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

Chapter 122 Isn't this a bit too hasty?

Without further delay, she told Ah Zheng to hitch up the carriage and head immediately to the Regent's Palace.

The Regent's Palace.

Sang Qing was quite surprised by her sudden arrival, but more than that, she was delighted. "What brings you here, County Princess? Please come in."

"Is your master in the manor?" Yunwei asked as she walked.

"Yes, he is in the study discussing matters with several officials," Sang Qing replied. After a pause, he added, "Originally, after the meeting, Master was also going to see the County Princess."

Yun Wei was somewhat surprised, "He's coming to find me?"

“Exactly.” Sang Qing nodded. “I heard that the Imperial Observatory has already calculated the date, and tomorrow is a good day for a marriage proposal.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei's lips twitched slightly.

The marriage was just arranged yesterday, and Rongzhen wants to come and propose tomorrow. Isn't that a bit too hasty?
However, she doesn't care about that right now.

"Please have some tea and snacks in the hall for a moment, Your Highness. Those officials have been here for quite a while and should be finishing up soon." Sang Qing said as she took the tea and snacks brought by the maid and placed them on the table in front of Yun Wei. "Please have some tea and snacks, Your Highness."

Yunwei nodded, picked up her teacup, and took a sip.

Sang Qing was worried that she would be bored sitting there, so she kept her company and talked to her, occasionally telling her a few things about Rong Zhen.

"...Many years ago, our master was ordered by the late emperor to go to Jiangnan on official business. He concealed his identity and stayed at the prefect's house. And guess what happened?"

Sang Qing deliberately left the conversation a mystery.

Yun Wei casually asked, "What's wrong?"

"The prefect's daughter actually took a fancy to the master. Not only did she create coincidences every time, but one day, when the master had just returned from outside and passed by a pond, she pretended to walk too fast and pounced on him, intending to throw herself into his arms."

"What?" Yun Wei frowned. "So your master didn't avoid it?"

Sang Qing quickly replied, "How could that be? When the prefect's daughter rushed over, my master saw through her intentions and not only cleverly avoided her but also tripped her up."

The poor, extremely plump daughter of the prefect fell into the pond with a splash, screaming for help.

In fact, the pool was very shallow; she could have easily stood up. But the prefect's daughter was so panicked she was completely disoriented. She didn't even realize what was happening and thought she was going to drown, so she thrashed about in the water.

Yun Wei smiled slightly, "Your master is really ruthless."

Sang Qing laughed, "Who told that prefect's daughter to do such a thing? If we don't teach her a lesson, she'll never stop. Actually, our master has always been quite popular with young ladies. Before we built our own residence, when we lived in the palace, young palace maids would fawn over our master every day..."

"It's a pity that your master was impotent back then. No matter how many girls fawned over him, he couldn't handle it," Yun Wei said slowly.

"Cough cough cough..." Sang Qing choked on his saliva. "At that time, Master's health was still good, but he didn't have that kind of mind... uh, Master."

Sang Qing's voice abruptly stopped.

Yun Wei was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and saw that Rong Zhen was standing by the door.

She blinked. When did he arrive?

Thinking about what she had just said, she felt inexplicably guilty.

"Master, your arrival is just in time. You may keep the county princess company. This servant will take his leave now." Sang Qing finished speaking quickly and slipped away.

It really scared him to death.

However, it seems that it wasn't him who spoke ill of his master, but the county princess.

What is he worried about?
Rong Zhen stepped into the living room, his handsome face revealing neither joy nor anger. After sitting down in a chair, he looked at Yun Wei and said, "If you are interested in my affairs, you can ask me."

Yun Wei: "..."

When did she become interested in his affairs?

“It was Sang Qing who insisted on telling me.” She felt she had to clarify. “In fact, I didn’t really want to hear about your romantic affairs.”

"Romantic affairs?" Rong Zhen narrowed his phoenix eyes and said, enunciating each word clearly.

Yunwei blinked her almond-shaped eyes slightly, "That's right. According to Sang Qing, wherever you go, girls throw themselves at you. Before you established your own residence, when you lived in the palace, many palace maids fawned over you."

Rong Zhen: "..."

He coughed lightly, "Don't listen to Sang Qing's nonsense, it's not true."

"Is it that you don't have it, or is Your Highness afraid to admit it?" Yunwei raised an eyebrow.

Rong Zhen laughed in anger, "Whether you admit it or not is secondary, the main thing is that you were talking badly about me behind my back just now."

Yun Wei felt a pang of guilt. "What...did I say bad things about you?"

Rong Zhen smiled faintly, "I have no interest in other women, and I certainly cannot handle them, but I believe I still have the capacity to deal with you."

Yun Wei: "..."

Realizing what she was saying, her face flushed crimson, and she stared at him in disbelief. "Hey, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"That's the truth." Rong Zhen looked at the blush on her cheeks, a smile flashing in his eyes.

Yun Wei: "..."

How could such a decent-looking man say such frivolous things?

Seeing that her face was getting redder and redder, Rong Zhen was afraid that she was really angry, so he changed the subject and asked, "Did you come to see me today for something?"

When it came to business, Yunwei calmed down. "I want to ask you something."

"What is it?" Rong Zhen asked gently.

Yun Wei considered for a moment before saying, "I would like to know what the current situation is in Yue Kingdom? I heard that Prime Minister Mu has been placed under house arrest in the palace. Is that true?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Rong Zhenjun's face, but he did not ask anything. Instead, he said, "The emperor of Yue Kingdom has always been incompetent. In pursuit of immortality, he is obsessed with alchemy and does not care about state affairs. Their court is mainly divided into two factions: one is the faction led by the Left Prime Minister Mu Tianji, and the other is the faction led by the Right Prime Minister Qi Qinglan."

The struggle between the two factions was fierce. Prime Minister Mu supported Crown Prince Xuanyuan Rui, while Qi Qinglan supported the Seventh Prince Xuanyuan Ke. However, it was clear that the Crown Prince's faction had lost, as Prime Minister Mu had been imprisoned and his family had been exiled.

Now, the entire court of the Yue Kingdom is filled with voices supporting Xuanyuan Ke, and they are just waiting for their emperor to abdicate so that Xuanyuan Ke can ascend the throne.

Although the emperor of the Moon Kingdom was obsessed with alchemy and neglected state affairs, he was also greedy for power and refused to abdicate.

Xuanyuan Ke fears unforeseen circumstances and is probably hoping for an unexpected event that will cause the Yue Kingdom's emperor to die.

Upon hearing this, Yunwei's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

What Xuanyuan Ke told her differed greatly from what Rong Zhen told her.

According to Rong Zhen, Prime Minister Mu was not under house arrest in the palace, but imprisoned in the imperial prison. Moreover, Prime Minister Mu's predicament had nothing to do with the emperor, but was a result of a scheme orchestrated by Xuan Yuan Ke and Qi Qing Lan.

"Is this all true?" Yun Wei clenched her fists. If it was true, then Xuan Yuan Ke had lied to her.
