The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"Remember the Yunlou I told you about before? After the talks broke down that day, I secretly followed him. And unexpectedly, I discovered his master."

"kindness?"

"Yunlou is notorious now, but everything he did was directed by someone. And that person discovered my existence. I was forced to fight him and even got injured." Yunluo said, loosening his clothes, revealing the wound on his shoulder. There are definitely not many people who can hurt Yunluo.

Furthermore, Yun Luo had no intention of fighting and wanted to escape. How could such a situation have injured Yun Luo to such an extent? Situ Yaorao was truly surprised.

"After I escaped here, that person didn't come after me. This made me curious. What was his attitude? If he wanted to hunt me down, why did he suddenly disappear? Finally, I came to a conclusion. Perhaps, he didn't want you, Situ, to discover his existence."

"And then? How can I help you?"

"I want you to help me lead that person out."

"I'm sorry, I can't help you." Situ Yaorao sighed softly. Yun Luo fell silent upon hearing this. Seeing him silent, Situ Yaorao continued, "Under normal circumstances, I would help you out of acquaintance. But now, it's impossible. The Emperor has issued an imperial decree requiring me to marry Tan Tai Wu Yue in a month. Everyone knows this. I'm already struggling to protect myself, and if I risk it again, I deserve to die."

"The Emperor's decree?" Yun Luo was shocked. He hadn't heard of this matter yet. He had been busy tracking down Yun Lou's whereabouts for the past two days. Furthermore, he had been hunted all day today, so naturally he had no time to find out.

"Well, my father is furious about this matter now. It's good enough that he didn't put me in solitary confinement. I will only stay here for two days. As long as the restaurant opens and can operate normally, I will go back to the Situ family. So, I'm sorry, I can't help you." Situ Yaorao said helplessly.

However, she still felt a little dissatisfied with Yunlou's situation. If it weren't for Yunluo, she would never have allowed Yunlou to continue like this.

But... who is this person who can hurt Yun Luo and shut up the government?

Situ Yaorao couldn't understand why.

"Since you can't do anything about this matter, I will think of other ways." Yun Luo was not a person who liked to force others to do things. Such a big thing happened to Situ Yaorao, if he continued to pester her, it would be too much to say. Thinking of this, Yun Luo took off the sword at his waist: "I am going back to the Demon Cult. The Demon Cult cannot be without a leader for a day. If I don't go back, I am afraid that the Demon Cult will be in chaos. I don't know how to thank you for your help these days. This sword has been with me for ten years. Now I give it to you. If you have any trouble in the future, take the sword to find me at the Demon Cult headquarters. When those people see the sword, they will bring you to me. I will help you solve all your troubles."

The promise of the Demon Cult leader is extremely precious.

Even though Yunluo was powerless here, as long as he returned to the Demon Cult, everyone would respond. Situ Yaorao naturally wouldn't refuse a promise from someone like him.

Taking the sword, Situ Yaorao smiled and said, "Thank you."

"I should be the one to say thank you." Yun Luo sighed softly.

"Yunluo, if you have nowhere to go, come to Lanyi Pavilion. Lanyi Pavilion welcomes you at any time."

"If that day ever comes, I'll come," Yun Luo said. But Yun Luo knew in his heart that he couldn't possibly come to Lan Yi Pavilion again. As the leader of the Demonic Cult, he had too much to do. He shouldn't get too involved with this woman. Otherwise, he'd be harming her, and himself. Good and evil shouldn't be involved in any way.

If he insists on doing it, the price he will pay will be something he cannot afford.

Situ Yaorao, this woman, seemed to have a demonic nature, making people unable to help but be nice to her. Even if they didn't like her, they would still want to be friends with her. And this kind of person was exactly what Yun Luo feared the most.

Yun Luo left, and left cleanly.

Situ Yaorao gripped her sword, a smile on her face. Perhaps this world isn't as bad as imagined. Perhaps many things are troublesome. But... the people I met here are all real. Treat them well, and they will treat you well in return.

