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

Chapter 109 Rong Zhen's Scheme

“Yes, Imperial Uncle, you don’t need to wrong yourself.” Rong Xue also spoke up, feeling very dissatisfied with Rong Xin. This heartless bastard, if it weren’t for the Imperial Uncle, would he be sitting on the throne? He actually dared to agree to the Yue Kingdom princess’s suggestion, clearly with ill intentions, and he didn’t take the Imperial Uncle seriously.

Rong Xue grew angrier the more she thought about it, and tugged at her father's sleeve, "You should also try to persuade your uncle."

The Prince of Jin was eating meatballs when his son jerked him, causing the meatballs he was holding with his chopsticks to fall to the ground.

He glanced at it with a regretful expression, put down his chopsticks, and said helplessly, "Once your royal uncle makes a decision, no one can persuade him otherwise."

Sure enough, the next moment, Rong Zhen said without hesitation, "My mind is made up, you don't need to say anything more."

Pei Qing frowned.

He may have wanted to watch the excitement, but he never intended to use Rong Zhen as a gamble.

The main reason is that he doesn't think highly of Yunwei.

Aside from being prettier than others, she looked so delicate that she was no different from other noble ladies.

I might be able to ride horses and compose poetry, but I definitely can't do martial arts.

She was destined to lose if she competed against the princess of the Moon Kingdom.

He couldn't understand why Rong Zhen would agree to this outcome, which was obvious at a glance.
Or does he have some other plan?
But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't understand what kind of plan he had that would sacrifice his lifelong happiness. Besides, didn't he have someone he loved? If he married the princess of the Moon Kingdom, how could he face the woman he loved?

Nobody understood.

For a moment, the hall was quiet, and no one spoke.

"I won't compare myself to her." After a long silence, Yun Wei suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence.

Pei Qing and the others relaxed.

Yes, as long as Yunwei doesn't accept the challenge, wouldn't that be fine?

The princess of Yue Kingdom was overjoyed, thinking that she would definitely crush Yun Wei in the competition later, let the people of Wei Kingdom know the strength of her Yue Kingdom, and as long as she defeated Yun Wei, the regent would be hers.

Upon hearing this, his expression stiffened, and he looked at her with displeasure, "You think you can just say you won't compete?"

"Yes." Yun Wei glanced at her indifferently, then got up to leave.

She wasn't afraid of losing to the princess of the Moon Kingdom; she just couldn't understand why Rong Zhen would agree to such a contest.

Moreover, she felt there was absolutely no need for a competition.

Given Rong Zhen's status and power, the emperor could not force him to do so unless he wanted to.

Rong Xin was displeased to see her leave like that.

Even a mere county princess dared to disregard the majesty of the emperor.

"Stop right there!" The Yue Kingdom princess was furious when she saw Yun Wei actually leaving. "How dare you disregard the orders of His Majesty the Emperor and the Regent of Wei?"

Yunwei ignored her and walked straight toward the palace gate.

"You're courting death!" the Moon Kingdom princess roared, her hand reaching for her waist.

The next moment, a whip, like a nimble snake, lashed out at Yun Wei's back.

The sound of something cutting through the air startled everyone, turning their faces pale.

It's easy to imagine how badly one would be injured if struck by that whip.

"careful!"

Lou Chao'an was on the verge of tears and couldn't help but call out to remind her, but Yun Wei didn't even turn her head, she just waved her sleeve.

The next moment, the whip that was lashing at her broke in two and fell to the ground.

Before anyone could react, the envoys suddenly shouted, "Princess, be careful!"

A flash of silver light appeared in the air as several fine silver needles, as thin as hair, shot towards the Moon Kingdom princess with lightning speed.

The Moon Kingdom princess was still in disbelief at her suddenly broken whip, so she had no time to react when the silver needles shot at her.

Until someone rushed over and tackled her to the ground.

Several silver needles struck the pillar behind them and pierced it completely.

Everyone was horrified.

Especially the princess of the Moon Kingdom.

She had just narrowly escaped death.

If her elder brother hadn't tackled her, she probably would have lost her life here.

