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

Chapter 290 Ascend the Throne as Soon as Possible
“A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Now, all the ministers in the court are kneeling and begging the master to ascend the throne as soon as possible,” Sang Qing continued.

"What's the situation in the palace now?" Yunwei asked.

Rong Xin was suddenly assassinated in Xishan. The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Feng will definitely intervene, especially Empress Dowager Feng, who will certainly not let it go.

"Aside from being heartbroken, the Empress Dowager did nothing else. However, when Empress Dowager Feng got wind of it, she secretly summoned several ministers who supported the Emperor and gathered some men, intending to oppose her master. But the Emperor suddenly passed away, and Yao Zifei's child was only a few months old and had not yet been born. Even if they wanted to support him, it would be useless."

Knowing that the emperor had passed away and the situation was hopeless, the ministers did not dare to openly oppose their master.

The Imperial Guards did want to guard the palace gates, but without their master's intervention, some, eager to curry favor, opened them.

"We haven't been able to find the Princess Consort. My master has no intention of ascending the throne. He returned from the Western Hills yesterday and brought people to look for you," Sang Qing said.

Fortunately, they were found, and the princess was unharmed; otherwise, he would have truly had to atone with his death.

Through Sang Qing's words, Yun Wei also gained a general understanding of the current situation in the capital.

If Rong Xin could be easily killed, then Empress Dowager Feng, who had little power, would be even more vulnerable.

Yunwei felt relieved.

The past few days had left her exhausted, and she planned to rest properly after returning to the palace. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the palace gate, she saw Aman and Xuanyuan Jing.

The two, who had been waiting anxiously, burst into tears and laughter when they saw her return. "You're finally back! If you hadn't come back, we wouldn't have been able to endure it any longer."

Heaven knows that ever since Yunwei was kidnapped, the two of them have been unable to eat or sleep, and they have been going to the Regent's Palace several times a day, just wanting to know Yunwei's whereabouts as soon as possible.

They arrived early this morning, and they were surprised to find that Yunwei had actually returned.

Before Yunwei could react, the two rushed forward and hugged her tightly.

Yunwei felt a warmth in her heart and reached out to hug the two of them back, saying, "I'm sorry to have made you worry about me."

"I'm so glad you're alright." Aman wiped her eyes and said with a sigh of relief.

Xuanyuan Jing looked Yun Wei up and down to make sure she was really not injured, and finally felt relieved.

Considering what she had been through these past few days, she must be exhausted. Once they were sure she was alright, the two of them didn't stay long, but told her to rest well and that they would come to see her another day.

After seeing the two off, Yunwei returned to her courtyard.

When Tian'er saw her return, she burst into tears of joy, "Miss, you're finally back!"

Yunwei patted her head. "I'm fine. Go prepare some hot water for me. I want to take a bath."

Upon hearing this, Tian'er quickly wiped away her tears and hurried off to prepare.

After taking a bath and eating something, Yunwei rested.

When she woke up, it was already dark.

As Tian'er helped her get up, she reported, "Miss, people from the Yun family have arrived. I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you."

"Who's here?" Yunwei asked casually.

“They’re all here,” Tian’er replied.

Yun Wei paused for a moment. So that means Yun Yueshan came along too?
It's impossible that Yun Yueshan cares about her.

Moreover, apart from Aman and a few others, as well as the people in the Prince's mansion, no one else knew that she had been kidnapped.

This visit to the Regent's Palace must be to gather information.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Tian'er glanced at her face and whispered, "If Miss doesn't want to see them, this servant will go and send them away."

The young lady and the Marquis's mansion did not have much affection for each other.

She occasionally interacted with them only because she noticed changes in the Lady of the Marquis and the Heir Apparent. As for having any feelings for the Marquis's mansion, that was not the case.

Especially considering that the Marquis slapped the young lady for Yun Yao's sake.

Tian'er still felt angry when she thought about that incident. Yunwei nodded, "Alright, just say I'm not feeling well."

Tian'er understood, "This servant will go right away."

The front hall of the Regent's Palace.

The Yun family members were very anxious while waiting.

Even Yunyue Mountain frequently looked towards the gate.

Now that the emperor has suddenly passed away, the regent will inevitably ascend the throne, and Yunwei, as the regent's wife, will inevitably be made empress.

Because of this, Yun Yueshan became restless and encouraged his family to visit Yun Wei under the pretext of trying to get some information from her.

If he had come alone, given the cold relationship between father and daughter, Yunwei would have easily found an excuse to send him away.

He actually felt some regret. In the matter of Yun Yao, he had openly sided with Yun Yao and ignored Yun Wei's feelings.

But since it has already happened and so much time has passed, Yunwei, as a daughter, shouldn't still hold a grudge.

No matter what, he is still her father. As her daughter, how could she possibly go against her father?
Furthermore, since Yunwei will need the support of her maternal clan after she becomes empress, she should let go of her past prejudices.

Thinking about it this way, Yun Yueshan felt more at ease and had a bit more confidence.

Compared to Yun Yueshan's complicated thoughts, the Xu family members didn't think that much about it.

However, I am also very curious about the fact that the throne is currently vacant.

The regent will probably take the opportunity to ascend the throne, right?
They also longed to see Yunwei and hoped to get confirmation from her.

Just as everyone was eagerly waiting for Yunwei to appear, Tian'er walked in instead.

“My lord, my lady, the young lady is unwell and unable to receive guests. If you have anything to say, you can tell me and I will pass it on.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Yueshan's expression darkened.

Yun Qi and the others were also somewhat disappointed, but considering that Yun Wei was now pregnant and might really be feeling unwell, they didn't say anything.

Madam Xu then asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell? Have you had the imperial physician examine you?"

"I've seen the doctor, taken my medicine, and just rested," Tian'er said.

Upon hearing this, Madam Xu, who had originally intended to go in and check on Yunwei, had no choice but to give up the idea.

"Then you should take good care of them, and let us know immediately if anything happens."

"I will," Tian'er nodded.

Yun Yueshan felt somewhat displeased.

He didn't believe that Yunwei was actually feeling unwell.

They've waited here for so long; even if they're uncomfortable, there's no reason for them not to see them—they're not outsiders.

But this wasn't a place where he could cause trouble, and considering that Yunwei was very likely to become empress, he could only swallow his dissatisfaction.

After seeing the person off, Tian'er returned to Qingxue Courtyard and reported what had happened in the front hall to Yunwei.

Yunwei guessed that they had come for the throne, so she didn't want to see them or give them unrealistic ideas.

"...Everyone else is fine, but the Marquis seemed a little unhappy when he left," Tian'er said.

Yun Wei nodded without saying anything.

Since she married into the Regent's Palace, Madam Xu and the others would come to see her, but Yun Yueshan had never come before. His sudden visit today must have ulterior motives.

She was right not to see them.
