Chapter 281 He will make Rong Zhen fail here.

Dongfang Du choked for a moment, but seeing that she wasn't going to eat anymore, he didn't force her. "Would you like some water?"

Yunwei nodded.

Dongfang Du unscrewed the stopper of the water bag and brought it to her lips.

Yunwei took a sip and then stopped drinking.

"You should rest well," Dongfang Du said, then turned and got off the carriage.

Yunwei got a clear look at the outside environment as he opened the door.

They were in a desolate wilderness.

If she could get out, she could find the antidote for Jade Dew Powder.

Unfortunately, she couldn't move, and Dongfang Du would never let her out.

Yunwei seemed to be deep in thought.

The crabapple tree, which had been lying in wait in the distance, became extremely anxious when it saw Dongfang Du leap onto the roof of the carriage and lie down on it.

She had originally planned to sneak over and rescue Yunwei while they were asleep.

She originally had a good chance of winning, after all, Dongfang Du only brought one subordinate.

However, Dongfang Du is currently lying on the roof of the car, and when she goes to rescue Yun Wei, she might alert him.

I wonder what Dongfang Du's strength is, and whether she can beat him.
Feng Huai lay on the grass beside her, his hands behind his head. Seemingly understanding what she was thinking, he suddenly spoke up: "You are no match for Dongfang Du. It is impossible for you to rescue Yun Wei from under his nose."

"What should we do then?" Haitang asked instinctively.

Feng Huai curled the corners of his lips. "You're asking me?"

Haitang then realized what was happening, pursed her lips, and remained silent.

Feng Huai suddenly seemed to take a closer look at her, and said with a half-smile, "Haitang, why don't you beg me? Maybe I can help you."

"Forget it," Haitang refused without hesitation.

Feng Huai wasn't angry. Instead, he said good-naturedly, "Actually, I do have a way, but since you don't appreciate it, then forget it. Anyway, Yunwei has nothing to do with me, and saving her won't benefit me."

"Even if you have a good plan, I don't need your help to rescue her. You have no good intentions at all; you still want to steal the princess's treasure map." Haitang bluntly exposed his intentions.

Feng Huai choked for a moment, then reached up and touched his nose. "You can't say that. If we don't save Yun Wei, the treasure map on her body will inevitably fall into Dongfang Du's hands. So rather than letting it go to someone from another country, it's better to let it go to me. Don't you think so?"

Haitang was shocked by his shamelessness. "Why should I let you off easy? You're not the only one in Wei."

“You can have it cheap.” Feng Huai raised an eyebrow and said leisurely.

Haitang didn't want to waste any more words with him, so she shut her mouth and kept her eyes fixed on the movements ahead.

She planned to sneak over and rescue the person after Dongfang Du fell asleep.

As for Dongfang Du's subordinates, she didn't take them seriously.

"Don't even think about it tonight. You won't be able to save anyone, and you'll only expose yourself. You should take advantage of the time now and get some sleep to replenish your energy so you can continue following them tomorrow," Feng Huai said again.

Haitang frowned. She was worried that if she failed to save anyone, she might expose herself and all her efforts would be in vain.

She was alone, and if she were exposed, she would no longer be able to save Yunwei.

However, the people of the Regent's Palace should be searching for Yun Wei at this moment. It's just a pity that she doesn't know the Regent's Palace's contact information, otherwise she could have left marks for them along the way.

"If you don't want to sleep, then keep watch for me and make sure no insects or snakes crawl on me," Feng Huai suddenly said. Haitang snapped out of her reverie, glanced at him sideways, and said, "Dream on." Then she lay down on the ground.

Feng Huai's eye twitched slightly; this girl was getting more and more audacious.

He pulled up his cloak and wrapped himself up.

After a while, he opened his eyes again and looked at the girl curled up next to him. He paused, took off his cloak, and gently covered her with it.

Although he was a martial artist, it was still a damp and cold spring day, and lying directly on the ground like this was not comfortable.

Haitang woke up when Feng Huai covered her with a cloak, but she didn't make a sound. A complicated feeling passed through her heart.

The wilderness at night was silent except for the chirping of insects.

Despite having been on the go all day, Feng Huai was not sleepy.

He rested one hand behind his head, looking up at the vast sky above him, feeling incredibly small.

He spent half his life striving, yet it seems he gained nothing and remained a failure.

After a long while, he sighed and turned to look at the crabapple tree beside him.

Listening to her soft breathing, for some reason, Feng Huai felt an unprecedented sense of ease and tranquility in his heart.

The things he pursued no longer seemed so important...

……

At this time, it was the Xishan hunting ground.

The open space was brightly lit by the bonfire, and dancers sang and danced around it to entertain the emperor and his ministers.

The air was filled with the rich aroma of roasted meat and the mellow fragrance of fine wine. The ministers enjoyed the roasted meat and the wine in a very leisurely and pleasant manner.

“Uncle, these dancers are tribute women presented by Xizhou. They are lonely at night. How can you be without anyone to keep you company? You can choose a few of them to serve you well tonight.” Rong Xin suddenly spoke up.

The ministers, who were enjoying wine and dancing, were all surprised to hear this.

Why did the Emperor suddenly decide to send a beautiful woman to the Regent?
The Regent only loves the Regent's wife; everyone in the world knows this, and no one has ever dared to send a beautiful woman to the Regent.

For a time, the ministers were all speculating about the emperor's intentions.

Rong Zhen sat upright in his seat, not even raising an eyebrow, and said in a calm voice, "I appreciate Your Majesty's kindness. If Your Majesty wishes to have beauties serve you, you need not worry about us. You may go and enjoy yourself."

Rong Xin choked for a moment.

The way the Imperial Uncle said it made it sound like he wanted beautiful women to serve him, but was afraid of being talked about, so he thought of sending beautiful women to the Imperial Uncle to divert the Imperial Uncle's attention.

"I only thought that since my aunt was not by my side, I was afraid that my uncle would be lonely. That's why I wanted to have the beauties from Xizhou serve him. Since my uncle doesn't need them, then forget it."

"Your Majesty is very kind," Rong Zhen said calmly.

The singing and dancing continued, and the ministers didn't take this little incident to heart. They just thought that the emperor had suddenly become very filial, which was why he did this. However, they didn't notice that Rong Xin's eyes were filled with sinister intent when he looked at Rong Zhen.

He will make Rong Zhen suffer a crushing defeat at this spring hunt!

Thinking that she would no longer be restrained by Rong Zhen, Rong Xin felt a sense of vastness and joy.

He picked up his glass, downed it in one gulp, his eyes filled with determination!
“Speaking of which, where is the Grand Preceptor of Xizhou?” Rong Zhen suddenly asked.

Rong Xin straightened up and said in a calm tone, "The Imperial Preceptor is unwell and is resting in his tent."
