whole Fusang as a sacrifice to Concubine Wan's spirit in heaven.

"You..." Mr. Wang clenched his hands, suppressing his regret, "I killed Concubine Wan, if you want to kill me, kill me."

"How can I kill you?" Gu Yuanbai smiled softly, "What are you?"

His chest gradually calmed down, but Mr. Wang became more and more agitated. He was shocked by what Gu Yuanbai said. Mr. Wang didn't want to see such a day. After death, there is still 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 down at him, "Mr. Wang can't 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 the two of them down. Mr. Wang's face was flushed red, and he struggled with all his strength to rush towards Gu Yuanbai, "Gu Lian, you must die!"

The guards blocked Mr. Wang's mouth, and the hall finally became quiet.

Gu Yuanbai coughed and handed the knife to Xue Yuan.Xue Yuan stepped forward to take it from him, then took his hand and led him to the seat.

Xue Yuan was cautious in every move, without him, just because Gu Yuanbai's hands were too weak.Bai was so clear that the blood was floating, as if a little force would shatter in his hands.

Gu Yuanbai felt that he seemed to have left some shadow on Xue Yuan.

Even now, Xue Yuan has to look at him all the time, and would rather not eat or drink than Gu Yuanbai to leave his eyes.If Gu Yuanbai showed a somewhat uneasy expression, he would show an...an expression that made Gu Yuanbai feel breathless when he saw it.

After sitting down, Gu Yuanbai rested for a while, then raised his eyelids and looked at Prince He.

The corners of Prince He's lips were pursed coldly and straightly, his fingers drooped, and he remained silent.

"Prince He," Gu Yuanbai said in a low voice, "Look, this is your servant."

After waking up from the coma, Gu Yuanbai suddenly remembered the smell of spices that he smelled in Prince He's study that day.

On the face of it, Prince He was the parent-son of the late emperor who was fostered in his brother's house in the early years, and he was the eldest son of the late emperor. If foreign enemies wanted to take action against Gu Yuanbai, Prince He was indeed the best candidate for successor.

This is the reason why Gu Yuanbai would 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 centered on Prince He.Mr. Wang was careful, but he couldn't hide from Gu Yuanbai's eyes after all.

His every move was in front of his eyes, when he asked the prince to enter the palace, Gu Yuanbai's people secretly approached the prince and gave him a chance to make amends.

In the end, Prince He found a secret medicine in Mr. Wang's room, and some evidence that Mr. He secretly cooperated with Daheng officials.

These evidences are the handles left by Mr. Wang to prevent the officials from betraying the water. In the end, it just became the proof that Gu Yuanbai convicted these officials.

As for the secret medicine, after the death of Concubine Wan, a palace servant who accompanied her for more than 20 years also committed suicide the next day. What don't you understand?

His mother and concubine are indeed not in good health, and they will not live long.

But it shouldn't be killed by such shady means.

Prince He's voice was dry and hoarse, "I apologise."

"It's time to apologize," Gu Yuanbai blinked slowly, "Once Wang Taiwei's actions, no matter how much I do to you, it will make me seem too narrow-minded. Although you are a bit reckless and stupid, but At least you can tell the difference in major matters. I will give you two choices, either, you will obediently be imprisoned in the prince's mansion until you die, or you will go to the northern border and do what no one wants to do, and stay in the northern border forever. Guardians of the land."

Gu Yuanbai was almost harsh, "I will not give you military power. You will always be under the command of the army, where you will live, grow old, sick and die. Without my edict, you are not allowed to enter Beijing."

Prince He's mouth was extremely bitter, and his haggard and thin face showed a bit of fatigue, "I want to do my last bit for the Holy One and Daheng."

Gu Yuanbai raised his hand and waved his sleeves, "Then you go and quit the incense first."

The palace attendant led the prince and him out of the palace gate.Finally, there were no other people in the hall, Gu Yuanbai sat on the chair, and after a long while, he felt that he should find something to do.

