The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

At this time, Situ Yaorao's expression finally returned to normal.

Situ Yaorao only felt that someone picked her up while she was in a daze. She struggled to open her eyes, and what caught her sight were those eyes as bright as gems.

Looking at him, she felt relieved: "Cang..." After calling his name, Situ Yaorao fell into a coma.

Feng Ziqi hugged Situ Yaorao, and his frown finally relaxed a little. The gradually restored warmth from the heroine's body made his heart feel at ease.

All the irritability in my heart over the past few days was calmed down at this moment.

"New Emperor, is Sister Situ sick?" Gusu couldn't help but ask again.

Feng Ziqi was in a rare good mood. He glanced at her and said, "People say that the moonlight is as cold as the moon and as frozen as ice. It sucks the life force out of people and eventually takes their lives. The poison she was infected with was the moonlight."

Yuehua! Gusu had heard of this poison before. It was the poison that had infected the previous Saint of Mingyue Nation. She betrayed Mingyue Nation and stole its secrets to another nation, ultimately being poisoned by Yuehua.

But even so, the Mingyue Kingdom did not let her go directly. They captured her and asked her to train the next Saint.

When she was very young, she often saw the Saint Maiden growing very old. At that time, she only thought she was a monster, but she didn't know that there was such a poison in the world.

"Is the new emperor going to take her back with him?" Gusu asked with some jealousy. Looking at Situ Yaorao lying unconscious in the man's arms, Gusu felt a hint of jealousy for the first time.

"I don't know yet." Feng Ziqi looked at the woman in his arms and hesitated. If it were according to his personality, he should take her back. But now, he couldn't help but want to listen to her own request.

If she didn't want to go back, he didn't want to force her.

Even though Feng Ziqi didn't know what she meant, Gusu immediately assumed that she was going to take her back, so she said, "If the new emperor wants to bring Sister Situ back to Mingyue Country, he'd better be careful. Aunt Ying won't allow it."

"Oh?" Feng Ziqi looked at Gusu with amusement. For the first time, there was a hint of strangeness in his bloodshot eyes. He carefully looked at the Holy Maiden of Mingyue Country who had escaped.

Seeing Feng Ziqi's expression, Gusu gritted her teeth and said with determination, "Gusu fled Mingyue Country largely because of Yinggu... The Divine Cult's wicked ambitions. If the new emperor wants to do anything, he must be careful. They will not allow him to fulfill his wishes." Gusu's words made Feng Ziqi smile. Glancing at her, she said, "Is this how you repay the Divine Cult for raising you?"

Gusu's expression darkened, and she felt aggrieved. She had clearly been trying to make the person in front of her more cautious, so why did he still speak to her in such a tone?

"New Emperor, Gusu feels sorry for Sister Situ, but she had no choice but to do this because of my father's illness. That's why Gusu doesn't want Sister Situ to be persecuted by the Divine Cult as soon as she enters Mingyue Country. That's why she said all this. If the New Emperor finds what Gusu said unreliable, then it's better to just pretend that she never said anything."

"I understand what you said. It is a good thing for me that you use her. Otherwise, how could I see her?" Feng Ziqi looked at the woman in his arms, and a trace of tenderness flashed across his bloodshot eyes.

Gusu looked at the man with a certain fascination. If one day, he could also look at her like this, how wonderful would that be?

It turns out that liking someone is really just a matter of a moment.

The words the goddess had asked her a few days ago had now come true. Gusu thought, perhaps she had fallen in love with the new emperor of Mingyue Country. Once her father's affairs were resolved, she would return to Mingyue Country.

Perhaps, I will bear some of the blame, but... I will also be much closer to him.

Thinking about it, Gusu made a decision in his heart.

Gusu and Feng Ziqi stayed here. Feng Ziqi looked at the woman in his arms, while Gusu secretly looked at Feng Ziqi.

About half an hour later, Situ Yaorao's long hair returned to normal, and she looked like herself as usual. She slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was Feng Ziqi again.

"You're awake?" Feng Ziqi was delighted to see Situ Yaorao wake up. But the next second, he felt his arms were empty.

Situ Yaorao woke up and found herself in the man's arms. She jumped out in fright. Looking at the man, she said, "Cang? Why are you here?"

"If I'm not here, won't you be locked up forever?" Feng Ziqi looked at Situ Yaorao indifferently, but the attachment in his eyes could not be erased no matter what.

"Thank you very much." Situ Yaorao was not surprised by this. When talking about the Lord, Situ Yaorao had a guess. After all, who in Mingyue Country could be more noble than Cang?

"It's okay. After all... I just want to take you away." Feng Ziqi said softly, his eyes fell on Situ Yaorao. Seeing that she didn't show any abnormality, he continued: "Your illness can't stay in Lanlin anymore. If you continue to stay here, you will really die. So, I must take you away."

"Before that, I will stay in Luocheng and watch the plague in the Jiangnan area be completely eradicated." Situ Yaorao looked at the man with a serious face.

"Okay." Feng Ziqi said without hesitation. Seeing him agree so readily, Situ Yaorao thought to herself, "Oh no!" She had originally wanted to use this as an excuse to get him to leave, but now it seemed like he was going to stay.

"Aren't you busy with the affairs of Mingyue Kingdom?" Situ Yaorao frowned.

Feng Ziqi just smiled and said, "Someone will do it for me. I just want to take you back."

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao had no choice but to nod stiffly.

Seeing her nod, Feng Ziqi's smile deepened. A hint of gentleness appeared in his bloodshot eyes. On the side, Gusu watched this scene and fell to his knees with a thud.

Situ Yaorao was startled by her: "Gusu? What are you doing?"

"Sister Situ, please forgive me." Gusu gritted his teeth and begged.

"Forgive me?" Situ Yaorao couldn't help but smile. This scene was all too familiar. Didn't Lian'er say the same thing back then? But a person's patience is limited. When betrayed repeatedly, they become indifferent.

"Gusu really had no choice but to do this. I locked up Sister Situ here only because of the threat from the goddess and my concern for father. If father didn't have the magic medicine from Mingyue Country, he would have died. Please don't blame me, Sister Situ." Gusu looked at Situ Yaorao and said, tears falling from her eyes.

But in his mind, he was thinking about how to go back with Feng Ziqi.

However, she forgot that not everyone could let go of past grudges. Situ Yaorao was usually very easy to talk to, but if someone betrayed her, it would be a lifelong matter.

Looking at Gusu, Situ Yaorao's eyes were filled with coldness. "Don't worry, I never blamed you. We just met by chance. Whatever you did to me is your own business. Why ask for my forgiveness?"

Situ Yaorao's words made Gusu's heart skip a beat. She stared at Situ Yaorao blankly: "But didn't you ask Gusu to call you sister before?"

"Oh. I was saying that to a poor woman, not to you in front of me." Situ Yaorao's attitude was indifferent.

"Sister, are you still unwilling to forgive me?" Gusu looked aggrieved.

"Sister?" Situ Yaorao's eyes flashed with mockery. "Please be careful with how you address me. I'm Lan Lin's Crown Princess. My sisters should be the concubines of the Crown Prince's Mansion, not you. If you call me sister, I'll be very distressed."

Situ Yaorao's words completely ended Gusu's desire to join her in Mingyue Country. Seeing Situ Yaorao's cold expression, Gusu felt a tinge of hatred in her heart...

Why? You have everything, yet you still want to go against me? I just want to enter the palace to see the new emperor, why are you trying to stop me! Thinking about this, Gusu calmed down.
