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

But on the surface, he still maintained that anxious acting style. The tacit understanding between the two of them did not require words, and they perfectly performed a wonderful "misunderstanding".

Miss He, the daughter of a noble family who always behaves with a bit of arrogance

A jaw-dropping game suggestion was made.

She had to hold the bow herself, and he, holding the apple, would be the motionless target.

Please don't blame her, she didn't do it on purpose, it was just her poor archery skills.

Sister, if I encounter any misfortune in this game, please inform the prince and do not let those innocent people be implicated...

Su Rao tried hard to hold up her weak body. Her voice was as thin as a thread, and her words revealed fatigue and helplessness that were difficult to conceal.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to He Lianyun.

Everyone was amazed in their hearts, how could this woman be so courageous as to dare to try to attack the person under the chess king's seat?

Isn't this kind of behavior like stroking a tiger's whiskers?

He Lianyun was panicked for a moment, at a loss for words: "I...I really didn't, I didn't get close to her at all, let alone hurt her!"

Her defense was like a leaf swaying in the wind, fragile and unstable.

"No, this matter has nothing to do with Miss He. It was my own carelessness."

Although Su Rao was exhausted, there was an irresistible gentleness and tolerance in her voice, as if she was deliberately making excuses for the other party.

The crowd discussed secretly. They had never expected Su Rao to have such a broad mind. In comparison, He Lianyun's behavior seemed particularly sarcastic and petty.

This contrast made He Lianyun feel so frustrated that she almost exploded.

"Things are not what you think. Cheng Jun witnessed everything! Cheng Jun, tell them quickly that I didn't touch Su Rao at all, right?"

He Lianyun's eyes were full of anticipation, and she looked at Huo Chengjun eagerly, hoping that she could testify for her.

However, Huo Chengjun simply turned his head away indifferently, his gaze drifting into the distance, obviously unwilling to be involved in this dispute anymore.

She knew in her heart that being manipulated by such a scheming woman would only make her become extremely stupid, and she did not want to become a laughing stock in the eyes of others.

At this time, He Lianyun's aunt interrupted at the right time: "Madam Rao, can I check your injuries?"

These words brought a hint of joy to He Lianyun's heart. Yes, if no scars were found, wouldn't it be direct proof that Su Rao was lying?

Su Rao tightly protected her injured part, and said firmly: "Sorry, no. The prince once ordered that only he is allowed to check my body. If you see it, and the prince has a grudge against me because of it, what should I do?"

Her words showed both adherence to principles and subtle sarcasm towards He Lianyun's side.

He Lianyun's aunt was suddenly speechless and the situation became awkward.

Su Yi ordered coldly: "Rao'er, I will take you back to the palace."

As she was about to help Su Rao get up and leave, Madam Huo stopped her with a gentle but firm gesture: "Princess, please take a rest first. I have sent someone to invite a doctor. If Madam Rao is really injured here, it will not be easy to calm down the public opinion outside."

Mrs. Huo's words were so powerful that Su Yi could only reluctantly nod in agreement.

Afterwards, Mrs. Huo properly arranged a quiet courtyard for Su Yi and Su Rao to rest temporarily.

Not long after, a doctor with a serious expression rushed over and took Su Rao's pulse through the gauze bed curtain.

"Doctor, my sister has already treated my wounds. You just need to prescribe some tonic medicine."

Although Su Rao's tone was weak, it revealed an unquestionable determination.

The doctor naturally did not dare to neglect the people of Prince Yi, so he responded respectfully, wrote out a prescription and hurriedly left.

Su Rao was still lying on the bed, curled up weakly, occasionally letting out a few subtle moans.

Mrs. Huo knew that all this might just be an act, but she was constrained by her status and the occasion.

He could only force a smile and reminded Su Rao to have a good rest and eat after she had recovered her energy.

As soon as Mrs. Huo stepped out of the door, her face instantly became gloomy.

"Madam, this Miss Su is indeed a difficult character."

The personal maid whispered beside her.

Mrs. Huo nodded slightly, thinking to herself that she could still handle the challenges posed by the ladies from wealthy families.

Even those who are cunning and calculating can be controlled, but those with such shameless hearts are the most difficult to deal with.

What made her even more headache was that there was a powerful backer behind the other party.

"It is indeed not easy to deal with. I must go to the palace tomorrow to discuss countermeasures with my sister."

Mrs. Huo made up her mind secretly.

And when Mrs. Huo disappeared outside the door, Su Rao's humming miraculously stopped, and the room returned to silence.

Su Yi's fingers gently touched Su Rao's forehead, and his action contained subtle emotions of both blame and love.

"After all this trouble, do you feel relieved?"

Although there was a hint of blame in her words, her gentle and soft tone was like the spring drizzle, full of indulgence and consideration for her sister.

"When they are frustrated, I feel relieved."

Su Rao's answer was clear and concise, without any hesitation, and there was a hint of imperceptible stubbornness in her frank eyes.

Su Yi sighed softly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

"If the gossip behind this spreads, it will never be a good thing."

In a feudal society with strict ethics, women's behavior is always under strict scrutiny.

Anything that is out of the ordinary is enough to become the focus of public opinion.

As women, they have been taught since childhood to abide by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. Any behavior that goes beyond the norm will be labeled as "disrespectful" and "improper."

To outsiders, Su Rao's protest, which disregarded her image, sounded...

It is likely that the story will be exaggerated to portray her as a shameless woman.

"Fame is nothing but floating clouds to me."

A faint smile appeared on Su Rao's lips, as if she was mocking the various constraints in her previous life.

She was a woman who followed the rules and traditions.

Won a good reputation praised by the world, but in the end.

To her, all that was nothing but illusion, illusory and cold.

Su Yi's eyes were deeply locked on Su Rao, his expression was complex and difficult to read, as if at that moment.

She tried to look through her sister's eyes and peek into her heart that was no longer trapped by the world.

She moved closer to Su Rao, her voice low and serious:

"Rao'er, are you really not attached to the position of princess?"

This question seemed to carry a heavy weight, and every word revealed her confusion and worry.

In her opinion, if she could gain the prince's favor and give birth to a child.

Then she can firmly grasp the position of princess, and all of this.

All seem to require an impeccable reputation as a foundation.

Su Rao shook her head gently, her eyes filled with boredom with the cumbersome life of the past.

"That high and mighty position is too heavy, how can one be happy?"
