King's favor is hard to do

When the two parted, the corners of Du Yuzhang's eyes were red with a sad expression.Li Guangning's heart fluttered again, seeing that Du Yuzhang still didn't look at him, Li Guangning pinched his chin and pulled his face back.

"What are you hiding from? Huh? Say, what are you doing in the East Palace so late?"

"..."

Li Guangning plucked the petals off Du Yuzhang's hair.The person in front of him was dressed in white, as warm as jade, which made his heart throb.For a moment, the urge to hold this person in his arms became stronger.

"If you don't tell me, I will just treat you as if you went to the welcome banquet in Ximan - I will punish you severely!"

Du Yuzhang's eyes moved, and he looked at Li Guangning.

"If I really went to privately meet the Young Master Ximan, what should Your Majesty do?"

Li Guangning only listened to this hypothesis, and his eyes darkened instantly.He said viciously,

"I will lock you in my bedroom, and I will only serve you every day! Don't say anything about the young master of the West Man, you won't even see anyone except me. Du Qing, didn't you say that you like me? Then you Just seeing me is enough! What do you think?"

Du Yuzhang's face turned pale.He gritted his teeth and chuckled.

"Your Majesty has always been ruthless with his ministers."

"Who told you to deceive the emperor? You deserve it!"

deceive you?

Du Yuzhang lowered his eyes.Just now, he just went to see Su Rucheng, and he purposely crushed a few large magnolia flowers in the carriage, dyeing his whole body with fragrance.Lest Li Guangning didn't notice, he even pinned a petal on his hair - deceiving the king?He, Du Yuzhang, worked so hard just to deceive the emperor!

Li Guangning humiliated him like that in the past, wasn't it just for the sake of an unwarranted "deception"?Heh... If this gentleman is not deceitful, how can he be worthy of him!

"Speak! What are you going to do?"

"I don't want to say it."

"No? It seems that you have forgotten your identity!"

"I never dare to forget my identity!"

Du Yuzhang raised his head suddenly, tears welled up in his eyes.

"I am just a servant of His Majesty, and I dare not ask for the slightest pity from His Majesty! Although the East Palace is good, it is in the past after all. I just deceive myself and play a song by myself, pretending that my sweetheart is still listening to it... But I have no face, Say this to His Majesty?"

Li Guangning was stunned.

In the old days of the East Palace, Du Yuzhang's piano and paintings were first-class, and he often played at official banquets, or gave paintings as entertainment gifts.But few people know that Du Yuzhang also plays a good flute—it's just that he seldom plays it to others, and only when he has something on his mind, he will use the flute to express his heart.

The only exception is that when I am with myself, I often play some tunes for myself.

But now... three years later, he has never heard that person's flute again.

Li Guangning suddenly felt sour.Memories of the past came flooding back.The moonlight was hazy, the magnolia flowers were fragrant, Du Yuzhang in front of him was biting his lip, his eye circles were also red, he was really pitiful.

"Jade chapter..."

Li Guangning stretched out his hand subconsciously.Unexpectedly, before he touched Du Yuzhang's body, Du Yuzhang had already raised his face and put his cheek in his palm.Those eyes were slightly closed, with faint tears.

Du Yuzhang's voice was also trembling, as if years of grievances burst out at the same time today.he asked tremblingly,

"Your Majesty, in this life...will I not be able to wait for your majesty's liking?"

"Who said I don't like Yuzhang?"

Li Guangning blurted out.Realizing what he said, he withdrew his hand like an electric shock.

But Du Yuzhang had clearly heard it.He opened his eyes, and his pupils were extremely bright in the night.

"I... I mean, if Du Qing behaves better in the future, I can't help showing pity for you. But if you are disobedient..." Li Guangning was a little flustered, with a stern tone.In his heart, however, tenderness gradually arose—if he hadn't forced himself to restrain himself, he would just want to hold Du Yuzhang in his arms!

"I am obedient."

Du Yuzhang threw himself into his arms.Full of warmth and nephrite, Li Guangning couldn't even speak threats.He panted lightly, gradually tightened his arms, and finally held Du Yuzhang in his arms.

"Yuzhang...in my heart...these years...why don't you miss those years?"

A love affair, endlessly charming.

Even if everything was over, Li Guangning still refused to let go of Du Yuzhang and hugged him tightly.

Du Yuzhang also curled up in his arms.But no one saw the mocking smile on his lips—but he didn't know whether it was mocking others or self-deprecating?

……

When Du Yuzhang returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Guangning was still reluctant to part with him, and his eyes couldn't stop lingering on his face.Du Yuzhang just smiled, but the corners of his eyes were still red - the redness made Li Guangning's heart ache and sour, and he wished he could rub Du Yuzhang into his own flesh and blood, so that he would never be separated again.

Wait until Li Guangning leaves.The smile on Du Yuzhang's face also gradually disappeared.He walked back to the room alone and opened the small warehouse.These days, there are many more things in it.Jewelry, shining dazzling.Du Yuzhang didn't even bother to look at it, he just picked up the small box on the ground.

Two golden scorpions and a brocade pouch lay quietly in Du Yuzhang's palm.

After looking at it for a long time, Du Yuzhang smiled slightly.He raised his hand and threw it hard!

With a puff, some dust was splashed.The once cherished heart is buried in the endless wealth and encumbrance, and can never be seen again.

Du Yuzhang turned around and walked out of the warehouse.He wiped his face, and wiped it again - he obviously didn't care about that person.But I don't know why, but the tears kept streaming down, and I couldn't wipe them off.
