The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

This place was like a mystery, enveloping the city. And the lives and deaths of those within the city might not be part of those people's plans. Yu Sheng didn't like this feeling.

Treating others like ants, exploiting them, plotting against them. He had left the Yu Family precisely because he hated these things. Unexpectedly, upon arriving in Xunyang City, he felt the same way again. Like Situ Yaorao, he hated this place.

Situ Yaorao suppressed the discomfort in her heart and walked towards the outside with Yu Sheng.

The center of Xunyang City was surrounded by black peonies. The surrounding area was relatively better. Situ Yaorao, afflicted by the moonlight, was acutely aware of this sensation, but others were not. As the two of them walked outside, they encountered some visitors who were curious about the place.

"Ah...I'm sorry." Situ Yaorao was so flustered at the moment that she bumped into someone without paying attention.

The person who was hit patted the place where Situ Yaorao had just touched him. He glanced at Situ Yaorao calmly and said, "Nothing." Then he turned and walked away.

The movement was so fast that Situ Yaorao couldn't even see what the person looked like.

"What's wrong?" Yu Sheng rushed over from behind. Seeing Situ Yaorao standing there in a daze, she couldn't help but worry.

"Nothing, I just bumped into someone." Situ Yaorao glanced at the back of the person she bumped into. The man, dressed in a gorgeous black suit, looked very similar to the Black Peony in the city.

"I've already found out how to get to Divine Doctor Bupo in the south of the city. Come with me." Yu Sheng took Situ Yaorao's hand and walked towards the outskirts. Carriages were forbidden in the city, so the two of them walked for half an hour before reaching Divine Doctor Bupo's residence, the Flower Garden. As the name suggests, the Flower Garden was planted with many flowers.

But there are no peonies.

There was no trace of peonies in front of the door, which made Situ Yaorao feel much better.

At the entrance of the flower garden stood two medicine boys, both about ten years old. Seeing Situ Yaorao coming over, the two little boys stepped forward together and said, "Beautiful sister, the miracle doctor said that no one is allowed to enter."

The garden gate was open, and the fresh air inside made Situ Yaorao feel very comfortable. However, the two children blocked her way, which made Situ Yaorao frown.

"Beautiful sister, please go back." The two children continued.

After hearing this, Situ Yaorao felt it was not appropriate to barge in. After all, she was still waiting for someone to treat her illness. If she offended anyone, she would really be waiting for death. Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao sighed softly. She touched the head of one of the children and said, "Little brother, I will stand here and wait for him until your miracle doctor agrees to see guests. Is this okay?"

After saying that, Situ Yaorao asked for Yu Sheng's outer robe, spread it on the ground, and then sat on it.

Seeing this scene, Yu Sheng was a little puzzled: "Situ, why are you doing this? We can come back tomorrow. What if he catches a cold if he sits like this?" Yu Sheng said worriedly.

"Yu Sheng, there are no peonies here." Situ Yaorao looked at Yu Sheng and said softly.

Yu Sheng understood instantly after hearing this.

Perhaps the peony was truly harmful, otherwise Divine Doctor Bupo wouldn't have planted it. And I had to admit, standing here was much more relaxing than when I first entered the city.

"Yu Sheng, just wait here. I don't have much time. If I can't even see you, I'm afraid you will really have to collect my body." Situ Yaorao said with a frown.

Yu Sheng fell silent upon hearing this. Along the way, he had practically obeyed Situ Yaorao's every word, hoping only that he wouldn't upset her. He was so angry that he was ruining his health.

If there really was no cure for Yue Hua's poison, perhaps this would be his last chance to meet Situ Yaorao. Thinking of this, Yu Sheng felt a little sad. And after the sadness, there was the impulse.

Yu Sheng impulsively sat next to Situ Yaorao and waited with her!

As night fell, Situ Yaorao half leaned against Yusheng. Yusheng went from being excited at first to calling himself a fool. He must be crazy to be influenced by Situ Yaorao.

