The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"It's been a while. Even though you've forgotten who you are, your calculating nature remains the same." A sigh echoed from the darkness. Tantai Wuyue frowned upon hearing this, his sharp eyes sweeping across the direction of the voice. He asked coldly, "Who is it?"

As he finished speaking, a man in a red fox ball slowly walked out. The man's face was indifferent, and he looked at him with a compassionate expression, as if he was very pitiful. Tantai Wuyue hated such a look and turned away and said, "Don't look at me like that."

"Oh? Not bad, you still know you're the crown prince." Xue Ming walked up to the man with interest, then turned to Tan Tai Yun Yi, who was still in the dark, and said, "Why are you still hiding? Are you afraid of seeing people?"

After these words, Tan Tai Yun Yi, who had been hiding in the shadows, reluctantly emerged. He had originally intended to use Xue Ming to test whether Tan Tai Wu Yue had truly lost his memory. After all, this man was capable of anything, so it was highly likely that he was feigning amnesia.

And he had been deceived by Tan Tai Wu Yue more than once.

"Royal brother." Tan Tai Yun Yi called respectfully.

"Royal brother?" Tan Tai Wu Yue looked at Tan Tai Yun Yi suspiciously: "Who are you?"

"I'm Tan Tai Yun Yi, don't you remember me?" Tan Tai Yun Yi asked. Tan Tai Wu Yue felt a headache upon hearing this and shook his head, saying, "I don't remember. I seem to have had headaches lately, and they always come for no apparent reason. The same thing happened when I saw you." Tan Tai Wu Yue said truthfully. Xue Ming, who was standing nearby, heard this and his eyes flashed.

He grabbed Tantai Wuyue's arm and said, "Don't resist," as he tried to resist. His words seemed to have a magical power, making people obey him involuntarily. Tantai Wuyue remained silent. His brows furrowed, and he wondered who these two people were.

One claimed to be his brother, and this one... was a psychopath. However, neither of them seemed to have any ill intentions, and the girl who came last time was with this brother.

As the crown prince, he must have had a few confidants before he lost his memory. The one who came to him first without harming him, and even came a second time, was probably one of his confidants. The woman he brought last time must have been closely related to him, and this person now, could he be a doctor?

Tantai Wuyue had already fully understood the identities of the two men, and his vigilance towards Tantai Yunyi had eased. Now that he couldn't remember anything, the only thing he could do was to let things take their course, as long as his own life was safe. If things returned to normal, that was his luck; if anything unexpected happened, it was his fate.

Thinking in his heart, Tan Tai Wu Yue had already made up his mind about the path he wanted to take.

Yet, her face still showed a confused expression. It was as if she had no thoughts at all. Not only Xue Ming, but even Tan Tai Yun Yi had never seen such a well-behaved Tan Tai Wu Yue.

Letting go of his hand, Xue Ming frowned: "There's some trouble."

"What do you mean?" Tan Tai Yun Yi asked hurriedly.

"If he just lost his memory because of the bruise caused by falling on his head, it would be easy to deal with. Just one injection would ensure that he would be back to normal. But he was probably poisoned at the time, and the poison entered his brain and confused his memory. In addition, he hit his head, so he can't remember anything. And he gets a headache when he sees someone he used to be familiar with, because the poison is pressing on his nerves. In this case, no matter whether it is acupuncture or anything else, it will be very troublesome." Xue Ming said lightly.

Xue Ming spoke in a serious tone, as if returning to normal. Tan Tai Yun Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "If you say so, there will always be a solution."

"Solve it?" Xue Ming smiled, a strange smile: "There are rules for asking me for help, you won't forget this, right?" Xue Ming's words made Tan Tai Yun Yi want to slap him back.

"what do you want?"

"I haven't decided yet, but since I'm in a good mood today, I'll help you out." Xue Ming then took out a packet of medicine. "His amnesia can only be temporarily treated with medication. Also, he needs to be stimulated by someone familiar frequently, and it's best if there's no external force during this time. If that's possible, he'll be almost fully recovered in just half a month. Of course, this requires that the person he's familiar with holds a very important place in his heart."

Xue Ming's words made Tan Tai Yun Yi breathe a sigh of relief. Although this was troublesome, as long as the problem could be solved, it wasn't a problem. He had brought Situ Yaorao all the way here from the capital, and he hadn't even considered it a problem. How could he not endure this for just half a month?

Thinking about this, Tantai Yunyi bowed to Xueming: "Thank you very much."

Xue Ming was startled by Tan Tai Yun Yi. In his impression, Tan Tai Yun Yi was always aloof and arrogant. Although he spoke softly and pleasantly, his attitude was always tough. Getting him to bow was truly not easy.

"If you were willing to put aside your pride, perhaps I would have saved that woman." Xue Ming said lightly.

"Let's not talk about what happened in the past. It's better to live in the present."

"Haha, you're right. It's better to live in the present moment. It's just that... you are even more pitiful now." Xue Ming said, looking at Tan Tai Wu Yue: "I know you have been listening the whole time. Isn't it time for me to give me an answer now?"

"What do you want?" Tan Tai Wu Yue asked calmly.

"It's nothing, I just want you to agree to one condition of mine. A condition that will not threaten the country and your life." Xue Ming smiled like a fox.

He seemed very easy to talk to at this moment, but Tan Tai Wu Yue had a feeling in his heart that as long as he refused Xue Ming's request, Xue Ming would definitely not help him and let him remember everything.

So Tantai Wuyue nodded: "I agree."

Seeing that Tan Tai Wu Yue agreed, Xue Ming's smile deepened. "If that's the case, then this matter is settled. It's been two days since I came down from the snowy mountains. I should be back in half a month. There shouldn't be any major problems. However, no matter what happens after half a month, I will return. So, to avoid any accidents, Tan Tai Wu Yue, you will be the one to control the goddess."

"Control?" Tan Tai Wu Yue frowned.

"Yes, beauty can mislead people. With your looks, you should have made that goddess fall in love with you, right?" Xue Ming mocked.

On the side, Tan Tai Yun Yi almost laughed out loud when he heard this. Tan Tai Wu Yue's face darkened, and after a moment, he said, "I understand. I will cooperate with you for the next two weeks."

"Very good, then let's talk about another deal." Xue Ming said.

"What deal?" Tantai Wuyue asked. She felt a little wary of Xue Ming, feeling for some reason that he had no good intentions.

"The reason why you were injured is because you had to deal with the plague. Now the plague is spreading. Although the goddess of the City Lord's Mansion can diagnose and treat people, it is just like a stream flowing into the sea, not worth mentioning. I can help you, but you have to show your sincerity." Xue Ming tempted.

Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Wu Yue was slightly moved.

"How about it?"

"What are the conditions?" There's no such thing as a free lunch, especially when offered by someone with such a fickle temperament. Tantai Wuyue was already extremely wary.

He even glanced at Tan Tai Yun Yi. If something really went wrong, he, as a brother, would probably help him. After all, people on the same boat must advance and retreat together.

"It's not a big deal, actually. I just want to ask the Crown Prince's wife to go to the Snow Mountain. If you agree, I will help you. If you don't agree, then you can do whatever you want."
