Legitimate Daughter, Arrogant Consort

"What happened to the princess?"

Hearing Situ Yaorao's question, Princess Wu Yan's expression became even darker, and said: "Nothing much, just that the Empress Dowager made a move. She always did. However, they did not target my mother concubine this time.

"Does the princess know why she is making things difficult for you?" Situ Yaorao did not understand. If the Empress really wanted to silence him, wouldn't it be better to just kill Princess Wu Yan?

She did not do so without saying anything. Instead, she allowed her to live. He did not know why she was tormenting him. Situ Yaorao was confused. A person who could sit on the throne of the Empress wouldn't be afraid of gossip. Even if the emperor still had feelings for Princess Wu Yan, but if the empress were to do it cleanly behind her back, the emperor still wouldn't be able to punish her.

Therefore, there must be something that Princess Wu Yan did not mention.

She had already suspected it earlier, but since the other party was unwilling to say it, she shouldn't have asked. Everyone had their own secrets, just like how Princess Wu Yan had never investigated her, she should not ask about things that she shouldn't have.

But now, Princess Wu Yan was living a life worse than death, she could not just watch.

In the Lanlin Empire, the only person she could talk to was the Princess Wu Yan in front of her. The Princess didn't need to scheme against her, and she didn't have any direct interest in him. The two were more like friends.

This made Situ Yaorao feel extremely precious. Although he had only seen it a few times, his words were no different from those of others.

Why did he attack?

This question made Princess Wu Yan feel deeply moved. If she could have said it, she wouldn't still be in this shabby courtyard.

"There are some things you should not ask. Now that I have ended up like this, I have brought this upon myself. Since I have promised others, I will not go back on my word. Even if I die in the future because of this matter, it would only be my fate. " Princess Wu Yan sighed.

After Situ Yaorao heard this, he fell silent.

She did not believe in fate.

But facing Princess Wu Yan, she had no choice.

"Royal Brother is still waiting for you outside. Go back with him. Be careful of the Empress Dowager, don't let her catch a hold of something. " Princess Wu Yan's gaze turned gentle. She really liked Situ Yaorao.

People in the palace shouldn't have friends. For this, she had been alone for most of her life. He never thought that he would know Situ Yaorao in this shabby little circle. He never thought that Situ Yaorao would worry about her, much less think about it … I want to be friends with her.

Seeing that Princess Wu Yan was determined to not say anything, Situ Yaorao felt a little helpless and said: "I'll come visit you another day. Princess Wu Yan, although I do not know who you are keeping a secret for, and whether it is beneficial to you or not. But please cherish yourself. There is another person bitterly waiting for you in the capital. "

Princess Wu Yan of course knew who she was talking about.

Mo Zhu, that man that she could never forget.

Princess Wu Yan's expression darkened slightly and she smiled instead, "As long as I don't die, I will."

"Goodbye." Situ Yaorao said indifferently. However, what she didn't know was that this meeting almost became a farewell. Naturally, this was also a story for the future.

Situ Yaorao walked out of the house, and saw that the man in the courtyard was looking up at the sky, his expression relaxed, as though he was lost in thought. Situ Yaorao looked at the man, a little dazed.

Tantai Wuyue was probably the most refined person she had ever met.

Situ Yaorao walked over to his side and silently held his hand. Tantai Wuyue slightly narrowed his eyes, turned around, looked at Situ Yaorao, and said: "She told you?"

Situ Yaorao shook her head: "I didn't say anything, Princess Wu Yan seemed to want to desperately keep that secret. However, what secret could it be that made the Empress brave the dangers of being discovered all those years ago and unwilling to kill Princess Wu Yan? " Situ Yaorao muttered. It was unknown whether he was asking Tantai Wuyue, or pondering for himself.

Tantai Wuyue's expression did not change, and only said: "Who knows? But all I know is that this has nothing to do with us. Allure, consider this as a request of mine, don't get involved. "Don't embarrass me." Tantai Wuyue's tone was very light, as if she was casually chatting, but Situ Yaorao understood in his heart. He was really begging her.

