King's favor is hard to do

Li Guangning laughed in a low voice and tried harder.Du Yuzhang was completely imprisoned in his arms, and his body was pressed between Li Guangning's slender legs.The sedan chair is extremely cramped.Kneeling like this, Du Yuzhang couldn't even move.It takes at least an hour to walk more than ten miles from East Lake.Kneeling like this is simply torture.

"Du Qing, sit on my lap by yourself."

The sedan chair suddenly left the ground and swayed.This is the bearers lifting the sedan chair and heading towards the South Lake.

There are so many people outside the sedan chair... Du Yuzhang bit his lip and looked at Li Guangning beggingly.He really wants to let himself lose the last bit of face in front of these people?

After making a fuss for a while, it was finally drunk.Li Guangning actually fell into a deep sleep, which relieved Du Yuzhang.

But the road ahead is not so easy.Du Yuzhang huddled under Li Guangning's feet, stuck in the small car, not daring to move at all.In order not to bump into Li Guangning, he curled himself into a ball, unable to breathe at all.Two knees were pressed against the chest, and the chest cavity was even more oppressed.The longer it took, the more he felt suffocated, and even the dull pain suppressed by the effect of the medicine was aroused.

With his fingers, he pulled out the medicine bottle from his pocket, poured out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth.I don't know if the movement was a little too big, which alarmed Li Guangning - he just put the medicine bottle back, and a hand stretched out from behind to lift him up.

"Du Qing."

"Your Majesty...are you awake?"

Li Guangning's eyes swept from the corner of Du Yuzhang's lips to his chest.Du Yuzhang wondered if he saw himself taking medicine, and was nervous about how to deal with it.But Li Guangning didn't ask.He let go of his hand and made Du Yuzhang kneel down again.

"After drinking, my head hurts a little. Du Qing, press me for me."

After speaking, he closed his eyes and leaned his back on the car.His knees are slightly open, like an invitation.

Li Guangning was originally tall, but he refused to bow his head to make it easier for Du Yuzhang.If Du Yuzhang was kneeling, no matter how much he straightened his arms, he would not be able to get his head.

But asking him to sit on Li Guangning's lap, not only did he not dare, but he was even more unwilling.

Du Yuzhang hunched over, half bent his legs, and barely raised his hand to press on Li Guangning's temple.After kneading for a while, his legs were already trembling with soreness, and his waist was even more painful.

He tried his best to support himself, and slightly changed his posture.

"Who allowed you to move?"

Li Guangning spoke suddenly,

"Just now, the strength is just right, just rub it for me like that."

While speaking, he put one hand on Du Yuzhang's waist and stopped on his tight waist.Du Yuzhang knew that he must be able to feel that he was shaking all the time, but he wanted to stand still, but he couldn't.

When the sedan chair stopped suddenly, Du Yuzhang was already covered in sweat.From the arms to the legs, and then to the waist, it was so sore.He breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, and only hoped that Li Guangning would get out of the sedan chair quickly to end this punishment.

Unexpectedly, Li Guangning did not move.Du Yuzhang didn't dare to move, so he continued to stretch his arms and knead the temples of the man in front of him.Li Guangning closed his eyes, as if enjoying himself, a smile slowly formed on the corners of his lips.

Being so stiff and motionless is more tormenting than whipping.Du Yuzhang's panting gradually became more acute, and his thigh hurt, as if he had sprained it.There was a drop of sweat on the tip of his nose, he shook it little by little, and finally fell down and landed on Li Guangning's face.

The emperor opened his eyes.He smiled softly.

"That's not enough? I thought Du Qing, who disobeyed me, had so much ability. But it turns out that you are only capable of going against my will."

Chapter 39. I hope that when you cannot survive or die in the future, you can remember today

"..."

"You are just relying on the fact that I have shown mercy to many of your subordinates before. You have no fear and become arrogant, don't you? Do you really think that I can't do anything to you?"

"I dare not..."

"Don't tell me that you don't dare." Li Guangning's voice darkened, "Du Qing, today I just want you to remember one thing."

