The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 121 is just too good to read!
Rong Xin collected her thoughts and said, "For the sake of the bigger picture, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you, Mother."

"What do you mean?" the Empress Dowager asked, puzzled.

"I know that Your Majesty has been humiliated by what happened today, but Your Majesty must not do anything to Yunwei for the time being," Rong Xin said in a deep voice.

The Empress Dowager was very displeased upon hearing this, "Even you are protecting her?"

Rong Xin said helplessly, "Of course not. Your subject just feels that the Imperial Uncle is a man of unfathomable depth and has almost no weaknesses. It will not be easy to take back power from him, but now, it seems that he has a weakness."

"Weakness? You mean the Yun family?" The Empress Dowager asked with disdain.

"Mm." Rong Xin nodded.

The Empress Dowager was very unhappy.

Aside from being a bit younger, Yun looked quite ordinary.

Moreover, Yun had been married before and was already a withered flower, so how could she be Rong Zhen's weakness?
However, for some hidden reason, she did not refute her son's words.

"how do you want to do it?"

"Mother, tomorrow send some gifts to her and try to build a good relationship with her. Once she lowers her guard against you, then summon her to the palace to accompany you to admire the flowers," Rong Xin said slowly.

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager understood his intention: "You want to use me to lure her into the palace, then imprison her to threaten your uncle?"

Rong Xin did not answer immediately. After a moment of silence, he nodded. "Yes. This is the fastest method I can think of. If I win this gamble, I will be able to seize power."

The Empress Dowager shook her head. "Your imperial uncle is a cold-hearted and ruthless man. How could he possibly relinquish power for a woman? Emperor, you are too naive."

"Regardless, it's one method, so there's no harm in giving it a try." Rong Xin frowned.

Seeing his insistence, the Empress Dowager had no choice but to say, "Whatever the Emperor wants to do, I will support him."

Rong Xin was relieved. "Thank you, Mother."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand, "There's no need for such formalities between mother and son."

The next day.

Yunwei was deeply surprised when she received the gifts sent by the Empress Dowager.

After what happened yesterday, she thought the Empress Dowager would not let it go and would definitely cause her more trouble.

Unexpectedly, what awaited him was her reward.

After seeing off the palace servants who had brought the rewards, Yunwei looked on incredulously.

Could it be that the Empress Dowager's brain was damaged by that wine?
Before she could sort out her thoughts, another guest arrived.

"My lord, there are two men outside who claim to be the prince and princess of the Moon Kingdom requesting an audience," Chen Bobing reported.

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei frowned slightly.

How did they find their way here?
“Just say I’m not here,” Yunwei said.

Chen Bo hesitated for a moment, "That prince also said that Mu Tianji is currently a guest at the Yue Kingdom's palace."

Yun Wei's pupils contracted, and she clenched her fists. After a long while, she said calmly, "Please let them in."

When Xuanyuan Ke and his sister Xuanyuan Jing entered, Yun Wei was sitting upright in a chair drinking tea.

"Sister Yunwei?" Xuanyuan Jing was taken aback when she saw her, and then called out uncertainly.

Yun Wei raised her eyes and glanced at her, "Your Highness, Princess of Yue Kingdom, please call me Princess Rong'an."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanjing was not annoyed at all. Instead, she smiled and ran up to her, giving her a thorough once-over.

"I never knew the county princess was so beautiful. I was so fooled by you."

Yun Wei said calmly, "Please sit down."

"Okay, sure." Xuan Yuanjing obediently sat down in the seat next to her.

She loves looking at beautiful women.

Especially since Yun Wei is such a beautiful woman with high martial arts skills, it's impossible not to look at her enough. Yun Wei ignored her and instead raised her eyes to look at Xuan Yuan Ke.

Unlike Xuan Yuanjing's surprise, Xuan Yuanke showed no surprise whatsoever when he saw her.

"It's been a long time, Miss Wang." Xuan Yuan Ke's lips curled slightly when he saw her gaze on him.

"What Miss Wang? No, you two know each other?" Xuan Yuanjing looked at the two of them in surprise.

Xuanyuan Ke did not answer, but said, "Royal sister, why don't you go and stroll around the county princess's garden? I have something to say to her."

"No, please." Xuan Yuanjing refused; she hadn't had enough of the beauty yet.

"Listen to me." Xuan Yuan Ke emphasized.

Xuanyuan Jing reluctantly got up, but kept turning back to Yun Wei, saying, "I won't go far. If my brother tries to bully you, just shout and I'll come to your rescue."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Ke raised his hand to rub his temples and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xuanyuan Jing stuck out her tongue and quickly ran away.

After she left, the hall fell silent.

Xuanyuan Ke paused for a moment, and seeing that Yun Wei did not intend to invite him to sit down, he could only find a seat himself.

“I never expected that you would hide in the State of Wei.” Xuan Yuan Ke broke the silence.

"I am originally from the State of Wei," Yun Wei said calmly.

Xuanyuan Ke smiled wryly, "Yesterday in the palace, I thought it was you, but I was a little afraid to recognize you."

"Enough with the nonsense, what have you done to my senior brother?" Yun Wei didn't want to exchange pleasantries and asked directly.

Xuanyuan Ke paused for a moment before saying, "Actually, apart from lacking freedom, Prime Minister Mu is doing quite well in other aspects."

“You’ve all put him under house arrest, how can he possibly get better?” Yun Wei’s emotions were slightly agitated.

Xuan Yuan Ke said solemnly, "I will do my best to protect him, you don't need to worry."

"Is it because of me that my senior brother was placed under house arrest?" Yun Wei asked coldly.

Xuanyuan Ke sighed, "It is indeed related to you. Over the years, my father has never given up looking for you, but despite sending out so many people, he has not been able to find any clues about you. This time, my father lost patience, and with the instigation of the Right Chancellor, he placed Prime Minister Mu under house arrest in the palace in order to find out your whereabouts from him."

Yunwei looked at him scrutinizingly, "Why are you telling me all this?"

"I didn't want to say it either, but if I don't, will you see me?" Xuan Yuan Ke said helplessly.

Yunwei shook her head, "You're telling me all this for a different purpose."

Xuanyuan Ke chuckled, "What purpose could I possibly have?"

"Your goal is the throne," Yunwei said, emphasizing each word.

Xuanyuan Ke raised an eyebrow. "So?"

"You want me to assassinate the emperor?" Yunwei looked at him sharply.

Xuan Yuan Ke smiled slightly, not denying it. "Although Prime Minister Mu was only placed under house arrest, his entire family was exiled to the desolate wilderness. It is said that his youngest granddaughter is only five years old this year. I wonder if she can survive in such a harsh and cold place."

"Snapped!"

The cup in Yunwei's hand instantly turned into dust.

Xuanyuan Ke smiled and said calmly, "If I ascend the throne, I will definitely exonerate the Mu family. I will recall them all and reinstate Prime Minister Mu to his original position. Think it over carefully." With that, he got up and left.

When Xuanyuan Jing saw him come out, she wanted to go back in, but he stopped her, saying, "Princess Rong'an has things to take care of. Don't disturb her. You can come to visit her in a couple of days."

Xuan Yuanjing looked at him suspiciously. "Did you make her angry and that's why you were kicked out?"

Xuanyuan Ke chuckled, "You're overthinking it. Let's go." With that, he pulled her along and they walked away.

Inside the hall, Yunwei's face was etched with worry.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!
