The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"What? Can't it?"

"My junior fellow apprentice is no pushover. You drugged him in front of him, are you kidding me?" The man frowned. Situ Yaorao pondered for a moment after hearing this and said, "That depends on you, the genius doctor."

"You!" Doctor Bupo was a little angry.

He'd seen shameless people before, but never someone this shameless. He'd already agreed with Situ Yaorao, but who could have imagined she'd suddenly change her mind, catching him off guard? If he refused now, Situ Yaorao might just break up with him. Even if he approached the Crown Prince about Situ Yaorao, it wouldn't have much of an impact, would it? Furthermore, his status meant he wouldn't beg anyone for help. This was his pride as a genius doctor.

This transaction is already his limit.

However, if he agreed to her request, he would be at a great loss. He took out the medicine, which meant that he was helping. If his junior fellow apprentice investigated in the future, he would probably be in the wrong. Thinking of this, Doctor Bupo was very conflicted.

"Divine doctor, you can consider it before the city lord's birthday, but after the city lord's birthday, I will never accept your conditions again. After all, this is the only chance." Situ Yaorao said.

"The only chance?" Divine Doctor Bupo was puzzled. If they were using the Crown Prince, they obviously wouldn't need his help. Thinking of this, Divine Doctor Bupo instantly understood. Clearly, this woman was planning to do it herself. This was beyond Bupo's expectations. He had thought she would ask Tan Tai Wu Yue for help.

"In short, the decision is in your hands, the Divine Doctor."

"I agree." Just as Situ Yaorao finished speaking, the voice of the Divine Doctor Bupo was heard.

"Huh?" Situ Yaorao was stunned. She really didn't expect that Divine Doctor Bupo would agree so quickly.

"You're not mad, are you?" Situ Yaorao looked at the Divine Doctor Bupo in disbelief. But the Divine Doctor Bupo just said, "Why? I promised you, isn't that what you wanted?"

"Yes, but I didn't expect you to be so straightforward." Situ Yaorao also expressed her doubts. Bupo, however, looked at Situ Yaorao with a calm expression and said, "In my eyes, I have my own way of judging what to do and what not to do. Although this matter may put me at a disadvantage, I don't feel too much burden. If you must say it, just think of it as your deep feelings touching me." After that, the divine doctor Bupo tossed her a porcelain bottle. However, this bottle was made of silver.

"It contains Sumeru water. The so-called Sumeru water will gradually make people lose their strength. This water is colorless and tasteless. Once added to food, people will become completely weak and vulnerable after eating the food. Naturally, this effect can only last for an hour. If it exceeds this time, there will be no chance at all. In addition, Sumeru water will not be discovered. But how to add it to the food is a difficult task. You know, the people in the City Lord's Mansion are not so easy to approach." said the Divine Doctor Bupo.

Situ Yaorao nodded when she heard this: "This is enough."

Just when she was about to leave, Doctor Bupo gave her something else.

"This is?"

"This is the token for entering and exiting the City Lord's Mansion. I got it from a deceased person some time ago. I originally wanted to refine that person into a puppet, but before he died, he said that he wanted to be buried in peace. He was willing to use this City Lord's token in exchange. I thought about it and took it off. I'll give it to you today."

Doctor Bupo said calmly.

Situ Yaorao was even more surprised: "What on earth are you planning?"

"Nothing." Bupo didn't explain. Situ Yaorao looked at it for a while, gritted her teeth and put it away. This thing is worth it.

After accepting the token from Divine Doctor Bupo, Situ Yaorao and Yu Sheng left together. Not only Situ Yaorao, but even Yu Sheng found it odd. Divine Doctor Bupo wouldn't be so helpful. Why was he so happy now? As if he'd already gained something.

This is really puzzling.

At this moment, Doctor Bupo was smiling. He hadn't been this happy for a long time.

The children around him looked confused. They didn't understand anything, but they knew that their master seemed very happy.

"There are always people in this world who are moved by emotions. When love is too deep, it leads to suffering. I once fell in love with a woman, but she didn't love me back. However, even so, I still loved her. I thought that if I gave her everything she liked, she would notice me. But in fact, I was wrong. What she really wanted was someone she could like. In the end, she found him. But like me, that person never fell in love with her.

That man was a rare, gifted child. He possessed noble status and talent, captivating countless women. Yet, he trusted reason over emotion. Countless times, she'd suffered for him, yet he'd simply ignored it. She'd given him her best, but to him, it was nothing more than a passing cloud. In the end, she died. A tragic death. And he, without shedding a single tear. Yet, I, because of her plea, agreed to help that man.

I don't believe in karma and reincarnation. If karma really exists in this world, then why hasn't this man been punished yet? But now, I believe it. It's not that there's no retribution, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. Tantai Yunyi, you swallowed the Forgetfulness Pill for someone else, gave up everything for someone else, but in the end, you're nothing more than a joke in their eyes.

This, perhaps, can be considered revenge, right?"

The man's tone was very light.

He had to admit that Situ Yaorao's current attitude really made him happy. Because he was sure that if Situ Yaorao got hurt because of this incident, Tan Tai Yunyi would be heartbroken.

But, the funny thing is, she was hurt not because of him. Thinking of this, Fupo couldn't help laughing.

People say that a single thought can lead to enlightenment, but in reality, how many people can truly understand this?

He couldn't figure it out. Tan Tai Yun Yi couldn't figure it out either. The infatuated men and resentful women in this world couldn't figure it out either.

Situ Yaorao returned to the inn filled with trepidation. She clutched the two items given to her by Divine Doctor Bupo, her heart filled with confusion. She couldn't understand why Bupo had given her these things. Could it be that he truly cared so deeply about the people of Xunyang City?

This is a joke.

How could it be possible for someone as proud as him?

"Situ, stop overthinking. No matter what happens, just know that you have a way to accomplish what you want to do. Even if Divine Doctor Bupo has some plans, it has nothing to do with you." Yu Sheng saw that Situ Yaorao was still looking worried, so she persuaded him. After hearing this, Situ Yaorao thought about it and felt that it made sense. So she said, "You do have a point. What Divine Doctor Bupo is thinking has nothing to do with me."

"Excuse me, is Miss Situ here?" A respectful voice came from outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao hurriedly said, "I'm here." She then opened the door. Then she saw Liu Chen standing at the door. Seeing Liu Chen coming, Situ Yaorao was a little surprised.

She glanced at Yu Sheng and said, "Yu Sheng, I want to talk to Young Master Liu Chen alone."

Yu Sheng couldn't help but frown at Situ Yaorao's words. Obviously, she shouldn't get too close to Liu Chen at this moment. However, since Situ Yaorao had a request, he wouldn't say anything more. So he nodded and left.

After the man left, Situ Yaorao looked at Liu Chen and said, "Sit down."

Liu Chen nodded upon hearing this. He then said, "What you said that day was so heartless. I thought you would just kick me out."

"If that's what you feel, why did you come to see me?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man in confusion. Liu Chen simply said, "Because I wanted to see you. I originally thought I wouldn't come to see you again. But after seeing you in the medicine pavilion today, I can no longer suppress my longing for you."

"Do you know that if these words were to get out, it would be considered treason?" Situ Yaorao frowned. Liu Chen was being too blunt, so blunt that he had to rebuke him.
