Quick Wear: Don't Follow the Plot and Feel Good

Chapter 152 Who is the Goddess?

At that time, the wife of Imperial Censor Liu Chengde gave birth to twin daughters. Suddenly, colorful clouds appeared in the sky, which was gorgeous and dazzling for a moment.

A wandering Taoist priest said, "Of these two women, one is a natural goddess, destined to be the mother of the world. Whoever gets her will get the world. The other is born with a devilish nature that is difficult to change. If we don't take action soon, she will bring disaster to the people sooner or later!"

Liu Chengde doesn't believe in evil, but strange things keep happening in his mansion. Today, the dog dies; tomorrow, the housekeeper falls ill...

So he discussed with his wife which one to send to a nunnery, hoping that the Buddha's power could suppress the devil's nature.

The lady didn't know who to choose. The Taoist priest hadn't said who the witch was, hadn't he? And now he'd disappeared. The two decided to draw lots.

So Liu Rumo, who was born later, was sent to a nunnery.

Not long after he was sent away, the mansion returned to peace. The couple was glad that they had sent the right person.

15 years later, Liu Rumo returned to the Liu Mansion.

The reason was simple: the old emperor wanted to hold a selection of concubines. He required that all officials above the fifth rank in the capital not discuss their daughters' marriages, and that each family must send one daughter to the palace for selection.

Of course, Liu Chengde and his wife were reluctant to let their eldest daughter, with whom they had been living day and night, go to the palace, so they thought of their youngest daughter who had been sent to a nunnery since childhood.

"If you can be selected, it will be your blessing. It will also bring honor to our Liu family." Mrs. Liu said.

"Do you want this blessing?" Liu Rumo asked.

"You!" Madam Liu was furious. "You really didn't grow up by my side, so you're not considerate at all."

"Why are you so angry, mother? You sent me to a nunnery for 15 years, and have you ever visited me once? Now you're saying I'm not considerate?"

Madam Liu thought of something bad, but swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She just hoped her daughter wouldn't go to the palace and bring disaster upon her family. It would be best if she didn't get chosen.

So on the day of the audition, Liu Rumo was deliberately given an allergic reaction on her face so that she would not be able to pass the audition.

On the first day of the selection, the candidates were to be examined for appearance. But the old emperor suddenly said, "There's no need to examine their appearance. As long as they're healthy and can have children, that's all that matters. I'm tired of seeing those vulgar women. I don't know how much powder they put on their pretty faces. It's giving me a rhinitis."

When Liu Rumo heard this, she quickly pulled off her veil and said, "If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have had to hold it in for so long."

"How dare you!" The eunuch next to him heard this and quickly scolded.

"That's right. If Your Majesty had told us earlier, your servants wouldn't have to wear veils to hide their allergies. And they wouldn't have to apply thick makeup on their faces. Your Majesty wouldn't have to worry about his rhinitis coming back."

The old emperor had listened to the advice of smooth sailing all his life, but when he got old he actually reached a rebellious stage and liked to argue. Then Liu Rumo was named a noble concubine.

Liu Rumo began to show her political talent, proposing many ideas that benefited the people, and she was also adept at fighting and deploying troops. The emperor valued her more and more.

(Don’t doubt it, my dears. Before the Spring and Autumn Period, many women in the harem participated in politics. For example, Fu Hao, the queen of King Wu Ding of Shang, was the first female commander-in-chief.)

The old emperor valued Liu Rumo and wanted to make her his empress, but the prince's party and some conservative ministers strongly opposed it, and they kept submitting memorials to insult and curse her.

The angry old emperor's hidden illness relapsed and he died.

When the prince ascended the throne, he imprisoned Liu Rumo in the cold palace and made another daughter of the Liu family, Liu Ruyan, the queen.

More than half a year later, the neighboring country Dayao came to propose marriage. The new emperor did not dare to refuse, so he demoted Liu Rumo to a princess and sent her to marry.

They were also afraid that she would gain power in a neighboring country and come back for revenge, so they sent people to kill her on the way.

His own country, however, was soon depleted by Liu Ruyan's extravagant spending, her extravagant displays of ostentation, and her reckless abandon. When Dayao led his army south, not a single man was found in the court. From top to bottom, the servility was truly ironic.

“I want to save people from disaster.”

"As you wish!" After saying that, Sheng Jiang disappeared.

……

The country where Liu Rumo is located is a medium-sized country in the entire continent, called Xia.

Dayao is considered a relatively powerful country. There are more than a dozen other countries, large and small. Liang, Zhou... and so on.

Countries often fight for territory, and the people live in dire straits.

Liu Rumo and Liu Ruyan are both celestial beings. Liu Ruyan is a demon king, but she falls in love with Liu Rumo's maid Bai Yueyue, and the two secretly get married.

Bai Yueyue even wanted to steal the secrets of the divine realm for the Demon Lord, but she didn't want to be discovered by Liu Rumo, so he slapped her to death with one palm.

