Isn't there a lot of trouble here? Yi Hua had suddenly become five years older now.
The problem is ... In terms of face alone Liu Xingsheng was already very similar to Consort Qian. They are like melons divided in two by the same part. If you want to see a female, then look at Consort Qian. If you want to see a man, then look at Liu Xingsheng.
It was already very obvious since they were both twins.
"In the days after the new King Li Shen ascended the throne, the improvement of the Li Kingdom was quite long and the main improvement was to cure Stone Disease. And, that's where Consort Qian is," explained Ling Xiao who seemed to remember.
However, Ling Xiao was quite old, and it was as if he was in the line of history. Just like the grandparents who tell the past to their grandchildren.
"It was amazing when a girl whose identity was unknown from where could make a cure for the disease. He came out of nowhere, and said he was just a passerby who accidentally passed by. Back then Consort Qian was only alone, how could she walk the streets of the chaotic kingdom?" continued Ling Xiao who was actually an elder in the Li Kingdom.
Ling Xiao looked to be remembering. Perhaps in the past Ling Xiao had not really left the Li Kingdom just like that. After all, out of all the strangeness of the story, it was even stranger if there was an amazingly beautiful girl walking around in the prone kingdom. A kingdom that has not had a strong guard. Clearly the ruined Li Kingdom was not a tourist spot!
"However, at that time the inhabitants of the Li Kingdom were still very distrustful of the kingdom. Even then they planned to kill King Li Shen, and Consort Qian ..." Ling Xiao seemed to stop talking for a moment.
It seemed like this man knew more than Yi Hua thought.
Huan Ran stared fixedly at Ling Xiao, "How did you know that Concubine Qian was alone then?" huan Ran asked as he recalled that Ling Xiao could tell this with great confidence.
That meant Ling Xiao had seen Consort Qian in her maiden days. Moreover, the arrival of Consort Qian who was alone. Huan Ran had only become Prime Minister after King Li Shen had already married Consort Qian. There is also a 'story' that there will be a second Prime Minister. So even though the form of the Prime Minister Candidate has not seen Huan Ran, but he heard the story. That was why this Consort Qian had never been heard of by Huan Ran.
Ling Xiao suddenly shrugged his shoulders. "They had only seen me once, and by then Consort Qian was seriously injured. Back then the kingdom did not have a great healer either, and only Consort Qian could. But the one who was injured was Consort Qian, that was why the man brought the girl he loved here."
Moment ...
It was not difficult to guess who the 'man was' and those who were called by Ling Xiao. It was of course King Li Shen, and it meant that his younger brother in his previous life knew of Ling Xiao's whereabouts. Even entrusting Ling Xiao to treat Concubine Qian who could somehow first get hurt.
This is a past unknown to many. It seemed like the story of Li Shen and Consort Qian was very long before reaching a period of calm like this. Yet this also could not be called calm, even when Consort Qian was only a Concubine and King Li Shen was not her own. She was Li Shen's first love.
"The bottom line is that the girl has attracted King Li Shen's heart and she was married by King Li Shen first on the strange terms of Consort Qian." Ling Xiao's story finished up there. As if waiting for someone to ask.
Of course there are questions! There's too much awkwardness here. Even this rotten Xiao did not know about this.
"HuaHua, you know that my knowledge only comes from the original Yi Hua. How old do you think Yi Hua was then? He was still a child who often ran around like a cow!" refute Xiao who does not like to be blamed.
Well that's true.
"What do you mean by weird terms?" yi Hua asked who did not care about Xiao's defense.
Huan Ran continued, "Concubine Qian is willing to belong to King Li Shen. However Consort Qian did not wish to become Empress. Though His Majesty doesn't want to take any more concubines."
Eh? All of this was not because of Li Shen who was the monitor lizard, but because of Consort Qian who wanted it?
What the fuck?
Usually in the Royal harem system, all women belonging to the King scramble to become Empresses. Even until their lives fall. They also do not hesitate to kill each other. However, Consort Qian did not even want to become Empress. Though the reason why until now there was no Royal Empress Li was probably because of Consort Qian.
Believe me, no one understands this woman.
