Looking at his tear-stained face, Li Yu hesitated for a long time and didn't speak.

He never knew Xiurong's feelings for him.

Surely we should have kept our distance?Don't tell Xiurong everything, don't be gentle with him, you won't let him show such an expression.

But... the matter has come to this point, there is no way to change it, and I can only make it clear.

Li Yu considered his words, and spoke cautiously, for fear of hurting Leng Xiurong again.

"I also like Xiurong very much... But, it's the kind of like as a friend."

"Hahaha..." He smiled wryly, "You rejected me... so quickly?"

Li Yu opened his eyes slightly, only then did he realize that his attitude towards Xiurong's confession was completely different from Shen Haoran's.

He laughed so hard that his whole body was trembling, and tears of warmth fell down, hitting Li Yu's face all over.

"Sorry……"

"How can you like me? What should I do to make you like me..."

"Sorry……"

He took a deep breath, slowly wiped away the remaining tears on his face, stood up, looked down at Li Yu who was on the bed from the backlight, and there was no light in his eyes anymore.

"Is it because I... am too timid, so I can't get your love?"

"No, things like feelings—"

"If one day, I also become a person who can dominate the life and death of others, will you like me?"

——The power of life and death?Li Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Wait, Xiurong, are you going to be with the third prince—"

"Hahaha...hahaha..." He laughed, the laughter was endlessly sad, "Why...you know everything?"

"Yes, I became the third prince's subordinate, because he can give me the power and status I want."

Li Yu gasped, he didn't know at all that Leng Xiurong was still heading towards the original plot line, it was all because he was busy with the autumn exams these few months, so he didn't notice his strangeness at all.

"Shen Yixuan is just using you!" He will kill you when you are no longer useful.

Thinking of the tragic ending of Leng Xiurong in the original work, Li Yu couldn't help shaking his head, "You can't—"

"Hahaha..." He smiled, slowly stopped his voice, and replied in a deep voice, "It's fine for him to use me, as long as I can get what I want, that's fine."

Even if this life will be lost forever, that's fine.

"As long as I can get you, it's fine."

Li Yu has a stick in his throat, no matter what he says, he can't change Leng Xiurong's mind.

What he saw in his eyes was determination and madness.

"Are you crazy? Why did you do this? I finally dragged you out of the chessboard, why did you jump back?"

Obviously as long as you don't participate in all this, there will be no danger.

Facing Li Yu's questioning, he didn't feel it was wrong.

"Well, yes, it's just a pawn anyway, it's just discarded and manipulated by the other hand."

"There is nothing to be merciful about, this is the fate of the chess pieces."

"Don't you want...to control your own destiny?"

"Who doesn't want to? But I can only control my own destiny if I do this? Everything is my choice."

Seeing Li Yu stunned and silent, Leng Xiurong had nothing to say, so she turned and left.

Unexpectedly, a hand behind him grabbed his hand.

"...If you go, you will die."

"so what?"

"I can't see a friend die and still be indifferent."

--friend.

Leng Xiurong slammed Li Yu's hand away, tilted her head, and looked down at the person on the bed.

"Hahaha...friend? Hahaha...that will really disappoint you, I don't want to be your friend."

With a bang, the door was slammed shut, and Li Yu's hand was suspended in the air, and he slowly lowered it down.

Looking at the red marks on his wrists, he was silent for a long time, but finally couldn't figure it out, and fell heavily back on the bed.

This question is so difficult.

Perhaps it was because he didn't have a good rest, Li Yu felt very tired, and even his mood seemed to be covered in a haze.

"In this world, there are indeed things that can't be done no matter how hard you try..."

He stared at the gauze on the top, sleepless all night.

I don't know if it's because I haven't had a good rest, or because these problems are squeezing my head and it's about to explode, and I have a splitting headache.

Leng Xiurong had already sat down beside her, when she saw her coming, her eyes didn't have any waves, she was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

Li Yu lowered his eyes and sat aside expressionlessly, silent.

The performance on the stage is about to start, the musical instruments are played, the magnificent atmosphere, the glamorous and sassy dancers step on the drums and step on the stage.

People are already tired of watching dance music that only twists their waists, but the dance music in front of them is different from the previous ones. It is heroic and heroic mixed with female stamina.

It is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off, and they applaud frequently.

The opening song was very successful, people were in high spirits, and the banquet was as lively as ever.

However, Li Yu was staring at the plate of pastries in front of him in a daze, and the excessively loud voices around made his already uncomfortable feeling even stronger.

The people around them also showed no expression at all, they stared at the lively program on stage, but their hearts seemed to hang in the air, slowly falling to the bottom.

People's sorrows and joys are not connected, they only feel that others are noisy.

Wonderful programs followed one after another, and people were still in high spirits.

Shen Haoran didn't care about the show on the stage. From the moment he entered the stage, Li Yu was depressed and expressionless, and he didn't know what happened last night.

Today's banquet was much more interesting than yesterday's. Leng Muqing looked at the dancers on the stage, and said to Leng Yuanhan next to him with great interest, "Who arranged this dance? It's very beautiful."

Leng Yuanhan was obviously also curious, the dance music in front of him was completely different from what he had seen before.

