The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Without waiting for Situ Yaorao to reply, Tantai Yunyi rejected her suggestion and looked at Xueming coldly, "Xueming, what do you mean? I should have told you her identity, yet you actually wanted to take her to the snowy mountains? Do you know that this is a grave sin?"

"I can wait until she is able to go up the snow mountain, and then let her go up. However, if this request cannot be fulfilled, I will not treat this disease. In this world, no one except me, Xue Ming, can cure her. If the Crown Prince really wants to see a dead Crown Princess and does not want his Crown Princess to stay in the snow mountain for a while, then that is her fate." Xue Ming's attitude was casual. After saying this, he looked at Situ Yaorao and said, "I wonder what the Crown Princess means."

"Okay, but I'll decide the time. Also, give me a reason." Situ Yaorao agreed and said to Xue Ming.

Xue Ming smiled upon hearing this. "Reason? If I have to give a reason, it's probably because I like you. I'm in need of a medicine boy, and letting the Crown Princess be my medicine boy for three years is a good price to pay. Isn't it? If people want to survive, they have to pay various prices. This world lacks fairness, so I will seek fairness for you."

Xue Ming's words made Tan Tai Yun Yi feel a sharp pain in his teeth. "You are just trying to justify your rudeness by saying this."

"But the owner has already agreed to my request, hasn't he?" Xue Ming said lightly.

"Yao Rao, you go out first. I have something to say to him." Tan Tai Yun Yi said in a gentle voice, his face gloomy. Situ Yao Rao nodded and said to Tan Tai Yun Yi before leaving, "Don't always believe what you think, and don't believe what others see. Sometimes, people are very simple. It all depends on whether you understand." After that, Situ Yao Rao walked out.

Xue Ming's expression changed slightly, while Tan Tai Yun Yi ignored Situ Yao Rao's persuasion and looked at the man coldly. He drew his sword and said, "I told you, if you go too far, I will make you know the price. She is the Crown Princess, living a life of luxury. How could she go to the snowy mountains? If she did go, and word got out, I'm afraid the rumors would crush her when she returned. You claim to be saving people, but you're actually harming them in a different way. Xue Ming, you don't deserve to be a doctor."

"A doctor?" Xue Ming laughed sarcastically, looking at Tan Tai Yun Yi and asking, "When you heard about my medical skills, you flocked to the Snow Mountain. Some offered bribes, some threatened with troops, and some even lured me with beauty. All kinds of people came, sparing me the tranquility of the Snow Mountain. But at that time, did anyone ever ask me if I was a doctor? Doctors treat people, but I am not a doctor. It was you who acted on your own initiative and forced me to come here."

Xue Ming's tone was cold, and Tan Tai Yun Yi fell silent upon hearing it.

Seeing that he remained silent, Xue Ming continued, "Although the price I demand is high, it's within their reach. It's just that in the eyes of some people, that price is far more important than their own lives. But they forget that nothing in this world can compare to life. If they don't understand the preciousness of life, then why bother saving it? They've long since decided that their own lives are worthless and can be used as a measure of worth. So, saving them would be a waste of effort."

Tantai Yunyi had never spoken to Xueming before. The last time they met, he had only asked for his help. Having been rejected, he had never gone to the Snow Mountain again. However, before leaving, Xueming had said that if he could think things through, they could be friends.

But that was just Xue Ming's assumption. As a prince, he allowed Tan Tai Wu Yue to use him and collaborate with him, but only because Tan Tai Wu Yue had shown him a brighter future for Lan Lin. Only Tan Tai Wu Yue could achieve what he longed for. Apart from that, no one else could force him to do anything.

If Tan Tai Wu Yue is eccentric and difficult to get along with, then Tan Tai Yun Yi is the solitary cloud in the sky. He appears warm and inviting, yet he can be incredibly distant. If you can't capture his heart, he'll just look down on others.

"You have said so much to me, just hoping that I will agree to let her go up the mountain, but it is impossible. Xue Ming, the last time I asked you for help, you refused. I don't care. If you dare to do it this time, I will kill you today. A miracle doctor who is not useful to me is the same as having no one." After Tan Tai Yunyi finished speaking, he moved the sword in his hand, and a blood mark appeared on the man's neck.

Xue Ming simply looked at Tan Tai Yun Yi calmly, not moving an inch even as blood streamed from his neck. His eyes were filled with mockery. "All of this is just your own thinking. Just like that time, the patient you brought to my snowy mountain didn't want to live anymore, but you insisted on keeping her alive. That person was beyond saving, yet you tried every possible means to save her. Now, the woman outside the door is desperately trying to survive, but you're blocking her at every turn. Tan Tai Yun Yi, everyone says you're gentle and a modest gentleman, but in my opinion, you're just a fool who doesn't understand human nature. Take that scrap metal away from me. It's annoying just to look at it." Xue Ming's tone was filled with disgust. With that, he grabbed Tan Tai Yun Yi's sword with his bare hands, snatched it away, and tossed it aside.

Tan Tai Yun Yi fell into silence because of his words.

Back then, everyone thought he was a fool, watching someone who loved him die. But even Bupo didn't know that he had taken her to the top of the snowy mountain, giving up his dignity and begging Xue Ming desperately, just to save her.

Back then, Xue Ming was still normal, and he proposed a solution. Soon, he became this strange person, making all sorts of unreasonable demands. He agreed, but she disagreed and chose to die.

At that time, Xue Ming had said that if he could think clearly, he and Xue Ming would be friends. But now it seemed that he didn't think the way Xue Ming thought.

"If anything happens to her, I won't let you go." Tan Tai Yun Yi looked at Xue Ming coldly. In the end, he did not choose to insist on his opinion, but walked out.

"Remember to call her in. Patients should always actively accept treatment." Xue Ming leaned back on his brocade couch and said calmly. Hearing this, Tan Tai Yun Yi gave him a deep look and said, "Sometimes it's really hard to figure out which one is the real you."

"Then why haven't you thought about both of them being me?" Xue Ming asked back.

"If that's the case, then you're not far from being a true lunatic." Tan Tai Yun Yi said this and walked out of the room. Outside, Situ Yaorao was standing nearby. In the night, the woman looked so ethereal, as if she would leave him at any moment. Tan Tai Yun Yi watched and couldn't help but take a step forward.

Situ Yaorao turned around when she heard the voice and asked, "Are you done talking?"

"He asked you to go in. If there is any danger, remember to stop in time. This person is not very reliable now. If something happens to you, I will not be able to explain to the prince." Tan Tai Yun Yi said.

Seeing him say this, Situ Yaorao smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you."

"Thank you for what?" Tantai Yunyi asked. Situ Yaorao shook her head, but inwardly she sighed. "Thank you for not making things difficult for me."

If it were the usual Tan Tai Yun Yi, he would have already rejected this ridiculous deal. But he didn't stop it. That's why I wanted to thank him.

Looking at him now, Situ Yaorao almost forgot what the aloof Tan Tai Yunyi looked like back then.

When Situ Yaorao walked into the room, she saw the man sitting on a brocade couch, holding an oil lamp in his hand. He was holding a dagger in his right hand and heating it over the lamp, as if he was disinfecting it.

On the brocade couch, there was a long knife, gauze, scissors, and some strong liquor. These things placed there made the whole room look a little eerie...
