Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1283 - 1289: Brother Ying Looking for Someone (2)

He felt melancholy, watching her horse carriage disappear at the end of the street before he slowly turned around and headed back to his business...

At that moment,

sitting inside the carriage, Xiang Yun was fervently kneading her handkerchief in her hands, trying to hide her excitement and anxiety.

Good heavens, she hadn’t expected that the person who saved her would be him, nor had she imagined that he possessed such great martial arts skills...

That night, why had he appeared at her manor? Was he already aware that someone was going to harm her and deliberately came to save her, or was there some other reason for his appearance?

Moreover, with his high level of martial arts, he had the ability to achieve an earth-shattering career and make a famous name for himself, so why did he choose to humbly work under Cai Wei as an inconspicuous shopkeeper? Was it because he lacked ambition, or was there some other reason?

At this point, the image of Cai Wei’s unparalleled beauty suddenly flashed through her mind, causing her heart to skip a beat.

Could it be that he was secretly in love with Cai Wei, willing to humble himself to such a position?

Thinking about this, her heart sank into desolation. Yes, it must be so! Cai Wei was so beautiful that even women couldn’t take their eyes off her, let alone a man in his prime. Thinking of The Emperor, a man so noble and proud, who for her sake, had decreed the dissolution of the Imperial Harem and vowed never to take another consort, distancing himself from his younger sister and mother, then it was not surprising that Situ Changge, for her sake, would willingly be a minor shopkeeper.

Thinking about this, her heart began to ache.

Such an outstanding man, he could marry any miss from a prestigious family, why must he stubbornly pursue a love that was not his? The Emperor, who deeply loved the Empress, would never rest if he found out someone dared to covet his woman.

Thinking about this, she resolved herself; she couldn’t, she had to help him awaken sooner to avoid bringing disaster upon himself...

The horse carriage arrived at Zhenbao Pavilion, yet Xiang Yun still hadn’t thought of a proper way to handle it. This kind of matter involved personal privacy; she couldn’t just advise him face to face, it would be too embarrassing, but if she didn’t, he would keep sinking deeper and eventually, The Emperor would discover it. What was to be done?

She got out of the carriage, troubled, and entered Zhenbao Pavilion with Cui Wen and Cui Lu.

Today, Zhenbao Pavilion was buzzing with activity, crowded with customers, surpassing even the Masterpiece Building. Everyone knew that the owner of Zhenbao Pavilion was the Empress Dowager, hence, many ladies and misses intentionally shopped here, seeking to curry favor with the Empress Dowager in hopes of advancing their husbands’ or fathers’ careers; moreover, the pearls and jade utensils of the pavilion were now famous for their full, round, and glossy pearls, diverse varieties at reasonable prices, and the jade of pure quality and exquisite craftsmanship, also reasonably priced, thus attracting a large number of customers.

The area on the first floor, once selling inexpensive items, had been replaced by various types of pearl accessories like pearl flowers, suspended ornaments, Zhu combs, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and more, all reasonably priced, drawing many ladies and misses to gawk and try them on...

Under normal circumstances, Xiang Yun, always sensitive to fashion trends, would have pushed forward to take a look and indulge in buying a few pieces. But her current mood had no room for such interests; she was intent only on quickly meeting Cai Wei, to relay the situation and ask her to somehow help Master Situ, lest The Emperor should notice his affections and provoke a disaster.

The shopkeeper, noticing Xiang Yun’s arrival, quickly came out from behind the counter and eagerly said, "Oh! Young Madam, you’ve arrived. It just so happens our shop has received some good new products, how about I show you upstairs?"
