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

If it weren't for the subtle hints from that familiar voice and eyes, he would probably have found it difficult to tell the true identity of the person in front of him.

"Prince Xue, you are always charming and irresistible."

There was a hint of joking in Su Rao's words, and the smile in her eyes was even more intense, as if she quite enjoyed this little teasing.

Xue Yanhao's cheeks flushed slightly, looking a little embarrassed but still cute: "Madam Yao, please don't make such jokes again. My appearance is just ordinary. I am lucky to be favored by you."

"Prince Xue is not only outstanding in appearance, but also talented. This is a well-known fact."

Su Rao pointed elegantly to the exquisite chair opposite her as she spoke, her voice soft and inviting, "Please don't be polite, Master Xue. How about sitting down and talking in detail?"

Xue Yanhao sat down a little awkwardly. If his friends and relatives who knew his character well saw this little action, they would definitely be surprised.

After all, when did this prince, who grew up in an environment where everyone was the center of attention, learn to be shy?

Su Rao had her own plans in mind.

Before Prince Yi entered the court, he had a special friendship with Xue Yanhao.

Now, if we want to uncover some of the mysteries of Prince Yi's past, Xue Yanhao is undoubtedly the key.

"Master Xue, how much do you know about the battle that took place in Yunyao Mountain five years ago?" Su Rao went straight to the point and raised the core question directly.

Xue Yanhao's body trembled slightly when he heard the voice, and he glanced around almost instinctively, then lowered his voice to a level that only the two of them could hear: "Madam Yao, it's okay to ask this, but please keep it confidential and don't reveal this to anyone."

Su Rao pretended to be confused, with a hint of teasing between her brows: "What do you mean by that, Master Xue? Why are you so secretive about this matter?"

Xue Yanhao's eyes were slightly heavy as he recalled the past: "This was my father's strict order back then. As for the reason, I don't know. I only know that my father suddenly entered the palace late one night after the Yunyao Mountain Battle, and did not return until the next morning, exhausted and soaking wet. He simply told me that I was not allowed to ask anything about His Royal Highness Prince Yi's time in Yunyao Mountain, nor to talk about it with the outside world. At that moment, my father's eyes were extremely serious, and that kind of unquestionable determination made me unforgettable. Although I tried to ask the reason, my father always kept his mouth shut."

"Since Prince Xue himself is unaware of this, is there anyone who can uncover the secret behind this?"

Su Rao pressed on step by step, asking questions relentlessly.

Xue Yanhao's sharp eyes seemed to see through Su Rao's thoughts: "Madam, why are you showing such strong interest in this matter?"

Su Rao keenly caught Xue Yanhao's alertness because he touched on the sensitive topic of Prince Yi.

On the surface, Xue Yanhao is the gentle and indifferent nobleman, but when it comes to matters concerning Prince Yi, he is extremely sober and cautious, and is very protective of Prince Yi.

Therefore, Su Rao understood that if she wanted to get more information from Xue Yanhao, she had to eliminate his vigilance and make him sure that she had no ill will towards King Yi.

"I have long admired His Royal Highness Prince Yi, and I long to understand his inner world and past experiences more comprehensively and deeply." Su Rao spoke sincerely, her face full of deep and pure yearning for Prince Yi, trying to win Xue Yanhao's trust.

Xue Yanhao's brows were filled with an imperceptible caution, and his tone was a bit inquisitive: "But this level of detail seems to have exceeded the scope of ordinary understanding."

Su Rao sensed the other party's vigilance and immediately put away her previous disguise. Her eyes flashed with unprecedented sincerity and determination: "Deep in my heart, I always have this feeling that the prince's path to returning to the court must be closely related to the battle of Yunyao Mountain. He is not only my shelter, but also the light of hope in my heart. In order for him to step into the center of power again, I must uncover all the fog that conceals the truth and touch the most core secrets."

Her eyes were fixed on Xue Yanhao, full of strength and determination. "Master Xue, you and I have the same aspirations, don't we?"

Compared to Su Rao, Xue Yanhao's desire for Prince Yi to return to the mortal world exceeds anyone else's expectations. It is a desire that is deeply buried in his heart and can almost shake his soul.

After thinking for a while, as if he was measuring the weight of his words, Xue Yanhao finally slowly opened his mouth: "Perhaps, there is someone who can solve all these mysteries."

Su Rao's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had caught a glimmer of light in the darkness.

"Please tell me the details,"

Su Rao said almost pleadingly.

Xue Yanhao opened his red lips slightly, and a name slipped out of his mouth: "Fang Mo."

"Fang Mo? Jinyiwei Captain Fang Mo?"

Su Rao's heart was shocked, and the vague memories of her previous life began to be pieced together in her mind - this man was the most loyal member of King Qi's forces, and his loyalty was as solid as a rock, unwavering.

When the King of Qi became extremely powerful, Fang Mo rose to the top and became the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He was like the sharpest sword in the hands of the King of Qi, monitoring the court and making all officials tremble.

Especially when dealing with the Shen family rebellion case, Fang Mo's ruthlessness is so ruthless that people still shudder when they talk about it.

It was a gloomy day, the sky was full of dark clouds, and Fang Mo was like a ghost descending into the world, stepping on the ground with his black boots as he stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion. The hint of sarcasm on his stern face still makes people feel chilled to the bone.

"Prime Minister? Are you worthy?"

He was extremely cruel to the Shen family, but showed leniency to Su Rao. This abnormal difference in treatment made people wonder about the hidden intention behind it.

Su Rao's heart was filled with emotions as she realized that there was some complex and secret connection between Fang Mo and Prince Yi, and that this secret might be related to the overall situation.

"Yes, it's the Fang Mo you know. It seems that Madam is well-informed, far beyond my imagination."

There was an elusive meaning in Xue Yanhao's words, as if there was more information hidden.

When they first met, Xue Yanhao only thought that Su Rao was stunningly beautiful, surpassing all the women he had ever seen, but at this moment, he realized that she was more than just beautiful.

She is independent and opinionated. She does not completely rely on Prince Yi's protection. She has a clear understanding of her goals and dares to fight for them.

Moreover, she seemed to know a lot of inside information.

"Fang Mo was once the deputy general of Prince Yi." Xue Yanhao's revelation made the context of the matter more complicated.

Could it be that Fang Mo betrayed King Yi?

Did this betrayal happen before or after the battle at Yunyao Mountain?

Yunyao Mountain is undoubtedly a turning point for King Yi and is full of unsolved mysteries.

Just as Su Rao's thoughts were spinning like a windmill, a charming voice interrupted her thoughts: "Master Xue, you are here, it's so easy for me to find you."
