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

Chapter 99 No Need to Suppress Myself Anymore

Seeing the woman taking his pulse so intently, Rong Zhen pondered the meaning behind her words, understood, and his handsome face unconsciously flushed red.

This woman actually thought that he wanted her to take his pulse because he was worried that he hadn't recovered enough to be with a woman...

He pursed his thin lips, a flash of annoyance crossing his handsome face, and abruptly withdrew his hand.

Yun Wei was concentrating on taking his pulse when suddenly, her hand felt empty. She was startled and looked down to see that his hand had moved away.

She was a little confused. "I haven't finished yet." Saying that, she grabbed his hand, forcefully pressed it on the table, and warned, "Don't move!"

Rong Zhen: "..."

When he came to his senses, he was so angry he almost laughed.

No one has ever dared to order him around; this woman is quite bold.

The regent gritted his teeth, but remained seated obediently, not daring to move again.

After a moment, Yunwei withdrew her hand. "Your pulse is normal, the poison has been completely cleared, Your Highness can rest assured."

"That's good." Rong Zhen lowered his sleeve.

“Your Highness’s pulse is strong, and your recovery is even better than I expected. You are exceptionally gifted and physically robust. My previous worries were unnecessary. If Your Highness needs anything, you don’t need to suppress yourself anymore,” Yunwei added slowly.

Rong Zhen, who was adjusting his sleeves, paused upon hearing this, his handsome face darkening again. He sternly rebuked, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Yunwei looked at him in surprise, "I praised the prince's good health, how did that become nonsense?"

Rong Zhenjun blushed slightly and said somewhat awkwardly, "You know what you mean by that!"

Yun Wei looked completely innocent. "It didn't mean anything."

Rong Zhen: "..."

Seeing his sullen expression, Yun Wei smiled slightly, returned to her seat, and continued eating her snacks.

Seeing the woman's nonchalant demeanor, Rong Zhen felt a little annoyed, picked up his teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.

Upon seeing this, the servant immediately refilled the bowl.

Rong Zhen drank three cups of tea in succession before he stopped.

Yunwei found it rather strange.

Could it be that the tea at her residence is particularly delicious?
Otherwise, how could the regent Rong Zhen have drunk so many cups?
Thinking about it, she picked up her teacup and took a sip.

There's nothing special about it; it tastes just like regular tea.

She put down her cup and continued eating her snack.

At this moment, Rong Zhen suddenly got up and walked outside.

Seeing this, Yunwei asked, "Is Your Highness leaving?"

Rong Zhen paused as he stepped out of the front hall, glanced back at her, and asked, "Does the Yun family want me to leave?"

Of course.

Yunwei thought to herself, but said aloud, "That's not it. It's just that Your Highness is very busy with official duties. I thought you must have a lot of official business to handle and probably don't have any extra time to waste."

“Master Yun Dong is overthinking this. I came here after finishing my official business. I have some free time today,” Rong Zhen said unhurriedly.

Yun Wei choked for a moment, then said sullenly, "So what are you going to do?"

Rong Zhen glanced at her. "I need to relieve myself."

"Cough cough cough..." Yun Wei choked on the snack and coughed violently.

The Regent, feeling he had won back the game, smiled smugly.

"So Your Highness has kidney deficiency." After recovering, Yunwei raised an eyebrow and glanced at him.

Rong Zhen's pleasant smile froze on her face as she stared at her in astonishment.

"Someone, take the Regent to the latrine," Yun Wei called out, suppressing a laugh.

"Your Highness, this way please." A servant immediately stepped forward to lead the way.

Rong Zhen's temple throbbed, and he gave Yun Wei a deep look before following the servants away.

Yunwei was somewhat smug.

It's just relieving herself, do you think she'd be embarrassed?
Who are you underestimating? Rong Zhen didn't come back. After he finished using the restroom, he left directly.

Yunwei wasn't very surprised when she heard the servant's report.

After all, even a regent has his pride.

……

Not long after Li Yaoting left Qingyi Garden, his carriage was stopped by someone.

"Who are you?" Li Yaoting frowned as he looked at the person who had stopped the carriage.

He was a very thin man, about thirty years old, with a fair complexion and no beard.

Seeing Li Yaoting lift the carriage curtain, the man smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, he took two steps closer, flicked his sleeve, and revealed a pure gold token.

Li Yaoting glanced at it once, and his heart tightened. He quickly composed himself and asked respectfully, "And you are...?"

"Lord Li, there's no need to ask any more questions. I'll be waiting for you at the Yushu Tea House up ahead." After saying this, the man turned and left, seemingly certain that Li Yaoting would follow.

Li Yaoting watched his departing figure, and without hesitating for long, he quickly ordered the coachman to follow.

Yu Shu Tea House is just an ordinary tea house in the capital, located in the bustling city center, and is not conspicuous.

Normally, Li Yaoting wouldn't set foot here, but today, he had no choice.

Upon arriving at Yushu Tea House, he dismissed the driver and went inside alone.

The man from before quietly appeared in front of him and led him to a private room on the second floor.

Pushing open the door, Li Yaoting immediately saw the young man in blue standing by the window.

Although the boy was standing with his back to him, he exuded an imposing aura.

"Master, Li Yaoting has arrived," the man from before said.

Hearing the sound, the boy slowly turned around.

Upon seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Li Yaoting was taken aback and immediately knelt down, saying, "This humble subject did not know that you were His Majesty. Please forgive my rudeness."

The young man was none other than Emperor Rong Xin.

He looked down at the person kneeling at his feet, wondering if he was capable of taking on that position.

Li Yaoting could sense that the emperor was scrutinizing him, as if examining him or evaluating him.

Having met the two highest-ranking officials of Wei in a single day, Li Yaoting was filled with trepidation, his back drenched in sweat.

"Get up." After a long silence, Rong Xin said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Yaoting stood up.

"Sit down," Rong Xin said gently.

Feeling apprehensive, Li Yaoting thanked them and cautiously sat down in the chair.

"Do you know why I summoned you here?" Rong Xin asked, toying with the cup.

Li Yaoting glanced at him quickly, then lowered his head, saying, "This humble subject does not know." But he was already pondering the matter in his mind.

Why would the emperor leave the palace, and why would he come to a teahouse like this?
Was the emperor doing this to avoid being seen? Just to summon him?
Li Yaoting was filled with doubt and unease.

Rong Xin did not continue on this topic, but instead brought up another matter, "I heard that your wife has been detained by the Jingzhao Prefecture?"

Li Yaoting was somewhat surprised, but still nodded, "Yes." After thinking for a moment, he added, "My wife is definitely not a member of the rebels."

"I know. I will send someone to deliver the imperial edict right now, ordering them to release your wife," Rong Xin said nonchalantly.

Li Yaoting was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Rong Xin didn't say anything more, but instead glanced at the man from before.

The man understood and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Li Yaoting felt much more at ease.

Unexpectedly, after being evaded by the Regent, his fortunes took a turn for the better with the Emperor.

Sure enough, heaven still favored him.

"Li Yaoting, the position of General of the Golden Guard is still vacant. Are you interested?" the emperor suddenly asked.
