How could Gu Yuanbai smile at him so nicely

What does it mean.

When he left Zhang's bookstore, Xue Yuan was so confused that he could hardly tell the difference between east, west, north and south. But when he saw Chu Wei, who was standing in front of Zhang's bookstore, he instantly woke up.

There was a book boy next to Chu Wei, who should have come to buy books. He was also a little surprised when he saw this group of people. When Gu Yuanbai came out of the bookstore, Chu Wei quickly stepped forward and was about to salute, but Gu Yuanbai promptly supported his arms.

"It doesn't have to be like this," Gu Yuanbai said with a smile. "Today, if you wear a regular attire, these etiquettes will be avoided."

Chu Wei then straightened up and said, "Holy Lord Wan'an."

Gu Yuanbai smiled slightly and walked into the street with him, "Is Chu Qing here to buy books today?"

"I want to buy a copy of Daheng Guobao," Chu Wei said with a wry smile. "I didn't expect it to sell so hot. I heard that the daily bookstore opens, and it will be sold out in less than a quarter of an hour."

Since the "Daheng Guobao" was born, people from all yamen and prefectures have taken the initiative to deliver the newspaper to the door every day. Although a small copy, it is enough for colleagues to circulate it to each other in one day. Therefore, when it was worth it on weekdays, Chu Wei never knew that it would be so difficult to buy a copy of "Daheng Guobao".

Today’s break, the Chu family’s father and son are used to reading the “Daheng Guobao” once a day. If they don’t read it today, they always feel that something is missing, and they feel extremely uncomfortable. But I didn't expect "Daheng Guobao" to be so difficult to buy. Among the bookstores in the entire capital, only Zhang's bookstore has a few hundred copies.

Gu Yuanbai raised his brows and called out, "Tian Fusheng."

Tian Fusheng stepped forward, took out a copy of "Daheng Guobao" and handed it to Chu Wei, and said with a smile, "Master Chu, take it."

Chu Wei was startled for a moment, then the corners of his lips twitched, and he smiled in a spring breeze. He thanked the saint and Tian Fusheng, handed the newspaper to the stiff book boy in his home, and walked with the saint.

Xue Yuan on the other side evoked a kind smile, and the two chief guards on the same side said nicely, "Master Zhang, what do you think of Master Chu?"

The captain of the guard said solemnly: "Master Chu is talented and handsome, and he is the backbone of the country."

Xue Yuan smiled even deeper, and nodded in agreement: "Master Chu is so talented, no wonder the Sage loves him so much."

The head guard said: "The Holy One has always loved talents."

"It also depends on whether it's worth being loved by the saint," Xue Yuan narrowed his eyes and gestured with his chin raised, "Look."

The head guard looked at Dingqing in the direction, and saw Lord Chu looking at the saint with a smile in his eyes, and ripples seemed to appear on his icy face. The appearance of the most beautiful man in the capital is definitely unparalleled, and when his black eyes look at people with a smile, it is as if he is looking at a lover.

The captain of the guard was inexplicable.

Xue Yuan's voice sounded indifferently: "Unfortunately, I heard it, Lord Chu seems to like men."

The face of the head guard changed completely, and there was a strong push behind him. Xue Yuan pushed the head guard directly in front of Gu Yuanbai. Gu Yuanbai stopped talking with Chu Wei and said sideways, "What?"

The head guard waited for a long time before saying, "There are still more than ten days before the lantern festival in the capital. Recently, many people have started making lanterns. Would you like to take a look at the sage?"

Gu Yuanbai didn't feel that something was wrong, but was intrigued by these words.

After passing through, Gu Yuanbai never left the palace when he was not in power. After he was in power, he was busy and never saw the lively festival scene in ancient times, so he was quite yearning: "But Xiaoman's day?"

The captain of the guard secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Exactly."

Chu Wei replied naturally: "The mother in the minister's family has recently prepared the materials for making lanterns. If the sage is interested, the minister can go back to the mansion and try it out in person."

The captain of the guard glanced at Chu Wei oddly, with vigilance in his eyes.

Gu Yuanbai was really interested, he nodded and said, "If that's the case, then I'll follow Chu Qing to have a look."

The nervousness that Chu Wei unconsciously mentioned dissipated, and he smiled as he should, and accompanied the saint to lead the way.

Xue Yuan stepped forward with a sneer, and suddenly interjected: "Sir, Lord Chu was not injured a few days ago, but now I don't know if the injury is healed."

