The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"I will. You don't need to worry about it."

"If you want to pass the Wutan Forest, forget it. There are many dangers in the Wutan Forest. You are the eldest daughter of the Situ family and you have everything you want. Even if you fail the female exam, you won't be too embarrassed. After all, your reputation has already become extremely bad." Tan Tai Yunyi looked at Situ Yaorao and said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao glared at him fiercely: "Are you trying to persuade me? Or are you trying to piss me off?"

"I'm just stating a fact." Tan Tai Yun Yi said very honestly.

"If my daughter fails the exam, I will definitely go to Wutianlin. After all, the most important thing for me is to pass this exam for her. I know very well what the consequences will be if she fails. There are sisters in the mansion who are eyeing my position, and there are countless people outside who are waiting to laugh at me. There are even people who are eyeing my mother's status. Once I fail, these things will become a reality. By then, my mother and I will be ostracized in the general's mansion and will not even be able to decide my own future. I would never want to live that kind of life even if I die." Situ Yaorao said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Yunyi looked at her deeply and said after a while, "I thought you were a very free and easy-going woman."

"Sorry, I can't be so carefree." Situ Yaorao said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Yunyi didn't say much, but simply nodded and said, "That's understandable. After all, this is your business. If I were you, I would probably make the same choice as you, risking my life to successfully pass the female exam. Even if it means passing through that terrifying Wutian Forest."

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao glanced at the man and asked, "Why did the prince suddenly come to me?"

"Ah?" Tan Tai Yun Yi was stunned.

"Why did the prince come to me and tell me this?"

"This... naturally I hope you can pass the female exam safely."

Tantai Yunyi's words made Situ Yaorao laugh so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

"What are you laughing at?" Tan Tai Yun Yi frowned slightly as he looked at Situ Yao Rao.

"No, nothing. I just thought it was funny. Your Highness, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? If someone else said this, I would believe it. But Your Highness, you should be the one who least wants me to pass the female exam, right?"

Situ Yaorao looked at the man, her smile unchanged, but her eyes were cold.

"If you can pass the female exam, it will be of no harm but only benefit to me. Why shouldn't I want you to pass?" Tan Tai Yun Yi looked at Situ Yaorao and asked with a frown.

"If I pass the female exam, maybe one day I will be with the prince. And Your Highness, isn't this what you most want to avoid?" Looking at the man, Situ Yaorao asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Yunyi shook his head: "You won't."

The man's attitude was firm, as if he knew exactly what Situ Yaorao was thinking. This attitude made Situ Yaorao feel a little doubtful. Why was he so sure about something she herself was unsure of?

"You have a strong temper. If you don't like someone, I think you will not marry him. But if you like him, you will definitely not want to drag him down. Therefore, there is no possibility between you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. After all, you have been poisoned by the Moonlight Poison." Tan Tai Yun Yi said at the end, looking at Situ Yaorao, as if he wanted to see through her.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao's face lost its previous smile, replaced by a cold expression. She looked at Tantai Yunyi for a long time without saying a word.

It must be said that Tantai Yunyi was very smart and easily found her weakness. She couldn't afford to drag down the man she loved.

If there was no cure for Yuehua's poison, she would never marry Tan Tai Wu Yue.

"Your Highness is truly clever. But... Yuehua's poison isn't truly incurable. What if I could cure it?"

"Impossible." Tantai Yunyi's attitude was even more decisive. Situ Yaorao was completely confused: "You are not a god, how do you know this is impossible?"

"Because I'm certain that your poison will never be cured. Miss Situ, you are the daughter of General Situ, and you have everything you want. It's a pity that you can't be with the Crown Prince, but please don't do anything that would cause trouble for others. The Yuehua poison can certainly be cured, but it can never be cured for you in this lifetime."

Tan Tai Yun Yi's attitude was so resolute and decisive.

Situ Yaorao was annoyed when she heard this, but she couldn't get angry at him, so she said, "You have a point."

After saying that, Situ Yaorao turned around and was about to leave.

"Miss Situ, the road is this way. Good luck to you in the second round of the women's exam." Tantai Yunyi said, making a gesture of invitation. Situ Yaorao frowned when she heard this: "I don't want to go back. I want to be alone and quiet. Is that not okay?"

"I'm just afraid that Miss Situ can't find her way back." Tan Tai Yun Yi smiled calmly, as if the person who just said such serious words was not him.

Tantai Yunyi's personality was just like that; he would never let his emotions fluctuate for anyone. Old men once said that some people live by their hearts, their joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness all controlled by their moods and the actions of others. Others, on the other hand, live by their brains. They control their hearts and emotions, and use their brains to handle everything.

Even if you killed his entire family, his first thought might be how to deal with you, rather than feeling sad.

People like this are scary.

And the Tan Tai Yun Yi in front of him is such a person.

You never know what he is thinking.

Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but sigh softly, turned around and walked away from him.

As Situ Yaorao sighed inwardly, so did Tantai Yunyi. This woman was actually quite good, but... she had been poisoned by the Moonlight Poison.

There is a solution, but it is impossible.

The relationship between this woman and the prince was destined to have no result.

Tantai Yunyi's understanding of Situ Yaorao only went so far. Whether it was the fish he saw last night or the woman he saw in the back mountain.

All these things were like an accident and were left behind by him.

One cannot remember too much, because if one remembers too much, one will not know which one to work hard for. His whole life was to watch the prince rule the world, to be able to live a carefree life in Lanlin.

The cherry blossoms in the palace were exceptionally beautiful. Situ Yaorao sat in the blood-red cherry blossom forest, thinking about what had just happened, feeling a little flustered.

Whether it was Cang's sudden appearance or Tantai Yunyi's words, they both made her feel helpless. Perhaps... she really shouldn't be with the Crown Prince.

Being able to live again this time is both a blessing and a misfortune. Fortunately, she can experience a different life without having to die. Unfortunately, she can meet the person she loves, but she no longer has the ability to stay with him forever.

If she had to make a choice, what she wanted more was to live well.

“Ouch, that hurts!”

Just as Situ Yaorao was thinking about this, she was suddenly hit on the head, causing her to scream. When she stood up, she saw a ball of paper on the ground.

Situ Yaorao looked around suspiciously and saw a man in green clothes about ten meters away. He was holding a bamboo flute, his eyes were nervous, and he looked a little uneasy.

His face was pale, and there was a scent of medicine floating in the wind. Situ Yaorao was very familiar with this smell, because not long ago, she almost got into trouble because of this smell.

When Leng Qingling plotted against her and the Seventh Prince that day, she had smelled it on the Seventh Prince's body.

Situ Yaorao took a few steps in his direction, and sure enough, this man was the Seventh Prince.

"Don't come over here." The man shouted hurriedly when he saw Situ Yaorao was still going forward.

The man's voice was so abrupt that Situ Yaorao paused in fear: "Seventh Prince?"

"You...you seem to be in a bad mood?" The Seventh Prince looked at Situ Yaorao and asked softly. Situ Yaorao heard this and the corner of her mouth twitched: "Are you trying to comfort me, Prince?"