Confidence is mixed with infinite vitality, and the hope of the choreographer is everywhere.

People can't help but believe that there are still many beautiful things in this world, waiting for people to discover.

However, they didn't know the arranger. Listening to the high-pitched music at this time, thinking of the words they said, they felt extremely ironic.

At the end of a few songs, the music turned to ease, and the dancers left the stage to prepare for the next dance song.

Only soothing music is left on the stage, giving people a chance to breathe.

Taking advantage of this gap, the envoy of Mocang Kingdom asked curiously, "I wonder which adult carefully planned this banquet program? It is simply wonderful and amazing."

Seeing the envoys boasting, Empress Li and the Holy Majesty looked at each other, and their demeanor was full of the atmosphere of the world.

"It's the governor, Li Yu planned it all."

Hearing this, everyone focused their eyes on Li Yu who bowed his head and said nothing.

As if he noticed that he looked depressed, the Holy Majesty asked, "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"

Li Yu didn't hear it, and was still immersed in his own thoughts.

Seeing that Li Yu didn't answer, Shen Zirui, who was sitting beside him, put his hands on his back with some doubts, trying to pull him back from his own thoughts.

The hand that was put on suddenly overlapped with the hand that pushed him into the water in the dream.

Li Yu stood up abruptly, took a step back, nearly tripped, took a staggered step, and put his hands heavily on the table.

The wine glass swayed and fell from the table.

The vocal music stopped, and everyone looked at Li Yu in surprise.

Shen Zirui was taken aback, his outstretched hand hung in the air, "What are you doing? Suddenly..."

"What's wrong with Yu'er? Seeing that your complexion is not very good, what happened?"

"What's the matter? Why does the young master suddenly look frightened——"

The surrounding voices were low and noisy.

Shen Haoran frowned, his eyes as light as autumn waters were full of worry.

Li Yu realized that he had caused trouble, but there was a sense of indifference in a trance, his blank mind could not react at all, he could only sit down slowly, he didn't even bother to explain.

"Yu'er, is the Holy Majesty asking you something?" An angry voice sounded from beside him.

Only then did Li Yu come to his senses, "It's okay, thank you for your concern, it's just... tired, I didn't sleep well last night, it's just a little cold."

"The governor has devoted himself to preparing for this banquet, and he has forgotten to sleep and eat. It is Dongyao Kingdom's blessing to be able to win this good minister."

Hearing the praise from the envoys of the Mocang Kingdom, the Holy Majesty couldn't help but be delighted, and suddenly recalled the birthday ceremony of the Mocang Kingdom last night, and couldn't help but say, "Yu'er also worked hard at this banquet, the weather is getting colder, and winter is coming, so be careful to accept Cold is good, among the birthday presents given by Mocang Kingdom yesterday, there is a fox fur coat, and I will give it to you."

In the original novel, it was because Li Qingnuo defeated the prestige of the Western Shu Kingdom in the competition that the Holy One bestowed him with a fox fur coat.

Finally... cut off the plot.

"Thank you, Yuer, for the reward." Li Yu said lightly, "Let someone send him to the Prime Minister's Mansion first."

"I heard that this fox fur jacket is made of the skin of a sky fox. Sky foxes are extremely rare. I wonder if I can open it up first?" Someone around suggested.

I wanted to send it back to the prime minister's mansion, and go back at night to deal with the gray wolf inside, but I was asked to open it in public.

Everything is developing like the original plot.

Li Yu stepped forward slowly, watching the palace servants carefully carry the exquisite wooden box and place it on the stage.

The exquisite wood carving is not locked, and the gray wolf that may jump out at any time is quietly staying inside.

Seeing that Li Yu didn't open it, everyone urged them strangely, "What's wrong?"

"Yu'er, why haven't you opened it yet?"

"Before that—" Li Yu looked at His Highness Dar, the sixth prince of Mocang Kingdom who had been watching coldly, and asked softly, "Do you want the gray wolf inside, His Highness Dar?"

gray wolf?Everyone looked at each other, isn't there a fox fur jacket inside?How could there be gray wolves.

Dahl obviously didn't know why Li Yu said that, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"what?"

Hearing this, Shen Haoran widened his eyes worriedly, and motioned Feng Ya to come forward.

Feng Ya nodded, stepped forward quickly, stood beside Li Yu, with his right hand on the dagger at his waist.

"Your Highness' gray wolf seems to have lost its way and ran in." Li Yu said, slowly closing the lock tightly, "Do you want more, Your Highness?"

When the envoys of Mocang Kingdom heard it, they thought that Li Yu was slandering them with wrong intentions, and they retorted excitedly.

"The governor means that we put the gray wolf inside on purpose, are we doing something wrong?"

"If you don't want to accept the gift! You can refuse it, there is no need to slander Mo Cang Kingdom like this!"

Seeing that they didn't believe it, Li Yu lightly kicked the wooden box with his foot.

The wolf inside was imprisoned for a day and was already hungry. Li Yu kicked him, frightened him, and struggled against the wooden box, trying to get out.

The wooden box shook violently.

In an instant, the audience was silent, staring at the shaking wooden box in astonishment.

There are living things inside!
