The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"This... even the capital isn't this busy, is it?" Situ Yaorao looked at the crowd. She was afraid the line would last until evening.

"Today seems to be the day when the Son of God and the Goddess come to save people. These people come here because of your reputation. Do you know how many refugees there are in the south?" Tan Tai Yunyi asked, sitting in the carriage and looking at Situ Yaorao beside him.

"I don't know."

"Over nine million, and that's just a conservative estimate. These people have been afflicted by the plague. In this situation, if there's someone who can cure it, don't you think it'll make people impulsive? These people are all coming for that glimmer of hope." Tan Tai Yun Yi said, shaking his head. "In my opinion, I'm afraid the Son of God and the Goddess don't have any real cure. What they do have are probably some alternative medicines that can cure these people's illnesses, but they can't be widely circulated. Hence the current situation. Those two frauds, I will never forgive them once I enter Luo City!"

Tantai Yunyi's tone was cold.

Situ Yaorao rarely saw him so angry.

However, it was understandable. Looking at the people queuing up and the pained expressions on their faces, Situ Yaorao's heart also became angry. What kind of son of God or goddess? It would be better to kill them.

After waiting in line for about three hours, Situ Yaorao and Tantai Yunyi were finally allowed into Luocheng. Upon arriving, they were stunned. Luocheng was utterly packed, with inns and restaurants tightly shut. The streets and alleys were filled with seriously ill people lying in wait, awaiting help.

"How despicable!" Tantai Yunyi watched, his rage rising to the sky. He could watch the Liucheng City Lord harming others, but he couldn't bear to see these seriously ill people being deceived.

The Lord of Liucheng City certainly harmed people, but at least he didn't torture them. This son of God and daughter of Goddess, while claiming to be saving people, actually pushed them into an abyss from which there was no escape.

These people could have lived a little longer, but because of the Son of God and the Goddess, they all came here. They have been exhausted from all the traveling, and I'm afraid they won't be able to return to their own places alive!

"Calm down! Let's find a place to stay first. If we really want to save them, we should find Tan Tai Wu Yue first, and then we can find a way." Situ Yaorao said hurriedly when she saw Tan Tai Yun Yi's expression. Hearing this, Tan Tai Yun Yi suppressed his anger and dragged Situ Yaorao to the residence he had previously arranged in the city. It was a small farmyard. Inside, a masked man in black was kneeling, waiting for Tan Tai Yun Yi to enter.

"How is it? Is there any news from the prince?" Tan Tai Yun Yi looked at the man in black and asked.

The man in black was embarrassed for a moment after hearing this, and then he said, "To answer your question, Your Highness, I have it. But..."

"But what? If you have something to say, just say it. The person next to me is the Crown Princess." Tan Tai Yun Yi said calmly, signaling the man in black not to hide anything. However, the man in black hesitated even more.

I don’t want to say it because the Crown Princess is here!

However, military orders cannot be disobeyed. The man in black thought for a moment before saying, "It seems His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is getting married."

Silence, deathly silence.

Situ Yaorao felt as if she was hallucinating. Not only her, but even Tantai Yunyi was completely stunned. It was as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, the man in black continued, "I found out that the Crown Prince was taken to the City Lord's Mansion by the Goddess. Since then, due to the tight security of the City Lord's Mansion, I have never been able to find out what happened. Today, the Goddess appeared to treat a patient and announced her intention to marry the Crown Prince." As the man in black finished speaking, Tan Tai Yun Yi frowned: "Did the Crown Prince take the wrong medicine?"

"This... subordinate doesn't know."

"Is it his idea to marry the goddess?" The one who asked the question was Situ Yaorao. Her tone was indifferent, and there was only calmness in her beautiful eyes.

"She should be. After all, the goddess announced that she would be marrying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If His Royal Highness hadn't told her, the goddess wouldn't have known His Royal Highness's identity."

When the man in black said this, he was scared to death.

