After watching the whole thing, the participant couldn't help but shout "So cool!" but quickly became so ashamed that he wanted to disappear.
Compared to Qi An, she did a terrible job on the same task.
She was not unaware of the disappearances of girls and children within the territory of Dacheng, nor was she unaware of the Grand Preceptor's unusual behavior.
But all she could think about was how to torture herself and commit suicide so that the scumbag would regret it.
To paraphrase what the wealthy tycoon said to her: "You brain-dead idiot, your brain and your vision combined aren't even as big as a walnut."
The person who criticized them seems to be quite right.
And after she faked her death, did Yuan Bai really regret it?
The mission taker glanced at Yuan Bai, who looked dejected. She thought he must be truly regretting it now!
Yuan Bai was truly filled with remorse.
He watched helplessly as the mysterious and ethereal woman stood there receiving the worship of the crowd, even his father, the emperor, looked on with a cautious and ingratiating expression.
Regret slowly eroded Yuan Bai's heart.
Just one day, and he would still be the goddess's rightful fiancé.
With her extraordinary abilities and her father's obedience to her, why would he need to fight for the throne?
Whoever the goddess says will be the next emperor, that person will definitely be emperor!
However, at this time yesterday, he personally went to the palace to annul the engagement, and made it known to everyone.
His fiancée is now...
Yuan Bai glanced at Yun Jinxiu, who was lying on the ground looking neither human nor ghost.
Bald, disfigured, with severed tendons in all four limbs, and on top of that, he offended the goddess...
Yuan Bai closed his eyes in despair, overwhelmed by regret that made it hard for him to breathe.
He kept wishing that the engagement hadn't been called off yesterday.
This is my savior! Why didn't I stand up to protect her back then?
Compared to Yuan Bai, Yun Zhihong regretted it even more, so much so that he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Yan'er, Yan'er, look at your father. Your father was also deceived by that evil Taoist priest. Please forgive your father. I am your own father."
If he hadn't done those things, Yun Zhihong, as the goddess's biological father, couldn't even imagine how high his future status would have been.
There's no need to participate in any power struggles or factions; with a goddess emerging, the Yun family will remain at the top for hundreds of years.
"Shameless old thief, I spit on you!"
Without Qi An even needing to intervene, Fu Gui, disguised as Cai Die, jumped out and spat in Yun Zhihong's face.
After spitting out the insult, Fugui recounted with great emotion all the things the Prime Minister's mansion had done to Yunyan and her daughter over the years.
The people who had eaten a big bite of the melon were discussing it animatedly.
Although there is a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, it is indeed rare to see an illegitimate daughter treated worse than a servant. That family of four was no good.
The most outrageous thing is that in the end, they even colluded with outsiders to burn their daughter alive, treating her as a monster.
If the goddess hadn't awakened at the last moment, they would have succeeded, and they would have earned a reputation for upholding justice even at the cost of their own family.
After Fu Gui finished cursing, he stood next to Qi An.
Qi An did not express his opinion, but turned to ask the emperor, "What does Your Majesty think?"
The emperor understood immediately.
"Ahem, Prime Minister Yun is getting old, his eyesight is failing, and his mind is not clear anymore. He should retire here."
In the blink of an eye, he was stripped of his power, going from prime minister to commoner. Unable to accept this reality, Yun Zhihong coughed up a mouthful of blood again.
The three women, including Han, burst into tears, apologizing and begging for forgiveness from Qi An as they cried.
After demoting Yun Zhihong, the emperor's eyes lit up, and he said to Qi An ingratiatingly:
"The evil spirits have been vanquished, and the position of Imperial Preceptor is currently vacant. Would the Goddess be willing to fill the vacancy?"
Qi An frowned and refused outright: "No, I feel unlucky just hearing the words 'Imperial Advisor'."
The common people also felt it was bad luck, and it is estimated that for a long time to come, they will have nightmares whenever they hear the words "Imperial Preceptor".
The emperor racked his brains and said anxiously, "Then let her be the Goddess of the Nation, with a rank equivalent to a prince, what do you think?"
Qi An finally nodded reluctantly, and the emperor rubbed his hands together with joy.
"This must be the Goddess's mother. By imperial decree, she shall be granted the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady and a separate residence for the Goddess and her consort."
"Um, Your Majesty..."
Unable to contain his true nature, Fu Gui rubbed his fingers together, signaling to the emperor.
"Could you please give us something more substantial? Look how thin our goddess is; she's starving because she can't get enough to eat at the Prime Minister's residence."
So the emperor waved his hand and bestowed dozens more chests of gold upon the emperor.
At this moment, Cai Die, who was praying for her daughter in the temple, unknowingly had her identity changed once again.
She rose from a lowly foot-washing maid to a first-rank imperial consort in a meteoric rise.
Yuan Bai was truly unwilling to give up, so he walked up to Qi An and gazed at her with deep affection.
"Yan'er, I'm so glad you're alright. Do you know how scared I was just now? I... ah..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qi An impatiently waved his hand, and Yuan Bai was sent flying by an invisible force.
It hit Yun Jinxiu squarely, face to face with her.
Qi An said coolly, "Your wife is over there, so don't try to ruin my reputation."
Knowing he was in the wrong, the emperor kept smiling apologetically, not daring to utter a single word.
Qi An, along with the bewildered Zhen Caidie, moved into the incomparably luxurious Goddess's Mansion.
Hearing the pretty and obedient maids address her as "Madam" one after another, Cai Die was terrified and followed Qi An closely.
She had suffered half her life and thought that the days before were already good enough, but she never expected things to get even better.
Qi An held her hand: "From now on, you are the master of this mansion, and you have no relation to the Yun family. You can make your own decisions in everything."
You're only in your thirties, you have a long life ahead of you. Whether you want to live a carefree life on your own or find a partner is up to you.
Finally, she said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Cai Die burst into tears instantly, burying her face in Qi An's arms and crying her heart out.
She wasn't stupid; there were some things she vaguely understood.
But she felt she had to live happily and joyfully to live up to her daughter's expectations.
Yun Zhihong lost his official position and all his money when he set a trap for Qi An. The family of four was now poor and disabled.
Han's family didn't care about them either. Her viciousness became widely known, and the women of the Han family were also the subject of gossip.
In addition, everyone knows that she has offended the goddess, and the Han family is trying to avoid suspicion and would be happy if she died quickly.
They sold all their jewelry to rent a small courtyard to live in.
Unable to afford a doctor to treat their injuries, they could only lie paralyzed on their dirty and smelly beds every day, hysterically blaming each other.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The old emperor shamelessly visited several times before Qi An finally rewarded him with a single pill.
It was leftovers from the wealthy and powerful, just scraped off some scraps, and the old emperor looked several years younger after eating it.
The emperor became increasingly respectful to Qi An, even consulting her on matters concerning the succession.
"Goddess, which of my two sons do you think is suitable to take over my responsibilities?"
Qi Anxin thought to himself, "No one can."
One will soon die of the plague, and the other will be killed by her.
She avoided answering, only smiling and saying, "Your Majesty is young and vigorous, why bother with things that are not yet established? In my opinion, you are the most suitable."
The emperor couldn't stop smiling; he felt extremely comforted by Qi An's words.
If the goddess says this, doesn't it mean that he still has a long life ahead of him?
Qi An added, "The throne is of utmost importance. Having only two candidates is too limiting. If there were more, we could definitely choose the most outstanding one."
The emperor felt his vibrant body and instantly understood.
"Thank you for your guidance, Goddess. I understand now."
Then she rushed back to the palace to give birth.
Qi An looked in the direction of the Hidden Prince's Mansion: "Next, it's your turn."
