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

In order to seek justice for his relatives, he studied hard, eventually achieved fame and entered the court.

But what is chilling is that the imperial court has long been riddled with holes due to the infiltration of the Huo family's power. The rise of Prince Qi, in particular, has made the Huo family even more powerful and almost invincible.

In this game of thrones, not only did he fail to clear the injustice for his family, but he himself was dragged into the vortex and eventually died unjustly, leaving behind an infamy that will last for generations.

After being reborn, he thought he would have a chance to change everything, but fate seemed to always have invisible shackles on him. He was still unable to save Awan's life, and could not get rid of the engagement with the Huo family. Was he really going to give in, marry Huo Chengjun, and become a pawn of the Huo family?

Thinking of this, Yin Taochen's heart was filled with resentment and indignation. He hated those powerful people who treated other people's lives as worthless, but it seemed that he was destined to dance with this group of sinister and cruel people.

At this moment, he was sitting alone on the doorstep, his fingers accidentally touching the short blade hidden in his arms. The cold touch was just like his mood at the moment.

Just as his thoughts were in flux, a pair of exquisite shoes appeared before him, interrupting his meditations.

Looking up, I saw the butler of the Huo family, who always had a contemptuous look on his face, standing there, his eyes full of arrogance and disdain.

"Mr. Yu, my lady invites you."

The butler's voice was cold and mechanical.

Yin Taochen stood up slowly, his face expressionless, and said indifferently: "Please lead the way."

So he followed the butler through the intricate streets and alleys, and finally stopped in front of a remote but elegantly decorated restaurant.

This restaurant located in Luodu is just a tiny part of the Huo family's huge industry.

On the second floor of the restaurant, in a luxuriously decorated private room, a young girl stood quietly with her back to the door.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, she turned around happily and called out with joy, "Mr. Yu."

His eyes were filled with admiration and anticipation.

But Yin Taochen's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he clearly remembered how cold and ruthless this seemingly gentle woman was when he was most helpless in his previous life.

In that life, when his uncle was framed and imprisoned, he was also imprisoned.

In hunger and despair, after not eating for five days, just when the fire of life was about to go out, a bowl of fragrant broth was brought to him.

He drank the broth almost instinctively and gained the power of rebirth.

Just as he was about to run around for his uncle again, he heard the shocking news that his uncle had been tortured to death, and the broth that temporarily restored his vitality was actually...

The biggest difference between this life and his previous life is that he has already grasped fame and fortune in his hands and is no longer the helpless scholar he used to be.

With a raging fire of revenge burning in his heart, he vowed to clear the grievances of his uncle's family and pay the blood debt with blood.

In his official career, he walked on thin ice and struggled to move forward. Fortunately, he had a mentor with a discerning eye to rely on. Along the way, he not only preserved his own innocence, but also left a voice of praise in the political arena.

But every time he tried to speak up for his innocent uncle, it was as if an invisible barrier stood in front of him, making every step he took difficult.

In the end, he was inexplicably accused of "corruption", forced to leave his home and exiled to a sparsely populated remote area. This heavy blow even affected his mentor, causing the old man to suffer innocently and spending his later years in misery.

It was not until today that he suddenly realized that he seemed to have always been tightly controlled by an invisible hand and had never been truly free.

She seemed to enjoy watching him, wavering between hope and despair, struggling painfully in the mud of the world just to satisfy her indescribable pleasure.

Why?

Simply because she was the only daughter of the powerful Madam Huo and the distinguished cousin of the King of Qi!

This identity was like an insurmountable mountain. As the power of the King of Qi grew, the oppression on him became heavier, making him feel unprecedentedly suffocated and powerless.

Yin Taochen lowered his eyelids slightly, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, hiding his eyes that were burning with anger and hatred, trying to hide the turbulent waves in his heart under calmness.

"May I ask your surname?"

There was a subtle coldness in his voice.

"I, Huo Chengjun, fell in love with Master Yu at first sight during a tea party at the Huo Mansion."

Huo Chengjun opened her red lips slightly, her eyes revealing sincere emotions.

She was not only attracted by Yin Taochen's outstanding appearance, but also attracted by his profound knowledge and talent.

Faced with Yin Taochen's polite yet distant rejection, Huo Chengjun did not back down. Instead, her possessiveness was aroused to the extreme. She vowed to make this cold and arrogant man her own!

"Ms. Huo's love is wrong. Yu really doesn't deserve it."

Yin Taochen responded calmly.

"As long as I want to."

Huo Chengjun raised a confident smile, "I heard that your cousin was imprisoned in the imperial prison? I have three cousins ​​working there, maybe they can help find out the truth and clear your cousin's name!"

Yin Taochen sneered in his heart, why would such a small theft case alarm the Jinyiwei?

It was obvious that all of this was deliberately created by her cousins ​​who took advantage of their power to create this dilemma in order to get a hold of him and force him to submit...

Seeing that he remained silent, Huo Chengjun seemed a little impatient, so she said directly: "Mr. Yu, if you are willing to marry me, your cousin will naturally be safe and sound."

Yin Taochen lowered his head, and silence became his best answer.

Seeing this, Huo Chengjun changed the subject: "If Prince Yi knew about the affair between you and Princess Yi..."

Before he finished speaking, Yin Taochen suddenly raised his head, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring directly at Huo Chengjun.

Huo Chengjun caught the nervousness in his eyes. It turned out that Su Yi was his weak spot.

On the one hand, she was secretly delighted that she was about to get her lover, but on the other hand, she felt unwilling and jealous that Yin Taochen had someone else in his heart.

"After marriage, everything in the past will be gone like smoke and clouds, and I will never bring up the past again."

Huo Chengjun made a promise.

Yin Taochen took a deep breath, seemed to have made a great decision, and finally nodded and agreed to the marriage.

By doing this, at least the safety of my uncle's family can be guaranteed, and Awan can be protected from being implicated.

Huo Chengjun's smile was bright and dazzling.

……

On the other side, in the deep courtyard of Yu’s house.

After a long separation, Yu Yuan was finally released and returned.

Qian held her son's arm tightly, looking at him again and again, tears in her eyes, filled with gratitude and joy for surviving the disaster.

"That's great. As long as Yuan'er comes back safely, I feel relieved."

Qian firmly believed that it was Yin Taochen who used his connections to rescue Yu Yuan. From then on, her attitude towards Yin Taochen changed greatly and she was full of gratitude.

"It's all thanks to Tao'er. He has suffered so much."
