Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
The New Prime Minister

Then, everything just passed.

Like the rain and the wind that comes, everything will subside if the sun reappears. Everything looked fine as Yi Hua returned to the City Center. But this fine situation somehow became a pain of its own.

There's silence there.

As Yi Hua left, he was with Huan Ran and Liu Xingsheng.

And he came back alone.

As Li Shen went to look for Liu Xingsheng, he was with Liu Xinqian, Consort Qian.

And Li Shen returned alone.

The sadness seemed ordinary, but no words could express it. Even King Li Shen himself. This happened similarly, and people began to believe that the death curse of the Li Royal Family was on its way.

Indeed, long ago ... Only Li Shen remained in the Royal Family. Now the blood that bears Li's blood is rarer than the number of flying cows. Many say that Li Wei's curse on the Li Kingdom still continues.

Strange rumors spread and Yi Hua was a little unconcerned about the rumors.

That day ...

Yi Hua stood behind the other Diviners. Stand in his formal white clothes to pray. Giving a final salute and prayer to Liu Xinqian.

He could only stare at Consort Qian's chest which felt luxurious but quiet.

The funeral of the Honor Concubine, Liu Xinqian passed by with many tears. The woman was loved as a flower belonging to the Li Kingdom. Although no one knows if flowers do not always smell good. So did Liu Xinqian.

But is it appropriate for someone like Yi Hua to be decisive about someone's good or bad?

It was not only Yi Hua. No one else deserves to measure the good that is made and the bad that is forged by others. It is all between that person and the Creator.

No one knows for sure the cause of death of Consort Qian. It's just that a story from the City Center collides by word of mouth. Of course usually the royal family's life is always dangerous at the hands of the enemy. That's what they believe.

"Mother ..."

Yi Hua turned to look at the small figure that Yi Hua was actually familiar with. It was the only son of Li Shen, the Prince of Li Quon. If sorted from the bloodline, only Li Shen and Li Quon were left from Li.

Li Quon was not the son Consort Qian had born. Because of the sad fact that the woman could not give offspring to the King. Li Quon was the son of Consort Wen, but the little man was closer to Consort Qian.

On this day of the funeral Yi Hua saw the bright faces of Consort Wen and several other Consorts. Of course they were happy because of the competition among the beauties. Do you need to smile on the day of someone else's funeral?

Again Yi Hua's gaze was fixed on the small back of Li Quon who was paying his last respects to Consort Qian.

Li Quon's small back reminded Yi Hua of little Li Shen. But it was little Li Shen that Yi Hua now saw standing firmly in front of Consort Qian's resting chest.

Yi Hua spread a paper containing prayers in the air. "Peace there, Blessed Consort Qian," whispered Yi Hua weakly.

Yi Hua smiled faintly with a single tear he quietly let out. Now they bowed their heads to the passing King Li Shen to return to the palace. Bringing sadness that Yi Hua could not describe. Even so, Li Shen's face remained calm to maintain firmness.

The one that does not let go.

What remains reaps everything.

For now, Yi Hua still believed that Liu Xingsheng was still alive.

***

Both seats of the Royal Premier Li were empty.

Of course this is a very serious problem. Since the beginning of the Two Prime Ministers system was made because the King as the highest milestone of power is considered weak. Therefore, the system of the Two Prime Ministers is running.

Now they lost not one, but two.

The news of Liu Xinqian's death became the new material for the determinant of Liu Xingsheng's disappearance. Many say that Liu Xingsheng was unable to return to the Li Kingdom when he saw the death of his brother. Some say that Liu Xingsheng is also dead, because of his illness.

Liu Xingsheng and Liu Xinqian were twins. So some believe if they were born both, then they died also both.

Huan Ran is rumored to have fled with women from the enemy kingdom. It was caused by some people who claimed to see Huan Ran walking with a girl. Well, actually Yi Hua knew who these people meant.

It was the time when Huan Ran had taken Liu Xingsheng's run from the palace.

Huan Ran covered Liu Xingsheng's head with a head covering that a girl would normally use. I don't know why it even became the latest news for the authors. And ... Yi Hua didn't really care to straighten it out.

Yi Hua returned as usual.

Working in the clairvoyant room more and more people are unemployed.

The problem since the outbreak of the story was that the Oracle Ling Xiao had misjudged. The people of the Li Kingdom already did not believe so much in the Royal Oracle. Just waiting for the time when these fortune tellers switched jobs to become painters just like Ling Xiao did.

