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

Chapter 117 What are you afraid of?

Su Rao caught the moment when the princess wavered and was about to persuade her further, but she heard Mrs. Huo's voice. It was a delicate balance that gave Su Rao an opportunity but also laid a trap.

"I will sacrifice my life for it."

Su Rao's answer was concise and firm. She understood that this was not only a promise to the eldest princess, but also an adherence to her own beliefs.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Huo was secretly delighted, thinking that everything was under control.

However, after a brief hesitation, the eldest princess finally nodded and agreed to Su Rao's request.

The smile on Mrs. Huo's lips became more and more obvious, but she didn't know that this was the beginning of her miscalculation.

"Bai Ze." Su Rao called softly, and then there was a knock on the door.

The eldest princess was surprised and signaled the servant to go and check. The door opened and Bai Ze appeared in white, handsome and extraordinary, and it was difficult to tell whether he was androgynous. His appearance moved everyone present.

Facing the eldest princess's question, Bai Ze's eyes never left Su Rao.

Su Rao directly raised the issue of the princess being poisoned, and Bai Ze slowly walked towards the little princess, ready to find out the truth.

"Don't touch her!" The eldest princess's worry was evident in her words, but Su Rao's question made everyone present fall into silence.

Finally, under the nervous gaze of everyone, Bai Ze lightly touched the princess's cheek, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, a crystal clear little insect was captured by him.

Su Rao felt a surge of relief in her heart. This tiny creature was actually the culprit that caused the princess to fall into a coma?

Mrs. Huo's face was full of disbelief, and the looks that Huo Chengjun exchanged with her were full of astonishment and unwillingness.

On the bed, the little princess' eyelids trembled slightly, and then slowly opened.

She looked at the eldest princess, her mouth slightly opened, and the word "Changle" made the eldest princess burst into tears instantly. All her worries and fears disappeared at this moment.

Mrs. Huo and Huo Chengjun stood there in a daze, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief.

Their original plan was to take the opportunity to attack Su Rao and even alienate the eldest princess and Prince Yi, but it backfired. Not only did Su Rao win the eldest princess's trust, but she also possibly brought the eldest princess and Prince Yi closer together. This was undoubtedly a self-defeating move.

Huo Chengjun was eager to save the situation and tried to turn the blame to Su Rao, questioning why Bai Ze beside her was so proficient in witchcraft, and even hinted that all this might be Su Rao's conspiracy.

Su Rao watched coldly. She knew the logic behind these tactics because she had been in such a struggle.

The eldest princess had mixed feelings. Although she was overjoyed that her daughter had awakened, Huo Chengjun's words still cast a shadow in her heart.

If Su Rao really used her daughter as a bargaining chip, she would never let it go easily.

However, it will take time to reveal the truth.

The eldest princess' eyes suddenly became sharp, as if they could see into the deepest part of people's hearts.

Little Princess Changle seemed to feel the tense atmosphere. She stretched out her tender little hands and gently tugged at her mother's gorgeous sleeves. She looked at Su Rao with her round eyes, shaking her little head from side to side. Her childish face was full of protection for Su Rao.

Seeing this, the eldest princess' eyes flashed with tenderness. She gently stroked her daughter's delicate face, and said in a soft but firm voice: "Changle, my dear child, you should have a good rest. Mother will take care of other things for you."

In her heart, her daughter's innocence must not be tarnished, and she will personally eliminate any hidden dangers that may harm her daughter in the name of maternal love.

Afterwards, the eldest princess stood up, followed by Su Rao, the gentle Mrs. Huo, and the sharp-tongued Huo Chengjun, and they walked into the courtyard.

Su Rao faced Huo Chengjun's accusation with a calm face and a somewhat helpless and resolute tone: "Your Highness, Miss Huo's words are too harsh. I have absolutely no ill will towards the little princess, so how could I be so cruel as to put a curse on her? The world can bear witness to my love for the little princess, so how could I do such a sinful thing?"

Huo Chengjun refused to give in. Her words were like sharp arrows, one after another, pressing forward step by step: "You deliberately get close to the little princess, just to win the favor of His Highness. First put the poison and then remove it, this is undoubtedly a quick way. Otherwise, how can you be so confident that you can cure the little princess, and how do you explain that your followers can make her recover so quickly? All of this is too coincidental, it makes people have to doubt it!"

Huo Chengjun's eyes were full of determination. She was determined to make sure Su Rao was exposed to the sun.

Su Rao raised a faint smile, as if everything was under control: "In fact, things are far from being that complicated."

Huo Chengjun frowned when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "What do you mean by this?"

At this moment, the eldest princess's eyes were also focused on Su Rao, waiting for her explanation.

Su Rao spoke slowly, her voice clear and powerful: "There is a special connection between the person who puts the Gu and the Gu worm. The Gu worm feeds on blood, and whoever's blood it sucks becomes its master."

Huo Chengjun was stunned when she heard this. It was the first time she heard such a statement, but Su Rao's words seemed unusually firm.

Su Rao continued, and extended her hand to the princess's attendant: "Princess, in order to prove my innocence, I am willing to accept the test. Please lend me a knife."

The attendant looked at the eldest princess, who nodded slightly in tacit approval.

A moment later, the servant handed over a sharp knife. After Su Rao took it, she did not rush to act, but looked at Huo Chengjun with deep eyes: "If according to Miss Huo's logic, I cast a spell on the young princess because I wanted to gain her trust, then can I also infer that Miss Huo also has a motive for doing so?"

Huo Chengjun's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he retorted: "You are talking nonsense!"

Su Rao narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was smiling: "Miss Huo is so excited, is it really a sign of guilt?"

"You! Don't think you can use your sinister methods on me!" Huo Chengjun was indignant.

Su Rao was relentless: "Ms. Huo, if you are really innocent, it shouldn't be difficult to prove your innocence, right?"

"I am innocent to begin with, why should I do this?" Huo Chengjun asked back, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Miss Huo is so scared that it makes people feel suspicious." Su Rao said thoughtfully.

Seeing this, the princess' heart was also filled with ripples, and she questioned Huo Chengjun: "Chengjun, it's just a drop of blood, what are you afraid of?"

Huo Chengjun's face turned pale, and he tried to remain calm: "Your Highness, I'm not afraid."

Su Rao decisively cut her finger, a drop of bright red blood fell into the prepared plate, and then she handed the knife to Huo Chengjun.

Huo Chengjun looked at the knife in his hand hesitantly, and then looked at Mrs. Huo for help, but Mrs. Huo just pursed her lips, obviously there was nothing she could do about it.

"Ms. Huo, are you afraid?" Su Rao raised her eyebrows, with a hint of provocation in her words.
