The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"Well, the spies reported that Lao Jiu and Tan Tai Wu Shang have both disappeared in Luo City. As expected, they went to Qiu Shui Villa for some reason. If I don't go, I'm afraid Tan Tai Wu Yue will be in danger. He came to Jiangnan because of my stubborn behavior, so I have to save him." Tan Tai Wu Yue said.

Situ Yaorao fell silent upon hearing this. Tantai Wuyue had done all that in Liucheng that day for her, so she was also responsible for it all.

"Then let's go quickly." Situ Yaorao did not stop the man again, but got on the carriage with him quickly.

Qiushui Villa was located ten miles outside of Luocheng, but no one knew its exact location. The driver only knew the basics and promised to take them to the small road below Qiushui Villa, but left them alone, as if the owner of Qiushui Villa was a cannibal.

This also made Situ Yaorao even more curious. Who was the owner of Qiushui Villa who could scare so many people? About an hour later, Situ Yaorao and Tantai Wuyue were released.

There are peach blossoms planted on all sides here, and the fragrance of peach blossoms is overwhelming.

People don't want to leave after watching it.

"These are all plum blossoms in bloom," Situ Yaorao said in surprise. The most striking characteristic of this flower is its unique fragrance, which lingers for a long time.

These flowers are like that.

Compared with ordinary plum blossoms, their fragrance is stronger.

"Let's go up the mountain." After seeing these plum blossoms blooming nine times, Tan Tai Wu Yue was determined to ask the owner of Qiu Shui Villa for help. If he refused, he would kill him to take the plum blossoms away. For the people of Luocheng and for the woman beside him, he had to do this.

Thinking of this, Tan Tai Wu Yue tightened his grip on Situ Yaorao's wrist.

Following the plum blossom path, Situ Yaorao and Tan Tai Wu Yue finally arrived at the gate of Qiu Shui Villa. There was a stone tablet in front of the gate, and on the stone tablet was written: Qiu Shui Villa, there are no flowers in the villa.

These eight words seemed to be a cover-up. However, they were also the owner's warning to them that even if they entered, they would not receive any flowers.

"The owner of Qiushui Villa is quite strange. Since he has flowers, why is he unwilling to save people? He even values ​​these flowers more than his own life."

"There are always people like this. Everyone has their own persistence." Tantai Wuyue didn't find it strange. After all, he was used to seeing all kinds of strange people. As a prince, there are always some capable people around him. Generally, those who are truly talented have some strange flaws. Those who can tolerate these flaws are willing to work for you.

He'd seen border guardsmen who refused to marry, keeping only a strange black cat as their companion, masters of poison. He'd seen young women slash their faces daily, threatening to kill anyone who suggested marrying them. He'd seen men who wouldn't cry out even when poisoned, but... when someone touched the handkerchief hidden by his side, he'd give up everything and humbly plead.

Everyone has their own obsessions, and the reason for those obsessions must be because there are some secrets behind them. This Qiushui Villa probably has its own secrets.

Tantai Wuyue walked in front and pushed open the gate of Qiushui Villa. Inside the gate, eighteen women came into view. Seeing someone coming in, the women all bowed and said, "Dear guests, the host has been waiting for a long time."

"This..." The style of the painting is different! Situ Yaorao looked at the eighteen beauties. She thought there would be eighteen bronze men to stop them, but in the end, eighteen beauties came to greet them? This is really weird.

"Did your master tell you anything?" Tan Tai Wu Yue looked at these people and asked calmly.

"The master only told us and others to wait here. Whenever someone comes, please come in as a guest. Other than that, there are no other instructions." said the leading woman.

"That's quite interesting." Situ Yaorao looked at Tantai Wuyue. "People say it's hardest to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman. Could it be that the owner of this manor wants to use a beautiful woman to replace the plum blossom?"

"He must have other plans." Tan Tai Wu Yue's expression was not very good. If the owner of Qiu Shui Villa was very tough from the beginning, he would have some confidence in his heart, but this confusing attitude really made him feel embarrassed.

The two men followed the women to the lobby. Inside, they only saw Tan Tai Wu Shang and the Ninth Prince, and even Tan Tai Yun Yi was there. They were also surprised when they saw Situ Yao Rao and Tan Tai Wu Yue.

The Ninth Prince was the first to speak. He looked at the crowd and shouted, "Brother Crown Prince, why are you still with this woman? She previously ran away from the palace and was secretly meeting men in the capital. The Queen Mother has already ordered her to be captured and executed."

The Ninth Prince's words made everyone present, who were already feeling a little embarrassed, even more embarrassed.

Off to the side, Tan Tai Wu Shang simply turned his head away, too lazy to watch. It was obvious that Situ Yaorao was here to find the Crown Prince. How could the Crown Prince actually believe that Situ Yaorao had escaped?

As expected, Tantai Wuyue just smiled and said, "The Queen Mother is condemning her without knowing the truth because there are villains causing trouble. Why are you also starting to do so?"

"I!"

"Alright, I'll forgive you this time. Ninth brother, you better be careful with your words in the future. The Crown Princess came to Luocheng to look for me. If it weren't for her, I might not even be able to come to Qiushui Villa. Speaking of which... I wonder why you and Old Nine are here, Wushang? If I remember correctly, you two should be in the capital, right?"

"I've run into some issues with my business here, so I asked the Emperor for permission to go south. Old Nine was bored in the capital alone, so he pestered me to come along. As for Qiushui Villa, we heard about the plum blossoms blooming nine times. The Empress Dowager is very interested in them, so she asked us to bring back more and transplant them in large numbers."

Tan Tai Wu Shang was very clever. Before Tan Tai Wu Yue could even finish her words, he had already finished speaking. Tan Tai Wu Yue was doing this for the people, while Tan Tai Wu Shang was doing this for the Queen Mother.

Even if Tan Tai Wu Shang succeeded and Tan Tai Wu Yue went to complain, the emperor would still have to consider the Queen Mother's feelings. Tan Tai Wu Shang's words basically put him in an invincible position.

Tantai Wuyue looked at him deeply and said, "So that's how it is. We're here because of the plum blossoms. These plum blossoms are used as medicine to cure the plague in the south. If we can take away a large number of them, it will definitely save the people."

"Is this true? That's great! The people are saved." Tan Tai Wu Shang was excited, then said with embarrassment, "It's a pity... The Queen Mother ordered us to do this, so we can't help the Crown Prince."

"It's alright, it all depends on your ability. You and I are both here for official business." Tan Tai Wu Yue's attitude was very calm, without a trace of anger. This made Tan Tai Wu Shang, who had originally wanted to make him angry, feel a little defeated.

But at least he got the right to compete for the ninth goal.

On the side, the Ninth Prince listened to the two people talking, and suddenly remembered what the Sixth Brother said. Perhaps the Third Brother really had ulterior motives. How could such a smart person be willing to assist the Third Brother wholeheartedly?
