King's favor is hard to do

How can you allow you Dayan people to be presumptuous! "

When Li Guangning heard the words "Young Master's Guest House", Li Guangning frowned, and his face was a little ugly.He raised his eyes and looked at the building, as if he was estimating how much land it occupied and how much it was worth.

It seems that not only is it incomparable with his imperial palace in the capital, but even compared with his several palaces located in various places, it is more than a little bit inferior.His expression relaxed immediately, and he said with a smile,

"Well, he had nowhere to go, and he had no choice but to borrow your house. It's my fault, and I wronged him. But in the future, he doesn't need to live here anymore. But after all, it's on your side Borrowed for a long time...my man, but he can't owe the kindness of others. Today, I will thank you young master for taking him in on his behalf - exempting you from Ximan customs duties for three years, and giving you thousands of rolls of cloth and tens of thousands of grains. how?"

When the words fell to the ground, all the Western barbarians' eyes widened.Even Du Yuzhang upstairs held his breath and looked at Li Guangning in shock.

Whenever there is any trade between the two countries, a border tax must be levied.A full three years of tariffs is a huge amount of real money!

Is Li Guangning crazy?Is he joking about Dayan's finances? !

Du Yuzhang was short of breath, and suddenly flashed in his mind the secret thoughts that had been dug out by force before - if he can die for me today, then one day, who can guarantee that he will not become a fool for me?

He suddenly shivered, as if his whole body was completely frozen.

The prairie of Ximan, it is so green

Those barbarian soldiers facing Li Guangning looked at me and I looked at you, their eyes were full of eager light.

This condition is too tempting!

You must know that a grassland country like Ximan is extremely short of metal utensils, cotton, linen and food.If they can't trade with other countries, they will not only have to worry about famine and cold winter, but also lack weapons and arrows, and they don't even have iron pots and pans for cooking!

But if you want to trade, you must use gold and silver.But they also lack gold and silver minerals.Even if merchants can barter, the tariffs handed over to other countries are a big deal.For a long time, the gold and silver of the Western Man have been unable to make ends meet. Every year, they almost have to sell the hard-raised livestock and the fur of the wild beasts that they have killed so hard to exchange for cloth and food.

They are not reconciled, they also know that the other party is looting in the name of trade, but is it possible that the severe winter is approaching, and can they really watch the people die of hunger and cold?

At this moment, even Tuya's face was a little moved.

He has a special status, not an ordinary teenager.He knows all too well what these things mean to Ximan - a lot of money, food and cloth are all strategic materials needed for the rise of Ximan!It is also something that Ximan can't produce by himself. In previous years, he had to sell cattle, sheep and livestock at a low price in exchange for it... If Dayan is really willing to give it, so many things are worth Ximan's ten-year accumulation!If Dayan could be exempted from Western Man tariffs for three years...then they wouldn't have to raise gold and silver everywhere, or even sell them at a low price.Maybe, Ximan can still save a batch of reserve gold and silver, so he won't have to submit to those treacherous businessmen in the future!

What's more, there are so many cloth and grain seeds - the former can keep out the cold, and the latter can grow grain to feed the hunger.Su Ruben had always had the ambition to open up territory to the Western Regions, transforming from a nomadic people to a settled one.If there are these things...the future of Ximan suddenly has many possibilities!

But he is not stupid, he knows the meaning of Li Guangning's words - Emperor Dayan is making an offer to buy out the relationship between Du Yuzhang and Ximan for these years with a gift that is too rich to refuse!If he agrees, even if Du Yuzhang and Ximan have never had anything to do with each other, the previous relationship will be severed!

If he really lets go, how should he face Su Rucheng?

"How? Not enough sincerity?"

As Li Guangning said, he raised his head and looked straight at the window behind which Du Yuzhang was hiding.Even though the window was closed tightly, Du Yuzhang felt the man's fiery gaze cast directly on his face through the casement.

He seemed to know that he was behind the window, watching him secretly...

Du Yuzhang's breathing became more and more urgent, his cheeks were hot, but his heart was filled with fear and worry.But Li Guangning had already withdrawn his gaze, and smiled at Tuya who was facing him.

That smile made Tuya feel cold.

The man opposite seemed to be a different person, like a lazy cheetah suddenly showing its claws and sharp fangs—he suddenly realized his innocence.How could he think that he could block the king of Dayan, the man who put down two rebellions, personally killed the enemy chiefs, and controlled the whole country under applause, from this door?

