However, Wang Wanru remained vigilant. She kept an eye on Zhao Ji's actions to prevent him from taking the opportunity to influence the emperor.

However, Zhao Ji did not seem to have such an intention. He just enjoyed this wonderful time leisurely and did not interfere with the relationship between the emperor and Xiaoling.

This made Wang Wanru a little confused, but she did not let down her guard. She knew that Zhao Ji would never give up so easily, and he must be planning something in secret.

While they were shopping, they suddenly heard a commotion not far away. Zhao Ji's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something: "Everyone, there seems to be something going on over there, let's go over and take a look!"

The emperor nodded, and the group walked towards the direction of the noise. Wang Wanru was confused, but she had no choice but to follow closely.

When they approached the noisy place, they saw a group of people gathered together, looking up at something. Zhao Ji smiled slightly, as if he had expected such a scene.

They pushed through the crowd and saw a tall man waving a wooden stick and explaining something to the crowd. Zhao Ji turned to the emperor and smiled, "This is a street performer. He is demonstrating a magic trick called 'center of gravity shift'."

The emperor was deeply attracted by the demonstration and couldn't help but exclaim: "This performance is really magical. How did you do it?"

Zhao Ji explained with a smile: "This magic uses the principles of vision and center of gravity. Through clever movements and layout, the audience is fooled into thinking that the weight of the prop is moving. In fact, it is achieved by changing the audience's visual focus."

Xiaoling nodded at the side, obviously also very interested in this performance: "I see, it's really amazing!"

Wang Wanru was watching all this silently, and she suddenly realized that Zhao Ji seemed to be showing his wisdom and talent to the emperor and Xiaoling through this performance. She was secretly alert in her heart, it seemed that Zhao Ji's influence on the emperor was far more than just the surface.

At this time, Zhao Ji turned his head and looked at Wang Wanru: "Miss Wang, what do you think of this performance?"

Wang Wanru forced a smile: "It's wonderful, I have never seen such a magic show."

Zhao Ji nodded, then turned to the emperor and Xiao Ling: "Although this magician is just a street performer, his wisdom and talent cannot be ignored. Just like us, no matter where we are, as long as we have enough wisdom and talent, we will definitely find our own stage in life."

In fact, Zhao Ji has always wanted the emperor to learn more, but the emperor has always been wary of Regent Zhao Ji because of Xiao Xia Zi and others.

Wang Wanru sensed that Zhao Ji wanted to subtly influence the emperor, so she immediately started making jokes.

"The flowers over there are beautiful, let's go there! It's just a slightly novel thing, just take a look, just for the novelty!"

Wang Wanru acted like a spoiled child, and the more she acted like that, the more Zhao Ji felt that there must be someone behind this woman directing her. Zhao Ji guessed that Wang Wanru must have known the emperor's identity. Although this southern tour was a secret visit, Wang Wanru's motives were not pure.

"Watch me tonight, I will force her to show her true colors!" Zhao Ji came up with a plan and prepared to deal with Wang Wanru tonight!

That night, Zhao Ji secretly lurked outside Wang Wanru's room. Seeing that the person inside was still awake, he immediately lurked in, knocked the person unconscious, and then took the person to a desolate place.

Zhao Ji planned to dress up as a ghost next. After all, no matter how scheming Wang Wanru was, she was still a weak woman. If she was placed in such a wild environment in the pitch-black night, and if she dressed up as a ghost, she would naturally be scared out of her wits!

We’ll see what truth Wang Wanru can reveal then!

In the wilderness, the night wind was bleak and the shadows of the trees were swaying. Zhao Ji brought Wang Wanru here, tied her to a big tree, and then quietly left.

As the night deepened, Wang Wanru gradually woke up. She found herself in an unfamiliar place and felt a little panic. She struggled hard and found that her hands and feet were tied, which made her even more terrified.

Suddenly, a faint cry came from the woods in the distance, which made Wang Wanru's heart beat faster. She tried to open her eyes wide to see the surrounding situation clearly, but the night was dark and she could only see some vague shadows.

A ghost in a white robe slowly walked out of the woods, its face covered in blood and its eyes flickering with a faint light. Wang Wanru was so scared that she was shaking all over. She wanted to scream, but her voice seemed to be frozen by fear and she couldn't make a sound.

The ghost slowly approached Wang Wanru, and then stopped in front of her. Wang Wanru closed her eyes tightly, she felt the ghost was looking at her, as if waiting for something.

Wang Wanru was conflicted. She wanted to stay calm, but her body was shaking uncontrollably. She knew this was Zhao Ji's plan, but she couldn't resist the fear.

The ghost blew gently in Wang Wanru's ear, and then disappeared into the night. Wang Wanru closed her eyes tightly, and she felt her body being released, and then a strong sunlight shone on her body.

She still kept her eyes closed, not daring to open them, until she heard Zhao Ji's voice: "Ms. Wang, are you okay?"

Wang Wanru slowly opened her eyes and saw Zhao Ji and Xiao Ling by her side. Her heart was filled with gratitude. She knew she had been rescued, but the fear in her heart was still hard to dissipate.

Zhao Ji looked at Wang Wanru with some heartache. He knew that the woman had been greatly frightened, so he decided to give her some time to recover.

"Ms. Wang, please take a rest first. We will accompany you." Zhao Ji said gently, then sat next to Wang Wanru.

Wang Wanru looked at Zhao Ji, her eyes full of gratitude. She knew Zhao Ji was doing this for her own good, but her heart was still filled with confusion and fear.

"Last night..." Wang Wanru opened her mouth to ask.

Zhao Ji looked at her in surprise and said, "What happened last night? I wanted to ask you this. I heard screams coming from your side early this morning, so my master and I came to see you!"

The emperor beside him nodded quickly: "Indeed, the sound was a bit loud!"

When Wang Wanru heard this, her face turned pale.

"I...I met a ghost!"

She whispered softly. Zhao Ji pretended to be shocked. The emperor was truly shocked, but there was also some disbelief in his shock.

"There are no ghosts in this world. You are just too tired. Can you take more rest?"

The emperor comforted him gently for a moment, then left.

Before leaving, Zhao Ji took a deep look at Wang Wanru, who had not yet recovered from her shock.

"Looks like one more scare is enough!"

Zhao Ji thought secretly in his heart.

That night, Zhao Ji knocked the man unconscious again and took him to the wilderness.

This time he simply dressed up as a female ghost in red.

It floated over the moment Wang Wanru opened her eyes!

“Ahhhhhh!”

The woman's scream resounded through the sky!
