The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Situ Yaorao just felt like laughing. Seeing the woman's aggressive attitude, she actually laughed, a mocking laugh. He squinted at her and said, "What's going on between me and your new emperor? This is a matter between us. Who are you to interfere? Besides... he's willing to die for me. Do I really think I should stop him?"

"you!"

"What? This is the last time. If you dare to question me again, don't blame me for being rude. I don't care who you are. In Lanlin, you are nothing." Situ Yaorao said coldly.

"She is nothing. When she arrives in Mingyue Country, you, the Crown Princess Lanlin, are nothing either." As she spoke, a woman walked in from outside.

"Aunt Ying!" Gusu stood up in surprise. She looked at the woman who slowly walked in from the doorway and bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Aunt Ying." Upon hearing this, Yinggu glanced at Gusu calmly and nodded with satisfaction. "You still remember the etiquette of the past. It's not easy." After saying this, she looked at Situ Yaorao and said, "I don't know what it is about you that has attracted the new emperor, but I want to remind you that you may have the status of Crown Princess in Lanlin, but in Mingyue Country, you are nothing! You'd better curb your arrogance when you return to Mingyue Country. Otherwise... I'm afraid you won't be able to survive in Mingyue Country."

Yinggu's words were full of threats.

Situ Yaorao looked at Ying Gu with great interest, blew on her dust-free nails, and spoke slowly, "Ying Gu, what you said is true. I am the Crown Princess of Lanlin. Before leaving Lanlin, I was very arrogant. But Ying Gu, have you forgotten? When I went to Mingyue Country, I was a guest invited by Feng Ziqi. If you want to touch me, I'm afraid you still need his permission."

"Don't use the new emperor to pressure me." Ying Gu looked at Situ Yaorao with disdain. Looking at Situ Yaorao's charming appearance, she felt hateful to death.

Ever since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has always mentioned this woman, and the Divine Cult has paid a huge price for this woman. If possible, she would want to kill her now!

"I was just telling the truth." Situ Yaorao didn't bother to pay attention to the two of them. She had no intention of going to Mingyue Country in the first place, and now she just wanted to stabilize Feng Ziqi first, so she didn't leave. If possible, she wanted to leave now!

"Hmph! You really don't know what's good for you. Since you didn't listen to my advice, don't blame me for not reminding you if anything happens in the future. Gusu, come with me. You don't have to serve this woman." Aunt Ying said coldly.

"But..." Gusu hesitated. After all, it was the new emperor who asked her to serve Situ Yaorao. What if Situ Yaorao told the new emperor about this?

"I asked you to come with me." Ying Gu looked at Gu Su dissatisfiedly and pulled her away.

After the two men left, Situ Yaorao frowned slightly and sighed softly. "The tree wishes for stillness, but the wind does not stop." Perhaps this is what it means, right? She had never considered going to Mingyue Country, nor had she ever coveted Feng Ziqi. Yet, there were always those who wanted to use their own assumptions to speculate everything. However... to say she had no desire for anything was a bit wrong.

She still wanted the so-called life-saving miracle medicine, as well as the Ganoderma lucidum that Feng Ziqi had put away after he brought it back.

Thinking of the Ganoderma Lucidum, Situ Yaorao's eyes turned cold. Now that Xue Ming was treating her, if she could obtain the Ganoderma Lucidum and find the Seven Star Grass, everything would be solved. The Moonlight Poison that had tormented her for so long would be completely cured. So, no matter what, she had to get her hands on the Ganoderma Lucidum.

Thinking about this, Situ Yaorao straightened her clothes and walked out slowly.

After going out, he saw several black-clad guards standing in the courtyard. Feng Ziqi was not outside. Seeing this, Situ Yaorao found a guard and asked, "Where is your master?"

"The master has something to do today and has to go out temporarily. Before leaving, he told you that if you have anything to ask, just tell Miss Ying." The man in black said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Gusu and that Yinggu were not worried at all about being discovered by Feng Ziqi and went to warn her. It turned out that Feng Ziqi was not there.

"I understand. I will go back to my room to rest first. Remember, no one is allowed to enter my room." Situ Yaorao ordered the man in black.

She didn't have to worry about these men in black being disobedient. The people Feng Ziqi brought with him were divided into two types. One type was the people around Ying Gu, who behaved strangely and always hid in the dark, doing some shameful things.

The others were the guards in the open. These people were under Feng Ziqi's command. Since Feng Ziqi was confident in keeping her, Ying Gu and Gusu under the same roof, he must have made preparations.

So after giving the order, Situ Yaorao calmly returned to her room.

At the window of another room in the courtyard, Gusu, dressed in elegant clothes, bit her sleeve, her eyes filled with anger. "Look at her, Miss Ying, she's already giving orders to our people in Mingyue Country. I'm afraid she'll cause even more trouble when she goes to Mingyue Country in the future."

Ying Gu laughed at Gusu's words: "Humph! She has a good idea, but people like that usually don't end up well. If she wants to show off her power in Mingyue Country, she must first be able to reach Mingyue Country alive."

"What does Aunt Ying mean?" A hint of joy flashed across Gusu's eyes, but her face was still well-behaved, as if she was worried about the Divine Cult.

Aunt Ying pinched the window wood and said coldly, "The leader has ordered that this woman is not allowed to enter the Mingyue Kingdom."

"In that case, why did you go and warn her today, aunt? Wouldn't that alert the enemy? If she complains to the new emperor when he returns in the evening, wouldn't that ruin everything?" Gusu frowned and said repeatedly.

Ying Gu couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Haha, you are still too naive, girl. It is precisely because of the leader's order that I have to warn that woman. Once she complains to the new emperor, the new emperor will relax his guard against us."

"Why...?" Gusu asked, puzzled. She had always disliked these political schemes, so even though she was a goddess, she knew nothing about them. Even the abduction of Situ Yaorao this time was the idea of ​​that goddess. For a moment, Gusu was completely bewildered by Yinggu's actions.

"Gusu, you must know that not everything in this world is as it seems. Take, for example, the sacred beasts of my Holy Religion: snakes, though often frightening, are not venomous. Yet, those incredibly beautiful, tiny, seemingly harmless snakes can be deadly with just a bite. The prettier, the more venomous; the uglier, the safer. Or, like a family's dog, the one that barks the loudest often doesn't dare to bite, but... the one that never barks can suddenly bite you. We are that dog, that snake, to the new emperor. If we remain silent, the new emperor will only grow more wary of us. But if we bark our fangs and claws, the new emperor will think we are nothing to fear, believing that only the weak constantly issue warnings. The strong simply present the facts."

Yinggu's words made Gusu feel cold in her heart.

Seeing that Gusu seemed a little strange, Ying Gu asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I just think you know a lot, Miss Ying. Unlike me, I don't know anything. Even if I go back and become a saint, will it really be useful?"

"The Saint doesn't need to understand all that. As long as you're alive, you'll be the best helper of the Divine Religion. And now, the Religious Leader has other ideas about you. The new emperor doesn't listen to us, but if the Saint of the Divine Religion marries the new emperor, I believe the new emperor will always believe us. Of course, if you can win his heart, the Divine Religion won't have to walk on thin ice like it is now." Ying Gu said, handing Gusu a small bottle.
