The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Feng Ziqi's tone was so calm that Gusu felt like crying. Yes, there was no one named Situ Yaorao. The new emperor simply loved that woman named Situ Yaorao. He loved her so much that he was willing to give up everything for her. However, the new emperor had never considered whether there was someone who loved him as much as he loved Situ Yaorao.

Love is like a vicious circle, you will always chase the person in front of you.

As the sky darkened, Gusu stood beside the man, quietly gazing at his beautiful face, her heart still beating fast. No matter what, no matter who he loved, she wanted to be with him. For the rest of her life.

Situ Yaorao, holding the Ganoderma lucidum, walked out of the man's residence and walked aimlessly on the road. She originally wanted to go to the City Lord's Mansion to find Tan Tai Wu Yue, but somehow, she ended up at Xue Ming's temporary residence.

It was the perfect night, and Xue Ming sat in his room, fiddling with the incense burner. He had been waiting for Tan Tai Yun Yi to return from Qiu Shui Villa to confront him, but he hadn't expected Situ Yao Rao to walk through the door. He was startled. He stood up and looked at the woman, his eyes narrowed slightly. She was clutching a brocade box, looking distraught.

"It's you? Shouldn't you be with those people from Mingyue Country at this time? Why are you here with me?" Xue Ming looked at Situ Yaorao suspiciously.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao threw the brocade box to him and said, "This is Ganoderma lucidum."

Xue Ming was slightly surprised when he heard about the meat-like Ganoderma lucidum and hurriedly opened the box. After all, there were so many rumors about this meat-like Ganoderma lucidum. Then, after seeing the contents of the box, his eyes lit up. "I can't believe that the new emperor of Mingyue Kingdom would actually return the meat-like Ganoderma lucidum to you. You got what you wanted, and now you come to me. You don't have anywhere else to go, do you?"

Xue Ming might be eccentric, but he was certainly quite clever. Situ Yaorao had indeed found herself with nowhere else to go. She had originally intended to take the meat-like Ganoderma lucidum to find Tantai Wuyue. But for some reason, she didn't want to see him again tonight. Perhaps it was guilt towards Cang, or perhaps she just wanted some quiet time alone, but whatever it was, she didn't want to see him again.

"I've never met someone as strange as you. You came to Luocheng to cure Tantai Wuyue, but now that he's back to normal, you don't even want to see him? What are you thinking?" Xue Ming looked at Situ Yaorao and said as he examined the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand. Clearly, the Ganoderma lucidum was the thing that most attracted him at this moment.

"What are you thinking about? I don't know. I just want some peace and quiet. I don't want to see him. Maybe it's really strange, isn't it?" Situ Yaorao laughed at herself. Then she said, "I'll leave the Ganoderma lucidum with you for safekeeping. When I get the Seven Star Grass in the future, I'll go to the Snow Mountain to find you." Situ Yaorao said.

"Aren't you afraid that I will take your medicine? After all, this thing is a priceless treasure." Xue Ming said playfully.

Situ Yaorao stared at Xue Ming in a daze for a long while. When Xue Ming thought she was about to regret it, she said, "If I were afraid, I wouldn't have given you this Ganoderma Lucidum. If I were worried, I wouldn't have let you treat me in the first place. I can't toy with priceless treasures like you do. You are a doctor, and the medicine in your hands is only used to treat illnesses."

Xue Ming frowned at Situ Yaorao's words: "Has anyone ever told you that you're annoying?"

"Yes." Situ Yaorao said with a smile.

"I'll keep the Ganoderma Lucidum for you," Xue Ming said, throwing the box aside, his previous interest gone. Indeed, to him, no matter what kind of medicine it was, it was only used to treat illness.

"What's your relationship with Liu Wuchen?" Situ Yaorao found a seat and looked at the man. After a moment's hesitation, she spoke. Xue Ming couldn't help but smile. He sniffed the fragrance from the incense burner, closed his eyes, and opened them after a long pause. "I thought it would be Tan Tai Yun Yi who came to question me. But it makes no difference if you came."

"What do you mean?" Situ Yaorao frowned.

"That's just what I meant. If you were to say, Liu Wuchen and I are friends, wouldn't we? However, I don't want to deal with him. This time, it's because I owed him a favor. He asked me to go down the mountain to meet Tan Tai Yun Yi, and I wasn't happy about it. After all, I never go down the snowy mountains. However, what happens after I go down the mountain is up to me. I originally wanted to meet Tan Tai Yun Yi, have a fight, and then leave. But after learning about what happened in Luo City, I couldn't help but stay. I finally understand why he wanted me to go down the mountain. I'm afraid it was to lure you all to Qiu Shui Villa."

Xue Ming said calmly. Hearing this, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but glance at him again: "So, do you know what his purpose is? This person is too dangerous."

"Purpose?" Xue Ming thought about it and felt that he couldn't understand it. He and Xue Ming knew each other, but this acquaintance was only at the initial stage. The two of them were even just superficial brothers.

If I have to say it, it should be a conversation between a patient and a doctor.

"He's a vindictive man. If anyone hurts him, he'll retaliate. If Lan Lin Jiangshan hurts him, he'll probably destroy everything. Furthermore, he's incredibly lonely, so he always does things that are outrageous. However, in front of me, he's mostly just a patient."

"A patient?" Situ Yaorao's eyes flashed with a strange expression: "Is he sick?"

"Haha, he's sick in every way. But there's definitely something wrong with his body. He was poisoned by the same poison as you, but the difference is that when it came to choosing, he didn't choose to cure it, but to suppress it. At that time, I asked him curiously, and he just said that he wanted to keep the poison so that he wouldn't forget his hatred. He was a strange patient. I've never seen a patient I was willing to treat, nor have I seen a patient who could easily decide his own life or death. In his eyes, as long as he didn't die, then everything was fine. I always get paid for treating people. So, I used him for a year of experiments. When he left, I hoped he would never come to the snow mountain again. Because this person is really too terrifying."

Xue Ming said, even when he talked about this, he still felt a lingering fear. His face was very pale.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but nod her head. "What you said is really quite similar to Liu Wuchen. But, what does this have to do with you owing him a request?"

"I like plum blossoms, and he cured the disease of the plum tree on the snow mountain, so I owe him this favor. But if I knew that the price for this favor was that I had to go down the mountain, I would rather let the tree die." Xue Ming felt extremely regretful when he talked about this.

Situ Yaorao's mouth twitched when she heard this. This guy is simply the epitome of a homebody!
