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. The anger of Emperor Daheng was completely aroused by him, and he wanted to take the whole Fusang to sacrifice the spirit of Concubine Wan in the sky.
"You..." Mr. Wang clenched his hands and suppressed his remorse, "I killed Concubine Wan, if you want to kill me, kill me."
"How can I kill you," Gu Yuanbai smiled lightly, "What kind of thing are you?"
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. After death, there is still hope that Fusang will not suffer the wrath of Emperor Daheng because of him.
But Gu Yuanbai withdrew the knife in time.
The sage looked down at him condescendingly, "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 guard stepped forward and pulled the two of Mr. Wang down. Mr. Wang's face flushed red, and he struggled with all his strength to rush towards Gu Yuanbai, "Gu Lian, you have to die!"
The guard blocked Mr. Wang's mouth, and the hall finally became quiet.
Gu Yuanbai coughed with his fist, and handed the knife to Xue Yuan. Xue Yuan stepped forward to take it from his hand, and then held his hand and brought him to the seat.
Xue Yuan's every move was cautious, without him, just because Gu Yuanbai's hand was too weak. It was clear that the blood vessels were floating in the whiteness, as if it would be broken in the hand with 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, preferring not to eat or drink than to want Gu Yuanbai to leave his eyes. If Gu Yuanbai showed a bit of a calm look, he would show a... an expression that made Gu Yuanbai look at it, and he would have to breathe for a while.
After sitting down, Gu Yuanbai rested for a while, then lifted his eyelids and looked at Prince He.
The corners of the Prince and Prince's mouth pursed hard and straight, his fingers drooped, and he remained silent.
"And the prince," Gu Yuanbai said in a low voice, "Look, this is the guest of your house."
After waking up from the coma, Gu Yuanbai suddenly remembered the spice smell he smelled in the Prince's study that day.
On the bright side, He-Prince is the parent and son of the late emperor who was fostered in his brother's house in his early years. He is the eldest son of the late emperor. If a foreign enemy wants to take action against Gu Yuanbai, He-Prince is indeed the best seed to succeed him.
This is the reason why Gu Yuanbai will not give the Prince He the military power.
After Gu Yuanbai figured it out, he sent people to closely monitor the Prince's Mansion and investigate the four directions with the Prince and Prince as the center. Mr. Wang was careful, but he couldn't hide from Gu Yuanbai's eyes.
His every move was in front of him, and when he asked the prince to enter the palace, Gu Yuanbai's people secretly found the prince and gave him a chance to make up for it.
In the end, he and the prince found a secret medicine in Mr. Wang's room, and Mr. Wang secretly cooperated with Daheng officials.
These evidences were used by Mr. Wang in order to prevent officials from going against the water, and in the end, they 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 had been with her for more than 20 years also committed suicide the next day. What else do not understand
His mother-in-law was indeed in bad health, and she did not live long.
But it shouldn't have been killed by such shady means.
And the prince's voice was hoarse, "I beg your sin."
"It's time to ask for guilt," Gu Yuanbai blinked slowly, "As soon as Taiwei Wang made this move, no matter what I do to you, it makes me seem to be very careful. Although you are a little reckless and stupid, but At least we can tell the difference when it comes to major matters. I give you two choices, either, you will obediently be confined to the Prince’s Mansion until death, or you will go to the northern border and do what no one wants to do, and stay in the northern border forever. Protector 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 and die, and you will not be allowed to enter the capital without my edict."
He Wang's mouth was extremely bitter, and his haggard and thin face showed a bit of exhaustion, "I want to do my last for Sheng Shang and Daheng."
Gu Yuanbai raised his hand and waved his sleeves, "Then you should go and give up the incense first."
The palace attendant led the prince and the prince out of the palace gate. There was finally no one else in the hall. Gu Yuanbai sat on the chair for a while before he felt that he should find something to do.
He casually took out a memorial on the table and dipped his pen in ink, but he couldn't read a single word on the memorial, and he couldn't write a single stroke of the pen in his hand.
