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

As long as this love Gu is successfully implanted into the prince's body, he will be completely devoted to her and fall deeply in love with her.

At that time, all the favor and attention will be concentrated on her, and Su Rao, that self-righteous woman, will naturally be completely forgotten and reduced to being despised.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xueyuan couldn't help but feel a surge of pleasure of revenge in her heart, and she looked forward to the future more and more.

However, problems arose one after another.

"This love poison can only be effective when it is administered close to the body, but I can't even see the prince right now." Because of the previous dispute, she had been strictly forbidden by the prince to get close, and she was not even allowed to step into the door of Jingxin Pavilion.

"My queen, although it is inconvenient for you, others may be able to take advantage of it." Mother Gui's words made everything clear.

Zhao Xueyuan's eyes flashed, and she stared at Mother Gui closely. She had guessed about 70% of the answer in her heart: "You mean... to use that girl Chenyu?"

Mother Gui nodded slightly to show her agreement.

Zhao Xueyuan came up with a plan and smiled smugly: "What a great idea! This way, not only can we ensure that the plan is foolproof, but we can also let Su Rao push the prince towards me. Once the matter is exposed, she will regret it and live a life worse than death."

The idea excited her so much that she couldn't wait to take action.

……

The next morning, as the sun was just beginning to shine, Su Rao held a box of exquisite pastries in her hands, preparing to go to Jingxin Pavilion to visit Chenyu.

As they were walking, a burst of urgent cries for help broke the tranquility of the early morning: "Help, help!"

The voice came from the lake not far away, with a bit of panic and despair.

Su Rao followed the sound and saw a servant pacing anxiously on the shore, while someone seemed to be struggling for survival in the center of the lake.

When the servant saw Su Rao, he felt as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. He immediately stepped forward and held her hand tightly, his eyes full of pleading: "Please, please save my young lady!"

Before he finished speaking, he actually attempted to snatch the pastry from Su Rao's hand and urge her to jump into the water to save people, completely ignoring the absurdity and danger of such an action.

"But I can't swim." Su Rao frowned slightly.

The maid looked around quickly, her eyes sweeping across the messy shore, and suddenly, her gaze stopped on a long stick lying in the grass.

"Use it, let the young lady hold on to the stick tightly, and we can pull her back from the lake together." The maid's eyes flashed.

Su Rao's brows gradually relaxed when she heard this. Although she was a little nervous, she felt that this was the most practical solution at the moment.

She bent down and picked up the seemingly rough but sturdy wooden stick, clenched her fingers around its end, and slowly and steadily extended the stick towards the shimmering lake.

Because the wooden stick was a little short, it was still a heart-wrenching distance from the struggling figure that appeared and disappeared in the waves.

Under the water, the man was sinking and struggling to float up. The situation was extremely critical, as if he would be swallowed by the merciless lake water in the next moment.

The air around seemed to freeze, and everyone's breathing became heavy and tense.

Just when everyone was almost in despair, the man seemed to have accumulated his last strength, and in a violent struggle, he unexpectedly and accurately grabbed the outstretched wooden stick.

Su Rao was startled and couldn't help but blurt out: "Why do I feel like your young lady can swim?"

After saying this, she cast a sharp gaze towards the maid, trying to catch the subtle changes in her expression.

The maid lowered her head guiltily, her cheeks slightly red, not daring to look Su Rao in the face.

The corner of her eye inadvertently swept across the cake box beside her, and she found that a small object had been cleverly hidden inside it, and the heavy stone in her heart finally eased a little.

At this time, behind the rockery, Zhao Xueyuan stood quietly, her eyes coldly watching everything happening before her.

After witnessing Su Rao's successful rescue, Zhao Xueyuan leisurely left in the direction of Jingxin Pavilion with the food box in hand with an innocent look on her face. An imperceptible sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she secretly mocked in her heart: How stupid he is, he has no idea that he has fallen into the trap!

Her gaze then turned coldly to Chenyu who had just been rescued, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

This girl finally played a useful role in this game of chess.

And then, all we have to do is wait for the planned "good news".

On the other side, outside the bustling and noisy, deep inside a luxurious mansion, a servant hurried to the door of an exquisitely decorated room, leaned over and whispered: "Madam, Zhao Xueyuan has used Su Rao to cast a love poison on that important target."

Inside the house, two noble ladies in gorgeous clothes sat on the upper seats. Their faces were so dignified and elegant, their temperaments were extraordinary, and their every move revealed their aristocratic demeanor.

"Got it. Go ahead." One of the women instructed casually, with indifference in her tone.

The servant bowed respectfully and left, and the room returned to peace.

The two ladies exchanged glances, and an intriguing smile appeared on their lips at the same time.

"What two ignorant fools. One naively believed that it was a love spell, totally unaware that he was playing with a sorcery that could take someone's life. The other one blindly obeyed orders and became someone else's tool, bearing the eternal infamy of regicide." A woman spoke with a hint of contempt and sarcasm.

"I thought Su Rao was smart, but I didn't expect..." Another woman took over the conversation, her disappointment unconcealed between her brows.

"If she wants to gain a foothold in that circle with just her pretty appearance, how much wisdom can we expect from her?" Her words were also full of disdain.

"Indeed, I underestimated her. I hope that the hidden danger can be eliminated this time. If so, the emperor will surely be very pleased, and your master's future will be even better." Another woman raised a more proud smile at the corner of her mouth.

……

Night fell silently on this land.

The moonlight shone through the window lattice, sprinkling on Zhao Xueyuan's body in patches, but it could not dispel the sudden pain in her heart. It was as if thousands of insects were gnawing at her heart, causing her a dull pain.

Could it be that the love poison has quietly taken effect?

Surprise and uneasiness intertwined in her heart. Zhao Xueyuan stood up suddenly and decided not to hesitate any longer.

"Auntie Gui, prepare the car and go to Jingxin Pavilion immediately," she ordered.

She had to get ahead of everything and take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Thinking of the upcoming reunion, Zhao Xueyuan quickened her preparations.

She dressed up carefully, wearing luxurious clothes, with her hair tied up in a high bun, her makeup delicate and flawless, and a faint fragrance emanating from her body.

Stepping out of the door, under the moonlight, Zhao Xueyuan walked towards Jingxin Pavilion with steady and firm steps.

The door of Jingxin Pavilion was ajar, and a familiar figure was standing silently in front of the door - Mo Yi.

Seeing Zhao Xueyuan, Mo Yi's expression was calm as usual. He simply said, "Are you here? Come in."

The tone was calm, without any surprise.