"Why, don't you let go? You must see blood before you let go?"

"The young master has not returned yet..."

"Young master? Do you mean that if I can see Du Yuzhang, I need Su Rucheng's consent?"

When the word "Su Rucheng" was mentioned, a gloomy look flashed across Li Guangning's face.But he was silent for a moment, smiled and shook his head.

"I'm afraid you don't know the boy from the west. No one in this world can make me wait outside the door for a long time. You can't, and neither can your young master. The reason I told you so much today is because he has suffered Your benefits - you have protected him and taken care of him for so long. But today, I must take him away. So, if you don't move away, I won't be so easy to talk about in the future. "

He paused, then smiled again,

"Of course, the things promised to you just now don't count."

Li Guangning waved his hand lightly.The guards behind him took a step forward and held down their weapons again.But this time, they didn't just move their hands.They're leaning forward with their legs slightly apart and their hamstrings tensed—it's an attacking position!

Tuya's forehead was dripping with sweat.

Is it really necessary to see blood here and clash with Emperor Dayan's guards?If this is the case, then the peace talks between the two countries...even the hard-won peace...wouldn't it be...

There was a stalemate.

Tuya didn't move, neither did Li Guangning.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

The stalemate was too long.It was so long that Tuya couldn't get nervous anymore because of being too nervous.He even started to distract himself, studying the face of Li Guangning opposite him - he was pretty good-looking, with nice eyebrows and nice eyes.It's just that the complexion is too fair, not as good as our young master's healthy and sexy wheat color.Body... You can't see your figure if you wear too much clothes, but it doesn't seem to be as strong as the young master?Fighting is probably not enough to beat the young master, after all, the young master has been fighting since childhood... Speaking of fighting...

When will you do it, His Majesty Emperor Dayan?

Suddenly, Li Guangning moved.Tuya shuddered, his eyes, which were a little distracted due to distraction, suddenly became dignified, and he stared closely at his movements.

Emperor Dayan suddenly raised his head, put his hands around his lips, and roared.

"Du Yuzhang, it's about to fight! It's about to fight, don't you show up yet? Why are you so calm!"

Tuya: "!"

Li Guangning: "Du Yuzhang, do you see through that I'm scaring you! Okay, okay, I know you don't want me, Dayan and Ximan, to do anything—so I didn't do anything! You see, I'm so sincere, you just Come out quickly! I have something to tell you!"

Tuya: "..."

Li Guangning: "If you don't come out again, I'll break in! I really broke in! Don't be angry when the time comes!"

Tuya was completely speechless.

——Didn’t you just want to force your way in?You are even going to war!Wait... Did he mean... This is all for Mr. Du to see? !

Tuya was shocked.

In all his life, he had never seen such a thick-skinned adult.

Moreover, this person is said to be the emperor of Dayan.Born with a dignified appearance, a majestic speech, an incomparably noble status, and a power that covers the sky with one hand... It turned out to be such a guy? !

Li Guangning yelled a few times, but seeing that Du Yuzhang hadn't come forward, he stopped yelling.He turned back to Tuya again,

"Boy, get out of the way."

"That can't be done! This is the place of our Westerners! It's our young master's house! If you force yourself to take a step, you will be against our Westerners..."

"This is your place, but it's mine! The people who detained me are in your place—if you don't get out of the way, then it's you Western barbarians who started the trouble. You should know what the consequences will be." ?”

"Nonsense! Master Du is not your person! Master Du is our distinguished guest in Ximan, and he will be our young master's husband in the future..."

"Tuya!"

Unbearable, Du Yuzhang pushed the window open.Tuya's words were interrupted in mid-air.

"You don't have to talk to him. Do you have something to say? You let him in."

"What? Mr. Du, don't! He's unreasonable at all, you see he's messing around... What if he bullies you, Mr. Du?"

"do not worry."

Du Yuzhang was talking to Tuya, but his eyes were only on Li Guangning.

"Just let him come. I see how unreasonable he is, and how can he bully me?!"

The words were loud and clear.When the guards behind Li Guangning heard this, they all looked at each other with subtle expressions - they all followed Li Guangning through life and death in the valley, who didn't know who the all-powerful young man in the window was?

But Mr. Du has always been respectful and polite to His Majesty, polite and distant!Why did the tone of voice sound like a threat just now?

