Chapter 160 nearly caused Rong Zhen to lose control

"Then I'll have someone make it for you..." Yun Wei started to say, but when she met his dark eyes, she suddenly realized that the hunger he was referring to wasn't the physical hunger she thought he meant, but rather...

Her face flushed, and she couldn't help but kick him, saying irritably, "Since when has the Regent learned to be such a scoundrel?"

Rong Zhen put his arm around her waist. "What are you thinking about? I'm really hungry."

Yunwei's heart softened. "Then I'll make you a bowl of noodles. Making noodles is quicker."

"No rush," Rong Zhen said in a low voice, pressing her against the pillar behind him. His deep gaze fell unabashedly on her rosy lips, his intentions clear.

Feeling his gaze, Yunwei's heart also stirred with emotion.

But considering that this was a corridor with no place to hide, and servants would pass by from time to time, she was worried that if she were seen, she would lose face.
Just as she hesitated, the man lowered his head and precisely captured her lips.

He had a refreshing and pleasant scent, like that of pine and bamboo.

Yunwei felt dizzy for a while. When she came to her senses, the man had already pried open her teeth and was conquering her mouth.

Yunwei, who originally wanted to push him away, unconsciously raised her hand and hugged his neck.

The sensation of their bodies mingling brought her a sense of pleasure, and she couldn't help but try to respond to him.

However, this action nearly caused Rong Zhen to lose control.

With the last shred of his sanity, he pushed the woman in his arms away slightly.

Yunwei was confused. Her almond-shaped eyes were misty with emotion, and her voice, which was usually cold, had become more charming. "Did I bite you too hard?"

Rong Zhen's anger, which he had just suppressed, suddenly flared up again.

His large hand gripped the woman's waist tightly, and he whispered hoarsely in her ear, "Don't provoke me."

Yunwei's lost rationality returned instantly. Her fair face seemed to be flushed with rosy clouds, making her incomparably beautiful, and her lips were as red as fire.

Her face flushed, she said "Oh," pushed the man away, and then said, "Go wait for me in the hall," before running away with her back to him.

Watching her slender figure flee in panic, Rong Zhen smiled bitterly. What a tormenting vixen!

When Yunwei brought a bowl of noodles to the front hall, Rong Zhen had already regained his calm and indifferent demeanor, showing no trace of the out-of-control and frenzied state he had displayed in the corridor.

His slender, fair fingers held the cup steadily as he sipped his tea, resembling a refined gentleman.

Yunwei saw it and scoffed inwardly.

If they hadn't just kissed and she hadn't witnessed his out-of-control behavior, she would have been completely fooled by his serious demeanor.

"Eat up." She placed the noodles on the table in front of him and handed him chopsticks.

Rong Zhen put down his cup, took the chopsticks from her hand, looked at the large bowl of noodles in front of him, paused, and said to her, "I can't eat this much. Why don't you eat with me?"

"Aren't you hungry? Eat more." Yunwei sat down beside him, resting her chin on her hand and looking at him.

Rong Zhen: "..."

"Think of the people of Yangzhou, the Regent must not waste them." Yun Wei's almond-shaped eyes flashed with a smile as she added slowly.

What could Rong Zhen say? He could only bury his head in his food and eat.

He felt that he had never eaten such a big bowl of noodles before, when he was in the army.

But knowing that Yunwei had cooked it for him herself, he couldn't bear to waste a single bit.

Seeing him eat noodles with gusto, Yunwei sighed inwardly, "No wonder he's from royalty. His manners and eating habits are beyond what ordinary people can match."

When Rong Zhen finished eating his noodles and was about to look up, Yun Wei calmly shifted her gaze, pretending to look at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

Rong Zhen put down his chopsticks. "The noodles are delicious."

Yunwei turned her gaze back, her almond-shaped eyes filled with smiles. "I'm glad the Regent enjoys it." Rong Zhen paused. "It's delicious, but next time, Princess, you don't need to cook so much. Thank you." He resisted the urge to reach for his stomach and said seriously.

Yunwei glanced at him and said, "It's because you have a small appetite. You're so thin, if you don't eat more, it will be too uncomfortable."

Rong Zhen: "..."

He subconsciously looked down and checked his body.

After a while, he concluded, "Perhaps I've lost some weight due to the busy work in Yangzhou. I'll recover in a few days. I'm usually quite strong."

Yunwei suppressed a laugh, stood up, picked up the empty bowl, and nodded, saying, "Then Your Highness should eat more. I like men to be strong."

Rong Zhen frowned, "Actually, being too strong isn't good either..."

“But being stronger…” Yun Wei coughed lightly, glancing back at him, “would make you more powerful.”

Rong Zhen was stunned.

By the time he realized what she meant, she had already slipped away with the empty bowl.

Rong Zhenjun's face flushed red. This woman...

Sang Qing waited outside the door for a long time before seeing his master come out. But his usually dignified and aloof handsome face was now completely red.

"Master, are you feeling unwell?" Sang Qing stepped forward and asked with concern.

"No." Rong Zhen's voice was somewhat stiff.

Before Sang Qing could ask any more questions, he had already gone straight to the carriage.

Sang Qing was completely baffled.

As soon as he sat on the carriage shaft, he heard his master's somewhat unnatural voice coming from inside, "From today onwards, have the kitchen prepare more food for me, and remind me to eat on time for each of my three meals a day."

Eh?
Sang Qing was surprised.

Did the sun rise from the west today?
My master, who has always eaten irregularly and doesn't care much about food, actually asked for extra meals and even asked me to remind him to eat on time.

Why has the master become so strange after meeting the county princess?
Thinking of this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

So, is the master acting so strangely because the county princess thinks he's too thin?

Sang Qing suppressed a laugh as he drove back to the Regent's Palace.

……

Yunwei was unaware of Rong Zhen and his servant's reaction. After Rong Zhen left, she gave a few instructions to Xuan Yuanjing and the other two, then took A Zheng out and went to Qianjin Hall.

Upon arriving at Qianjintang, she summoned Steward Ding and several doctors to discuss the matter of providing free medical care for the disaster victims in Yangzhou.

Meanwhile, in the Moon Kingdom's royal palace.

The Emperor of Yue Kingdom ordered Mu Tianji, who was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, to be brought to the palace.

"Mu Tianji, I will ask you one more time, where is Wang Wei now?" The Emperor of Yue Kingdom asked with a gloomy expression.

No matter how much he pressed Mu Tianji, that old scoundrel, refused to reveal any clues about Wang Wei.

Mu Tianji felt helpless when he brought up the old matter again. "No matter how many times Your Majesty asks, I will still give the same answer. I really don't know where my junior sister is now."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Yue lost his patience and grabbed Mu Tianji's collar in a fit of rage. "Mu Tianji, you should know why I have kept you alive until now. Don't provoke my patience any longer, or not only you, but your entire Mu clan will be destroyed because of your stubbornness."

Why do you need to hide Wang Wei's whereabouts?

As long as you reveal her whereabouts, I will immediately release you without charge, and I will also issue an edict to recall your family.

Don't you want to reunite with your family?
I remember your youngest granddaughter is only a few years old. Can you bear to let her die in the desert?
