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

Chapter 205 Never Leave Behind

The Gu Master took the emperor's pulse in a professional and mysterious manner, his every move revealing the demeanor of a master.

Suddenly, his eyes became extremely sharp, and his hand moved as fast as lightning, finally stopping on the emperor's shoulder.

He held a short blade and stabbed it into the emperor's shoulder blade. With a slight sound of skin breaking, a tiny black poisonous insect was squeezed out in an instant, and its weak vitality was instantly imprisoned in a special bottle.

Then, the Gu Master used his skilled techniques to quickly treat the wound. The entire treatment process took only a few moments, and his technique was so exquisite that it was like an art.

As the poisonous insect was removed, the emperor's complexion gradually regained its color and his frown gradually relaxed.

All these changes indicate that the real battle has just begun...

Bixia is worry-free, the poison has been cleared.

The Gu Master's voice was steady, and his indifference revealed an unquestionable power, as if his words were the elixir that could heal all wounds and sweep away all the haze.

The huge rock of unresolved thought deep in Prince Yi's heart collapsed with the declaration of these few simple words, and was replaced by relief and hope after being relieved of a heavy burden.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes like arrows, piercing through the palace and reaching where the emperor was. His eyes were filled with deep expectation and concern that could not be concealed.

The emperor's eyes gradually regained their former luster, as if a ray of bright sunlight shining through the chaotic deep seabed, illuminating the entire palace.

His voice was like dry sand at first, with a hint of pain and discomfort that was difficult to conceal, but then, like spring rain moistening a long-dry land, the voice gradually became warm, and finally turned into an excited and low whisper: "Huai Jue, you are finally back."

This simple sentence contains so many unspeakable emotions, including the joy of reunion and the relief of surviving a disaster.

At the same time, outside the palace, Zhao Tingduan suddenly woke up from his hazy coma, but what he saw was the scene he least wanted to see - his mother, uncle and aunt were all tied up with iron chains and escorted away.

This scene, like a basin of ice-cold water, extinguished the last glimmer of hope in his heart. An ominous premonition shrouded his heart like a dark cloud.

The eyes of Su Rao, Yan Wugui and others seemed to be frozen, without any extra emotional fluctuations. Their determination and ruthlessness showed that they had nothing to worry about and everything was going according to plan.

Zhao Tingduan's face turned extremely pale at this moment, his eyes unconsciously drifted towards the tightly closed palace door, and a huge wave of fear surged in his heart.

Could it be that Zhao Huaijue was really inside and had taken control of the situation? This thought was like a poisonous snake entwining his mind, making his already chaotic thoughts even more chaotic, like a candle swaying in the wind, which could go out at any time.

He was unwilling to give up. How could he admit defeat? How could Zhao Tingduan, the once favored son of heaven, accept the fate of failure? A stubborn flame rose in his heart. Even if the road ahead was bleak, he would fight to the death.

However, when he tried to save the situation by controlling the poisonous insect, reality hit him like a bucket of cold water.

He found that everything was no longer under his control, and the power that originally belonged to him seemed to have quietly slipped away.

Paleness quickly crept up his cheeks, and his body drooped limply. His former ambitions seemed to have faded overnight, leaving only bottomless despair.

Just when he was completely in despair, the palace door burst open, as if the wheel of fate had crushed all obstacles. The attention of the entire court was attracted by the figure slowly walking out from behind the door.

Prince Yi supported the emperor with steady steps, each step bringing new hope.

Although the emperor was still weak, his eyes were filled with unprecedented vitality. He was no longer a puppet at the mercy of others.

When Concubine Wang and Minister Wang saw this scene, the last glimmer of hope in their hearts was instantly shattered, and despair covered their faces like a dark cloud.

Minister Wang felt mixed emotions, with regret and self-blame intertwined. If he had stopped Zhao Tingduan's crazy plan earlier, would the outcome have been different?

"Zhao Tingduan rebelled and plotted against me. He must be put to death. You traitor, execute him with a cane immediately!"

The emperor's order was like the north wind in winter, harsh and unyielding. Every word was like a sharp blade, cutting off all possible routes of retreat.

The fate of Shangshu Wang came to an abrupt end. Concubine Wang was given a white silk to commit suicide. The Wang family collapsed overnight. The officials who once followed the Wang family were like dogs that had lost their homes, trembling and waiting for the coming storm of reckoning.

In this turbulent time, Su Yi held Su Rao's hand tightly, and the joy and relief of surviving the disaster flowed in their eyes.

"That's great! I was almost scared to death just now."

Su Yi's voice trembled slightly, and he was still frightened.

"Sister, you are amazing."

Su Rao smiled with sincere admiration. She saw the calmness and righteousness her sister showed in the face of the huge threat from Wang's family. That transformation made her surprised and proud.

My sister has changed, becoming stronger and wiser.

Su Yi whispered, with an imperceptible tremor in her voice, "To be honest, fear almost devoured me at that time. But then I thought, since the outcome is already determined, it is better to stand up straight and at least retain the last bit of dignity instead of humiliating myself to survive. But who can easily give up the desire to live?"

In that desperate situation with no way out, she chose to face it with the bravest attitude, and fate finally showed mercy to them.

At this moment, Su Yi felt a sharp gaze penetrated the noise of the crowd and fell on her accurately.

The moment she turned her head, her eyes met Prince Yi, who had taken off his armor and was wearing a black robe.

Prince Yi's eyes were deep and cold, like ice, which made Su Yi feel a little awkward and uneasy.

"Rao'er, you chat with Prince Yi, I'll go see the Queen Mother."

Su Yi found an excuse and left quietly, leaving Su Rao alone to face the surging crowd.

In that sea of ​​people, it seemed as if the whole world had stopped, with only Su Rao and Prince Yi standing face to face.

Prince Yi walked towards her step by step, each step looking so solemn, until he stopped in front of her.

Su Rao stared at him, sparks of joy and excitement dancing in her eyes, her heart beating faster, and she was excited with anticipation.

I am back.

His voice was brief and powerful, yet it seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight, and every word was full of profound meaning.

I know you will come back.

Su Rao responded softly, her tone full of unquestionable trust.

Although those fears and worries once followed her like a shadow, her faith in him never wavered, and she firmly believed that he would not abandon her alone.

Prince Yi stretched out his arms and held her tightly in his arms. The familiar warmth and sense of security instantly enveloped Su Rao, calming her heart.

At this moment, all words seem superfluous, because their hearts are already closely connected.
