Quick Wear: Under the Skirt, All Beings Are Equal

Chapter 451: The Traitor: Bright Moon, Drinking Alone in the Autumn

Li Limu never wanted to leave the place where she had lived since childhood. She was not afraid of death, nor was she afraid of being tortured or insulted, but there were too many people in this place that she could not let go.

"This world is unfair to women. It's hard for women to survive. Not to mention those who are drowned at birth, they don't even have the right to grow up. As for those who survive, most of them will be promised to men they have never met by their families when they grow up, in exchange for the bride price to marry a man in the family."

"I am a princess of Northern Qi, respected by all the people, so I should do something for the people."

When saying this, Li Limu looked proud, as if he was a phoenix soaring in the sky, unattainable.

She knew that there would be a war between Northern Qi and Chen State, and she also knew that when that time came, she would probably become a sacrificial flag for Chen State.

But the Northern Qi Dynasty has no way to fight against the Chen Kingdom now. By then, not only the royal family but also the people of the world will suffer from the war. Even if they know that the Chen Kingdom is now busy fighting the Nanning Kingdom and may not attack, what does it matter?

Not only did the civil and military officials dare not gamble, even she herself did not dare to gamble.

A madman like Zhao Lianye is capable of doing anything. What if he really gave up the Kingdom of Nanning and turned around to attack Northern Qi?

Li Limu absolutely could not stand by and watch Northern Qi become the second Nanning Kingdom, with people's homes broken up, wives and children separated, and the land filled with smoke and war.

And then there is the inhumane massacre.

It's not like Zhao Lianye hasn't done this before. More than 20 years ago, he massacred two cities in Northern Qi.

She slowly closed her eyes, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly, as if ready to fly into the flame at any time, fearlessly heading towards the blazing fire.

The queen felt more and more uncomfortable, but at the same time, an indescribable sense of pride rose in her heart.

"Xiao Li, your mother has prepared something for you."

The Queen turned around, wiped her tears, then took out a small bottle and poured out a pill.

Her hands were shaking as she picked up the pill, and she fed it to Li Limu with tears in her eyes. Li Limu lowered his eyes and looked at it. He did not ask what it was, but swallowed the pill obediently.

"The Queen Mother is afraid of you. She won't even have the power to die."

"My daughter knows."

"This medicine will not take effect until three years later." The queen tightly grasped her hand, closed her eyes, and forced herself to be hard-hearted and said, "Mother, I don't know when the war will start, but I know that you will have a hard time in that place. If you can't survive, I will accelerate the effect of the medicine in advance."

"As for the antidote, Mother will tell you."

Li Limu's voice was cold and resounding: "Mother, as the daughter of the Li family and the princess of Northern Qi, I would rather die than be humiliated, and I would rather die standing than live on my knees."

When the mother and daughter were crying to each other, an uninvited guest broke in, and the palace servants behind him did not stop him.

Li Jinyu's hair was disheveled and her white and tender feet were covered in blood, which looked a little scary.

She rushed over and saw the bottle in the queen's hand. She bit her lips hard to suppress the uncontrollable anger in her heart.

"Someone, come and call the imperial physician." The queen noticed her injured foot at a glance, and asked the palace maids to prepare hot water and clean the wound when the imperial physician arrived.

Li Limu came back to his senses and bent down to check her injuries: "Why did you run over here without shoes? Let me see if it's serious and whether it will leave scars."

Sang'er, who had fallen behind, finally caught up. Seeing the chaos, he quickly apologized.

The queen did feel a little angry.

Li Jinyu was in poor health, so how could she run out without shoes in such weather?

"It's not Sonny's fault. She can't stop me."

After running all the way here, Li Jinyu's cheeks, which were just rosy, turned extremely pale. She took a deep breath and said word by word, "I'm going to marry."

Li Limu immediately became anxious and said, "Third sister, don't talk nonsense. This is not a good thing."

"I do not have."

"Sang'er, send the third princess back quickly."

"My mother is from Chen Country and is acquainted with the Emperor of Chen Country. It would be most appropriate for me to go."

Li Limu was stunned. She didn't know the inside story of many things, and the queen never told her about them.

Li Jinyu smiled at Li Limu, bowed to the Queen, and said softly, "Please forgive me, Mother. I didn't mean to eavesdrop that day, but it's better this way, so that I won't be kept in the dark and live in confusion."

She would rather die clearly than live in confusion.

Li Limu looked confused, and the queen was extremely conflicted.

"Mother, do I look like my mother?"

The queen nodded. This was the truth. The former Shufei had an extremely striking beauty, and Li Jinyu looked 60% like her when she first came to the palace.

Li Jinyu thought very clearly. Since her mother had used her to deal with her father, she would use her mother to deal with the emperor of Chen. She believed that with this face, as long as she made good use of it, her mother's family and the emperor of Chen would not allow her to be bullied.

The Kingdom of Chen wanted to marry the princess of Northern Qi, but they did not say which prince she would marry.

Seeing the hesitant queen, Li Jinyu gave her another drastic measure, playing the victim by saying that she herself was infected with a poisonous insect.

The old emperor has tried many ways over the years, but to no avail. Since the poisonous insect was given by the Chen Kingdom, he has to find a way to detoxify it.

Li Jinyu also suspected that the poisonous insect was originally prepared for Li Limu, or for the prince, but because her mother treated her like a sister and because she had caused Li Limu to have congenital deficiencies, she did not have the heart to do it, and finally put the poison on herself.

As for the other party's request to marry a legitimate princess, as long as she is registered under the name of the queen, she will also be considered a legitimate princess.

Only after this matter was settled did Li Jinyu breathe a sigh of relief.

She smiled at the girl next to her and said, "Li Limu, this time I don't owe you anything."

"You never owed me anything."

Li Jinyu did not comment. She was just thinking about what the old emperor said. In the end, her mother loved her.

A person suddenly flashed through her mind. After hesitating for a moment, she left the palace and headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
