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

After she finished speaking, she held Mother Feng's hand tightly, and her fingertips conveyed not only warmth, but also deep worry: "Mother Feng, I always feel that there is an unknown undercurrent behind this matter."

A flash of inspiration suddenly came to my mind, and a bold guess formed in my mind.

Could it be that this flamboyant Lord Cheng has some kind of connection with the once powerful Concubine Cheng of Xianfu Palace?

If this assumption comes true, the whole thing will probably become more complicated and full of dangers.

Putting away the turmoil in his heart, Su Yi showed extraordinary decisiveness: "Let's go and find out for ourselves."

As soon as we arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a group of men holding torches and looking aggressive suddenly appeared in front of us.

At the head of the team was a young man who was dressed gorgeously, thin but a little frivolous.

The excessive embellishment and his slightly vain look all revealed the fact that he was immersed in a life of wine and sex.

Su Yi looked at him and his expression changed slightly, as if he had met someone he didn't want to see.

That person was Cheng Yi, a notorious playboy.

Although he committed countless evil deeds, he was protected by Concubine Cheng. Not only was he not punished by law, but he was also given a leisurely official position.

Once upon a time, his marriage proposal to Su Yi was rejected, and one can imagine the resentment in his heart.

At this moment, it is obvious that the palace sent such a person with questionable character to investigate the assassination of Prince Yi.

The so-called investigation is nothing but a drama, and the real purpose behind it is chilling.

Does the royal family really intend to give up on Prince Yi and allow the dark force behind the scenes to succeed?

"Master Cheng, why do you have to turn the entire palace upside down to investigate the assassination of Prince Yi?"

Su Yi's face was solemn, and his tone was full of unquestionable questioning.

Cheng Yi raised a scornful smile at the corner of his mouth, looking nonchalant, "Hey, I guess the assassin is not alone, maybe he is hiding in a dark corner of the palace. So much trouble is just to ensure that nothing is missed."

His words were full of perfunctory tone, and it was clear that he was deliberately looking for faults and trying to accuse someone.

"Princess, although we are old acquaintances, I have to strictly follow the official business."

After saying that, Cheng Yi signaled his men to start taking action, and for a moment, there was a commotion everywhere.

Search teams poured in like a tide, and the princess's residence instantly became the center of chaos.

The maids' screams and the man's rough shouts were intertwined.

Cheng Yi sat leisurely on the chair brought by his subordinates.

He crossed his legs high in the air, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with him.

Facing Cheng Yi's outrageous behavior, Su Yi could no longer suppress his anger: "Master Cheng, this is Prince Yi's mansion. Aren't you afraid of angering Prince Yi and being severely punished by your arrogant behavior?"

Her voice was firm and cold, like the brightest star in the night sky, shining with an inviolable light.

"Prince Yi?"

Cheng Yi raised a trace of disdain at the corner of his mouth. His robe rustled as he stood up. He approached the weak but stubborn Su Yi with a provocative and contemptuous look in his eyes. "Prince Yi is devoted to Buddhism and has long forgotten the troubles of the world. It's a pity that such a beautiful flower like you has to stay alone in an empty room and endure the torment of loneliness. Come with me. I promise to pity you and love you."

After he finished speaking, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stretched out his finger with a hint of frivolity.

He slowly looked towards Su Yi's beautiful and elegant face, and the air seemed to freeze.

Su Yi was furious, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand without hesitation.

A loud slap landed cleanly on Cheng Yi's face.

The lingering sound made everyone around tremble with fear.

"A despicable villain becomes arrogant when he succeeds!"

Her voice was firm and cold, like icicles in the cold wind.

At the side, the elderly Mother Feng was quick-eyed and quick-handed, with her slightly hunched back.

He resolutely stood in front of Su Yi, like an indestructible shield.

He stared at Cheng Yi vigilantly, not letting him go any further.

Cheng Yi's face was gloomy, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his tongue licked his lips lightly.

A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if a storm was brewing.

At this time, the servants who came with him were like wolves entering the house, turning the entire courtyard upside down.

Things were scattered all over the floor, and even worse, some people stole things.

After looting a lot of valuables, he returned and reported to Cheng Yi.

"Sir, we have searched everywhere and found nothing unusual."

A servant bowed his head and reported tremblingly.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi was furious and kicked the servant who reported: "Useless! Nothing unusual? I could tell something was wrong at first glance!"

The servant was terrified and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy: "My eyes are not sharp, please tell me clearly, sir."

Cheng Yi waved his finger and pointed at an old woman with a weathered face at the edge of the crowd: "Look at that old woman, there is murderous intent in her eyes, she must be in the same group as the assassin!"

This finger was pointed directly at Mother Feng, who had loyally protected Su Yi for many years!

Su Yi was horrified. If the charge of being an "accomplice of the assassination" was confirmed, the consequences would be disastrous.

At the very least, you may lose your life, and at worst, your entire clan may be implicated!

Cheng Yi is obviously taking advantage of the situation to settle personal grudges!

"Mom is my closest maid. She has been by my side since she was young. She has nothing to do with assassins!"

Su Yi hurriedly explained, his words filled with anxiety and indignation.

Cheng Yi disagreed and sneered, "Princess, you may have been blinded by this old woman. You can tell from her unkind look that she is not a good person."

"You said she was an accomplice. What's the real evidence?"

Su Yi's voice was as cold as ice as he asked back.

Cheng Yi spread his hands nonchalantly: "As for the evidence, take it back to the mansion for a strict interrogation, and the truth will come out. If she is stubborn, I have my own way to pry her mouth open."

Su Yi's anger spread like wildfire, and Cheng Yi even wanted to abuse lynching. Where is justice in this world?

"Just take action and take the person away!"

As soon as Cheng Yi gave the order, some people immediately started to make moves, intending to capture Mother Feng.

Seeing this, Su Yi stepped forward, stood in front of her mother, and said firmly: "Who dares to touch her! She is innocent!"

"Princess Yi, are you going to protect the assassin? Are you the real mastermind behind this?"

Cheng Yi's words were as sharp as a knife, putting Su Yi in an irretrievable situation.

Mother Feng tried to dissuade them: "Princess, if you are upright, you have nothing to fear. I will just follow them. Please don't embarrass you."

There is no such thing as the innocent being innocent. This is clearly intended to push them into an endless abyss.

Su Yi knew the situation clearly, but was powerless to change it. He could only watch as Mother Feng was forcibly taken away.

The sadness and anger in my heart intertwined into a river.

Just when Su Yi was determined to turn around and leave, escaping this suffocating scene, Cheng Yi pretended to be concerned and asked, "Where are you going, Princess?"

"This princess wants to go see Prince Yi!"
