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

Liu Tong hadn't expected that the people around the Ninth Princess were so capable that they would actually come to her door.

Palace servant: "Young Master Liu, my master requests your presence."

Liu Tong: "..."

Liu Dong gave the young girl face and followed the palace servants to the restaurant, where they entered a private room.

Only Princess Jiu was in the private room; everyone else was outside.

Liu Dong looked at the little girl.

The young girl blushed and said, "Young Master Liu, please sit down."

Liu Dong sat down and asked directly, "May I ask what business this young lady has with me?"

Seeing Liu Tong's directness, the Ninth Princess smiled and said directly, "I admire you, young master, and I want you to be my husband."

Liu Tong: "I am grateful for your kind attention, Miss, but I have no intention of getting married."

Ninth Princess: "Young Master Liu, please don't refuse yet. Do you know my identity?"

Liu Tong: "I don't know."

Ninth Princess: "I am the Ninth Princess."

Liu Tong cupped her hands in greeting: "This humble subject pays respects to the Princess."

The Ninth Princess waved her hand and said, "No need for formalities. I'm telling you my identity so that you know that becoming my consort is your best choice."

Ninth Princess: "Your Liu family was punished by the late emperor, and for five generations, they have been barred from taking the imperial examinations and holding official positions. Your family has a long history of scholarship, and you are exceptionally talented, yet you cannot serve in the government. It is truly a great injustice to you. But by becoming my consort, even without real power, you will have an official position and will be able to see my father more often. With your talent, you should be able to gain my father's appreciation. Once you rise above others, your children, nephews, and relatives will also benefit."

The prospects described by the Ninth Princess were excellent. If it were any other member of the Liu family, they would have been tempted long ago and would have eagerly agreed to the Ninth Princess's proposal.

But Liu Dong was different; he extracted the key points from the Ninth Princess's words.

In just a few days, the Ninth Princess had thoroughly investigated his identity, which shows that she was no ordinary person and had her own power.

And she wants to marry me after only meeting me once...

Is it for the sake of the entire Liu family?

Although he has retired from the court, his connections remain.

My great-uncle was a leading figure in the Shilin community back then, with many students.

Currently, several high-ranking officials in the imperial court are his great-uncle's students.

The Liu family has an excellent reputation among Confucian scholars, and having their support indirectly means having the support of the entire Confucian community.

Is this Ninth Princess a spy for one of the princes?
Liu Dong picked up the teapot, poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said calmly, "Ninth Princess, let's get straight to the point. What do you want?"

The Ninth Princess's expression changed; it was no longer that of a young girl in love, but rather carried a depth that was incongruous with her age.

“Liu Tong, I’m making a deal with you, but it’s just me.”

Liu Tong raised an eyebrow.

A girl of fifteen or sixteen possesses the depth of a woman in her forties or fifties. The Ninth Princess before us is no ordinary person. Has she been reborn?
Liu Tong: "Ninth Princess, what kind of deal do you want?"

Ninth Princess: "I need the Liu family's connections. Once I ascend to the throne, I will exonerate the Liu family and enable their descendants to take the imperial examinations and enter officialdom."

Liu Tong: "These are very good conditions. However, Ninth Princess, you are a woman, how can you rise to the position?"

Ninth Princess: "So what if she's a woman? Wu Zetian still became empress, didn't she?"

Liu Dong: "Why me?"

"Because you didn't exist in my past life, you are the variable in this life, so naturally I have to hold on tight."

The Ninth Princess spoke so softly that it was barely louder than a mosquito's buzz, thinking that no one but herself could hear her. But how could she hide it from Liu Qiu, whose senses were so sharp?

Liu Dong confirmed the origins of the Ninth Princess.

The Ninth Princess raised her voice and said, "Because you're the only member of the Liu family in the capital." Liu Qiu: "What if I don't agree?"

Instead of answering, the Ninth Princess asked, "How was the tea?"

Liu Tong: "You put something in the tea?"

Ninth Princess: "The Three Corpse Brain God Pill. Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, you must take the temporary antidote, which will keep you safe for a year and prevent the toxins from recurring. If you do not have the antidote, the corpse worms will enter your brain and devour it completely."

Liu Dong didn't know how to complain.

He wanted to ask the Ninth Princess how she obtained the Three Corpse Brain God Pill.

Before her rebirth, was she a member of the Sun Moon Cult?
Liu Tong pretended to be frightened, wanting to see what the Ninth Princess would do.

Liu Tong was not afraid of the Three Corpse Brain God Pill. As a reincarnated master who possessed all the inheritances of the Xiaoyao Sect, Liu Tong had plenty of ways to remove the Three Corpse Brain God Pill from his body.

Liu Tong: "I can cooperate with the princess, but let's skip the marriage."

Ninth Princess: "I didn't expect you to be so indifferent to fame and fortune. Fine, then we don't need to talk about our marriage. But you have to give me a son from the Liu family as a husband."

Liu Tong: "My second brother is already married, but my nephew is about your age."

Ninth Princess: "Your good brother's son?"

Hearing the deeper meaning in her tone, Liu Dong asked, "What does the princess know?"

Ninth Princess: "Your eldest brother didn't die, but changed his identity and is now an official in the court."

Liu Tong: "Oh."

Ninth Princess: "Aren't you surprised?"

Liu Tong: "Given my elder brother's personality, it's normal for him to fake his death and change his identity. He's obsessed with the imperial examinations and is selfish. It's normal for him to abandon his parents, wife, and children in order to pass the imperial examinations."

Ninth Princess: "But you're not normal at all."

Liu Tong: "Princess, you're not a normal person either."

The Ninth Princess laughed: "That's why I asked you to be my partner."

Liu Tong: "What kind of collaborator is threatened with poison?"

Ninth Princess: "There's no other way. If I don't do this, who will help a woman like me?"

Liu Tong sighed, not wanting to dwell on the matter of "a princess is a woman, and although the world is very lenient towards women, it is nothing short of a pipe dream for a woman to become an emperor."

Liu Tong: "Princess, I can help you, but I cannot stay at the Liu family's residence. I'm afraid the Liu family will not choose you."

Ninth Princess: "I have my own ideas. You just need to have your nephew marry me."

Liu Tong: "You don't intend to use the Three Corpse Brain God Pill to control the Liu family, do you? If you do that, I'll fight you to the death, even if it means my own demise."

Ninth Princess: "Do you think the Three Corpse Brain God Pill is so easy to refine? I spent ten years and still couldn't refine three pills. Don't worry, I want the Liu family to genuinely help me, but I don't want to offend the entire Liu family."

Liu Dong and the Ninth Princess reached an agreement.

The Ninth Princess thought she had completely controlled the negotiation. Little did she know that she had fallen under Liu Dong's hypnosis and revealed all her secrets.

The Ninth Princess is both a reincarnation and a time traveler.

However, she traveled to another world in the middle and then returned.

The Ninth Princess in her previous life had a tragic past. She was used as a pawn by her own brother, the Fifth Prince, and married off to the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, all for the Marquis's military power.

Unexpectedly, the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan was a favorite of Princess Zhaohua and had already pledged allegiance to Prince Cheng.

Prince Cheng planted spies around each of the princes to incite them to fight for power.

The fifth prince was very arrogant and died because of Prince Cheng's scheme.

Later, Prince Cheng successfully seized the throne. (End of Chapter)