He randomly picked out a memorial from the table and dipped his pen in the ink, but he couldn't read a single word on the memorial, and couldn't write with the pen in his hand.

The death of Concubine Wan did not hit Gu Yuanbai as hard as destroying his mind, but it was by no means small.

He had already made preparations for Concubine Wan's death. Concubine Wan lived at least half a year longer than what the imperial doctor said.But when this day really comes, after the incident, I still feel a little lonely.

After knowing that Concubine Wan was framed, Gu Yuanbai was almost furious.After finding out that the source was He Prince's housekeeper, Gu Yuanbai almost hated He Prince.

But hatred is a very consuming thing.

Gu Yuanbai quickly calmed down.

Reason always prevails, but occasionally I think of Concubine Wan, remembering that she has passed away, and occasionally fall into a blank situation, repeatedly blaming myself for not discovering something wrong earlier.

If found out, can Concubine Wan live a little longer?

Xue Yuan suddenly said: "Your Majesty?"

Gu Yuanbai returned to his senses, and put down his pen pretending nothing had happened: "I'm a little bit listless."

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 Concubine Wan's coffin arrive in the capital?"

"After Concubine Wan left the palace, she met a group of monks returning to Hebei from the capital," Tian Fusheng said cautiously. Come to the capital, according to the footsteps, you should arrive in the next two days."

Gu Yuanbai nodded, and said tiredly: "The monk is kind-hearted. Concubine Wan also liked to burn incense and worship Buddha like the late emperor. This team of monks has a predestined relationship with the concubine. After you arrive, you can arrange them properly. On the day of the Linggong Palace, invite them to chant scriptures 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 went blank, but when he put it down, he felt something was wrong. "Researching ink, I am writing a letter to the Emperor Xixia."

Xue Yuan frowned, "What kind of letter does Your Majesty want to write?"

Kong Yilin happened to enter the palace, and he happened to hear the words of the Holy Majesty after entering, and said curiously: "I also asked this question."

"The second prince of Xixia gave me such a great gift, and I have to reciprocate it anyway." Gu Yuanbai raised his chin, "Since you are here, then you can write it."

Kong Yilin bowed his hand, Tian Fusheng sent someone to bring him a chair and a copybook, complete with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Kong Yilin took a pen and asked, "My lord, how should I write?"

"Praise him," Gu Yuanbai pursed his lips, "praise Li Angyi to death, and then add [-]% of what Xixia compensated to praise. The emperor of Xixia must think that if Li Angyi fails to ascend the throne, I would be dissatisfied with it."

Kong Yilin's mind turned very fast, and he couldn't help laughing, "I know."

He dipped in the ink, pondered for a while, and then began to write freely.

Gu Yuanbai watched his movements, sighed and said, "Kong Qing, your in-laws with Master Mi may be three months old at night."

"I'm not in a hurry," Kong Yilin said casually without stopping his hands, "Master Mi is not in a hurry."

Once the obituary of Concubine Wan's death is issued, all those who order her will have to enter the imperial court for a month, and those who have noble families will not be allowed to have banquets and music within a year, and they will be banned from marrying officials for a hundred days. ①

The marriage between Kong Yilin and Mi Da's family's daughter must also be stopped, not only them, but the common people's family is also not allowed to marry within three months.

Gu Yuanbai was a little tired, he got up and said, "Just write, I'm going to take a rest."

Kong Yilin responded, and respectfully sent His Majesty away.

In the bedroom, Gu Yuanbai was sitting by the bed.The palace servants all retreated, leaving Xue Yuan alone.

Xue Yuan was taking off the shoes and socks of the Holy Majesty.

Gu Yuanbai looked at him from top to bottom, carefully looking at his face.

Since waking up, Gu Yuanbai has never had the time to look at him so carefully.

When Xue Yuan was embarrassed in the past, he was always afraid that Gu Yuanbai would look at him.But although he was in a mess these past few days, he kept staring at Gu Yuanbai, and even thought it was a waste of time to shave himself.