Li Guangning coughed and smiled.He lifted his legs and walked towards the door, and the guards behind him hurriedly followed.

"stop."

Li Guangning waved his hand,

"Just wait outside the door."

"How can that be done! How can you let Your Majesty...let you go by yourself, my lord, it's too dangerous! These people are all holding bows and arrows, and they don't seem to be good at it. What a noble status you are..."

"You don't have to worry. Didn't you see that Mr. Du just now?"

Li Guangning turned his back, the smile on his face deepened,

"I'd like to see, if someone puts me in danger in front of him, will he be willing to leave it alone? Even if I scratch a piece of skin, he will be very distressed!"

While speaking, he deliberately glanced at Tuya next to him,

"Is that right, kid? This Mr. Du doesn't care so much about your young master, does he?"

"..."

Tuya almost choked to death on him.But no matter how young the young man is, he can't compare to the thick-skinned old rascal.His face was flushed red, and he choked out a sentence,

"Don't be too crazy! Mr. Du only has our young master in his heart..."

"Ah……"

Li Guangning didn't believe in his evil.He heard it all with his own ears yesterday, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth when he returned home.At first, seeing Du Yuzhang ignoring him so firmly, he thought that there was a fire in the backyard, and his little friend really wanted to break up-it turned out that was not the case at all!

The little enemy is worried about himself because he missed the state affairs-you see, my family is my family.After all, isn't he still thinking of Dayan?

Then who am I?Emperor Dayan!Rounding up, isn't it a red heart towards me?

Li Guangning finally let go of his heart.He was refreshed and elated.If there was a tail behind his buttocks, it would probably be three feet high now.

He maintained such a state and walked in the door triumphantly.Leaving Tuya staring at his back in a daze, thousands of words flooded into my heart, and finally only one question remained—Mr. Du, you are so nice, what did you like about him back then?He, he, he...he is even worse than the young master!

Li Guangning didn't know how this young man from Ximan slandered him.He kept this stern look and entered the door, entered the hall, entered the house, and arrived in front of Du Yuzhang.He grinned and said softly,

"Jade chapter."

"Ah."

"I'm here to find you."

"……I saw."

"Come back with me."

"Don't go."

"Don't, come back with me!"

"..."

"Yuzhang, I know I was wrong. I made you worry and make you sad—forgive me."

"Ah."

He said "heh" in a neutral tone, but his tone was very cold.But in Li Guangning's warm-hearted ears, he could hear the smell of "coquettishness".

He suddenly felt itchy in his heart, as if he was directly pressing Du Yuzhang under his body to be frivolous enough.After all, he didn't dare to be rude to the beauty at this moment, but he still couldn't help reaching out to touch Du Yuzhang's face, and then rubbed it.

It feels so good.

With Du Yuzhang's eyes about to kill someone, Li Guangning rubbed him again.Originally, he wanted to pinch it a few more times, but he suddenly remembered the business - to take the jade chapter back.Du Yuzhang has thin skin, what if it turns red?What if you annoy him and don't go back with yourself?

He reluctantly let go of his hand, and on the way back, he rubbed Du Yuzhang's butt - the two stood facing each other, at least a foot and a half apart.

"Oops, accidentally..."

I don't know why I was so careless.What a coincidence.

Du Yuzhang watched with cold eyes when Li Guangning let go, his arms stretched out - not even a foot and a half.If he hadn't worked so hard to straighten his arms, who would have rubbed against the opposite person's ass?

The grassland of Ximan, it is so green

"careless?"

"Well, accidentally."

Li Guangning stole a glance at Du Yuzhang, and saw that his face was very ugly.

—Are you angry?

— just to make him angry.

Otherwise, it's not easy to be coaxed in the cold, but it's only when you're out of breath that you'll break through.If it wasn't for this, Li Guangning wouldn't have entered the house alone - he was already ready to annoy Du Yuzhang, and even get whipped by him a few times.

People in my own family can talk about it behind closed doors.In case Du Yuzhang's way of deceiving the emperor and beating up the emperor was seen by his subordinates... that would still be a bit troublesome.

But Du Yuzhang didn't beat him.He didn't even scold him.

His face didn't turn red either, and he showed that embarrassing and annoyed expression, but it was fascinating.

He just stood there, raised his eyelids, and gave Li Guangning a casual look.

"Then be more careful next time."

"..."