"Yao Rao, don't be impulsive. There must be a misunderstanding. We will have to wait until we enter the City Lord's Mansion and meet others to know the reason." Tan Tai Yun Yi looked at Situ Yao Rao with a cold face and said hurriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm not impulsive. I'm just a little curious... what he is thinking." Situ Yaorao said and laughed, but this smile looked particularly lonely no matter how you looked at it.

Tan Tai Yun Yi looked at her, secretly cursing Tan Tai Wu Yue for his deception. It was already this late, and he was actually still planning to get married? He was joking! If this got out to the palace, who knows what a joke it would be.

However, no matter how he cursed in his heart, Tan Tai Wu Yue was unaware of it.

"You go and find a way to let me and the Crown Princess sneak into the City Lord's Mansion. The affair between the Crown Prince and the Goddess must not happen no matter what. Otherwise, if the news gets to the palace, the Crown Prince will be dead! Instead of dealing with the plague, he comes here to get married..." Tan Tai Yun Yi felt his teeth ache.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." The man in black also had a bitter face. You know, getting into the City Lord's Mansion is extremely difficult. But in the current situation, if he dared to hesitate for a moment, the prince would definitely kill him.

After the black-clad man retreated, Tan Tai Yun Yi looked at Situ Yao Rao and sighed, "Let's rest first. At least we should believe that he's not a reckless person. As the crown prince, he would never abandon his subjects to marry some damn goddess."

"Perhaps, perhaps, no one has ever understood him." Situ Yaorao's smile was somewhat cold, and Tantai Yunyi was helpless. After all, this matter was too sudden.

On this side, Situ Yaorao, who had just arrived in Luo City, was caught off guard by the news of the prince's marriage. Similarly, in the capital, after receiving the news at full speed, the Sixth Prince found it unscientific.

Holding the message delivered by carrier pigeon, the Sixth Prince stood by the window, his hand gripping the hilt of his sword, his brow furrowed. For the first time, a strange expression appeared on his handsome and resolute face.

"Sixth brother, what happened?" Seeing the Sixth Prince's expression, the Ninth Prince, who was coming to the Sixth Prince's Mansion to discuss something, was also curious.

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince glanced at the Ninth Prince and threw the note in his hand to him. The Ninth Prince looked over suspiciously and spat out a mouthful of tea without swallowing it.

Sitting across from him, Tan Tai Wu Shang opened his folding fan to block the spray of tea, his brows slightly furrowed. "What does this mean?"

"Ah! I'm so excited." The Ninth Prince looked at Tan Tai Wu Shang awkwardly, then handed him the note with a strange look on his face. Tan Tai Wu Shang looked over suspiciously, his mouth twitching: "Did the prince not take the medicine? Or did he take too much?"

Tan Tai Wushang's question was too sharp, and for a moment, the three of them were silent.

After a long pause, the Ninth Prince muttered, "I think the Crown Prince is mad at his Crown Princess. He's out there fighting the plague, his life or death uncertain, and the Crown Princess fled first. No wonder he wants to remarry."

"Nonsense." The Sixth Prince frowned, glanced at the Ninth Prince, and said, "Dan Tai Wu Yue is not stupid. The plague is raging right now, and he was sent by the Emperor to deal with it, but he has never been seen. Now there is news that he is going to get married. If this news reaches the Emperor, I am afraid he will be dead. There must be something strange going on."

"Isn't that perfect? ​​Sixth brother, in my opinion, we have all endured for so long, it's time to take action and accomplish something big. The prince is seeking his own death, this is our chance, why don't we go to the palace to meet father now?" The Ninth Prince said excitedly.

On the side, Tan Tai Wu Shang raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. "No, the truth of this matter is still uncertain. If we really want to see Father, we must at least have tangible evidence. I think someone should go to Naluo City and take a look at the situation."

"Tsk!" The Ninth Prince curled his lips in disapproval.
