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

Chapter 80 All Gone
Cui Shao then came in, saw this scene, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Under the whole heaven, I'm afraid only Doctor Yun can command the Regent."

Seeing the woman who had already turned and entered the kitchen, Rong Zhen's handsome brows furrowed slightly, and he glanced indifferently at Cui Shao.

Cui Shao suppressed his smile, touched his nose, and stepped forward, saying, "Alright, give it to me, I'll take it inside." As he spoke, he reached out to take the vegetables from Cui Shao's hand.

"No need, I can easily carry this dish." Rong Zhen avoided his movement, carried the dish, and went into the house.

Cui Shao chuckled and chased after him, teasingly asking, "Is it because Doctor Yun served you the food that you won't let anyone else touch it?"

"You're talking more and more." Rong Zhen put down the plate and glanced at him indifferently.

"There's no other way. My leg, which has been useless for many years, is finally healed. I'm really happy. Please bear with me," Cui Shao said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Rong Zhen's expression softened slightly, and he patted Cui Shao's shoulder, saying, "Cui Shao, congratulations."

Cui Shao said with emotion, "I was able to recover thanks to you for bringing Doctor Yun to me. I never expected that Doctor Yun would be so skilled at medicine at such a young age. I thought I would spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair."

When Yun Wei was mentioned, Rong Zhen paused slightly and said nothing more.

Cui Shao said, "By the way, you've only just arrived. Is there something going on at court that's keeping you here?"

Rong Zhen nodded. "Soon, the Yue Kingdom will send envoys. I have summoned the people from the Ministry of Rites for a meeting."

"An envoy from the Moon Kingdom? What brings them here?" Cui Shao asked, puzzled.

"His Majesty of the Moon Kingdom wrote a letter saying that the Seventh Prince of the Moon Kingdom has always admired our Wei Kingdom. Now that the Seventh Prince has reached marriageable age, he has specially sent him to the Wei Kingdom to study and select a suitable Wei Kingdom woman as his consort," Rong Zhen said calmly.

Cui Shao sneered, "Using the pretense of studying and selecting concubines, they come here openly to investigate the strength and weakness of our Wei Kingdom. This Yue Kingdom monarch is truly cunning. Some time ago, they frequently operated on the border, and their ambition to invade our Wei Kingdom was already exposed. At this time, sending out some worthless prince is clearly not a good intention."

“You’re right. Their real purpose is to investigate the strength and weakness of our Wei Kingdom. Once they find out, they will immediately declare war.” Rong Zhen’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

"We need to find a reason to refuse their visit," Cui Shao said immediately.

Rong Zhen glanced at him and shook his head. "No, if we don't let them come, it will only make us look guilty, and they will be even more eager to declare war."

Upon hearing this, Cui Shao hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Upon seeing this, Rong Zhen asked, "What do you want to say? Please speak freely."

Cui Shao clenched his fist and said, "Shenzhi, my leg is completely healed now. I can lead troops. The Yue Kingdom is full of wolves and wolves and wants to invade our Wei Kingdom. We should take the initiative to strike and give them a good beating so that they will shut up and never dare to have any more ambitions."

Rong Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "If we can avoid war, it's best not to."

Cui Shao frowned and said anxiously, "But they have made it clear that they want to invade our Wei Kingdom. If we continue to tolerate them, they will only laugh at our Wei Kingdom for being weak and easy to bully."

“Cui Shao, war is cruel, don’t you know that better than anyone? Once war breaks out, it is the civilians and soldiers who will suffer.”

War is for the people to live in peace and prosperity, to have enough to eat and wear, not to live in fear and uncertainty. War should only be waged as a last resort.” Rong Zhen’s handsome face was solemn.

Yunwei brought in the dishes and happened to hear these words, so she stopped in her tracks.

She looked at Rong Zhen with deep surprise.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that these words came from this man's mouth.

Such forbearance, such consideration for the overall situation, and such thought for the people and soldiers in every way, are completely unlike his ruthless and cold-blooded nature.