At least Yi Hua only needed to find another job later. Or Xiao had once suggested that Yi Hua return to the Lower Kingdom to live with Shi Heng, his father in this world. Then he can become an only child!

But, ...

"I want to make my own money" Yi Hua said with full motivation.

Xiao replied in a disdainful voice. "Say you're afraid of getting caught by Shi Heng. Although it looked somewhat useless, but Shi Heng was a clairvoyant."

Which means Xiao has spiritual abilities.

Then, where is Hua Yifeng?

Yi Hua could not find the man after his fight with Bao Jiazhen.

"It's possible that he's looking for another woman who is more full than you who often binds your own chest" Xiao sneered without any intention of holding back his own words.

Yi Hua sighed. "Did I just open my disguise? So you know Xiao how enchanting I am! But ... Work in the Kingdom is very difficult for a girl."

Yeah ... The world in Yi Hua's time of living women was seen as a complementary beauty. If Yi Hua stopped pretending it was like creating a new problem. What if Yi Hua was mistaken for having the intent while disguised as a man?

"G ... What if you're just being a comfort girl?" the somewhat extreme Xiao proposal.

"If you had a mouth, maybe I'd ask the cow to kiss your lips!" said the irritated Yi Hua. He knew that Xiao was joking. But he did not expect that Xiao was so happy with him.

Today Yi Hua was lying on the slum floor of his residence. She was discussing with Xiao about her future. Unfortunately, the discussion was not so useful.

"Or ... You just go to Hua Yifeng. Then, you confessed to conceiving her child. Later you use a cloth pad on your stomach. You know not if Hua Yifeng is also rich," Xiao said again. I don't know where Xiao's cunning brain can be that way.

Yi Hua suddenly grew even more irritated. "In your eyes my honor is as great as what, Xiao?"

"Do you have any?" asked Xiao without a heart.

This creature must be the enemy of every people!

Yi Hua was silent. At least he still has a talking partner this time.

Yi Hua spoke again, "Xiao, what are you? Are you leaving when my mission succeeds? Or ... Actually the purpose of the Xiao System is not finished yet?"

Xiao said slowly. "Is that important? I'll leave when it's all over."

Looky. Isn't Xiao always full of secrets?

Why did Xiao act as if they were now underworked? But on the one hand Xiao always said that everything was not finished. What was Yi Hua looking for this time?

"What exactly is the purpose of this Xiao System, Xiao?" yi Hua asked slowly.

This question from the very beginning Yi Hua asked inside her head.

"Everything always has a purpose, whether it be good or bad. You only have two choices. Enjoy the second chance of life well, or find out the reason why you were reborn as Yi Hua" Xiao said casually.

"Then, once this intended goal has been achieved will you still be around?" yi Hua asked who was starting to dislike about the parting.

Somehow the surrounding people came and went without Yi Hua being able to prevent.

"Of course."

What is that called an answer? If so, then Yi Hua would curse all such uninformative answers.

BRAKK!!!

Yi Hua was startled by that loud buzzing sound. This made Yi Hua quickly fix her clothes. Usually Yi Hua rarely used this kind of layer clothing. They only use it when they are at home.

Therefore, Yi Hua snatched his outer robe.

"Yi Hua, Your Majesty is calling you to the High Court."

From that voice Yi Hua could get to know who was behind the door. Of course it was General Wei Qionglin, the younger brother of Wei Wuxie.

Given that he realized that Wei Qionglin did not know that his brother was still alive.

More important than anything ... Why was Yi Hua summoned to the High Court?

***

When Yi Hua came to the High Court, the other officials were already there. Apparently before Yi Hua was summoned, they had already held a meeting first. Yi Hua could only straighten his head as much as possible. If he looks left or right, he is wrong.

Obviously it did not fit the criteria of Yi Hua who was always haughty and somewhat reserved.

After standing right in the middle of the hall. It stands in the middle of the Government Office. In front of them was King Li Shen who looked neat for a man who had lost his life companion. However, it was not so strange as a King had to remain firm before the High Officials.

"Welfare accompanies His Majesty King Li. May Your Majesty live a long life," Yi Hua said greeting with a typical male style.

King Li Shen only nodded. Of course Yi Hua did not see it because the clairvoyant still lowered his head.

One of the officials opened the conversation. "Your Majesty, why bring in the Oracle of Yi?" ask the official who made it possible for Yi Hua to know. If in fact other officials also do not understand why a fortune teller or better known as a psychic is called.

"The fortuneteller Yi was instrumental in resolving various matters in the Li Kingdom." This time the one who spoke was not King Li, but Wang Zeming.

