The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Chapter 174 Princess Wuyan's Plan

Situ Yaorao was relieved after hearing this. "Before, for some reasons, I planned to open a restaurant. However, I was short of a chef. Good chefs are hard to find, especially loyal ones. I was really worried about this. Just when I was at my wit's end, a friend introduced me to someone. He said this person was a genius, but there was one bad thing about him. He liked ugly women. I thought it was a bit strange. After meeting him, I found that he was very beautiful. Then, I learned a fact from him. It turns out that there was a reason why he liked ugly women. And that reason was the princess."

"What do you mean?" Princess Wuyan's tone was a little cold.

"Nothing, please listen to what I have to say, Princess."

"explain."

"At that time, I decided to ask this person to be my chef, but he made a request that made me very embarrassed. He said... if I wanted his help, I had to let him meet someone. And let this person marry him." Situ Yaorao looked at the woman and said lightly.

Princess Wuyan sneered when she heard this: "So, this is why you begged my brother, even asking him to beg me to let me see him?"

"good."

"You are such a willful woman. You've made such a big fuss just for a shabby restaurant. Do you know how many people will suffer because of your words?"

"I don't know. But I know that the princess will not do anything." Situ Yaorao looked at the woman and said firmly.

"Oh? How do you know I can't do anything?"

"Because the princess is sentimental."

"Haha, that's ridiculous."

"I think Princess knows who I'm talking about?" Situ Yaorao said.

"Mozhu." Princess Wuyan said without hesitation.

"Yes, it's him. All these years, he's still deeply in love with Her Royal Highness, and has never had any second thoughts. He doesn't even bother to look at a beautiful woman's face. It's all for Her Royal Highness. I wonder if the Princess would be willing to meet him?"

Situ Yaorao looked at the woman and asked softly.

Princess Wuyan sneered when she heard this: "If the Crown Prince destroyed everything you had, including your appearance, would you still be willing to see him?"

"This……"

"If you can't come up with the answer, why bother asking me to come up with it?"

"I don't think I owe anything to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the princess owes Mo Zhu."

"I already paid him back on my face a long time ago what I owed him."

"Is that really the case?" Situ Yaorao's eyes grew penetrating. She stared at the princess, as if trying to see through her thoughts. Hearing this, the princess scoffed, "Some things are consensual. I've never asked him for anything. He did everything of his own free will."

"Even so, facing a man who loves the princess so much, doesn't the princess want to meet him? Listen to his explanation?"

"He has nothing to explain. I know everything. But, just like what I said just now, I cannot accept someone who harmed me like this. If it weren't for him, perhaps I would be living a good life now. All my dreams would have been successfully realized."

"So, will the princess be happy?"

"Do you think I'm happy now?" Princess Wuyan asked back.

"As long as Her Royal Highness wants, she will be happy."

"Oh! You are good at talking. I let you say all the good things. But, you may not be able to get through that level, right? If it were you and your brother in the current situation."

"If he didn't do it on purpose, I won't hold a grudge against him. If he still loves me, I certainly won't be sad. Instead, I will be with him. Because we love each other." Situ Yaorao said.

"How do you know he didn't mean it?" the princess asked excitedly.

"If it was intentional, how could I have been thinking about you for so many years? If it was intentional, why would I not dare to see you until now, just because of a word you said? If I didn't cherish you, why would I obey your orders? How could someone who cherishes you so much deliberately hurt you?"

"Some things can only be done by the person who loves you the most," said Princess Wuyan.

"Maybe, but I believe he won't do such a thing." Situ Yaorao said firmly.

"You... are so willful." The princess looked at Situ Yaorao and said again.

"What does this mean, Princess?"

"This is the first time I've seen a woman as willful as you. For your own sake, you ignore other people's thoughts and forcibly untie other people's scars." Princess Wuyan said coldly.

"Maybe... that's the case." Situ Yaorao whispered.

"However, perhaps it is precisely because of your character that the emperor likes you? Perhaps what the emperor likes is your unrestrained temperament. The emperor is a very self-disciplined person. For his status, for the people, and for the royal family, he has made too many sacrifices. Gradually, he has become unlike himself. So, when such a man sees such a willful you, he will naturally be attracted to you." Princess Wuyan sighed.

"I don't know why he likes me, but I do understand that if he likes me, he likes me. Why would there be so many reasons? Princess, if you always find strange excuses for yourself, the end result will be nothing. Sometimes, you have to learn to look beyond the surface. Because not everyone works with their heart. Not everyone lives in suspicion."

Situ Yaorao looked at the woman and said seriously.

"But even so..."

"Princess, please meet him. Perhaps you can figure things out for yourself," Situ Yaorao pleaded. Princess Wuyan was silent for a moment. She had other thoughts in mind.

When my brother came here before, he mentioned that this matter was related to her leaving Xiyue Palace. Perhaps... he started with Mo Zhu, right?

Regardless, she'd had enough of Xiyue Palace. Every day, she barely saw a single person. If she wasn't careful, she might even forget about it. People said it was her father's protection, but she saw it as simply a confession of guilt because she was no longer useful and had offended the Mohist sect. Thinking this over, Princess Wuyan made a decision.

"It's not impossible to see him. However, I can't leave this palace."

"can not go out?"

"Yes, look at this Xiyue Palace. It looks very good, but in fact, it is just a cage. Here, I have no freedom and no future." The woman said with a smile.

Is this imprisonment in disguise?

Situ Yaorao was no fool, so she naturally understood. So she asked, "Princess, do you want us to find a way to take you out to see him?"

"Ah, that's right. If he comes to the palace, he will definitely be discovered soon. After all... there are still many people in the palace who care about the Mo family."

The princess said.

"I'll discuss it with him."

"Then I will wait for your good news. But please remember one thing. I haven't forgiven him yet. Don't give him any hope." Princess Wuyan reminded coldly.

Situ Yaorao understood what she was saying, so she said, "Don't worry, if he can't keep the princess even after they meet, then everything is his own problem. It has nothing to do with the princess. And there's no need for me to say anything more."

"That's good. Open the door. You're probably the only one who's locked our brother out for so long." Wuyan said. Situ Yaorao then remembered that she had also locked Tantai Wuyue out. So she hurriedly opened the door.

"Are you done talking?" Tan Tai Wu Yue looked at the two people calmly and asked.

"Well, the discussion is over. The princess has agreed to leave the palace to see him."

"Leave the palace?" Tantai Wuyue frowned and looked at Princess Wuyan coldly. Princess Wuyan raised her eyebrows and smiled. As if to say, what can you do to me?

Tantai Wuyue's brows furrowed even more. Looking at Princess Wuyan, he said coldly, "You'd better not play any tricks on me, or else, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

Princess Wuyan just chuckled when she heard this: "Your Majesty, you're joking. I only agreed to this out of consideration for your sake. After all... I don't want to see him."