Li Guangning stood up.Du Yuzhang was so squeezed that he lost his balance and knelt down against the sedan chair wall.He couldn't keep his balance for a while, and pressed his palms to the ground, but it blocked Li Guangning's way to get off the sedan chair.

"... I hope that in the future, when you can't survive or die, you can remember today—how you have disappointed me."

After all, Li Guangning stepped on Du Yuzhang's hand without hesitation.

……

The imperial sedan is only parked on the side of the East Lake Avenue, and there is still some distance from the wharf where the cruise ships are moored.This time, Li Guangning did not ask Du Yuzhang to ride with him.

Du Yuzhang knelt in the sedan chair for a long time holding his injured hand.Li Guangning stepped on the little finger of his left hand, and it swelled up.The ten fingers connected to the heart, the pain was so painful.Du Yuzhang waited until the stabbing pain finally turned into a dull pain, and then wiped the cold sweat off his forehead tremblingly.

When he was finally able to get out of the sedan chair as usual, Li Guangning had already left.

On the side of the pier, a two-story boat docked on the shore, and the exquisite palace lanterns on it complemented each other, illuminating the water surface.Although it is a boat, the carved beams and painted buildings on it are like a pavilion on the water, with extraordinary momentum.

Du Yuzhang was carried on the boat all the way in a sedan chair.When I got off the sedan chair, the night wind blew across the lake, and it was bone-chillingly cold.

Entering the cabin, there are several cushions scattered on a couch, and the floor is also covered with foreign wool blankets, which are soft and warm to step on.Li Guangning leaned on the couch, looking at Du Yuzhang coldly.

"Sit down."

Du Yuzhang sat down on one side.Li Guangning looked at him sideways, but didn't say a word.Du Yuzhang could feel Li Guangning's anger in this gaze.

"Your Majesty, my minister..."

"Sit beside me."

On the food table in front of him, Li Guangning, two exquisite tableware had already been set up, filled with snow-white fish cakes, served with large ice cubes, and alcoholic wine was placed next to it, the aroma of which was overflowing.

Li Guangning tapped the wine glass in front of him with his chin,

"Drink it."

When Du Yuzhang saw it, his heart skipped a beat.He has never been good at drinking, let alone being tortured by Li Guangning for half a day today, his body is already weak.Doctor Zheng's advice is still in his ears, such raw and cold food, coupled with strong alcohol, I'm afraid he will drink it...

"how?"

Li Guangning shook the wine glass in his hand and suddenly fell to the ground.

"Does Du Qing want me to feed you with my own hands?"

The hello that Li Guangning said is naturally not the usual "hey" - he will forcefully choke your throat and pour it directly into your stomach and intestines, even if it makes you cry and cough endlessly, he will not stop .

"I dare not."

"Then drink it yourself."

"Your Majesty... I am sick now... but I dare not drink..."

"You don't want to drink? Of course you can." Li Guangning turned his face sideways and stared at Du Yuzhang, "Today I brought you on board, and I wanted you to attend a good show. The Imperial Envoy Platform, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites have made an appointment to come together See me. Tell me, why did they come here?"

The Imperial Envoy Platform can impeach officials, the Ministry of War is in charge of marching and fighting, and the Ministry of Rites is in charge of diplomatic sacrifices... Who else can they come for when they get together?The imperial decree was issued today to appoint him, Du Yuzhang, as the envoy for peace talks!The officials of the imperial court were already fiercely opposed to the peace talks, and they must have formed an alliance in private, and they wanted to do something secretly to mess up the matter!

"Your Majesty! They...they are here for the Western Man peace talks!"

"However, it doesn't matter why they came here now." Li Guangning sneered, "I still have your concerns in mind, and I want to bring you here to hear their intentions. What about you? You don't even want a glass of wine." Willing to drink. Du Qing, since you feel that the position of the imperial censor has been handed down and the imperial decree has been promulgated, you also have the words I promised you three years ago as your backing—you don’t need me to support you anymore, Don't you? Don't want to drink my wine? It's okay. Get out of here now."