Li Guangning suddenly felt a little uncertain.He felt that Du Yuzhang looked too cold.It's not quite the same as the indifference with alienation and anger a few days ago.Now Du Yuzhang is as indifferent as a piece of ice, as if he really doesn't want to talk to himself at all.

"Yuzhang, that... hey, what is this?"

It was a food box, which Tuya put on the table this morning.Li Guangning looked at Du Yuzhang from the corner of his eyes, and opened it on his own initiative.Inside, an exquisitely cast iron teapot was steaming, surrounded by a few small snacks.Li Guangning raised the teapot on his own initiative, opened it and took a look.

"Hmm, it's so hot. Is this Ximan's milk tea?"

Li Guangning retracted his fingers and blew on his lips.

"Are you used to this kind of thing? I remember that you are not good at buttermilk. When you get back to Dayan, ask them to cook sweet-scented osmanthus honey for you. I remember you like this."

Du Yuzhang still didn't speak.Li Guangning coughed, and stopped tossing the pot of boiling milk tea.

Something is wrong, he thought.

Before he died for love, Yuzhang was very angry.But he was stabbed so deeply in the stomach, in fact, he obviously felt a little distressed when he saw the scar - so there was a crack in that anger, and he could be asked to take advantage of it and haunt him every day. A lot.

But why today, it seems that the original cracks have been frozen again?

Look at my Yuzhang's cold face.Almost catching up with the ice of the cold pool.

Li Guangning was worried, but he was thick-skinned after all.He smiled, took half a step closer,

"Well, when you go back with me, I must be careful. Yuzhang misses me, so I hug you and hug you; Yuzhang doesn't want me, so I just look at you and secretly like you in my heart. Okay? "

It sounds like a shameless face, but it's full of caution.Du Yuzhang didn't respond, as if he ignored Li Guangning's affection.He just had a sullen face and said lightly,

"As you wish."

"..."

"But I won't go with you."

"Yuzhang, stop being angry. If you don't come with me, where do you want to go?"

"The sky is big and the earth is big, where can't I go?"

"Ha, the sky is big and the earth is big, but Yuzhang, you only care about me, Dayan, and only me, Li Guangning. After all, other places are only guest villages. Yuzhang, your home is in Dayan, by my side."

"Your Majesty, you think too highly of yourself. No, you are Your Majesty, and you should think of yourself so highly... Then, maybe you think too little of Du Yuzhang."

"How did this start? Yuzhang, I was really wrong in all kinds of ways in the past, and I should apologize to you a hundred times. But now, I only respect and love you in my heart, and I will never look down on you. You clearly know that Clear, why do you say that?"

"You won't look down on me?" Du Yuzhang sneered, the frost in his eyes was even worse,

"Your Majesty's so-called won't underestimate, is it just playing me like a fool on the applause?"

Du Yuzhang raised his voice, but his tone was still cold.Li Guangning was even more uneasy, and tentatively said,

"What do you mean? Yuzhang, I don't understand."

"..."

Silence for a while.

— Something is wrong!Something is wrong!

Li Guangning felt the hairs on his back stand up.

What happened to Du Yuzhang?Why did you say this suddenly?

"Yuzhang, where did I go wrong, why don't you talk about it when you go back. In fact, I also know your concerns - yesterday, Huaihe told me when I went back. Are you afraid that I will do something wrong? No."

It's okay not to say that.Just after he spit out, Li Guangning saw Du Yuzhang raised his eyelids and gave him a cool look.That gaze shocked him—could he know that the man in black robe was me?He guessed that I was the one who found the shaman?

No, that's not right... It is said that shamans only listen to the call of the gods, and even if they accept commissions, they are only limited to the Western barbarians, and it is absolutely impossible to obey the orders of foreign races.Han Yuan said that he also met that person by chance... He said that he was a teacher of the great shaman, but he was kicked out because of something.But still learned a full set of shamanic witchcraft - let alone a foreigner like Du Yuzhang, even another shaman would not see the flaws...

Unless he happened to meet that great shaman, Du Yuzhang couldn't have imagined it!

Thinking of this, Li Guangning calmed down a bit.He took another step forward.

"Yuzhang, I know you're angry at me at all costs, and you're also afraid that I'll do something irrational because of you in the future. But don't worry, I won't. You are a lamp hanging in my heart, and you are willing to shine on me , I will never take a detour. Yuzhang, you always ignore me like this, I feel very sad. Can you bear to see me sad?"

