King's favor is hard to do

Du Yuzhang was forcefully pressed on his knee, rubbing directly against the wound, and his leg twitched from the pain.Why doesn't he want to get out of this torture sooner?But the pain in his waist was as if he had been run over by a heavy object, and he couldn't bear it at all.Du Yuzhang was afraid that the movement would be too big, blood would drip from the wound, and his secret would be betrayed, so he could only move backward with difficulty, and the movement was slower.

Li Guangning was already impatient.he laughed

"What? I'm greedy for my dragon's knee, but I won't leave? Get out of here!"

Before finishing speaking, Li Guangning casually pushed Du Yuzhang off his lap.Du Yuzhang tore at the base of his leg, and whimpered in pain.His legs were so weak that he couldn't stand, and he staggered and fell to the ground.He was shaking all over, and even when he was panting, he felt pain in his lower body.He held on to the desk several times and tried hard, but he couldn't stand up.

Li Guangning didn't even look at him.

"Okay. I don't know how many times Concubine Xu has used this kind of trick of kneeling down and pretending to be pitiful. I have long been tired of it. What, you Du Yuzhang want to learn from him? You can see what happens to him arrive."

"Chen... just felt weak in his legs for a while. After waiting for a while, he stood up naturally."

"Oh? Weak legs?"

Li Guangning thought, originally he was much more ruthless to Du Yuzhang than this time.But he never reacted as violently as this time.In his heart, he only thought that Du Yuzhang was asking for pets, and he became even more impatient.He sneered,

"It's not just weak legs? Later, Du Qing might take out a pack of medicine and swallow it, claiming that I vomited blood because of me."

Du Yuzhang was stabbed in the heart again.He bit his lip fiercely, leaned on the desk, and stood up unsteadily.He was about to fall to the ground halfway, but his fingernails pinched the tender flesh of the palm of his hand, and he managed to hold on.It's just that the heel of the leg was exerted suddenly, and a warm blood flowed out again, but he couldn't care about it.

"Your Majesty is retiring. But your majesty—you have promised me your grace, but you must not forget it!"

"Ah."

Li Guangning didn't even lift his head, he hummed casually.But when Du Yuzhang really opened the door and walked out, he raised his head.

Du Yuzhang staggered, his legs seemed to be unable to move, and his posture was very unnatural.Li Guangning narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and looked down at his dragon robe.

There was indeed a bloodstain on it.Although not large, it is bright red in color and has not completely dried up.

"No wonder it hurts. Come to think of it, it was because I moved too much just now and hurt him."

Li Guangning touched the bloodstain with his fingertips, and looked in front of his eyes.He suddenly felt some remorse—if he had known earlier, he should have pitied him more.Judging by his appearance, the previous illness was also a severe torment.

But when he thought about the betrayal three years ago, the pity disappeared in an instant.His face darkened, and he sneered,

"But even so, where can it hurt? It's just a little bit of suffering when serving the master... This Du Yuzhang, what right does he have to be hypocritical!"

……

Du Yuzhang forced himself out of the imperial study room and collapsed directly.After trying several times, but still unable to stand up, Du Yuzhang lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment, a hot tide rushed over his body, and cold sweat wet his chest and back.

There was no one on the front porch, and the breeze was blowing from the royal garden outside.It's spring, and the wind is not too cold.But Du Yuzhang's body was terribly weak, and the sticky cold sweat was blown by the phoenix, as if the cold had reached his bones.He trembled uncontrollably, and his teeth made a cracking sound.

There was a sound of footsteps at the end of the front porch.Du Yuzhang frowned, and stood up with his support against the wall.He felt warm liquid under his body again, but he couldn't care less.

"Master Du?"

Wang Li was very surprised.Du Yuzhang's face was ashen, and the hair on his forehead was stuck to his face with cold sweat.Although he was still trembling, he smiled at Wang Li.

"Boss Wang, I'm leaving now."

"You... You can rest in the study room in front for a while! I will send you a sedan chair to take you home later."

"Thank you, Manager Wang."

