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

Chapter 277 Yunwei is kidnapped
Of course, Yunwei also arranged for the treasure vault, but she sacrificed a lot of gold and silver to make it look nicer.

But it was all worth it.

By using a fake treasure, he gained the emperor's trust in Mu Tianji, which at the same time accelerated the emperor's plans to deal with Rong Zhen.

Rong Zhen had been waiting for the emperor to make the first move so that he could have a legitimate reason to oppose him. Now, the emperor felt he had enough power to confront Rong Zhen and planned to take action against him during the spring hunt.

Yun Wei collected her thoughts and suddenly looked up at Rong Zhen, "Now that this matter is over, come with me for a walk."

"Okay." Rong Zhen nodded in agreement.

"By the way, during the spring hunt, should I have someone lure Dongfang Du away?" Yun Wei suddenly asked, remembering something.

Rong Zhen said gently, "I have my own arrangements for this matter. You should take good care of your pregnancy and don't worry about anything else."

Upon hearing this, Yunwei said, "I understand, but you have to promise me you'll take good care of yourself."

"Don't worry, I've been preparing for this day for a long time, nothing will happen," Rong Zhen said softly, gazing intently out the window.

He could take his place anytime he wants.

But there has to be a legitimate reason to silence public opinion.

……

Soon, the day of the spring hunt arrived.

The emperor, accompanied by his ministers, set off in a grand procession.

Yunwei originally planned to go with him because she wanted to help Rong Zhen, but she was pregnant, and Rong Zhen refused to agree no matter what, saying that her going would only distract him.

Yunwei had no choice but to give up.

But waiting at home is agonizing.

To keep herself from overthinking, she invited Aman and the others to her residence to relieve her boredom.

At this time, Aman was also pregnant. She had been diagnosed with pregnancy last December and was now almost three months along.

Having achieved her wish, Aman's eyes were filled with the tenderness of someone about to become a mother. As soon as she met Yunwei, she started talking about children, which made Xuanyuan Jing exclaim that she couldn't stand it.

"Hey, can you guys stop talking about the kids all the time? Can you at least consider my feelings?" Xuan Yuanjing rolled her eyes.

"You should tell Lord Pei to work harder, so you can get pregnant sooner and then you can chat with us about having children," Aman teased without getting annoyed.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanjing blushed and thought to herself: Pei Qing is already quite troublesome; if she puts in a little more effort, she won't need to get out of bed.

She coughed lightly and changed the subject, saying, "The weather is nice today, let's go for a stroll in the garden."

Yunwei and Aman readily agreed.

It was springtime, and the gardens of the Prince's Palace were bursting with flowers, with bees and butterflies chasing each other, creating a scene of bright and sunny spring.

The group strolled around the garden, and when they got tired, they rested in the pavilion.

Immediately, a maid brought tea and snacks.

"How come you, a maid in the Prince's mansion, are so tall?" At this moment, Aman stared at one of the maids and asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Yunwei looked up and realized that the maid who had served tea and snacks earlier looked unfamiliar, and indeed, as Aman had said, the maid was very tall.

She didn't remember having such a maid in the Prince's mansion.

In a flash, before Yunwei could call for help, she grabbed a pastry from the plate and slammed it directly into the maid's back.

That pastry contained internal energy and was aimed at the back of the opponent's heart. If hit, the opponent would be crippled even if they didn't die.

No sooner said than done, the maid who was about to leave seemed to sense something amiss behind her, and suddenly leaped up, dodging Yun Wei's attack.

This sudden turn of events startled Aman, but Xuanyuan Jing decisively drew the whip from her waist.

"Where did this thief come from, daring to infiltrate the Prince's mansion? Surrender at once!" Xuan Yuanjing shouted, her whip lashing out like a serpent at the maid. However, the maid was also quite skilled, dodging Xuan Yuanjing's attack and managing to grab the whip.

Xuan Yuanjing was startled. It was only then that she realized that it was not a maid, but a man.