Du Yuzhang's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was a little shaken.But he seemed to think of something, and the wavering disappeared.

"Your Majesty has always spoken so sweetly. If you want to make a promise, you can coax people around. But Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and you should not lie to others at will."

"Yuzhang, I know you are angry that I lied to you to be a wise king, but I chose to go with you. This is all my fault..."

"Your Majesty, that's not what I'm talking about."

"Which one else? None."

"Your Majesty means that you only lied to me this time?"

Li Guangning felt a little guilty.Among other things, his sentence "Huaihe go back and tell me" just now is a lie - no one told him.It was he himself, dressed in a black robe and disguised as part of the ceremony, who heard Du Yuzhang's affection with his own ears.

But this kind of trivial matter... probably doesn't need to be counted, right?

So Li Guangning felt guilty for a moment, and replied with certainty,

"Yeah, except for going with you this time, and telling you that I am Mr. Ning before, I really haven't lied to you."

"..."

"Or I have to say, when I was in the East Palace, I said that your poems were not as good as Mr. Liu, but I was lying to you. I know that you want to give those few poems as wedding presents - if your writing is not as good as others, you will I would never give it away because of my temper. But I don’t want anyone else to receive your calligraphy besides me, so I deliberately said that those poems are a little less vivid than Mr. Liu. Actually it’s not, if you talk about Poetry is smart and romantic, and no one can compare to you. At that time, you were angry and threw a few pieces of poetry on my desk, saying that you didn’t want it—it was exactly what I wanted. Later, I put them away, and now It’s still in the treasure box in my study.”

Du Yuzhang's eyes moved, and the ice inside seemed to melt a little.After Li Guangning had been in the room for so long, he was finally willing to raise his head and take a good look at his Majesty.

"His Majesty……"

"Yuzhang." Li Guangning stretched out his hand to hold Du Yuzhang's hand, and said softly, "There are not many things that lied to you, so I remember them all. Except for these few times, there is really nothing else."

"..."

Du Yuzhang was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"So it is."

"That's it."

"Then, Your Majesty said in the valley before that if I recover from illness, I can go wherever I want—isn't it, and I'm not lying, and I can go wherever I want without hindrance?"

"I……"

"What? Does His Majesty want to go back on his word?"

——You and I are people who have died once, it was a matter of the previous life!How can I control this life in my previous life, and talk about regretting or not!

Li Guangning really wanted to say that.But he also knew that if he dared to say that, Du Yuzhang would throw him out of the room unceremoniously.

"At that time, what I said was, if you don't want to stay with me... you can go anywhere... But, but now don't you want to? You dare not! You like me, love me deeply, are you I avoided me because I was afraid of hidden dangers. I personally heard... um, I heard Huaihe tell it with my own ears! So...you won't be willing to leave me, will you?

Li Guangning moved forward as he spoke.When he finished speaking, the tip of his nose almost touched Du Yuzhang's forehead.His breathing was also a little short, and he stared at the person in front of him.Before he opened his mouth, his hands were already on Du Yuzhang's slender waist.

"Yuzhang... Come back with me. I miss you so much, I miss you so much that I can't eat or sleep every day. Is it the same for you? Look, you've lost weight."

"let me go."

"Don't let it go."

"..."

Du Yuzhang knew it was useless to talk too much.He put his hands on Li Guangning's body, one on his chest and the other on his stomach.In this way, although he couldn't push Li Guangning away, he kept him at a distance.

Li Guangning looked down - he could clearly feel the thrust on his chest, but Du Yuzhang didn't use any strength on the hand on his lower abdomen.There was a smile on Li Guangning's lips.

"Why doesn't Yuzhang use force?"

"..."

"Do you know that my wound is in the lower abdomen, are you afraid of hurting me?"

Du Yuzhang frowned slightly.Li Guangning is not afraid of death, but wants to tease,

"Yuzhang, if you are willing to part with me, you can push away harder. If not, then go back with me."

It's okay not to say that.As soon as he said it, Li Guangning watched Du Yuzhang's eyebrows frown tightly.There was a sudden chill on his back, and he just wanted to ease a sentence when he felt a pain in his lower abdomen.Looking down, Du Yuzhang's palm was spread out, and the palm was pressed against his lower abdomen.

Impartiality is where the wound is.

