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

Chapter 232 is really too cruel.
Empress Dowager Feng flung her hand away, pointing at her with a trembling hand, "Yunwei, how dare you lay a hand on me!"

Yunwei quickly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I didn't mean to. When I came in, I saw a figure rush into the inner hall. I thought there was an assassin who wanted to harm you. In my panic, I rushed in to save you. I didn't expect that I would accidentally injure Your Majesty. Please forgive me."

As she said this, she lowered her head, because she was about to burst out laughing.

Good heavens, Empress Dowager Feng has become bald.

This is truly unprecedented.

Without even thinking, it's obvious that Rong Zhen sent someone to do this.

That's...too mean.

Yunwei tried hard to suppress her smile.

Even without seeing her smile, Empress Dowager Feng was so angry that she was about to be enraged.

She was already feeling gloomy and annoyed because of having her head shaved, and now, Yunwei tripped and fell, making her and so many guards see her embarrassing state, which made her even angrier.

"Yunwei, you are rebellious and disrespectful to your superiors! I will punish you severely! Guards, take Princess Rong'an out and give her fifty strokes of the cane!" Empress Dowager Feng's voice was cold and harsh.

"Why are you so angry?" Just then, the Empress Dowager walked in from the outer hall. "Yunwei meant well. She thought an assassin had broken in and was going to harm you, so she acted rashly. You are angry, but you shouldn't punish her so severely. Fifty strokes of the cane would have killed her. But she did do something good but ended up offending you. I will punish her by making her copy scriptures to pray for your well-being."

Empress Dowager Feng's lips trembled slightly; she was furious.

What kind of punishment is copying scriptures?
"Alright, everything's fine here. You may all leave," the Empress Dowager instructed the imperial guards.

The guards, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, bowed and hurriedly withdrew.

"You were perfectly healthy, and suddenly you lost all your hair overnight. I hope you've caught some kind of disease." The Empress Dowager's gaze fell on Empress Feng's bald head, her face full of concern and affection.

Empress Dowager Feng felt her face burning and pinched her palms hard to control her anger. "I'm not sick. An assassin sneaked in last night."

The Empress Dowager was taken aback. "You mean to say that an assassin shaved your hair?"

"Yes," Empress Dowager Feng replied, feeling aggrieved.

"That's impossible! The palace is heavily guarded; who could come and go freely without alerting anyone?" The Empress Dowager shook her head, her face full of disbelief.

"I'm neither sick nor an assassin, so why is my hair gone?" Empress Dowager Feng said, suppressing her anger.

"I ask you, where is your hair?" the Empress Dowager asked.

Empress Dowager Feng paused, then shook her head. "I don't know either. When I woke up, my hair was gone, and it wasn't in my bedchamber either."

The Empress Dowager shrugged. "That's why I said it couldn't have been an assassin who shaved your head off. If it were an assassin, they couldn't have left not a single hair behind, could they?"

"If that wasn't an assassin, then who did it?" Empress Dowager Feng asked, frowning.

"ghost!"

Before the Empress Dowager could speak, Yun Wei suddenly said with a serious expression.

"What?" Empress Dowager Feng felt a chill run down her spine, but still forced herself to speak, "Nonsense! Where would ghosts come from in this world?"

"Empress Dowager, you may not have seen it, but that doesn't mean it's not there. Only ghosts can come and go freely without being detected. It must be that Your Majesty has committed many sins, and the ghosts have come to take revenge on you." Yun Wei said in a serious tone, and even raised her hand to rub her arms, and said to the Empress Dowager, "Have you felt a kind of eerie feeling ever since you stepped into this place?"

The Empress Dowager quickly suppressed the corners of her lips that were about to turn up, and nodded heavily. "Hearing you say that, I also feel a kind of eerie and terrifying feeling, like, like..." She paused deliberately, looking around.

"Like what?" Empress Dowager Feng felt a tightness in her heart and suddenly felt a kind of eerie feeling in the bedroom.

The Empress Dowager suddenly trembled, her eyes darting around as she said, "I see you're alright, so I won't disturb your rest any longer. You should rest well. Weiwei, let's go quickly!"

"Yes." Yunwei stepped forward, took her arm, and hurriedly walked out.

Seeing the two of them fleeing in disarray, Empress Dowager Feng could no longer hold back and rushed out as well. "Someone, quickly change my room!" Yun Wei and the Empress Dowager heard Empress Dowager Feng's scream behind them and were almost internally injured from holding back their laughter. Instead, they quickly left Cining Palace.

It wasn't until they returned to Shou Kang Palace that the two of them could no longer hold back and burst out laughing.

"Ha ha……"

The two of them laughed so hard that tears almost streamed down their faces.

Granny Lan went along too, so she naturally knew what had happened.

Thinking of Empress Dowager Feng, who had been completely fooled, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Weiwei, you're really cheeky, actually bringing up ghosts! Look how scared that Feng family member is, I bet she won't be able to sleep tonight," the Empress Dowager said, wiping away tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes.

"Isn't that what you meant? I just said it along with what you said." Yun Wei raised her hand to rub her cheeks, which were sore from laughing.

"Empress Dowager, Princess Rong'an, what are you laughing about?" Just then, Yao Zifei heard the laughter and walked in, looking curious.

Upon seeing this, the two stopped laughing.

"Zifei has arrived, please sit down." The Empress Dowager said with a kind expression.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Yao Zifei said, and sat down on a chair nearby.

Before being brought here by the Empress Dowager yesterday, she was still very nervous, but after arriving at Shou Kang Palace, she found that the Empress Dowager had no ill intentions towards her and that letting her stay here was also to help her, so she relaxed a lot.

She wasn't stupid; she knew that the Empress Dowager would never let her off the hook if she knew she was secretly pregnant with the emperor's child.

In the vast imperial palace, only the Grand Empress Dowager could control the Empress Dowager.

Now that she's moved into Shou Kang Palace, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she should be able to give birth to her child safely.

Her family was all dead, and this child was her only guarantee of survival; nothing could go wrong with her.

"Weiwei, please take this girl's pulse. I think her constitution is too weak; she probably needs proper treatment," the Empress Dowager said to Yunwei.

Yun Wei nodded and sat down next to Yao Zifei.

Yao Zifei quickly rolled up her sleeve and handed her her hand.

Yunwei glanced at her and placed her fingers on her pulse.

She is indeed pregnant.

And it's been almost two months.

Yun Wei seemed to be deep in thought, and then lowered her hand.

"Your Majesty, Yao Zifei is a bit thin, but her pulse is steady and the fetus in her womb is doing well. She doesn't need any extra supplements. She just needs to eat more and gain some weight."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager was relieved and said, "That's good."

Yao Zifei also breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Princess Rong'an."

……

As soon as Yunwei returned to the mansion, Uncle Chen came over carrying a box.

"My lord, someone has brought you a congratulatory gift."

"Who delivered it?" Yunwei asked.