The Demon Lord was furious and started fighting with Liu Rumo. The heavens were in turmoil, and the human world was in even greater disarray.

Seeing this, Liu Rumo didn't bother to fight with the Demon Lord and went down to the mortal world to reincarnate and save the people. Unexpectedly, the Demon Lord also started to come down to the mortal world and took the lead and became the elder sister.

Of course, after being reborn, all memories of heaven are gone. Only instinctive consciousness remains, allowing one to do what they want.

Sheng Jiang thought about it and decided that Liu Rumo had to complete the task himself.

Liu Rumo readily agreed, saying that he had to take care of his own affairs.

She stayed in Sheng Jiang's space for a while, and when she emerged, her aura of power was even stronger than before. She was afraid that a single slap could kill the Demon Lord.

At this time, Liu Rumo was already a noble concubine. Because of her straightforward speech, the old emperor loved her very much.

Perhaps the old emperor had seen too many intrigues and deceptions, so he was completely unguarded against someone like Liu Rumo.

Because if someone said to the old emperor's son, "You must study hard and share the heavy responsibilities for your father in the future," the old emperor would definitely think that this person had ulterior motives.

But if Liu Rumo said it, the old emperor would really think that she had no other ideas.

After all, Liu Rumo even used his real name when poisoning.

The Jade Concubine in the palace, whose family was powerful, had even extended her influence into the harem. The old emperor was very angry, "Do you think I'm dead?"

So he arranged for Liu Rumo to poison Concubine Yu.

As a result, Liu Rumo brought the medicine and said to Concubine Yu, "This is poison. The emperor asked me to bring it, saying that your family has too many hands. It's up to you whether to drink it or not. I just followed the emperor's orders and brought the medicine. I'm telling you, I just want you to die with a clear mind, so that you don't hate the wrong person."

Old Emperor: ...This is the first time I ask you to do something, and this is how you do it?

Liu Rumo ignored all this and focused on sincerity. As it turned out, sincerity was the ultimate weapon.

Because of this incident, the ministers trembled with fear and never dared to ask too much about the affairs of the palace. After all, it is not easy to raise a daughter.

No one specifically inquired about the emperor's whereabouts, and no one dared to change the emperor's mind without authorization, so the harem became quiet.

So after the emperor's initial anger, he was still a wise ruler. He calmed down and treated Liu Rumo as before. He still trusted her and even started to tell her about the things happening in the court.

The old emperor wasn't that old, under 40. Liu Rumo had been handling government affairs and managing the harem for a full ten years. The living standards of the people of Xia were visibly improving. Once people settled down, they started having children, and Xia's population began to grow steadily, a sign of prosperity and peace.

The throne of empress had been vacant for many years. The old emperor knew the personalities of his sons and was afraid that they would not be able to tolerate a concubine in the future, so he wanted to make Liu Rumo the empress.

At that time, no matter which son ascended the throne, she could be called the queen. If her son was incompetent, she could assist him or ascend the throne herself.

It seems like entrusting one's son to someone else's care in Baidi City.

As expected, the ministers were all against it, and the Liu family was even more opposed.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine was born at the same time as her elder sister. When her elder sister was born, the sky was filled with rosy clouds. A Taoist priest once said that she was the reincarnation of a goddess, and would be the mother of the country. But the Imperial Concubine is the reincarnation of a witch..."

The emperor interrupted him impatiently, "If the imperial concubine is a witch, why hasn't she brought disaster to the country and the people in the past ten years?"

"This... perhaps the witch is extremely treacherous and has been holding back, waiting for Your Majesty to arrive before revealing her true nature." The more Liu Chengde spoke, the more he felt he was right. "Your Majesty, now that the dragon energy is suppressing her, the witch can still restrain herself. After Your Majesty arrives a hundred years later, the country will surely be in turmoil! I hope Your Majesty will reconsider!"

A group of ministers below also knelt down, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"What nonsense!" The emperor was furious and vomited blood in anger.

Over the past ten years, Liu Rumo has secretly developed a lot of power. She doesn't care about the position of empress, nor does she care about the opinions of the ministers. Even if the old emperor passes away, she has the ability to ascend the throne herself.

Liu Rumo only cares about the emperor's kindness towards her.

In the end, the old emperor had to compromise and let his youngest son, who had no maternal influence, ascend the throne, with Liu Rumo as his assistant.

After saying this, the old emperor breathed his last.

Liu Rumo couldn't stop crying.

The new emperor ascended the throne and continued the old emperor's policies. With Liu Rumo's support, he became more and more adept at doing things.

But he didn't care about brotherly love. In his humble past, he'd been bullied by the princes and princesses of the palace. Beaten by princes, pushed into icy lakes by princesses, to the laughter of those on the shore. If it weren't for Liu Rumo, he might have already become a ghost underwater.

