The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Tantai Wuyue didn't refute Situ Yaorao's words. She just listened with a smile. Meanwhile, Situ Yaorao secretly glanced at the man. This man was truly handsome.

Completely different from Cang, this man was elegant and noble. Yet, he also held a touch of mystery and aloofness. It was impossible to look away. You wanted to look at him and change for you.

Such people can arouse people's desire to conquer.

This was the thought in Situ Yaorao's mind.

So, he turned around and looked at the man.

"Huh? What's wrong? But there's something on my face..." The man didn't finish his words when he felt a warm sensation on his face. He looked at the woman next to him and froze.

"This is a return gift from before." Situ Yaorao smiled faintly, with an indescribable charm.

Tantai Wuyue looked at the woman like this, touched his face, and after a while, he chuckled: "You really don't admit defeat."

"A person's life is a war. If you lose, what's the point?" Situ Yaorao asked with a smile. Upon hearing this, Tantai Wuyue found the idea quite novel.

But more than that, he was attracted by the woman. This woman always had a thousand ways to please him.

He clearly looked very rude and knew that if he was with her, he would definitely get into a lot of trouble. But even so, he still couldn't help wanting to be with her.

Perhaps, this is not emotion at all, but a kind of disaster?

"I will propose to your daughter after she passes the exam, okay?" Tan Tai Wu Yue looked at Situ Yaorao and asked softly.

"That's your business." Situ Yaorao said.

"Will you agree?" Tantai Wuyue continued to ask. If he told others, he would be laughed at. A prince was asking for marriage, and he was afraid of being rejected!

"Whether you agree or not is my business. We shouldn't interfere with each other." Situ Yaorao looked at the man, her voice low. God knows, at that moment, she wanted to agree. But... as soon as she thought about what she would face next, and Mrs. Situ's grief, she couldn't bear it.

She was born into this world thanks to Madam Situ and her daughter. Without Madam Situ, her daughter wouldn't be alive. Without her daughter, she wouldn't be alive either.

People can be cruel, but they can't be ungrateful. Therefore, she couldn't bear to watch the Situ Mansion and see Mrs. Situ get into trouble because of her willfulness.

Even though she really liked the man in front of her.

"You don't agree to me, but is it because of that man named Cang?" Tan Tai Wu Yue looked at Situ Yaorao and asked lightly.

Situ Yaorao heard this and shook her head: "I won't agree to you, and it won't be because of another man."

"Then why? If it's the general, I have my own way and I will definitely make him give in." Tan Tai Wu Yue said anxiously.

"So what? Even if I give in, what will be the consequences of not being blessed? I don't want to see my mother sad, nor do I want to see the Situ family in turmoil because of me. Tan Tai Wu Yue, you are the crown prince, born noble. And I am just a little woman. What I want is different from what you want."

"What do you want? I will definitely find it for you." Tan Tai Wu Yue said.

Situ Yaorao smiled when she heard this: "Do you know about the poison of the moonlight?"

"What did you say?" Tan Tai Wu Yue was stunned.

"It's true that someone in the Situ Mansion was poisoned by Yuehua back then. It's not a rumor. And that person was me." Situ Yaorao continued.

Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Wu Yue felt completely stunned.

Yuehua, he had heard of this poison. He had also heard about the poisoning of the eldest daughter of the Situ family. However, he didn't believe it. After all, how could someone poison a child like this? Moreover... the poison was nothing more than a legend. How could it really exist?

However, these doubts were completely shattered after Situ Yaorao said it herself, and all the psychological preparations he had made were shattered.

He could marry the eldest daughter of the Situ family, and even go against the will of the world for her, but he could not marry a woman who had been poisoned.

"You..." Tan Tai Wu Yue looked at Situ Yaorao, not knowing what to say.

"This is a secret, so I hope you can keep it secret for me. At least, don't let anyone else know. If this matter gets out, it will only make my situation more difficult." Situ Yaorao said.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Wuyue nodded and said, "I originally thought it was just a legend."

"I also thought this was a legend. However, when I saw with my own eyes that my black hair turned white, I had to believe it. Now, not many people know that my hair was poisoned. If Your Highness the Crown Prince really likes me a little, then keep this as a secret and bury it in your heart forever." Situ Yaorao had a smile on her face.

Originally, she hadn't wanted to bring this up. After all, the feeling of being on the verge of death at any moment wasn't a good one, and even just talking about it made her feel terrified. However, if speaking about it could make Tan Tai Wu Yue give up on her, then that wouldn't be a bad thing.

Until she can detoxify herself, she is incomplete, and her life is not in her own hands.

Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao chuckled.

"No matter what, I still like you. Even if I can't marry you, I will do anything for you." Tan Tai Wu Yue looked at Situ Yaorao and said firmly.

"Including treating my illness?" Situ Yaorao asked with a smile.

"Including curing your illness. If I can cure it, you will marry me. If I can't, I will love you until you die. I will protect your Situ family and ensure their safety for the rest of their lives."

Tan Tai Wu Yue looked at Situ Yaorao and said solemnly.

These words really made Situ Yaorao stunned. Looking at the man, Situ Yaorao felt unwell.

"You...you didn't take the wrong medicine, did you? Do you know what you are talking about?" Situ Yaorao asked in disbelief.

"I know. If I ever become emperor, regardless of whether you're still alive or not, I will protect your Situ General's Mansion for a lifetime of peace, wealth, and glory. My descendants will not harm anyone in the General's Mansion." After saying this, Tan Tai Wu Yue knelt on the ground, pointing to the sky with both hands: "I, Tan Tai Wu Yue, swear to Situ Yaorao here. If I can cure her in this lifetime, I will marry her as my concubine and empress. If I can't cure her illness, I will definitely protect her family for a lifetime of peace, wealth, and glory. If you break this oath, you will be struck by lightning and pierced by thousands of arrows, and you will die a miserable death!"

Every word the man said pierced Situ Yaorao's heart.

This person, who had not known her for long, made such remarks.

"Is this enough?" Tan Tai Wu Yue looked at Situ Yaorao and asked softly.

"Enough...why?" Situ Yaorao's voice was a little hoarse.

"I don't know why, maybe it's because I like you. In this world, it's not easy to meet a woman who makes your heart beat. And you are the one who makes my heart beat." Tan Tai Wu Yue said.

"But I can't give you anything."

"This feeling is the best gift." Tan Tai Wu Yue said decisively.

Situ Yaorao lowered her head, not daring to look at Tantai Wuyue. She didn't know if this was love, but she knew her heart was beating wildly. She wished she could give him all the best things.

"Dan Tai Wu Yue, let's be together." Situ Yaorao looked at the man and said through gritted teeth.

Tantai Wuyue was stunned when she heard this. It seemed that she didn't quite understand what she meant.

"You and I may not be able to get married, or even have no future. But at this moment, I think we can love each other. This relationship has no future, are you willing to accept it?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man and continued.

Tantai Wuyue smiled when he heard this: "Why not?"

The moonlight was everywhere, and the woman in white snuggled in the arms of the man in purple. The two looked so well-matched, like a perfect couple.

The jade platform under the two of them looked like a foil.

"Speaking of which, what happened between you and Dongfang Mo today?" Tan Tai Wu Yue hugged Situ Yaorao and asked as if he remembered something.

"Dongfang Mo? What's going on between me and him?" Situ Yaorao asked in confusion.

"You ride in the carriage with him."

"You're following me?" Situ Yaorao jumped up and pointed at Tantai Wuyue's nose. You know, what she hated most was being followed.