His words and his personality are completely different, as if he were two completely different people.

Before today, she thought he was a warmonger, but she never expected that he could be so patient for the sake of the people.

Cui Shao was speechless.

He was well aware that once war broke out, it would always be the ordinary people who would suffer the most.

However, he believed that since the enemy country was provoking them, they should be dealt a heavy blow. Only by making them feel pain and fear would they stop fighting and make peace.

Thinking of this, he disagreed and said, "Shenzhi, I think you've changed. You've become too soft-hearted. Have you been living too comfortably all these years? So comfortably that even your ambition and passion have been worn away."

Rong Zhen pursed his thin lips, and after a long while, he said faintly, "Perhaps." As soon as Cui Shao finished speaking, he regretted it and didn't know what to say. The atmosphere became a little awkward.

Yunwei stood by the door, looking at the atmosphere inside the room, feeling somewhat conflicted.

"Weiwei, why aren't you going in?"

Just then, Aman's voice rang out from behind him.

Yunwei looked up and saw that the two men in the room were looking this way, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in.

Cui Shao quickly got up and helped set out the bowls and chopsticks.

Yunwei was about to turn around to get more dishes when Aman pressed her down into a chair. "Sit down, there aren't many dishes left. Cui Shao and I will get them." With that, she pulled Cui Shao out the door.

Thinking about what she had just witnessed, Yunwei sat in the chair, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Rong Zhen is the regent of the current dynasty. Wouldn't he feel his authority was tarnished by such questioning? Even though Cui Shao is his friend.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Rong Zhen's expression.

Unexpectedly, Rong Zhen appeared calm and showed no sign of annoyance. He even picked up the bowl, turned to look at her, and asked, "Would you like some fish soup?"

Yun Wei was taken aback for a moment, and to hide the surprise on her face, she quickly nodded, "It's a drink."

Upon hearing this, Rong Zhen didn't say anything more. He picked up a soup spoon, ladled out a bowl of fish soup, and placed it in front of her.

Looking at the thick, white fish soup, Yunwei's lips twitched slightly. She looked at the man beside her and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"You're welcome." Rong Zhen shook his head and served himself a bowl as well.

Seeing this, Yunwei felt a little more relaxed.

She picked up the bowl and took a sip.

Ah Man's fish soup is so delicious.

Before long, Cui Shao and Aman brought in the remaining dishes.

"Eat up, the food tastes best when it's hot," Aman warmly invited.

The awkwardness from just now vanished in an instant.

After finishing their meal, Yunwei and Rongzhen said goodbye and went home.

Cui Shao stood by the gate of the mansion, looking at Rong Zhen with a frustrated expression, "Shenzhi, I..."

Rong Zhen understood what he wanted to say and said gently, "Cui Shao, your idea is actually not wrong. If war between the two countries is inevitable, I will definitely let you lead the troops. However, during this period, you must not slack off in your martial arts training. After all, your leg has only just recovered, and it is not good to go to the battlefield like this."

Upon hearing this, Cui Shao felt even more ashamed. "I was too shallow. I didn't think that far ahead."

Rong Zhen patted his shoulder, "Now that your leg is healed, you should visit the Prince's residence more often."

Upon hearing this, Cui Shao finally felt relieved and said, "Okay."

Yunwei looked at Aman and said, "Come visit me in town when you have time."

"Mm." Aman nodded emphatically, looking very relaxed.

On the way back, Yunwei still rode in a carriage, while Rongzhen rode a horse.

When Yunwei arrived at Qingyi Garden, she was taken aback to see Rong Zhen still there when she got out of the car.

She thought he would leave after they entered the city.

As she entered, remembering the events at the Cui residence, she couldn't help but turn back and say to the man on horseback, "It is a blessing for the people that the Regent thinks that way. Please don't take General Cui's words to heart."

Rong Zhen was taken aback, and looked down at her. "You acknowledge me?"