If she were to be involved, he would have to make a choice between himself and the empress.

"I know, I definitely won't get involved. As long as Empress Dowager does not harm me. " Situ Yaorao said.

After receiving Situ Yaorao's guarantee, Tantai Wuyue smiled in satisfaction.

After leaving the palace, Situ Yaorao felt that his entire being had become a lot more relaxed.

This Tantai Wuyue treated her extremely well, she felt that he would give her whatever he wanted.

Time passed quickly when people were happy. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Three days was the time for the crown prince to get married. After that, Tantai Wuyue would head south to handle the plague.

Early in the morning, the sun quietly rose from the clouds. The sky was somewhat overcast, as if it would rain at any time. Tantai Wuyue dressed neatly and was about to leave.

Situ Yaorao sat on the bed, looked at the man, and couldn't help but ask: "Must you go?"

"Eh?" Tantai Wuyue was a little surprised, he did not expect Situ Yaorao to suddenly ask a question, but he nodded his head without changing his mind: "I must go. They say that wealth comes from danger, and it is the same for me. In the current capital, the Lao Liu is on par with me, but the one whom royal father thinks of is neither me nor him. If you want royal father to pass the throne down to me. The best way is to make a contribution. The plague has killed the people, and I am responsible for the court. In private, I do not want to see those innocent people die. "Therefore, I must go."

Tantai Wuyue's words caused a stir in his heart.

This person was not someone who was proud and arrogant in the eyes of outsiders. He was very gentle, but no one understood him.

Situ Yaorao got off the bed, hugged the man's waist, and said in a low voice: "Go early and come back soon. I'll wait for you at home."

Waiting for you at home... Tantai Wuyue's pupils contracted. His originally cold face had now revealed a faint smile, as if ice was melting and spring was blooming. He returned to the girl in his arms and whispered in her ear, "Okay, wait for me at home."

With that, he pushed Situ Yaorao away and left.

Tantai Wuyue left in a rush, not even giving Situ Yaorao a single glance. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be unable to stop himself from regretting going south. They were on their way south, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive. If something were to happen … Tantai Wuyue did not dare to think about it, and was also unwilling to do so.

"Crown Princess, lateral consort has come to visit." Outside, Lian Er's respectful voice sounded. Hearing what was said, Situ Yaorao frowned: "What does she want?"

"This... They said they were here to treat Crown Princess to tea. "

"Tea?" Situ Yaorao laughed coldly in his heart. He had not seen Mu Lingwan make any movements in the past three days, and the moment Tantai Wuyue stepped out of the house, he invited her to tea?

"Let her in and wait for me in the hall." Situ Yaorao put on his clothes, looked at his own reflection in the copper mirror, sighed in his heart, and then walked out of the room.

Mu Lingwan was born proud, with an exquisite face and many tricks, she was a stunning woman. If not for her lowly background, she was afraid that the position of the Crown Princess would already be in Mu Lingwan's hands.

However, there were no ifs in this world.

Situ Yaorao looked at Mu Lingwan who was drinking his tea in the hall, withdrew his gaze, and walked out. A smile also appeared on his face. "I didn't know that my sister would be here. It's a pity that I'm not ready."

Hearing Situ Yaorao's voice, Mu Lingwan hurriedly put down the teacup and cordially arrived in front of Situ Yaorao, saying, "Sis pays respects to big sister."

"Get up. We are sisters, why must you be so courteous? " Although Situ Yaorao said this, he did not try to support her, and instead walked over to her seat.

As a Crown Princess, she should have a certain level of bearing. If she was too courteous to Mu Lingwan, this woman would bite back sooner or later. Therefore, Situ Yaorao was very cautious.

Mu Lingwan did not mind, and only laughed: "Big sister has just arrived in Crown Prince's Mansion, if there is anything that you do not know, you can speak directly to me. "My sister has been living in the manor for a long time. Although she doesn't know everything about the estate, it's about time."
