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

In the dream, Huo Chengjun was extremely arrogant, and the two sisters were like lambs to be slaughtered. No matter how much they begged, they could not escape the tragic fate.

Su Rao woke up from a nightmare. Outside the window, the morning light was breaking and drizzling rain was falling.

She was still frightened and was glad that it was just an illusion in her dream.

In a trance, she realized that if Prince Yi's predicament could not be resolved, Prince Qi's ascension to the throne would be a foregone conclusion, and the tragedy in her dream might eventually become a reality.

What else can she do?

It was not until dawn that Su Rao slowly stood up.

There are three Dharma assemblies of Master Mingkong. The first one will be held tomorrow. There are no specific arrangements today.

In her spare time, Su Rao strolled around the temple.

Lingkong Temple has always been famous for its efficacy. In her previous life, she often came here to pray for Shen Jinghong's safety and career success, and all her wishes were fulfilled.

Now, she wants to pray for Prince Yi.

Only when he is well can she, her elder sister and her mother find peace.

Su Rao walked into the familiar hall, knelt down devoutly, and silently recited the most sincere wishes in her heart.

I hope someone can break the evil curse on Prince Yi, so that he doesn't have to suppress himself anymore and can regain his freedom.

I hope he can return to his true self, live out his true self, and no longer be bound by invisible shackles.

Just then, a light sound of footsteps was heard. Su Rao turned her head and saw a noble lady walking into the hall.

The woman had a graceful figure and seemed to be in her early thirties. She had an elegant temperament and gorgeous clothes, and she exuded an innate aura of nobility.

Su Rao recognized her at a glance—Her Royal Highness the Princess of the current dynasty.

The eldest princess is a key figure in this Dharma Assembly, and her presence is of great significance to the entire Dharma Assembly.

It is said that when the emperor first ascended the throne, he had few children. Although the concubines in the palace became pregnant many times, they always encountered misfortune and the fetuses could not be saved.

It is rumored among the people that the emperor is destined to be lonely, which is not conducive to the reproduction of offspring.

Although the emperor didn't seem to care about it on the surface, he was very concerned about it in his heart.

This ominous prophecy was not broken until the late queen gave birth to the eldest princess.

Therefore, the emperor doted on the eldest princess. Even after there were princes such as the Prince of Qi and the Prince of Yi, as well as several princesses, the eldest princess's status was still unmatched.

This unique favor makes the eldest princess hold an important position in the court.

The eldest princess married the eldest son of the Duke of Protectorate. Unfortunately, her husband died young, so the emperor brought the eldest princess and her young daughter into the palace and treated them as the apple of his eye.

Even powerful figures like Concubine Wang and Mrs. Huo did not dare to act presumptuously in front of the eldest princess.

In her previous life, Su Rao had seen the eldest princess once from afar.

At that time, the eldest princess was mentally ill due to the loss of her only daughter. She often hugged the doll, sometimes stroking it to comfort it, and sometimes crying bitterly. She was completely different from the dignified and gentle image in front of us.

Su Rao stood up from the futon and bowed respectfully to the eldest princess.

The eldest princess smiled gently in response, without saying much, and only nodded in response.

Su Rao left the hall and when she looked back, she saw the eldest princess kneeling on the cushion, praying with an extremely pious posture.

I heard that the eldest princess's daughter, Princess Yuzhang, is frail and sickly. I guess she is praying for her daughter's health at this moment.

As a mother, my greatest wish is to see my children grow up healthy and happy, away from all the suffering and pain in the world.

In this troubled time, if they are lucky enough to receive the protection of the eldest princess, it will undoubtedly add a ray of light and hope to the children's future. Perhaps they can find a glimmer of hope in this precarious world and allow the faint candlelight to continue.

However, it is not easy to make friends with the eldest princess. The tricks and considerations involved are complicated and subtle. If you are not careful, you may suffer unexpected disasters.

Therefore, every step must be taken with caution and you must not ruin your future because of a momentary rush.

Su Rao walked lightly along the winding path inside the palace wall, thinking about her next plan in her mind.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds, dappling onto the bluestone slabs.

However, this tranquility was soon broken by an invisible tense atmosphere. She felt a cold gaze like a poisonous snake tightly encircling her from behind.

Su Rao's pace couldn't help but quicken, and her heartbeat also accelerated, as if some danger was approaching.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way and forcing her to stop abruptly.

She looked up and already had the answer in her mind. It was indeed the powerful Prince Qi.

Su Rao tried to remain calm, with a hint of barely perceptible annoyance flashing across her eyes, but she quickly adjusted her mood, put on a surprised expression, and said respectfully, "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. I never expected to meet you again."

After saying this, she bowed slightly and performed a standard etiquette, "My humble concubine greets His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi."

The King of Qi did not respond immediately, but glanced back and forth at Su Rao with an almost penetrating gaze. The gaze was sharp and greedy, as if it could penetrate layers of clothes and reach deep into her heart.

Although Su Rao felt disgusted in her heart, she knew very well that she could not be as direct as she was with Huo Chengjun, because the King of Qi in front of her, even the King of Yi behind her, the powerful man that Huo Chengjun was afraid of, could not be easily restrained.

Su Rao secretly swore in her heart that if one day Prince Yi could go one step further and hold real power, she would make Prince Qi pay a heavy price for his disrespect today and make him never look at anyone with such contempt and aggression again.

"Your Highness Prince Qi, I have important matters to attend to and need to go back to take care of Your Highness Prince Yi. I cannot stay any longer, so I'll take my leave now." Su Rao forced a gentle smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

However, the King of Qi did not seem to intend to let her go easily. He followed closely behind her and said casually, "I just happened to have something important to discuss with my brother. We are just going the same way."

"Is there something?" Su Rao sneered in her heart. The hostility of King Qi towards King Yi had long been a well-known secret inside and outside the palace. The so-called "good things" in his mouth were probably just more conspiracies and calculations.

The King of Qi's relentless pressure made Su Rao feel unprecedented oppression. She quickened her pace, trying to break free.

Unexpectedly, a strong hand suddenly stretched out from behind and tightly grasped her wrist with such force that she could hardly break free.

"Sister-in-law, this is not a forest, and there are no wild beasts chasing us. Why are you in such a hurry?" The King of Qi's tone was a bit teasing and threatening.

Su Rao cursed in her heart, you are a hundred times more terrifying than any beast.

She forced herself to remain calm and replied, "I am worried that Your Highness Prince Yi will wait for a long time. You may not understand that if Your Highness Prince Yi cannot see me for a while, he will be extremely anxious."

Instead of letting go, the King of Qi intensified his efforts and pushed her towards a nearby rockery, pinning her down with his body. His expression became frivolous and wanton: "It's more fulfilling to conquer your brother's woman, isn't it?"