Yi Hua looked at Huan Ran, "When did you become Prime Minister, where was Prime Minister Liu back then?"
Thas right. Wasn't the first to become Prime Minister Huan Ran? Later, Liu Xingsheng was appointed Prime Minister with a back lane as a complement. Why the back lane?
Without wind without rain, there is a rainbow. Without any struggle or ability, Liu Xingsheng was appointed the leftist Prime Minister. All guessed it was because of the political play of Consort Qian licking at King Li Shen. Until his useless sister became one of the milestones of the power of the Second Prime Minister system.
"At that time Liu Xingsheng came to the Li Kingdom. Many had said that Liu Xingsheng had just recovered from illness. But if it wasn't Liu Xingsheng who was appointed as the left Prime Minister, I wouldn't have approved the Second Prime Minister's system either" Huan Ran replied.
More than anything ...
Liu Xingsheng did look useless, but believe me Liu Xingsheng brought people together unintentionally. Like Huan Ran who was once foreign to the Li Kingdom, and now Huan Ran shows great loyalty. So was Yi Hua, who was even the first time, Liu Xingsheng was also the one who made Yi Hua interfere more in the affairs of the Kingdom.
The real kingdom not only needs great people, but people who can unite the thoughts of others.
"Now ... Let's think about recovering from this pain" Ling Xiao said suddenly.
Perhaps it was the key to finding Liu Xingsheng's current illness.
"Where did Prime Minister Liu and Consort Qian live before coming to the Li Kingdom?" yi Hua asked suddenly.
However, Xiao who could usually be the source of information also said nothing. It seemed like Liu Xingsheng's past was one of the many secrets that existed in the Li Kingdom. Even Huan Ran just shook his head.
And, didn't Huan Ran never say anything about her either?
Yi Hua only realized if there was the most mysterious, then it was the life story of the Second Prime Minister of the Li Kingdom?
This could be a long story titled "What's up with the Two Prime Ministers?" or "Secret Secret Prime Minister". It could also be "The Prime Minister's Second Daily Record".
"From all these thoughts, how can you think about the title of the story?" xiao asked who was increasingly amazed by Yi Hua's thought.
Huan Ran realized that the two people in front of him were waiting for him to talk. After all if anyone was said to be closest to Liu Xingsheng, then it was Huan Ran.
"Liu Xingsheng once spoke to me about his former destroyed home kingdom. But he never explained more about it. He was like a child fleeing from the war in his kingdom" explained Huan Ran who also looked confused.
It's a little ironic.
When you say that 'this is my best friend' or 'I am closest to him', but in fact we know nothing about him.
"But Liu Xingsheng was afraid of the sea and did not want to come to a region close to the sea" Huan Ran said suddenly.
Oh yea.
Yi Hua suddenly recalled that Liu Xingsheng had asked him to help. Didn't Liu Xingsheng once force Yi Hua to go along on the journey because they were about to cross the Dust Valley? It was the first time Yi Hua had come to the Dust Valley.
And if you want to go to the city next to the Valley of Dust, you don't have to search for death by crossing the Valley of Dust. There are other avenues, which tend to be crowded. That is, using a boat to cross over to the next town.
Liu Xingsheng, however, insisted on passing overland rather than using waterways.
He simply did not want to conclude this was too close to the White Skull anymore. From all their talk, it was unexpected that it would lead to the inhabitants of the ocean again. This was like Liu Xingsheng dodging from the ocean, and Bao Jiazhen never being seen on land.
What the fuck?
Huan Ran sighed. "That's the reason, but there must be another reason, right?"
More than anything ... If you don't spoil Liu Xingsheng, then you will definitely force by sea, won't you?
But Huan Ran was willing to be taken by Liu Xingsheng to travel the Dust Valley.
Alright. Already here, what can they conclude?
"Maybe this man was indeed tied up by the White Skull. For such a deep sign it is usually given if a person is 'always' close together. Like you 'scented' like that brat, the sign is that you meet him often, " Ling Xiao said as he pointed at Yi Hua.
What does it mean I smell like a bad boy ... Moment ... He means this Hua Yifeng?
Suddenly Yi Hua kissed herself to look for Hua Yifeng's scent. However, he did not understand Ling Xiao's intentions. In the end, Ling Xiao had no intention of saying anything about these scents. The man continued on in other things.
