Half a month later.
Mr. Wang walked from the path to the back of the kitchen, and in a few moments, the vendor who was transporting ingredients to the Prince of Harmony's mansion appeared here, and the vendor whispered, "Sir, the place you were talking about still hasn't shown up with the person you were waiting for."
Mr. Wang frowned and gave the vendor silver, entrusting him to continue waiting.
Odd. According to reason the spices from the coast should not be broken for so long, now has been half a month, the spices in the mansion has not much left, see the Prince of peace is about to notice the body is not right, Mr. Wang heart anxious, however, more anxious, is worried that the big event has changed.
After that, it was another half a month before Mr. Wang finally got the news from the outside with all the means at his disposal
The emperor has been aware of the matter of poisonous incense, coastal spices have been banned, the sailors stationed at the sea port, a touch.
Beads of sweat seeped out from the corners of Mr. Wang's forehead as he burned the letter and looked at the master bedroom in the Prince of Harmony's mansion with obscure eyes.
The late Emperor Daheng had two sons at his knee. One is the current emperor, and the other is a prince who is renowned in the world, they originally thought that it would only be beneficial for them if Gu Convergence sat on the throne, after all, how can an emperor with a soft ear, no vigor, and a short lifespan of weakness be better dealt with than Gu Zhaoyang, the emperor who has the right to have soldiers in his hands and is young and healthy.
But no one expected that the one who was difficult to deal with was Gu Convergence instead.
Gu Convergence's ambition was too great and too ruthless; he was a completely different person from the late Emperor. But Gu Convergence had a weakness that could not be hidden nor erased, and that was his body that could kill him at any time.
When the Emperor of Daheng died unexpectedly, who else but the Prince of Harmony could have risen to the throne?
But the Prince of Harmony is not that easy to deal with.
So, then there was no choice but to find a way to keep the Prince of Harmony under control, so that a bad king would become a good king.
The Prince of peace is strong and very alert, Mr. Wang can use the spice of the opportunity is very little, until a year ago a rainy day, the Prince of peace robe feet deer blood points, woefully back to the house, Mr. Wang then only found an opportunity.
He listened to the Princess's request when he went to persuade the King in those days, and the spices burned just when the King was in a state of uncertainty.
The spice dragged the king into the midst of the ethereal nothingness, and when his eyes were inert, his mouth was slightly open, and Mr. Wang stepped forward then, and listened with sideways ears to the words that came out of the king's mouth.
"Gu Convergence, put on your shoes."
Mr. Wang wanted to know more, so he lit another ten or so sticks of smoky incense. Smoke lingered within the bedroom, and the light fragrance slowly became strong.
The Prince of Harmony then dreamed of Gu Yuanbai frequently amidst that rich fragrance.
He did not know the matter of spices, only felt that Gu Yuanbai seems to be everywhere, open his eyes is him, closed his eyes is also him. Just drink a few mouthfuls of deer blood after the dry heat, after those days down, hardened into a dirty mind that can not see the light.
This kind of mind makes Gu Zhao feel as if he is struggling in a pool of sludge, and the more he moves, the faster he gets stuck.
When you turn your head in the daytime, you will see Gu Yuanbai with a smile on her face. After going to bed, you will also see the image of Gu Yuanbai sitting on the side of the bed, bending down to take off her shoes and socks.
His hair passed from both sides of his fair neck, his back curved into a slim arc of a full moon bow, and when he saw Prince He was looking at him, he raised his head with a tail of his eyes, seemingly smiling, "My good elder brother, what are you looking at me for?"
One day at a time, the Prince of Harmony was blushing in the midst of such hallucinations and completely sunk. Only by covering his head with a quilt can he let his beating heart slow down for a moment, and let his brain, which is full of Gu Yuanbai, rest for a few moments.
It was then that Mr. Wang learned the secret of the Prince of Peace.
He was overjoyed, and even more so, he kept guiding the Prince of Harmony's mind towards the Emperor in secret, and all the paintings about the Holy Spirit in the Prince of Harmony's secret room were colored with spices mixed in, so that after seeing and smelling for a long time, he would never come out of the room again. A Prince of Harmony who has both a drug addiction and a handle in their hands, that is simply the perfect material to be an emperor.
Wang looked at the Prince of Peace's master bedroom for a moment and turned to leave down the path.
Everything is going well, only Gu Hui is too sharp, he has checked the line of spices, if we do not do something, I am afraid that there will never be a chance to flip.
Now, it has come to the critical juncture where Gu Hui should die and the Prince of Harmony should ascend to the throne.

The Western Xia emissary's windchill was finally cured by the end of the month.
At the same time, the news that Gu Yuanbai had sent the Supervision Office forward to spy on Western Xia had reached him first.
This is the time of lunch, the meal has been sent up. Gu Yuanbai is not in a hurry for a moment, and after finishing the meal properly, he got up and wiped his hands, and took the news that Tian Fusheng had handed over to him.
The situation in Western Xia is said to be serious, and it is indeed serious. But if we say that it is not serious, it can also be justified.
It is just interesting that, in addition to the several straw sons of the Western Xia Emperor, those imperial sons who are highly respected and very much favored by the hundred officials have all inhaled the Western Xia's national incense in order to please their father's heart.
Was it fun? Very funny.