Du Yuzhang leaned on the wall and moved forward.He shuffled, trying not to tear the wound, but the pain in his lower body didn't ease at all.The warm touch is still there, and it slides down the inside of the leg.

"Slave Wang Li, please greet the Long Live Lord."

Wang Li stood outside the door to say hello, but he felt a little uneasy - Du Yuzhang seemed to be extremely weak.He couldn't help but look at Du Yuzhang's back.

But found that Du Yuzhang seemed to leave some faint traces on the ground where Du Yuzhang walked.Although it was only dripping, it was bright red and dazzling.

Wang Li gasped, and subconsciously wanted to call Du Yuzhang to stop.But at this moment, there was movement in the imperial study room,

"Come in. What's the matter?"

The emperor's summons cannot be delayed.Wang Li looked at Du Yuzhang's back worriedly, and had no choice but to open the door and go in.

"Your Majesty, Director Xi just sent a message saying that the Empress Dowager has arrived from Fengxi Palace and is almost at the Imperial Study Room."

"Mother? What is she doing here?"

"This, Manager Xi of Fengqi Palace didn't say anything. Besides, General Xu also asked to see him outside."

"not see!"

"But General Xu..."

"I said I won't see you. You just say that I'm not feeling well, and please send back my mother and General Xu."

Wang Li responded and exited the imperial study.Looking further ahead, Du Yuzhang had disappeared.

——If Master Du was sent back to the mansion directly, he might face the Queen Mother Fengjia.The empress dowager is the most face-saving, whoever dares to be a little negligent and disrespectful to her, she must be brutally tortured, so as to show her dignity.

Wang Li thought to himself, one more thing is worse than one less thing, it is better to let Mrs. Du rest in the side study for a while, so as not to meet the Queen Mother.

Wang Li had good intentions, but man was not as good as God.The queen mother did not wait outside, but broke into the imperial garden on her own, relying on no one dared to stop her.So Du Yuzhang was still on the front porch, and before he had time to enter the side study, he heard a flattering voice coming from around the corner.

"This Wang Li must be due to old age and poor legs and feet! I haven't been able to pass the news of the Queen Mother's arrival to His Majesty at this moment, otherwise His Majesty must have come out to greet Your Majesty long ago! Oh, there is a small stone here, Your Majesty! Slow down! I'll kick this stone away, don't hurt your mother's feet!"

Hearing this sound, Du Yuzhang's head buzzed and his scalp went numb.

Although he hadn't seen anyone yet, how could he not recognize that it was Xiao Xizi's voice?On that day, Xiao Xizi tied him to the cleansing room, stabbed him deeply in the heart of his leg, and found someone to dirty his body!Du Yuzhang will never forget this neither male nor female voice!

Du Yuzhang's scalp exploded, and he turned around and wanted to escape.But he was dragging his injuries, even if he endured the pain and quickened his pace, how fast could he walk?

"Stop!" Xiao Xizi's voice came from behind, "Which ignorant courtier is in front? Seeing the Queen Mother Fengjia, why don't you kneel down to greet her?"

Du Yuzhang made a decisive decision, turned around and plopped down on his knees.He lowered his head so that the top of his head almost touched the ground.Du Yuzhang was afraid that Xiao Xizi would find out his identity, so he even spoke in a very low voice.

"My minister kowtows to the Empress Dowager! Greetings to the Empress Dowager!"

"Oh, I see."

The queen mother didn't even look at him.She walked past Du Yuzhang arrogantly, only thinking that his trembling body and weak voice were captured by the phoenix majesty of her mother.Du Yuzhang's stomach twitched nervously, and he didn't even dare to take a breath.It was only when the queen mother's guard of honor had passed by that she breathed a sigh of relief.

"and many more!"

At this moment, Xiao Xizi's ear-piercing voice suddenly sounded!

"Your Majesty, please wait! That person just now..."

"What happened to that man?"

Xiao Xizi's face was full of smiles, and her eyes were full of malicious light.He pointed at Du Yuzhang like a chicken claw,

"Your Majesty, I'm a poor-eyed servant, and I almost didn't recognize him just now—this one is Mrs. Du who is so fond of court!"
