When the Son of Heaven is angry, he ambushes millions of corpses.

Wang's heart fluttered.

He looked at Gu Yuanbai's eyes, the hatred and anger within them were overwhelming. Emperor Daheng's anger was completely aroused by him, and he wanted to take the entire Fusang to sacrifice the spirit of Imperial Concubine Wan in heaven.

"You ......" Mr. Wang clenched his hands and pressed down his remorse, "It was me who killed Mrs. Wan, if you want to kill, kill me."

"How can I kill you," Gu Yuanbai laughed softly, "What kind of a thing are you?"

His chest gradually calmed down, but Wang became more and more agitated, he was appalled by those words spoken by Gu Yuanbai, Wang didn't want to see that kind of day, he deluded himself and slammed towards the cold blade of his neck, expecting to die in this way, and to die with the residual hope that Fusang wouldn't have to bear the wrath of the Emperor of Daheng because of him.

But Gu Yuanbai withdrew his sword in time.

The saint looked at him condescendingly, "Mr. Wang can't die now, if you die, no one will be able to celebrate the matter of the coastal navy's victory with me."

The guards stepped forward and pulled both of Mr. Wang down, Mr. Wang's face turned red as he struggled with all his strength to try and pounce towards Gu Yuanbai, "Gu Convergence, you shall not die!"

The guards gagged Mr. Wang, and the hall was finally quiet.

Gu Yuanbai coughed against his fist and handed the knife to Xue Yuan. Xue Yuan stepped forward to take it from him before holding his hand and bringing him to the top of the seat.

Xue Yuan's every move was careful, without any other reason than because Gu Yuanbai's hand was too weak. It was so white that the blood floating in it was clear as day, as if it would shatter in his hand if he exerted the slightest bit of force.

Gu Yuanbai felt as if he had left a few shadows on Xue Yuan.

Even now, Xue Yuan has to be looking at him at all times, preferring not to eat or drink, but also not wanting Gu Yuanbai to leave his eyes. If Gu Yuanbai reveals a few moments of his body insecurity, he will reveal a ...... kind of expression that will make Gu Yuanbai look at it and breathe a sigh of relief.

After sitting down, Gu Yuanbai rested for a long time before his eyelids flicked up and he looked at the Prince of Harmony.

The corners of the Prince of Harmony's mouth were pursed in a cold, hard and straight line, his fingers drooping in silence.

"Prince He," Gu Yuanbai said in a low voice, "look, this is the gatekeeper of your house."

After waking up from his coma, Gu Yuanbai snapped back to the smell of spices he had smelled in Prince He's study that day.

The Prince of Harmony is, in plain sight, the first son of the late Emperor who was fostered in his brother's family in his early years, and is the eldest son of the late Emperor, so if a foreign enemy wants to make a move against Gu Yuanbai, the Prince of Harmony is indeed the best seedling for a successor.

This was exactly why Gu Yuanbai would not give the Prince of Peace military power.

After Gu Yuanbai figured it out, he sent people to closely monitor the Prince of Peace's mansion, using the Prince of Peace as the center to conduct an investigation in all directions. Mr. Wang was careful with his methods, but in the end, he could not hide from Gu Yuanbai's eyes.

His every move as in front of his eyes, when the Prince of Harmony asked for an order to enter the palace, Gu Yuanbai's people secretly approached the Prince of Harmony and gave him a chance to make up for his mistakes.

In the end, Prince He found a party of secret medicine in Mr. Wang's room, and a little evidence of Mr. Wang secretly uniting Daheng officials.

This evidence was a handle left behind by Mr. Wang to prevent the officials from turning against him, and at the end of the day, it became precisely the proof that Gu Yuanbai had convicted these officials.

And the secret medicine, after the death of the Wan Taifei, the Taifei side of a companion for more than twenty years of her palace people also in the second day of the self-immolation death, the death as taking the secret medicine after the death of the very little difference, Gu Yuanbai there is what do not understand?

His mother consort, her health was indeed failing and she did not have long to live.

But it shouldn't be by such underhanded means.

The Prince of Harmony's voice was dry and hoarse, "I beg to apologize."

"It's time to apologize," Gu Yuanbai slowly blinked his eyes, "Once Captain Wang's actions are out of the way, I'll set you off again, as if I'm being more careful. Although you are reckless and stupid, but at least you can distinguish between the big things. I give you two choices, either, you obediently in the Prince of Peace House confinement to death, or, you go to the northern border, do a everyone is not willing to do, always stationed in the north of the army."

Gu Yuanbai was almost harsh, "I will not give you military power, you will forever be subservient under the Chief Soldier, where you will live and die, and you will not be allowed to enter the capital without an edict from me."

Prince He's mouth was bitter, and his gaunt and thin face showed a few points of exhaustion, "I want to make one last effort for His Majesty and Daheng."

