The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"Are you awake?" Tan Tai Yun Yi looked at Situ Yao Rao and said lightly.

"You carried me to the bed?" Situ Yaorao asked softly, looking at the man. Tan Tai Yun Yi didn't deny it. "If you lay on the ground, you'd catch a cold. The Moonlight Poison fears nothing more than coldness. If you don't wear enough, it will only make the symptoms worse," Tan Tai Yun Yi said.

"How do you know?" Situ Yaorao asked suspiciously.

Tan Tai Yun Yi paused at this. Then, as if remembering something, he laughed, "Because there was once a woman who was poisoned in the same way as you. However, she didn't have your good luck."

"Good luck?" Situ Yaorao was puzzled.

"It's nothing, you should have a good rest."

"Why are you here?" Situ Yaorao looked at Tan Tai Yun Yi and couldn't help asking. Tan Tai Yun Yi felt a little emotional when he heard this. Why did you come here?

This is a long story.

After hearing Bupo's story, he had been troubled. Later, when he met Situ Yaorao, he felt even more depressed. It wasn't until today's incident that he finally made up his mind to talk it over with Situ Yaorao. But he never dreamed that Tantai Wuyue would leave the whole mess to him.

Then, he'd been busy until now. He'd finally stabilized the situation and prevented a riot in Xunyang City. After accomplishing all of this, Tantai Yunyi had just come to see Situ Yaorao.

But who would have thought? As soon as he came in, he saw Situ Yaorao lying on the ground, her frail face truly distressing. Moreover, that scene was too familiar. And then he saved her!

"I came here because I have something to ask you." Tan Tai Yun Yi looked at Situ Yao Rao and said lightly.

"You say." Situ Yaorao was alert.

"You and I know each other, right?" Tan Tai Yun Yi looked at Situ Yao Rao with burning eyes.

"Of course, who in this world doesn't know Prince Yun Yi?" Situ Yaorao asked with a smile. Tan Tai Yun Yi shook his head: "That's not what I'm talking about. We knew each other before I lost my memory, right?"

"What does your Majesty mean by this?"

"Nothing, just someone told me about the Forgetfulness Pill."

Damn! Who is this, courting death? Situ Yaorao secretly hated her, but remained expressionless: "So, why did the prince tell me all this?"

"Miss Situ, I like you, right?" Tantai Yunyi looked a little helpless when he said this, which made Situ Yaorao's heart soften.

She couldn't find the strength to say anything because she was thinking of how Tan Tai Yun Yi collapsed in front of her in despair and woke up without remembering anything.

So, Situ Yaorao fell silent.

Seeing her silence, Tan Tai Yun Yi said, "Since you are silent, it means this is true. I really have had such a rebellious idea." Tan Tai Yun Yi seemed a little dejected.

"You...that."

"You don't have to say anything more. Everything was my own choice. However, I also feel that I was confused. I actually used such a method. Now my memory is incomplete, and my heart is always in turmoil. Only when I am in front of you, I feel that I can feel more stable. Sometimes, I feel that I am incomplete." Tan Tai Yun Yi seemed really annoyed. Seeing him like this, Situ Yao Rao could no longer hold back and said, "You... are not."

"Not what?"

"It's not your fault. If there really is a fault, it might be my fault. I watched you lose your memory, but I could do nothing." Situ Yaorao lowered her head, not daring to look at Tan Tai Yunyi.

"Perhaps, this is fate. I used to not believe in it, but now I choose to do so. In this world, there is karma and reincarnation. I was dismissive of her feelings back then, and now, this is retribution. I came to you today just hoping... that you can help me restore my memory. I don't want to live an incomplete life. Even if it hurts after I recover, I can pretend that we never met."

Tantai Yunyi looked sad.

Situ Yaorao's last bit of hesitation disappeared because of his appearance.

She looked at him and said, "Okay, although I don't know how I can help you recover your memory. But, I agree."