Under the night sky, the capital city is brightly lit.

This is especially true inside the imperial palace.

But tonight is destined not to be an ordinary night.

The emperor's imperial edict shocked the people in the capital and made them unable to react, but those in the palace were all smart and reacted early, and then rushed to find out the reason.

In the Queen's bedroom.

A man and a woman sat on a soft couch. The man was dressed in bright yellow, while the woman wore a purple phoenix robe and a phoenix crown. Her eyes sparkled. She nodded to the middle-aged man beside her, handed him a cup of tea, and said softly, "Your Majesty, this afternoon, Concubine An came to visit me."

"What is she doing here?" The emperor frowned.

"Noble Concubine An has a niece who is as beautiful as a flower. She has always wanted to marry the prince. But your imperial decree directly tied the prince and Situ Yaorao together. Noble Concubine An came to me to complain about her grievances." The queen smiled.

"What about you? I've arranged a marriage for the Crown Prince. What are your thoughts on this?"

"I dare not have any thoughts. The Crown Prince's marriage is a matter of great importance. It has already affected the affairs of state. The ancients have taught that women in the harem are not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Naturally, I dare not speak rashly."

"You are quite sensible. I did this for my own reasons. Although Situ Yaorao has a bad reputation, she was a pretty good woman the last time I saw her. There's nothing wrong with marrying her to the Crown Prince. What's more, the Crown Prince has his heart set on her, and I have fulfilled his wish by doing this. As for those rumors and those who are unwilling to accept the news, just send them away."

"Does the emperor really want the prince to marry Situ Yaorao?" the queen asked somewhat unwillingly.

"This matter has been decided. Queen, please do not say any more." The emperor said coldly. Upon hearing this, the queen naturally did not dare to say anything more. However, she was dissatisfied in her heart.

Situ Yaorao? I want to see what kind of girl she is. If she is not worthy of the Crown Prince, even if I kill her, I absolutely cannot let her become the Crown Princess and hinder the Crown Prince.

The sun was at its highest point, and it happened to be the day when Bingxin Lake was in full bloom. There were hundreds of docks in the center of the lake, and the most famous Bingxin Painting Boat was located on an island in the center of the lake.

The island is not big and is man-made. On the island, there is a small building shaped like a boat. The dark red building adds a lot of mystery to the island.

Most of the boats in the center of the lake stopped there just to enjoy the pleasure boats at night. Bingxin Lake had a rule: it was only open twelve times a year, once a month. If Bingxin Lake was open after the opening, entering the lake would be impossible without at least 18,000 taels of silver. And even less, enjoying the pleasures of the girls on the pleasure boats.

More importantly, on this day, the most beautiful woman in Bing Xin's painted boat would appear. Most people came here for this very reason.

Under the scorching sun, many people ran into their cabins.

However, there were also some young men standing in front of the boat, as if they wanted to show off their elegance and grace to others.

In the northwest corner of Bingxin Lake, there was also a boat. A few people were sitting on this seemingly inconspicuous boat.

Situ Yaorao sat in the cabin, staring outwards, her brow furrowed. Yu Sheng stood hesitantly before her. Mo Zhu sat in a corner, drinking alone, unconcerned. "Um... Situ?"

Situ Yaorao heard the voice, glanced at the man, and sneered: "What? You know to call me now?"

"Look at what you're saying. When would I ever dare to forget you?" Yu Sheng said sincerely, and the lazy expression finally disappeared from his face. Instead, he was flattered and filled with endless regret.

Looking at Situ Yaorao's half-smile, Yu Sheng felt a wave of regret in his heart. If he were given another chance, he would never dare to provoke this girl, even if it meant death.

"Heh! Since you care so much about my thoughts, you shouldn't bring me to such a place, right?" Situ Yaorao sneered, feeling depressed in her heart.