And he was an exceptionally handsome man...

Before Xuan Yuanjing could react, the man suddenly released the whip and darted toward Yun Wei like a ghost.

Yunwei was prepared and shot several silver needles at him.

However, after the silver needles were shot out, Yunwei felt something was wrong with her body.

Her internal energy was becoming somewhat stagnant, and the silver needles she shot were also off target.

Realizing what was happening, she was horrified.

The other party secretly sabotaged it!

After dodging the silver needles shot by Yun Wei, the man came to Yun Wei's side.

Yunwei struck him with her palm, but her palm strike was weak and didn't hurt or itch at all when it hit the man.

"You'd better save your energy, it's no use." The man said indifferently, reaching out to put his hand on Yun Wei's shoulder, and sighed, "Junior Sister, it's really not easy to see you."

Yunwei had now clearly seen the other person's face and was greatly surprised, but she forced herself to remain calm and asked, "Didn't you go on the spring hunt with the Emperor? Why are you here?"

The person who came was none other than Dongfang Du.

"The one who went on the spring hunt with the Emperor was someone else," Dongfang Du said unhurriedly.

"What a clever trick! You've fooled everyone," Yun Wei said coldly.

Dongfang Du laughed and said, "If I didn't do that, how could I deceive the Regent's eyes and ears?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei immediately understood, "Your goal from the very beginning has always been me?"

"Junior Sister is still as clever as ever." Dongfang Du said, tightening his grip on her shoulder blades, his voice slightly deeper, "Tell them all to step back!"

Yunwei winced in pain and looked up, only to find that the guards of the Prince's Mansion had surrounded the pavilion, but dared not make any rash moves because she was being held by Dongfang Du.

Yun Wei paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Dongfang Du, this is not Xizhou, where you can come and go as you please. You'd better release me now, or you won't be able to leave Wei."

“Junior Sister, you have been poisoned by my Jade Dew Powder, and your internal energy is now suppressed. You are no match for me at all. As for Rong Zhen, he is busy fighting with his nephew right now and has no time to save you. And your rabble of servants in the Prince’s Mansion can’t stop me at all,” Dongfang Du said calmly.

Yun Wei's heart sank, and she asked coldly, "Dongfang Du, what exactly do you want to do by taking me hostage?"

Dongfang Du did not answer directly, but said, "Tell me, should I use you to threaten Rong Zhen? Your Wei Kingdom's foolish emperor is no match for Rong Zhen at all, but if I bring you before Rong Zhen, will he give up the throne for you?"

Yun Wei sneered, "So, in the end, all you did today was to help Rong Xin?"

Dongfang Du shook his head. "Actually, it has nothing to do with me who the emperor of your Wei Kingdom is. What I want is nothing more than my master's notes. As long as my junior sister is willing to give me the notes, I will immediately release you and leave the Wei Kingdom."

"Dongfang Du, you were expelled from the sect by our master long ago. You are no longer worthy to call him master. As for the so-called notes, I have never seen them and know nothing about them." Yun Wei's voice was as cold as frost and snow.

"If you refuse to hand it over, then you'll have to come with me." After saying this, Dongfang Du grabbed Yun Wei and was about to leave when a sword suddenly stabbed from the side, blocking his way.

Dongfang Du tilted his head, his gaze sharpened, and he pinched the sword blade between two fingers.

Everyone heard a "crack" sound and saw that Dongfang Du immediately had a broken blade in his hand.

Before anyone could react, he threw the broken blade in his hand, which shot directly at Xuan Yuanjing, who had ambushed him.

Xuan Yuanjing was shocked and hurriedly dodged to the side, but she was still a step too slow, and a lock of her hair was cut off by the broken blade.

By the time everyone realized what was happening, Dongfang Du had already taken Yun Wei and leaped onto the roof.

"Dongfang Du, release our princess at once, or you will face certain death!" Sang Qing shouted angrily, and with a wave of her hand, all the archers aimed at Dongfang Du.
