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

Chapter 87 A Feeling of Unfamiliarity

Rong Zhen's long eyelashes trembled as he stared in astonishment at the woman beneath him.

However, the woman was not satisfied with that; her soft tongue suddenly pressed into his mouth.

"boom!"

Rong Zhen felt as if something in his mind collapsed, and a strange feeling spread to his limbs. Before he could even sort out the feeling, the woman's soft tongue was already swirling wildly in his mouth.

But her movements were clumsy and awkward, making his tongue ache.

It was this pain that gradually brought him back to his senses, which had been clouded by the pain.

He stared in disbelief at the woman beneath him.

He was about to push her away, but the woman suddenly let go of him.

Her two arms hung limply on the blanket, her head tilted to the side, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Rong Zhen quickly sat up straight and distanced himself from her.

His handsome face flushed red as he recalled what had just happened.

The Regent Queen belatedly realized that he had been sexually harassed by a woman.

Realizing this, his handsome face darkened.

He dared not linger any longer and quickly left the guest quarters.

He attempted to distract himself with court affairs, but the effect was minimal.

The erotic scene in the guest courtyard would always appear in his mind.

For the first time, Rong Zhen neglected his official duties and sat in his study for half a day.

……

Yunwei woke up in the evening.

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, she had no idea what was going on.

She was about to get up when she discovered that there were no shoes under the bed.

She paused, quite surprised. Where had her shoes gone?
Just then, the tightly closed door was pushed open, and a maid walked in, carrying her shoes in her hands.

Seeing that she had woken up, the maidservant quickly stepped forward and knelt down by the bedside, saying, "This servant will help Master Yun put on her shoes."

Yunwei recognized her clothes as those of a servant of the Regent's Palace, and figured this must be the guest courtyard of the palace.

But why was she sleeping in the guest courtyard of the Prince's mansion?

Who brought her here?
These questions weighed heavily on her mind.

She remembered drinking two glasses of wine and preparing to leave when the alcohol was about to take effect, but she couldn't remember anything after that.

It seems she was already quite drunk when she was about to leave.

She knew exactly what kind of person she was when she was drunk, and her heart sank.

Looking at the respectful maid, she tentatively asked, "I...didn't I do anything inappropriate?"

The maid hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to tell her that she had ordered the prince to wash her face.

Seeing her hesitation, Yunwei already knew the answer in her heart, and her heart sank instantly. She changed her question and asked, "Who brought me here?"

"You were drunk at the time, and it was the prince who carried you here," the maid replied.

The maid was still unsettled as she recalled the events of that time.

Their prince has always been aloof from women and difficult to get close to, but today, he actually brought a woman to the guest courtyard in his own arms, and even fed her water and washed her face.

Of course, she didn't know what happened next, because at that time she had been sent outside by the prince to serve him.

However, when the prince left, his face was faintly red, and she noticed with her sharp eyes that there was a cut on the corner of his lip.

What happened between the two inside is already self-evident.

When Yunwei heard that Rong Zhen had carried her over, she was immediately embarrassed.

She had a gut feeling that she must have done something.

But fearing the truth would be hard to accept, he stood up and hurriedly said, "Please thank your prince for me. It's getting late, I'll head back now."

"This servant will go and inform Eunuch Sang to escort you," the maid said hurriedly.

"No, no," Yunwei quickly refused. "But His Highness gave instructions before he left," the maid said, sounding troubled.

Yun Wei paused, "Is your prince not in the manor?"

"No, she went out a while ago," the maid replied.

"Thank you for your trouble." Yunwei was relieved, as long as she didn't have to meet Rong Zhen.

……

At this time, Rong Zhen summoned several ministers to discuss matters at Wangyue Tower.

After the meeting, everyone drank tea and chatted.

Rong Zhen sat upright in a corner, head down, not saying a word, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Several of the bolder ministers kept glancing at the corners of his lips.

What's wrong with the prince? Not only was he absent-minded during the meeting, but the obvious scar on the corner of his lip also sparked much speculation.

Could that wound have been caused by a woman biting it?

Upon realizing this, several ministers almost couldn't contain their excitement.

Could it be that the prince has finally blossomed despite his inability to achieve anything?

Just as everyone was only thinking to themselves, a sudden voice rang out, "How did Your Highness get a cut on your lip?"

Everyone turned to look at the person who had spoken.

The speaker was a young man.

It was Pei Qing, the Minister of Rites.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Pei Qing chuckled softly, as if he hadn't noticed the darkening face on someone's face. His tone was intriguing: "Your Highness's wound looks like it was caused by a woman biting you. I just don't know which woman was so audacious as to bite Your Highness."

Rong Zhen narrowed his phoenix eyes and looked at him with a threatening gaze. "Is the Ministry of Rites too idle? If it is, I have a few tasks that I can assign to you."

Pei Qing paused for a moment, then chuckled dryly, “No, no, the Yue Kingdom’s envoys are about to arrive. The Ministry of Rites is responsible for receiving them, not to mention the upcoming imperial examinations next year. We’re so busy we’re practically running around. If it weren’t for the Prince’s summons today, we would still be working like slaves at the Ministry of Rites.”

By the way, I see the Dali Temple is quite idle. If Your Highness has any tasks to perform, please feel free to assign them to them.

Lou Chaoan, who had been sitting silently, glanced at him with displeasure upon hearing this. "Of the six ministries, the Ministry of Rites is the most leisurely. Lord Pei, you're going to shorten your lifespan by saying that."

Pei Qing paused for a moment, "Lord Lou, you speak so eloquently, how could you say such vicious things?"

Lou Chaoan glanced at him unhurriedly, "So Lord Pei is afraid of shortening his lifespan?"

"You're not afraid? Then would you dare to trade ten years of your lifespan for me to live to be a hundred?" Pei Qing raised an eyebrow.

Lou Chaoan: "..."

Seeing the two start fighting again, the other officials were already used to it, but Rong Zhen's expression darkened. "Those who know you are officials of the court, but those who don't would think you are some kind of shrew from the marketplace."

Seeing his anger, the two had no choice but to stop talking.

Rong Zhen stood up and said, "That's enough for today, let's call it a day." After saying that, he took the lead and walked outside.

Pei Qing glanced at Lou Chaoan and quickly chased after him.

"Shenzhi, wait for me."

In private, Pei Qing directly addressed Rong Zhen by his courtesy name.

Seeing that Rong Zhen had already boarded the carriage, he quickly lifted the corner of his robe and climbed up on all fours.

Qingfeng's lips twitched as he watched.

Lord Pei really has no sense of propriety.

Inside the carriage, Rong Zhen coldly glared at Pei Qing, "What are you doing up here?"

“I’ll go back to your residence with you,” Pei Qing said matter-of-factly. “I haven’t been to your residence in a long time.”

He thought to himself, "Rong Shenzhi is such a serious and meticulous person, yet he allowed someone to bite his lip until it bled. This shows how much he loves that woman behind the scenes."

He had to go and see what kind of enchantress had managed to subdue the regent, who had always been abstinent and celibate.

"Get out!" Rong Zhen saw through his thoughts at a glance and coldly uttered a single word.

Pei Qing showed no sign of backing down, instead saying meaningfully, "Your Highness is in such a hurry to go back, is it to see some young lady?"
