I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

From the west of Beijing to the palace in Hebei, it only takes two days for a thousand-mile horse to run.

But for two days like this, you have to eat on horseback, you can't sleep, you run day and night, you can't rest.

Gu Yuanbai couldn't bear it.

But he was ready to deal with all the difficulties and obstacles on the road, and said to Xue Yuan: "Don't worry about me."

Xue Yuan nodded and said, "I see."

When passing by the post station, Xue Yuan brought clean water and dried meat, bought a thick quilt, and placed Gu Yuanbai sideways on the horse, so he traveled day and night, non-stop, to the palace.

Because there are no guards, time is also very tight.To be safe, Xue Yuan took a little-known shortcut.He shuttled through the official roads and alleys in circles, keeping in mind possible pursuits and crises.

At night, the cold moon hangs high.

Xue Yuan hugged Gu Yuanbai's arms tightly, and Gu Yuanbai fell asleep leaning against Xue Yuan's chest with a thick quilt, his brows furrowed uneasy.

At this time, Xue Yuan would briefly let go of Hong Yun's rein, quickly straightened the cloak covering Gu Yuanbai's body, then lowered his head, and kissed the man in his arms between the eyebrows with rough and dry lips, Whispered: "Sleep well."

Even if Hongyun is a thousand-mile horse that is hard to buy, it still needs to eat grass, drink water, and rest.Xue Yuan left these things at night, and after Gu Yuanbai fell asleep, he held Gu Yuanbai in his arms and got off the horse, and led Hongyun to let him have a good meal and sleep for a while. Sleep.

Gu Yuanbai slept restlessly, occasionally struggling to wake up from the nightmare, Xue Yuan turned his head and kissed him closely, and said softly, "It's all right."

Under such comfort, Gu Yuanbai survived the drowsy night.

Hong Yun rested well at night, and embarked on the journey to the palace in high spirits during the day, Gu Yuanbai pursed his lips, he was well taken care of, but Xue Yuan was very tired, "Let me rest for a while."

Xue Yuan smiled, leaned against his neck and took a deep breath, "Don't move, let me smell it."

This is rest.

The cold wind or dust flew by, Xue Yuan postponed the trip to three days, and on the morning of the third day, the thousand-mile horse galloped to the summer resort.

The guards of the palace were taken aback by the sudden visit of the Holy Majesty.

Gu Yuanbai was wrapped up in the travel and dust all the way, and with Xue Yuan's support, he rushed to Concubine Wan's residence.The palace people I met along the way either looked shocked or sad.

When he finally arrived at Concubine Wan's door, the clan children who he had sent to accompany Concubine Wan were gathering outside the door. I don't know which child saw him first, and shouted in surprise: "Uncle Huang is here!"

Gu Yuanbai's heart sank.

Suddenly he couldn't walk, and looking into the door from here, there was only a deep darkness inside.These darkness seemed to have a substance, as heavy as a thousand gold, exuding a sense of sadness.Gu Yuanbai pinched his palm and told himself, you have to go.

He pushed himself through the door.

In the dark room, there were few people.There was a person lying on the bed in the bedroom, sitting on the side of the bed with the princess, wiping away tears.

The person in the quilt stretched out a hand that was still warm, but his breath was so broken that he couldn't catch it, "Yuan, Bai."

Gu Yuanbai's eyes turned red instantly, and he stepped forward to hold Concubine Wan's hand, "Mother Concubine, my son is here."

"My son," Concubine Wan has already been put into a beautiful and intricate clothes by the palace people. The clothes are layered on top of each other, and the embroidery is as delicate as if it were alive. It is really meticulous everywhere.Concubine Wan's gentle eyes seemed to have regained some of her spirit and blood, "Why don't you listen to your concubine mother? How long and how long have you been here?"

Gu Yuanbai opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He coughed vigorously, and finally he was able to speak, "Many days."

Concubine Wan looked at him reproachfully, and slowly rubbed her fingers on the back of Gu Yuanbai's hand, "Mother Concubine is leaving, I can't tell you anymore, Yuan Bai, you must remember what Mother Concubine said..."