The death of Concubine Wan didn't hit Gu Yuanbai as big as destroying his mind, but it was by no means small.
He had already prepared for the death of Concubine Wan, and Concubine Wan lived at least half a year longer than what the imperial doctor said. But when the day really came, after the incident, 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 guest from the Prince's residence, Gu Yuanbai almost hated the Prince.
But hatred is a very consuming thing.
Gu Yuanbai quickly calmed down.
Reason always prevails, but occasionally I will think of Concubine Wan, remembering that she has passed away, and occasionally I will fall into an empty situation, and I will repeatedly blame myself for not finding out what was wrong earlier.
If found out, will Concubine Wan be able to live longer
Xue Yuan suddenly said, "Your Highness?"
Gu Yuanbai returned to his senses, and put down his pen pretending to be okay: "I'm a little out of spirit."
Xue Yuan didn't expose him: "Take a few more days off, the imperial doctor said you shouldn't be too tired."
Gu Yuanbai gave a soft "um", 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 on the way back to Hebei from the capital," Tian Fusheng said carefully, "the monks read the scriptures for Concubine Wan for three days, and they followed them all the way. If you come to the capital, according to your schedule, you should arrive in the next two days."
Gu Yuanbai nodded and said wearily, "The monks are kind-hearted, and Concubine Wan liked to burn incense and worship the Buddha before her death, just like the late emperor. This group of monks and concubines have a predestined relationship. After you arrive, you can arrange them well, and the concubine will enter. On the day of Linggong, ask them to recite the scriptures with the monks of Chengbao Temple.”
Tian Fusheng said, "I remember it, little one."
Gu Yuanbai still has a lot of things to do. When he picked up the pen, his mind went blank, but when he put it down, he felt inappropriate, "Yan Mo, I will send a letter to Emperor Xixia."
Xue Yuan frowned, "What kind of letter does the sage want to write?"
Kong Yilin happened to be in the palace, and after he came in, he just heard the words of the sage, and said curiously, "I have this question as well."
"The second prince of Xixia gave me such a great gift, how can I still have a courtesy exchange," Gu Yuanbai raised his chin, "Since you are here, it is up to you to write."
Kong Yilin handed it over, Tian Fusheng sent someone to bring him a chair and a desk, complete with pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Kong Yilin took the pen and asked, "Sir, how should I write?"
"Praise him," Gu Yuanbai raised his lips, "praise Li Angyi to death, and then add 30% of what Xixia paid for. Make sure the emperor of Xixia thinks that if Li Angyi can't ascend to the throne, I would be dissatisfied with it."
Kong Yilin's mind turned extremely fast, and he couldn't help laughing, "I know."
He dipped it in ink, pondered for a while, then flew with his pen and wrote in a flowing manner.
Gu Yuanbai watched his movements, sighed and said, "Kong Qing, your in-laws with Mr. Mi are afraid that it will be three months at night."
"I'm not in a hurry," Kong Yilin said casually, "Master Mi is not in a hurry."
Once the obituary of Concubine Wan's death was issued, all those who made the appointment had to enter the court for a month, and those with a noble family were not allowed to banquets and music for one year, and they were suspended from marrying officials for 100 days. 1
The marriage between Kong Yilin and the daughter of the Mi Da family must also stop, not only them, but also the common people's family cannot marry within three months.
Gu Yuanbai was a little tired, he got up and said, "You write it down, I'm going to take a rest."
Kong Yilin responded and sent the saint away.
In the bedroom, Gu Yuanbai sat beside the bed. The palace attendants all withdrew, leaving Xue Yuan alone.
Xue Yuan is taking off the shoes and socks of the saint.
Gu Yuanbai looked at him from top to bottom, and looked at his face carefully.
Since he woke up, Gu Yuanbai had never had time to look at him so carefully.
In the past, when Xue Yuan was embarrassed, he was afraid that Gu Yuanbai would look at him. But even though he was in a state of embarrassment these few days, he kept staring at Gu Yuanbai, and even felt that the time he spent shaving himself was a waste.
