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

Chapter 185 Beloved

Mrs. Huo tried to keep her tone calm as she tried to explain.

"The imperial concubine has fallen out of favor, the King of Qi has been frustrated, and emotional decisions are often not well thought out."

Minister Wang raised an objection.

"But my sister has always been cautious in her actions. This move must have a deeper meaning, perhaps to take the initiative."

Mrs. Huo argued, "Besides, since they have already made their decision, our persuasion may not be able to change their minds."

Minister Wang stood up and sat down again, weighing his thoughts repeatedly in his heart, and finally spoke slowly. A depressing atmosphere of impending storm filled the air.

"Tomorrow morning, I will deliver the medicine to the deepest part of the palace according to King Qi's needs."

His words seemed to foreshadow the coming of a storm.

"When the King of Qi ascends the throne, you and I will become noble men that no one can match!"

There was a gleam of excitement in Mrs. Huo's eyes, as if she had seen the glorious scene of the pinnacle of power.

Outside the door, Huo Yuncong stood quietly. Those words of conspiracy, like sharp blades, cut through the silence of the night sky and fell clearly into his ears.

The King of Qi's plot was to use drugs to control the emperor and usurp the throne in an extreme way! If Mrs. Huo succeeded with the King of Qi, she would also become a powerful figure in the court.

Huo Yuncong's face was filled with gloom. The road to revenge was so long and full of difficulties and obstacles.

No! The King of Qi's plot must not succeed! But how to stop his ambition from succeeding, and who can compete with the Wang family? Fear was like ice, and the biting cold penetrated Huo Yuncong's body, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

Just as he was about to leave quietly, a voice as cold as the winter wind sounded from behind: "Huo Yuncong, stop, what did you hear?"

Turning around, Minister Wang and Madam Huo were standing in front of the door. Their eyes were as cold as ice, revealing a majesty that brooked no resistance.

Although Huo Yuncong was married to Mrs. Huo, in the eyes of the Wang clan, he was always an outsider, especially when it came to secrets concerning the family's rise and fall, which would never be tolerated with even a single leak.

"What did you hear? I just wanted to come in and serve tea, but there were mosquitoes bothering us, so I was just about to get some new ones."

Huo Yuncong tried hard to keep his tone calm, trying to hide his inner nervousness.

Minister Wang and Mrs. Huo exchanged a meaningful look.

This matter concerns the survival of the family. If one step is wrong, all steps will go wrong. Therefore, any hidden dangers that may lead to the leakage of information must be completely eradicated.

There was a gleam of cruelty in Minister Wang's eyes, while Madam Huo shook her head slightly, as if she was considering other solutions.

Finally, Mrs. Huo spoke, her tone indifferent but resolute: "No need for tea, go and have a rest."

Huo Yuncong nodded timidly, turned around and left, with a hint of trembling in his back.

Mrs. Huo whispered: "Liang Lang and I are birds of the same forest, and we share the same fate. Even if he knew, he would never tell anyone."

Shangshu Wang fell into deep thought, and then suggested: "If you feel sorry for it, for safety reasons, you can send someone to secretly monitor it."

This series of events is like an intricate chess game, with mysteries hidden in every step. Outside the chess game, there are countless pairs of eyes watching in secret, waiting for an opportunity.

In this world where power and emotion are intertwined, every decision you make determines the direction of your destiny.

Mrs. Huo nodded slightly. That subtle movement seemed to contain a great weight. Her acquiescence made the air heavier.

Huo Yuncong turned around, each step he took on the floor filled with worry, and returned to the bedroom. However, his heart was like a turbulent sea, unable to calm down.

Over the years, the flame of revenge for his deceased wife in his heart has never been extinguished, and that raging fire is hottest in the dead of night.

Mrs. Huo and the powerful Wang family used their power to break the camel's back in his wife's life, causing him to lose the love of his life.

His revenge was not only aimed at Mrs. Huo's life, but also at seeing the Wang family completely overturned like a dead tree in autumn.

However, the Wang family is like a sleeping giant elephant, with deep roots that are difficult to shake.

He placed all his hopes on Prince Yi, hoping that he would ascend to the throne of crown prince and use the evidence he had secretly collected over the years to bring destruction to the Wang family.

However, things are unpredictable. Prince Yi disappeared mysteriously, Prince Qi became increasingly powerful, and the development of the situation was very different from what he had originally planned. This forced him to put on a mask, fake a smile, and patiently wait for the almost impossible turn of events, even if the hope was as faint as the faintest starlight in the night sky.

Tonight's news was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing his last fantasy.

If the King of Qi's plan succeeds, his dream of revenge will be shattered.

Therefore, we must not let the King of Qi succeed in his plan!

Using drugs to control the emperor and force him to abdicate to others is a direct provocation to imperial power and a brutal violation of order.

Huo Yun tossed and turned all night, his thoughts running wild. He was thinking, who is trustworthy and who can help him stop the impending palace coup?

In a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, his deceased wife's face covered in blood and tears appeared before his eyes again. Her sad eyes stared at him deeply, and her silent accusations kept him awake all night. Every second was like torture.

When the morning light penetrated the window, he struggled out of the nightmare, his chest burning with rage, while the pillow beside him was as cold as ever, reminding him of the loneliness and cruelty of reality.

Last night, the echo of the secret conversation between Minister Wang and Madam Huo seemed to still echo in his ears, until the first ray of dawn broke through the sky, which further intensified his inner panic and anxiety.

It is necessary to find someone who can be trusted to spread this fate-changing news, but who is this person?

As he was thinking, a figure gradually became clear in his mind—Prince Yi's concubine!

Prince Yi's concubine is not only a symbol of Prince Yi's palace, but also a potential ally.

Once the Prince of Qi succeeds in usurping the throne, Prince Yi's Mansion will also face a devastating disaster.

This naturally put them on the same side.

After several interactions, Huo Yuncong discovered that this concubine was no ordinary person. She possessed extraordinary wisdom and extraordinary courage.

In addition, Huo Chengjun told him that the Queen Mother doted on Wang Yi's concubine, which undoubtedly increased his chances of winning.

The Queen has been ill for a long time and the power of speech in the palace has essentially fallen into the hands of the Queen Mother. If Prince Yi's concubine can unite with the Queen Mother, perhaps they can turn the tide in the precarious situation and dispel the haze brought by Prince Qi.

The fire of hope burned again in Huo Yuncong's heart.

At dawn the next day, he planned to deliver this crucial information in person, but found himself as if under a magnifying glass, with his every move being tightly bound by invisible sight.

Anxiety was spreading wildly in his heart like weeds. He couldn't help but ask himself, was he really going to just sit there and wait for death, allowing the shadows of the King of Qi and the Wang family to cover the entire imperial city?

At the same time, in Shoukang Palace, Su Rao stayed overnight at the invitation of the Queen Mother and woke up in the early morning.
