King's favor is hard to do

Du Yuzhang couldn't hear what Li Guangning yelled later.Being strangled by the throat, he gradually suffocated, his ears were buzzing, he could see Li Guangning's face twisted, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't hear his words clearly.

After that, his eyes were a little blurry.

Du Yuzhang didn't even know when he was let go.When he regained his consciousness, he found himself lying on the ground covered in ink.He was messed up and dirty, and his head hurt like it was going to explode.The scalp was excruciatingly painful.

When another burst of pain hit, he realized that it was Li Guangning.

Li Guangning inserted his fingers into his hair and tugged at it.Scalp bursts of piercing pain, he regained consciousness.

"……woke up?"

Li Guangning suddenly let go.Du Yuzhang, who was forcibly lifted off the ground by his hair, fell back again.The back of his head hit the ground with a thud.Another bout of dizziness made him feel like vomiting.

"Du Yuzhang, I have done my best to you. I hope you will not toast or eat fine wine."

"..."

"Tomorrow night, you can come or not. But, if you really don't come..."

Li Guangning narrowed his eyes and sneered.A hand brushed against Du Yuzhang's neck, and suddenly exerted force on his chin!Two fingers like iron pincers clamped Du Yuzhang's jaw firmly, and he lifted it up forcefully.Du Yuzhang couldn't breathe, his face was forced up, and his eyes were full of mist.

Li Guangning met his gaze.Du Yuzhang saw him licking his teeth, like a wolf wanting to eat people.

"If you don't come... Du Yuzhang, I assure you. You will never see the sun outside the palace again."

……

The next day was the day when Du Yuzhang and Imperial Physician Zheng made an appointment to meet.On that note, Imperial Physician Zheng said that he wanted to take his pulse again, and gave him some emergency medicine for him to take away.

"Du Xiang, are you going to Xuanhu Lane?" The coachman was a little strange, "This place is far away. Besides, there are some medical clinics over there, and some sell medicines...it's not a good place."

"How do you say this? Why does the medical center that sells medicine say it's not a good place?"

"It stands to reason that practicing medicine and asking for medicine is a matter of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. But the place is too remote, and the officials are loosely managed, so there are many dubious people. There are also doctors in the world, and there are also people who are not in the world. Drugs What's more... Those messy medicines, I can't go into details. Therefore, most people don't go there many times. Even if they go to the doctor in a hurry, they won't go to the back alley. But these are all rough things, Du For a noble person like you, you must have never heard of these things."

"So it is."

Du Yuzhang understood what the coachman meant—it was a place where three schools of thought were mixed.

However, the coachman's evaluation of him made him smile wryly. "Noble"?How did the coachman know, in Li Guangning's heart, not only was he not even half noble, he was simply extremely contemptible!Otherwise, why would you make things difficult for him?

Just thinking about those things, Du Yuzhang felt a blockage in his heart, and his chest was tight.He sighed.

"It's okay, let's be careful. Let's go—go early and come back early."

……

In the Magpie Palace, Xu Yanqiu turned his ears sideways, listening to a whispered report from a close friend.

"...Ambush already? Tell them to be careful—keep their hands and feet clean, and don't be found out!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry! All I'm looking for are quick-witted ones. I've already told them to pretend to be locals fighting, and take this opportunity to implicate Du Yuzhang. If he doesn't die, he will be seriously injured!"

"No! You want to make him crippled, but you can't let him die——I want to see with my own eyes how His Majesty punishes him, and see how he can't live or die. Kneel on the ground and beg for a happy life!"

Concubine Xu grinned grimly,

"If the time comes to accuse him of deceiving the emperor, His Majesty will surely be furious! He will die without a place to bury him!"

"Young lady is wise!"

"By the way, what's going on with Dr. Zheng?"

"The body has been disposed of without anyone noticing it. Now, all the documents and files that existed in him have also been erased. This person has lived in seclusion and has no relatives or old friends. It has saved us a lot of trouble... and Lin An His Majesty must have thought that this person was fabricated by Du Yuzhang, and that he did not exist at all. Even the prescriptions he prescribed——the real ones have become fakes.”

"very good."

Xu Yanqiu covered her face with a fan and smiled with satisfaction.Tonight, His Majesty happens to be hosting a banquet for all the officials.If he could see how Du Yuzhang collapsed under the eyes of everyone on this occasion—just thinking about it, he would laugh out loud!

He couldn't wait any longer to see Du Yuzhang begging for mercy on his knees!
