This fox fairy is too inhuman

Chapter 118 is the same substitute (first update, please vote for me)
"Li Fengyao, don't stay here anymore and be an eyesore."

"With you here, the wine is not good to drink."

After Li Qiushui finished speaking, the entire Imperial Garden fell into an eerie silence.

Li Qiushui thought about it for himself, acting like he didn't care at all, completely ignoring the existence of the second prince.

Li Fengyao, who was insulted, didn't make a fuss because of breaking his defense, but narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Qiushui's side face carefully.

As the third person present, Ren Yidao was more excited than Li Fengyao.

Well, far more excited than him.

("Let's fight! Let's fight! You coward! Do it! Pull her hair out!")
("Don't wait! Let's do it! Second Battalion Commander!")
The little white fox in the corner scratched the ground angrily, wishing he could push Li Fengyao forward and make him a brave man.

It is a pity.

Until the end, Li Fengyao didn't hear his inner calling.

Li Fengyao closed his narrowed eyes and exhaled slightly.

When he opened his eyes again, his expression returned to normal.

No...even more perfect than before.

The people on Mo are like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.

Li Fengyao is like a gentleman who is so perfect that it is unreal.

It's like wearing a mask that can't be angry at all, and foreign objects don't affect his mood.

There was some distress in his smile, but more of it was... pampering that made Ren Yidao's skin crawl.

Li Fengyao shook his head with emotion, and sighed:
"However, since you have misunderstood me, no matter how much I say now, it will be of no use."

At this moment, in Ren Yidao's eyes, Li Fengyao was like a powerful actor who had been honing his acting skills for many years and performing to his heart's content on the stage.

Even if there is only one audience, he is performing perfectly.

You clearly know that none of this is real, it's all acting.

However, as long as you see his gentle eyes showing true feelings, you will still start to believe it unconsciously.

My heart will be shaken, what if what he said is true?
This guy doesn't look like he's acting.

And as long as there is a little wavering in your heart, his purpose has been achieved.

From this point of view alone, Li Fengyao's performance and Ren Yidao's previous performance have similar purposes.

All to leave a gap in Li Qiushui's strong mind for the next breakthrough.

Baihu tilted his head, thinking about the details that Li Fengyao showed.

Actor, speaker, excellent appearance, excellent background, excellent reputation in the eyes of the world...

Why do these things feel so familiar?
"It seems that they are the same substitutes."

Blinking, Ren Yidao couldn't help sighing.

"Always imitated, never surpassed."

Li Fengyao was performing, but whether it was intentional or not, Li Qiushui never met Li Fengyao's eyes.

Just think about it yourself, turn a deaf ear, and don't respond at all.

Seeing this situation, Li Fengyao finally stopped his one-man show, and sighed twice:
"Jiumei, I'm leaving. If you change your mind in the future, you can tell me anytime."

"I will always await your alliance."

"As long as you and I work together, the position of Prime Minister is absolutely guaranteed."

Looking deeply at Li Qiushui in the pavilion, he persuaded him affectionately for the last time:
"It doesn't matter if the world doesn't understand me, but I hope you can understand me. Everything I do for my brother is for the people of the world."

"This position of prime minister must not be handed over to a guy with unknown origins, otherwise... the world will be in chaos, and everyone will be in fire and water!"

"The only mistake I made was that I couldn't tell the world my sincerity, let alone convince you."

"This is the biggest regret of my life."

Seeing that Li Qiushui still didn't respond, Li Fengyao stopped talking and immediately turned around and left.

The deep sadness on his face disappeared the moment he turned around, returning to his usual gentle smile, with a calm look in his eyes.

With steady steps and the same distance between each step, he walked out of the Imperial Garden with his head held high.

"...Li Qiushui, why is she so hostile to me? Which detail was wrong before?"

Walking slowly, a lot of thoughts flashed through Li Fengyao's mind.

"She mentioned Shi Xue, but didn't that happen almost ten years ago? Did she remember it until now?"

"Although the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers has a dual-cultivation and replenishing technique, as long as Shi Xue clearly refuses, who dares to force her to practice it?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Fengyao still gave up this idea.

Li Qiushui's city is no lower than his own, this flimsy reason cannot be the real reason.

The Ninth Princess of Beigan, who was able to decisively behead the Song family and confiscate their property, could not be someone who would act out of anger for such a childish reason.

To save others by oneself, let alone Li Fengyao who invited Shi Xue to join the religion, even if he invited her Li Qiushui, what would happen?

If you don't want to, just refuse it directly, why make it so stiff?

"So, this should be just an excuse for her to prevaricate me, and the real reason should be something else."

"What could it be? Where did I get exposed...huh?"

Thinking like this, Li Fengyao paused and looked at his feet.

"...hairpin?"

Li Fengyao frowned slightly, and leaned over to pick up the jewelry at his feet.

"Whose will it be? The maid's? Or the imperial father's concubine?"

There are no details on the hairpin that can prove the identity, and the identity of the owner cannot be seen from the style.

"I seem to have seen this style somewhere..."

If Li Fengyao could have a vague impression, then the owner of this hairpin could not be an ordinary palace maid.

So under what circumstances would the hairpin be left here?

The hairpin is not an ordinary accessory. It doesn't feel like it falls off. Once it falls, the whole hair will spread out.

It's impossible not to notice.

Unless, that person did something here that would make his hair loose...

Da da……

Li Fengyao, who was thinking, heard footsteps approaching and subconsciously turned over his hairpin and put it away.

This is the royal garden of the harem, and it is already a special case that he, the second prince, can come and go at will.

If someone saw him holding a woman's hairpin in his hand, things would be very bad.

Which concubine's head did you pick this off from?

Or, which concubine are you planning to give it to?
Once asked, no matter what the situation is, it is quite bad for him.

The less trouble, the better.

Accompanying a prince is like accompanying a tiger. This is the same for a prince like him, and it is even more dangerous.

If Li Long is dissatisfied with him, the battle for the throne will be more difficult and will only increase the trouble.

"Ah, Your Highness!"

"Well, you worked hard."

Smiling and nodding to the maid carrying the jug, Li Fengyao left the imperial garden with a smile.

"However, there is still one doubtful point in this matter..."

"Who is Li Qiushui's candidate?"