Seeing Situ Yaorao agree, Tantai Wuyue was extremely satisfied. However, his expression remained melancholic. "Perhaps, if we just go to some of the places we've been to before and talk about some of the things we've said before, I'll remember them. When I saw you with the Moonlight Poison attack before, I felt a sense of familiarity."

"Really?" Situ Yaorao was surprised, but she had to admit that Dan Tai Wu Yue had seen her sick more than once, and every time, he was the one who stayed with her and helped her recover to normal.

It is precisely because of these things that Situ Yaorao has always been very grateful to Tan Tai Yunyi.

"Maybe it's true." Tan Tai Yun Yi said uncertainly.

"Then let's try again after we return to the capital."

"Okay. It's a deal." Tantai Yunyi smiled beautifully. Situ Yaorao looked at him and couldn't help but said impulsively: "You look better when you smile."

Tan Tai Yun Yi was stunned for a moment, and then his smile deepened.

After Tan Tai Yun Yi left, Situ Yao Rao began to feel conflicted. If she helped Tan Tai Yun Yi, what would she do if he truly recovered his memory? Situ Yao Rao didn't know, but she couldn't refuse Tan Tai Wu Yue's request to recover his memory.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to return to the capital. Situ Yaorao felt incredibly depressed. The thought of returning to the capital and having to live under the Situ family's machinations again made her feel breathless.

However, no matter how much she didn't want to go back, she couldn't escape her responsibilities. Madam Situ had given her time to come to Xunyang City, which was already very difficult.

The letter from Situ Yaorao about to go back had already reached the Situ family.

One day, Situ Yaorao's carriage stopped in front of the Situ family's gate. Everyone in the Situ family actually came out to greet her. This was truly remarkable. You know, apart from Madam Situ, few people in the Situ family welcomed her.

Situ Yaorao got off the carriage. Having eaten the peony these days, she looked much more energetic. Her appearance was also becoming more exquisite. She looked like a real fairy.

The fiery red was eye-catching, yet it made people unable to look away. Even Situ Honglei, who looked as beautiful as a lotus, could not compare to it.

"Dad, Mom." Situ Yaorao got off the carriage and called respectfully.

General Situ was very pleased with Situ Yaorao's recent good behavior. Furthermore, since she was about to marry the Crown Prince and become his consort, he naturally couldn't be too harsh.

With the change of imperial power, he himself did not know what the Situ family would become in the future. Therefore, he had to make preparations for both scenarios. So he said, "You've had a hard time on the way. Go back and rest. In three days, it will be your wedding day. Don't go out for these three days to avoid any accidents."

"Yes." Situ Yaorao was indeed not planning to go out for the next three days.

Getting married... Such a big thing, no matter how calm she was, she still became nervous.

This was her first time getting married in her two lifetimes. And, the person she married was someone she loved.

Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but blush.

Mrs. Situ helped Situ Yaorao back to the yard.

After entering the small building, Lian'er said happily: "Miss, you are finally back. I missed you so much." Lian'er looked at Situ Yaorao and said enthusiastically.

Situ Yaorao couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "You are such a talker."

"Lian'er, please go down first. Yaorao and I have something to talk about." Madam Situ ordered Lian'er to go down. Then she looked at her daughter with a little heartache: "How have you been these days?"

"Not bad." Situ Yaorao lowered her eyes.

"Something happened in Xunyang City, and I couldn't help but worry. Did you get hurt in the riot in Xunyang City?" Mrs. Situ continued to ask.

Situ Yaorao heard this and shook her head: "No."

"Prince, even if you want to capture the Lord of Xunyang City, you should at least consider that you are still in Xunyang City. What if you get injured?" Mrs. Situ complained.

Situ Yaorao couldn't help but feel sorry for the prince: "Mother... everything he did this time was all for his daughter."

"Hmm?" Madam Situ asked in confusion. You know, the Crown Prince had taken Xunyang City, and the Emperor was furious. When General Situ returned, he scolded the Crown Prince for being so stupid. How could there be a hidden story?