Unshaven and dry lips, Gu Yuanbai stretched out his hand suddenly, and opened Xue Yuan's lips for a look. Sure enough, there were a few blisters that were about to rot inside.

Xue Yuan stopped moving and looked up at Gu Yuanbai.

Gu Yuanbai pinched his face, and said: "You woke up twice in your dream yesterday. Every time you wake up, you have to run to my side to hug me and squeeze my hand, that's all, you You have to call me several times in a low voice, and you are not satisfied to leave until I answer a few times in a daze."

This is the biggest reason why Gu Yuanbai felt that he scared Xue Yuan out of the shadows.

Gu Yuanbai originally thought that he was the one who couldn't sleep well, but his body didn't live up to it, no matter how depressed and uncomfortable he was, 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 wonder whether Gu Yuanbai is still alive.

It is such a straightforward thing to die, but for Gu Yuanbai, it has completely become a tormenting thing.

Xue Yuan wanted to block Gu Yuanbai's Huangquan Road, but how?What if Gu Yuanbai died when he fell asleep at night?The body remembered this unease that went deep into the bone marrow. Once he didn't see Gu Yuanbai for an hour or two, Xue Yuan's instinct would urge him to wake up, and then carefully probe for Gu Yuanbai's breath.

The Holy Majesty only thought that Xue Yuan would wake up twice a night, but in fact, Xue Yuan would wake up and fall asleep several times a night.He looked at Gu Yuanbai, to see the rise and fall of his chest, 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 him whisper softly. The ground should be heard.

These were the only two peaces of mind in one night.

Xue Yuan didn't say this, he grabbed Gu Yuanbai's fingers, rolled his Adam's apple a few times, and then whispered: "I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?" Gu Yuanbai moved his fingertips a few times, and sighed secretly in his heart, "Don't take off my boots, bring a knife, and I will cleanse your face."

Xue Yuan left the inner hall, and when he came back, he brought a basin of hot water and a towel, and held a small and delicate 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.

"Don't talk," His Majesty looked serious, frowning, pointing Xue Yuan's face with thin white and cold fingers, as if he was doing something important, "If you cut off a piece of your flesh, I can't blame you for that." .”

Xue Yuan tensed up immediately when he heard the words.

He can rely on Israel to serve the king.

Seeing him like this, Gu Yuanbai was happy.The movement of the hand was slow, and the inner hall was quiet for a while, the Holy One said in a low voice: "Xue Yuan, I have to thank you, you let me 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", and a drop of blood dripped from his chin.

Gu Yuanbai was startled, wiped the blood on him, and said with a dark face: "I told you not to move!"

"Master Bai, I don't want to move either," Xue Yuan lowered his voice, he tried his best to press the corner of his lips, but he couldn't, "I just couldn't help laughing."

Gu Yuanbai said coolly: "I can't help it anymore, when the beard is gone, your handsome face will be ruined by my hands."

Xue Yuan's smile froze, he restrained his face, and after waiting for a while, he pretended to be self-effacing and said: "My lord praises me, I can't bear the word handsome with this face, the most handsome face in the capital must be 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."

The corner of Xue Yuan's lips twitched into a displeased arc.

Gu Yuanbai carefully cleaned off the stubble on Xue Yuan's face, and General Xue looked handsome again.Gu Yuanbai put down the knife, wiped the crumbs 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 and said for a while, "It's ridiculous."

It's not absurd at all, Chu Wei clearly harbors ill intentions towards the Holy One.

But Xue Yuan couldn't say these words.He took out the clean face and handed it to the palace attendant, and took off the shoes and socks that the Holy Majesty had put on again after entering. Gu Yuanbai lay on the bed and covered the quilt against the wall.

Xue Yuan rearranged the quilt for him, and the rustling sound was intermittent.At this time of year, the charcoal fire in the kang bed had already been extinguished, and Gu Yuanbai only felt that the quilt was icy and cold, and his eyelids half drooped, "Xue Yuan, come up."

