King's favor is hard to do

Du Yuzhang lay on the cold ground, and his breathing gradually weakened.The abdominal cramps came back, the lower abdomen felt cold, and suddenly there was a heart-piercing pain, and a large stream of red fluid gushed out again.

"Still doing some dirty tricks here, trying to deceive me?"

Li Guangning sneered, stepped on the bright red floor, and looked down at Du Yuzhang.

"Do you think I don't know? The medicine powder is fake blood, and it will still be bright red after three hours of vomiting, but the real blood will turn brown. Du Yuzhang, do you expect to use this dirty method to deceive me for the rest of your life?"

Just now when he held Du Yuzhang's hand, his palm was also stained with blood.He raised Du Yuzhang's face with one hand, and wiped all the blood on his face.

"Look at you. Your eye sockets are blue, and your face is pale. If you don't know who you are, you would really think that you are terminally ill and not far from death! I am really too soft-hearted. I was still a little worried last night. I regret that I didn't send someone. Saving you... But Han Yuan is meddling in his own business! I should just watch this good show in Xuanhu Alley with cold eyes, how did it end?"

"Last night...Your Majesty...didn't save me?"

Du Yuzhang was stunned.He looked up panting,

"... But Han Yuan came to save me last night... I sent someone to ask His Majesty for help, so Mr. Han..."

"That's what Han Yuan made on his own!"

Li Guangning interrupted Du Yuzhang sharply.

"As an important minister of the court, he went to Xuanhu Lane without permission! He also used court officers and soldiers without authorization. I haven't punished him yet! If I follow my wishes, I shouldn't have rescued you!"

"Shouldn't... save me?"

Du Yuzhang listened in a daze, almost unable to believe his ears.

"So no one came last night... because His Majesty didn't want to save me? Your Majesty, do you know that last night... I... I have been waiting for Your Majesty!"

"Again? How long do you want to lie to me?"

Li Guangning's tone became even colder,

"Of course you hope that I will be fooled and run over to save you like a fool! I have already seen through your shameless bastard!"

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about..." Du Yuzhang felt sore in his heart, "If I were a minister, would I really die there?"

Li Guangning's breathing was stagnant.

Of course he thought about it!After thinking about it all night last night, that feeling almost drove him crazy.Even now, when he heard Du Yuzhang spit out the word "death", his heart shrank suddenly.

But he also knew that Du Yuzhang would not die at all - he was using this to threaten himself!This shameless thing, his illness is fake, his vomiting blood is fake, even his attachment and repentance to himself just now are fake!

In an instant, Li Guangning was flooded with rage.He growled,

"If you die, you deserve it! Why are you still alive? Why don't you die? Ah? Aren't you seriously ill? You can't drink, you can't be tired, even if I want to use your lowly body to make love Do you bear it? Look at the 'blood' all over the floor, look at your arm—it's all to deceive me! Why aren't you dead? Go! I will never be sad for you!"

Every word hit Du Yuzhang's heart coldly.He knelt down on the ground, trembling and covering his ears with his hands.

"Your Majesty! I beg you to spare me... Please stop talking..."

"Don't want to hear? Huh? Are you pretending again?"

Li Guangning forcibly broke Du Yuzhang's hand.Pour those piercing words into Du Yuzhang's ears one by one.

"Du Yuzhang, listen to me—it's okay if you really die in this encounter! If you don't die, you will regret—why didn't I let that robber kill you with a knife!"

Du Yuzhang's body shook heavily.He raised his head slowly.

The expression on his face was as if he had just been punched between the eyebrows.

But he no longer begged Li Guangning to shut up.

A sad smile appeared on Du Yuzhang's lips.

"Your Majesty, you really wish..."

—Do you really want me to die?

Du Yuzhang couldn't finish the sentence he was thinking about.A bloody arrow shot out from his mouth, and he fell on his back without making a sound.