It would take a long time for her to say a word, and someone in the room had already heard the sound of sobbing.However, Gu Yuanbai felt his eyes were dry, he only looked at Concubine Wan's gray hairs on her temples, and the wrinkles around her eyes when she laughed.

Concubine Wan is still very young, but her skin exudes a heavy old spirit from the inside out.This kind of twilight can be seen with the naked eye, and only four words are written - the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry.

"When the concubine mother arrives in Huangquan, she will be able to talk to the first emperor and sister," Concubine Wan's eyes blushed, tears rolled down the side of her face, and the drops were sucked away by the soft pillow, "We, Yuan Bai, are a good emperor and a good son .”

Gu Yuanbai held her hand tightly, gritted his teeth to suppress the crying in his throat.

Concubine Wan felt a little tired after finishing these few words. She turned her head to look at Gu Yuanbai, raised her hand vigorously, and wiped off the dust on Gu Yuanbai's face. .”

Gu Yuanbai spit out a word: "No."

Concubine Wan wanted to talk about him, but she swallowed the words again.She stopped talking, with a look of reminiscence in her eyes. The mother and son held hands tightly. After an unknown period of time, Concubine Wan's hand suddenly lost strength.

Gu Yuanbai pressed against her hand, blinking very slowly, "Mother Concubine."

Concubine Wan did not make a sound.

Gu Yuanbai opened his mouth, inhaled and exhaled heavily, the sound of breathing was trembling.He raised his head from Concubine Wan's hand, and saw Concubine Wan's eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep.

With a tremor in her hand, Concubine Wan's hand slipped away from Gu Yuanbai's fingers, and beat heavily on the mattress.

Concubine Wan died.

Gu Yuanbai felt like he was about to stop breathing.The crying sounded in my ears suddenly, and it seemed that there were thousands of miles away, and someone in front of me seemed to come forward to persuade, "Your Majesty, let go."

put what?

His heart suddenly ached, and Gu Yuanbai covered his chest in sweat profusely, and the shouts around him were suddenly loud, deafeningly piercing into Gu Yuanbai's ears.Gu Yuanbai felt uncomfortable, his breathing was heavy, and his eyes were dark.

Xue Yuan said: "My lord!"

Gu Yuanbai's last look was his twisted and ferocious nervous expression, after that, darkness struck.

The Holy One fainted.

The imperial physicians in the entire palace gathered in the palace to check their pulse one by one, everyone's nerves were tense, Xue Yuan stood at the end of the bed, looking at the person on the bed with bloodshot eyes.

The guards chasing the Holy Majesty finally arrived at the palace, they rushed in hastily, and a large number of people filled the entire palace, making it difficult to even breathe.

They rode good horses, they couldn't keep up with the speed of a thousand-mile horse, and they walked the official road. Even though they were more tired than Xue Yuan on the road day and night, they were still two hours late. Within these two hours, the Holy Majesty fainted fall down.

Seeing Xue Yuan, the chief guard wanted to rush up and raise his fist, but before he could raise his fist, he fell down again in frustration.

Was it wrong for Xue Yuan to bring Sheng up to see Concubine Wan for the last time?

If you don't come to see Concubine Wan for the last time, if you hear the news that Concubine Wan has passed away regretfully, won't Your Majesty be like this?

It will be like this, even more sad than this.

The guard's long nasal voice was heavy, "Lord Xue, how long has the Holy Majesty been in a coma?"

Xue Yuan seemed to have lost his soul. After a long time, he recovered from the dull pain in his heart, and said hoarsely, "One and a half hours."

The head guard asked again: "Did the imperial doctor say anything?"

But Xue Yuan didn't see an answer, the chief guard looked up, Master Xue was staring at the Holy One with red eyes, without blinking.

The imperial doctors originally thought that the Holy Majesty would only be in a coma for a day at most, but they did not expect that the Holy Majesty would not open his eyes until two days later.

The imperial doctor was completely flustered, and the palace was not suitable for treating the Holy Majesty, so the imperial army went out to protect the Holy Majesty all the way back to the capital.The imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital stayed up day and night, wondering why the Holy Majesty was unconscious.After discussing with the confidant ministers of the Holy Majesty, Tian Fusheng and the Supervisory Office suppressed the Holy Majesty's coma, and only used the excuse of the Holy Majesty's recuperation to deal with the officials.

