The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

The pain was gone, and the child knelt again and again in gratitude, then ran to the door to guard it.

The man's black hair flowed down to his waist like silk. He toyed with the jade vase in his hands. A gleam of brilliance shone in his eyes. He looked at the flowers in the garden, chuckled softly, and turned to go back into the room.

The child stole a glance at the broken cloth. He wondered why the master seemed so happy today. Perhaps it was because of the gift from the beautiful sister?

Yu Sheng bought some food but before she could go back, Situ Yaorao who had already arrived pulled her back to the inn.

"Why are you back so soon?" Yu Sheng was puzzled.

"It's late at night, so we should rest. We can go tomorrow." Situ Yaorao had a calm face.

Yu Sheng didn't know what to say to this willful person after hearing this. However, since it was her decision, he just had to listen. He slept well that night.

Early the next morning, Situ Yaorao woke up Yu Sheng who was sleeping.

Yu Sheng was half asleep, and when he heard Situ Yaorao calling him, he was puzzled: "Why so early?"

"Let me show you the scenery outside." Yu Sheng's eyes fell on the outside. She saw a thick red mist spreading outside. Yu Sheng was also surprised when she saw it. This red mist was emitted from the peonies.

"I told you, there's something wrong with this peony." Situ Yaorao chuckled.

Yu Sheng, however, couldn't bring herself to laugh. These peonies... they were practically life-threatening.

And all the people in this city will become nutrients for the peonies?

"Yusheng, you seem very unhappy." Situ Yaorao looked at Yusheng's face and spoke lightly. Yusheng heard this and her voice became hoarse: "How can you make me happy? These peonies are simply death warrants, they are taking the lives of everyone in this city."

"Even so, it's not something we can control." Situ Yaorao said lightly.

"But at least..."

"Yu Sheng, don't be naive. You don't think anyone will believe it if you spread it out, do you? Even if someone believes it, you don't think those people will let us go after we are discovered, do you? This is not the imperial city, but Xunyang City. If you want to live for two more days, just pretend that you saw nothing." Situ Yaorao said softly.

Yu Sheng frowned when she heard this: "Situ, what does human life mean to you?"

Situ Yaorao even paused, and said after a while: "I don't know, no matter what, I am powerless to save others. Because I still need others to save me." When Situ Yaorao said this, her fingers dug deeply into the palm of her hand.

How could she be indifferent to what was happening in Xunyang City? However, she really had the will but not the ability to do anything. She was still a clay Buddha crossing the river.

"The fog has dissipated. Let's go." Situ Yaorao said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng gritted her teeth and followed.

They came to the mansion of the miracle doctor again. The two children were still standing there. Seeing Situ Yaorao coming, they said, "Big sister, our master said you can come in."

"Oh?" Situ Yaorao smiled and walked into the mansion. However, Yu Sheng was stopped again: "Young Master, please wait outside."

Yu Sheng was stunned when she heard this. So Situ Yaorao was allowed to go in alone?

But it’s better this way, as he is also upset because of what happened during the day.

Situ Yaorao walked into the man's room. Inside the room, the man was sitting on a chair, his fingers nimbly cleaning a medicinal herb. Hearing Situ Yaorao's footsteps, his eyes fell on Situ Yaorao.

Situ Yaorao was stunned by what she saw. Those eyes were exactly the same as when she first saw Tan Tai Wu Yue.

"Young lady, why did you come to see me?"

"To survive." Situ Yaorao said.

The man said with indifference, "There are countless people in this world who want to live, and countless people who want to seek my help. Why do you think I will save you?"

"I never thought you would save me. It's just that if I didn't come, I would be waiting to die. Now that I'm here, although I'm also waiting to die, I have a glimmer of hope. People always have to take a gamble." Situ Yaorao said.

The man was moved when he heard this: "So that's how it is. That blood is yours?"

"Yes." Situ Yaorao answered honestly.

