Chapter 314 Shopaholic
Time passed quickly like a white horse passing by, and in the blink of an eye, Yun Yuxi's belly gradually bulged, her body became heavier, and the signs of pregnancy became more and more obvious.
As her belly grew bigger, the couple knew that it would be difficult to keep the matter secret any longer.
After careful consideration, Yan Wuque and Yun Yuxi decided to discuss countermeasures together. In the end, the two reached a consensus - Yan Wuque should find an appropriate time to let everyone know that he has regained the ability to walk.
However, the Regent's Palace is closely monitored by many spies from various forces all day long. If you are not careful, it may cause an uproar and even endanger the safety of yourself and your family.
Therefore, Yan Wuque decided to deliberately reveal some clues so that those who were secretly spying on him would notice them.
Under Yun Yuxi's careful guidance, Yan Wuque began a series of carefully designed rehabilitation training. These trainings seemed ordinary, but in fact they were his clever means of concealing the fact that he had already recovered the ability to walk.
At first, he seemed to be struggling, as if every step he took required a huge effort. But as the days passed, his progress was quite significant, and he was able to slowly move forward one or two steps.
At the same time, the personnel responsible for monitoring the movements of the Regent's Palace quickly reported what they observed to the emperor. That day, one of the emperor's secret guards came before the emperor and respectfully reported to Emperor Suwen:
"Your Majesty, a rather strange thing has happened recently. For several days, according to reports from my spies, the Regent seems to be gradually regaining his ability to walk.
In recent days, our people have witnessed the Regent using crutches in the palace, constantly undergoing various rehabilitation exercises. At first, he could hardly walk, but now he can slowly move one or two steps. "
Hearing this, Emperor Suwen couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought. He thought to himself, "What is the reason for this? Could it be that Yan Wuque is really about to recover? If so, what impact will it have on the situation in our dynasty..."
After a while, Emperor Suwen waved his hand, signaling the secret guards to withdraw, and ordered: "Okay, I have already known about this matter. From now on, there is no need to send people to keep a close eye on the Regent Palace. Quickly withdraw our people to avoid alerting the enemy. I have my own plan for this matter."
The secret guard stood up and disappeared in the palace. Emperor Suwen murmured to himself, "I'm afraid he has another opportunity. For so long, I have been on guard against him, and even did many things I shouldn't have done, but I didn't find that he had any second thoughts. Since he can get better, it's a good thing. As long as he behaves himself, I won't tolerate him. After all, he is a brother, and I can't do without his help. Alas!"
"Your Majesty, is there anything bothering you? I just heard your long sigh from a distance and was very worried! Here, I just brought this steaming hot ginseng tea from the imperial kitchen. Your Majesty, please drink it while it's hot.
You are busy with all kinds of affairs all day long, so you must take care of your health!" Eunuch Liu bent his waist, holding the tray with both hands steadily. On it was the exquisite teacup, and the ginseng tea in the cup was emitting a faint fragrance.
The emperor frowned slightly, took the ginseng tea and took a sip, then slowly put down the cup and sighed:
"Ah... Tell me, am I too suspicious? I am always worried about the regent, and I don't know why. Tell me, in your opinion, what kind of person is the regent? I am in a state of anxiety all day long.
Wuque has indeed gone through a lot of hardships and suffered a lot over the years. Am I really wrong to be so suspicious of him and be wary of him?"
When Eunuch Liu heard this, he turned pale with fear, his knees weakened, and he fell to the ground with a thud. He kowtowed in fear and said:
"Your Majesty, I dare not make any rash comments about His Royal Highness the Regent! How can a disabled person like me know about the various matters in the court? Your Majesty, please forgive me. I still want to serve you in this palace for a few more years!"
"Get up. I know you are loyal and I will not make things difficult for you. Come with me for a walk to relax." After saying this, Emperor Su Wen dressed up and went on a private visit with Eunuch Liu.
The dragon guards who were protecting secretly twitched their lips. They were also speechless. They didn't expect that the emperor would wear the clothes of ordinary people and look like a rich master.
They understood that the emperor wanted to go out and relax and learn about the sufferings of the people. After all, as a king, it is reasonable to go out incognito occasionally. And since the emperor did not want to disclose his identity, there must be a deep meaning behind it. They, the attendants, only need to do their best to protect the emperor's safety.
The eunuch Liu was dressed as an old waiter, carefully following behind Emperor Su Wen, who had transformed into the Ninth Master, and asked softly, "Ninth Master, where are we going this time?"
Emperor Suwen turned his head slightly and responded with a smile: "Let's walk around and experience the hustle and bustle of the city for ourselves." After that, he put his hands behind his back, walked leisurely and began to stroll around.
Kyoto is a city that is worthy of its name. It is prosperous and bustling everywhere. Shops are lined up on both sides of the street, and the sounds of hawking can be heard one after another. The streets are crowded with people, and it is very lively.
Emperor Suwen was like a child entering a busy city for the first time. He looked around with great interest and found everything new and interesting.
He tried the special snacks here and looked at the exquisite handicrafts there, and his mouth hardly stopped eating all the way. He did not have the majestic and solemn demeanor of an emperor in his usual days. He looked like a handsome middle-aged man who was greedy for food.
The eunuch Liu, who was in charge of serving the emperor, was extremely busy. Not only did he have to keep an eye out for any hidden dangers in the surrounding environment, he also had to constantly take out small change he had prepared in advance from his pocket to pay for various items for Emperor Suwen.
In a short while, the originally bulging purse had deflated by more than half.
However, what Eunuch Liu never expected was that the emperor had such a strong interest in shopping!
At this time, his whole body was covered with all kinds of strange and eccentric gadgets from the folk, but Emperor Suwen was still happy to buy them, completely ignoring the fact that Eunuch Liu was already exhausted and out of breath.
"Master Jiu, that's enough, that's enough. You have bought so many things that I can't carry them all," Eunuch Liu muttered quietly behind him.
