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

Inside the Chu Mansion, a storm is about to come.

Madam Cen suddenly jumped up from her chair, her face terrified: "What did you say? The master was taken to the Dali Temple? How could this happen?"

Her voice trembled slightly, full of disbelief.

The servant answered cautiously, his voice full of trepidation: "I heard that the master planned to harm the prince, and as a result, his leg was severely injured. He has now been taken to the Dali Temple."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cen's face suddenly turned pale, and her heart was filled with turmoil.

Prince Yi, the man who should have been doomed, is he really safe and sound?

How can this be?

She had worked so hard to prepare this chess game, with every step carefully calculated. How could it fail at the last moment?

Zhao Xueyuan, that foolish woman, was completely immersed in fantasy, thinking that she could win the favor of King Yi by relying on that evil witchcraft.

What was the problem? Where did the fatal flaw appear?

Just as she was in a state of confusion, the servant came in a hurry to report: "Madam, the team from Prince Yi's Mansion is heading here."

Mrs. Cen's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Before, because of the secret protection of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Chu Mansion was almost indestructible.

But at this moment, without this umbrella of protection, Su Rao leading the crowd was like a sharp sword pointing directly at the heart.

Soon, Su Rao appeared in front of Mrs. Cen, and their eyes met in the air.

"Oh, isn't this Mrs. Lin from the palace? What brings you to my humble home so early in the morning?" Mrs. Cen tried to hide her inner fear and uneasiness with a polite disguise.

Su Rao was in no mood to deal with her, her tone was cold and direct: "No need to say more, where is my sister now?"

Madam Cen tried to remain calm, with a flash of anger in her eyes: "You... you lowly concubine, how dare you speak to me in such a tone!"

Su Rao raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth: "It seems that Madam Cen has not yet understood her situation. People in the outside world say that you and Lord Chu are deeply in love. Why don't I be a good person and send you to the prison cell of the Dali Temple so that you and your wife can be "reunited"? "

When Mrs. Cen heard this, her face turned even paler.

"I'll ask again, where is my sister?" Su Rao's voice was calm but powerful.

Mrs. Cen looked displeased, but she compromised in the end. She pointed to one side with a slightly trembling finger, and a hint of barely perceptible regret and unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

Su Rao waved her sleeves lightly and led the guards behind her, heading towards that direction with great momentum.

It was not until the backs of Su Rao and her group completely disappeared from her sight that Madam Cen fell weakly into the chair and whispered, "This world is unpredictable. After all, a sparrow can never reach the height of a phoenix. It's wishful thinking to soar into the sky..."

In a flash, Su Rao and her entourage were standing quietly in front of the gate of an ancient courtyard.

The door was tightly closed, as if it was an invisible boundary, deliberately isolating the noise from the outside world from the tranquility inside the courtyard.

Su Rao glanced slightly to the side and gave a subtle look to the guard beside her.

The guard understood what he meant, and he slightly bent his body, gathered all his strength in his shoulders, and suddenly rushed forward. Along with the creaking sound of the wooden door in protest, a stuffy smell that had not been ventilated for a long time blew in his face.

In the courtyard, a burst of light footsteps was heard. Upon hearing the sound, Su Yi walked out slowly from the house. When she saw the familiar figure breaking in through the door, a light of relief instantly flashed in her eyes, and a smile naturally appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Rao'er!" This call was full of surprise and relief.

Su Rao could not wait to take two steps at a time and quickly stepped in front of Su Yi. She held her sister's slightly cold hand tightly with both hands, and her eyes were full of deep worry and concern: "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Su Yi shook her head slightly, her smile was mixed with a hint of bitterness that was barely noticeable, her voice was light but firm: "I'm fine, don't worry."

However, at this tender moment, her stomach made an awkward growling sound at an inopportune time, and two red clouds immediately appeared on her cheeks.

Seeing this, Su Rao frowned, her expression becoming even more solemn: "How could they treat you like this and let you suffer such injustice? It's really unreasonable!"

Then, she turned to the old servant Feng Mama beside her and ordered, "Take a few capable men with you and take good care of Madam Cen first, and avenge our eldest sister."

When Mother Feng heard the order, a gleam of excitement flashed in her eyes. She was always happy to perform such "justice" tasks. She immediately accepted the order respectfully and left in a hurry.

Su Yi felt a little uneasy in his heart, and gently dissuaded: "Rao'er, there is really no need to take risks because of me. After all, she is the wife of the Second Assistant, and her status is extraordinary..."

"It doesn't matter. Soon, this title will no longer mean anything to her." Su Rao said calmly. Then, she briefly described the sudden change that day. "Without the support of the King of Qi, the Cen family will not only lose their official positions, but I'm afraid even their own safety will be difficult to guarantee."

When Su Yi heard this, a huge stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. The worries and crises of many days seemed to have found an outlet at this moment.

"As for the final fate of the culprit behind the scenes, let us wait and see how the person in the palace will judge." Su Rao's words were mysterious and meaningful.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the turmoil behind this is inseparable from the tacit approval of the King of Qi. Once the wind changes, the King of Qi will shift all the blame to Lord Chu in order to protect himself.

As to whether the King of Qi himself would be affected, it all depends on the attitude of the Queen.

The King of Qi holds sway over the government and has considerable strength. Although Su Rao and Su Yi want to fight back, they are well aware that their own power is limited.

When she was about to leave the palace, Su Rao decided to do one more thing. She stepped into Mrs. Cen's residence again alone.

Facing the aggressive Su Rao, the fire in Madam Cen's eyes was still burning. She tried her best to maintain the last bit of her dignity and said in a cold and hard voice: "You have succeeded. I still want to know, what do you want?"

"I just want the truth. Who gave you those forbidden and evil items?" Su Rao went straight to the point.

"Witchcraft? I don't know what you are talking about. You are wrongly accusing a good person!" Mrs. Cen pretended to be surprised.

Su Rao raised the corner of her mouth slightly. She had expected this kind of sophistry and was about to put further pressure on her when suddenly, a team of Jinyiwei descended like heavenly soldiers, interrupting the tense atmosphere of confrontation in the room.

"Madam Cen, someone has accused you of taking human life lightly. Please come back with us to the yamen to assist in the investigation." The leading Jinyiwei spoke in a cold voice, leaving no room for compromise.

Mrs. Cen's face turned pale as paper in an instant, her legs trembled and she almost collapsed. In the end, she could only stagger away under the tough escort of the Jinyiwei, her back filled with despair and unwillingness.
