King's favor is hard to do

It's down.All the ministers filed out, and finally the whole hall was empty.Li Guangning didn't move at all, his eyes were fixed on the positions of the civil servants on the left, and he was slightly lost in thought.

That person once stood at the head of the civil servants.He fought against the Confucian scholars in the court hall with impassioned enthusiasm, and he was in the limelight for a while.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty!"

Wang Li called softly from behind.After calling several times, Li Guangning came back to his senses.

"What's the matter?"

Li Guangning's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were unfocused.Although he was sitting on the dragon chair, his soul didn't seem to be there at all.Seeing him like this, Wang Li's heart tightened.But he didn't say much.

"Your Majesty, are you going back to the palace?"

"Well, let's go back to the palace."

Back in the imperial study, Li Guangning remained silent.He sat for a while, and opened the stack of memorials in front of him.But after a long time, he did not put pen to mark a single word.

The imperial brush was suspended in the air, and the cinnabar dripped on the paper, bright red like blood.

Seeing this, Wang Li opened his mouth to speak a few times, but he couldn't say anything admonishing him.

Yes, Your Majesty is diligent in government affairs, what advice can you give?

Unlike the last time when Du Yuzhang faked his death, His Majesty looked crazy, hugging the corpse without eating or drinking.This time, His Majesty remained silent, and went to the morning court to review the memorials as usual.If it is abnormal, it is just that the words are extremely rare, and I am lost in thought from time to time...

But Wang Li felt chills in his heart.

He always felt that His Majesty was like a walking dead.The outside barely maintained its normal shell, but the inside collapsed without a sound.

There was a deathly silence in the imperial study room.Li Guangning sat for a long time, until some eunuchs from the imperial dining room brought some snacks, and the silence was broken.

"Boss Wang, I heard that your majesty had a bad appetite yesterday and couldn't eat anything. The imperial dining room specially prepared your majesty's favorite crispy snacks, and a cup of burnt hawthorn tea that soothes the spleen and appetizers."

"Okay. You go down."

Wang Li held the dessert and respectfully placed it in front of Li Guangning,

"Your Majesty, these snacks..."

"let it go."

Wang Li was even more worried.But he didn't say much, and retreated.

There is no one else in the imperial study room.

However, Li Guangning seemed to hear many voices at the same time.

—— "Du Qing, this dim sum is just ordinary. But after passing through Du Qing's mouth, it is extremely delicious. From now on, you will serve me to eat dim sum like this. Do you remember?"

——"Your Majesty is really stingy. I ate most of that piece of snack just now. I saw that there was still some leftovers on your Majesty's lips—so let me reward you. Okay?"

—— "Du Qing, from now on, besides Jiangshan Sheji, I can also reserve a place for you in my heart. Do you want it?"

But just three days ago, in this same imperial study room, he even shared a snack with that person with a joke.How complacent was he then?Ready to eradicate the remnants of the Seventh Prince, and get rid of the confidant's serious troubles... The one I love is on my knees, I only hope that the sky will last forever...

Li Guangning slowly picked up a crispy snack from the snack box, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.

The soft words in the memories are still in his ears, and they can't stop reverberating in Li Guangning's heart.

Li Guangning stared at the snack, his eyes gradually blurred.His lips trembled, and so did his shoulders.Even a small piece of dim sum couldn't be held, it fell to the ground with a slap, and broke into pieces on the ground.

Dayan's emperor bent his back, his face deeply buried in the palm of his hand.He didn't cry, and he didn't move.He was like a candle with its wick drawn out.At a rough glance, he still looks quite decent, but there is no light in his heart, let alone hope.