Gu Yuanbai raised his hand and waved his sleeve, "Then go ahead and quit the incense."

The palace attendant guided the Prince of Harmony out of the hall. There was finally no one else in the hall, and Gu Yuanbai sat on a chair for a long time before feeling that he should find something to do.

He casually drew out a book of zhengzuo lying on the table, put up his pen and dipped it in ink, but the zhengzuo could not read a single word, and the pen in his hand could not write a single skim or a single stroke.

This matter of Mrs. Wan's death had not brought Gu Yuanbai a blow as great as the one that destroyed his mind, but it was by no means small either.

He has long been prepared for the death of Wan Tai Fei, Wan Tai Fei at least than the imperial doctor said in the mouth of the years to live more than half a year. But when this day really came, after the incident, still feel a little lonely.

After realizing that Mrs. Wan was framed, Gu Yuanbai was almost furious. After finding out that the source was a gatekeeper in Prince He's residence, Gu Yuanbai almost hated even Prince He.

Hate, though, is a very consuming thing.

Gu Yuanbai quickly calmed down.

Reason prevailed at times, but occasionally he would think of Princess Wan, remembering that she had passed away, and occasionally he would fall into an empty situation, and would repeatedly condemn himself for not having realized earlier that something was wrong.

If we find out, will Mrs. Wan be able to live a little longer?

Xue Yuan suddenly said, "Your Holiness?"

Gu Yuanbai returned to his senses and feigned nothing as he put down his pen, "I'm a bit spiritless."

Xue Yuan didn't reveal him, "Rest for a few more days, the imperial physician said that you can't exert yourself too much."

Gu Yuanbai let out a soft "hmm" and simply closed the folders, "When will the coffin of Mrs. Wan arrive at the capital?"

"Wan Tai Fei out of the palace, then on the road met a team of monks from the capital back to Hebei," Tian Fusheng carefully said, "the team of monks for the Wan Tai Fei recited three days of the scripture, but also followed all the way back to the capital, according to the footsteps, it should be two days after the tomorrow should be to."

Gu Yuanbai nodded and said wearily, "The monks are kind-hearted, and during her lifetime, Tai Concubine Wan also enjoyed burning incense and honoring the Buddha like the late emperor, so this team of monks has a destiny with the Tai Concubine. After arriving, you and others will place them properly, and on the day that the dowager consort enters the Spirit Palace, ask them to recite the sutras together with the monks of Chengbao Temple."

Tian Fusheng said, "I remember."

Gu Yuanbai still has many, many things left to do, his brain was blank when he picked up the pen, but he felt bad after putting it down, "Study the ink, I'll go to the Western Xia Emperor with a letter."

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

Kong Yilin just happened to pass into the palace, came in just also heard the words of the saint, curious: "I also have this question."

"The second prince of Western Xia gave me such a great gift, how can I not return the favor," Gu Yuanbai raised his chin, "Since you're here, then you'll be the one to write it."

Kong Yilin arched his hand and answered yes, Tian Fusheng sent people to move him to the chair and case, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are complete, Kong Yilin take pen, asked: "Your Holiness, how should I write?"

"Compliment him," Gu Yuanbai pulled up his lips, "Compliment Li Yangyi to death, and then add thirty percent of what Western Xia has compensated to the compliment. Make sure to make the Emperor of Western Xia think that if Li Yangyi fails to ascend to the throne, I will be displeased with him."

Kong Yilin's brain turned extremely fast, and he didn't hold back a smile, "I know."

He dabbed at the ink and contemplated for a moment, then his pen flew and he wrote in a flowing stream.

Gu Yuanbai watched him move and sighed, "Kong Qing, I'm afraid that your marriage to Lord Mi will be three months late."

"I'm not in a hurry," Kong Yilin said casually as his hands didn't stop, "and neither is Lord Mi."

Once the obituary of the princely consort of Wan was sent out, all the grants were to enter the court with the class for a month, and all the families with titles were not allowed to feast on music for a year, and the marriage ceremony was stopped for a hundred days. ①

Kong Yilin and the rice family's daughter of the marriage is also bound to stop, not only them, the common people's family is likewise not to marry within three months.

Gu Yuanbai's spirit was a bit tired, he got up and said, "You can write, I'll go take some rest."

Kong Yilin responded and respectfully escorted His Holiness away.

In the bedchamber, Gu Yuanbai sat on the edge of the bed. The palace attendants had all retired, leaving Xue Yuan alone inside.

Xue Yuan was taking off the shoes and socks of His Holiness.

Gu Yuanbai looked at him from top to bottom, looking closely at his features.

Since waking up, Gu Yuanbai hadn't had the time to look at him this carefully.

