Chapter 1996
Not a Noble Consort 17
Liu Huai resigned from his position as prime minister three years later.
The successor was Princess Huaining, whose political talent surpassed that of Duanmu Rou.
Since becoming a duke, Duanmu Rou has focused all her attention on "inventions and creations," and was granted the title of king based on these creations.
Of course, this king of a different surname did not have any territory, and the title was only passed down to her generation.
Her achievements infuriated Dongfang Zeng.
Why didn't Duanmu Rou "invent" these things when she was empress?
Why didn't she help him?
Dongfang Zeng wanted to settle accounts with Duanmu Rou, but Duanmu Rou was too busy and had no time to see him.
Liu Qingya did not kill Dongfang Zeng, but released him and the Empress Dowager from the palace and gave them a manor to ensure they had enough to eat and wear.
They are relatives after all.
Dongfang Zeng was unwilling to accept defeat and wanted to contact his former subordinates to reclaim his throne.
But no one dared to help him; they had all been fed "Three Corpse Brain God Pills," which were actually hawthorn pills.
This is also the main reason why Liu Qingya felt comfortable releasing him.
Dongfang Zeng was utterly dejected and spent his days drinking.
The Empress Dowager was worried that the Dongfang family bloodline would be cut off, so she asked Liu Qingyu to return to Dongfang Zeng's side. However, Liu Qingyu sent her a letter of divorce.
The Empress Dowager had no choice but to ask Liu Qingya to find a woman for Dongfang Zeng.
Liu Qingya consulted some women and then sent Mo Shu, the head palace maid who originally served Dongfang Zeng, to Dongfang Zeng's side.
The final chapter of the story is filled with unwavering devotion to Dongfang Zeng, completely disregarding the fact that Dongfang Zeng is no longer the emperor.
In the end, Dongfang Zeng and Mo Shu lived the life of an ordinary married couple.
Upon hearing of the events in the capital, Nangong Fan returned to the capital out of concern for Duanmu Rou.
Seeing Duanmu Rou immersed in her career, Nangong Fan found her even more radiant than before, and even more captivating to him.
Knowing that Duanmu Rou and Dongfang Zeng had divorced, he wanted to rekindle their old relationship.
But Duanmu Rou did not accept.
Duanmu Rou has even let go of Dongfang Zeng, let alone Nangong Fan.
She used to enjoy having two men fawning over her, but now...
Men will only slow down her sword-drawing speed.
She was determined to develop technology in this ancient world, ideally bringing out electric lights and trains.
Nangong Fan was rejected by Duanmu Rou very decisively.
He left Duanmu Rou dejectedly, just as a caravan was passing by on the street.
According to passersby, the person sitting in that carriage was the current prime minister, Princess Huaining of the previous dynasty.
Nangong Fan couldn't see the face of the person inside the car, but he could imagine that she must be as spirited as Duanmu Rou.
Neither of the two women shone brightly after leaving the man.
It was he and Dongfang Zeng who misled them in the past.
Nangong Fan did not stay with Huaining for long, but instead secretly slipped into the Prime Minister's residence to visit his biological son.
The child has already started school and is also practicing martial arts.
This child is a lot like him when he was young; he prefers martial arts to studying.
If you make him study, it's like there's a nail under his butt; he can't even sit still.
As a result, he was punished by his mother to write ten large characters.
Seeing the child struggling to write, Nangong Fan couldn't help but laugh.
A feeling of fatherly love welled up inside me.
But he knew that the child did not need his fatherly love.
After leaving the Prime Minister's residence, Nangong Fan was invited to a private room in a restaurant.
He saw a familiar face.
"You didn't die?!" Nangong Yi: "I was lucky, I was saved by the same person twice."
Nangong Fan was curious about who had saved Nangong Yi.
Nangong Yi didn't keep him in suspense and said, "It's Qingya."
"Qingya, Liu Qingya?" Nangong Fan exclaimed in surprise.
Nangong Yi nodded.
Nangong Fan: "You wouldn't happen to be Liu Qingya's royal consort, would you?"
Nangong Yi nodded again.
Nangong Fan: "..."
"You are indeed very lucky."
Both Duanmu Rou and Princess Huaining are outstanding women, yet they willingly became Liu Qingya's subordinates and worked for her, which shows that Liu Qingya is even more outstanding than them.
Nangong Yi is truly lucky to have won the love of such an outstanding woman; he is luckier than Nangong Yi.
Most fortunately, as the emperor's consort, he did not have to stay in the harem, but was able to attend court to demonstrate his talents and abilities and make achievements.
Nangong Fan couldn't help but feel jealous.
The two brothers parted ways after having a drink together.
Nangong Fan left the capital and never returned.
Liu Qingya learned about the importance of science and technology from Liu Dong and allocated funds to establish a research institute.
Liu Dongcai is the director, and Duanmu Rou is the deputy director.
Liu Qiu did not exhibit any characteristics of a time traveler, and therefore Duanmu Rou did not discover that Liu Qiu knew more about modern knowledge than she did.
Duanmu Rou recalled the physics and chemistry knowledge she learned in her previous life, taught a group of researchers, and then led them in their research.
Liu Dong would always point out key points when they stagnated, subtly guiding everyone in the right direction.
With his hidden advantage, the research institute developed many great things, and the world's technology advanced by several hundred years.
Electric lights and trains have already been invented.
Liu Qingyu took on the task of building the railway and spent most of his life traveling all over the country.
After divorcing Dongfang Zeng, the girl never remarried. Faced with her father's pressure to get married, Liu Qingyu brought home a baby a year later and left it to Liu Huai to help raise.
Liu Qingyu wrote down her experiences in a travelogue, which has been passed down to later generations and has become extracurricular reading material for middle school students.
Liu Huai sighed. Apart from his eldest daughter marrying a royal consort, none of his other three children were married.
The third son claimed to be a Taoist practitioner, and not only did he not marry, but he also did not have children.
The second daughter and the youngest son did not get married, but they both brought their children back home, saying they were their own flesh and blood, and left them to Liu Huai to raise.
What could Liu Huai do but help his son and daughter raise their grandchildren?
This made his later years quite eventful, but Liu Huai enjoyed it immensely.
Liu Heng had the wildest ambition. He led a group of soldiers he had trained to fight everywhere and conquered the small countries in the vicinity.
He heard Liu Tong say that there were many countries in the West where the people lived in poverty and were enslaved by nobles.
Liu Heng decided to help the poor people and overthrow the rule of the nobles.
As for the common people crying and clamoring to be incorporated into the Liu family's country after the aristocracy was overthrown, becoming their citizens, Liu Heng ignored them.
It is managed by Nangong Yi.
He's in charge of this area.
Because of this incident, he spent most of his time away from the country and lived apart from Liu Qingya for a long period of time, but their feelings for each other did not diminish.
The seven-year itch doesn't exist.
Every time the two met, it felt like a reunion after a short separation.
Later, the entire Asian and European continents were ruled by the Liu family.
A thousand years later, many small countries are arguing that they are the true descendants of the Liu family.
After seeing his older sister and younger brother off, Liu Dong departed this world with a vast amount of merit. (End of Chapter)