The Royal Counselor was old enough that he was rarely seen outside the royal palace. Even so, Yi Hua respected him. After all in his previous life, Wang Zeming was the one who trained Yi Hua a lot.

However as Yi Hua recalled, Wang Zeming and Ling Xiao were probably important people who had 'existed' a long time ago. Even when Yi Hua was a child, Wang Zeming and Ling Xiao were already adults guiding them.

It's just ...

It was still a question, why did Wang Zeming look like the father of Ling Xiao compared to his old co-worker?

Yi Hua's daydream came to a halt when he heard King Li Shen's words.

"... For all the services and prowess of Oracle Yi during this time, she was entitled to fill the Prime Minister's seat."

HUH UH?

Yi Hua who had forgotten the position involuntarily raised his head. Just to stare in disbelief at Li Shen. Although in the end Yi Hua had to kneel down to express his opinion.

Plus the entire High Court hall became crowded. This was even more bustling than the demon market that Yi Hua had visited on Mount Hua. More importantly. How could the moon fall right on his head?

Xiao argued. "I just feel sorry for this Li Kingdom who will have a Prime Minister like you. Are you going to raise taxes, HuaHua? Remember that dying is all you can't take."

Very useful advice.

One of the officers spoke up. Of course they could not accept that Yi Hua, who was only half their age, became a Prime Minister. Plus ... Remember a few months ago they were still trying Yi Hua as a fake fortune teller?

"Your Majesty, please think about this better. More trustworthy Senior Officials. Servant is afraid that if Astrologer Yi becomes Prime Minister, more and more people will doubt His Majesty's wisdom" Yi Hua said. It was just that he had seen the surname of this man within the noble ranks in the Li Kingdom.

Yi Hua could not blame the man's opinion. However, every decision of a king always has an impact on his society. Everyone's opinion needs to be heard.

Wang Zeming asked for time to talk. "According to the faithfulness and help of the Diviner Yi, he looks able to take this place. If it wasn't for Seer Yi, then Prince Li Quon wouldn't be as healthy as he is now."

Well, this makes sense.

Yet the Yi Hua that was being talked about at the moment still had a lot of things swirling around in his head.

The middle official spoke in a somewhat angry tone. "How can this decision be judged fair? The fortuneteller Yi did not even have a prominent ability. If we had him as Prime Minister, maybe we would have a lot of dissidents who disagree. The people may not believe in the Kingdom anymore."

Wei Qionglin. "Or did Zhang's official just learn from himself? How about your inability to cope with your nephew in the previous case?" asked Wei Qionglin who quipped.

After all because of Zhang Yuwen's history of becoming a demon, and so had the matter of the bride missing earlier already become a black streak for the Zhang family. That was why Zhang Yuwen became so hated by his own family.

"Does the Wei Family want to go back to showing its fangs? I think it is not only Zhang Yuwen who betrayed the Kingdom. Wasn't the late General Wei Wuxie killed defending the Black Princess!?" reply to Zhang's Office.

In this era, Zhang and Wei did not look friendly.

"In addition, what you know that is often not in the City Center. General Wei's troops were indeed meritorious at the Border, but that didn't mean that they could arrange the High Court at will!" reply Other officials who seemed to be in the section who disagreed with Yi Hua's appointment as Prime Minister.

Yi Hua's head felt dizzy from moving to and fro. Follow me to see who is talking. Suddenly Yi Hua was irritated. Especially now that he is talking about.

Aye! I know how weak and unreliable Yi Hua is. But do they remember not if I was still here? If you want to be humble, don't be so honest!

"It doesn't mean I don't understand how much you've neglected a lot of work. If not for the discretion of Prime Minister Liu, perhaps Prime Minister Huan would have expelled you from the ranks of the High Court. Did you forget that Official Zhang had also once asked for luck on the Devils of Destruction?!" asked Wei Qionglin who was carried away by the situation.

"Don't say something you can't prove, General Wei!" snapped Zhang's office in wrath.

Wang Zeming sighed. "Take your attitude in front of His Majesty!"

However, Yi Hua had been to Hua Yifeng's ghost kingdom. At Hua Yifeng's place of business, he gave information and all fortune to the one who asked. As long as the payment is satisfactory, then you can get abundant wealth there. But yeah ... It certainly does not go along the way of the Gods.

And ... Yi Hua also knew that some officials who were here had also visited Hua Yifeng's business place. Sure was! That place is where you can do the dirty without fear of following the rules.