"Your Majesty is so confident, but Du Yuzhang is disrespectful. Your Majesty himself is not afraid of pain, and I, Du Yuzhang—why do I feel distressed?"

"hiss……"

If the palm is pressed against the wound, of course it will hurt.In fact, Du Yuzhang still kept his strength, but it was enough to choke on this fresh and tender wound, which was pushed like this.

"Your Majesty, please step aside."

"..."

"Your Majesty, are you going to stalk me to the end?"

"...Du Yuzhang, you...why are you so stubborn today? Obviously you still can't bear to part with me in your heart, you said it yourself that day, you can't deny it! A lover should get married, no matter what you say, I will..."

"What about His Majesty?"

"I won't let you go! Du Yuzhang, I like you so much, I humbly beg you to go back - I lied to you before, but I want to go with you because I love you too much! Du Yuzhang, you really don't Do you know what I want? What exactly do you want before you give up! After all, I am the emperor of Dayan, do you want me to kneel down and beg you to calm down?!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Guangning regretted it.What was Du Yuzhang worried about before, isn't it still his identity?He has tried his best to play down the influence of his identity on the relationship between the two of them, why can't he help but say it out of impulse?

"Yuzhang, don't be angry, I didn't mean that..."

"Your Majesty, I'm not angry. Your Majesty is willing to speak out, which is actually very good. It's much better than saying something against your will, or lying to me...to make me happy."

"..."

"Since Your Majesty treats each other with sincerity, Yuzhang should also treat him with sincerity. Your Majesty, let me ask you one last question. If you can still treat each other with sincerity like this, I..."

He pursed his lips and asked solemnly,

"Your Majesty, have you really never lied to me other than what you said earlier?"

"Not really."

"Then, the shaman appeared so strangely yesterday, so it has nothing to do with His Majesty?"

When Du Yuzhang asked here, his eyelids were raised, and his eyes were full of emotions.Li Guangning was startled in his heart, suddenly feeling uneasy.

The grassland of Ximan, it is so green

"The shaman appeared so strangely yesterday that he has nothing to do with His Majesty?"

One sentence shocked Li Guangning until his lips were green and his face was pale, as if he had been struck by lightning.But he said he was dead before, how can he change his words now?He could only bite the bullet and say,

"Not really."

Du Yuzhang let out a long breath.It dragged on so long that it sounded like a sigh.His eyelids drooped, and the coldness in his eyes just now seemed to have disappeared.

Even though the person in front of him seemed calm and calm, Li Guangning felt even more uneasy.he asked in a low voice,

"Yu Zhang? What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Du Yuzhang's voice was indescribable.He was silent for a moment, with a smile on his lips,

"Since Your Majesty never lied to me, then I will keep my promise and 'treat him with sincerity'. Your Majesty, I want to tell you something secretly—you listen, don't be too surprised."

"what's up?"

"Your Majesty, how can you be so sure that the person I mentioned during the shaman sacrifice that day is you, Your Majesty?"

"..."

Li Guangning opened his eyes wide and almost laughed out loud.He never expected Du Yuzhang to say such a sentence.

"Yuzhang, how can I not know your intentions? Who else is the person you love besides me? What's more, you said that the power is over the world, the status is extremely noble, and there are still people who want to protect him." The people... besides me, who else can be enough?"

"Is it?"

The corner of Du Yuzhang's lips twitched, and his eyes were deeply fixed on Li Guangning's face.

"Your Majesty, think about it carefully. Is there really no one else who meets the conditions I mentioned?"

"I don't have to think about it. The love in Yuzhang's heart, there will be no one else but me."

"Your Majesty is very confident."

"I'm not confident. I believe in Yuzhang."

When these words came out, Du Yuzhang's expression moved slightly.He looked into Li Guangning's eyes and knew that he hadn't lied.But he was silent for a moment, and still smiled,

"Well, I had great faith in Your Majesty."

"Jade chapter..."

But Du Du Yuzhang did not give Li Guangning a chance to speak.He lifted his chin slightly, showing a little chuckle,

"Your Majesty. If you think about it again, apart from you, Your Majesty, is there really no one who conforms to what I said that day?"

"..."

"For example, the young master of Ximan, Su Rucheng?"

Li Guangning's face flushed red as if struck by lightning.Of course, he would never believe that Du Yuzhang would fall in love with others, and even the thought would make him scoff - but if it was followed by the three words Su Rucheng, it would make him fly into a rage instantly!

