A huge commotion occurred in the City Center.
In addition to the coup plan made by Officer Wen and several other Officials, but also because of the massacre case at the Crown Prince's Residence Palace. Where the main witness is King Li Shen himself. A very different event than usual.
Other people's opinions popped up. Where could a King allow evil to happen before his eyes?
Back again on the view however this King also has weaknesses. But again this goes back to the view that this King was not able to rule. Even the survivors in that incident were only Li Quon and the King himself.
Officials Wen's anger increased when they learned that her daughter was killed in the incident at her own grandson's residence.
They are getting stronger to bring down the government. Kicking a King who is seen as useless and weak. Even so, some people who still believed in the King did not defect.
The High Court was a little cold. Where trust now seems divided. Most of them cornered the King, so accidentally like asking the King to come down from his throne. This included the Wen Office, which was seen as the forerunner of the coup
BRACKET!
"Then, who is responsible for the death of the servant's daughter, Your Majesty?" official Wen asked after pounding the table in front of him.
Wang Zeming stared intently at Officer Wen. "Dear your manners, Officer Wen."
When the mistakes and weaknesses of the leader arise, the counter party will use it to weaken.
King Li Shen was seen clenching his hands. But he couldn't say anything. What these damn people are looking for is not the truth, but rather its negligence. A place where King Li Shen himself could not defend himself.
"Especially the Diviner Yi Hua! How could His Majesty entrust him to heal Prince Li Quon? Now he's killed a lot of people!" other Office Snaps.
But from his words we already know where he is in the camp.
General Wei sighed. "However Yi Hua healed the Crown Prince back then. It can't be ..."
"What is impossible? He is Yi Hua! He caused a lot of riots first. What makes it impossible for him to do so?" snarled Office Wen.
Looky. Even today they cannot reply to the words of these traitors.
"This is because we chose a King who did not comply with the command of the Gods," The whispers sounded around them.
King Li Shen could not even defend himself.
Wang Zeming as the Royal Advisor calmed the crowd. "So, what do the High Officials think about the next course of action?" wang Zeming asked to open the discussion.
"Make the fortuneteller Yi recompense for his damned deeds" Wen's official explained.
King Li Shen's hand involuntarily clenched. However Yi Hua gave him a familiar feeling about his longing for someone. But he is a king. He knows the government rules. There was no evidence that could protect Yi Hua. The King was indeed there, but the position of the King alone was no longer entrusted to Li Shen.
He wanted to defend himself, but there was no way to defend himself. The throne that Li Shen held actually toppled himself.
In other words Li Shen was useless. He admitted it himself.
Wang Zeming glanced at Li Shen who was like he was nowhere to be. The man cleared his throat for a moment before opening his voice.
"But His Majesty said that the killer was not the fortuneteller Yi. Don't look at being the King anymore, but His Majesty is the witness," explained Yue Yan who had somehow no wind, but brought Wang Zeming to the High Court.
Thanks to the training Yue Yan was more able to control his honest mouth. So that now he can speak loudly and well. That is what is expected as a candidate for Prime Minister.
Other officials in the defector camp, of course, disagree with the idea. He disputes. "Yue Yan, you have no right to speak before the High Court!" hard snapped.
"Then you guys are shit ... Don't I mean a judgmental person with no clear evidence who deserves to talk here?" Yue Yan refused to submit under the pressure of others.
"Yue Yan you ..."
"Stop!" wang Zeming said, Stop the debate. He glanced at Yue Yan to stop the man's remark. However, Yue Yan remained on his way.
"Am I wrong Counselor Wang? I was taught with all that sickening training. I was taught manners and the rules of the kingdom that were damn there only, but few understood it. As far as I can remember, the government's rule never justified any punishment without clear evidence! Or ... Am I the only one forced to learn this? And the Honorable Office holds the high office without knowing this?" yue Yan asked excitedly.
