King's favor is hard to do

He suddenly pulled out his finger, and slapped Du Yuzhang's face with his palm.The dripping water on the knuckles also smeared on Du Yuzhang's face.

"Look, after just a few hits, you were stabbed so hard that even the corners of your eyes turned red. Since you are so weak, you can't even withstand this kind of storm, so why bother to keep provoking me? Are you suffering enough, or what?"

Du Yuzhang reached out to wipe away the water marks on his face.He gritted his teeth and turned his head away, unwilling to look at Li Guangning.

"Another temper with me?"

Li Guangning stepped on Du Yuzhang's shoulder with his imperial riding boots.Slowly exerting force with his feet, he bent the man down a little bit.But Du Yuzhang's mood at this moment is very different from before-how can the joint talks be successful without an official position?He no longer needs to compromise.

Du Yuzhang didn't bend down obediently.Li Guangning seemed to feel his resistance, and his feet stopped.

"Huh? Still dare to compete with me secretly?"

Li Guangning kicked him suddenly!Du Yuzhang was caught off guard and fell to the ground directly.His face was scratched on the ground, and it was painful.

"Look, you think you are evenly matched with me, but in fact it's just that I show mercy to your subordinates and don't care about you. If I really want to punish you, I have a way."

Li Guangning stepped on Du Yuzhang's back with his riding boots, and stomped hard,

"understand?"

Du Yuzhang didn't want to answer at first, but the pain in his back gradually increased, making him unable to breathe.He gasped for breath, and sweat broke out on his brow.

"I'm asking you something—do you understand? Speak!"

"...Understood...ah!"

Stepping on it again, Du Yuzhang was finally forced to let out a scream.Li Guangning was finally satisfied, and raised his legs.

"It's good that you understand."

Feeling the pressure on his back disappear, Du Yuzhang got up and knelt on the ground panting.

The disease entangled in his viscera will make a comeback whenever he finds an opportunity.Du Yuzhang's face turned pale, and his chest also ached.He clutched his chest, breathing harder and harder.

He was so uncomfortable that he didn't notice that Li Guangning had stood up and took a step forward.

"there's one more thing."

"..."

"Du Yuzhang, since you promised me to enter the palace, then you should know that your life is already mine."

Before he finished speaking, something fell in front of Du Yuzhang with a crisp sound.Du Yuzhang was finally called back to his attention, he endured the pain and looked at it suspiciously - that thing is Li Guangning's close thing, a long life card that he has brought since childhood!This thing is carved from meteorite iron from the sky, which is in line with the emperor's status as the son of heaven. It is said that it can protect people's longevity and prevent diseases from invading. It is an auspicious thing that no money can buy.

"His Majesty?!"

"Reward you."

——This is the most personal thing for the emperor!Not to mention that he is still a foreign minister now, even if he really entered the harem, he is not qualified to take this longevity card!

Although Du Yuzhang was panting heavily and his fingertips were trembling, he still tried his best to push the longevity card back to Li Guangning's direction.

"This is His Majesty's Longevity Card... I can't..."

"I told you to take it! You're going to play around with me again, aren't you?"

Li Guangning's voice was stern, his eagle eyes narrowed, and he looked deeply into Du Yuzhang's eyes.

"Longevity card... I still use it to protect my longevity? I am the Son of Heaven, blessed by God, I don't need this!"

Du Yuzhang wanted to shake his head, but his chin was pinched by a big hand.Du Yuzhang's eyes were also a little slack, and he tried his best to focus on the person in front of him.He felt something being stuffed into his hands.

"I told you to take it. Why, must I tie it around your neck with my own hands?"
