The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Of course, she didn't dare say these words. Just kidding, if these words were to get out, Madam Situ would lose half her life, if not her life. She might even get seriously ill because of this.

"Mom, don't worry. But Xiu'er is very tired now. You don't have to go to see her for now. Once she has rested well, she will naturally come to pay her respects to you with her daughter." Situ Yaorao said with a smile.

"Alright, alright, girl." Madam Situ shook her head helplessly, and then said, "Mother just came to see you and bring you some news."

"What news?" Situ Yaorao was puzzled.

"The emperor of Mingyue Kingdom has been replaced." Mrs. Situ looked solemn when she talked about this.

"Ah?" Situ Yaorao was stunned when she heard that. Then she heard Madam Situ continue, "The new emperor is Feng Ziqi."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, and Situ Yaorao was so frightened that she felt unwell.

"Yao Rao, mother knows about what happened between you and the new emperor of Mingyue Kingdom. When mother met Feng Ziqi at the beginning, I thought he was terrible and shouldn't stay in my Situ family. But because you like him, and mother was afraid that you would like the prince, I turned a blind eye. If I knew his identity, mother would never keep him in the Situ family, nor would I allow you to have a relationship with him." Mrs. Situ frowned tightly.

"Hey! Mother, I am the future Crown Princess now, why are you telling me these things?" Situ Yaorao said embarrassedly.

"Yao Rao, your mother asks you something, you must tell her the truth."

"Just say it."

"There's no contact between you and Feng Ziqi anymore, right?"

"No, he met me once before he left. But every time I met him, I told him very clearly that everything between him and me was over. I thought there shouldn't be any problems. Now, he has become the new emperor of Mingyue Kingdom, which is a good thing for both him and me. As the new emperor, he will not do anything wrong. And I... know that he is doing well, so I feel relieved. This relationship is actually very beautiful for my daughter, so my daughter also hopes that this will be the ending." Situ Yaorao said with a smile.

Madam Situ nodded upon hearing this. "If it really is as you wish, then Mother will be relieved. However, the new Emperor ascended the throne but did not appoint a Queen. Instead, he announced that he would visit Lanlin."

Situ Yaorao was even more surprised when she heard this. Is he crazy?

"Whether it's the Crown Prince or the new Emperor Mingyue, neither is suitable for you. Yaorao, you should understand what mother said."

"Yes." Situ Yaorao nodded.

"However, if you really need to choose one day, I would rather you choose the prince."

"Huh?" Situ Yaorao was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Feng Ziqi was better than the prince in Mrs. Situ's heart?

"Those bloodshot eyes will eventually bring disaster to people. Don't accuse me of being superstitious. It's the truth. There are many examples in this world. Feng Ziqi is no exception. Those with red eyes are bloodthirsty."

Mrs. Situ said.

Situ Yaorao heard this, but she didn't nod, nor did she refuse. She just remained silent.

"That's all I have to tell you." With that, Madam Situ left. Situ Yaorao's heart, however, remained restless. Perhaps it was precisely because of the bloodthirsty nature of the man with red eyes that these people were talking about that he had become what he was now?

Situ Yaorao could never forget the look on his face the first day she met him. He disbelieved everyone, like a wild animal. It was hard to imagine that such a man could be the crown prince of Mingyue Country.

Those blood-red eyes made him suffer so much.

As for Feng Ziqi, Situ Yaorao preferred to call him Cang in her heart because he looked more likable at that time.

As the night deepened, Situ Yaorao sat in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon in the sky, but what she was thinking about was the problems about Princess Wuyan and Princess Bingli.

She felt as if she had entered a strange circle, full of dangers, ever since she met Princess Wuyan. Even the assassin might not have been sent by her rival, but by those people.

Whizzing!

Just as Situ Yaorao was thinking about those things, she heard two whooshing sounds and two darts fell on the stone table. Situ Yaorao frowned when she saw it.

At that moment, Situ Yaorao felt a chill behind her, and she immediately stood up. Turning around, she saw a man in black standing there. He was indifferent to life. His eyes were icy, and he looked at her as if she were dead.

But Situ Yaorao was particularly familiar with this face.

"none?"

Who else could this person be except the slave she had bought home before?

"Yeah." The man nodded.

"Is this dart yours?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man warily. Hearing this, the man nodded again.

"Were you sent to kill me? Wulou?" Situ Yaorao continued to ask.

The man nodded again. Then, Situ Yaorao felt completely uneasy. Who were the people in her restaurant? Why would her slaves be assassins from Wulou? And this time, they were sent to kill her?

"Are you going to take action?" Situ Yaorao looked at Wu and asked without giving up.

Wu Wenyan hesitated for a moment, but only a moment. Then, he grabbed a long sword from nowhere and brought it down on Situ Yaorao's neck.

Come on!

Situ Yaorao frowned. It must be said that this man is truly a natural-born killer. His aura is very weak, and he appeared before you without warning.

But... Situ Yaorao didn't feel any murderous intent.

"No, what do you want to do?"

"I don't want to kill you." I felt a little distressed. I looked at Situ Yaorao. He had been sold to a human trafficker by his enemies after his assassination attempt failed. If it weren't for Situ Yaorao, he might still be where he is. But this woman bought him and gave him freedom. Although she had to keep him working in that restaurant, there was nothing wrong with it.

She always made that place bustling with activity, making him want to go back. But he was a killer. Killing was his way.

He chose to leave. He continued to take orders. His performance in Wulou was considered good. However, when he heard about the restaurant's opening, he returned.

God knows what he is thinking.

Even when she saw the order to assassinate her, she took the initiative to accept it.

"No..." Situ Yaorao called out cautiously. She took away the man's sword. The man did not attack again, but threw the sword to the ground: "I came to assassinate you. However, I went against the killer's will. I couldn't do it."

"Forehead?"

"The moment you buy me, you are my master."

"You are free."

"That's for you, but for me, I am still your servant. Miss Situ, I am a killer. So, do you still want me to stay in the restaurant?" Wu looked at Situ Yaorao and asked.

Situ Yaorao was stunned by the question, but nodded. "Of course I'm willing. To me, whether you're a killer or something else, you're still a member of the restaurant. After I bought you, I gave you freedom. If you don't leave, you're a member of the restaurant. If anything happens to you in the future, the restaurant will naturally take responsibility for you."

"You were almost killed by me just now." Wu reminded kindly.

Situ Yaorao was a little embarrassed when she heard this: "Ahem! It was just an accident."

"There will be more and more accidents. There will also be more and more people who want to kill you." I said lightly.

"This is the first time I've heard you talk so much!" Situ Yaorao said with a faint smile. Wu's mouth twitched. He didn't expect Situ Yaorao to suddenly change the subject.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. People say I'm a disaster. Good people don't pay with their lives, but disasters last a thousand years. If I don't live a thousand years, I should at least live a hundred."

"You are quite confident."

"Go back and rest. If you don't go back tomorrow when the restaurant opens for business, I'm afraid Yu Sheng will be angry."

"you……"

"I have no problem. But you, if you don't kill me, you won't be able to do that job, right?" Situ Yaorao asked softly. The man fell silent after hearing that.

In the Wu Tower, if the assassination attempt failed, there was only one outcome: his martial arts skills would be wasted and he would be expelled from the Wu Tower. This outcome was not a light one for him.
