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

Chapter 204: Gushu

Although the prince was unconscious, fortunately, Minister Wang was guarding him and His Majesty was still under their control. This was a blessing in disguise.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yi led his army into the palace. His purpose is unclear. Please make a decision, Your Majesty!"

Minister Wang knelt on the ground and made an impassioned speech.

The emperor, who was high above everyone else, had a heart full of turmoil and was burning with anger.

It's obviously you Wang family members who have ulterior motives and are plotting to usurp the throne! Huai Jue, he came here to save me!

The cry in my heart was ultimately unable to turn into words. My throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand, and I could only utter that chilling word.

"kill!"

The sound was as subtle as the falling dewdrops at dawn. Even so, the important officials in the court still held their breath, staring at the noble but now extremely fragile lips, for fear of missing any faint vibration.

"Did you see that? Your Majesty actually called Prince Yi a traitor. He deserves death!"

These words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

There was a mixture of shock and disbelief in the ministers' eyes, and there was a constant stream of discussion, as if they were confirming every word they had heard.

"Your Majesty has made the judgment himself. How can you argue? Quickly arrest the traitor and set the record straight!"

"Prince Yi, are you unwilling to surrender and insist on resisting stubbornly until the end?"

The people of the Wang family were extremely excited, their faces filled with impatience, as if with just one order, they would be able to cut off the thorn in their hearts with their own hands and end this sudden crisis.

Sitting on the high throne, the emperor lowered his head, his face carved by time was now flushed red, and his old eyes flashed with complex light.

His heart was filled with contradictions and struggles. The development of events had completely deviated from the expected trajectory. He knew clearly who the real betrayer was!

He wanted to roar, wanted to reveal the truth, but his throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand, and every word seemed to be stuck on the tip of his tongue, unable to be uttered.

This scene caused the people around Prince Yi to be subtly shaken, and doubt and uneasiness spread among them.

Could it be that His Majesty is no longer one of us? Could it be that the throne is really going to be handed over to someone else?

Once such an idea takes root, it will spread like wildfire and cannot be ignored.

If Prince Yi forced his way through, not only would he not be able to clear himself of the charges, but he would instead be confirmed as a traitor. That would be an act against the will of heaven, and the consequences would be disastrous!

However, facing this sudden change, Prince Yi's expression remained calm. There was no fear in his eyes, only an indescribable depth.

He knelt down slowly, his voice was gentle but it penetrated the noise and reached everyone's heart: "Father, are you really going to sentence me to death?"

The emperor's lips began to tremble slightly, and his whole body trembled slightly, as if he was experiencing some kind of intense inner struggle. He finally squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Kill..."

At this moment, Prince Yi's eyes met Su Rao's, and both of them had trust and tacit understanding in their eyes.

Su Rao's gaze passed over the crowd and locked onto the figure of Minister Wang. Her bright eyes seemed to have seen through the conspiracy behind it.

All these weird things might be related to the puppetry that controls people's minds. Someone must be behind this!

The prince is already unconscious, and it is obvious that someone else is manipulating him.

Su Rao remained highly alert and soon noticed something unusual about Minister Wang.

All signs indicate that Minister Wang is the mastermind behind all this!

"Keep him under control."

Prince Yi gave the order in a deep voice, his words filled with unquestionable determination.

His cronies responded quickly, pouncing on Shangshu Wang like a cheetah. Their movements were so agile that the Wang family members didn't even have time to react.

Concubine Wang's face turned livid in an instant, and she shouted, "Prince Yi, you are so bold, killing loyal people indiscriminately! Come, capture him for me!"

Following her orders, the guards drew their swords, intending to capture Prince Yi.

Prince Yi's followers naturally refused to be outdone, and they all took out their weapons. The two sides immediately became hostile and a melee was about to break out!

"I am not committing treason by doing this. The truth is, Minister Wang is the one who is truly plotting treason!"

"Don't even think about spitting blood!"

"Minister Wang poisoned my father, the evidence is irrefutable!"

"My brother is loyal as the sun and the moon testify. How could he do such a thing that defies heaven? People are not stupid. How could they allow you to lie?"

"I have evidence in my hands!"

As soon as Prince Yi finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the emperor and asked in his voice, "Father, please tell me, did Minister Wang poison you?"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the emperor, nervously awaiting his answer; the air seemed to freeze.

Concubine Wang frowned, an ominous premonition rising in her heart, and although the restrained Minister Wang tried his best to struggle, he was like being bound by iron chains and could not move.

Finally, under the anxious gazes of the crowd, the emperor, who was originally hunched over, slowly nodded.

At this moment, the whole place was in an uproar.

Your Majesty, do you mean that he was really poisoned?

"Your Majesty is seriously ill. I didn't listen to Prince Yi's words before. It was just a misunderstanding!"

Concubine Wang was eager to save the situation, "Father is fine."

"I know my father's condition very well. As long as the poison is removed, everything will be revealed."

Prince Yi retorted coldly.

“Who knows if you have ulterior motives!”

Concubine Wang responded sharply and once again demanded that Prince Yi be captured.

The situation is urgent and a war is about to break out.

Swords flashed, blood splattered, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

Yan Wugui guarded Su Rao and the unconscious prince like a rock, and every attack was resolved by him at an astonishing speed.

Su Rao stood there quietly, her eyes moving between the sword shadows, staring at the figure that showed incomparable determination in the interweaving of light and shadow.

The air was filled with blood and danger was lurking on every side, but there was no fear in her eyes, only unwavering trust.

After a fierce battle, the dust settled and Prince Yi's side won.

Concubine Wang, Minister Wang and the unconscious prince were escorted out of the hall one by one.

At this time, only Prince Yi and the Emperor were left in the hall.

Prince Yi slowly walked towards the emperor, knelt on the ground, and looked up at the old and tired figure.

"Father..."

The emperor's body curled up in severe pain. A crystal tear slid down from the corner of his eye, wetting the wrinkles on his face. It was a silent accusation against the past years.

"The imperial physician will be here soon. Father's health will surely recover."

Prince Yi's words were full of determination, and his eyes were bright and resolute, and he would not allow anyone to question him.

Soon, a man in a medical robe walked into the hall. On the surface, he was an invited imperial physician, but in fact, he was a top-notch poison master secretly invited by Prince Yi, who used the identity of a Chinese medicine doctor to hide his true skills.

The mystery of witchcraft is known to few people in the world.
