The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"I don't know why, but every time I see the Crown Princess, you always look like you're frowning. It seems like I'm the only one who can solve your problems every time." Liu Wuchen looked at Situ Yaorao and smiled brightly.

He was already handsome, and now with his smile, he was even more charming. Unfortunately, Situ Yaorao looked at him with only vigilance in her eyes: "What do you want to do?" Situ Yaorao asked.

The man's face turned sad when he heard this: "Ah! I thought you would be happy when I invited Xue Ming here. Who knew you would frown like this? It really makes me sad."

"Are you so kind?" Situ Yaorao said disdainfully.

"I'm indeed not that kind-hearted, so I just came here with Xue Ming. As for why he is here? It's probably because I told Xue Ming that you should have got the Seven-Star Grass." After saying that, he looked at Xue Ming.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao also looked at Xue Ming.

Xue Ming looked at her and said, "I told you before that I would detoxify you. And you...you also have to go to the Snow Mountain with me. Now, I have decided how long you will stay there."

"how long?"

"A lifetime." Xue Ming said.

Situ Yaorao's face darkened when she heard this: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, I will save you. After you say goodbye to Tan Tai Wu Yue, I will take you away. I will treat you on the way, but at the same time, you have to stay in the snow mountain." Xue Ming said.

"Is there no time to leave?" Situ Yaorao frowned.

"Yes, when Tan Tai Wu Yue gave up his kingdom and came to find you, that was the time for you to leave." Xue Ming said.

Situ Yaorao frowned even more tightly when she heard this.

"If you don't agree, I won't save you anymore. Life always comes at a price, doesn't it?" Xue Ming repeated the same old story. Situ Yaorao sighed after hearing this and said, "I understand. Let me say goodbye to him when he comes back."

Is it really possible for a man to give up everything when he becomes emperor? Situ Yaorao didn't believe it. If he really left, it would probably be for the rest of his life. Even now, Tan Tai Wu Yue loved her more, but when he became emperor, the burden would be heavy. He would gradually care more about his subjects and the vast Lanlin Dynasty. Gradually, he would no longer have time to visit her.

Time is the most terrible thing in this world. It will make a person gradually forget about love.

When Tantai Wuyue was too busy to care about anyone else, perhaps he would forget about her? Thinking of this, a hint of darkness flashed across Situ Yaorao's eyes.

Situ Yaorao sat like this until the evening. She kept thinking, maybe this is retribution?

She had always been aloof and arrogant, never caring about what others thought, always doing what she wanted. Even when she fell in love with someone, she was fearless and bullied them. But now, she was facing the fate of being forgotten by him.

After finishing her work, Tantai Wuyue returned to the Prince's Mansion. Thinking of her absence during the day, she went to Situ Yaorao's place. Seeing her sitting in the room with a frown on her face, she said, "I'm sorry, Yaorao. I was really too anxious during the day."

Situ Yaorao heard this, looked at him and smiled: "Nothing."

"Believe me, soon we won't have to worry about anything anymore. When that time comes, I will be with you, growing old together." Tan Tai Wu Yue promised. Situ Yaorao's eyes flashed: "Perhaps, growing old together is just a luxury. What if one day, I stay in one place and never return to the capital, just waiting for you to find me? But you are already the emperor of Lan Lin, what will you do?"

Situ Yaorao looked at the man and asked.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Wuyue was stunned. He had never considered this question before. Because he had never considered it possible.

"Answer my question." Situ Yaorao frowned.

"I will probably go find you. And then I will no longer be the emperor of Lanlin." Tantai Wuyue said firmly. Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao smiled brightly, and her bright and beautiful appearance caught the man's eyes.

"Remember what you said."

"Okay." Tan Tai Wu Yue smiled gently.

Situ Yaorao's long hair was loose as she looked at the man lying beside her, still fully clothed, and a hint of anticipation rose in her heart. As long as he went to find her, they could become a real couple.

I just hope she won't forget her.

As the crown prince, Tantai Wuyue had always wanted to have his way. Although he wasn't free, he never lacked anything. And he had freedom. Situ Yaorao was his freedom.

But he forgot that free birds will always fly away.

So, the next morning, looking at the empty bed and her things that had been packed away, Tantai Wuyue's heart sank into an ice cellar. He thought of what she had said last night.

If one day, she never comes back here.

If you don't come back, I will definitely chase you, but unfortunately, now is not the time. Tantai Wuyue thought to himself and sighed softly.

"Your Highness! It's bad, the Emperor is critically ill!" Outside the door, the subordinate's report changed Tan Tai Wu Yue's expression. All the complex expressions on his face disappeared, replaced by endless indifference and seriousness.

The emperor was critically ill, and he, as the crown prince and the future emperor of Lanlin, should bear all the responsibilities!

On this day, the sky was gloomy, thunder and lightning were raging, and on this day, the palace was filled with blood. No one expected that the Sixth Prince would suddenly rebel when the emperor was critically ill.

No one expected him to attack from eight villages. The most ridiculous thing was that even with his careful planning, the prince was still prepared. When two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured.

Ultimately, Crown Prince Tan Tai Wu Yue outmaneuvered the Sixth Prince and subdued him, sending him into exile. The Sixth Prince's followers were also exiled. Upon the Emperor's death, Crown Prince Tan Tai Wu Yue ascended the throne and changed the country's name to Si.

That same year, an order was issued. Future emperors of the Lanlin Dynasty were forbidden to harm General Situ's family. This single sentence seemed to grant the Situ family a golden ticket to immunity from death, but no one knew what the new emperor was thinking.

Time flies.

Lanlin Dynasty, Year 3 of the Calendar. The Emperor has been on the throne for three years.

During these three years, the emperor worked diligently, reducing taxes and labor service. He also introduced many new policies, all of which benefited the country and the people. No one dared to violate the laws established by the new emperor.

The new emperor always showed sympathy for his people, always prioritizing them above all else. However, the new emperor was good in every way. Except for one thing: he lacked a queen! Or perhaps it should be said that the queen had been missing for three years.

It was said that the new emperor married his beloved woman and made her his crown princess. It was said that the crown princess disappeared on the day the new emperor ascended the throne. It was said that the new emperor's vacant position as empress was reserved for her.

It was said that the new emperor would never remarry. There were many rumors, but no one had ever seen the queen. For three whole years, she hadn't returned. Many people even cursed the queen for never appearing.

Their new emperor is so good, why did he run away?

The new emperor hasn't given birth to a son yet!

Three years after the new emperor ascended the throne, at a palace banquet.

The man sat on the dragon throne, looking at the ministers below, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes. Once upon a time, he had also sat below, looking up at this position. However, after sitting on it, he found it was so lonely!

Back then, although he knew being an emperor wasn't easy, he was fearless because he had his beloved by his side. Now, she was gone. All that was left was endless fear.

As an emperor, he couldn't just appoint people based on personal connections like he had before. As an emperor, he had to learn to weigh the pros and cons. As an emperor, he had to learn to convince those around him. As an emperor... he couldn't even get a lazy nap.

As an emperor, he couldn't even find the woman he loved.

Tantai Wuyue just watched as the people at the banquet gradually dispersed, watching as they staggered one after another, and finally stepped down from the dragon throne.

"The Emperor seems unhappy." Tan Tai Yun Yi, who had been drinking, looked at Tan Tai Wu Yue and suddenly said...