Yi Hua remembered that Hua Yifeng once said. If the place is indeed very bad judgment. However, Hua Yifeng made an open opinion for Yi Hua.

"Then, does Yi Hua think that if it wasn't me who runs the Ghost Kingdom then it would be better? The place is not good of course, but if I think it's worse if I don't master it. Because ... You need power, Yi Hua," Hua Yifeng said.

Yeah ... That was what was raging on Yi Hua's head now.

General Wei, yeah ... Wei Qionglin, the younger brother of his best friend. Or now this Wei Qionglin could also be called a close associate of Yi Hua. This guy's been downtown lately. So that when this meeting, Wei Qionglin was present. His face reminded Yi Hua of Wei Wuxie. Even in a more powerful version.

Wei Wuxie tends to have a calm and warm face.

"Your Majesty, please listen to my servant's opinion" Wei Qionglin said.

King Li Shen gave a gesture for Wei Qionglin to continue his words.

"Chief Yi is indeed very meritorious to solve every problem in this Kingdom. Even thanks to Oracle Yi the ancestors of the Wei family had regained their composure in their final resting place," Wei Qionglin said.

Everyone believed that Wei Qionglin was in Yi Hua's stronghold.

However, Wei Qionglin had an open mind.

"But everyone has advantages in their own field. Not that someone is able to complete missions outside, then he can become Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is a different thing from ordinary fighters Your Majesty," Wei Qionglin said, making Yi Hua cry.

Yi Hua wanted to refuse, but did not know how to speak.

It's like you have a playmate, but that doesn't mean you can call your friend a co-worker. Because those two things are different things. Li Shen probably tended to think that he did not have many trustworthy people.

Although Huan Ran or Bao Jiazhen was only pretending, but his pretence was not kidding. He works really well. So was Liu Xingsheng, though not so guaranteeing. However, if Huan Ran was so strict or cruel, then Liu Xingsheng had a more gentle way.

It was not just anyone who could be chosen to occupy this position.

However, Yi Hua thought of one name that could fill this position.

One of the officials excitedly spoke. Maybe he has the confidence to be appointed in this position. As Yi Hua recalled, this man was still a family with one of King Li's concubines.

"Your Majesty, please think of the more deserving people in this post. There are still a lot of great people to consider" said this official who opened his opinion to flatter himself.

"Your Majesty, I have an opinion that might be heard," Yi Hua said suddenly.

This makes the whole room quiet. Because, the party being discussed just spoke up.

"Hamba felt very blessed when His Majesty had faith in the servant. However, I cannot accept this position" replied Yi Hua who invited various reactions.

Wang Zeming looked at Yi Hua wisely. "Everyone can learn, my son. If what you're afraid of is experience, then you can learn from scratch."

But, ...

"But I have someone who may be worthy of this office. He is someone who might have His Majesty seen his abilities," Yi Hua said as he lowered his head to pay his respects.

He did not know how Li Shen was expression. But as her brother in his previous life, Yi Hua should have made sure Li Shen was prosperous in his leadership. That was what Yi Hua promised. No ... That was what Li Wei promised Empress Jiang Ning, her mother.

He will take care of Li Shen.

Yi Hua straightened his head. "There is someone who has the ability. Yeah ... Although it is a bit bad. But as Counselor Wang said, everyone has the right to learn."

Zhang's office grumbled softly. "If the soothsayer Yi meant Ling Xiao, it would be like bringing disaster home. That fortune-teller with all his predictions once brought about destruction in the Li Kingdom."

It seemed like the talented person in the Zhang Family only stopped at Zhang Yuwen. The rest were just people who carried on the name 'Zhang', but his loyalty was not as strong as Zhang Yuwen.

However ...

Yi Hua would make sure King Li Shen had trusted people by his side.

"He's surnamed Yue, his name is 'Yan'. He was a wanderer, but he had the ability. Of course His Majesty himself already knows what kind of ability he is. Plus ... Yue Yan was the one who managed to kill Blind Priest Shen Qibo," Yi Hua explained confidently.

With Yue Yan's 'eyes', they could see the truth of what a human could hide. Although it was still limited and not as great as Shen Qibo, but Yue Yan inherited that ability from Shen Qibo.

Shen Qibo was a hero figure judged as an opponent by the Li Kingdom. Whereas if Shen Qibo became the Kingdom's trust, then the lies and gimmicks around the Kingdom might have a bright spot.

Anyway ...

There are still dangerous things around them now. Consort Qian's death made everything that was almost open become closed back. There is no bright spot.

There are some things that are not simple around them.
