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

Chapter 173 Coma

The driver went forward to check carefully, then turned back to report: "Miss, he is still alive, but his breath is weak."

This man was of sturdy build and had obviously undergone rigorous martial arts training. Scattered around him were several corpses dressed in black, all of whom were dressed as assassins. The weapons in their hands were actually the specially made Embroidered Spring Swords for the palace, which made people think of the mysterious and powerful Jinyiwei.

Su Rao thought to herself that this person might be the "hero" being hunted by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the one who had been hiding in her mother's room and causing her mother to suffer innocently and be imprisoned in the royal prison.

Later, it was he who rescued his mother and saved her from danger.

Now that my mother has returned safely, I believe it was this hero who sent her back after confirming her safety.

But just when he had arranged for his mother, he encountered this assassination...

Seeing this, the maid gently dissuaded: "Miss, this matter is complicated, it is better for us not to interfere."

As the Queen Mother's personal maid, she was well aware of the dangers of grudges in the martial arts world and was worried that Su Rao would be involved in the trouble.

Su Rao was full of doubts. It seemed that her mother and the Queen Mother had hidden many things from her, and this man seemed to be the key to solving all the mysteries.

More importantly, she believed that her mother would not want to see this person die.

So, Su Rao made a decisive decision: "Carry him onto the carriage."

Although the maid hesitated, she finally followed the instructions.

Guyu and Xiaoman, one a martial artist and the other a doctor, worked together in perfect harmony and placed the seriously injured man on the carriage.

Su Rao then got in the carriage, and the carriage started again and disappeared into the night.

Inside the carriage, the faint scent of herbs mixed with the tense atmosphere. Su Rao stared at the man. Under his messy hair was a resolute and weathered face.

Noticing the old scar on his arm, Su Rao became more certain that this man must be an extraordinary person and must have a solid foundation in martial arts.

"Go to the back door of the Su Mansion." Su Rao ordered in a deep voice.

The carriage changed its route and headed towards the back door of the Su Mansion, but stopped on the way for some reason.

Guyu and Xiaoman carefully lifted the man off the carriage and continued on their way according to Su Rao's instructions.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the back door of the Su Mansion. Su Rao got off, knocked on the small door leading to the backyard, and hurried to her mother's residence anxiously.

After a gentle knock on the door, Mother Zhao appeared behind the door, looking dazed. When she saw Su Rao, a look of surprise flashed across her face.

"Rao'er?" Mother Zhao's voice was a little hoarse. She looked thinner than when they parted. Although the wounds on her body had been properly treated, her fatigue and vicissitudes were still clearly visible.

For Su Rao, as long as her mother is safe, it is the greatest comfort.

Su Rao hugged her mother gently, being very careful not to touch her wound.

"Mom." she called softly.

Mother Zhao's eyes were also filled with surprise and excitement: "Rao'er, my child."

The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly, and all words seemed redundant at this moment.

Su Rao's voice was trembling slightly as she gently asked about her mother's experience in the imperial prison and every detail of her abduction by the mysterious force. Her eyes were full of concern and anxiety.

"Those Jinyiwei were like evil monsters from hell. Mother was so frightened that her soul almost left her body and her heart almost jumped out of her throat." There was still a subtle fear in Zhao's tone. Her hands were shaking slightly. She was still frightened by that experience.

"As for the benefactor who came to our rescue, he kept his face covered, so I couldn't recognize him. Perhaps, he was some indifferent chivalrous hero who couldn't stand the brutality of the Royal Guards and came to our rescue."

Zhao's words deliberately avoided the truth, and no one could see the secret hidden behind it.

After a heartwarming reminiscence, Su Rao keenly caught the gleam in her mother's eyes and the faint sadness that permeated her body.

As night fell, Zhao tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night. His anxiety and uneasiness were infinitely magnified in the silent night.

Deep inside Zhao's heart, pain was cutting her heart apart.

She knew that Yan Wugui had turned into dust, perhaps in some desolate place, where not even a handful of earth could be found.

That once solid harbor, now she is the only one left waiting alone.

Will miracles really happen?

Zhao prayed silently in her heart that if there really was a miracle in the world, she would be willing to give up everything in exchange for Yan Wugui's rebirth.

However, reason told her that this was nothing but a false fantasy.

The next morning, she still silently lit a stick of incense, expressing her endless longing and mourning.

Whenever Zhao thought of Yan Wugui, she would always wonder, if he could appear in that familiar alley again and see the young lady, would there be an imperceptible ripple in his heart?

Time flies. Is he no longer the naughty boy who always loved to play all kinds of tricks on his sweetheart?

Zhao believed that he would treat Su Rao with maturity and tenderness now.

There is no first come first served in love, but whoever arrives first always has an indescribable advantage.

Thinking of this, Zhao's eyes couldn't help but become moist, and tears silently slid down and dripped onto the cold ground.

……

At breakfast time, Su Rao accompanied her mother, but found that her mother's face seemed to have become more haggard, and her heart was suddenly filled with worry.

"Mom, are you feeling unwell?" Su Rao's voice was full of anxiety and concern.

Zhao shook her head gently and tried to force a smile: "It's okay, I just got a little scared these two days. After dinner, I will have a good rest."

After breakfast, Zhao went back to her room to rest, leaving Su Rao alone.

Su Rao strolled to the familiar alley under the pretext of shopping. Her feet turned into the alley involuntarily, and when she reached the end of the alley, she knocked lightly on the familiar door.

The door opened and Guyu's figure came into view.

"Miss." There was a hint of surprise in Guyu's voice.

"How is he?" Su Rao asked impatiently.

"Xiaoman took great pains to save his life, but he hasn't woken up yet." Guyu's answer was heavy.

Su Rao stepped into the house, closed the door gently, and walked towards the inner room.

A sturdy man was lying on the bed. Wrapped in layers of bandages, only his resolute and sleeping face was revealed. His tightly closed eyes seemed to be immersed in an endless dream.

Su Rao stood quietly beside the bed, staring at this mysterious man, her heart full of doubts and curiosity about his identity.

Only when he wakes up can all the mysteries be solved.

……

And in the prosperous Prince Qi's Mansion, the Prince of Qi's anger was almost bursting through the roof.

"A bunch of trash! We found the person, but the people we sent out were killed and the target ran away again! Since you know you are incompetent, why don't you send more people?" His words were full of anger and disappointment. Seeing the prey that was about to be caught slip away, these men became useless burdens in his eyes.

"How did Mu Changqing become the commander?"
