King's favor is hard to do

"Lord Du, this is His Majesty's letter. Everything His Majesty wants to say is contained in it. You can see what His Majesty thinks after you take a look. Now, His Majesty really cares about Lord Du very much."

After speaking, Wang Li waited for another moment.But Du Yuzhang remained silent.He also had to leave.

……

Thinking of that scene, Wang Li felt even more uneasy.

"Your Majesty, should I... the slave go to persuade Lord Du?"

"No need to go."

Li Guangning looked cold and hard,

"I have given him all the promises I can give him. If he refuses to give in, he will find himself dead!"

"But Mr. Du is really not convinced. Could it be that His Majesty really..."

"Anyway, don't go!"

"But……"

"No but! Du Yuzhang is just betting that I can't kill him, betting that I must let him go! He is so confident, can I still do what he wants? At the last moment, he knew that I could really let him go and let him die. He should be obedient!"

"But what if Du Xiang really refuses?"

"Then I will..."

just what?Just really kill him?

Li Guangning gritted his molars, as if he wanted to get angry.In the end, he still failed to say the words "If he refuses to give in, I will kill him".

Wang Li kept silent, but he didn't hear the second half of Li Guangning's words for a long time.He raised his eyes, but in a daze, he saw that there were some white hairs on the young monarch's head.

After a while, a word came softly.

"...There are still two hours. Let's wait and see."

Such a confrontation almost exhausted the efforts of both sides.

Wang Li couldn't bear it, but there was nothing he could do.He didn't expect Master Du to have such a hard heart.Faced with such a letter, he was actually able to not reply a word, and was still waiting to die in the prison.

Wang Li felt that His Majesty had already made a concession.After all, he is the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign, how can he humbly beg a courtier?

——Wang Li didn't know that Li Guangning actually asked for what he should have asked for three days ago.

——And Du Yuzhang remained indifferent because the biggest knot in his heart was not about who would win or lose in this dispute.

……

[May [-]th, [-]:[-] p.m.]

"Your Majesty! There is still half an hour..."

Wang Li finally couldn't stand it anymore.He glanced at Li Guangning anxiously, and wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

He has served Li Guangning for more than ten years.He has no wife and no children, and has taken care of Li Guangning since he was a child. Although he is an old servant, he regards Li Guangning as a junior in his heart.

Even Du Yuzhang, he grew up watching him.But now...he can only watch as the two of them have come to this day step by step, and it turned out to be a deadlock!

Li Guangning glanced at him.There was no expression on his face, and the shadows under his eyes were heavy, showing his gauntness and exhaustion.

Li Guangning spoke softly.

"Wang Li, look how cruel Du Yuzhang is. He would rather die than listen to a word from me."

"Your Majesty, you can't really be angry with Du Xiang..."

"Now, where is it that I am angry with him?"

Li Guangning smiled wryly,

"The person who is angry is Du Yuzhang. He used his life to be angry with me to the last moment. I really can't help it. Wang Li, I really can't help it... You used to say that I was too cruel, but Can I be more ruthless than him? I have backed down repeatedly and surrendered everything. As long as he is willing to live, I... I don't care what he does or where he goes!"

"His Majesty……"

"But I am like this, and he still refuses to turn back. Does he have to force me to beg him before he will give up?"