Chu Wei lowered his eyes, the haze in his eyes disappeared in a blink of an eye, while he was speaking, he didn't expect the sage to suddenly raise his lips and smile, gave him and Xue Yuan a meaningful look, and joked: "I don't know, it turns out that the two ministers have already So familiar."

In a word, the faces of the two people were ugly.

Gu Yuanbai didn't know what to think, he raised his eyebrows slightly and turned his head with a smile.

Seeing his expression, Xue Yuan's heart suddenly burst: "Your Majesty, this minister is not familiar with Lord Chu."

Gu Yuanbai smiled and said: "I know, no need to say more."

What do you know

Xue Yuan's head hurts.

In this indescribable atmosphere, a group of people came to the door of Chu Mansion. Chu Wei's book boy finally regained some shrewdness, shaking all over, ran forward to knock on the door, and when the doorman opened, he anxiously whispered: "The Holy Master is here, hurry up and inform the master and wife!"

The concierge was stunned: "Huh?"

The book boy eagerly pushed him, "Come on!"

The gate of the mansion was wide open, and as soon as Gu Yuanbai stepped into the mansion with one foot, he saw Lord Chu Xun, dressed in normal clothes, rushing in a little messy. Yuan Bai saluted.

"No need to be more polite," Gu Yuanbai said with a smile, "I heard that Mrs. Zun was making lanterns recently. I was curious and didn't invite me here."

Lord Chu Xun hurriedly said that he did not dare, and immediately sent someone to invite his wife, the screen was erected, and the wife was inside, and her voice was tight to explain to Gu Yuanbai one by one.

Gu Yuanbai sat at the table, but he was calm. He moved slowly according to what Mrs. Chu said, and after such a moment, Mrs. Chu also calmed down a lot.

These utensils for making lanterns have been checked by the people around them, and Gu Yuanbai didn't pay too much attention when using them. But when he picked up a slender piece of bamboo and wiped it in the palm of his hand, he couldn't help but feel pain. He frowned and saw that there was a tiny thorn on the bamboo piece, and the thorn had pierced into his palm. .

The guards' hands were covered with hard calluses, and the palace servants' hands were accustomed to doing the work even if they were soft. They checked them very carefully, but this small, almost invisible thorn may have been newly ground under the inspection of these hands. Spikes come out.

Xue Yuan immediately noticed what was wrong with him. He strode closer, his robes were flying, and he lowered his head and held Gu Yuanbai's hand. After getting closer to see clearly, his voice sank: "Bring a needle."

Someone brought the needle over, but no one dared to use the needle to pick at the small thorn, and they all cast their eyes on Xue Yuan with hope and encouragement.

Xue Yuan thought to himself, how many people have I killed and how much blood I have seen, and I am afraid of picking a thorn

But the hand was stalemate and could not go on, Xue Yuan finally raised his head and looked at the saint, "Holy, are you afraid of pain?"

Gu Yuanbai was about to say that it didn't hurt when he stabbed his palm, and the tiny spike was picked out by Xue Yuan.

Xue Yuan looked at the spikes and sneered twice, crushed the spikes on his fingers, then smiled at Gu Yuanbai, and said with suffocation: "Sir, this minister has avenged you."

Thick-skinned and naive. Gu Yuanbai was happy, "This little thorn can't help Xue Guard's hand."

With a move in Xue Yuan's heart, he raised the hand of the saint who was still holding it, lowered his head and blew his palm, and said, "The hand of the saint is also very beneficial."

Gu Yuanbai asked, "How do you say it?"

"Good..." Good to touch, good-looking, everything is good.

Xue Yuan remembered the kick he was kicked to the descendant root before, his expression twisted slightly for a moment, but he felt that if the saint kicked him again, he would be kicked, and he felt uncomfortable.

So he said honestly: "It is as soft and touchable as jade."

"Your Highness!" Chu Wei spoke suddenly, his voice raised, overshadowing what Xue Yuan said, he smiled and said gently, "I will check the remaining bamboo and wood again, okay?"

Chu Weibian said that he had already stretched out his hand, and the hands of these scholars were actually not tender. Chu Wei was never someone who was powerless. Gu Yuanbai glanced at this beautiful jade-like hand, shook his head and said, "It's not necessary, I've done it halfway, just be more careful."

It was the first time in his life to make lanterns, and now Gu Yuanbai had the excitement of a young man, and he was still holding it down. Follow Mrs. Chu's teaching as calmly and calmly as possible to draw the outline, and then paste the lamp paper.

When the sage was majestic and intimidating in the courtroom, now this very serious look seems approachable. The fingers are flying on the lanterns, how beautiful it looks like a painting.

