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

Chapter 289 Almost Wept with Joy
Just as Dongfang Du was about to get up from the ground, a cold sword was already pressed against his throat.

He looked up and saw clearly that the person who attacked him was a young man, and judging from his attire, he should be a guard from the Regent's Palace.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard the young man report to the man on horseback: "Master, Dongfang Du has been captured!"

"Take him back!" The man's voice was calm, yet authoritative and intimidating.

"Yes." The young man responded, then bent down and pressed several acupoints on Dongfang Du's body. The next moment, Dongfang Du was unable to move.

From the time he was attacked to the time he was captured, it took less than 15 minutes.

When Dongfang Du was dragged up from the ground, his face was ashen.

He really underestimated Rong Zhen.

I thought he would be too busy to be there while he was in Xishan, but I didn't expect him to catch up with me so quickly.

The person who took Yunwei away was Rong Zhen.

Seeing that Dongfang Du had been captured, he ignored him and looked down at the woman in his arms, asking gently, "Are you alright?"

Yun Wei blinked her almond-shaped eyes, came back to her senses, and shook her head, "I'm fine, I was just poisoned by Dongfang Du's Jade Dew Powder, I'll just go back to the capital to prepare the antidote."

"Then let's return to the capital immediately." Upon hearing this, Rong Zhen's heart tightened, and he turned his horse around, holding the reins with one hand.

"Wait, send someone to the mountain to look for Feng Huai and Hai Tang first..."

"Your Highness, Miss Haitang is alright; she just fainted." At this moment, a guard came over to report.

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei breathed a sigh of relief and instructed, "Go quickly to the mountain to find Young Master Feng; he is still there."

"Yes." The guard led a few people and hurriedly went up the mountain.

Rong Zhen said, "They've found the person, they'll send them back to the capital. Let's go back first."

"Hmm." Yun Wei nodded, looking at the man's face. She paused, then asked, "Has the matter at Xishan been resolved?"

“It’s all taken care of.” Rong Zhen said, then squeezed the horse’s flanks with his legs, and the horse sped off.

Behind them, Qingfeng and his men quickly followed.

The place was not far from the capital, and the group returned to the capital at noon.

After entering the city gate, Rong Zhen led Yun Wei straight to Qianjin Pavilion.

Upon seeing this, Steward Ding, along with his physicians, came forward and asked, "Your Highness, what happened to our mistress?"

Before Rong Zhen could speak, Yun Wei spoke first: "I'm fine, but I need some medicinal herbs. I'll have to trouble you to prepare them for me later."

"Please give your orders, Master," Steward Ding said respectfully.

"Asarum, Xanthium, licorice..."

Yunwei rattled off a list of medicinal herbs.

Manager Ding had been in this business for many years and was very familiar with these medicinal herbs. He quickly prepared all the herbs and, as Yunwei instructed, took them to be decocted.

While the antidote was being prepared, Rong Zhen took Yun Wei to a room in the backyard to rest.

“If you have something to do, you can go and take care of it first. You don’t need to stay here with me,” Yunwei said.

"No rush, I'll go after you've recovered," Rong Zhen shook his head.

Yunwei is now so weak that she can barely move. How can he leave her alone?

Yunwei had no choice but to give up.

"If you're tired, take a nap. I'll wake you up when the antidote is ready," Rong Zhen said, letting her lean against him.

Yunwei was indeed tired, so she nodded and fell asleep in his arms.

She slept very soundly until Steward Ding brought in the antidote, and Rong Zhen woke her up.

After drinking the antidote, Yunwei's body finally recovered after a quarter of an hour.

Seeing that she was indeed alright, Rong Zhen finally felt relieved. "Master, Guard Cheng just brought two people to Qianjin Pavilion. One is just unconscious, but the other is seriously injured," Steward Ding reported at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Yunwei knew it must be Feng Huai and Haitang.

She said to Rong Zhen, "I'm fine now. You go back first, I'll go check on Feng Huai and Hai Tang."

Rong Zhen nodded and instructed, "Then be careful and go back early."

"Okay," Yunwei agreed.

Rong Zhen did have many things to deal with. Seeing that Yun Wei was alright, he was relieved and quickly left Qianjin Pavilion.

Yunwei then went with Steward Ding to see Fenghuai and Haitang.

Manager Ding returned last December.

Yunwei felt reassured that he would continue to manage Qianjin Pavilion.

When they arrived at the room where Feng Huai and Haitang were, they found that Haitang had already woken up and was sitting by the bed, looking at Feng Huai, who was seriously injured and unconscious.

Seeing Yunwei enter, Haitang immediately stood up and asked with concern, "Sister, are you alright?"

Yun Wei nodded. "I'm fine now. How about you? Are you feeling alright?"

“I’m fine, but Feng Huai…” Haitang said, looking at the lifeless Feng Huai on the bed, her gaze somewhat complicated.

Dr. Jin treated Feng Huai.

He said, "This young master is seriously injured. He has two broken ribs, and a sword pierced right through his chest, almost hitting his heart. Fortunately, he was brought in in time. He is currently unconscious due to excessive blood loss. I have given him the best medicine, and he should wake up tomorrow."

Hearing that Feng Huai was out of danger, Yun Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said to Doctor Jin, "Thank you for your hard work. You will need to continue treating him for the next few days. If there are any problems, please have Steward Ding report to me immediately."

"Okay." Dr. Jin nodded in agreement.

Yunwei stayed in the room for a while, then said to Haitang, "Do you want to stay and take care of Feng Huai, or come back to the Prince's Mansion with me first?"

Haitang paused for a moment, then said, "I...I want to stay and take care of him."

"Of course." Yunwei nodded. "Then you stay here, I'll go back first. You can go back whenever you want."

"Okay," Haitang replied.

As soon as Yunwei stepped out of Qianjin Pavilion, she ran into Sang Qing, who had come to pick her up.

"Your Highness, it's so good that you're alright." Sang Qing breathed a long sigh of relief.

Yun Wei nodded. "I'm sorry to have worried you."

Sang Qing was almost moved to tears.

These past few days, he has been in great distress, fearing that something might happen to the princess.

Now that the princess has finally returned unharmed, he no longer has to suffer.

"It's good that the Princess is alright," Sang Qing said sincerely.

After getting into the carriage, Yunwei asked, "Did you inform the Prince that I had been kidnapped?"

"This servant did not... inform the Prince," Sang Qing said with some shame.

Fortunately, the princess was unharmed; otherwise, he would have been guilty beyond redemption.

"Didn't you notify him?" Yun Wei asked in surprise.

She assumed that Rong Zhen's arrival was so swift because Sang Qing had disobeyed her orders and relayed the message to Rong Zhen, who was in Xishan at the time.

“This servant obeyed your orders and did not inform the master of the news. I heard from Qingfeng that the master discovered that Dongfang Du was not in Xishan that day, and deduced that he had gone to kidnap you. That night, he moved the plan forward.” Sang Qing lowered his voice and said, “The emperor was assassinated in Xishan the night before last. The assassin was most likely from Xizhou.”

Although Yunwei had already guessed that Rong Xin was likely dead, she was still surprised to hear the confirmation from Sang Qing.

She hadn't expected Rong Zhen to be so fast.

They even blamed Rong Xin's death on the assassins from Xizhou.