With a shaggy beard and dry skin on his lips, Gu Yuanbai suddenly stretched out his hand and opened Xue Yuan's lips to take a look. Sure enough, there were a few fire bubbles that were about to rot.
Xue Yuan stopped his movements and looked up at Gu Yuanbai.
Gu Yuanbai squeezed his face and said, "You woke up twice from 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 whisper to me several times in your ear, and you will not be satisfied until I answer a few times in a daze."
This was the biggest reason why Gu Yuanbai felt that he had scared Xue Yuan out of the shadows.
Gu Yuanbai originally thought that he was the one who didn't sleep well, but his body was not good enough. No matter how depressed and uncomfortable he was in his heart, he still had to sleep for more than five or six hours a day. The more uncomfortable he was, the longer he slept. Instead, it was Xue Yuan, who was the one who kept waking up in the night.
As long as he didn't see Gu Yuanbai, or if Gu Yuanbai didn't make a sound for a long time, Xue Yuan would panic and wonder if Gu Yuanbai was still alive.
How simple it is to die alone, but in Gu Yuanbai's body, this has completely become a torment.
Xue Yuan wanted to block Gu Yuanbai's Huangquan Road, but how? What if Gu Yuanbai died when he fell asleep at night? His body remembered this deep-seated unease. Once he didn't see Gu Yuanbai for an hour or two, Xue Yuan's instinct would urge him to wake up, and then he went to carefully probe Gu Yuanbai's breath.
The sage only thought that Xue Yuan would wake up twice a night, but in fact, Xue Yuan would wake up and sleep several times a night. He looked at Gu Yuanbai, to see the ups and downs of his chest, the beating of his pulse, sometimes the little emperor's breathing was too shallow, and he was too frightened, so he couldn't help calling Gu Yuanbai in a low voice, listening to him softly. The ground should be heard.
It was the only peace of mind twice 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 said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry?" Gu Yuanbai moved his fingertips a few times and sighed inwardly, "Don't take off my boots, bring a knife and I'll cleanse your face."
Xue Yuan went out of the inner hall, and when he came back, he brought a basin of hot water and a towel, and also held a delicate and exquisite knife in his hand.
Gu Yuanbai asked him to sit down, wiped his chin with a handkerchief, and shaved his stubble little by little along the line of his chin.
"Don't talk," Sheng Shang looked serious, his brows furrowed, his thin white and cold fingers tapped Xue Yuan's face, as if he was doing something big, "If you cut off a piece of your meat, I can't blame me for this. ."
Hearing this, Xue Yuan tensed up immediately.
He could rely entirely on Israel to serve the king.
Gu Yuanbai was happy when he saw him like this. His hands moved slowly, the inner hall was silent for a while, and the saint said slowly: "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, but with this smile, he "hiss" again, and a drop of blood dripped from his chin.
Gu Yuanbai was startled, wiped blood on 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 corner of his lips hard, but he couldn't hold it down, "I just couldn't help laughing."
Gu Yuanbai said coolly, "I can't bear it anymore, when the beard is gone, your handsome face will be ruined by my hands."
Xue Yuan's smile froze, his face narrowed, and after waiting for a while, he said falsely, "Your Majesty is wrong, I can't bear the handsome face, and the most handsome face in the capital is Lord Chu Wei Chu. ."
"Indeed," Gu Yuanbai casually walked to Xue Yuan's left side and bent over, "Chu Qing's face is really handsome."
The corner of Xue Yuan's lips pursed into an unpleasant arc.
Gu Yuanbai carefully cleaned 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 keep mentioning Chu Wei."
Xue Yuan said honestly: "I am not as handsome as he is, and I am worried that the sage likes him."
Gu Yuanbai blinked, and after a while, "Ridiculous."
It's not absurd at all, Chu Wei clearly has a bad heart against the Holy One.
