Chapter 520: Evil Wind
“For such a thing to occur, don’t know whether or not the street parade will still continue?” Even though knowing that there might be such an incident, in the end, it sure enough still somewhat affected the mood.
“The Eye of Notice has already died, such an unlucky matter, the street parade naturally won’t stop. On the contrary, it will instead be even grander.”
Towards this kind of thing, Li Hong Yuan understood too well. Merely a human life, how can it compare with a ‘good omen’. Never mind stopping the street parade, letting people have their attention gathered on the Eye of Notice’s death, they would just want to think of every way possible to dissolve the matter, averting everyone’s attention. If able to have the Eye of Notice’s death instantly forgotten, then even better.
Because of the living Enma’s presence, the people to the side, not a single one opened their mouth, regardless of what they were thinking inside. However, when Li Hong Yuan spoke with Jing Wan, they erected their ears.
However, because Jing Wan and Li Hong Yuan were both fully aware inside, they completely didn’t ask Gong Jiu the other party’s cause of death. But, the others didn’t know. That’s why, they weren’t able to remain calm. The Eye of Notice dying during the street parade, when not knowing the facts, no matter who, all would have all kinds of guesses, even guessing whether or not there was some conspiracy in this matter.
However, since Jin Qinwang and Jin Wangfei didn’t continue, they could only itch inside unbearably, letting their imaginations run wild.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSure enough, it was just as Li Hong Yuan said, very soon, the movement could once again be heard. Clearly it had yet to reach them, but Jing Wan felt that it was even more noisy than three years ago at its closest distance. The source of this content is Noᴠel Fɪre.net
The gongs and drums sounded the skies, a boiling cauldron of voices. Seemingly, the Eye of Notice’s death didn’t cause any influence. Clearly, when the Eye of Notice fell from the horse previously, many had seen, to the extent that the people watching in the very back probably all knew, yet now, they seemingly weren’t affected in the slightest. Exactly was their ability to withstand strong, or there exist an expert in controlling the situation?
“The news of death probably got temporarily concealed. After all, at such an old age, how normal is it to fall ill. Not being able to participate in the street parade, the people at most would just inwardly sigh in pity. Once it’s over, the cause investigated, to then publicly announce the matter, the influence will be reduced to the lowest. ————-Who’s in charge of overseeing the situation today?” Li Hong Yuan took a sip of wine.
“Replying to wangye, it’s the Black Clad Guard’s Left Captain, Sir Li.”
“In that case, it’s also no wonder.”
What kind of person was Li Su Yan? He has seen all kinds of situations before, so this bit of adaptability he still had.
The three person street parade becoming just two didn’t really affect anything. In contrast, with two among the three being handsome young men, having a dried-up old man mixed in, in certain people’s eyes, that was simply just ruining the scenery. This way right now, in a way, further matched people’s desire. It couldn’t be helped, good looking people indeed occupied an advantage no matter where, especially during the first impression. This was just human nature, nothing to do with being obsessed with looks and whatnot.
The parade line marched over from the other side. Jiang Wan Li really became the focal selling point. The person clearing the way in front, as they advanced forward, even loudly sung praises, ‘making verses at three years old, forming poetry at five, able to write poetic essay at seven, making a name at a young age, passing the imperial exam as three time top scorer’. Regardless of how much was real, how much was fake, all in all, seemingly having all the wonderful phrases in the world piled on him all wasn’t enough.
Turning her head to look out the window, she just saw those silk handkerchiefs and all kinds of braided flowers, just like fluttering rain, directly fall onto Jiang Wan Li. It was even more excessive than Chen Zheng Min three years ago.
Moreover, seeing those things gently floating down, they should all be very light, not causing a ‘bloody incident’ like three years ago.
“This year’s top scorer really is quite popular.” Jing Wan lightly smiled.
TN: All
Didn’t one see the young ladies to the side all stretching their necks outward? Jing Wan reckon, if not for their presence, afraid they won’t be this reserved. Just look at that smiling face turning red, tightly tugging the handkerchief, the joy unable to be concealed. Clearly it was the amorous feelings sprouting. Sure enough, they chose to stay behind for this one’s sake, bearing the pressure.
Aiyaa, so nice to be young. Yet, she forgot that she herself was also just seventeen years old. These words, she didn’t dare to directly say out loud, else nine times out of ten a bloody incident really will occur.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSupposedly, quite a few people want this one as their outstanding son-in-law. Looks like it wasn’t untrue in the slightest.
Hearing Jing Wan’s words, Li Hong Yuan coldly snorted. His gaze towards Jiang Wan Li a bit hostile.
Jing Wan pretended not to hear and didn’t continue to say anything, just that smilingly watching the excitement. Having such a vinegar jar husband, she was also extremely helpless. Speaking of which, facing Jiang Wan Li, it was already as such, then three years ago, seeing Chen Zheng Min getting appointed as the Flower Snatcher——–although at the time, she and Chen Zheng Min had already cancelled their engagement, but not many knew——based on this one’s pettiness, don’t know whether or not he was shooting eye daggers at Chen Zheng Min the whole time. At the time, because she didn’t know, that’s why, her state of mind was very good. Thinking back now, turns out, at a time unbeknownst to her, certain people were just like walking a tightrope thousands of miles in the air. Any evil wind brushing by can cause them to fall and shatter their bones, and whether or not this evil wind will appear all depended on the living Enma’s will.
Right now, the dust has already settled. Soon after, for Jiang Wan Li, some things, afraid even if wanting avoid, all unable to avoid. After all, he is already a government official, needing to go to the Imperial Hanlin Academy every day. Thinking of that pitiful scene of getting ‘chased and blocked’, one strangely felt a bit ‘pleasure at another’s misfortune’.
After watching the parade, they can just return to the manor. Jing Wan felt, next time, she probably won’t come watch. Alright, if there’s no mishap, then even if she wanted to watch, she won’t be able to. The imperial palace wasn’t a place one can just casually leave.
Returning the manor, after just taking two sips of water, the people below just hastily passed up news.
Li Hong Yuan shook open the letter, quickly glancing over, and then passed it to Jing Wan.
Jing Wan placed down the cup, taking the letter, “Rui Qinwang is preparing to test the blade on Jiang Wan Li, creating an imperial exam fraud case?” She felt it was very absurd, “Just because of his absolute ability, it is instead being taken advantage of? Is this news reliable?”
“Su Ming Zhang delivered it over.”
Then there was nothing to say.
“This prince still haven’t looked for him, yet he decided to cause trouble first, very good!”
