King's favor is hard to do

Li Guangning hugged Du Yuzhang and sat on the dragon couch.

Du Yuzhang was slumped on the silk brocade quilt, his face was sluggish, and he couldn't move.Just now, he was tossed by Li Guangning three or four times, and his physical strength has been exhausted.He didn't eat anything all day and night, and he was almost dehydrated now, and he really didn't have the strength to lift his eyelids.

Seeing him like this, Li Guangning's heart sank.He immediately ordered Wang Li,

"Why isn't Lin An here yet! And that Imperial Physician Zheng——Du Yuzhang is going to see him today! I have to ask carefully, why did he make such a big fuss at Xuanhu Lane!"

"Yes!"

Wang Li hurriedly resigned.Before leaving, he ordered the imperial dining room to bring some ginseng soup, so that he could ask Du Yuzhang to replenish his strength.Otherwise, I'm afraid Mr. Du won't last long, and he will pass out.

Du Yuzhang was extremely weak.I don't have any strength left.He could only lean against Li Guangning's arms, unable to move.After the two calmed down, Li Guangning could feel Du Yuzhang leaning his entire body on his chest, so defenseless, it seemed that he had nothing to rely on except himself.

Li Guangning subconsciously reached out and took Du Yuzhang's hand.Du Yuzhang's hands were well-proportioned, slender and fair.But it was sweaty and cold to the touch.Li Guangning frowned, touched Du Yuzhang's body again, and was also sweating profusely.

At this time, the ginseng soup in the imperial dining room was ready.Li Guangning shook Du Yuzhang's body, but Du Yuzhang did not move.

"Stay on the feast. What? Do you want me to feed you?"

After Li Guangning finished speaking in a cold voice, he pushed Du Yuzhang again.Unexpectedly, Du Yuzhang almost fell out of his arms.Li Guangning subconsciously hugged him back, and Du Yuzhang's head drooped weakly.

Du Yuzhang really had no strength, so he got up and drank the ginseng soup by himself.

"It seems that I really want me to feed you."

Li Guangning took the silver spoon from the palace man.He suddenly remembered that when Du Yuzhang was sick a long time ago in the Prince's East Palace, he always fed him the medicine himself.

Of course, rice was also fed.At that time, he seemed to have endless patience with Du Yuzhang.

Strange to say.In the beginning, he kept this person by his side because he was similar to the white-clothed gentleman whom he valued most in his heart. Not only was his back similar, but his temperament was also very similar.But after getting along for a long time, he always forgets why he kept Du Yuzhang.

What's even more strange is that he didn't think about locking Bai Jiaoran by his side.But he couldn't let go of this substitute no matter what.

It's a pity that this double failed his love in the end.

Not only did he betray him, he wanted his life.

Thinking of this, Li Guangning felt a surge of hatred in his heart.He grabbed Du Yuzhang's hair and forced him to look up at himself.

"Du Qing, three years ago, you knelt in front of me and said that your family was planning to rebel. Do you remember that day?"

"..."

"Do you know that I have already noticed the traces of your Du family's rebellion at that time. Otherwise, why do you think that as soon as you came to report the letter, I led an army to flatten the Seventh Prince's other palace and wiped out all the rebels? "

"..."

"I waited for you to come and tell me that someone was going to murder me. I waited for many days. But you never came."

"..."

"I have erased all traces of dispatching troops and generals. In your eyes, I am defenseless, right? In your eyes, I am like a fool, waiting for your Du family's butcher knife to chop me down." The day it reaches my neck."

Du Yuzhang opened his eyes blankly.His head drooped limply, and his eyes were dim.

He understood in a trance, but didn't understand in a trance.

—What trace?What is His Majesty talking about?

——He never found any traces...never...

"...Until the last day, the traces of the deployment of heavy troops could no longer hide from you. On that day, you didn't return all day. I thought that after you went back to report the letter, you would never come back. But I didn't expect that you He actually came back again. Ha, the general situation of my rebellion has been decided, and your Du family’s rebellion has been exposed. At this time, you come to tell me—someone is going to kill me! You are killing relatives righteously, come to remind me, tell me to leave the East Palace far away, and flee to the Go overseas!"

Having said this, Li Guangning's hands trembled a little.He raised Du Yuzhang's chin.There was no flesh on Du Yuzhang's neck for a long time, and the thin lines looked shocking.Li Guangning brushed Du Yuzhang's sharpened chin with his fingertips, pinched his cheek, facing his own face.

"Du Yuzhang, you betrayed me."

He leaned close to Du Yuzhang's ear.He was short of breath, and the scorching breath sprayed against Du Yuzhang's ear, making Du Yuzhang tremble all over.Li Guangning gritted his teeth, unable to hide his hatred at all.

"I trust you so much and treat you so well. But Du Yuzhang...you failed me."

Li Guangning let go of his hand, and Du Yuzhang fell back onto the dragon couch.Li Guangning's figure was reflected in his blank eyes.But the candle was flickering like a ghost, and he couldn't see Li Guangning's expression at all.

Li Guangning's eyes were cold, but his heart seemed to be on fire.It has been three years, and this fire has tormented him for three full years.

If he ever trusted anyone without reservation, it was only Du Yuzhang.Although he was never as good as Bai Jiaoran, at least he stayed by Li Guangning's side.Li Guangning was very kind to him, and thought that he could trust him unconditionally.

Who knows, the Seventh Prince intends to rebel.And Du Yuzhang knew that the Du family was planning to kill him, yet he was able to appear in front of him as if nothing had happened, paralyzing himself!

Li Guangning had solid evidence in his hands, but he never made it public.Everyone thought that the downfall of the Du family was caused by Du Yuzhang, and that's why he was able to become prime minister.

No one knew at all, Li Guangning knew about the rebellion before anyone else.The destruction of the Du family was entirely due to him.

Du Yuzhang's so-called savior on a snowy night was nothing more than persuading him to seek refuge at sea—but Li Guangning knew very well that the Seventh Prince had laid a net by the sea.Going that way is a dead end.

So what is the intention of Du Yuzhang's informant and exhortation?

Every time Li Guangning thought of it, the flame in his heart would burn another foot.Now, it is already monstrous, and it is hard to return.

Even if Du Yuzhang betrayed him, he would have pardoned Du Yuzhang long ago.He gave Du Yuzhang a high-ranking official a generous salary, and gave him incomparable favor. Even Du Yuzhang begged him not to kill more than a hundred members of the Du family. Li Guangning really didn't kill those rebels who deserved to die!

Li Guangning thought that he was benevolent to Du Yuzhang!But Du Yuzhang...to this day, he still puts on that honest air.It seemed that even serving him was a humiliation under Li Guangning's persecution.

This person probably has no long-term intentions at all.

...It would be great if I could kill him ruthlessly.

……

With a clang, the silver spoon fell to the ground.Li Guangning's hand wandered over Du Yuzhang's neck.

Finally, the fingers stopped under Du Yuzhang's Adam's apple and slowly tightened.
