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

She was very far away from him, except for the maid standing behind her...

But this thought was fleeting. The maid immediately ran to call for help after she fell into the water, and now she has disappeared, and there is no way to verify it.

"Your clothes are all wet, be careful not to catch a cold. I'll go back with you to change clothes."

Fang Yuan's words were full of care.

Following Fang Yuan, Su Rao returned to the courtyard.

Fang Yuan handed her a set of clean new clothes and directed her to the guest room next door to change.

Stepping into the guest room, Su Rao was about to undress from her wet clothes, but she didn't know where a pair of prying eyes were passing through the crack in the door, locking onto her graceful figure, with an obsession and desire that was difficult to conceal in that gaze.

Noticing the strange gaze, Su Rao stopped moving and looked around the room vigilantly.

Her eyes finally fell on the painting hanging in the corner of the room, revealing a meaningful smile...

She gently moved the ancient painting in front of her aside. At that moment, the air seemed to freeze and only her own rapid breathing could be heard.

What comes into view is not a boring wall, but a wooden door that has been carved by time and hidden almost perfectly.

Su Rao's pupils shrank slightly, and a look of disbelief and astonishment appeared on her beautiful face, and her face turned a barely perceptible pale.

Her fingertips lightly touched the door frame, and the cold touch seemed to indicate that the secret about to be revealed was not simple.

An ominous premonition enveloped her heart, and she subconsciously wanted to withdraw and return to find a safe haven.

However, just as he turned to leave, the door opened silently.

A tall man walked out from behind the door. He looked gentle and elegant, with a hint of bookishness between his brows, but it could not hide the subtle greed in the depths of his eyes.

This greed cast a shadow over his already handsome facial features.

Su Rao's heart suddenly sank, and she murmured, "King Qi..."

Before she could say anything, the King of Qi flashed in front of her, and suddenly put one arm around her waist with such strength that it seemed to melt her into his bones, while the other hand tightly covered her lips.

Su Rao panicked and struggled with all her might, but the hand became even tighter, as if trying to squeeze out her last bit of strength.

His eyes wandered over her delicate body, bringing with them an indescribable disgust and fear, as if countless tiny bugs were wriggling beneath her skin, making her almost nauseous.

There was no doubt that all this happened deliberately. The falling into the water, the opportunity to change clothes, everything was done to allow the King of Qi to wait for her arrival quietly in this quiet corner.

Recalling what happened last time in Liang Mansion, the King of Qi's evil intentions were already obvious.

It is really frightening to see that the King of Qi, who was extreme in his actions and had a morbid obsession with what he wanted, set up such a perfect trap to achieve his goal.

Su Rao had mixed feelings. In her previous life, she was able to escape from the sea of ​​suffering with her bruised and battered body. But in this life, how should she find a way to survive in this intricate chess game?

As my thoughts wandered, the figures of brother and sister Fang Mo and Fang Yuan appeared in my mind.

Su Rao knew very well that they had most likely been drawn into this huge chess game.

Fang Mo's loyalty to King Qi is evident to all. Once the King of Qi makes a request, he will obey without hesitation.

Realizing this, Su Rao felt even more depressed.

In this way, the King of Qi will no longer have any scruples.

Su Rao let out a faint whimper from her throat, but it was suppressed by the strong hand.

The voice of the King of Qi was overbearing: "My beauty, don't waste your time asking for help, just follow me. I can give you the same as the King of Yi, or even more. If you follow him, you will be nothing more than a concubine, but I will make you my concubine."

Su Rao sneered inwardly, concubine?

Behind this glamorous-sounding title, is it actually a puppet life with all hands and feet tied?

But on the surface she appeared submissive, nodded slightly and pretended to agree.

When the King of Qi saw this, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. Deep down in his heart, he actually hoped that Su Rao would show fierce resistance, and it would be best if she would rather die than obey his orders. That way, he would have a more reasonable excuse to destroy her.

Su Rao pretended to be shy and gently pushed the King of Qi away: "My Lord, you are indeed a thousand times better than the King of Yi, but I have a secret in my heart that I cannot tell you..."

"I can protect you well." King Qi said confidently.

Su Rao shook her head, her eyes full of pity: "Although Prince Yi is not as powerful as you, the Queen is still in power. If I follow you, the Queen will not let me go easily."

"As long as I am here, the Queen won't dare to act rashly." The King of Qi said in a firm tone.

Just as Su Rao was about to explain herself again and delay time, the King of Qi seemed to have run out of patience.

He was no longer interested in unnecessary comforting and only wanted to uncover as soon as possible the mystery of what kind of charm the woman had that made Zhao Huaijue willing to break the rules to fight for her.

"No need to say more, I will give you the identity and status you deserve." Before the King of Qi finished speaking, he once again pulled Su Rao into his arms, his hands roaming over her delicate skin.

Su Rao clenched her teeth and forced herself to suppress her inner disgust and aversion, but her mind was racing, thinking of a way to escape.

No matter what, we must not let the King of Qi achieve his goal.

Once this last line of defense is lost, she, Su Rao, will truly step into a desperate situation where she has nowhere to hide and is surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Her gaze slowly fell on the gleaming blue and white porcelain vase on the table, and a hint of coldness flashed across the depths of her eyes.

If all means have been exhausted, then she has prepared herself mentally for a situation where both sides will perish and the net will be destroyed.

At this critical moment, Su Rao's fingers quietly climbed up the edge of the cold vase.

At this moment, there was a sudden rapid and slightly rude knocking sound outside the door.

"Who is making noise here?" The King of Qi's voice was majestic, his face was distorted, and he revealed a hint of displeasure.

"I have an extremely urgent matter and must report it to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi immediately." The person outside the door responded in a steady and powerful voice.

The King of Qi had a gloomy expression and a frown on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he finally stood up and slowly opened the door.

Outside the door, Fang Mo lowered his head, his attitude respectful and almost humble, as if he was the most inconspicuous shadow in the night.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by this sudden change, Su Rao nimbly turned around and slipped out of the room quietly, still not daring to slow down in her panic.

Just as she calmed down from the shock, she suddenly heard a voice with a hint of command in her ears: "Miss Su, please follow me."

The voice came from the maid who had tried to push her into the abyss by the river.

Su Rao turned around, her eyes as sharp as a blade, and stared coldly at the maid. She said nothing, but her mind was filled with thousands of thoughts.
