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

Chapter 123 Rong Zhen: You are my fiancée

“Yes, it’s true.” Rong Zhen nodded. “These are reports from our spies planted in the Moon Kingdom.”

Upon hearing this, Yunwei had no more doubts.

In fact, all countries will place spies in other countries in order to keep track of their movements as soon as possible.

That's why she came directly to Rong Zhen to ask him.

As the regent, he naturally knew more about the movements of other countries than others, so asking him would save her the trouble of finding someone else to investigate.

In order to conceal her whereabouts over the years, she had long since severed her ties with the Moon Kingdom, and naturally had no idea what had happened there.

In fact, if it weren't for Senior Brother Mu's accident, she wouldn't have wanted to know about the affairs of the Moon Kingdom.

But she couldn't just sit idly by while her senior brother Mu and his family got into trouble.

Now that she had found out everything, she didn't plan to stay any longer and stood up, saying, "I understand, thank you."

Rong Zhen frowned at her. "Do we need to be so polite between us?" He paused, then emphasized, "My fiancée."

Yunwei's eyelashes trembled slightly. "We're not officially engaged yet. If Your Highness calls me that, people will laugh at us."

"Although we're not officially engaged yet, the Emperor has already issued an imperial decree bestowing our marriage upon us. Everyone in the world knows we're betrothed, so who would laugh at us? Besides, I'll be taking people to the Yun family tomorrow to formally propose marriage." Rong Zhen paused here, then asked, "To the Yun family, right?"

Yun Wei thought for a moment and nodded, "Mm."

Rong Zhen felt relieved.

He knew about her relationship with the Yun family. If she felt it was unnecessary to go to the Yun family, then he wouldn't go.

"I'm leaving," Yun Wei said.

Rong Zhen stood up and took her hand, his gaze scrutinizing her expression. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? You've only been here a little while. It's almost noon. Have some lunch before you go."

Yunwei looked down at his hand holding hers, feeling a little uncomfortable.

I could only sense that his movements were becoming more and more skillful.

"I still have things to take care of?"

Rong Zhen paused for a moment, then asked, "Is that Mu Tianji very important to you?"

Yunwei looked at him in surprise, "Why did you ask that?"

Rong Zhen released her hand. "When you asked about him just now, you looked worried."

Yun Wei paused for a moment, then did not deny it, "He is my senior brother."

Rong Zhen was taken aback. "Your senior brother?"

"Yes." Yun Wei nodded. Now that things had come to this point, she didn't intend to hide anything anymore. "I'm going to the Moon Kingdom to rescue my senior brother and his family."

"How do you plan to save them?" Rong Zhen didn't stop him, but asked slowly.

Yunwei was stunned.

Rong Zhen then asked, "Did Xuan Yuan Ke tell you about your Senior Brother Mu's matter?"

Yunwei hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Yes."

"Your Senior Brother Mu's affairs are inextricably linked to him, yet he told you about them. What is his purpose? Or does he want you to do something for him?" Rong Zhen frowned.

Yunwei looked at him with some surprise.

It seems like nothing can be hidden from this man.

As she hesitated whether to speak, Rong Zhen suddenly said, "Does Xuan Yuan Ke want you to assassinate the Emperor of Yue? So that he can clear your senior brother Mu's name after he ascends the throne?"

Yunwei no longer wanted to speak.

After all, he had already guessed everything.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Rong Zhen frowned and said, "Are you really planning to assassinate the Emperor of Yue?"

Yunwei said, "The Emperor of Yue Kingdom is incompetent and tyrannical. Killing him is no big deal." "Do you think the Emperor of Yue Kingdom is so easy to kill? If it were that easy, why would Xuanyuan Ke have waited until now? He clearly wants to use you."

“I know, but Senior Brother Mu has been kind to me, and now that he is in trouble, I can’t just ignore him.” Yun Wei frowned.

Even when she found out that Xuan Yuan Ke had lied to her, she knew that he just wanted to use her. If the assassination succeeded, that would be good, but if it failed, he could extricate himself from the situation and even use the incident to win the favor of the Yue Kingdom's emperor.

After all these years, the Emperor of the Moon Kingdom has been searching for her.

If he were to offer her to the Emperor of the Moon Kingdom, the Emperor would surely reward him.

Xuanyuan Ke is very cunning.

“If you trust me, leave your Senior Brother Mu’s matter to me. I will negotiate with the Yue Kingdom and guarantee that your Senior Brother Mu and his family will be released without charge,” Rong Zhen said.

Yun Wei was taken aback. "You're going to help me?"

Rong Zhen smiled and said, "Isn't it right to help one's fiancée? Besides, Mu Tianji is a talented man. If he could come to Wei, it would be a good thing for Wei."

“But if we do this, Wei will inevitably have to pay a price.” Yunwei had some concerns.

"Trust me, you won't have to pay any price. However, I'm afraid I'll need you to make some colorless and odorless poison in the next few days. Can you do that?" Rong Zhen asked.

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei vaguely knew what he was going to do, and nodded, "Mm."

"Okay, you can go back now. I'll handle this." Rong Zhen said, patting her shoulder.

Once outside the Regent's Palace, Yunwei suddenly came to her senses.

Why did she follow Rong Zhen's arrangements?
Her brows furrowed.

However, she didn't dwell on it for too long. Instead, she went to Qianjin Pavilion, got the necessary medicinal materials, and returned to Qingyi Garden to make poison.

On the other side, Rong Zhen sent someone to invite Xuan Yuan Ke.

Upon entering the Regent's Palace, Xuanyuan Ke was still somewhat confused. "I wonder what business the Regent has with me?"

Rong Zhen cut to the chase: "I want to make a deal with you."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Ke became somewhat wary. "I don't quite understand."

"What you want, I can help you get, but on the condition that you clear Mu Tianji's name and release him and his family. Can you do that?" Rong Zhen said calmly.

Xuanyuan Ke was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Your words, Regent, are too vague. How can I believe you?"

“Since you are not in the Moon Kingdom now, if something happens to your Emperor, it won’t be your fault. When you return, you can take advantage of the situation and ascend the throne immediately,” Rong Zhen said unhurriedly.

"What I'm curious about is how the Regent plans to cause an accident to my father?" Xuan Yuanke asked with interest.

Rong Zhen glanced at him. "I have my own way. However, you should write a letter back now and order someone to release Mu Tianji and his family without charge."

Xuanyuan Ke frowned. "But how can I trust you?"

"Whether you believe it or not is your business. After all, if this drags on, the throne that you have so easily obtained may be snatched away by someone else. No matter how talented you are, don't forget that you have a younger brother who is highly trusted by His Majesty of your country."

You said that His Majesty has been slow to appoint you as Crown Prince. Does he actually have other plans in mind?

Rong Zhen's words hit Xuan Yuan Ke's sore spot.

Hatred and resentment flashed in his eyes.

Among his father's sons, he was the most capable. However, in his early years, because of his mother's lowly status, he never had the opportunity to prove himself. Now that he had finally defeated the crown prince, his father, for some reason, had not yet made him the heir apparent.

On the contrary, the eleventh brother, whose maternal family was of noble birth, was deeply loved by their father.

He also worried that the throne he had been striving for for so long might eventually fall into the hands of his eleventh brother.

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I can release Mu Tianji's family first, but Mu Tianji can only be released after the matter is settled. What does the Regent think?"

“Okay.” Rong Zhen nodded.