"I think the White Skull has been around this Prime Minister all along. Little by little he bound his soul, and at the right moment, he locked the Prime Minister's consciousness into getting lost in the illusions of the White Skull world" Ling Xiao explained.
More than anything, they returned at the beginning of the conversation. Bao Jiazhen seemed to always be around them, and the funny thing was that no one noticed.
"Whatever the grudge between Liu Xingsheng and this White Skull may be, we cannot eliminate it. It is a past that cannot be changed, even if we want to. Now is how to release Liu Xingsheng's soul from the shackles of the White Skull" Yi Hua said quickly.
Who knew Liu Xingsheng's time limit?
SRETT!
HAP!
Yi Hua suddenly caught something that Ling Xiao threw at him. It was a strange silver necklace, with bird-shaped gems ... A phoenix?
"I've heard that the Underground Kingdom, Phoenix, has a mirror image. It was a legendary object made by a Taoist priest who had already reached the level of immortality. He said in this mirror we can see our own form in accordance with what we do in the world" Ling Xiao said as he sat himself back in the chair.
And, Liu Xingsheng now closed his eyes quietly and in silence.
"Phoenix Kingdom?" asked Yi Hua weakly.
Xiao explained. "It was the Black Kingdom. His presence is unofficial and recognized by other kingdoms. Just recently their names were heard, especially their famous auction house."
Auction house? Was this the same as the auction house in Hua Yifeng's Cloud Palace?
Where can you trade something instead of money? More so if you want to be rich, then you can give a collision. It was something that existed in Hua Yifeng's Ghost Kingdom, in Hua Mountain.
"No, HuaHua. The owner was a human, and they auctioned off legendary items that were expensive. Like famous and rare medicines," Xiao explained again. Luckily this time Xiao was more descriptive.
Huan Ran nodded his head at Ling Xiao. "We'll be there."
"Well, there you will see a stick of lidi will be worth one palace" Ling Xiao explained suddenly.
It's auction. Specially where the rich spend their money to collect. This is called the Black Kingdom. The owner must be very good at taking advantage of the situation.
"There is a kingdom that is not a kingdom. It was actually just a small town without law. Not bound by any laws and norms. Also, no kingdom would dare to subjugate this territory. So that they also do not submit to a certain Kingdom. So even if you are this Prime Minister or anyone else, you have no effort to have something without paying," Ling Xiao explained.
However, even if you are rich and have power in your own cage, it is not necessarily in someone else's cage.
And, the problem was that they left the Li Kingdom in a cashless state. Even buying ox carts they borrowed General Wei's money.
SRETT!
Huan Ran suddenly pulled out a black gem. It was a rare gem that was buried for so long in the ground. One of the treasures of the Li Kingdom, and who would have thought if Huan Ran had one.
Hey, isn't this gem so rare? There is only one in this world!
"This is the gift that King Li Shen gave me when I became Prime Minister" explained Huan Ran who immediately obscured Yi Hua's prejudice.
Understandably Yi Hua is sometimes more often bad thoughts than good ones.
"Yet ....Seer Ling. Only certain people had necklaces with these Phoenix bird jewels. Even in the Li Kingdom only His Majesty King Li Shen had one," Huan Ran continued while staring at the Phoenix jewel necklace that was in Yi Hua's hands.
It seemed like this owner of the Phoenix Kingdom was only targeting people who had money and power. Well, obviously ... Poor people will not throw their money for expensive things there. Want to eat just hard, why should buy something that is 'jewelry' only.
"The owner of Mount Hua also has it" Ling Xiao said.
More than anything Yi Hua remembered that this Hua Yifeng was a King as well. Hua Yifeng had a luxurious palace and a pile of gold, as well as his auctioning venture on Mount Hua. It was not strange that Hua Yifeng would be taking part in this auction.
Xiao teased Yi Hua, "Makanya, if you want to rise from a lowly Oracle to the wife of the wealthy owner of Mount Hua, immediately stick to Hua Yifeng. Pretty legacy."
This damn system ...But yahh, interesting too.
Sometimes Yi Hua also judged materially.
