DONG! DONG!
Yi Hua had a severe headache while he was inside the stretcher. Somehow it happened. Perhaps it was supported by Xiao's terrible chirping voice. Or, maybe because he felt tired of all the activities he had been doing all this time.
Imagine how many times he refused to get dressed!
What if someone knew that she was Yi Hua, the Seer who was about to be executed. And, the disturbance managed to pass with An asking the fairy lady to stay away. In the end, Yi Hua himself had to make up his face.
"Where did you know to tell me?" asked Xiao who seemed to be fond of talking.
With all those hallmarks, Xiao said that he was quiet. That was what made Yi Hua almost turn the palanquin so badly. Why does the system act on him like this?
"I just followed how Liu Xingsheng put on makeup that time?" yi Hua replied while wiping his own sweat.
Maybe this is supported by her multi-layered clothes. Not to mention with the head covering that An had paired before. It really made Yi Hua want to roll around because of his sultry. Especially with the strange fog around them.
"You why? Your body temperature's rising." Xiao who was in Yi Hua's ears could clearly feel his body temperature.
Yi Hua wiped his own sweat. "I don't know."
"It looks like you should call An. You could be poisoned."
When's?
Yi Hua did not know how he could be poisoned just like that. Therefore, he asked the waiter who was walking beside the stretcher to call An. The man stood guard at the front of the stretcher.
Soon the train was on the stretcher, and An just walked into the curtain of the stretcher. This made many people look in disbelief. How could this man enter the bridal palanquin of someone else. Moreover, the stretcher usually only fit for one person.
"What's up, Yi Hua?" An's eyes looked down at the face of Yi Hua who was still wearing a red headscarf.
Yi Hua opened his hood, and looked at An who was bowing towards him. That made An a little confused. But Yi Hua did not understand the reason why An did not seem to want to look at her.
"It looks like I'm poisoned, Mr. An," said Yi Hua, who was gasping for air.
An looks so weird now. But the man still tried to grab Yi Hua's face, and observed. Before long he realized something, and rubbed Yi Hua's lips with the back of his hand. It made some of the red color stick to Yi Hua's hot cheeks.
Without counting the seconds, An instantly sniffed the scent of lip dye worn by Yi Hua. His eyes seemed dangerous, and partly because he had only realized it. Somehow he was so careless as to not notice Yi Hua when berias.
Well, partly because An had to keep watch outside.
"You are indeed poisoned" An said as he cleaned Yi Hua's lips with the tip of his robe.
I don't know why Yi Hua was uncomfortable with all this. However ...
Yi Hua's hand grabbed the tip of An's robe tightly, and made the two people fall silent simultaneously. Silence is created there. I don't know why everyone feels weird around them. Especially with a very narrow stretcher, and this heat.
"Hey, Yi Hua, wake up! You're exposed to love powder." Xiao's voice echoed in Yi Hua's ear.
However it happened without being able to be understood by Yi Hua. She only knew that she was given an aphrodisiac through lip dye. He felt like a fish lacking water.
An seemed to pull out a piece of medicine from his pocket. Somehow this guy is always on standby. Before long the man pressed the medicine into Yi Hua's mouth. And, the man's breath was also not due to his pull.
An's eyes took a peek at Yi Hua's face, and before they could talk to each other. Or, giving Yi Hua time to recover her body, a smooth singing voice sounded. It was so smooth, that the fur on Yi Hua followed her feelings.
There are bitter and sad feelings. Everything Yi Hua could feel. It pierced his heart, and made him feel sleepy.
"Red satin covered on his face. Covering her beauty like a flower. Visiting the sky to be blessed. Kowtowing at the altar, to love each other~."
It was a happy song. About someone heading to her wedding. Why is there such a feeling as wanting to cry?
SRETT!
Unexpectedly An looks ordinary. The man was not affected by it anymore. Instead, he covered Yi Hua in his black robe. The heat on Yi Hua's body that had not subsided was getting worse, even though he had been given an antidote. The problem is that the bidder has time to work.
And, the stretcher felt as if it was carried away by something. Looks like someone lifted their stretcher, but not the previous stretcher lifters. Because Yi Hua had seen the situation outside when An brushed the curtain. The stretcher-bearers fell asleep, and the cause must have been the singing.
"This is how he kidnapped." That's what An told her. Although Yi Hua could only deduce a little.
A song to put to bed, and everything will look like nothing happened when you wake up.
There were not a few steps, their palanquin seemed to move violently before falling. Aye! They fell, or rather their palanquins felt like they were thrown into an uneven place.
