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

Chapter 273 It Will Be As You Wish

Yu Shu clenched her fingers tightly. After a long while, she finally calmed herself down and said, "I came here today only to remind Miss Xu that the Yun family and the Regent are in cahoots. As the future Empress of Wei, shouldn't Miss Xu keep her distance from her?"

"Who I get close to is none of your business," Xu Yanyan said unhappily.

Yu Shu wasn't angry. She said meaningfully, "Miss Xu, please don't be angry. I'm doing this for your own good. You should know that the Emperor and the Regent are only being polite on the surface. Sooner or later, they will... Miss Xu is a smart person and should understand what I mean. Please don't be used by others."

That's all I have to say; I'll take my leave now.

After saying that, she really turned around and left.

Her main purpose in coming to the Xu family to find Xu Yanyan was to sow discord between Xu Yanyan and Yun Wei.

If Xu Yanyan had any sense at all, after listening to what she said, she would definitely keep her distance from Yun Wei from now on.

Watching Yu Shu walk away, Xu Yanyan frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed her brow.

Of course she knew that one day the emperor and the regent would likely clash on the battlefield, but given the emperor's incompetence, she thought it would be quite good if the regent could take his place.

At least since the regent began ruling, everything he has done has been for the good of the country and the people.

She didn't care who was emperor; as long as that emperor did good things for the people, he was a good emperor.

Having figured this out, she felt relieved and the next day went to the Regent's Palace to visit Yunwei as promised.

"Miss, Miss Xu has arrived." Tian'er carried a basin of water into Yunwei's room.

Yunwei had been rather lazy and sleeping soundly these past few days because of her period. She didn't even notice when Rongzhen went to court. She only woke up when she heard Tian'er's voice.

She turned to look outside, saw that it was still early, and muttered, "Why is she here so early?"

Tian'er shook her head, not knowing, but she was quite surprised because Xu Yanyan had really arrived too early.

Even though Yunwei wanted to sleep a lot, she got up when guests arrived.

After washing up and changing, Yunwei asked Tian'er to invite Xu Yanyan over for breakfast.

When Xu Yanyan arrived, she saw the breakfast laid out on the table and realized that she had arrived too early.

"I ate before I came," Xu Yanyan said, then added somewhat awkwardly after thinking for a moment, "I didn't know you weren't up yet."

Yunwei said helplessly, "Miss, it's only 5 a.m. now."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yanyan said somewhat embarrassedly, "I always get up at 3:45 AM every day, assuming everyone else does the same..."

Tian'er asked in surprise, "Why is Miss Xu up so early?"

"It's not very early. Every morning after I get up, I practice martial arts for a while first," Xu Yanyan explained.

"I'm late." Yun Wei nodded, then pointed to the chair opposite her and said, "You got up so early and practiced kung fu, so you're burning through your energy quickly. Eat some more, just to keep me company."

Xu Yanyan was about to decline, but after hearing what she said, she didn't stand on ceremony anymore and sat down directly.

"...After we parted ways yesterday, Yu Shu suddenly came to my house looking for me," Xu Yanyan said while eating.

"What does she want from you?" Yun Wei asked casually as she sipped her bird's nest porridge.

Xu Yanyan paused for a moment before looking up at her. "Yu Shu is probably trying to sow discord between us."

Yunwei wasn't very surprised. Yesterday at Wangyue Tower, seeing Xu Yanyan getting close to her, Yu Shu must have been unable to contain herself.

What did she say to you?

Xu Yanyan lowered her voice and repeated everything Yu Shu had said yesterday.

Upon hearing this, Yunwei raised an eyebrow slightly.

But when she thought about how Xu Yanyan had come to see her today, she knew that she hadn't been affected by what Yu Shu had said.

However, she still asked, "Don't you care about what Yu Shu said?"

Xu Yanyan put down her chopsticks and said seriously, "To be honest, I actually quite hope that the Regent can... take his place."

She lowered her voice when she said the last few words.

Yun Wei was startled, but said nonchalantly, "Don't talk nonsense."

“I’m telling the truth. If that day ever comes, I will definitely stand on your side, but…” Xu Yanyan paused, then suddenly stood up and sat down next to her, whispering in her ear, “Could you talk to the Regent and ask me to go to the border to help my father guard it?” Yun Wei looked at her scrutinizingly upon hearing this.

This girl may seem carefree, but she is actually quite perceptive and thoughtful, and it's rare to find someone with such lofty aspirations as protecting her country.

"If that day ever comes, it will be as you wish." After a long pause, Yun Wei said calmly.

Although she didn't explicitly promise anything, Xu Yanyan was content with just those words.

"Yes." She nodded emphatically, her previous uncertainty about the future replaced by hope.

After breakfast, Xu Yanyan suggested, "Shall we go to the training ground and practice?"

Yun Wei: "..."

She used her period as an excuse to avoid the competition with Xu Yanyan last time, but today she really is menstruating and can no longer use that excuse.

Fortunately, Xuanyuan Jing and Aman arrived.

Upon seeing Xuan Yuanjing, Xu Yanyan dragged her to the Wangfu's training ground.

Yunwei breathed a sigh of relief.

Aman asked curiously, "Isn't Xu Yanyan getting married soon? Why isn't she at home preparing? Why is she running around everywhere? Didn't the palace send a tutor to teach her manners?"

"They must have sneaked out," Yun Wei said.

Xu Yanyan knows martial arts; how could a few instructors possibly keep an eye on her?

Upon hearing this, Aman couldn't help but laugh and said, "If that's the case, the Xu family must be searching for her everywhere right now, but they would never have imagined that she would actually come to the Regent's Palace."

Hearing her say that, Yunwei suddenly understood why Xu Yanyan had come to the Regent's Palace at dawn.

So it was to avoid those teaching matrons.

"Your Highness, how should we prepare the lamb?"

At this moment, a servant came over to ask for instructions.

Yunwei invited three people to the Prince's Mansion as guests, so yesterday she sent Azheng to Qixia Horse Farm to catch two sheep.

Upon hearing the servant's request, Yunwei said, "Just roast it."

"Yes." The servant received the instruction and left.

Aman swallowed hard. "I haven't had roasted whole lamb in ages."

"Then eat more later," Yunwei said with a smile.

The two chatted for a while before heading to the drill ground.

The drill ground of the Prince's Palace was very large.

When the two arrived, Xuan Yuanjing and Xu Yanyan were already locked in a fierce battle.

Aman was deeply impressed. "These two girls are truly remarkable."

Yun Wei nodded. "Not bad."

However, compared to Xu Yanyan, Xuan Yuanjing is still slightly inferior.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Xuanyuan Jing was defeated.

As for her repeated defeats to Xu Yanyan, Xuan Yuanjing was not discouraged; on the contrary, she seemed to become more and more courageous.

"Next time, I'm sure I can beat you," Xuan Yuanjing declared before she could even catch her breath.

"I'm waiting for you to defeat me," Xu Yanyan said cheerfully, without any anger.

"The Regent and Lord Pei are back." At this moment, Aman saw the people at the entrance of the training ground and said in surprise.

Before she could finish speaking, Xuan Yuanjing said, "Don't say I was here," and then ran away.

Yunwei and Aman looked at each other, wondering what was going on.
Every time that girl confronted Pei Qing, Pei Qing was the one who ran away first, but this time it was the other way around, which was really puzzling.
