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

This woman is obviously not an easy target, and her every move will determine the final outcome of this game.

Advancing or retreating is dangerous.

At this moment, he remembered his wife's reminder about the poison which was said to be extremely toxic and could cause a person to die or not.

Is Prince Yi's life really hanging by a thread?

In this gamble, has he lost the most crucial chip?

Lord Chu couldn't help but feel an unprecedented hesitation and uneasiness in his heart.

Therefore, the tough attitude displayed by this woman is probably just an empty and powerless bluff!

How could he, Lord Chu, be easily fooled by such a petty trick?

A scornful smile appeared on his lips, and he immediately ordered majestically: "Follow me and charge forward. I swear to find out the truth!"

The Jinyiwei exchanged complicated looks, and Fang Mo, as the leader, nodded slightly.

In an instant, the air was filled with a strong fighting spirit, and the sharp knife light and swift sword shadow were intertwined.

The confrontation between the Jinyiwei and the palace guards broke out in the quiet palace, with both sides fighting fiercely and the situation tense.

Although the guards of the palace were all brave and fearless, they gradually became overwhelmed by the absolute disadvantage in numbers. Finally, they were defeated amid the noisy sound of metal clashing and had no choice but to retreat.

Su Rao's cold gaze penetrated the flying dust and took in everything.

Lord Chu, who had the victory in his hands, deliberately put on an arrogant attitude, walked to the guards of the palace who were lying on the ground, and said sarcastically: "It's a pity that you were used by the villain without knowing it. I did this for the safety of the prince."

Then, he suddenly turned his gaze to Su Rao, with a hint of provocation and threat in his eyes.

Then, he strode towards the Meditation Pavilion, as if he was walking not on an ordinary cobblestone road, but on a glorious path leading to a higher position of power.

Soon, Lord Chu stood in front of the gate of the Buddhist temple.

"How dare you! The prince is meditating here. If you disturb him because of your recklessness, your head will be in danger!" Mo Yi shouted angrily, his fingers trembling with excitement, pointing directly at the tip of Lord Chu's nose.

In response to this warning, Lord Chu simply snorted disdainfully, and then pushed open the heavy door of the Buddhist hall with force.

However, when his left foot just stepped over the threshold, his vision, which was originally blurred by the pillar, suddenly became clear, and a shocking scene came into view - behind the pillar supporting the temple, stood the legendary aloof and cold His Royal Highness Prince Yi!

Lord Chu's eyes widened instantly, his face full of disbelief.

He rubbed his eyes subconsciously and confirmed again and again. Yes, it was Prince Yi himself, standing there unharmed.

The chill that surged in my heart was three times more penetrating than the biting cold wind in winter.

He had clearly firmly believed that Prince Yi had met with an accident, so he accepted the secret order from Prince Qi and led the elite Jinyiwei to raid Prince Yi's mansion.

But the reversal of reality was like a heavy punch, shattering his plan.

Lord Chu's cheeks twitched unconsciously due to nervousness and fear, and his originally fluent speech became fragmented at this moment: "Your Highness Prince Yu... Prince Yi, I learned that someone was trying to harm you, so I brought people to investigate. Fortunately, you are safe and sound. This is really great news..."

Seeing this, Su Rao ordered sternly without waiting for Lord Chu to finish speaking: "This man has bad intentions and is plotting to harm our prince. Take him down immediately!"

Fang Mo, the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard who had always been loyal to the King of Qi and followed the orders of Lord Chu, no longer held back after realizing that his Lord's mission had failed.

So, the Jinyiwei retreated to the side and watched the palace guards subdue Lord Chu who had lost his ability to resist.

At this moment, Lord Chu was completely panicked, and his former arrogance disappeared without a trace.

"How dare you! Let me go immediately. I am the Second Prime Minister of the Cabinet!" he shouted with all his might.

Second Minister of the Cabinet?

In the minds of everyone present, he was nothing more than a villain who was trying to curry favor with powerful people and take advantage of their power to rise to the top. He was able to climb to a high position only by clinging to the King of Qi's thigh and fawning on him!

Now that the plan has failed, how can the "big tree" that we once relied on lend a helping hand at this critical moment?

"Don't pay attention to his shouting. Break his legs first to prevent any further trouble." Su Rao gave the order coldly, "Then drag him out and deal with him. Remember, don't disturb the prince's practice."

After saying this, Su Rao cast a glance at Prince Yi intentionally or unintentionally, as if observing how this high and mighty prince would react.

Prince Yi's face remained indifferent, without any emotional fluctuations. His deep eyes seemed to see through all the coldness of the world, making people feel awe, but also mixed with a hint of inexplicable anger.

I was so anxious that my heart was beating like a drum and sweat was dripping down my temples, but he, on the other hand, remained the same, acting as if it had nothing to do with him and was indifferent.

Amid the chaotic cries for help, Lord Chu's figure was gradually dragged away, and traces of his struggle left behind silent pleas in the dust.

Su Rao followed closely behind without hesitation. She heard the gradually fainter pleas for mercy mixed with despair and regret. For some reason, these cries that should have been heartbreaking actually aroused a trace of indescribable comfort in her heart.

When Lord Chu was punished, the noise around him gradually calmed down. Su Rao's eyes were calm, "Send him to the Dali Temple. Remember, the charge is attempting to murder the prince."

Her voice was cool and majestic, and every word was powerful.

The guards took orders and roughly dragged the almost paralyzed Lord Chu away in the morning dew.

For a moment, the tense atmosphere in the courtyard seemed to ease slightly with the departure of Lord Chu.

Su Rao raised her eyes, and her gaze inadvertently met Fang Mo's in the air.

The other person's face was dark and depressed, and after a moment, those sharp eyes quickly dodged away.

"You are indeed clever, but I advise you to be wiser and stay away from those treacherous people." Fang Mo said coldly, turned around, led the Jinyiwei team, and disappeared into the morning mist.

His back, like his words, carries some elusive meaning.

Su Rao stood there, chewing over Fang Mo's words.

The four words "betrayal" hit her heart like a heavy hammer. She couldn't help but cast her gaze towards the Buddhist temple not far away, where Prince Yi used to go to meditate.

Could it be that the person Fang Mo was referring to was the seemingly aloof Prince Yi?

In my memory, Fang Mo was once loyal to Prince Yi. Why are they strangers today, and even hostile to each other?

What kind of role did Prince Yi play behind this that made Fang Mo, who has always been upright, think that he had deviated from the principle of trust and loyalty?

Thinking of this, Su Rao quickly gathered her thoughts, turned around and ordered Mother Feng beside her to gather a team of capable guards, preparing to march to the Chu Mansion in a grand manner.
