BRACKET!
Yi Hua felt his heart begin to want to move to his face due to such a powerful jump. In fact not only herself, Liu Xingsheng looked even more surprised. Ignore Huan Ran who still looks like a wall surface. Flat and not so much expression.
I forgot about this! Isn't it the most dangerous thing in this case to ask 'mother' Xingsheng for permission?
Liu Xingsheng's originally shocked face had now turned into fear. He immediately hid behind Huan Ran who was still as flat as ever. However, now Huan Ran tends to want to roll his eyes. Although he was actually a bit afraid of the presence of Consort Qian.
"How can you get married soon, Xingsheng? Does that beauty know that you're a little coward?" concubine Qian asked as she gritted her teeth.
Liu Xingsheng's face was even more frustrated, and looked towards Yi Hua. How could Yi Hua just look like she wanted to take a snack, and watch her be slaughtered by her own brother. Even so, Liu Xingsheng was saved with the presence of Huan Ran who was somewhat larger than himself.
"Please excuse Consort Qian, but listen to Prime Minister Liu's explanation first." This time Yi Hua tried to mediate, while Huan Ran still looked like he did not care.
"Why should I listen to such nonsense? He wanted to get married, but he didn't show me that woman! I thought he would spend his entire life pestering Huan Ran," Consort Qian denied without wanting to mince words anymore.
However, her words made Yi Hua a little confused. It seemed like Consort Qian was the one who liked the fact that Huan Ran and Liu Xingsheng had never been so far away. So Consort Qian did not expect that her sister would get married someday.
"Sister, listen to me ..."
Concubine Qian stared intently at Liu Xingsheng. "I listened to everything you complained about me. But has that beauty ever heard that whole complaint? He may not know you, Xingsheng!"
Hey, he just wanted to talk!
Yi Hua almost wanted to cover her ears with a piece of foam. However coping with Consort Qian was a slightly annoying matter. He now looks more like an in-law than a brother.
"Sister, I don't really want to get married!" cry Liu Xingsheng who realized that he only had a little time to talk.
But Liu Xingsheng's face was even paler as Consort Qian's eyes grew sharper. It seemed like Consort Qian had to be careful of the high blood pressure she might have. Especially when he had a younger brother who was like Liu Xingsheng.
"How can there be such a brash person like you? Did you know that marriage is not a joke? You must not have listened to what Huan Ran explained to you."
It's getting longer T_T.
Liu Xingsheng himself nearly cried rolling around as a result. He shook Huan Ran's shoulder only for the flat-faced man to help him. That was enough to make Huan Ran distracted. So he helped to answer all the slurs of Consort Qian.
"Concubine Qian, the point is that Liu Xingsheng is just pretending to spread about his marriage," explained Huan Ran in very simple language.
However, the effect is more remarkable. Concubine Qian who was originally chattering like she did not need to breathe, was now silent saying nothing. He turned to look at Yi Hua, and Yi Hua could only answer him with a nod.
"All it takes is the spread of the news, not the content of the news," explained Yi Hua who was actually sorry for Liu Xingsheng's face.
Well, how could a person who had no guts like Liu Xingsheng be the Prime Minister?
It was a very risky job and the stakes were huge. No one could guarantee that Liu Xingsheng could think in critical moments. Even so, Liu Xingsheng was indeed always able to attract the attention of others with his kind demeanor.
A slight attitude made Yi Hua uneasy. Are there really people who are so good that they can sacrifice themselves for the benefit of many people?
Just think it feels like shit.
"Most people like that are hard to find, HuaHua. But that does not mean there is none" said Xiao who was suddenly wise.
Actually, Xiao was talking in his ear. However, Yi Hua did not listen to him that much. Especially if Xiao only commented on how protective the mother and child were. Had this Xiao come into being, then he better be made into a collision to overcome Consort Qian's anger. His face may be thicker than it should be.
"Yes, Brother. I just ..."
"Shut up!" Concubine Qian pointed at Liu Xingsheng again, after which she turned her eyes to Yi Hua.
"What do you mean by the spread?"
Yi Hua obviously had to be careful about this all. However Consort Qian was the one who knew that she was a girl. If she was so much unsettling, Consort Qian would probably strangle her. Worse still Consort Qian might reveal her identity in the Kingdom. Then that would be the end for Yi Hua, he would be put to death for lying to the Li Kingdom.
"Hamba is convinced that her captors are always looking for famous beauty. So that we can lure the kidnapper to come to Liu Xingsheng's 'marriage."
Concubine Qian stared intently at Yi Hua who looked very confident in her plans. "You want to harm the girl who became Liu Xingsheng's pretended bride?"
Thas right. The bride-to-be will be in danger if our plan fails.
"Do we have to find a girl who has a high level of ability?" huan Ran asked for a solution.
"Let me alone," Consort Qian suddenly said.