Now that he has ascended the throne, the other princes and princesses are secretly disobeying him and opposing him at every turn. Even the former crown prince dared to rebel. Fortunately, Liu Rumo personally took the lead and killed the rebels, bringing stability to Daxia.

The prince and everyone else were arrested and thrown into the sky prison.

Liu Rumo went to meet Liu Ruyan alone.

"It's you? You, the disaster! Let me out now!"

"Who of us is the disaster star? Don't you have any idea in your mind? Back then, if you hadn't forced your way through me and squeezed in first when I was reincarnated, wouldn't you have just wanted to take advantage of my myriad rays of light?"

"Hmph! Since ancient times, yin and yang have been intertwined. You can't kill me, and I can't kill you. Why do you want to go against me?"

"Because the grudge between us has already involved the lives of ordinary people. No matter how much you try to defeat me, these people are innocent. And you actually treat them like straw dogs, regard human lives as worthless, and trample on them at will!

For his own selfish desires, he actually built a pool of wine and a forest of meat; to gamble on whether a pregnant woman was pregnant, he actually cut open her belly; to eliminate dissidents, he even lied that he was ill and needed the Prime Minister's heart blood as a medicine...

You plotted against me, forced me to marry, and even assassinated me on the way. Later, you acted recklessly and disrupted state affairs. In every case, which one of these things did you wrongly accuse me of?"

"Come on! Liu Rumo, you are a goddess, so you are naturally compassionate. I am a witch, so of course I will bring disaster to the world. But can you kill me? Do you dare to kill me?

Do you know that if there were no demons, no bad luck, and no disasters in this world, why would people burn incense?

Without demons, there are no Buddhas. Do you understand this principle?"

Liu Rumo said nothing. Indeed, what Liu Ruyan said was right.

Even if she killed Liu Ruyan now, as long as people's greed remained in their hearts, the witch would still absorb it. Over time, the witch would be resurrected and all things would suffer disaster again.

But human desires are endless and will never end.

It is precisely because of this that human history has been constantly repeating itself, suffering and misfortune.

"Even so, you can't escape punishment!"

Liu Rumo formed seals with his hands, muttering something to himself. Even if he couldn't kill her, he would save the life before him first. After all, the disaster before him was indeed caused by him. As for what happened next, he couldn't control it.

Her magic power was now so strong that Liu Ruyan had no way to resist. Soon, she was sucked into a vortex, and thousands of swords and sabers stabbed at her, leaving a trail of blood.

"Liu Rumo, you will not die a good death!" Liu Ruyan was in agony and cursed, "When I come back, I will skin you alive and tear your tendons apart, then cut you into pieces!"

Liu Rumo smiled, "Then let's talk about it when you come back!"

Anyway, she has asked Ginger to trap the demon for 100,000 years.

She was already very content to be able to defend this land for a hundred thousand years. She didn't care about the grudges between other humans.

The prince trembled when he saw what happened to Liu Ruyan. "God, please forgive me! It was all that bitch Liu Ruyan who instigated me! You punished her, but you can't punish me!"

"How can someone like you be worthy of being the king of a country? If you were a little tougher, I would look up to you!"

The crown prince was sentenced to death by slicing, and not only him, but also a group of princes and ministers, including Liu Chengde and others.

"Rebellious daughter! Rebellious daughter! If I had known this would happen, I should have strangled you to death when you were born!"

There was a river of blood and it took half a month just to clean up.

The Dayao Kingdom took this opportunity to propose marriage, but in fact it was to find out the truth.

"I have heard that the current Queen Mother is both wise and brave, and that our Lord loves her very much. I would like to offer her my vast territory as a betrothal gift, and I beg your Lord to grant my wish!"

The new emperor was furious. "You bastards, you've gone too far! I will send my troops this very day and swear to crush Dayao! Come! Drag these two envoys out and behead them in public! Hang their heads above the city gate!"

Liu Rumo led an army of 50 and destroyed Dayao in two years. The two countries were united.

Other countries trembled in fear, and some people, claiming to be eloquent, traveled around the world, lobbying other countries' leaders to form an alliance to resist Xiamen. Unfortunately, the alliance collapsed before it even started.

Liu Rumo: A group of rabble.

He then led a large army to destroy Liang, Zhou and other countries, unifying the entire continent.

Liu Rumo returned to the court and worked hard to help the emperor handle government affairs and stabilize development.

He only lived to his 50s when he became terminally ill.

The emperor was deeply saddened, and the whole country was in mourning.

Later there was a poem:

Oh, Heaven, why did you rush to hand him over to the autumn wind?

Oh earth, why are you so hasty to embrace him in your arms?

I would rather die than let her live.

Let's lead our soldiers to fight again.

Who can compare with devoting all his life to the cause?

Who can live a pure life like me?

Oh...oh...

God, you are so unfair.

Earth, you are so heartless!

Oh...oh...

To whom will Xiamen be handed over?

It is so heartbreaking!