Yi Hua could feel that An was holding his body. Otherwise Yi Hua would have been thrown out of the stretcher, or worse still he would have been blown hard. And, Yi Hua only had a thin awareness to know the circumstances.
"What .." whispered Yi Hua who was still not because of his feelings.
An sharpened his gaze. "He's coming."
Wh who?
But Yi Hua could not understand anything anymore. He was unconscious, though Xiao's voice was cringing in his ear. Everything disappears like a distant dream.
"Yi Hua, you can die if you fall asleep." That Xiao shout could not make Yi Hua bring back his consciousness.
***
The wedding of the Liu family was held in a very luxurious manner. The reason is, the Liu family from the beginning did have a high name in the Li Kingdom. Coupled with the title of Prime Minister possessed by Liu Xingsheng.
Red satins are laid out all over. The whole fixture is also dominated by red. The altar of adoration for the wedding has also been prepared. There is no gap in this marriage.
How amazing!
They wondered who the lucky girl was to marry the Prime Minister, as well as the Li Kingdom's sister-in-law. There were also those who wondered if that beauty could surpass the face of Liu Xingsheng who was already beautiful from the source. Some even ask, what kind of black magic is used by the beauty.
There were very different types of talks, and Liu Xingsheng had already listened to them from tree to tree. Even so, he could only sigh. He himself did not quite understand why they were this intent to create a trap. Although Liu Xingsheng himself did not know what happened exactly.
Now she was in her red wedding dress waiting in front of the altar. Well, tell me she's waiting for her bride. However, she did not expect that her marriage would go on like this.
Fake.
But it must be strange if I am really married to Yi Hua. Well, his face is beautiful.
Liu Xingsheng's thoughts returned the moment Yi Hua pressed him against the wall. Then, ...
THE PLAQUE!
Huan Ran who was guarding Liu Xingsheng so as not to run away became shocked. The reason, he had already witnessed Liu Xingsheng patting his cheek loudly. It made her think that Liu Xingsheng had already started to go crazy due to his own marriage.
"Are you nervous about this wedding?" huan Ran asked in disbelief.
Isn't this just a fake wedding? Then, why would Liu Xingsheng act like a man who was about to get married, even though it was feeding itself already? It's hard to think so!
Liu Xingsheng already knew who the (fake) bride was for him. And, why did she have to act like she was about to get married for real?
In this life Liu Xingsheng judged that marriage was sacred. All of them have a foundation for worship of the sky when married. If it's like this, aren't they like tricking the sky.
Huan Ran sighed. He almost wanted to kick Liu Xingsheng's ridiculous head. How could this man not pay attention to the structure of the plan made by Yi Hua? This is the reason why you shouldn't follow a plan when your brain isn't good at understanding the real plan.
"It's just pretend, Liu Xingsheng."
Liu Xingsheng was acting excessively. It was as if he wiped his tears from being oppressed. Huan Ran grew even more furious wanting to kick Liu Xingsheng's silly head. Why so many people, and he should be this fellow?
"What if people ask about the failure of my marriage? It would be a shame for the surname ..mphhh," said Liu Xingsheng who was barely at length, but Huan Ran immediately interrupted him.
SRAT!
Liu Xingsheng instantly kept silent. Especially when Huan Ran pressed him against the wall, and shut Huan Ran pressed his palm against Liu Xingsheng's mouth. It made Liu Xingsheng could only bring out a protest through his glaring eyes. Even so, Huan Ran's sharp eyes made Liu Xingsheng's guts weak.
"You want this plan to fail, you idiot? Where'd you keep your head? Maybe it contained only a handful of cow food," Huan Ran lamented without holding back his words anymore..
Yet the commotion around them swallowed Liu Xingsheng's voice. So it was possible that Liu Xingsheng's voice was only considered a passing cow. And, it made the two Prime Ministers sigh.
SRAPS!
Liu Xingsheng attempted to release Huan Ran's handcuff, albeit with great difficulty. After breaking free, Liu Xingsheng rubbed his slightly sore lips and chin, he shook Huan Ran's shoulder. His face was a bit exaggerated as usual, and it made Huan Ran roll his eyes irritatedly.
"If this plan works, what about Yi Hua? You want her to be the next victim? Well, even though I don't know what the difference is if he's undercover, or some other guy in disguise. However, even though sister said Yi Hua would not be found out, but how could she not be found out. She's that ..."
... A gent.
THE PLAQUE!
So annoying!
That was what Liu Xingsheng wanted to say. But the hard blow on the back of his head brought his voice to a halt. And, there was Consort Qian with her Half Mother's aura blaring. It made Liu Xingsheng instantly hide behind Huan Ran.
