King's favor is hard to do

"You monstrous bastard... You are truly a disaster... You actually seduced me like this!"

[Omitted]

Even Li Guangning felt something was wrong.He raised his head and looked at the person in front of him - why was Du Yuzhang's stunning face so pale?

"Du Qing, what are you doing? Why are you shaking?"

"I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time, and I miss you very much. So I am a little excited to see Your Majesty again."

Du Yuzhang was still smiling, and stretched out his arms to hook his neck, not letting him bow his head.He was afraid that when Li Guangning saw the wound between his legs, he would pursue the shameful incident that made him feel so painful, so even though the root of his leg was already shaking with pain, he still insisted on not letting Li Guangning find out.

If Li Guangning cared about him, maybe he would stop his atrocities and carefully check what happened to him.But Du Yuzhang knew that Li Guangning would not have the patience to care for his body, let alone notice the miserable wound.

"Missing me? Ha——Du Qing, you are really brazen!"

Sure enough, Li Guangning didn't even look to see if there was anything unusual under him.He has long been fascinated by Du Yuzhang and can't wait.

[Omitted]

It hurts so much.Such a serious injury was almost torn apart alive.Du Yuzhang didn't even have the strength to move his fingers.He lay on the desk and couldn't stop panting, his eyes were dazzled.

Du Yuzhang was shivering uncontrollably, with waves of heat alternating with waves of sweat. The cold sweat pierced through his obscene clothes, sticking to his body wetly.

Li Guangning patted his cheek and was about to get up.

But Du Yuzhang raised his hand and hooked Li Guangning's wrist.

Li Guangning paused, frowning.He could feel the slender fingers as cold as a dead person, and the palm was covered with sticky cold sweat.Li Guangning lowered his head and saw that the fingers were trembling slightly, the fingertips were bloodless.His gaze shifted from his wrist to the man's face little by little - Du Yuzhang's eye sockets were blue and white, his lips were pale, and his eyes were all slackened.

Li Guangning reached out and touched Du Yuzhang's face.Du Yuzhang's forehead was cold, but his cheeks were hot like fire.It was as if something tickled in his heart, making him speak softly,

"Sure enough, I'm seriously ill. I just pamper you a little, but I can't stand it like this. Du Qing, how can you be so weak?"

Du Yuzhang let out a miserable laugh and avoided the topic.

"Your Majesty promised me that I would bestow grace on you. But you can't just leave like this."

"It turned out to be for this."

Li Guangning was in a good mood after getting close to Du Yuzhang just now.he asked with a smile,

"What does Du Qing want? Say it."

Li Guangning sat down, dragged Du Yuzhang up from the desk, and carried him to his arms.Du Yuzhang was in a daze, staggered, and fell directly into Li Guangning's arms.

Li Guangning split Du Yuzhang's legs and told him to straddle his lap.This is an ordinary posture, but at this moment, Du Yuzhang, how can the heels of his legs withstand such a tear?The root of the leg seemed to be chiseled by a knife, Du Yuzhang's pupils shrank, and he fell directly into Li Guangning's arms.

Du Yuzhang's body trembled, and he huddled in Li Guangning's arms and couldn't stop panting.

"Du Qing?"

This time, Li Guangning also noticed something was wrong.He frowned into the word Chuan and raised Du Yuzhang's chin.

"What is this for? Why do you feel bad?"

"Chen... I just recovered from a serious illness... Take it easy..."

"Since you are so weak, you shouldn't be wandering around. Du Qing, if you want me to tell you, you only need to leave it to Bai Aiqing to deal with the western barbarians. I have a decree to tell General Xu to stop and not to entangle with them. But It's a joint discussion—who's not the same?"

Du Yuzhang shook his head, sweat dripping down his chin.

"This matter must be done by the minister himself. On the side of General Xu, the minister can start with the grain and salary in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River..."

"You want to pinch their rations and salaries? Don't even think about it!"

Li Guangning's face suddenly sank,

"Army rations and salaries are the lifelines of powerful and powerful generals. If you dare to touch this, they will try to plot against you and kill you! Du Yuzhang, don't think that you can do whatever you want if I protect you! This matter, even if it is my own initiative Yes, it's too risky!"

"Your Majesty means that it is military rations and military pay. Anyone who moves is a dead word. Even Your Majesty, it is impossible to save this person. Is it?"

"If I could manipulate them at will, would I allow them to be arrogant here for so many years?"

Li Guangning's face became increasingly ugly,

"To get to today's situation, it's not thanks to you, Mrs. Du! If you hadn't brought the rich households in the south of the Yangtze River to the old seven, I would be so passive now? Up to now, the food in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River and the soldiers on the northwest border are still colluding. , and it is still my Dayan's internal worries!"

"If I'm a minister, how can I solve this internal worry for His Majesty?"

Before Du Yuzhang could speak, Li Guangning suddenly grabbed his chin forcefully, with a sharp look in his eyes.

"You didn't listen to what I said, did you? Even if you really win the generals and get the pay, they still won't let it go! It's impossible for me to really execute them all! They have heavy soldiers in their hands, and I have to do something Compromise, otherwise you will risk the emptiness in the country and the risk of being driven directly by the enemy!"

"...So even if His Majesty gains the upper hand, you have to send a scapegoat to appease their anger."

"If there is a day, the scapegoat that I will hand over will not be someone else, but you."

"..."

"So I hope that I will never, never have that day. I am the emperor of Dayan. I will deal with these warlords and generals myself! But I don't need to use your life, Du Yuzhang, to pave the way for my empire! Just obediently keep your duty and serve me by my side! Do you understand me!"

"...The minister understands."

Li Guangning was satisfied with this.He casually pinched Du Yuzhang's buttocks hard, feeling a shudder in his arms.

"That's right, you can't be greedy. The master grants you grace, and you have to look at your own weight. Don't do things that are beyond your control. You go back and think about what you want, and then come here to ask for it!"

"Kechen has already thought about it."

There was a silence.Li Guangning was already a little unhappy.He thought, Du Yuzhang had only served him a few times before he made such a big request, and even wanted the emperor to support him in dealing with powerful generals—how dare he mention such an important and dangerous matter?

"If you really confront the powerful generals, I will really dare to cut you off to appease them! Du Yuzhang, you are my Ninth Five-Year Honor, can you change what you said?!"

"..."

Seeing Du Yuzhang bowed his head silently, Li Guangning became even more irritable.He waved his hand,

"Okay, I owe you the grace, I will remember it for you. I am the emperor, so I will keep my word."

"Okay." Du Yuzhang actually smiled, "Your Majesty knows what you say, and the grace you promised will be honored. If you are disobedient, you will kill me if you say so, and you will definitely kill me. I will keep it in my heart." ——Your Majesty, you must remember today as well as your golden words.”

"Of course I remember!" Li Guangning scolded, "Still leaving?"

"...The minister obeys the order."
