The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Situ Yaorao frowned tightly: "I don't want to implicate you."

"If it were me who did this, at most I would be scolded by my father. But if it were you, I'm afraid my father would not give you a chance to live." Tan Tai Wu Yue continued.

Situ Yaorao was surprised. The emperor wouldn't forgive her?

"This city lord is named Liu Wuchen. Back then, my father had a beloved concubine who was also a member of the Liu family. The Liu family was extremely prosperous because of that concubine. However, later on, that concubine was banished to the cold palace. It was said that it was because she betrayed my father. However, anyone who knew a little about the affairs of the palace knew that it was just a conspiracy. Many people knew about it, but no one dared to speak out about what happened back then. Because it was too complicated. After the concubine died in the cold palace, her child disappeared. My father knew that the concubine had a child. Over the years, he has been investigating the matter openly and secretly. Until three years ago, when my father went to Beiyue Mountain to worship Buddha, he was assassinated and fell off a cliff. His life or death is unknown. After he returned, he was accompanied by Liu Wuchen. Liu Wuchen cut his own flesh to save my father's life. My father was right to be grateful. However, my father gave him Xunyang City.

This kind of thing is not ordinary. No matter how great his contribution was, Liu Wuchen should not have been awarded a city. This was clearly a sign of favoritism from his father. Later, he came to Xunyang City and became even closer to the Liu family.

After arriving in Xunyang City, Yun Yi's suspicions grew, so he began to investigate. The truth was, Liu Wuchen was the missing child. His father knew this, which was why he protected Liu Wuchen so well. If I were to touch Xunyang City, his father would at most be displeased. But if you were to touch Xunyang City, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Tan Tai Wu Yue's voice was not loud, and only the people at Situ Yaorao's table could hear it.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao was shocked. What Princess Wuyan had told her coincided with the incident with Liu Wuchen. If this were true, she would really get into trouble if she did it. Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but say, "Then, let's not touch Xunyang City. I only want the peonies in this city. That's all I need."

"If you want to touch the peonies in the city, you will be asking for the life of the city lord. The city lord values ​​these peonies very much. Besides, I don't want you to only have one year to live. Although his identity makes people fear him. But... no one can stop what I want. Even if my father dotes on him. This is still the case." Tan Tai Wu Yue's attitude was a little arrogant.

Of course, he also has the ability to be arrogant. He is the crown prince. He has been able to sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince for many years, so he must have his own abilities.

"you……"

"Do whatever you want. I'll tell everyone I was the one who did it." Tantai Wuyue's tone was gentle, with a hint of doting. Situ Yaorao's heart moved slightly. She was deeply touched.

This person really thought of everything for her.

Situ Yaorao finally agreed to Tan Tai Wu Yue's request. If it weren't for what Tan Tai Wu Yue had just said, she wouldn't have planned to involve him. However, a savior is different from a son.

The Emperor's son, though he couldn't be made a prince at the moment, was still very kind to him. Therefore, the Emperor clearly valued Liu Wuchen greatly. What would happen if she touched the Emperor's cherished son? Oh! Perhaps even the Situ family would be unable to escape, right?

"Yu Sheng, I will go to the City Lord's Mansion with him. You just wait here. Otherwise, you will be implicated in anything." Situ Yaorao looked at Yu Sheng and said lightly.

Yu Sheng nodded upon hearing this. This matter was indeed quite involved.

Seeing Yu Sheng nod, Situ Yaorao and Tan Tai Wu Yue entered the City Lord's Mansion together.

Tantai Wuyue had been invited by the City Lord to the main house for a banquet. After all, Tantai Wuyue was the Crown Prince. Even if the City Lord distrusted him, he wouldn't dare do anything. However, when Tantai Wuyue and Situ Yaorao entered the house, everyone in the room was startled. The most surprised person was none other than Liu Chen's father, the Patriarch of the Liu family.

