Chapter 189 Not close to women
After a moment, Yunwei withdrew her hand and smiled, "It's nothing serious. It's just that Your Highness has too much internal heat, which caused the nosebleed. I'll prescribe some medicine to clear the heat and calm your mind."

Rong Zhen: "..."

Seeing that she didn't attribute his nosebleed to her, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Sang Qing also breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that he's alright. Then please, Your Highness, prescribe some medicine for your master so that I can get it."

"Okay." Yunwei stood up.

Sang Qing immediately brought out a brush and ink.

Yunwei picked up her pen and wrote a prescription.

Sang Qing took the prescription and went to get the medicine herself.

Once everyone else was out of the room, Yunwei began to examine Rong Zhen's bedroom.

This was the first time she had set foot in his private space.

The space is large, and its simplicity exudes luxury, which is very much in line with his status.

"After marriage, you can live here or in Qingxue Courtyard."

Just then, a man's voice sounded from behind him.

Yunwei paused, turned to look at him, and suddenly said something out of the ordinary, "Has Your Highness... never seen a woman's body before?"

Rong Zhen was taken aback.

Realizing what was happening, a blush spread across his handsome face.

He turned his head away, avoiding her gaze, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Why would I want to look at another woman's body for no reason?"

Yunwei stared at the blush spreading across his face and suddenly realized that this man was incredibly innocent.

He was clearly the regent of a country, able to have any woman he wanted, yet his private life was so pure and innocent that he would even get a nosebleed at the sight of a woman's body.

Although he had been poisoned and was unable to have sex.

However, some men vent their frustrations on women, wantonly toying with and humiliating them.

But Rong Zhen did not.

When she first met him, she couldn't detect even a trace of despondency or gloom in him.

He truly deserves to be called a gentleman.

"Yes, Your Highness is a virtuous gentleman and would naturally disdain such lewd acts." Yunwei nodded slowly.

Rong Zhen paused, feeling somewhat embarrassed as he recalled his earlier outburst in her room.

"I... didn't know you were taking a bath, so I entered your inner room without permission." He couldn't help but offer an explanation for his rude behavior.

"It's nothing, it's not like it's the first time you've been in my private room." Yun Wei shook her head, not minding at all, after all, the two of them were already discussing marriage. "By the way, did you suddenly come back? Is there something you need?"

Speaking of this matter, Rong Zhen said seriously, "I just remembered, I haven't asked you about your trip to the Yun family yet. What were the results of the autopsy?"

It turned out to be because of this matter.

Yunwei said, "According to the coroner's examination results, Yun Yao and her servant died at 3:45 PM last night. At that time, I was in the county magistrate's mansion and had already gone back to my room to sleep. Before going to bed, I was drinking tea in your study and told Lord Liu about the situation."

Lord Liu also believes that I am not the murderer and has promised to issue a notice to clarify my case.

However, the most urgent task is to find the murderer; otherwise, it won't be convincing, and the person behind it will surely use this opportunity to incite the public.

Rong Zhen nodded. "I've already had my men stake out various places in the capital. If anyone starts inciting trouble, they'll be arrested. We just brought back a group, but those people are just doing things for money; we didn't even see who their employers were."

Yun Wei frowned. "Who exactly is the person behind this?" Rong Zhen thought of something and asked, "When you led people to look for Yun Yao last time, was there any place you didn't go?"

“I’ve searched all the places in the capital that I could think of, but there are still some areas in the outskirts of the capital that I haven’t searched. I’ve marked them on a map, and I’ll go get them for you to see,” Yunwei said.

“Okay.” Rong Zhen nodded. “After you get the topographical map, come to my study. I’ll be waiting for you there.”

"Mm." Yun Wei nodded.

Rong Zhen changed his clothes and went to his study, just as the people from the Imperial Observatory arrived.

It was said that the Regent had invited them, so both the Chief Supervisor and the Deputy Supervisor came.

"I wonder why the Regent has summoned us?" the two asked respectfully.

"Let's see if there are any auspicious days for marriage recently. I wish to marry Princess Rong'an," Rong Zhen said directly.

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, and then the supervisor replied, "Reporting to the Regent, there is an auspicious day for marriage at the end of this month, and the celestial phenomena on that day are also exceptionally favorable, but the timing may be a bit rushed."

"What day was it?" Rong Zhen asked.

“It was the 28th,” the supervisor replied.

It's only the beginning of the month, so if we start making preparations now, we still have more than twenty days.

Although it was somewhat rushed, Rong Zhen was so eager to marry Yun Wei that he made the decision, "Then let's set it for the 28th of this month."

The two officials from the Imperial Observatory were somewhat surprised.

Why is the Regent in such a hurry to marry Princess Rong'an?
Even ordinary people need a lot of time to prepare for their weddings, let alone royalty. And how could a regent, with such a noble status, be so hasty?
The supervisor couldn't help but say, "Actually, there's an auspicious day next month; the Regent might consider it."

“No need, the 28th of this month is fine,” Rong Zhen said.

Upon hearing this, the supervisor muttered to himself.

The Regent is in such a hurry to marry Princess Rong'an, could it be that she's pregnant?
If that's the case, then I can understand.

The supervisor thought he had figured out the situation and was secretly amazed.

Rumors circulated that the regent was celibate, but it now seems that such rumors should not be taken seriously.

When Yunwei arrived with the topographical map, the two officials from the Imperial Observatory had already left.

She spread out the topographic map and placed it on Rong Zhen's desk.

This topographical map was meticulously drawn by Rong Zhen after he had people conduct on-site inspections. It is very detailed, listing all the hills, large and small, as well as the manors and villas of high-ranking officials and nobles.

Of course, only Rong Zhen had this kind of topographic map.

Rong Zhen looked at the places Yun Wei had marked that hadn't been found yet and said, "If I remember correctly, these places belong to the Ding family, the Liu family, the Xu family, and the Feng family, respectively."

"The Feng family?" Yun Wei was taken aback. "Is the Feng family the maternal family of Empress Dowager Feng?"

"Mm." Rong Zhen nodded.

"The Feng family's villa is actually among them, and these are precisely the places I haven't searched." Yun Wei said thoughtfully, "So, could the person behind this be related to the Feng family?"

Among the people she offended was someone surnamed Feng.

And coincidentally, the Feng family was among the few households she hadn't looked for.

Is this a coincidence, or is the matter truly related to the Feng family?

She had offended Empress Dowager Feng and Feng Yin, neither of whom were kind people. She felt that they were capable of killing Yun Yao and framing her.

Rong Zhen paused for a moment, then nodded. "What you said makes sense. I'll send people to search these houses right now and see what's hidden there, and whether the murderer is hiding among them."
