The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Seeing the woman's face turn slightly red, he stopped the bleeding. Similarly, he also remembered that year when he refused to beg him.

Everyone has their selfish moments, and he was no exception. That woman loved him, yet he wanted to completely sever ties with her. Back then, he'd thought that with Fupo around, nothing would happen to her. But he hadn't considered that Fupo wasn't a god, and there were bound to be things he couldn't do. So, when he learned of the woman's death, he felt a moment of regret.

However…if he were to choose again, he would probably still watch her die without helping her, right? After all, she wasn't worth everything he had to sacrifice. But the person before him was different.

For her words, he would do anything, provided that she belonged to him.

People are always like this. What they want, they can’t get, but what they don’t want is easily available.

In the morning, Situ Yaorao woke up and saw Tan Tai Yun Yi lighting a fire. For a moment, she felt like she had traveled through time again! For someone as detached from the mundane world as Tan Tai Yun Yi, lighting a fire once was normal, but the second time was a bit of a dream. Especially since he had gotten a pot from nowhere and was cooking?

After understanding the man's actions, Situ Yaorao felt unwell.

Situ Yaorao stood up and brushed off the leaves on her body. Her action attracted the man's attention. Tan Tai Yunyi looked at Situ Yaorao and smiled slightly: "If you don't eat in the morning, it will be bad for your stomach. It's better to eat before you set off." Tan Tai Yunyi said lightly.

"Aren't we in a hurry?" Situ Yaorao frowned slightly, but had already started helping him prepare food.

"Your illness doesn't suit you to irregular meals. Even if you're in a hurry, it shouldn't be this late." Tan Tai Yun Yi's words surprised Situ Yao Rao a little.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not asking Bupo, but... I once had a friend who was poisoned by this." Tantai Yunyi smiled faintly. Situ Yaorao suddenly realized, "Is this the person Bupo mentioned?"

"kindness."

"It seems like you care about her a lot."

"Yes, I cared a lot. But, I couldn't save her."

"This is incurable." Situ Yaorao said.

"What if there is a way? Would you leave Tan Tai Wu Yue in order to survive?" Tan Tai Yun Yi looked at Situ Yao Rao and asked. Situ Yao Rao's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she thought: Could it be that Tan Tai Yun Yi knew about Feng Zi Qi's visit to her?

Situ Yaorao's silence made Tantai Yunyi's heart clench. But more than that, he felt anticipation.

"No, if I can only survive by leaving him, I refuse." Situ Yaorao's face darkened. This answer was both expected and... unreasonable.

Tantai Yunyi forced a smile and said nothing more. After they had breakfast, they set off again.

Tan Tai Yun Yi drove the car all the way, and only when they reached a nearby town did they call for a driver.

"What kind of place is this?" Situ Yaorao looked out the car window at the lifeless town outside and became curious. After all, it was very close to the capital, and there were very few towns like this that were not deserted.

"Here? This is an abandoned town. The people living here are all undisciplined." Tan Tai Yun Yi explained.

"Huh?" Situ Yaorao was puzzled.

"This is a town abandoned by Lanlin. I don't know the reason. It's just... it has been like this for a long time. Abandoned by Lanlin and within the territory of Lanlin, naturally no one wants to develop here." Tantai Yunyi said.

So that’s it?

Situ Yaorao watched the people walking away from the carriage, feeling a little emotional. If one day, Tan Tai Wu Yue was abandoned by Lan Lin, it would be a devastating blow to him, right?

He was born in Lanlin. If he left Lanlin... Situ Yaorao didn't dare to think about it. For some reason, she didn't want that situation to happen.

And in his heart, he became more and more anxious. He really couldn't reach Los Angeles immediately.

When people are anxious, time often passes very slowly. Just three days can feel like years.

Under the scorching sun, shadows overlapped in the breeze, and larks sang from the trees. A long queue, like a dragon, formed in front of the gate of Luocheng.

Above the city gate, there was a notice. Anyone entering the city had to remember the person on the notice before entering. Anyone who found the person on the notice would be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.

Ten miles outside the city gate, a carriage was parked. Situ Yaorao held a notice with a gloomy expression, as if she could see through it and tear off the owner of the notice.

On the side, Tan Tai Yun Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at!" Situ Yaorao glared at the man fiercely.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Yunyi couldn't help but laugh, "No...nothing. I just didn't expect the people in the capital to care so much about you. You've only been away for three days, and they've already posted notices here."

"No need to think about it, this must be the masterpiece of the Queen." Situ Yaorao's face was dark. Looking at the words written on it that the Crown Princess abandoned the Crown Prince and fled, she felt sick all over.

What if...what if Tan Tai Wu Yue sees this notice now? What should I do?

"Well! Okay, as for the notice, once we find the prince and solve the plague in the south, everything will be fine after we return to Beijing. The most important thing now is how to sneak into Luocheng." When Tan Tai Yunyi talked about this, the smile disappeared from his face.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao also became serious: "Is he really in the city?"

"The spies reported that when they went looking for the prince with his portrait, everyone witnessed him entering the City Lord's Mansion. So, he's probably already there."

"City Lord's Mansion?"

"That's right." Tan Tai Yun Yi's face looked a little strange when he talked about this. "Luo City is different now. The City Lord has long since died of illness. Now living in the City Lord's Mansion are a group of people of unknown origin. The city residents call them God Sons and Goddesses. Their greatest skill is that they can cure the plague. However... they can't cure everyone, only select a few. But even so, in a place where the plague is spreading and people can die at any time, they are still treated like gods. And the one who brought the prince into the City Lord's Mansion is the goddess they call."

"Oh! What Son of God and Goddess? They are nothing but people with some medical skills who want to use the masses to achieve their own secrets." Situ Yaorao sneered.

"You're right, but to the residents of Luo City, they are gods. If they want to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion, it will be a bit troublesome. But what I'm most worried about is not this." Tan Tai Yunyi frowned.

"What else?" Situ Yaorao asked puzzledly.

"I'm worried they know the Crown Prince's identity and want to use him. No one can contact him right now, so I'm not sure what's going on. Anyway, the Son of God and the Goddess are all very peculiar, so be careful," Tan Tai Yun Yi sighed. This incident was the most unexpected one he had faced since his collaboration with the Crown Prince.

And the reason... was probably the sudden accident of the prince.

The most fundamental reason was the previous incident with the Lord of Liucheng. His father had always been thinking about his son, who was stranded abroad, and the Crown Prince had done the most inappropriate thing, leading to the current situation.

Thinking this, Tantai Yunyi glanced at Situ Yaorao for a second. They say beauty brings disaster, and perhaps it's true. At least... the Crown Prince and he had both fallen for it.

Situ Yaorao changed into men's clothes, added a few black moles to her face, and thickened her eyebrows before heading towards the city. However, when she saw the long queue, Situ Yaorao was shocked...
