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

Chapter 282 Only Special Towards Yunwei

Rong Zhen glanced at him but didn't say anything.

But Rong Xin broke out in a cold sweat.

The Dongfang Du in the tent was not him at all, but his attendant in disguise.

But there was still no news from Dongfang Du, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

It was agreed that Dongfang Du would go to the Regent's Palace to abduct Yun Shi, so why is there still no news? Could something have happened to her?
But Rong Xin quickly regained her composure.

In fact, he had already planned everything for this spring hunt. From the moment Rong Zhen stepped into the Western Hills, he had already entered the ambush.

Therefore, whether or not the Yun family exists is not that important.

The reason he agreed to let Dongfang Du kidnap the Yun family was because he was afraid that something unexpected might happen.

Because if something unexpected happens, he still has the Yun family to threaten Rong Zhen.

He realized that his cold-hearted and indifferent imperial uncle was special only to the Yun family.

With the Yun family in hand, Rong Zhen will surely be forced to submit.

However, Yun was highly skilled in martial arts and rarely went out, so although he had long wanted to capture her, he was unable to do so.

But now that Dongfang Du has taken action, capturing the Yun family should be a piece of cake.

There's still no news about Dongfang Du, so something might have really happened to him.

If he had known, he shouldn't have agreed to let Dongfang Du go and arrest people.

After the banquet, Rong Zhen did not return directly to his own tent, but instead went to Dongfangdu's tent.

However, before they could get close to Dongfang Du's camp, they were stopped by Dongfang Du's men.

"Your Majesty, my lord is unwell and unable to receive guests. Please return home."

"The Grand Preceptor of Xizhou is a distinguished guest of my Wei Kingdom. Since he has fallen ill, how can I sit idly by? This is the imperial physician I brought, who can treat the Grand Preceptor. You all step aside, lest you delay the Grand Preceptor's treatment." Rong Zhen's tone was calm, yet brooked no argument.

Dongfang Du's men felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

The lead guard, trying to remain calm, said, "My lord appreciates the Regent's kindness, but it is late and he has just managed to fall asleep. I hope the Regent will not disturb him. We can discuss this when he wakes up tomorrow."

Rong Zhen didn't speak again, but turned his head to look at Qingfeng.

Qingfeng understood and suddenly drew his sword, pressing it against the throat of the leading guard. "You keep making excuses, are you plotting something? For the sake of His Majesty's safety, we have no choice but to offend you." With that, he waved his hand, and the guards behind him pushed aside the Xizhou guards blocking their way and rushed into Dongfangdu's tent.

The lead guard's expression changed drastically. "Stop them!"

However, his guards were no match for the guards of the Prince's Palace, and they were all taken down in no time.

Rong Zhen stepped into the camp of Dongfangdu.

On the bed in the tent, a person was lying on their side.

"The Eastern Imperial Preceptor?" Rong Zhen called out and was about to step forward, but Qingfeng stopped him. "Master, be careful, it might be a trap. I'd better go and see."

Rong Zhen nodded. "Mm."

Qingfeng strode forward and yanked the blanket off the person.

At the same time, a flash of cold light appeared, and a sharp sword came straight towards Rong Zhen.

Qingfeng was startled, "Master, be careful!"

Rong Zhen was prepared and dodged the attack by tilting his head.

The sword pierced through the tent and shot outside. Having failed in his first attack, the person on the bed leaped up, unleashing a fierce palm strike towards Rong Zhen.

But Qingfeng was prepared, and when the man suddenly attacked, he swung his sword at him.

The man was struck in a vital spot and fell to the ground. Before he could react, Qingfeng's sword was already pressed against his throat.

"Who are you, and why are you impersonating the Imperial Preceptor of the East?" Qingfeng asked coldly.

The man didn't speak, but a trickle of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth before he collapsed and died.

Upon seeing this, Qingfeng was shocked. He squatted down and pried open the man's mouth, only to find that he had hidden poison in his teeth and had committed suicide by biting into the poison.

"Master, this person committed suicide by biting poison," Qingfeng said, rising to his feet.

Rong Zhen stared at the dead man for a long time without saying a word.

Qingfeng said, "It seems that Dongfang Du did not come to Xishan today at all. Where is he now?"

"If I'm not mistaken, he should have gone to the Regent's Palace." Rong Zhen's voice was icy, but his dark eyes were filled with overwhelming anger.

Qingfeng was startled. "Go to the Regent's Palace to do..." He stopped mid-sentence, realizing something.

Dongfang went to the Regent's Palace, definitely to kidnap the princess.

Was this something that Dongfang Du had discussed with the emperor long ago?

If the princess falls into their hands, wouldn't the master be in a very passive position?
"My lord, I will go back to rescue the princess immediately."

"It's too late," Rong Zhen said calmly, but his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched tightly.

Given Yunwei's martial arts skills, Dongfang Du might not be able to succeed, but if Yunwei were to fall into his hands, Dongfang Du should already be at Xishan by now.

But it's obvious that Dongfang Du didn't come to Xishan, so can he assume that Dongfang Du didn't succeed?
"The Emperor has arrived!"

Qingfeng wanted to say something more, but just then, the sound of a eunuch chanting came from outside the tent.

The next moment, Rong Xin strode in from outside.

Upon seeing the dead man on the ground, Rong Xin was startled and angrily asked Rong Zhen, "Uncle, the Grand Preceptor of Xizhou is a distinguished guest of our Wei Kingdom, and this is the Grand Preceptor's camp. You led your men in with such a menacing manner. Do you intend to put Wei Kingdom in an unjust position? Is it something you want to see when our two countries go to war?"

"Your Majesty is too kind. I only came to rescue the Grand Preceptor of the East because I saw that an assassin had broken into his tent. However, I did not expect that the Grand Preceptor of the East was not in the tent." Rong Zhen sneered and said indifferently.

Rong Xin choked for a moment, his face turning ugly as he said, "I see. However, although my royal uncle means well, we should still be careful to avoid giving others cause for gossip."

“Your Majesty is right. However, may I ask Your Majesty, where is the Imperial Preceptor Dongfang?” Rong Zhen then asked.

Rong Xin's heart sank. "I don't know. Maybe he's still out for a stroll."

"Is that so? But the Eastern Grand Preceptor's subordinates say that the Eastern Grand Preceptor is unwell. It's cold and the dew is heavy at night, so the Eastern Grand Preceptor shouldn't be able to go out, right? You all have different stories. Whom should I believe?" Rong Zhen looked at Rong Xin with deep eyes.

As he stared at her like that, Rong Xin's back immediately became wet with sweat.

Does the Imperial Uncle know something?
No, probably not.

His scheme was so well-hidden that the Imperial Uncle wouldn't have discovered anything.

However, his plans may need to be brought forward.

"I don't know the specifics either. We can ask the Grand Preceptor of Xizhou when he returns. Alright, it's late. Uncle, go and rest. We'll be hunting tomorrow, so you need to be well-rested. I'd like to have a competition with you to see who hunts more game." After saying this, Rong Xin left the tent first.

After watching him walk away, Rong Zhen returned to his tent and ordered, "Pass on my decree to have Falcon act ahead of schedule!"

I'll update another chapter this afternoon, thank you all for your support!
