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

She slowly closed her heavy eyelids, as if gathering her last bit of strength, and murmured, "I want to leave a letter for my mother..."

Hearing this, Mother Feng moved quickly and gently and immediately fetched paper and pen.

Su Yi clenched his teeth, and every stroke seemed to be engraved on the tip of his heart, with reluctance and deep affection in the pain.

At this moment, a sudden noise broke the silence in the room.

The door was gently pushed open, and a fresh air rushed in with the wind, bringing with it an unexpected turn of events.

Su Yi and Mother Feng looked towards the door almost at the same time.

Su Yi's eyes suddenly filled with incredible joy, as if a long drought had finally ended with rain, and all the haze was instantly illuminated.

Cheng Jia was seen carefully supporting Su Rao and slowly walking into the house.

Su Rao, the woman who was believed to be on the verge of death, is actually still alive!

Even though her body was extremely weak, it seemed as if it would disappear into thin air with just a slight blow.

But the fire of life still burned tenaciously in her eyes, shining with an unyielding light.

"Oh, I'm really exhausted, big sister, let me borrow a place to lie down first."

There was a hint of playfulness in Su Rao's casual words, which made people feel warm.

Mother Feng hurried forward and took Su Rao from Cheng Jia's hands. She placed her on the bed as if she were a treasure, and her movements were so gentle that she was afraid to disturb the hard-earned peace.

Cheng Jia quietly left the room, leaving them with precious private space.

Su Rao didn't care about her image at all. She lay on the bed carelessly with a comfortable look on her face. This rare sense of ease made the atmosphere in the whole room become relaxed.

Su Yi looked at his third sister who was also lying on the bed. The two of them were speechless, but suddenly they were amused by this absurd scene.

The laughter gently rippled in the air, seeming so inappropriate, yet particularly warm.

Su Yi secretly sighed in her heart that they should have been the most watched daughters in the Duke's Mansion.

Although they are in such a miserable state now, the humor in sharing adversity has brought them closer to each other.

"Mother Feng, bring the ginseng soup to Rao'er."

Su Yi instructed softly, his words full of concern for his sister.

Mother Feng quietly brought the steaming ginseng soup and carefully fed it to Su Rao.

The rich aroma seemed to nourish Su Rao's body and mind instantly. After only two spoonfuls, her spirits improved significantly.

"I can't drink so much, sister, can you try a few sips too?"

Su Rao asked with concern, her eyes flickering with intimacy.

Mother Feng looked at Su Yi worriedly, and then scooped two spoonfuls for her as instructed.

This time, Su Yi did not refuse, and the two sisters shared the sweetness and warmth.

After drinking the ginseng soup, both of them felt a significant improvement in their physical strength and mood.

After taking a short rest, Su Yi couldn't help but ask Su Rao out of curiosity, "Rao'er, why did the Queen let you go?"

Su Rao had a mysterious smile on her face: "Because I made a bet with her, a bet that has only benefits for her and no disadvantages, and it will also allow her to witness a wonderful show with her own eyes."

Su Yi was secretly amazed in his heart. The courage and wisdom of this third sister were truly admirable.

In comparison, how insignificant he seemed when he was trembling in front of the queen.

On the verge of life and death, Su Rao was able to negotiate terms with the queen who was at the pinnacle of power. This courage made Su Yi admire her spontaneously.

"What kind of bet can make you so determined?"

Su Yi's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were fixed on Su Rao's face, full of concern and confusion.

Su Rao's lips curled up into a faint smile, as if the secret she was about to reveal was just an ordinary topic of conversation after dinner.

"Sister, have you ever heard of the name of 'Hehuan Powder'?"

She spoke softly, with an imperceptible heaviness in her tone.

Su Yi's face turned pale in an instant. Before entering the palace, her world was as pure as paper, untainted by the darkness of the palace.

However, once you step into this cage of power, those unknown secrets begin to whisper in your ears.

"Hehuan Powder".

It is a heart-pounding aphrodisiac, powerful enough to subvert a person's reason and emotions.

According to legend, there was once a proud woman who, in order to win the attention of the high-ranking prince, drank the "Hehuan Powder" in an attempt to conquer the seemingly impeccable heart with her extreme passion and desire.

The ending is tragic.

The prince's cruelty has not changed at all, and that brave but unfortunate woman.

However, because the drug was too strong, blood gushed from all his orifices and his death was tragic, which became a tragic song that spread within the palace walls.

Whenever Su Yi recalled this story, he couldn't help but feel a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, facing his sister's words, the fear in Su Yi's heart became more serious.

"Rao'er, are you thinking about... using that medicine?" There was an undisguised panic in her words.

Su Rao nodded slightly, but there was a strange light flashing in her eyes.

"That's right. I want to use this pill to test the prince's heart and see if he still has a trace of pity for me. If this can help me fulfill the queen's wish, I will go through fire and water. And if I am lucky enough to survive, that will be the outcome the queen would like to see the most."

Su Yi's heart was in turmoil. The image of her sister's frail body and that miserable woman gradually overlapped, which made her shudder. Compared with the direct end of the Queen's men, losing her life in this way.

It is not only a destruction of the body, but also a trampling of dignity. Even after death, one cannot rest in peace and will only be criticized behind the back by people.

Su Rao seemed to be able to see through Su Yi's worries. She said gently but firmly: "I know that my chances of survival are slim, but even if it is an almost impossible chance, I will hold on tightly. Rather than withdrawing from this dispute with dignity, I am more eager to continue living."

The Queen's compassion for Su Rao allowed her to take a temporary break and recuperate.

Su Rao adjusted her posture and lay on the soft mattress, her expression showing a sense of tranquility and calmness.

The lunch table was filled with delicious dishes prepared by Mother Feng herself.

Su Rao knew about this mother's past. She came from a family of famous chefs and had extraordinary skills. However, due to family prejudice, her family property fell into mediocre hands and her glory was gone.

Mother Feng also had her share of ups and downs, from being a wealthy concubine to being abandoned, and then to being regarded as a bargaining chip by her family, until she finally saved herself from danger and came to the Su Mansion.

Su Yi kept picking up food for her sister with great concern, and each dish was full of love.

She was reluctant to eat every bite until Su Rao's belly was full.

As if this could convey all the love and warmth to her.

For Su Rao, this meal was more like the last warm gathering in her life. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but mutter to herself...

Su Yi frowned, trying to interrupt this ominous premonition, "Don't talk about the last dinner, we don't want to say anything unlucky."