The second prince of Western Xia gave Gu Yuanbai a story, but he said clearly, after knowing the harmful effects of this material, only to realize that the momentum has been unstoppable. Gu Yuanbai has always wanted to know how he knew that this thing is harmful, and how he knew that this thing is involved with Fusan.
He could have not told Gu Yuanbai these words, or he could have told his lies in a more sophisticated manner, but he deliberately did so, as if he was doing so just to leave two or three openings for Gu Yuan to drill into, so that Gu Yuanbai could come and look deeper inside.
"Go and invite the Second Prince of Western Xia here," Gu Yuanbai smiled, placing the message on the candle flame and burning it, "These things, there's no chance that they're what people want me to know."
Tian Fusheng was puzzled, "But Your Holiness, this is information that our Inspection Office personally went to find out."
Gu Yuanbai shook his head, "The scouts from other countries came to Daheng in just two months, do you think they could have scouted out such detailed and accurate information?"
Tian Fusheng was stumped and couldn't speak.
"Even if the Supervision Department outperforms others by a wide margin, it can't reach such speed," Gu Yuanbai said, "These messages are so detailed that it would be better to say that they probed them out than to say that it's the second prince of Xixia who gave me a gift."
However, it is to make their own words broken, and when Gu Yuanbai personally go to check, then hands in a hundred broken, as a means to do to gain trust in Gu Yuanbai.

The Second Prince of Western Xia came quickly.
Gu Yuanbai was too lazy to beat around the bush with him, and after letting someone give him a seat, he opened his mouth and said, "Second Prince, if you want me to help you, there has to be some sincerity."
Li Aung Yi's smile was slightly bitter, "It's not that I'm not sincere, but these things are checked out by the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit will believe what comes out of my mouth when he sees it with his own eyes."
Gu Yuanbai laughed coldly in his heart, I checked the information you put out to believe your words, do I look that stupid?
A slight smile on his face, not answering.
Li Aung Yi coughed lightly, stood up and saluted, "Please also listen to me one by one."
"Serve tea," Gu Yuanbai said, "please."
Li Aung Yi's eyes showed his memories as he slowly spoke.
According to his words, his mother had saved the life of a merchant before entering the palace. The merchant gave ten thousand gold, after the death of Li Aung Yi's mother, the merchant will transfer this favor to Li Aung Yi's body, because Li Aung Yi step by step difficult, in the palace is very difficult, the merchant will be in the death of Li Aung Yi, will be a life-saving things to Li Aung Yi.
Li Aung Yi smiled, the thick clouds outside the temple blocked the sun, the light darkened, he said, "That thing, is the Western Xia State Fragrance trafficking."
Gu Yuanbai narrowed his eyes and said, "Continue."
"I only thought it was ordinary spices at first," Li Aung Yi was not in a hurry and even gave a helpless smile, "Who would have thought that there were such things in this world? When I first started selling spices, I was mesmerized by the wealth in it. Perhaps there were a few moments of doubt or a feeling of impropriety, but in front of the gold and silver treasures, these became floating clouds."
"I will make it bigger and bigger, sell more and more, more and more to the people in the palace also began to use this kind of spice that can refresh the mind, mojo who would not have thought that the most incompetent and weakest second prince in Western Xia would be the richest one in Western Xia," Li Aung Yeh, "to say that it is a bit funny. "
Gu Yuanbai laughed twice and said coldly, "You have saved enough wealth to plot for the throne, and you want to gather forces that can support you. At this time, you suddenly realized that a Western Xia emperor cannot secretly traffic in nationals that are harmful to the national fragrance. That's why you want to stop, only 'steeply' recognized the harmful effects of the national incense. You want to ally with me, not for the sake of Western Xia, but you want to eradicate the black hand behind the scenes. Let them have no handle on you in their hands, unable to clamp down on you, so that you can easily and cleanly compete for the throne, to be a good prince who removes the great harm for the country and the people."
Li Aon Yi paused and opened up with a half-laugh, "You startled me with that."
Gu Yuanbai raised an eyebrow, his light-colored lips hooking up as he teased, "Isn't that the case with the Second Prince?"
Li Aung Yi sighed and sipped a mouthful of tea to moisten his throat, "As soon as your words get out, I'm going to be drowned by a mouthful of spittle from the people of Western Xia."
"Can't drown you," Gu Yuanbai also picked up the tea bowl, eyes downcast, the cups cover up the color in his eyes, "I only said casually."
A little later, Gu Yuanbai and Li Yangyi resumed talking about spices, and in less than a moment, Li Yangyi resigned and left.
Gu Yuanbai silently finished half a cup of tea and called the imperial physician who had gone to the post house to treat the Xixia man to him, "Are the diseases all healed?"
The imperial physician returned, "Back to Your Majesty, I have healed them all."
Gu Yuanbai told them to go back and called Xue Yuan again.
Xue Yuan bowed in a serious manner, "Your Holiness?"
"Go break the legs of the second prince of Western Xia," Gu Yuanbai said breezily, "There has to be a reason to keep someone in Daheng."
The second prince of Western Xia this person is too Yin, what he said can not be fully believed, believe a three achievement is the limit. Gu Yuanbai will have to check further down the line, and only after checking clearly will he know whether this partner is a sheep, or a wolf in sheep's clothing.