Chu Wei was fascinated by it for a while, and when the lantern was finished, he took the initiative to step forward and said, "Sir, would you like my minister to paint a few red plums on the lantern?"

"Alright." Gu Yuanbai was pleased.

The two of them were in harmony, smiling at each other from time to time. Xue Yuan looked at it, and his face became expressionless. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly laughed and made a silent "ha" to the sky.

The hand holding the sword trembled with anger.

after dispersion.

Xue Yuan returned to the Xue Mansion with a blank expression. He was full of black suffocating aura, and no one in the mansion dared to approach him.

General Xue was urged over by Mrs. Xue, with his hands behind his back, and said with a serious face: "Who are you showing your face in the mansion?"

Xue Yuan slashed with a knife, and he cut a wooden shelf in half. He didn't stop moving at all, and continued to play the big knife with no expression on his face.

In the end, he threw the big knife and kicked the shelf next to the weapon.

The little servant who heard the sound looked into his head and saw Xue Yuan's dark face. He immediately shrank his head and hurriedly escaped.

General Xue shouted angrily, "Xue Yuan!"

"You said last time that I was loyal to the sage," Xue Yuan said suddenly, but did not look at General Xue, as if in a trance, his face was ugly, "Are you sure this is the loyalty of the king?"

General Xue said, "What else would it be?"

Xue Yuan's back was tense, his breathing became heavier and heavier, the answer was in his mouth, but he couldn't say anything. Finally, he tore off his collar and said in a deep voice, "The Holy One is going to attack the nomads."

General Xue was taken aback.

Xue Yuan turned around and faced him, his collar was messed up and his eyes were bloodshot: "I will join the war."

big inside.

Gu Yuanbai was looking at the secret report sent by the Supervision Office.

This is a letter sent back by an official named Sun Shan from the Supervision Department. The above mentioned the situation of Lizhou. This Lizhou knows that there is also corruption in the state, but the number is not large and the methods are concealed. Originally, Gu Yuanbai only thought that he was involved in the party dispute, but the Supervision Office has been investigating for many days, but found some clues buried under it.

Following the vines, what I finally found out was simply disgusting.

In layman's terms, Lizhou Zhizhou has a circle of friends.

Those who can join this circle of friends are all powerful leaders in the bandit den.

Lizhou Zhizhou is not greedy for local money. What he likes to do most is to take advantage of the convenience of his official position to inquire about the route of the government's transportation of salaries and grains to various places, or the silver and truckloads of local transportation to the imperial court. The route of the food, and then the specific information of the teams passing through Lizhou, when they passed, which way they took, how many people there were, etc., were all reported to this circle of friends. Then the bandit dens in the circle of friends will look at the battle of the transport team, choose a few bandit den alliances, and go to intercept these things together.

In addition to the division of the bandit chiefs, only Lizhou Zhizhou alone can get 30% of the intercepted things.

Thirty percent, one hundred taels of silver can be greedy for 30 taels, and one million taels can be greedy for 300,000 taels!

Not only that, Lizhou Zhizhou also sent the team route of Lizhou to the imperial tax silver to the circle of friends, guiding these bandits to rob the silver and grain collected locally in Lizhou. If there is too much food, then resell it and sell it locally and everywhere. It is even more abhorrent than simply embezzling state funds!

Lizhou Zhizhou also knew that this circle of friends should be set so that outsiders cannot search and cannot be found, and that friends in the circle cannot add friends to each other. He knows that he must maintain records in the group and prohibit external transmission, and thoroughly maintain this circle of friends as a piece of iron.

The people in the Supervision Office knew the existence of this "circle of friends", or it was because the leader of a bandit den robbed a woman to go up the mountain to be a concubine. Seeing that the silver wealth that was transported back to the cottage was wrong, she kept an eye in her heart, and she took the matter of Zhizhou out of the mouth of the bandit leader.

The woman was shattered, and she had no hope of living. When he was sent down the mountain for medical treatment by the little minions in the mountain, he met someone from the supervision department.

The people from the Supervision Office have now settled the woman, but the woman has lost her anger after finding out that her family has been killed by the villains, and she is afraid that she will die after they leave.

Gu Yuanbai, who had been staring at the secret letter expressionlessly, frowned at this moment and sighed faintly.

Women, no matter what the world is, are always more difficult than men.

Corrupt officials, as long as they want to be greedy, there is always a way. Gu Yuanbai has no desire to comment on the actions of the prefect of Lizhou, but he feels pity for this woman.

