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

Chapter 184 Long Night and Many Dreams

"Sisi, be good and stop crying. I swear I will get justice for you."

Mrs. Huo comforted her gently, and Huo Chengjun gradually calmed down.

Then he called a medical officer, who, under the spell of Huo Chengjun's anger, applied medicine to her with trepidation, and then hurriedly left.

Mrs. Huo hugged Huo Chengjun tightly in her arms: "Why did the Queen Mother treat you like this?"

"It was that vixen Su Rao who drugged the Queen Mother and made her favor her!"

Huo Chengjun gritted her teeth, filled with hatred.

Mrs. Huo had also heard something recently. The Queen Mother's attitude towards Su Rao suddenly changed, which made her confused, but she did not investigate further.

And now, everything seems to have an answer, and those rumors circulating in the market are probably not groundless.

Why would the Queen Mother change from supporting the Wang family to defending Su Rao? Could it be that the high and mighty person in the palace made some move that affected the Queen Mother's position?

As the situation became more suspicious, Mrs. Huo became increasingly uneasy and wrote an urgent letter to her brother, Minister Wang.

Minister Wang was summoned to the Liang Mansion, and Marquis Lu and Huo Yuncong were busy running around. Although he was a distinguished marquis, in the eyes of the Wang family, all the glory of the Liang family came from the Wang family. Therefore, Huo Yuncong was not taken seriously, and his position was awkward and delicate.

Huo Yuncong put on a smile and tried his best to meet every request of Minister Wang, but the other party's behavior became more and more arrogant and rude.

At the banquet, Mrs. Huo mentioned the unpleasant incident that happened during the day, and her worry was evident in her words: "The Queen Mother's sudden change in attitude towards Prince Yi's concubine, is there a new move on Prince Yi's side, or is there another change in the palace?"

The life and death of Prince Yi has always been an indelible shadow in Mrs. Huo's heart.

Even if His Majesty (the Emperor) looks at Concubine Ning differently at the moment, considering that Concubine Ning comes from a poor family, her family is powerless, and her offspring are not significant, such a person is nothing more than a chess piece that can be discarded at any time in this complicated court struggle, and a tool to attack the King of Qi and the Wang family.

But Prince Yi is a completely different person.

Relying on his outstanding wisdom and the full support of his mother's family, Prince Yi has long been the most difficult opponent of Prince Qi. The struggle between the two is like the stars shining against each other in the night sky. Although each of them is dazzling, every moment is filled with a tense atmosphere of confrontation.

"Is the Queen Mother's action based on personal preference, or does she have special feelings towards the entire Prince Yi's Mansion?"

Minister Wang suddenly hit the nail on the head, going straight to the heart of the matter, and the severity in his words revealed a keen insight.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became like the calm surface of water hit by a stone, with ripples spreading out.

If this favor benefits everyone, it will undoubtedly be a sign of Prince Yi's return to the stage of power; but if the focus is only on Su Rao, then the core of the problem points directly to the concubine herself who seems gentle but is actually very powerful.

Mrs. Huo's brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were filled with deep thought, as if she had caught the prelude of the breeze that was about to create waves.

"Although Princess Yi is the principal wife, the Queen Mother has not shown her any special favor. This undoubtedly points to one thing - the real key figure should be the concubine Su Rao."

"In other words, Prince Yi's concubine's every move is the key to unlocking this situation. Has she behaved in an unusual way recently?"

Mrs. Huo relied on her carefully woven intelligence network and her mind was as delicate as spider silk. She repeatedly pondered every detail, but the final conclusion was unexpectedly simple and straightforward.

"There was no unusual behavior at all."

"If it wasn't an obvious mistake in her behavior, why did the Queen Mother's attitude change so suddenly? Does this mean that the problem is hidden deeper and more subtle? Perhaps the answer lies in the background of Su Rao's identity as a concubine?"

As soon as Minister Wang finished speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if a beam of memory pierced through the dust of time, and he recalled the past - the mother of Prince Yi's concubine was once rumored to be entangled in the mystery of "bandits", but that was just a smokescreen on the surface. The real protagonist behind it was actually the orphan left by the Zhao family.

The entanglement between the Queen Mother and the Orphan of Zhao is complex and profound. This association can't help but make people feel cold - has Su Rao also been involved in the old feud regarding the Zhao family?

The two people's eyes intertwined, and each other's astonishment and shock were reflected in each other's eyes.

Once such a secret is confirmed, it will be enough to shock the government and the public!

Prince Yi's concubine is not only an important chess piece on the chessboard, but also the key to restraining Prince Yi.

Even though Prince Yi's life or death is still unclear, we must never let down our guard!

"I have not been able to penetrate the mystery in the past. Now I must follow this clue and delve deeper into the true background of Prince Yi's concubine."

Mrs. Huo's tone revealed unquestionable determination.

As they were talking, there was a gentle knock on the door, breaking the solemn atmosphere in the room.

Minister Wang walked quickly forward and opened the door, only to see an envoy in black with a cold face standing quietly outside the door.

"What does the King of Qi want?"

There was respect in Shangshu Wang's words, because he knew that the man in front of him was the confidant of the King of Qi and often served as his secret messenger.

The man in black remained silent, handed over a sealed letter, and then disappeared into the darkness like the night wind.

Minister Wang opened the envelope and read it carefully. His face suddenly changed. He was shocked and could hardly hide the fluctuations in his heart.

"Brother, what is it in the letter that could move you so much?"

Mrs. Huo looked at her brother's expression and couldn't help but ask.

Minister Wang is usually able to control his emotions, and today's incident must be a serious situation.

The letter was handed to Mrs. Huo. After reading it, her face turned pale and her heart beat rapidly, as if she had a premonition of something ominous.

After a brief moment of shock, Mrs. Huo seemed to regain her composure. "Delay will only complicate the situation. This plan may be worth a try."

Minister Wang's eyes were as sharp as a blade, and he saw through his sister's determination behind her resoluteness, a determination that even surpassed his own.

"Do you know what you are saying? If this succeeds, it will be great. If it fails, we, and even the entire palace, will be doomed!"

Minister Wang's voice was low and full of worry.

The content of the letter turned out to be that the King of Qi intended to launch a palace coup! The position of crown prince seemed to be within reach, but the King of Qi's move undoubtedly put himself in an extremely dangerous situation.

"In the current situation, we just need to wait and see how it develops. Why would the King of Qi take such a risk? Even if there is external pressure, he would not be so desperate."

Minister Wang was confused and wanted to go to Prince Qi's mansion to dissuade him, but he never expected that his sister actually agreed with him!

"Brother, this action must have been a decision made by His Highness and the Imperial Concubine after careful consideration."