In the past, when Xue Yuan was in a mess, he was afraid that Gu Yuanbai would look at him. But even though he had been in a sorry state these past few days, he had been staring at Gu Yuanbai so hard that he felt it was a waste of time to even shave himself.

Beard pulling, lips so dry that they peeled, Gu Yuanbai suddenly reached out his hand and broke Xue Yuan's lips to take a look, and as expected, the inside ruffled a few fire bubbles that were about to rot.

Xue Yuan's hand movements stopped and he looked up at Gu Yuanbai.

Gu Yuanbai pinched his face and said, "You woke up twice in your dream yesterday. Each time you woke up, you had to run to my side to hug me and pinch my hand, that's all, and you had to whisper in my ear and call me several times until I responded several times in a daze, and only then were you willing to be satisfied and leave."

This was the biggest reason why Gu Yuanbai felt that he had scared Xue Yuan out of his shadow.

Gu Yuanbai had thought that he was the one who slept uneasily, but his body didn't contend for it, and no matter how repressed and difficult it was in his heart, he still had to sleep for more than five or six hours a day, and the more uncomfortable he was, the longer he slept. On the contrary, 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 rise up in panic, and would involuntarily wonder if Gu Yuanbai was still alive.

It was such a dry thing to die a person, but in Gu Yuanbai's case, it had become utterly torturous.

Xue Yuan wanted to block Gu Yuanbai's path to the Yellow Springs, but how? What if Gu Yuanbai had died while he was sleeping at night? His body remembered this bone-deep uneasiness, and once he didn't see Gu Yuanbai for an hour or two, Xue Yuan's instincts urged him to wake up and then go and carefully probe Gu Yuanbai's nostrils.

The saint only thought that Xue Yuan would wake up twice a night, but in fact, Xue Yuan would wake up and go to sleep several times a night. He looked at Gu Yuanbai, to see the rise and fall of his chest, the beating of his pulse, and sometimes the little emperor's breathing was too shallow, and he was too scared, so he couldn't help but whisper Gu Yuanbai, and listen to him respond in a low and soft voice.

Those were the only two times in the night that I had any peace of mind.

Xue Yuan didn't say any of this as he clutched Gu Yuanbai's fingers, the knot in his throat rolling a few times before he whispered, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?" Gu Yuanbai's fingertips moved a few times and sighed darkly in his heart, "Don't take off my boots, bring a small knife, I'll purify your face."

Xue Yuan went out of the inner hall and came back with a basin of hot water and a towel and handkerchief, and in his hand was a luscious and exquisite knife.

Gu Yuanbai made him sit down, took a napkin and wiped across his chin, scraping away the stubble a little along his jawline.

"Don't say anything," His Holiness looked serious, his brows furrowed, and his thin white cold fingers nodded around on Xue Yuan's face as if he were doing something big, "If I cut off a piece of your flesh, this can't be blamed on me."

Xue Yuan sniffed and immediately tensed up his body.

He could be all about serving the king with sex.

Gu Yuanbai looked at him like this and was happy. The movements in his hands were slow, and after a moment of silence in the inner sanctum, the saint slowly said in a low voice, "Xue Yuan, I have to thank you for letting me see the last side of Mrs. Wan."

Xue Yuan's heart was on fire, he couldn't help but want to grin, this grin, and "hiss", a droplet of blood dripped from his chin.

Gu Yuanbai was startled and wiped the beads of blood from him, saying with a black face, "I told you not to move!"

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

Gu Yuanbai coolly said, "If you can't help it any longer, when your beard is gone, this handsome face of yours will be ruined under my hands."

Xue Yuan smile a stiff, convergence, and so after a moment, and false self-effacement: "Your Majesty fallacious praise, I this face can not afford the word handsome, the most handsome face in the capital when Chu Wei Chu adults."

"Indeed," Gu Yuanbai rambled, walking to Xue Yuan's left side and bending down, "Chu Qing's face is dutifully handsome."

The corners of Xue Yuan's lips pursed, curving into an unpleasant arc.

Gu Yuanbai carefully cleaned the stubble on Xue Yuan's face, and General Xue looked dashing and handsome again. Gu Yuanbai put down his knife, wet a towel and handkerchief and wiped the crumbs on his face, and slowly said, "Xue Jiuyao, why do you keep mentioning Chu Wei."

Xue Yuan honestly said, "I'm not as handsome as him, and I'm worried that His Majesty likes him."

Gu Yuanbai blinked, half a moment later, "Ridiculous."

It's not ridiculous at all, Chu Wei clearly has his heart set on His Majesty.

But this was something that Xue Yuan could not say. He took out the purifying face and handed it to the palace attendant, coming in and removing the shoes and socks that His Holiness had re-dressed, Gu Yuanbai lay down on the bed and covered himself with a quilt against the wall.

