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

Suddenly, Su Rao decided to change her strategy. She wanted Prince Yi to take the initiative to break the existing peace.

Once he is drawn into the vortex of the struggle for the crown prince, how can the Huo family dare to act recklessly again?

So, Su Rao asked tentatively: "Prince Yi, can I stay in Jingxin Pavilion to accompany you tonight?"

Her eyes were crystal clear, and she looked expectantly at Prince Yi's angular face, especially those phoenix eyes, which seemed to be able to captivate people and make them irresistible.

Su Rao deliberately moved closer, her soft body almost touching him.

Her graceful curves were faintly visible under her clothes, her eyes were shining with an alluring and slightly provocative light, her voice was sweet but not greasy, and it touched people's hearts: "Prince Yi~"

However, what she got in response was two simple and cold words: "Go away."

Su Rao was stunned, then slowly stood up straight, feeling mixed emotions.

She didn't understand why this Buddhist practitioner was so irritable and spoke in such displeasure.

She turned away sadly, and couldn't help asking herself, is Prince Yi's temper really becoming more and more unpredictable?

How could a person who practices Buddhism so devotedly lose the Buddhist peace and composure so easily?

Is there any unknown secret hidden behind this?

Su Rao slowly walked into her elegant courtyard. The surroundings were quiet, and only the sound of her footsteps left a series of crisp echoes on the stone path. The afterglow of the setting sun shone obliquely, giving the blue bricks and black tiles a soft golden edge.

There were luxuriant flowers and trees in the courtyard, and a few faint fragrances wafted in the wind, but they could not hide the slight ripple in Su Rao's heart.

Soon, the maid on the princess's side came over lightly, her voice gentle and respectful: "Miss Su, the princess said that it is time for dinner, please move over."

Su Rao nodded slightly, secretly wondering if this sudden invitation concealed some unknown arrangement.

When I returned to the house, I saw Mother Feng busy directing the servants to place the dishes. A picture of color, fragrance and taste gradually spread out on the table. Various delicacies were arranged in a staggered manner, and the aroma was overflowing, which made people's appetite grow.

Su Rao picked up her chopsticks and tasted the food. Every dish was carefully prepared. A satisfied smile appeared on her face as she enjoyed this brief moment of tranquility.

However, the eldest sister Su Yi seemed to be worried during the meal.

He tapped the dishes with his chopsticks, but didn't eat much. His brows were filled with worry, as if there was some unspeakable secret stuck in his throat.

After Su Rao finished her meal and the dishes were in disarray, Su Yi finally broke the silence: "After that night, Prince Yi never let you stay overnight in Jingxin Pavilion again, right?"

Su Rao raised her eyes, her gaze sharp: "Could it be that the person in the palace said something harsh to you again?"

Su Yi pursed her lips and nodded weakly to confirm everything.

Behind this silent action lies the blame and grievance that the eldest sister was once again forced to endure.

"Today, the mother in the palace brought a message specially."

Su Yi's tone was calm, but he could not hide the worry in his heart.

"What did she say?"

Su Rao asked, already having a bad feeling in her heart.

Su Yi opened her red lips slightly, her voice as soft as a mosquito: "My mother told me that Prince Yi stays locked up in the Buddhist temple all day, and doesn't care about anything in the outside world. I hope I can persuade you to try to enlighten him, so that he can get out of his self-enclosed world and feel the sunshine outside."

These words coming out of Su Yi's mouth were already extremely euphemistic, but the meaning behind them pointed directly to a cruel fact.

Having the king's favor, but finding it difficult to even achieve the most basic communication, isn't this kind of favor in name only?

Su Rao's mind was clear, and she could see the secret even if it was not told to her directly.

The honor and favor in the eyes of outsiders may just be an illusion.

Once Prince Yi's knot is not resolved, her position will be as shaky as the fallen leaves in late autumn.

The future of the two sisters seems to be shrouded in a thick haze.

The next day, Su Rao went to Jingxin Pavilion with hope, but was unexpectedly defeated by the cruel reality.

The gatekeeper, Mo Yi, looked apologetic, but his eyes revealed an unquestionable determination: "Madam Rao, it is really difficult to disobey the order of the Lord. Prince Yi has ordered that if you insist on entering, I will have to leave the palace and never return."

Su Rao looked around unwillingly, trying to find other ways, but found that all possible gaps were blocked, even the dog hole that seemed inconspicuous on weekdays was blocked tightly.

"This time, the prince is determined not to see you."

Every word Mo Yi said was heavy, like a huge rock pressing on Su Rao's heart.

Su Rao was stunned and murmured to herself: "What did I do wrong?"

Mo Yi shook his head, equally confused.

In this helpless situation, Su Rao could only turn around sadly and set off on her journey home with heavy steps.

Her experience quickly became the talk of the town, and soon spread beyond the palace walls into the inner palace.

Immediately afterwards, a cold imperial edict came like a chilly winter wind, summoning Su Yi to the palace for an audience.

Su Yi's face suddenly turned pale, and Su Rao couldn't help but feel a heavy sense of uneasiness in her heart.

This sudden summons undoubtedly foreshadows a dangerous road ahead.

Su Yi knew all too well the intentions and methods of those mothers.

Everything at this moment is undoubtedly a naked threat, and the Queen is using this to issue a warning!

Su Yi tried hard to maintain his outward calm and sat upright at the table, but his hands involuntarily gripped the edge of the table, revealing his inner anxiety and fear.

Su Rao called softly: "Sister."

Su Yi suddenly looked up, their eyes met, and he forced a weak smile.

"Don't worry, the queen just wants me to go to the palace to chat about family matters. It's no big deal." Su

Yi's words were both to comfort Su Rao and to encourage himself.

Su Rao snuggled up to her sister. The fate of the two sisters seemed to have been crushed by the wheel of fate. The helplessness and suffering were more tormenting than any punishment.

Su Rao forced a smile: "The prince and I just had a little temper, I will go and coax him, and soon the storm will pass. Fall out of favor? How can the king change so easily when he loves me so much?"

Although her words were joking, they could not hide the sadness behind the lie.

In comparison, her concealment skills are better and she sounds more serious.

Su Yi listened and her eyes couldn't help but flush. The hearts of the two sisters were closely connected at this moment, facing the unknown storms together.

"Rao'er, I'm sorry."

Su Yi's voice sounded particularly low in the quiet air, like the lightest sigh in the night, "In the quiet and majestic Huo Hou Mansion, I met Yin Taochen, the gentle man with deep affection in his eyes. He wanted to take me away from all this and elope."

When Su Rao heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, followed by a barely perceptible worry.

Deep down in her heart, she was vaguely aware of the clear feelings between her elder sister and Yin Taochen.

But I never expected that the flame of emotion could be so intense.

Yin Taochen is always so quiet and elegant like a scholar.
