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

But for the sake of the overall situation, she had to continue to play the role of a frail and sickly person in the small space of the backyard.

Fang Yuan nodded obediently, her eyes sparkling with maturity and understanding beyond her age.

"Yes, brother, I understand." She knew that in the eyes of King Qi, she was just a chess piece to restrain her brother. As long as the "illness" persisted, King Qi would not take action against her brother, and their safety could be guaranteed.

At the end of the long road of revenge, away from the hustle and bustle of the capital, they can truly find peace.

"Brother, even though Prince Yi is our enemy, Rao'er is our benefactor. Hatred must be repaid, and kindness cannot be forgotten." Fang Yuan's words were both firm and gentle.

Fang Mo heard this and nodded silently, with mixed emotions in his heart.

……

As night fell, Prince Yi's mansion was filled with silence.

Su Rao ended a tedious day. After taking a bath, she wore a light gauze and lay on the bed, about to fall asleep.

However, at this moment, after an inaudible air flow fluctuation, a white figure quietly appeared beside the bed, like a banished immortal who was not stained by the dust of the world.

He opened his lips and whispered, his voice clear and melodious: "I suddenly want to eat roast chicken."

Su Rao shuddered and wanted to turn over and ignore it, but the request sounded again: "I want to eat roast chicken."

Su Rao was helpless, with a bitter smile on her face, but she finally compromised to this seemingly unreasonable request.

She stood up and walked into the kitchen, and amid the curling smoke, she carefully prepared a golden and fragrant roast chicken to satisfy the appetite of the uninvited guest.

"Are you planning to follow me closely like this for the next month?" Su Rao asked tentatively.

Bai Ze said nothing, just looked back with a deep gaze, leaving Su Rao to savor the meaning herself.

"Then, during this period, you'd better pretend to be mute and just act like my cousin who came from afar." Su Rao already had a plan in mind.

As a concubine of Prince Yi's Mansion, it would inevitably cause controversy if she was always accompanied by a man of unknown origin.

If it were a woman, things would be much simpler.

Bai Ze didn't seem to care about Su Rao's arrangements. He was just immersed in the deliciousness of the roast chicken and ate it with relish.

But when Su Rao stretched out her hand to stop him from eating, he slowly raised his head and nodded imperceptibly, as a recognition of this temporary role.

When the last bit of chicken was removed, Bai Ze's demeanor returned to the detached look he had when they first met, as if he had turned back into the immortal who was untainted by the dust and otherworldly.

"Bai Ze, do you know any secret technique that can make people lose their minds or be controlled by others?" Su Rao's voice was filled with caution and curiosity.

Bai Ze was silent for a moment, and his eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts were fixed on Su Rao. The deep meaning in his eyes was difficult to guess.

"You can talk when we are alone," Su Rao added.

Bai Ze opened his red lips and uttered one word: "Yes."

Su Rao's heartstrings tightened when she heard this: "There is a person who I suspect was poisoned by some kind of Gu five years ago. Can you tell it now?"

"Okay." Bai Ze's answer was brief and firm, without any hesitation.

Su Rao almost grabbed Bai Ze's sleeve and hurried through the quiet courtyard, heading straight for Jingxin Pavilion where Prince Yi was.

The sunlight dappled the bluestone road.

In the Jingxin Pavilion, Mo Yi was leaning leisurely against the corridor column, the breeze gently blowing his sleeves.

However, when his eyes fell on Bai Ze, the strange visitor, a slight ripple appeared between his brows, with a hint of confusion and curiosity.

"Who is this?" Mo Yi's voice was gentle but with a hint of inquiry.

Su Rao knew Mo Yi's character very well. Although she trusted him completely, the matter was of great importance and she had to act with caution.

"This is my distant cousin, who is also a doctor who is proficient in medicine. Her family has served as imperial physicians in the palace for generations. I noticed that the prince's physical condition seemed a little abnormal, so I wanted to ask her to help diagnose it." Su Rao's explanation was concise and powerful.

When Mo Yi heard this, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes. He didn't ask any more questions, but just nodded slightly.

The two walked through the well-arranged flowers and trees and entered the Buddhist temple. The air was filled with the faint smell of incense.

Prince Yi sat quietly with his back straight, and only his tightly closed eyes revealed a hint of subtle fragility.

Su Rao gave Bai Ze a subtle look, full of trust and expectation.

Bai Ze understood and slowly walked closer, his sharp eyes beginning to examine Prince Yi carefully.

At this moment, Prince Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and a beautiful face close to him was reflected in his pupils. The pale and flawless skin almost blended with the white walls of the Buddhist hall, which made him frown slightly.

Instinctively, Prince Yi wanted to wave his hand to stop the sudden approach, but was surprised to find that Bai Ze had already flexibly retreated. His innocent eyes through his long eyelashes seemed to say silently: "If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been slapped."

Su Rao quickly explained: "Your Majesty, this is Bai Ze. I would like to ask him to help you check if you were accidentally poisoned by some special Gu five years ago."

Her voice was soft but firm.

Prince Yi's gaze shuttled back and forth between the two people, finally stopping on Bai Ze. It was a kind of scrutiny.

Bai Ze showed no sign of being outdone, his eyes revealing a kind of arrogant indifference, as if he was absolutely confident in his medical skills.

Faced with Su Rao's soft pleading, the ice in Prince Yi's heart seemed to be quietly melted by those clear eyes.

Finally, he acquiesced to Bai Ze's approach.

Bai Ze stepped forward again, his fingers gently moving over Prince Yi's skin, every touch seeming so cautious.

Just as he was about to check further, Prince Yi's cold eyes stopped him.

Bai Ze looked at Su Rao aggrievedly, as if he was asking for help.

"Your Highness, please treat Bai Ze as an ordinary doctor." Su Rao consoled him gently, her voice full of persistence.

Under Su Rao's persuasion, Prince Yi finally put away his fierce aura and allowed Bai Ze to inspect.

Bai Ze's fingers gently pressed on Prince Yi's neck.

After completing the inspection, Bai Ze nodded slightly to Su Rao, indicating that he had made some discoveries.

Just when he was about to convey the message orally, he suddenly remembered Su Rao's previous instructions, so he took her hand instead and prepared to write on her palm to keep it secret.

However, this scene did not happen as expected. Prince Yi seemed to see through everything. He suddenly reached out and gently patted Bai Ze's hand down: "Just say what you want to say."

Bai Ze turned his head and looked at Su Rao, and there was a tacit understanding and confirmation between the two.

Su Rao realized that there was no point in hiding it.

"It's the Soul Loss Gu." Bai Ze's words were concise and clear, but every word was weighty. "This Gu only stays in the human body for half an hour, then dissipates on its own. It prefers to suck blood from the neck, leaving obvious marks."
