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

All that is left is a silent and reclusive shadow.

It was not until the otherworldly figure of Master Mingkong stepped into the palace that the prince was finally willing to draw aside the curtains, allowing the dim light from the outside world to penetrate into his long-closed world.

But what followed was his decision that shocked the government and the public - to become a Buddhist and seek spiritual liberation.

This sudden change made the Queen Mother worried. She tried hard to persuade the Prince, even at the cost of her own safety, and finally managed to pull him back from the brink of a seemingly pointless road.

Su Rao pondered carefully in her heart that the key to everything might be hidden in the fog of the Yunyao Mountain battle.

Why did Prince Yi choose to give up the prosperity of this world? What kind of thrilling story happened on that battlefield that could make a hero who once took the rise and fall of his country as his own responsibility to think of escaping from this world?

If this knot cannot be untied, it will undoubtedly be harder than climbing to the sky to make Prince Yi go against his inner insistence.

The victory at Yunyao Mountain should have been a moment of celebration, but due to the emperor's unusual attitude, it became confusing.

The records of that battle in historical documents and gossip are either vague or contradictory, as if an invisible hand is secretly erasing the traces of the truth, making everything unclear.

To uncover the mystery of this history, one must either find survivors who experienced the battle and listen to their memories of blood and fire; or let Prince Yi tell the story himself, but both options are fraught with difficulties.

In order to explore the truth of the Battle of Yunyao Mountain, Su Rao began to look for clues in the mansion, but found that apart from Mo Yi, almost no one could provide more help.

Although Mo Yi was loyal to the prince and served him for ten years, he was young when he served him and had never been to the battlefield, so he had no personal memory of the battle.

Su Rao read through a large number of historical archives, trying to find fragments of the truth between the words, but unfortunately, the records of that battle were so scarce, as if someone had deliberately erased it from the history books.

Su Yi noticed Su Rao's thoughts. She was gentle and considerate and was willing to lend a helping hand. However, Su Rao was concerned about the emperor's taboo on this matter and knew that an in-depth investigation might bring unexpected disasters, so she had to politely decline Su Yi's kindness.

The limited resources in the mansion forced Su Rao to find another way.

So, on a dark and windy night, she used her superb disguise skills to completely transform herself from the inside out.

She covered her natural beauty with heavy makeup, making her pretty face look plain and inconspicuous.

Although the disguise could not completely eliminate gender differences, it was at least enough to allow her to blend in with the crowd and avoid unnecessary trouble.

After getting dressed, Su Rao walked into the bustling streets of the capital alone.

At this moment, a familiar figure flashed through the crowd, and several malicious thugs were pressing the thin body deeper into the alley.

The figure was ordinary and fragile, yet inexplicably sympathetic and inspired the softest part of people's hearts.

But no one knows what kind of secrets and cruelty are hidden behind this weak appearance.

"Hey, what do you want to do?"

The voice trembled with helplessness.

"Haha, what do you think?"

The villains had ferocious looks on their faces and were approaching step by step.

"Please, let me go..."

The woman fell to her knees in tears. Her helpless cry echoed in the narrow alley, stirring up the long-lost chivalrous spirit in Su Rao's heart.

In the memory of another time and space, Su Rao also stepped forward without hesitation due to momentary passion.

At that time, the woman's eyes were filled with gratitude, and her tears turned into the most sincere thanks. She was endlessly grateful to Su Rao for saving her life...

Su Rao accidentally learned that her father, whom she seldom mentioned in daily life, had a despicable bad habit. He was addicted to gambling and was even so crazy that he wanted to sell his own daughter as a commodity on the gambling table to a dying old man in exchange for a moment of money to squander.

Out of the most instinctive kindness and sympathy in her heart, Su Rao resolutely decided that she could not sit idly by.

She opened her private cash box, which contained the wealth she had accumulated bit by bit.

But she spent all the money without hesitation just to rescue this woman who had no relatives to her, so that she could escape her tragic fate. She took her in, made her a maid, and gave her a new start.

However, the world is fickle and human hearts are hard to predict.

Instead of feeling grateful, the rescued woman secretly tried to seduce Su Rao's husband while Su Rao was busy dealing with tedious affairs, attempting to use this as a shortcut to changing her own destiny.

This behavior was eventually exposed. Su Rao, in extreme anger and disappointment, ended this evil relationship with her own hands, gave him the lesson he deserved, and then kicked him out of the house as a punishment.

What is even more unexpected is that she actually secretly assisted Shen Jinghong and Qian Xier in their conspiracy, making the relationship between the two characters even more complicated.

After betraying Su Rao, she suddenly became Qian Xier's personal maid. She took advantage of Qian Xier's preference for her and enjoyed treatment that was even better than that of her master, completely disregarding the feelings of Su Rao who had helped her.

Such a person is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. She never knows how to be grateful to those who lend a helping hand. She only knows how to repay kindness with resentment and use the kindness of others to satisfy her own selfish desires.

However, her pitiful appearance was so deceptive that passers-by couldn't help but look at her with sympathy when they saw her trapped among ruffians.

But faced with those aggressive thugs, no one dared to stand up, even though they felt very sorry.

Only Su Rao had a cold look in her eyes, as if she was ready to stand by and watch, and was about to turn around and leave.

At this moment, another figure suddenly appeared, breaking the tense atmosphere.

"stop!"

A clear and powerful shout cut through the noise, followed by a mysterious woman with a half-veiled face.

Su Rao took a closer look and knew who it was: her sister, Su Wan.

"Let her go!"

Su Wan pointed directly at the thug, her voice was soft but firm.

The ruffians sneered and asked why they should let go, mentioning the debt of one hundred taels, as if they were mocking the seemingly frail woman in front of them.

"One hundred taels? I'll give it to you!"

Su Wan's answer was crisp and clear, but the moment she actually took out the silver, her fingertips trembled slightly.

Once upon a time, for her who came from a prominent family, one hundred taels might have been just a drop in the bucket, but after experiencing the financial pressure brought by the disease and the huge expenses required to maintain the daily life of the Shen family, the money seemed to become flowing water, and the dowry gradually decreased.

Now, if she were to use this hundred taels on herself, she would not hesitate at all, but if it was for others...