Therefore, the former court and the inner court are temporarily stable as usual.

and Prince's Mansion.

Mr. Wang was overjoyed when he received the news!When he sent someone to assassinate Gu Lian, he didn't expect Xue Yuan to take Gu Yuanbai to take another path in order to take a shortcut.The Maxima is galloping, and the person with Mr. Wang just missed it.On the return trip, he wanted to hide again, but the Black Armored Forbidden Army came.

Although the assassination of Gu Lian was unsuccessful, he also had an unexpected harvest. Gu Lian is now unconscious. Isn't this a great opportunity?

The chess piece next to Concubine Wan is the biggest chess piece in Mr. Wang's hands. It really is worthwhile to spend a lot of hard work, and it finally played a role.

Mr. Wang took immediate action and must not waste this opportunity.

In less than a few days, news spread among the people that the Holy Majesty was critically ill and was dying.

The rumor intensified and became widespread.The governor of Jingzhao responded in a timely manner and strengthened the patrol of soldiers. Once such false rumors were discovered, they were immediately caught and thrown into prison.

But the fact is before our eyes, all the officials have not seen the emperor for several days, what kind of illness is the emperor recuperating?Why can I only see Shenzhi Zhengshi, Privy Envoy and several Shangshu adults, but not others?

The words of the servants serving in front of the palace hall were vague, and the anxiety and haggardness gradually deepened on Mr. Tian's face.Panic was still rising, and people among the officials and the common people were in panic, wanting to know what was going on with the Holy Majesty.

The Holy One is still in a coma.

Has been in a coma for more than ten days.

Why do people fall into such a long-term coma?

The imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital were at a loss. They tried various methods, but they were still at a loss and could do nothing.

Every day is more anxious and restless than the previous day.The restless officials also gathered in front of the Xuanzheng Hall, shouting "Long Live", asking the Holy One to meet them.

Everyone in the hall looked dignified and looked at each other.

Now it can no longer be suppressed.

How could it be that only the officials and the people of the capital are panicking?These confidant ministers centered on the Holy One, the Supervisory Office, Dong Lingwei, court ladies and eunuchs, all of them were so anxious that they felt that the storm was about to come.

They are also uneasy, they are even more anxious, so anxious that they wait in front of the temple every day to wait for the Holy One to wake up.Your Majesty, wake up quickly, if your mountain doesn't wake up, we won't be able to bear it anymore.

On that day, Shenzhi Zhengshi and Privy Envoys came forward to prevent all officials from meeting.But on the second day, the third day... Finally, the news that the Holy Majesty was unconscious was finally announced helplessly.

The court was in an uproar.

But on this day, Mr. Wang was well-dressed, he deliberately arranged his cuffs and clothes several times, and walked slowly into Prince He's room.

Sitting behind the desk with the prince, there is an untouched book spread out on the desk.His face was haggard and drowsy, his eyes glazed over.

"My lord," Mr. Wang saluted, and said bluntly, "The Holy One is seriously ill, and now he is dying."

Prince He got up suddenly, and suddenly regained his senses, he stared at Mr. Wang, "What did you say?!"

Mr. Wang once used Xixia envoys to test Prince He. Although Prince He is irritable and irritable, he is exceptionally clear about major issues.He would never cooperate with Mr. Wang, a foreigner, to seek Daheng's throne, so Mr. Wang never planned to do useless work at all.

He just said worriedly: "The Holy Majesty has been in a coma for several days, and the imperial doctor in the palace can't do anything about it. I thought to myself, if the doctor can't cure it, it is witchcraft. If someone uses witchcraft to make the Holy Majesty sleep forever If you don’t wake up, how can this be cured by an imperial doctor?”

Prince He ran out from behind the desk in a panic, holding Mr. Wang's hand tightly, "Sir, is there a way?"

"When I was traveling around the world, I met a friend who was proficient in witchcraft. This friend should be in the capital at this time," Mr. Wang sighed, "It's just the prince. Friends are willing to help, but we will not be able to reach the presence of the Holy One."

The prince's breathing was heavy, he gritted his teeth, "I'll find a way."
