Chapter 507 Finale (6)
After saying that, Ji Wuyuan raised his hand slightly, and Feiyu bowed and moved closer.
He whispered a few words, but Feiyu's pupils suddenly widened.
Fei Yu was shocked and asked, "Master, are you really going to do this?"
Ji Wuyuan said "hmm" in a light tone and asked him to start making arrangements.
The next day, when Jiang Wantang woke up in the morning, everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened last night.
Nor did he continue to doubt and test him as Ji Wuyuan had thought.
Life still goes on peacefully as usual.
A few days later, when Jiang Wantang was watering the flowers in the yard, Cui'er came back hurriedly from the market with a small basket in her hand.
As she ran, she gasped, "Girl! Girl...something bad has happened!"
"Guess what I heard on the street?"
Jiang Wantang looked at her surprised expression with a smile, and said nonchalantly, "Oh, what did you hear?"
"Yes...it's the Emperor in the capital...who has gone on an incognito tour to the south of the Yangtze River..."
Before he finished speaking, the smile on Jiang Wantang's face suddenly froze, and the kettle in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
The splashing water soaked her skirt and embroidered shoes.
Jiang Wantang was completely oblivious. She took a step forward and tightly grasped Cui'er's arm, her fingertips cold...
Her eyes were filled with shock, and when she spoke, her voice trembled: "What did you say?!"
Cui Er was frightened by her reaction. She was stunned for a moment before she said blankly, "Miss...Miss, the rumors are spreading on the streets that the Emperor of the capital is going on an incognito tour to the south of the Yangtze River, with sword-wielding guards leading the way. The imperial carriage will soon pass through our Qingshui Town..."
Jiang Wantang's heart sank and his breathing became rapid.
She glanced at Ji Wuyuan in the yard, who was looking at her in confusion and surprise.
Then, Jiang Wantang lifted her skirt and quickly ran towards the street market Cui'er mentioned...
He ran very fast, as if he was eager to meet someone.
"Girl! Girl..."
"Run slower, be careful..."
As she spoke, Cui'er put down the small basket in her hand and hurriedly chased after him.
Ji Wuyuan was left standing in the courtyard, his eyes gloomy as he looked at Jiang Wantang's back as she hurried away, his expression complex and indescribable.
Soon, he followed.
The already bustling street market was now even more noisy and crowded with people, and the entire street was already blocked off.
At this time, Jiang Wantang was standing on the third floor, the highest floor of Qing Building, wearing a light gauze hat, looking at the noisy crowd downstairs.
Ji Wuyuan and Cui'er stood on her left and right respectively.
Not long after, there was a sudden commotion at the end of the street...
Soon, a large number of officers and soldiers poured into the streets and dispersed the crowd.
"Make way! Make way!..." the officers and soldiers shouted and cleared the road.
Next, the imperial guards walked in front to lead the way.
Afterwards, suddenly a clear bell rang, and the gilded carriage, a symbol of imperial power, gradually appeared in the astonished eyes of the crowd.
The people in the street knelt down one after another, not daring to look directly at the emperor.
The originally bustling street suddenly became quiet and silent.
It just happened to pass by the town entrance, so the carriage did not go into the market, but went all the way south.
Passing the crowd kneeling on the long street, Jiang Wantang saw the gilded carriage appear from afar, and gradually went away in the support of the crowd.
Just one glance and Jiang Wantang couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
She was wearing a veil, and Cui'er beside her didn't notice anything wrong with her.
Cui'er leaned against the railing, stretched her neck to look, and exclaimed: "Oh my God! Girl, I must be dreaming!"
"In my lifetime, I actually saw the emperor's holy carriage!"
"How majestic and magnificent!"
"I heard that the current emperor is young, yet his methods are ruthless, and no one in the world dares to submit to him..."
"I just don't know what it looks like."
"..."
Cui'er's eyes sparkled and she kept exclaiming in amazement.
It wasn't just her. As soon as the imperial carriage left, the streets and alleys, which had been silent just a moment ago, suddenly became like a boiling pot, with people talking and talking...
However, Jiang Wantang just stared at the direction where the imperial carriage left for a long time without saying a word.
Ji Wuyuan, who was standing behind her, also said nothing.
His eyes were always focused on Jiang Wantang's reaction.
All of the latter's reactions were beyond his expectations.
He had planned this drama of the emperor's incognito tour to the south of the Yangtze River a long time ago, with the original intention of covering up the fact that he was not in the capital later.
After all, it will take at least a year for Jiang Wantang to recover from giving birth.
Even if there is an imperial master in the capital to cover up the situation, clues will emerge over time.
The plan was originally to be implemented in a few months, but because of Jiang Wantang's late-night test a few days ago, it had to be brought forward.
Only the appearance of 'Ji Wuyuan' can dispel her current doubts about herself.
He originally thought that when Jiang Wantang learned that he had come to Jiangnan, she would hide quietly, for fear of being discovered by him.
But she dragged her heavy body and ran impatiently to the crowded street, just to catch a glimpse of the imperial carriage from afar.
Even though she suspected that Ji Wuyuan was right beside her, her subconscious reaction when she heard the news about him was... to run out.
It looked like he was afraid of missing something...
This was a nervous and helpless look that had never been seen on her before.
Ji Wuyuan's deep pupils stared at her calmly, their color unfathomable.
Especially when he saw Jiang Wantang's hands trembling uncontrollably while clutching her dress, a thousand feelings surged into his heart, an indescribable complexity.
Her reaction at this moment gave him the illusion that he was actually very important in her heart.
By then, the imperial carriage had already gone far away and completely disappeared.
The noise and chatter in the streets gradually returned to normal.
After this brief moment of shock, everyone returned to their original positions.
But Jiang Wantang still stared at the direction where the imperial carriage left, motionless, for a long time.
It lasted so long that Cui'er beside her realized something was wrong and quietly retreated to the back without saying a word to disturb her.
Jiang Wantang stood in front of the vermilion railing with her back to them, wearing a veil on her head. No emotion could be seen on her face, and she didn't make any sound.
At this moment, the sky is clear and it is not raining.
However, Ji Wuyuan, who was standing diagonally behind her, could clearly see drops of water falling on the hem of her pink skirt, staining it bit by bit...
Ji Wuyuan's pupils suddenly shrank.
Is this... tears?
Is she crying?
Because of him?
