Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

The game company opened its doors, choosing a location in a mountain range some distance from the Sea of ​​Death.

The group bought the mountain range.

Because it's a barren mountain, there aren't many monsters or spiritual herbs there, so the prices are very cheap.

The group began to transform the barren mountain, and it took them three whole years to complete the transformation.

After the renovation was completed, it was ready to be opened to the public.

Liu Tong came up with an idea: everyone printed small leaflets and hired people to distribute them in various cities.

Because distributing flyers was something that had never happened before, people in this world found it novel. After receiving the flyers, they did not throw them away, but carefully read all the contents.

After reading the above, some people became interested.

After all, it can improve one's mood and also provide entertainment to pass the time.

Such a novel experience is bound to be appealing.

A few days later, guests arrived.

Liu Tong and Liu Hui, as NPCs, followed the guests into the illusion.

The guest requested the fantasy world depicting the power struggles between the imperial harem and the imperial court.

He did not reveal his identity, but Liu Hui recognized him as the Third Prince.

This third prince was the son of the Imperial Concubine, and because his mother was favored, he was also very much liked by the Emperor.

The emperor did not designate a crown prince, and the third prince was a strong contender for the throne.

He chose to remain the Third Prince in the illusion, the son of the Imperial Concubine, and the prince favored by the Emperor.

The illusion began the moment the Third Prince was born.

The moment he entered the illusion, his own memories were sealed, and he truly believed that he was the Third Prince in the illusion.

The setting of this illusion is an ordinary ancient world, without high combat power. Liu Dong and Liu Hui, as NPCs, cannot use cheats.

Liu Tong was the maternal uncle of the Third Prince and a scholar.

Liu Hui was the companion of the Third Prince. At the age of fifteen, he joined the army, went to the border, and became a general.

Although the Third Prince's memories were sealed, he still possessed an adult mindset and was born with knowledge.

Because he was a child, his mother and father sometimes spoke and acted without his knowledge, which allowed him to learn about some of their secrets.

His good father, on the surface, doted on his mother and him, but in reality, they were just pawns pushed out by the emperor to shield him and his beloved son.

The emperor's true love came from a humble background; she was a palace maid who gave birth to the fifth prince, yet she only managed to obtain the rank of Noble Lady.

The emperor feared that if he favored Consort Su and the Fifth Prince too much, it would provoke other women in the harem to kill Consort Su and her son. Therefore, he appointed a Noble Consort and her son to protect them from disaster.

The imperial concubine came from a high-ranking family; her father was the prime minister, who held most of the power in the court.

Even if he didn't use her as a shield, the emperor still had to act good to the imperial concubine in order to win over her family.

The emperor acted as if he intended to make the third prince the crown prince, which caused both the inner palace and the court to target the concubine and her son.

The imperial court had the Su family's help to protect it, while the harem relied entirely on the Imperial Concubine.

Even though the Imperial Concubine was very capable, there were times when she couldn't protect everyone, which caused the Third Prince to suffer three times.

One night, while he was asleep, someone secretly opened the window and pulled back the covers, causing the Third Prince to suffer from severe typhoid fever.

Fortunately, the imperial physician they found was from the Su family, and the third prince recovered.

Once, the three-year-old Third Prince was thrown into a pool.

The third prince could swim and swam to the shore by himself.

On another occasion, the Third Prince's food was poisoned...

Fortunately, the third prince survived all three calamities.

The third prince finally experienced how terrifying palace intrigue can be; one wrong move and you could lose your life.

These are experiences he could never have had in his own world's palace. This world reveres force, and even the harem follows this rule.

The imperial concubines had a martial arts mindset; they confronted each other directly and rarely used such underhanded methods.

This is also why Liu Dong and Liu Hui easily poisoned and killed the former emperor.

Let's get back to the topic.

After realizing that he was merely a pawn put forward by the emperor, the third prince lost all affection for the emperor and began to harbor thoughts of replacing him.

The Third Prince's best allies were his maternal relatives, his maternal grandfather, the Prime Minister, and his several uncles.

Liu Tong has entered officialdom through the imperial examination and has become one of the Third Prince's assistants.

Liu Hui, who was also a study companion, gained military power on the border and became an ally of the Third Prince.

The third prince was just waiting for the right moment to force his way to the throne.

Meanwhile, the matter of Consort Su and her son was left to be dealt with by the Imperial Concubine.

The Imperial Concubine was very cunning. After learning from her son that Consort Su was the Emperor's true love, the Imperial Concubine began to plot against Consort Su.

Not long after, Consort Su became pregnant.

The other women in the harem began to scheme against Consort Su, determined to get rid of the child in her arms.

But with the emperor's protection, Consort Su managed to keep her pregnancy intact until childbirth.

As a result, Su Gui gave birth to a freak without hands and feet, and the baby died immediately after birth.

Consort Su also suffered postpartum hemorrhage and died not long after.

The fifth prince, on the other hand, had an accident while hunting with the emperor. He was chased by a pack of wolves and fell off a cliff.

Whether this was an accident or not, everyone knows the answer.

Having dealt with the two greatest threats, the mother and son turned their attention to their greatest enemy: the emperor.

When the emperor came to her palace, the imperial concubine poisoned his food.

She took the antidote beforehand, thinking she wouldn't be poisoned.

The emperor has fallen, and the third prince has sent Liu Hui, who led troops into the capital, to control the ministers. With the support of the prime minister, he is about to ascend the throne.

Just then, the emperor, who had been poisoned and unconscious, reappeared in the palace in good health.

The leader of the Imperial Guards immediately betrayed Liu Hui, killed him, and took control of the ministers from the Prime Minister's faction.

The imperial concubine was poisoned on the spot.

It turned out that the emperor already knew that the concubine had poisoned the food. The emperor himself had also taken the poison and had someone add another kind of poison to the food.

The emperor is fine, but the imperial concubine has been poisoned.

The emperor told the imperial concubine the truth: Consort Su was not actually his true love.

Consort Su and her son were merely bait for the Imperial Concubine and her son, intended to entice them to act in concert with the Prime Minister, so that the Emperor could determine how many people belonged to the Prime Minister's faction.

The Imperial Concubine and the Third Prince thought they were the orioles, but in reality, the Emperor was the hawk, who had been eyeing the orioles for a long time.

Having learned the truth, the Imperial Concubine and the Third Prince understood that their defeat was not unjust.

None of them were as cold-blooded and cunning as the emperor, who would even scheme against his own son for the throne.

The third prince drank the poisoned wine, and everything went black before his eyes. When he opened them again, he was out of the illusion.

He didn't move, carefully recalling everything in the illusion.

He felt he had learned a lot.

The most important point is: to get a position, you need not only strength, but also brains.

In addition, could he, the third prince, also be a target set up by his father?
It seems we need to investigate this carefully.

The Third Prince felt that many things he couldn't understand before were now suddenly clear. (End of Chapter)