Even if he was captive to the top of the mountain, he didn't sink, he didn't give up hope of going back, and he was still trying to report to the government. With such courage alone, he could be called a woman and not a man. And she is not only courageous, it is also a kind of excellent wisdom to notice the uneven distribution of spoils, and to learn about the collusion between the officials and the bandits from the head of the bandits.

It would be a pity for such a woman to be forced to death by the wicked.

Gu Yuanbai replied to the channel, if possible, bring him back to the Supervision Office.

After replying to the letter, someone sent the letter.

Gu Yuanbai stood up and walked towards the inner hall. The palace attendants took off his clothes and prepared clean water for him. Gu Yuanbai looked up at the carvings on the pillars in the hall, and said silently in his heart, Lizhou knows the state, and it is too cheap to catch him alone. It is necessary to make good use of his circle of friends and wipe out this group of officials and bandits.

He took a long breath, waved away the crowd, and stood by the window.

The lantern that was made during the day was placed on the table, Gu Yuanbai caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, and walked over to light the lantern.

As soon as the warm yellow light came on, the shadows of a few simple and divine plum blossoms were cast on the table. Gu Yuanbai lit the lantern, the flames on his face were bright and dark, but his mood was a little better.

Peace and prosperity.

When everyone has enough to eat and wears warm clothes, when they know the etiquette in the warehouse, and when they have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace, that is the real peace and prosperity.

Xue Yuan sat beside the bed all night.

Damascus sat with a golden knife, his legs stretched out.

The eyes are heavy, carrying wind and rain.

Crazy, only restrained in front of Gu Yuanbai. Why converge? Afraid that he could not stand his madness, that he would hurt him.

But this kind of stuffy, depressed state that was about to burst out was not suitable to stay by Gu Yuanbai's side.

But as long as the thought of leaving Gu Yuanbai...

Xue Yuan tightened his hands, bloodshot all over.

He stood up abruptly and strode towards the wolf ring. The heart of loyalty to the king, the heart of loyalty to the king, his mother's heart of loyalty to the king is this kind of heart

Just the thought of the little emperor smiling at another man who Xiao Xiang him will make you angry

The little emperor's smile, the little emperor's hand.

The little emperor wants wolf cubs.

The next day, when Xue Yuan was on duty with two wolf cubs, he heard that Gu Yuanbai was ill.

This was the first time since he vomited blood that day, and it came so aggressively that Gu Yuanbai didn't know what was going on, so he fell ill all of a sudden.

Unexpectedly, all the people in the palace were busy, and the people in the Taiyuan Hospital were in a hurry. When Xue Yuan came to the palace, the smell of medicine was strong, and Gu Yuanbai had already drank the medicine and was resting.

Xue Yuan gave the two wolf cubs in his arms to the eunuch in the palace who specialized in caring for animals, and entered the inner palace gate. Gu Yuanbai was lying on the bed, coughing in a low voice.

Headache, cough, and chills all over.

Tian Fusheng was on the side, Xue Yuan walked in, only to realize that Gu Yuanbai was still talking in a low voice: "... Today's anti-corruption does not need me to watch all the time, you let the Political Council and the Privy Council The people in the middle of the city pay more attention, the matter of the Lizhou prefecture, just do as I just said."

Tian Fusheng kept answering, "Sir, rest in peace."

There is something in the medicine to help sleep, and Gu Yuanbai's eyes are closed or open. How frail.

The quilt was icy cold, and all kinds of methods had been used, but the heat would always be dissipated by Gu Yuanbai's icy hands and feet.

He was so tired that he didn't even want to talk about the cold words in the quilt. He thought that it would gradually warm up.

There was no movement on the dragon bed, and the sage did not like to be disturbed when he was sleeping. Tian Fusheng led the people back down. Xue Yuan followed the door god and stuck beside the dragon bed. Tian Fusheng called him softly for a long time before he said hoarsely: "I'm watching here."

Tian Fusheng's voice was as low as a mosquito, "Xue Guard, the sage doesn't like it..."

"Mr. Tian," Xue Yuan interrupted softly, "I'm hot all over my body, like a stove, I can just cover my hands with the Sage."

Tian Fusheng stopped talking, glanced at the saint on the bed, and seeing that the saint had no objection, he took the others to retreat.

But in fact, Gu Yuanbai was just too uncomfortable to hear their conversation.

The door to the inner hall was closed, and the incense sank. Xue Yuan took a deep breath and glanced at Liang Zi above his head, thinking how could he get sick so easily

He steadied his trembling hands and suppressed his burning heart. Kneeling on one knee beside the bed, one hand reached into the quilt, only to feel the coldness of the hand.

