The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"Sometimes I'm really curious about who you are. How can you do anything?" Qian Shui'er looked at Liu Wuchen with a complicated expression. Not long ago, Liu Wuchen had promised her to marry the Crown Prince. She had expected many twists and turns. Unexpectedly, a single imperial decree sealed the deal. And the most terrifying thing was that the Emperor didn't doubt Liu Wuchen's words at all. It was as if everything he said was trustworthy. This was truly bizarre.

This man is too mysterious. He has countless secrets that are hard to figure out.

"I'm just a poor abandoned person." Liu Wuchen's voice was very soft.

"If you were pitiful, then everyone in this world would be pitiful. Liu Wuchen, why do you do all this?" Qian Shui'er couldn't help but ask. Liu Wuchen thought for a moment and smiled, "Perhaps, it's to stop myself from hating. I like a more chaotic situation. What do you think would happen if the Crown Prince and his wife, who are deeply in love, met a woman who could carry on the Crown Prince's family line?"

After Liu Wuchen finished speaking, he gave her a packet of medicine.

"what is this?"

"It's something that can make things more fun. Just let the prince take it on the day of your wedding." When Liu Wuchen talked about this, his eyes were full of anticipation.

Qian Shui'er frowned. She didn't want to accept this thing, but she had no choice because Liu Wuchen had already helped her so much. If she didn't accept it, Liu Wuchen would not help her when she needed him again in the future.

Thinking about it, Qian Shui'er accepted the medicine: "Although I don't know what you want to do, as long as I can get what I want, it's enough. No matter what, I have to thank you for this. If it weren't for you, I would never have married him."

"It's enough to just hope that you won't hate me in the future." Liu Wuchen said casually with a faint look in his eyes.

"This is the path I've chosen. As long as no one interferes, I won't regret it." Qian Shui'er's eyes were blazing. Hearing this, Liu Wuchen pressed the mask back onto her face. "Then, happy cooperation."

In the capital, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles.

The news that Tan Tai Wu Yue was going to marry Concubine Ping had spread throughout the capital early in the morning.

Tan Tai Wu Yue himself was sent to Liucheng to focus on the reconstruction of Liucheng.

"Miss, I see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ran away because he was afraid of seeing you." Lian'er said as she tied up Situ Yaorao's hair in front of the dressing table.

Situ Yaorao just smiled when she heard this: "If even you can guess it, then that's not what he would do. Although I don't know what he went to Liucheng for, but it's definitely not to avoid me."

"Miss, you're only concerned with speaking well of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness is already planning to marry that princess, and you're not angry at all. The women in the backyard are about to explode."

"No matter how hard he tries, I will remain unmoved." Situ Yaorao finished speaking and said, "Lian'er, come with me to Lan Qinglou later."

"Yes," Lian'er said, rolling her eyes. She then ran to get a men's suit and helped Situ Yaorao put it on. "I don't know what you are thinking, young lady. It's already this late, and you still want to run to Lan Qinglou. I think if you keep going like this, you might even lose the position of Crown Princess."

"As long as the Crown Prince is not Tan Tai Wu Yue, I have no business who gets the position of Crown Princess." Situ Yaorao yawned, picked up the folding fan beside the table, and opened it with a flick of his hand. He looked quite a gentleman.

He has thick eyebrows, dark eyes, and a fair complexion that doesn't look feminine.

"Lian'er, your makeup skills are getting better and better." Situ Yaorao looked at herself in the mirror and praised. Lian'er heard this and twitched her lips: "Miss, you still have time to tease me."

"Haha, let's go." At this time, Situ Yaorao had forgotten all the previous bad things. After all, instead of worrying about things that have already become a foregone conclusion, it is better to work hard for things that have not happened yet.

Yesterday's Queen had said a lot of nonsense, but one sentence had struck a chord with Situ Yaorao. Tantai Wuyue had been married to her for so long, and she still hadn't gotten pregnant. But the truth was, it wasn't that she didn't want to, it was that she couldn't. Even now, she hadn't slept with him. Who would believe that?

Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao's eyes became determined. No matter what, she would survive and bear children for him. They would grow old together. Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao felt motivated.

However, just as she stepped out of the door, she saw a group of women staggering in. They were all dressed in plain clothes. Leading the way was Mu Lingwan. They entered the courtyard and knelt on the ground. This scene startled Situ Yaorao. Looking at these people, she frowned, "Concubine Mu, what's going on?"

The word "Concubine Mu" disgusted Mu Lingwan in her heart, but she looked sad. "Sister, these sisters have come here to complain because they heard that the emperor wants the crown prince to marry a princess. We have always had a crown princess in our mansion, and now we have a concubine. How are we sisters going to survive? The restrictions in this mansion are probably more terrible than the prison."

"Oh? Sister, have you been to the Heavenly Prison?" Situ Yaorao asked with a smile. Mu Lingwan was immediately stuck. Some of the women behind her wanted to laugh but dared not.

"Sister, as the Crown Princess, you must maintain your dignity when the Crown Prince marries Concubine Ping. If Concubine Ping enters the Crown Prince's residence, where will your dignity be?"

Mu Lingwan gritted her teeth and continued.

Situ Yaorao felt tired after listening to this, so she said, "The emperor personally issued an imperial decree, and you want me to stop it? Are you trying to encourage me to disobey the decree? This will cost me my head. Concubine Mu, grow up a little and don't cause trouble for the prince. And you, why are you so gullible? You just do what others say? Go back to your own courtyards. If I see anyone talking about this matter again, you will all get out of the prince's mansion. Lian'er, let's go." After Situ Yaorao finished speaking, she walked around the group of women and left the courtyard.

Mu Lingwan's expression changed again and again, becoming extremely ugly.

"Sister Mu, I don't think the Crown Princess cares at all about that princess becoming Consort Ping. Why should we continue to make trouble?" A woman behind Mu Lingwan said cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingwan's eyes became fierce and she slapped her in the face: "What do you know, you bitch? If we let Concubine Ping enter the Crown Prince's Mansion, we will have no good life. In the future, who will you listen to between the Crown Princess and Concubine Ping? If you listen to one, you will offend the other, and if you listen to the other, you will offend the one. By then, even if you have a thousand mouths, you will not be able to escape unscathed. Think about what to do. I get angry when I see you useless people!" After Mu Lingwan finished speaking, she turned away.

The concubines present were left staring at each other in bewilderment. One of the timid concubines actually burst into tears, lamenting her miserable fate.

Mu Lingwan, who hadn't walked far yet, nearly bit her teeth when she heard this. A miserable life? Ridiculous! She hadn't even complained yet! She had been married to the prince for many years and had worked diligently, but she was only a concubine. The princess had to be of noble status and could assist the prince. Although she had been working hard, she was helpless because of her humble status. She was kicked out just because of this humble status. She watched as the prince's mansion that she had managed for many years became someone else's! The prince loved the princess and turned a blind eye to the concubines in the mansion. Everyone was the same. Gradually, she began to regain power. The princess didn't seem to be interested in power either. Apart from the fact that she took the prince away, Mu Lingwan didn't have much dissatisfaction with Situ Yaorao. But who would have thought that before the situation was stabilized, a princess from the Wu Kingdom came and became Concubine Ping.

Even if the Crown Prince married a concubine, shouldn't she, Mu Lingwan, be the best choice? Her status, and that was a ridiculous one! Because of her status, she couldn't be the Crown Princess, and because of her status, she couldn't even be the Crown Princess. She could only be a concubine, surviving in the cracks. Just wait for the Wu Kingdom princess to marry, and everything would be over. Thinking of this, Mu Lingwan felt unwilling. How much better it would be if they were all dead?

This thought took root in Mu Lingwan's mind...