Yue Yan could see their weakness as Yue Yan was used to reading expressions. Ever since these eyes were bestowed on him, it was like seeing the other side of someone else. Yue Yan began to understand why Shen Qibo chose to close his eyes and act as if he was an assassin slaughtering anyone.
Shen Qibo is a man of high nationalism. Where he eradicated the people of the Valley of Dust who once wanted to carry out a massive coup. But because killing is something that is considered wrong and sinful, Shen Qibo bears it all.
Wen's official slightly shook as he spoke. "Please! You're that ..."
"Why if I am only a Yue Yan? Then, I don't deserve to talk like that? I do not deserve to put my thoughts to those of you who run the Kingdom? If that's not the case, hold this damn High Court, and decide for yourself without having to exchange ideas. Because the other opinions are not heard either!" yue Yan snapped at her bandit release.
Li Shen turned to Yue Yan and understood that Yue Yan actually had a very honest remark. Back in the Bao Jiazhen region back then, Yue Yan had never left her either. He began to understand why Yi Hua suggested Yue Yan be part of the kingdom.
He's not smart but he's not two-faced.
Wang Zeming saw there was silence in the High Court. It was not that they were afraid of what Yue Yan said, but they were more afraid if they looked even worse. Some of them just keep their faces rather than expressing their opinions.
"If so ... Wouldn't it be better to wait for clear evidence and confessions from the Diviner Yi first?" asked Wang Zeming who felt he already had a gap to mediate.
Wen's office could not say anything. It's just ...
King Li Shen narrowed his eyes. Although in this High Court King Li Shen could not be brought down, but this traitor must have another way. Li Shen nodded his head to General Wei.
General Wei who saw that nodded his head as well. After that, the Wei man came out unnoticed by anyone else. His orders were clear and General Wei was very understanding.
Executing a plan that Li Shen should have thought of a long time ago but could not be done. With the potential of Yue Yan, now he could do it.
Might as well.
King Li Shen gave the order to end the High Court today.
"Give the soldiers to comb through the entire City Center. Close the City Center gate, because the Yi Seer must not have come out far. No one should spread the story to the people to prevent panic. Ensure the safety of the population as a priority," orders King Li Shen who stands from his throne.
Then, King Li Shen ordered the security of the Kingdom. "Strict guard for the Crown Prince."
"Okay, Your Majesty."
Li Shen continued, "The funeral passage of Consort Wen. Give him the best funeral. Send gold and jewelry to Wen's residence as my apology."
King Li Shen glanced sharply at Officer Wen, "Is there still something to talk about in the High Court today?"
An official who was quite quiet, but on the neutral side spoke up. "No, Your Grace. I think I'm done and we start the search."
Therefore King Li Shen walked out of the High Court room. Behind him followed a few personal bodyguards along with Wang Zeming. Yue Yan also came out and followed Wang Zeming.
Wang Zeming spoke to Li Shen's personal bodyguard. "Make sure of Your Majesty's safety."
"Okay, Counselor Wang."
After which, Wang Zeming dragged his disciple, Yue Yan to head to the study again. Yang of course replied to the cry of Yue Yan who did not accept this act of oppression.

In one of the already heavily destroyed residences.
Yi Hua still remembered this place.
He and Li Shen used to hide in this house when the Xin Kingdom was hunting him. Of course Yi Hua's residence could no longer be a hiding place. The soldiers must have searched the place.
And the funny thing is now that Yi Hua is also hiding in this place from the pursuit of Li Kingdom soldiers.
He's not alone. There was Zhang Yuwen, the Bloody Curtain and Wei Wuxie there.
Like repeating an old story.
"So, the Princess is now reborn and again being chased?" zhang Yuwen asked in the end.
Wei Wuxie who was indeed as cold as the surface of the cow face, only glanced at Yi Hua. The girl ... Yeah ... They knew that Yi Hua was a girl. Of course they were wondering why could Li Wei be reborn into a man, Yi Hua?
But Yi Hua casually said that he was actually a woman. The real Yi Hua only hid his identity. For reasons that Yi Hua did not explain.