This woman can also be sad? This is a joke.

She clearly didn't want to wait alone, so she acted so pitiful. Thinking of this, Yu Sheng wanted to push her away and go back to the inn alone.

"Yusheng, I'm hungry." Situ Yaorao stood up and looked down at him. In her heart, she was laughing wildly. It was the first time she had seen Yusheng so obedient.

"So what?" Yu Sheng asked unhappily.

"Buy me some food." Situ Yaorao looked innocent, but her attitude was firm. However, Yu Sheng didn't want to refute her. She could only grit her teeth and go.

I thought to myself: Situ Yaorao, just wait until you recover from your illness!

After Yu Sheng left, Situ Yaorao put away his robe, cut her finger, and put the blood into a jade bottle. Then she walked over to the two children and said, "Little brother, I've been waiting all day. I guess Divine Doctor Bupo really doesn't want to see anyone. How about this? You help me get this jade bottle to Divine Doctor, and I won't bother you anymore. Okay?" Situ Yaorao's face was gentle. She wished she could be covered in sheepskin.

The two children looked at each other in bewilderment. They had seen many a pet start a quarrel when they couldn't see their master, and they had also seen many others cry and scream. But this was the first time they had seen a pet resting at the door all day and then bringing a bottle at night.

"My master doesn't accept gifts." However, despite being surprised, an older child still said seriously.

Situ Yaorao smiled when she heard this: "This isn't a gift, but something your master might be interested in. If he's not interested, I'll bring you some cakes tomorrow to make amends, okay?"

"This……"

"The things are already in your hands. I'm tired and should go back. If you don't hand them over, you will not have fulfilled your promise to me." After saying that, Situ Yaorao left without looking back.

The two children stared blankly at the bottles in their hands. It took them a moment to realize that they hadn't made any promises at all!

But no matter what, the thing had already fallen into their hands. Even if they didn't want to help, it was difficult for the two to stay. So, the older child had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the garden.

The door of the house in the garden was open. A man in brocade clothes was sitting inside, distributing medicinal herbs one by one.

"Master." There was a hint of nervousness in the child's voice.

The man raised his head calmly upon hearing this. His beautiful dark eyes turned to the child. The child shuddered at the sight and said, "Master, please forgive me."

"What crime have you committed?" the man asked in a cold tone. His hands, dividing the herbs, did not stop.

The child was terrified of the divine doctor, so he offered the jade bottle with both hands: "This... this was left by the person who came to ask the master for treatment today. The beautiful sister said that the master would be interested in this thing, so let me give it to you."

"Hmm?" The man paused, frowning in dissatisfaction.

"I know I'm wrong, Master, please punish me." The child was frightened by his appearance and burst into tears. Then he knelt on the ground.

Upon hearing this, Divine Doctor Bupo threw him a porcelain bottle, then accepted the jade bottle and said, "Since you know your mistake, eat it."

Upon hearing this, the slave did not dare to neglect and hurriedly took the medicine given by the divine doctor. Then his eyes turned scarlet and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Get out! Don't dirty my house!" the man said coldly. The slave shuddered at the words and hurried out. But the divine doctor, Bupo, opened the jade bottle. The scent of blood filled his nostrils.

"Hmm?" The man was slightly puzzled. Clearly, this was the first time he had received such a thing. He carelessly dripped blood into the teacup, only to see the tea in it instantly turn black and red.

There are faint water ripples on it.

"Oh?" The man was in high spirits and poured the water in the teacup onto the pile of herbs he had just identified. Then he saw the color of the herbs dim.

The effect of the medicine disappeared just like that.

Seeing this, the man's emotionless eyes flickered a little, and he slowly walked out. Looking at the pale child lying on the ground, he said, "If that girl comes again tomorrow, please invite her in." After that, he stuffed the antidote into the child's hand.