"If you had come earlier, perhaps I could have saved you. But now, you'd better wait for death." The man's words were merciless. Situ Yaorao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard it: "I don't know what the difference is between earlier and now?"

"The poison of the moonlight is a strange poison. It becomes weaker when it encounters the first sun and stronger when it encounters the moonlight. If you hadn't used the first sun to relieve the pain in your body, you might have been saved. But now... your body is mixed with the blood of the most yang. Although I don't know whose it is, I have to admit that the person is really scheming. You rely on the warmth of the first sun and on that person's blood. This caused your moonlight poison to break out early. Now, even if the Daluo Immortal came, I'm afraid he couldn't save you. In this life, you can only rely on that person's blood to survive." The man said lightly.

"Blood?" Situ Yaorao was stunned. Whose blood did she drink?

"Why? Don't you know?"

"Of course I don't know. If I knew, I would have arrested him and bled him long ago." Situ Yaorao answered so straightforwardly that the man who wanted to explain was also stunned.

"That's troublesome. You don't know who that person is, and it seems that he won't give you blood anymore. Now you can really wait to die." Doctor Bupo said lightly.

Situ Yaorao felt that this person was very powerful. Just by taking his blood, she knew everything.

"I don't want to save you, nor do I have the ability to save you. However, if you want to live longer, I do have a way." Doctor Bupo looked at Situ Yaorao and said lightly.

"any solution?"

"Pick all the peonies in this city." Divine Doctor Bupo said with a smile. As soon as these words came out, Situ Yaorao's face changed.

She knew those peonies weren't good. This was the only way to save the people in the city. But...picking the peonies would be tantamount to opposing the city lord. Without the Situ family's protection and the Crown Prince's intimidation, could she escape alive? Could she return to the Imperial City happily?

Situ Yaorao was deeply confused about this.

"This is the only way. If you don't want to, you probably can only wait for death." Doctor Bupo saw Situ Yaorao hesitate and added another sentence.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but sigh, "The miracle doctor has given me a difficult problem. Tell me, why do you tell me?" Situ Yaorao calmed down. There is no free lunch in this world. The miracle doctor hadn't saved anyone in three years, so how could he tell her the solution when he met her?

Doctor Bupo didn't expect Situ Yaorao to calm down so quickly. Instead, he looked at her with a higher opinion: "This Xunyang City is where I live. I just don't want it to be destroyed."

"If that's the case, if you had saved the city lord's sister, wouldn't you have been able to save Xunyang City as well?"

"Even if the peonies are gone, they can still be planted. Besides, I don't want to leave any trouble. The mayor of Xunyang City is not worthy of being the mayor." As soon as the Divine Doctor Bupo said this, Situ Yaorao felt unwell.

After hearing what he said, how could she not know what he was thinking?

The mayor of Xunyang City was appointed by the emperor. Toppling him would be incredibly difficult. Divine Doctor Bupo didn't want to leave such a scourge behind. But he couldn't do anything about it. So, for three years, he didn't treat anyone.

Under such circumstances, the fact that Doctor Bupo suddenly said this to her meant that he had realized her identity. And now, if she wanted to survive, she had to go against the city lord.

By then, one side is bound to collapse.

The Invincible Divine Doctor only moved his lips and did nothing. He was still the independent and aloof Invincible Divine Doctor.

Situ Yaorao really didn't know whether she should applaud him or strangle him to death first.

It was a trap, but she had to eat the food in the trap because she had no choice.

Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao's heart was in turmoil.

Out of the garden.

Yu Sheng hurried over: "What did Divine Doctor Bu Po say?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back." Situ Yaorao frowned, her attitude serious. Yu Sheng rarely saw Situ Yaorao like this. So she nodded. After the two returned to the inn, Situ Yaorao finally couldn't help but curse: "That's a bastard!"

Yu Sheng, who was closing the door, was startled by her: "This miracle doctor is really capable. He can make you suffer a setback."

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao glared at him hatefully: "Who told you that I was defeated?"