So the point is, the girl in the man's clothes was rolling like a fish out of the water on the dirty floor. It seemed that in the crucial moment Yi Hua managed to come to this house and sleep.
Damnit damnit!
It was in vain that Zhang Yuwen was worried.
Yi Hua let out a sore body. "Wei Wuxie, I'm hungry."
Inevitably Wei Wuxie sighed. "Mr Princess, you should be a little panicked."
Soon Yi Hua's smile appeared. "Thank you."
Zhang Yuwen frowned. "What to thank you for this, Princess?"
"At least when all the respect for me is over, you still call me Princess," Yi Hua said as she patted her dirty clothes.
Don't forget that Yi Hua is wearing her white clothes.
Wei Wuxie and Zhang Yuwen were silent.
"Where did the Demon Lord of Destruction go?" zhang Yuwen asked Wei Wuxie.
"Capturing chickens in the City Center."
Huh uh?
Yi Hua laughed softly. "Are we so destitute that we have to catch people's chickens?"
But Yi Hua's laughter did not last long as he recalled the events in the past.
The same groove.
Wei Wuxie said seriously. "There was someone who shot an arrow towards Yue Yan. The Demon Lord of Destruction found there was a letter there, and it was there just like before. Asked to look for a chicken with a letter tied to its feet."
Zhang Yuwen was more curious about who this Yue Yan was called.
^^^*Remember that Zhang Yuwen did not know Yue Yan. Yue Yan was his friend Yi Hua with Liu Xingsheng.^^^
There was the death of a royal important person. The great natural disaster, which was now replaced with a corpse attack was walking in the Crown Prince's palace. Then, ... Chicken with a letter on his leg.
Yi Hua straightened his body when Hua Yifeng's tall figure went inside.
Ignoring the chicken that Hua Yifeng was carrying affectionately, Hua Yifeng showed the letter that was bound in the chicken. Behind Hua Yifeng was Liu Xingsheng who followed. It seemed like Yi Hua knew who caught the chicken. Because the tangled and dirty one was Liu Xingsheng.
"The paper is empty" Hua Yifeng said with a flat face.
Yi Hua looked at Liu Xingsheng who was walking tired. Then, Liu Xingsheng sat down beside Yi Hua and spread his head on Yi Hua's lap. Just now Liu Xingsheng wanted to talk, Yi Hua who spoke first.
"It looks like we are getting closer to the sixth Great Catastrophe" Yi Hua said.
Demon of Destruction, Hua Yifeng.
White Skull, Bao Jiazhen.
Bloody Curtain, Zhang Yuwen.
The Blind Priest, Shen Qibo.
Black Princess, Li Wei.
They were the Five Disasters of the Li Kingdom. Every single one of their births was a great disaster in this world.
Then, just as Liu Xingsheng had said, according to Consort Qian's research, it would indeed be born a new disaster.
It's just. No one knows how big the destruction is.
***
Then the Li Kingdom began to enter the rainy season.
Heavy rain drenched the City Center and nearby small towns. Of course it is a gift to the kingdom. But because of heavy rain, clouds are always cloudy. So that no one is so aware if the cloudy this time is more cloudy than the usual rain.
It was as dark as the night.
But what happened in the City Centre was pretty bad. Suddenly there is a natural disaster that is not so big. It's just the mountains around the City Center. Precisely near the Tomb of the Wei Family suddenly landslide due to heavy rain.
This caused the access there to be closed. There were no casualties. There was also no amount of injuries. Because the landslide on the mountain happened at night. So the royal volunteer army came in during the day to clear the road.
Just to know if there really wasn't any casualties there.
What is feared is the amount of rain water now that could affect sea water.
Although it was always raining, but people could still gather to talk and discuss with each other. For some reason now the news of Consort Wen's death is often discussed. Though the kingdom has not been able to announce the news because there has been no 'cause'. So again a big commotion happened.
They wondered how Consort Wen could die in a torn state.
Are there any wild animals wandering around? Or ... The walking corpse attack appeared again?