"Du Yuzhang! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Why is this nonsense? Could it be that who I like is not my own business... woo woo..."

In the middle of speaking, a big hand covered Du Yuzhang's mouth forcefully.Even his whole body was pressed against the wall - Li Guangning pressed directly on him, staring at him fiercely with eyes like a beast.

"Du Yuzhang. What nonsense did you say just now? Say it again."

"..."

"Tell me? Besides me, who else is in your heart? Who else? Huh?"

Covering your mouth, how could you be able to speak?Du Yuzhang's eyes were calm, and his translucent pupils looked directly at Li Guangning.Li Guangning was so close to him that he seemed to be able to see all the way into his heart through Du Yuzhang's eyes.

He suddenly felt that he had lost his composure.

It's just Su Rucheng.

Yuzhang lived in Ximan for three years.If he really fell in love with Su Rucheng, there should have been some clues.A farewell to him in the valley, crying heartbroken for him in the carriage... How stupid must I be, to get so angry because of a joke about him?

He let go slowly.

"I'm sorry, Yuzhang. I lost my composure."

Li Guangning straightened up.

"But Your Majesty, if I really like Su Rucheng..."

When Du Yuzhang's voice sounded, Li Guangning suddenly became stiff.The two were too close, and the man's soft words were so true to his ears, it seemed like a piece of ice was embedded in his heart, causing his whole blood to freeze——

"...Your Majesty is talented, will you kill me on the spot?"

"Yuzhang! What are you talking about?!"

"I'm curious. Your Majesty, what am I in your eyes? Are those words in the valley just to tell me not to develop a will to die and to cooperate with the treatment?"

"...what?"

"Sure enough, His Majesty has forgotten."

Du Yuzhang sighed, with a sad smile on his lips.

"After so many years, it has turned around and turned to today. Your Majesty, after all, you still can't tell whether Du Yuzhang is a pet in your harem, or a living person with his own wishes."

"..."

"So, at that time, His Majesty said that if I really survived, I can go wherever I want, and love whoever I want; I said that you will never force me to do anything, the world is so big, you will eventually let me go A free body... is actually just coaxing people casually."

"Yuzhang... I said it was true! But you love me, and you want to be by my side all the time, you know it yourself!"

"What if I don't love Your Majesty anymore? What if I change my mind and the person I like really becomes Young Master Su? What will you do, Your Majesty? Will you let me go? Or will you force me to stay and take me away?" Back to Dayan locked in the dragon couch - even killed me?"

The blood had faded from Li Guangning's face.

"Du Yuzhang, I'll give you a chance to take back your words."

"..."

"Du Yuzhang, how could I kill you? I won't lock you on the dragon couch again... That's all in the past, and it won't happen again! Why don't you believe me? I said I would treat you well, I said I won't bully you like that again - I promised you, I won't break my promise!"

"You promised me? Ha, yes, you did."

One hand was raised up, as if wanting to touch Du Yuzhang's face - but Du Yuzhang turned his head, and the trembling fingertips passed him after all.

This dodge seemed to completely shatter Li Guangning's extremely tense patience.Furious, Li Guangning raised his head coldly and stared at Du Yuzhang.

A pair of falcon-like eyes, full of haze rolling.

"Du Yuzhang! What exactly are you trying to say? Stop testing my bottom line like this!"

"What I want to say, His Majesty has actually thought of it. It's just that His Majesty only allows everything to follow his own will, but never allows any changes that His Majesty doesn't like, so he never takes it seriously."

Li Guangning clenched his hands tightly.

"So, Your Majesty, I can only say it myself - I don't like Your Majesty anymore. So I will stay in Ximan and not go back."

"Nonsense! Du Yuzhang! You're lying! What on earth do you want? I won't allow it, I won't allow you to speak such nonsense again! If you dare to say one more word, I really won't forgive you..."

Li Guangning's face changed drastically, and he rushed towards Du Yuzhang.Du Yuzhang looked at his flushed and distorted face, and his fingertips became ice-cold—in an instant, so many unbearable memories flooded into his mind, those pains and humiliations, abuse and torture...like a whirlpool swept in, calling him to breathe No, subconsciously dodged backwards.

There was a "bang" in the ear, and then the sound of water splashing everywhere.The voice was so loud, but it didn't penetrate Du Yuzhang's ears at all - he could only see the person opposite him!Li Guangning's expression changed. He raised his arms and grabbed