As soon as this sentence came out, Xue Yuan took off his belt, took off his robe, and got on the dragon bed in an instant, with warmth coming up from behind.He tentatively touched his waist with both hands, and then boldly hugged Gu Yuanbai into his arms.

Gu Yuanbai sighed, lay back comfortably, completely handed himself over to Xue Yuan, and closed his eyes comfortably.

After he had been ill for a while, his body was more afraid of the cold than before. The weather was at the end of June, and Xue Yuan was required to cover him with a thick quilt, so he couldn't help muttering, "I'm hurting you."

"No trouble," Xue Yuan couldn't help kissing the back of his neck, held back for a while, and forcibly moved away, "If this is trouble, my lord, I beg you to trouble me for the rest of my life."

Gu Yuanbai laughed muffled, trembling.

Because in the period of filial piety, everyone behaved well and did not cross the line.Gu Yuanbai smiled for a while and said, "Then my life may be a bit short."

Xue Yuan pressed his brows and eyes, a shadow loomed up, and a ferocious expression suddenly appeared.

"General Xue should stop saying such things." Gu Yuanbai turned his back to Xue Yuan, without seeing his expression, "I told you once before, and I will stop when I click it. I am not trying to harm you, Xue Jiu Yao, do you know why Concubine Wan has deliberately reduced her meetings with me in recent years?"

As he spoke, he recalled 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 thinking about it, it can catch the eyes of celebrities, "The colder the weather, I Don't forget to add clothes", "Today I heard a naughty thing from the little boy, mother and concubine wrote it after it, can my son enjoy it?"...

Gu Yuanbai's eyes turned red, he clenched his fists, took a few deep breaths, and then eased his excitement, "The death of Concubine Wan is the same as mine, what I told you earlier, you treat me as a joke Is it?"

"The sage, did you deal with it casually?" The veins on Xue Yuan's neck bulged, and he said through his teeth, "You forgot what I said so easily?!"

Gu Yuanbai looked back at him abruptly.

The ferocity on Xue Yuan's face hadn't receded yet, Gu Yuanbai seemed to be able to hear the sound of his gnashing of teeth, the voice was ruthless, as if he wanted to swallow him into his stomach, "Your Majesty, speak up."

Gu Yuanbai, "I'm just telling you one last time, so that you won't be distraught in the future."

He stepped back a little and looked at Xue Yuan carefully.Xue Yuan is tall and burly, with sword-shaped eyebrows and sharp facial features, he can pretend to be gentle, and when he smiles, he is even more gangster-like, which already has the capital to make people fall in love.What's more, Xue Yuan is more than that. He is in excellent shape and has a bright future. If such a person wants to find a confidant who will accompany him for the rest of his life, how can he not find it?

Xue Yuan's expression softened slightly, but it was still terrifying. He pressed Gu Yuanbai's head on his chest, and said viciously, "Sleep."

Gu Yuanbai thought in his heart, let's go to sleep.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Xue Yuan asked in a muffled voice above his head: "Gu Yuanbai, do you really not 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 face changed suddenly.

Xue Yuan was startled, and then there was a smile that he couldn't hold back from the corners of his eyes and brows. The laughter in his throat was deep, his chest was trembling, and the corners of his mouth were grinning high.In the end, he pretended to be serious and patted Gu Yuanbai's back, as if he hadn't heard anything, "Sleep and sleep."

Gu Yuanbai fell asleep with an ugly face.

Before falling asleep, he seemed to have heard the strange sound of Xue Yuan holding back his laughter.

Xue Yuan clenched his fist and beat the quilt heavily, excitedly wanting to go down and run a few laps to practice a few knives.

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 the king with color!

His eyes were bright, he hugged Gu Yuanbai tightly, suppressed his excitement and waited for the Holy Majesty to wake up.After a while, the excitement was suppressed, and the panic emerged again. Xue Yuan cautiously went to check the breath of Tan Sheng again. His breathing was shallow and he was fine.

Xue Yuan gasped for breath, pressed against the top of Gu Yuanbai's head, and closed his eyes.
