The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Qian Shui'er heard this, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she pulled out the hairpin and stabbed the man's shoulder. The sharp pain in his shoulder dissipated his originally concentrated energy. The pain was gone.

My mind once again returned to that empty state with nothing in it.

Tantai Wuyue's eyes were lifeless. Qianshui'er saw this and thought to herself, as expected... He almost remembered something just now, but it was too painful to hold back.

Since it’s so hard, wouldn’t it be better not to think about it?

Thinking of this, Qian Shui'er couldn't help but laugh.

Looking at Tan Tai Wu Yue who had regained consciousness, he said softly, "Master Wu Yue, with all due respect, your brain must have been hit by something before. If you try to recall anything, it will be extremely painful, so it's best not to act rashly. As for your identity, I will find out as soon as possible. I will help you."

Upon hearing this, Tantai Wuyue looked deeply at Qianshui'er, feeling strange in her heart, but nodded: "Thank you, young lady."

The sky gradually darkened. Situ Yaorao looked at the scenery outside the carriage, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes. As long as she went south, she would be able to find him soon, right?

"You seem very happy?" Seeing Situ Yaorao looking out at the scenery with great interest, Tantai Yunyi couldn't help but be curious. Situ Yaorao smiled when she heard this: "Of course I am happy. We will find him soon."

Unexpectedly, Situ Yaorao was so optimistic. Tan Tai Yunyi was speechless for a moment. He looked at her and thought for a while before saying, "Um... Actually, there's a question I haven't told you."

"Huh?" Situ Yaorao looked at him in confusion.

"When the prince disappeared, the last time he contacted the secret guards was near Luocheng, but it has been a while, so we can't be sure he is in Luocheng. Moreover, he was seriously injured before that, and now his life or death is uncertain. If he is still alive, then everything will be fine. But, if he really is... you must be mentally prepared. By then, your identity as the crown princess will be in jeopardy because of your trip south. Even, some people with ulterior motives will use you to make a fuss and put the blame for the prince's death on you." Tan Tai Yunyi explained the dangers that Situ Yaorao will soon face.

Situ Yaorao was silent for a moment after hearing this, then said, "I believe him. He will survive no matter what. If he is truly unfortunate... then I won't have to wait for those hypocritical fellows to convict me. I will go down and accompany him first. If that happens, the Situ family will be in your hands."

"Please ask me for your help?" Tantai Yunyi couldn't help but smile, his smile was elegant and graceful: "You know, if you ask me for your help, I will charge you a lot."

"If that day really comes, my restaurant will be yours." Situ Yaorao looked serious, but Tan Tai Yunyi remained silent.

"Why aren't you talking?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man in confusion.

"Do you really like him that much? So much so that you're willing to give up everything for him?" Tantai Yunyi felt a pang of pain in his heart. Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao gave a bitter smile, "Yes, I do. So, everything I do is for him, for the Situ family."

"Your restaurant may be very tempting to others, but to me, it is not something I would want to visit."

"what do you want?"

"What I want most no longer belongs to me." Tan Tai Yun Yi said.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao wisely shut up.

Luocheng wasn't too far from the capital, and it would take about three days to reach them. However, while Situ Yaorao and Tantai Yunyi felt time was passing quickly on their journey, in the capital, the days felt like years. It was for no other reason than a major event in the capital: the Crown Princess had escaped!

On the day Situ Yaorao left, she was discovered. In the palace, the Queen ordered her arrest, saying that she had eloped with someone. There was evidence before, but Situ Yaorao had just made excuses to get away with it.

The Empress issued a decree that the Crown Princess had escaped the capital, and the news spread like wildfire. The entire Lanlin region was on the lookout for Situ Yaorao. Of course, this was something Situ Yaorao and Tantai Yunyi hadn't anticipated.

Tan Tai Yun Yi knew that he would not get any good results in the capital, but he did not expect that the Queen hated Situ Yaorao so much that she would kill her immediately if she got any evidence against her!

Of course, this is all in the past.

In the capital, the Crown Prince disappeared, the Crown Princess fled, and almost all the bad news came from the Crown Prince's residence. The Sixth Prince's faction was at its peak.

Late at night, in the mountains, a torch was lit near an old tree. A woman sat by the fire, listening to the howling of wolves in the mountains and swatting mosquitoes that flew over. She felt a little sad in her heart. It was really hard to sleep in the wild!

"Eat?" Just as Situ Yaorao was sitting there roasting by the fire, Tan Tai Yunyi had already roasted the wild rabbit meat and brought it to Situ Yaorao's mouth.

Situ Yaorao took the rabbit meat and said, "Thank you."

"As a woman, it's my duty to take care of you when you're away from home. You don't need to thank me. Besides, this is also my mistake. I miscalculated the time, which led to us having to live in this forest." Tan Tai Yun Yi said somewhat embarrassedly.

Because so many things have happened recently, he was so careless that he forgot that it was Situ Yaorao who went out with him, and planned to travel overnight!

However, once they were in the car, it was too late to change their route. In order to secretly reach Los Angeles, he had bribed the checkpoints to get through, all of which had time limits, so they had to arrive in time. This also resulted in them having to spend the night in this desolate wilderness.

"I don't know how he is doing now." Situ Yaorao sighed.

"He's always been blessed with good fortune, so nothing will happen to him. Just rest assured. However, we should think about how to prevent the plague when we get to the south. Also, how to help solve the plague. After we find the prince, we must solve the plague problem before returning. Otherwise, even if we return to the capital, we'll just end up in another place."

"Do you have a good idea?" Situ Yaorao asked curiously.

"If I had it, I wouldn't be so distressed." Tan Tai Yun Yi sighed.

"What's the point of thinking about these things now?" Situ Yaorao closed her eyes slightly.

"We should think ahead. Only then can we avoid being too hasty." Tan Tai Yun Yi said calmly, but he had already made a decision in his heart. With Tan Tai Yun Yi, if he was only 80% sure of something, he wouldn't say it. Unless he was 100% sure.

"I can't even save myself, let alone save others. So, don't ask me. I just want to find him." Situ Yaorao's voice was low.

Hearing her words, Tan Tai Yun Yi could not help but say helplessly: "In that case, you should go inside the car and rest first. I will guard outside."

"Let's go together." Situ Yaorao looked at Tan Tai Yun Yi and yawned. Although she was sleepy, her mind told her that she must not leave Tan Tai Yun Yi alone.

This is so unfair!

Seeing her like this, Tantai Yunyi's smile deepened: "I am fine, you should go in and rest."

In the end, Situ Yaorao resisted her sleepiness and stayed outside with Tantai Yunyi. This wasn't the first time she'd endured hardship, so she was used to it.

Late at night, Tantai Yunyi looked at Situ Yaorao, who was sleeping against a tree, a doting look in his eyes. If possible, he would always protect her like this. No matter how difficult the road ahead, as long as she was willing to hide behind him, he would shield her from all the storms.

The dagger cut his finger, and Tan Tai Yun Yi quietly sent the blood into Situ Yao Rao's mouth...