Seeing Situ Yaorao coming here, Liu Wuchen was a little puzzled, so he stood up, looked at Tan Tai Wu Yue, and asked, "Your Highness, may I know who this girl is?"

"This palace's future Crown Princess." Tantai Wuyue's tone was calm. But with just one sentence, everyone understood Situ Yaorao's identity. The Liu family's head's expression became even uglier.

Question: What should you do if you see the person your son likes and find out that this person is the Crown Princess?

For the first time, the Liu family's patriarch felt the urge to kill his own son. Why did he like Situ Yaorao when there weren't other people he liked? And more importantly, he had previously offended this ancestor.

However, Situ Yaorao seemed not to have seen him at all.

"I've heard for a long time that General Situ's daughter has unparalleled beauty and stunning looks. Seeing her today, it's true. No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes her so much and brought her here." Liu Wuchen glanced at Situ Yaorao and praised her.

Tan Tai Wu Yue took Situ Yaorao to sit down and said, "It's just a chance encounter. Compared to this, it's the City Lord's birthday, and I don't have any gifts to give, and I came too hastily, so this dagger can be considered a gift." Tan Tai Wu Yue said, taking out a dagger.

When Liu Wuchen saw the dagger, his expression changed: "What does your Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?"

"It's nothing. This dagger was used by the city lord to save my father. Today I will give this dagger to the city lord." Tan Tai Wu Yue said as he threw the dagger to Liu Wu Chen.

Liu Wuchen's expression changed instantly. He stood up angrily and said, "Prince, what do you mean? Please explain clearly."

"If you mean what I mean, I also have something to ask you. What are the peonies in Xunyang City?" Tan Tai Wu Yue asked.

Liu Wuchen laughed when he heard this: "Haha, Your Highness, what you said is true. The peonies in Xunyang City were planted by me in memory of my concubine. What? Is there a problem?"

"This is a serious problem. According to my investigation, the peonies in this city can suck a person's vitality, making them increasingly weak. In the end, they can even kill them. Yet you planted these strange peonies all over the city. You are a ruthless person!"

Tan Tai Wu Yue's tone was cold, and after he finished speaking, he also stood up.

There weren't many people in the room. There were only Tantai Wuyue, Tantai Yunyi, the Liu family, and five wealthy families. Now, Tantai Wuyue suddenly launched a tantrum at the banquet. No one had expected this.

The city lord's expression became increasingly ugly: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Don't know? Then I'll pick all the peonies in this city." Tantai Wuyue's tone was icy. Liu Wuchen frowned, "I planted these to commemorate my beloved. And I am the master of Xunyang City. Prince, you're really not taking me seriously, are you?"

"Do I need to take you seriously?" Tan Tai Wu Yue asked back.

On the side, Tan Tai Yun Yi, who was drinking silently, almost choked to death on his drink when he heard this. It must be said that when Tan Tai Wu Yue was not irritating him, his words were really powerful.

Just one sentence made Liu Wuchen's face turn pale with anger.

"You! This city was given to me by the Emperor. I am the one who makes the decisions. Prince, you are showing off your power here and even want to pick all my peonies. This is disrespectful to the Emperor."

"That's fine. I'll naturally explain to my father. As for you, you have to give an explanation to the people of this city today."

"What do you mean?"

"I've already spread the word about the bad effects of this peony. I'm sure the people of this city will soon surround your City Lord's Mansion, right?" Tantai Wuyue remained calm, as if he hadn't done anything about it.

Liu Wuchen hadn't expected Tan Tai Wu Yue to be so cruel. He shouted angrily, "Someone! Get him out!"

After Liu Wuchen said this, several wealthy families in the city looked at him as if he were a monster. Was he joking? Tan Tai Wu Yue was the crown prince.

However, no matter what the wealthy families thought, the guards outside ran in. But their faces were grim: "Your Highness... I, our brothers, don't know why we can't use our strength anymore."

"What did you say?" Liu Wuchen was really panicking. After all, he relied on the soldiers in the city. Every single person in the city was trained by him.