Gu Yuanbai let out a low cough, the next moment the quilt was lifted, and a hot body was stuck behind him.

Xue Yuan took off his coat and boots, got on the dragon bed, and hugged Gu Yuanbai from behind. Before Gu Yuanbai frowned, he heard Xue Yuan whisper in his ear: "Just to warm you up. warm."

Like a large stove, he was close to Gu Yuanbai, who was cold all over his body, his words were low, and his breath was hot: "Sir, only this time, you will beat and scold your ministers later, and make them suffer on a board and kneel on porcelain. film, or drowning the minister in water, anything is fine.”

As Xue Yuan spoke, he stretched out his hand without being able to refuse, circled Gu Yuanbai from behind, and held his equally cold and frightening hand.

This temperature is too comfortable, Gu Yuanbai's head is dizzy, but he suddenly remembers that Xue Yuan is the male protagonist of Danmeiwen, such a man will like men sooner or later.

So he said hoarsely, "Get off."

Xue Yuan almost wrapped Gu Yuanbai in his arms.

Except for the four words daring, there are no other words to describe Xue Yuan.

But it was because of this that Xue Yuan had the opportunity to hold the little emperor in his arms.

He hugged Gu Yuanbai tightly, "Your Majesty, the minister said it. When you warm up, you can punish the minister however you want."

"I just hope that you can spare your life because of the loyalty of the minister," Xue Yuan smiled lowly and sighed, "It's okay to break the minister's legs."

The scalding temperature came from behind him, Xue Yuan warmed the whole dragon bed as soon as he got up, Gu Yuanbai became more and more dizzy, and before he fell into a deep sleep, he said, "You are allowed to climb the dragon bed once."

Nothing beats your comfort.

He was used to being pampered and had a strong personality. Gu Yuanbai only thought for three seconds. No matter if he likes men or women, nothing is more important than his own comfort.

Warming the bed for him deserves a reward.

Xue Yuan was startled.

After a long while, his chest was stuffy, "Fuck."

He grabbed Gu Yuanbai's hand, and felt uncomfortably excited because of this sentence. The whole body was tense, afraid of embarrassing the little emperor, so he secretly moved back.

Gu Yuanbai noticed that the warmth was slightly away, his brows wrinkled, he leaned back and pressed him.

The little emperor threw his arms into his arms and made Xue Yuan's heart of loyalty to the king thump up again. The entire inner hall was silent, and the sound was so noisy. Xue Yuan glanced at the top of Gu Yuanbai's head, then at his chest, and put his hand under Gu Yuanbai's head, for fear that the annoying sound would make him loud.

Gradually, Gu Yuanbai's body also felt warm, and the fingers in Xue Yuan's hands began to heat up. Gu Yuanbai rested on Xue Yuan's body, Xue Yuan couldn't make a big move, he could only raise his body slightly to see how Gu Yuanbai was doing now.

Looking at it, I saw Gu Yuanbai's sleepy face.

Just a sleepy face made Xue Yuan fascinated five times. Xue Yuan watched for a long time, and only regained his senses when his whole body was numb. His eyes were always on the little emperor's lips, the color of his lips was very pale, but it was warmed by Xue Yuan's body and turned into red, soft and lovely.

Strange thing, why is it that in Xue Yuan's eyes, other men who are beautiful are just like girls, but Gu Yuanbai is not like that

Oh, no, when he first saw Gu Yuanbai, Xue Yuan also thought that he was prettier than girls and lacked manly.

Holding Gu Yuanbai was the same as holding a baby, the anger that was so heavy yesterday was instantly dissipated. He was happy and willing to be punished, but Xue Yuan felt that he was seriously ill.

His heart was beating more and more fiercely, Xue Yuan thought, could it be that he was also weak and let Gu Yuanbai get sick

In the end, his mouth was dry and uncomfortable, but he let go of Gu Yuanbai reluctantly, and got out of bed to find water to drink.

As soon as Nuan Yi left, Gu Yuanbai struggled uncomfortably to wake up from his sleep. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xue Yuanyuan slowly approaching the bed with a glass of water. He got up, snatched the cup from Xue Yuan's hand, Gululu took a sip, and fell asleep after drinking.

Xue Yuan glanced at the empty cup, and then glanced at the trace of water that slid down Gu Yuanbai's lips along his chin.

His Adam's apple rolled, and he tugged at the neckline in discomfort.

He actually wanted to lick the water on Gu Yuanbai's chin? !