Behind him, Xue Yuan was arranging the bedding for him, the sound of intermittent tussling. At this time of the year, the carbon fire within the kang bed had long been extinguished, and Gu Yuanbai only felt that the bedding was cold, and he half-drooped his eyelids, "Xue Yuan, come up."

As soon as these words came out, but in an instant, Xue Yuan had already withdrawn his belt and stripped off his robes to get onto the dragon bed, warmth sticking up from behind. A pair of hands tentatively touched at the waist, then boldly wrapped Gu Yuanbai into his arms.

Gu Yuanbai sighed tersely and comfortably lay back, completely surrendering himself to Xue Yuan and comfortably closing his eyes.

After he fell ill, his body was even more afraid of the cold than before, and in the weather at the end of June, he still wanted Xue Yuan to cover him with a thick quilt, so he couldn't help but murmur, "I've burdened you."

"Not even," Xue Yuan couldn't help but probe and kiss the back of his neck, only for a moment to hold back and harden away, "If this is even, Your Holiness, I beg you to even me for the rest of my life."

Gu Yuanbai stifled a shuddering laugh.

Because in the filial piety period, who are all rules and regulations, do not cross the line half a point. Gu Yuanbai smiled for a while and said, "Then my life may be a bit short."

Xue Yuan's brows pressed together, the shade of gloom vaguely surfaced, and a grim look appeared at first.

"General Xue better not say such words," Gu Yuanbai turned his back to this Xue Yuanyao, not seeing his expression, "I told you once in the past, point blank. I'm not trying to harm you, Xue Jiuyao, do you know why Imperial Concubine Wan has purposely reduced her meetings with me over the past few years?"

He said, and remembered the Wan Tai Fei New Year's Eve when he wrote that letter, every sentence in the letter was looking at only feel ordinary, and now think of it can force red eyes, "the day is getting colder, my son do not forget to add clothes", "Today I heard a child said a naughty words, the mother consort to write in the aftermath of it, my son can look at the I'm very happy." ......

Gu Yuanbai's eyes reddened, he clenched his fists and took a few deep breaths before easing his agitation, "The death of Mrs. Wan is so much with me, the words I said to you earlier, do you think I'm talking for fun?"

"Then your holiness is taking it as the minister casually dealing with it?" The veins on Xue Yuan's neck rippled, and he popped out from between his teeth, "The words I said, you forgot them so easily?!"

Gu Yuanbai abruptly turned back to look at him.

The scowl on Xue Yuan's face had not yet receded, and it was as if Gu Yuanbai could hear the sound of his clenched teeth, sounding vicious as if he wanted to devour him into his belly, "Your Holiness, speak."

Gu Yuanbai, "I'm just informing you for the last time, lest you grieve later."

He stepped back slightly and looked at Xue Yuan critically. Xue Yuan is tall and big, his sword eyebrows are in his temples, his features are sharp, he can afford to pretend to be civilized, and when he smiles or not, he is even more banditish, which already has the capital to make people fall in love with him. What's more, Xue Yuan is more than that, the body is perfect, the future is bright, this kind of person wants to find a companion for a lifetime, how can you not find a soulmate?

Xue Yuan's expression eased slightly, but it was still frighteningly powerful as he pressed Gu Yuanbai's head on top of his chest and said menacingly, "Sleep."

Gu Yuanbai thought, "Okay, go to sleep.

His eyes had just closed when Xue Yuan asked again in a muffled voice above his head, "Gu Yuanbai, are you seriously not fond of me?"

Gu Yuanbai blurted out, "I want to sleep with you." But didn't want to be responsible.

As soon as those words came out, his face suddenly changed.

Xue Yuan was startled, and then the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were filled with laughter that he couldn't hold back, the laughter in his throat was deep, his chest trembled, and the corners of his mouth grinned high. In the end, he even pretended to pat Gu Yuanbai's back properly, as if he hadn't heard anything, "Sleep sleep sleep."

Gu Yuanbai fell asleep with an ugly face.

Before he fell asleep, he seemed to have heard the strange sound made by Xue Yuan holding back his laughter.

Xue Yuan clenched his fists and pounded heavily on the covers, excitedly wanting to go down and run hard for a few practice cuts.

His heart was beating faster and faster, and his body was shaking with excitement. Gu Yuanbai wanted to sleep with him, he actually wanted to sleep with him? He had really served the king with his colors!

His eyes glowed, firmly holding Gu Yuanbai, holding back his excitement as he waited for the saint to wake up. After a while, the excitement was suppressed, panic emerged again, Xue Yuan carefully went to probe the nose of the saint again, breathing shallow, all right.

Xue Yuan took a big breath and pressed it against the top of Gu Yuanbai's head, closing his eyes as well.
