The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Suppressing the urge to confront him, she looked at the man and explained, "I was bored alone in the house, so I went out for a walk." Then, she touched his face and whispered, "Actually... you should ask me, and I'll answer as long as you ask."

"But is your answer to me necessarily true?"

The man's voice was still so gentle. After hearing it, Situ Yaorao felt a pang of pity in her heart...

"If you want to leave, it's up to you. Just leave with me when the appointed time comes."

"Of course I won't betray the agreement we made, but don't spoil me too much. Ask me appropriately occasionally. At least, we have already agreed to give each other time, right? It's not a good attitude for you to let me go like this." Situ Yaorao said half-jokingly.

Hearing this, Feng Ziqi looked at her deeply, a smile stained his red eyes, and he said gently: "Okay, I'll listen to you. What do you want to eat?"

"I want to go out for dinner. Will you accompany me?" Situ Yaorao looked at Feng Ziqi and asked softly. Feng Ziqi hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay."

After saying that, he said to the guards in the yard: "I have to go out for something, and you are not allowed to follow me. If I find anyone following me, I will kill them without mercy." After saying that, he pulled Situ Yaorao out together.

Not long after Feng Ziqi and Situ Yaorao left, Ying Gu came out of the room, seemingly having finished her work. She asked the guards, "Where is the new emperor? Why are you the only ones here?"

"When the new emperor and Crown Princess Lan Lin go out, no one is allowed to follow them." The black-clad guard answered truthfully.

"What are you talking about? How could you let the new emperor go out alone? Luocheng is in such chaos right now... What if something happens to the new emperor?" The speaker was Gusu, who had just walked out of the room. She glanced anxiously at Aunt Ying and said, "Aunt Ying, quickly send someone to look for him. What should we do if something happens to the new emperor?"

"Don't worry. The person who can kill the new emperor has not been born yet. But why did you come out when you have nothing to do?" Ying Gu looked at Gusu with dissatisfaction.

"I...I want to meet the new emperor."

Seeing Gusu like this, Yinggu sighed, "I know you have the new emperor in your heart, but don't forget what you should do most right now. The new emperor's heart is with that Situ Yaorao. If you want to win him back, it will take time. Let's wait until we return to Mingyue Kingdom."

"Yes, Miss Ying." Gusu bowed her head and said respectfully, but deep down, she secretly decided that no matter what, she would make the new emperor fall in love with her, even more than he loved Situ Yaorao.

Situ Yaorao likes shopping because there is no pressure or conspiracy on the street. However, there is not even a place to eat on this street.

The streets of Los Angeles were desolate. A city with no place to eat, no place to stay, only countless dead bodies and countless people waiting to die.

Looking at this street, Situ Yaorao's already depressed mood became even more depressed.

"Is all this because of the plague?" Situ Yaorao lowered her voice with a hint of sadness.

"People are like this. To survive, they'll do anything. Just like these people, they came to Los Angeles desperately to survive, but Los Angeles destroyed their hope. They kept praying that they would be the next person to be rescued, but nothing happened. In the end, many people died in their own despair. Sometimes, saving a life is a greater sin than killing. Because without hope, there will be no pain."

Feng Ziqi said, looking at those who were alive but lifeless, "That God Son and Goddess are really interesting. They understand human nature so well, and they exploit it so well. In the end, they destroyed this city of Luo."

"What on earth are they planning to do?" Situ Yaorao's fury was already rising. Thinking of Liu Wuchen, she couldn't help but think of Liucheng. This man always caused widespread slaughter, and wherever he went, he always brought untold sorrow and bloodshed. And the terrifying thing was, you never knew what he was planning to do until the very end.

"Maybe it's just a hobby. Now there's nowhere to eat, where should we go?" Feng Ziqi asked, holding Situ Yaorao's hand. Situ Yaorao thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you to see the flowers." She then pulled him to the peach blossom forest. The fragrance filled his nose, and Feng Ziqi frowned slightly: "Nine blossoms of plum blossoms?"

"You actually knew that?" Situ Yaorao was slightly surprised.

The man smiled upon hearing this: "This flower originally came from Mingyue Country, so how could I not know about it?"

"Oh?" Situ Yaorao's eyes were tinged with a hint of darkness. She looked at the man and said, "Let me dance for you."

"Okay. This is the first time I've heard you say you'd dance for me." The man's tone was soft as he sat down beneath one of the plum trees. Looking at Situ Yaorao, she took out the mask Tan Tai Yun Yi had given her and put it on her face. Her footsteps landed lightly on the fallen plum blossoms, each one precise and beautiful. Petals fell, swirling around her, as if reluctant to leave her side. The woman stood in the center of the petals, dancing briskly like a fairy.

Feng Ziqi just looked at her as she walked towards him step by step.

Situ Yaorao plucked a petal and handed it to the man, bringing it to his lips. Feng Ziqi looked at her, then at the flower, before finally opening his red lips and swallowing the petal.

He looked at her with a smile on his face. There was no trace of dissatisfaction or doubt in his red eyes. Seeing him like this, Situ Yaorao felt a flicker of guilt in her heart, but it was only for a moment.

Soon, the dance was over, and Situ Yaorao landed in front of him: "How was it? Did it look good?"

"Of course you are beautiful. There is no one in this world who is more beautiful than you." Feng Ziqi's voice was pleasant, and when it reached Situ Yaorao's ears, she couldn't help but blush, and her guilt deepened.

"Are you tired? If you are, just rest here for a while. You can go back later." Feng Ziqi looked at Situ Yaorao and said.

"How do you know I don't want to go back?" Situ Yaorao asked curiously. Feng Ziqi laughed and said, "When those people spy on others, they make them feel like they are in a cage. How could I not know that?"

"You...how have you been doing since you left me?" Situ Yaorao looked at Feng Ziqi, and for the first time, she became curious about him. He had always appeared before her, strong and beautiful, even when injured, mysterious. Therefore, she had never been curious about this man. Because he always seemed so superior.

But she forgot that he was also a human being, a normal person.