Thinking of this, she felt a chill run through her body and a sense of dread rose from the depths of her heart.

I couldn't help but look towards the door. The others also realized what was happening and looked towards the door as well.

Yunwei didn't turn around. She stepped over the threshold unhurriedly, as if unaware of what was happening behind her. Her long skirt flowed gracefully across the threshold, and she disappeared outside the door.

Pei Qing looked shocked.

Thinking of something, he turned to look at Rong Zhen.

But the fellow sat there calmly, slowly drinking his wine, completely oblivious to the shock of the crowd.

It seems he already knew that Princess Rong'an possessed unparalleled martial arts skills, which is why he agreed to the Moon Kingdom princess's request.

This shows they are certain that Princess Rong'an cannot possibly lose.

Realizing what had happened, Pei Qing was both annoyed and amused. He had worried for nothing. However, he had also misjudged the situation this time, failing to see that Princess Rong'an was so capable.

Lou Chaoan had suspected that Yun Wei might be skilled in martial arts when she smashed a cup at the Pingning Marquis's residence, but he never expected that her martial arts skills would be so high.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Moon Kingdom princess's whip snapped, along with the silver needles...

This shows that her skill level is unfathomable.

His gaze lingered on the pillar for a moment.

There are no traces left on it.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes just now, I would never have known that several silver needles had pierced into it.

Yun Yueshan concealed the shock in his eyes, but was inwardly astonished.

He was unaware that Yun Wei possessed such profound martial arts skills.

However, he now believes Yunwei's claim that she saved the Regent.

No wonder she was able to be granted the title of county princess through her own abilities.

He was surprised, but also proud.

As expected of Yunyue Mountain's daughter, she is indeed extraordinary.

Mrs. Xu was also shocked and speechless. That was her daughter?
Chen Yuniang clenched her handkerchief tightly, feeling both shocked and frightened as she recalled what had just happened. That wretched woman, Yun Shi, was terrifying.

She couldn't help but move closer to Li Yaoting.

Li Yaoting snapped out of his daze and impatiently pushed her away. "Be careful, don't let people laugh at us."

Chen Yuniang was very dissatisfied, but dared not do anything more.

However, seeing that he didn't seem very shocked, she couldn't help but ask, "You already knew that the Yun family knew martial arts?"

Li Yaoting was in a state of distress.

He knew that the Yun family was skilled in martial arts; not long ago, she had almost blinded him with an arrow.

But he had never witnessed her true strength.

However, judging from the move she just made, her martial arts skills are definitely superior to his.

What he couldn't understand was how a woman who lived a secluded life and grew up in the countryside could possess such profound martial arts skills.
Clearly, she concealed many things during the three years she was married into the Li family.

Li Yaoting was furious, but even more so, he felt regret.

If they hadn't divorced Yun, and the couple had joined forces, they would have crushed all the powerful clans in the capital, and the Li family would have surely risen to become the leading clan.

Yunwei ignored what the people in the hall thought. After leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony, she found a palace maid to lead her to the latrine.

After using the restroom, she wasn't in a hurry to go back and wandered around for a while.

Until Sang Qing came looking for them.

“The county magistrate is here. We’ve been looking for her for ages.” Sang Qing said with a beaming smile.

"What do you want from me?" Yunwei asked.

Sang Qing coughed lightly and said seriously, "My master said that the county princess has already won one round, and there are still two rounds left to compete. Next, it will be a competition of horsemanship. Please move to the horse field, county princess."

Yun Wei frowned. "I said I wouldn't compete."

“But the county princess just won against the princess of the Moon Kingdom, which counts as a competition. The master originally wanted to announce that you won directly, but the princess of the Moon Kingdom said that the competition was for three rounds. So, in order to silence the gossip, the county princess should continue to compete with the princess of the Moon Kingdom, so that they can accept their defeat.” Sang Qing kept his eyes down, not daring to look Yun Wei in the eye.

My master is so cunning.

He finally understood why his master had agreed to the Moon Kingdom princess's request.

Because if the county princess wins the contest, she will have to marry her master.

Master won the county princess's hand in marriage without lifting a finger.