It's been so exhausting. Moreover, Huan Ran had already experienced this moment many times in his life.
"Where is your calm demeanor, Prime Minister Liu?"
Liu Xingsheng immediately stood up straight, and grew stiffer as Consort Qian approached towards him. However Consort Qian did not hit Liu Xingsheng, but rather tidied up Liu Xingsheng's red wedding attire. Being laid out like this even Liu Xingsheng was already extremely outstanding.
Unfortunately, his sister is too silly to be called as attractive.
"Listen to me ... The bridal palanquin that took Yi Hua disappeared."
Disappear?
Huan Ran looked flat as usual. "Is this really related to the devil?"
There have been rumors going around for several years. Precisely after the Regent's Princess who disappeared on her wedding day. Or, you could call him Zhang Yi's lover. The beauty disappeared as her mark was carried towards the altar of worship.
What a sad thing to call.
But from there they assume that this culprit is a man. Like someone looking for a bride. Because, usually if a demon is looking for something to 'eaten' or 'pollinated', usually will not choose the category of beauty that is interesting.
Or, the case is just not finished yet?
There is still less element than all of this. That was how Huan Ran felt. Because, since fifteen victims since five years ago, it is hard to believe if the culprit cannot be arrested. They catch the criminals who often sell the beauty, in fact there is no evidence that shows it 'right' on them.
Then, they spent five years chasing their own tails. There is no end to this sickening turnaround. So when Zhang Yi took the case to settle, they thought that this was the end of the criminal. For, Zhang Yi is the Royal Li Official who bears his name.
Yet another person's spirit was broken the moment Zhang Yi disappeared. And, Liu Xingsheng suddenly brought Zhang Yi back after the intrusion on Mount Hua. Then, the thinking of the people turned again to the first accusation. This was Hua Yifeng, and therefore Zhang Yi was held hostage there.
However, Zhang Yi only testified that he was arrested when he investigated Mount Hua. Also, there was no evidence that Zhang Yi saw that Hua Yifeng hid these beauties. What a futile work.
However, people began to speculate again that this was in regard to the Demon Bride. Rumor has it that Hua Yifeng had a very bad face, and Hua Yifeng lost Princess Li Wei. They began to assume that Hua Yifeng was only trying to find a replacement for Princess Li Wei.
Because, Princess Li Wei is famous for her beauty, intelligence, and courage. He was very talented in his youth, and was famous for his kindness. If she had done nothing wrong, then she could have become the first Female King in the mainland of Li Kingdom. No one understood why Princess Li Wei betrayed the Li Kingdom, and fought against her elder brothers.
The sins of man can be made at any time.
That was the reason they assumed that Hua Yifeng was the real culprit. Yi Hua thought differently. Because, Yi Hua, somehow felt that there was still something blocking from this all. Moreover, there was one other victim than usual, a man who hung in the palace area.
Many said that the man did not belong in the same murderous circle, but Yi Hua was very sure that this was sourced from the same thing. It's just that he needs a thread to connect all of this. Therefore, this plan is underway.
The worst of all is if from the beginning ...
"More than one person."
That was what Yi Hua had said earlier. Huan Ran thought that it was very reasonable, but from where Yi Hua concluded, Huan Ran still did not know. It was just that this Yi Hua understood things better than anyone else.
"It's hard to believe that the mark could disappear. Did the servants who were with him not see how he disappeared?" huan Ran asked seriously.
Doesn't this lead to forces beyond humans? Was Yi Hua wrongly guessing about this case?
Maybe it has something to do with the devil.
"There was a thick fog along the way. However, nothing happened, even though the road was difficult to take. But by the time they made it through the fog, the bride's red stretcher had already vanished. The one who lifted the palanquin had already disappeared. When they returned to the previous street, the stretcher bearer was lying there asleep," Consort Qian explained in a whispering tone.
People who witness marriage are actually confused by what is happening. Why have the three been whispering since. When did the wedding take place?
But since there was Consort Qian, the officials did not dare to ask. They can only wait while enjoying dishes that already taste cold. This is a long time since the scheduled time.
"What did they say, brother?" asked Liu Xingsheng directly.
Consort Qian looked desperate. "They don't know. They heard a subtle voice from a man in joy, and after that they fell asleep. But others don't hear it."
Huh uh?
There was fog, there was a man in joy, and the others could not hear. Only the stretcher bearers heard it. Who can do it, if it's not the devil?
They think the same thing in the end. Although there is no end or result of this thought. Did this plan end up in vain?