It makes a horror face from all the others. Whatever the 'mighty' Consort Qian was, but she was still the concubine of King Li. Plus, Consort Qian was too famous to disguise herself. Then, Liu Xingsheng would not focus on his role if he had to deal with his own brother.
"What if someone recognizes you? After all, on the day of the sister's wedding, there's no way her brother doesn't exist."
What Huan Ran said was very true. Plus this was the marriage of a leftist Prime Minister of the Li Kingdom, so it was very strange when the Concubine, who was also the sole family of Liu Xingsheng was not around. It will be a new rumor, and the bad thing is that they will be found out.
Then, Liu Xingsheng's wedding story would be nonsense. It will be the laughing stock of many people. Especially if this case fails to be resolved.
"After all, it would be very dangerous if Consort Qian were to go undercover. What if something really happened?" said Huan Ran which made Consort Qian completely retreat from disguise.
"We're using a guy who's good at fighting to disguise."
Consort Qian refused. "If he's a commoner, or a fool like my brother, then he'll be fooled. Especially if she is a healer, then she will realize that the one disguised there is not a beauty," asserted Consort Qian who did not care about the veiled face of Liu Xingsheng.
A few years ago, exactly when Consort Qian had not been King Li's Concubine, she was the one responsible for examining the man's horribly found corpse. In the ranks of cases, the incident was the most different, because the victim was a man. Likewise with the body is found, while if it is beauty, then the body will disappear.
"From what I examined a few years ago, the man's death looked like a suicide. But he's not a suicide."
Liu Xingsheng looked surprised by that reality. "Didn't the Kingdom declare it a suicide?"
"That's not it, Xingsheng. He died first, just hanged. Because, in many cases of suicide, most victims will remove the tongue when the throat is choked. However the man did not, but the Kingdom ordered to hide about it. It can make people uproar, and think that men can get killed, too."
Isn't this case getting more and more horrible?
"Additionally the one who killed him knew how to kill. The man could die without even sustaining major physical injuries. It is a case where a person can look like a sudden heart attack. Her breathing just stalled, and was hung up," explained Consort Qian who was trying not to get too complicated.
Someone who is smart, intelligent, and thorough. It's only fitting that all this time they can't find out who did it.
"What about girls who are good at fighting?" This time Yi Hua started to take part in the discussion.
Suddenly Consort Qian looked at Yi Hua. "You guys. Don't you also have good talisman-throwing abilities?"
Concubine Qian's gaze grew increasingly attached to Yi Hua. "After all, no one will suspect that you're a fake bride. You're also good at throwing amulets, and you have the ability."
Because, Yi Hua only returned to his original identity. There won't be any stories that reveal identities and so on.
HUH UH?? Me?!
Yi Hua himself was shocked. He had no idea which reality he was more surprised at. Either it was on the fact that she had to be dressed up like a girl again. Or, he might have been more surprised when Consort Qian called him good at throwing talismans.
As Yi Hua recalled he could only use a rat-exorcising talisman one last time.
"Hiks ... Hicks ... Geez, I'm proud of you, son. Finally you got married too" said Xiao who instead mocked rather than give a solution.
Before long Yi Hua could even hear Xiao throwing his snot away, as if he was actually crying. What a shitty play. Yi Hua felt his legs be very itchy as he wanted to kick.
"What does big sister mean by no one being suspicious of Yi Hua? A rude man seemed like he would definitely get caught soon," Liu Xingsheng denied just like that.
That made Consort Qian even more eager to teach her sister to get smarter. Unfortunately, he had already promised to hide about Yi Hua's identity. He was sure Yi Hua had a reason for it all.
"What if this plan fails?" Yi Hua who planned, she was also the one who was afraid.
The problem was that this was Yi Hua. Indeed, the clairvoyant was trash among the trash. He has no ability, but he loves to sow nonsense. So he obviously won't be able to handle all this.
However ... He has to keep going, right?
"Then there will be a second grieving Groom in the ranks of the Li Kingdom officials," explained Huan Ran as he was.
Moment ...
Second said.
If he said the two in general, then Yi Hua would not feel strange. But he said that the second among the officials of the Li Kingdom. That means there's a first, right?
"What do you mean, Prime Minister Huan?" yi Hua asked quickly.
Liu Xingsheng looked at Yi Hua in confusion. This was already very famous in the Li Kingdom. The story of the bride who went missing on her wedding night. Moreover, her groom was a Royal Official. It was impossible for this Yi Hua to not know.
"Have you forgotten, Yi Hua?"
I didn't forget, but I didn't know anything!
Xiao also said nothing about this.
"Oh yeah, I forgot." Xiao's voice just popped out, and made Yi Hua even more upset.
"The second lost beauty story. She was the lover of Zhang Yi's official, Fang Yin."
Everyone thought that the strong reason Zhang Yi wanted to solve this case was because of his lover who could never be found.
