Marrying a concubine to seduce him and lure him into the game

A trace of imperceptible sadness flashed across Su Rao's eyes, followed by an almost inaudible sigh. She turned around resolutely and walked back to her quiet courtyard with firm steps. However, the indescribable emotion in her heart could not subside for a long time.

After returning to the courtyard, Su Rao found Bai Ze and asked, "Is it true that there is no cure for the poison in Prince Yi's body? Is there no one in this world who can break this desperate situation?"

Bai Ze was silent for a moment, with a complex emotion between his brows: "There is one person who may be able to do it."

Su Rao was delighted and asked immediately, "Where is he now? No matter where he is, I will find him!"

Bai Ze's voice was still calm, but with a hint of helplessness: "That person has passed away and left this troubled world."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured over her head, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope in Su Rao's heart.

Su Rao was stunned on the spot, speechless for a moment.

Such an answer was tantamount to telling her a desperate fact. Did she really have to go against the will of heaven, dig up graves and bones, and seek the soul of a dead person to save the suffering of the living?

Just as Su Rao was immersed in complicated thoughts, Bai Ze's eyes penetrated her disguise and went straight to the depths of her heart: "Are you feeling sad for him? Or are you also worried about the predicament you can't get rid of?"

Su Rao came back to her senses, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips: "Why should I feel sad for him? I am in a precarious situation myself, how can I have the heart to pity others."

Soon, Su Rao's sister Su Yi came to the courtyard with brisk steps.

She looked Bai Ze up and down, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and inquiry: "I heard that a distant cousin came to our house, how come I have never heard of your existence before?"

Su Rao quickly explained: "Sister, you misunderstood. He is not my cousin, but the doctor I specially invited, Mr. Bai Ze."

Su Yi's expression tightened when he heard this: "Are you feeling unwell?"

As an older sister, she always cares about her younger sister's health first.

"It wasn't me. I noticed that the prince looked pale and was afraid that he was unwell, so I asked Mr. Bai Ze to take his pulse and diagnose him." Su Rao shook her head slightly and explained.

Hearing this, Su Yi heaved a sigh of relief, but then became nervous again: "The prince is sick? What should I do?"

Sisters are connected by heart, and her worry is no less than Su Rao's.

Su Rao nodded and replied in a soothing tone: "It's nothing serious, no need to worry too much."

She didn't want her family to worry too much about this. After all, for some things, the fewer people who know about them, the better protection it is for everyone.

"Fortunately, it's not a fatal disease." Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.

Su Rao did not deliberately conceal it, but for some things, the fewer people who know about it, the easier it is to handle.

Besides, telling my sister would not change the current situation except adding unnecessary worry.

"I almost forgot that I have arranged accommodation for this 'cousin'. It's in the small building next to our courtyard." Su Yi suddenly remembered and said with a smile.

Bai Ze stood quietly beside Su Rao with pure eyes. He seemed to have no idea about the boundaries between men and women in the world. In his world, there was only a simple distinction between likes and dislikes.

His dependence on Su Rao came from instinctive trust and closeness.

Su Rao smiled slightly and pointed to her own courtyard: "Actually, my courtyard is quite spacious, enough to accommodate Mr. Bai Ze."

"Perhaps it was Butler Mo Yi who conveyed it, or maybe it was Prince Yi's intention." Su Yi guessed, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

After this conversation, the courtyard returned to its former tranquility, but there seemed to be a hint of subtle warmth in the air.

She was indeed somewhat confused and puzzled as to why she needed to plan an independent residence for her cousin. After all, this visiting relative was not a strange man, but a blood relative.

However, since this request came from the mouth of the extremely noble prince, even if there were doubts, they had to be suppressed.

"Miss, please come with me." Su Yi said to Bai Ze in a gentle and polite tone.

However, Bai Ze seemed to have become a statue in the courtyard, standing motionless, with no expression on his face, as if he had not heard Su Yi's words at all.

Such an action made Su Yi feel slightly embarrassed. Caught between the prince's order and her sister's guests, she could neither use force nor turn a blind eye.

At this time, Su Rao saw this and intervened softly, "Bai Ze, please follow my sister's arrangements."

It seemed that only her sweet words could touch Bai Ze, causing him to finally follow Su Yi's steps and leave.

The next morning, when the first ray of morning light quietly penetrated into the house, Su Rao opened her eyes and found Bai Ze sitting quietly in the house with a calm face and expectation in his eyes, as if he had not slept all night just waiting for this moment to come.

Although Bai Ze is not good at martial arts, he possesses amazing and unique magic skills. People often say that extraordinary talents often attract jealousy, and the reason why Bai Ze has been safe until now is his extraordinary and feather-light martial arts skills.

Faced with Bai Ze's expectant gaze, even though Su Rao felt a little helpless, she had to get up, build a simple grill in the courtyard, and start grilling Bai Ze's favorite chicken.

Bai Ze has never been overly greedy for food, but he has an almost obsessive love for chicken.

Su Rao still can't forget the scene of their first meeting. At that time, Bai Ze was in the deep mountains, holding a pheasant with blood still on it, chewing it with big mouthfuls. That primitive and pure sense of satisfaction made him stand out.

Bringing her thoughts back to reality, Su Rao saw that Bai Ze had finished every drop of the roast chicken. He sat upright with elegant manners.

At this moment, Su Yi hurriedly went to Su Rao and said, "Rao'er, do you know that the prince will go to Lingkong Temple to pay homage tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Su Rao couldn't help but feel puzzled. What was the purpose of the prince's visit?

Could it be that, in order to escape from this troubled world, the prince finally decided to cut off worldly ties, enter the Buddhist monastery, and end everything?

Thinking of this, although Su Rao had some understanding in her heart, she couldn't help but sigh for the prince's choice.

If this is true, where will her future go?

Worry quietly enveloped her heart.

"It's not what you think. The abbot of Lingkong Temple, Master Mingkong, is about to hold a Buddhist lecture, which has attracted countless eminent monks and many royal relatives to come and listen. As a royal temple, this event is not only a religious celebration, but also a moment to show the majesty of the royal family."

Su Yi patiently explained, slowly revealing the real purpose of this trip, which instantly dissipated a lot of the haze in Su Rao's heart.

"Sister, shall we go together?" Su Rao asked in a voice full of anticipation.
