Marrying a concubine to seduce him and lure him into the game
Chapter 27 Fear
Su Yi's answer was resounding and unquestionable.
"Prince Yi is currently in seclusion and meditation. Disturbing him late at night may anger him. Princess, please think carefully."
Cheng Yi's tone was exaggerated, but his eyes were flickering with cunning.
Su Yi turned a deaf ear to this. To her, even if she angered King Yi, she would die.
It is better than lingering in this darkness without any dignity!
"Since the princess firmly believes that the old woman is innocent, why don't you find a secluded place with me? The princess can explain everything to me in detail, and perhaps there will be a turnaround?"
Cheng Yi followed behind him, speaking threateningly, and it was obvious that he had other intentions.
Su Yi's steps were light and firm as she walked along the cobblestone path in the courtyard. Every step seemed to strengthen her determination to move forward.
Cheng Yi's gaze, like an invisible thread, tightly wrapped around her graceful and upright back.
The original gentleness in his eyes was gradually replaced by a layer of gloom, revealing a hint of imperceptible sinisterness and jealousy.
Prince Yi, the king who is known to the world for being so obsessed with Buddhism that he is almost detached from the world.
I have always been indifferent to worldly troubles, so how could I easily get involved in such worldly disputes?
Cheng Yi sneered in his heart, predicting that Su Yi would definitely be treated coldly in Prince Yi's Mansion.
She will be there with nowhere to turn to, and experience what it feels like to be rejected.
In the end, I had no choice but to turn back and condescend to ask him for help!
A cunning plan quietly formed in Cheng Yi's mind. He chuckled twice, with a calculating gleam in his eyes.
He believed that he was blessed by the emperor, and that his cousin's position as crown prince was as secure as a rock.
Even Prince Yi's majesty seemed insignificant in his eyes.
At this moment, his arrogance and pride reached their peak.
Inside the Jingxin Pavilion, the Buddhist temple stands silently, like a pure land far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
Su Yi stopped outside the Buddhist temple. This was her second time standing here.
The first time she set foot on this holy land was on her wedding night.
She was led here in a lonely and mysterious atmosphere, hoping to find a little warm comfort.
However, Prince Yi's gaze never lingered on her for long. His indifference was like the cold winter wind, biting and distant.
In the night, the Buddhist hall of Jingxin Pavilion appears even more secluded.
It was like the quietly open mouth of a giant beast, hiding all of Su Yi's unspoken fears and unknowns.
Thinking that Su Rao might still be trapped in that dark place, her heart felt as if it was being torn by sharp claws, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly control herself.
At this moment, Cheng Yi's men were rummaging through the drawers and cabinets in Jingxin Pavilion without any scruples, causing a lot of noise.
Suddenly, a clear and majestic voice of a young man sounded.
That was Mo Yi's stern rebuke. He was extremely angry at such rude behavior.
"In compliance with His Majesty's order, search for the assassin's traces."
Cheng Yi responded with a condescending attitude, his tone full of unquestionableness.
But Mo Yi was not easily convinced. He questioned, "You disturbed the people late at night and invaded the quiet place of Prince Yi's Mansion without permission. Aren't you afraid of angering the prince and causing unbearable consequences?"
Cheng Yi cunningly tried to conceal his true intentions by using safety as an excuse.
Just as he was about to force his way into the Buddhist temple, a heart-stirring voice suddenly came from inside the door.
Even Cheng Yi, who had seen countless people, immediately understood what that meant when he heard it.
The voice was soft and seductive, like a spring breeze on your face, making your heart beat faster unconsciously.
As the sound faded, the air seemed to freeze for a few seconds, and then, subtle and light footsteps gradually approached until the door was gently opened.
A woman appeared on the threshold. Her black hair was as thick as the night and fell casually. She was wearing a black gauze robe that outlined her graceful figure. She looked mysterious and attractive.
Her feet were small and delicate, her skin was white as snow, and under the dim light, the ambiguous marks on her neck that were so completely hidden were faintly visible.
And when your eyes fall upon her stunning face, you'll see a charming luster in her eyes that seems to be able to captivate people.
Cheng Yi admired the beauty of this woman in his heart.
It's simply impossible to describe it in words. I just felt that every cell in my body was longing to hug her.
An irresistible urge surged in his heart, and he just wanted to hold this stunning beauty in his arms immediately!
Everyone present was dumbfounded when they witnessed this series of events, and the guards of the palace all lowered their heads at the same time.
The atmosphere froze in an instant, and it seemed that even the air was filled with an indescribable tension.
"Rao'er!"
Su Yi walked forward quickly like a swallow hurrying in the spring breeze, his heart agitated.
Surprise and worry intertwined, he hugged his lost sister tightly, "You...you are really okay! Is this...is this true?"
There was a tremor of disbelief in his words, as if he was afraid that this was just a fleeting dream.
There was a soft light flickering in Su Rao's eyes, like the first ray of sunshine after the snow melted in early spring, warm and comforting.
She patted Su Yi's back gently, her voice full of comfort: "Sister, don't worry, I'm really fine. Thanks to some unexpected fate."
When "Lord..."
The two words floated gently from Su Rao's mouth, and everyone at the scene pricked up their ears involuntarily.
The atmosphere suddenly became more subtle.
Su Rao's tone was clear and firm, and every word was like pearls falling on a plate, crisp and pleasant, leaving no room for doubt: "Yes, it was the prince who helped me and kept me safe."
Cheng Yi's heart was filled with turmoil, and he was not completely ignorant of the ins and outs of the matter.
Once Prince Yi had an affair with a woman, he broke the palace rules and regulations.
It means that he may become a strong contender for the throne, and power will once again be concentrated in his hands!
This unexpected change was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Cheng Yi.
Even with his status, he was facing the rising King Yi.
He had to admit defeat, not to mention the King of Qi's attitude towards this matter, he would definitely be more cautious!
Su Yi's mood gradually calmed down, and Su Rao's eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
He turned to Cheng Yi, who looked stunned, and said with irresistible authority in his tone: "Tell me everything about these people and what you did to them."
As Su Yi gave a concise but detailed narration, Cheng Yi's act of forcibly abducting Feng's mother and attempting to torture her was fully exposed.
Su Rao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and anger rose in her chest.
But she suppressed the urge to teach the other party a lesson and maintained her superficial calm.
Cheng Yi saw the opportunity and wanted to defend himself with a flattering smile on his face.
He stretched out his hand to touch Su Rao's jade-like face, and said insincerely: "Little girl, when trying a case, you have to use some tough measures. As a government official, I will uphold the principle of fairness and impartiality. If she is innocent, she should be sent back unharmed."
Before he finished speaking, a burst of crisp applause broke through the air, and a slap landed heavily on Cheng Yi's face.