But Xue Yuan couldn't say this. He took out the face-cleaning thing and handed it to the palace attendant. After he came in, he took off the shoes and socks that the saint had put on again. Gu Yuanbai lay on the bed and covered the wall with a quilt.
Xue Yuan arranged the bedding for him behind him, and the sound of Susuo was intermittent. At this time, the charcoal fire inside the kang bed had already been extinguished. Gu Yuanbai only felt that the bedding was cold and cold. He half-drooped his eyelids, "Xue Yuan, come up."
As soon as these words came out, Xue Yuan had already taken off his belt, took off his robes and got on the dragon bed, and warmth was attached from behind him. A pair of hands tentatively touched his waist, and then boldly hugged Gu Yuanbai into his arms.
Gu Yuanbai sighed, lay back comfortably, handed himself over to Xue Yuan completely, and closed his eyes comfortably.
After he fell ill, his body was even colder than before. It was the weather at the end of June, and Xue Yuan had to be covered with a thick quilt with him, so he couldn't help but mutter, "It hurts you."
"Don't be implicated," Xue Yuan couldn't help kissing the back of his neck with his head. He held it back and forcibly stayed away, "If this is implicated, Your Majesty, I beg you to implicate me for the rest of my life."
Gu Yuanbai laughed silently, trembling.
Because during the period of filial piety, everyone is well behaved and does not cross the line. Gu Yuanbai smiled for a while and said, "Then my life may be a little short."
Xue Yuan's brows and eyes were pressed together, the shadows were vaguely raised, and his expression appeared grim.
"General Xue, don't say such things," Gu Yuanbai turned his back to Xue Yuan, not seeing his expression, "I told you once before, and it will stop. I'm not hurting you, Xue Jiu. Haruka, do you know why Concubine Wan deliberately reduced her meetings with me in recent years?"
As he spoke, he remembered the letter that Concubine Wan had written to him during the Chinese New Year. Every sentence in the letter seemed ordinary at the time, but now it can force the eyes of red people, "The colder the weather, the colder I am. Don't forget to add clothes", "I heard a naughty remark from the child today, and the mother and concubine wrote it after it. Can my son see it happily?"…
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 with me, what I said to you earlier, you should treat me as a joke. Is it?"
"Then the sage just dealt with it casually?" The blue veins on Xue Yuan's neck burst out, and he said from the gap between his teeth, "The words I said, you forgot so easily?!"
Gu Yuanbai looked back at him suddenly.
Before the hideous look on Xue Yuan's face had faded away, Gu Yuanbai seemed to be able to hear his clenching his teeth.
Gu Yuanbai, "I'm just telling you one last time, lest you be heartbroken in the future."
He stepped back a little and looked at Xue Yuan with a scrutiny. Xue Yuan is tall and sturdy, with sword brows penetrating into the temples, and his facial features are implicitly sharp. What's more, Xue Yuan is more than that. He has a great figure and 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 him
Xue Yuan's expression softened slightly, but it was still frightening. He pressed Gu Yuanbai's head to his chest, and said fiercely, "Sleep."
Gu Yuanbai thought, "Okay, let's go to sleep."
Just 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 this sentence came out, his face changed suddenly.
Xue Yuan was startled, and then the corners of his eyes and brows filled with a smile that he couldn't help. The laughter in his throat was heavy, 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 didn't hear anything, "Sleep and sleep."
Gu Yuanbai fell asleep with an ugly face.
Before falling asleep, he seemed to have heard a strange sound from Xue Yuan holding back his laughter.
Xue Yuan clenched his fists and slammed the quilt heavily, excitedly wanting to go down and run for a few laps to practice a few knives.
His heart beat faster and faster, and his 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 Israel!
His eyes lit up, he hugged Gu Yuanbai firmly, resisted his excitement and waited for the saint to wake up. After a while, the excitement was suppressed, and panic emerged again. Xue Yuan cautiously went to probe the snort on Tan Sheng again, and his breathing was shallow and fine.
Xue Yuan took a deep breath, pressed against Gu Yuanbai's head, and closed his eyes.
