Princess Zhaohua was furious and wanted to kill the Ninth Princess.

Zhaohua County took the initiative to use her pawn in the Prince Consort's mansion.

As mentioned earlier, Princess Zhaohua looked down on the emperor's daughters, so she did not waste manpower to plant spies among the princesses.

As for the Liu family, Princess Zhaohua had planted spies in the Liu family, regardless of their status among scholars or the relationship between Liu Hu and Liu Muxi.

Liu Dongyi already knew the identity of the nail and told the Ninth Princess and Liu Hu about it.

The two did not remove the nail, lest they alert the enemy.

Moreover, leaving the exposed nails around might have some other effect.

Therefore, as soon as Princess Zhaohua gave the order, the Ninth Princess and Liu Hu knew about it.

The Ninth Princess turned the tables on Liu Hu, pretending to be poisoned and disappearing from public view. She secretly left the city with Liu Hu to send a message to troops in other places, leading them to the capital.

The emperor already knew about Prince Cheng and his daughter's plan to seize power and rebel during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In his previous life, Prince Cheng killed the emperor at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

The emperor in the previous life never imagined that Prince Cheng would rebel, and was completely unprepared, which is why Prince Cheng succeeded.

But in this life...

Using information from her past life, the Ninth Princess had her subordinates investigate Prince Cheng, and they easily found clues that Prince Cheng was about to take action.

When the emperor learned of this, he decided to play along and eliminate Prince Cheng's faction at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Although the Marquis of Zhenyuan was considered one of the emperor's men, after learning of the entanglement between his eldest son and Princess Zhaohua, the emperor abandoned his plan to bring the Marquis of Zhenyuan into his fold and instead sent people to keep an eye on the army under the Marquis of Zhenyuan's control.

Sure enough, the Marquis of Zhenyuan's army made a move.

It turned out that the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan had stolen the Marquis's military tally and gone to mobilize troops.

The emperor immediately issued an imperial edict and arrested the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

The emperor didn't kill him because he wanted to see how the Marquis of Zhenyuan would react.

If the Marquis of Zhenyuan were sensible, he should voluntarily relinquish his military power.

Mid-Autumn Festival arrived, and Princess Zhaohua forced herself to enter the palace with Liu Muxi.

She wanted to see Prince Cheng accomplish his goal with her own eyes.

After several rounds of drinks, Prince Cheng suddenly stood up, abandoning his usual timid demeanor and exuding an aura of absolute authority, appearing as if he were the only one worthy of respect.

"Brother, you have been emperor for so many years, yet you have accomplished nothing. Shouldn't you abdicate and hand over the throne to a more worthy successor?"

The hall fell silent immediately, and even the musicians in the corner stopped playing.

Everyone looked at Prince Cheng and the Emperor with worry, their hearts filled with sorrow.

Why are you here again?
Can't the royal family just shut up for once?

And they all insist on causing trouble on the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunion, deliberately trying to prevent them from celebrating!
The emperor, unperturbed by the questioning, calmly replied, "Abdicate in favor of a more worthy successor? To whom? You, my brother? I'm not saying this to be mean, but you are utterly incompetent and wicked, and have accomplished nothing in recent years. How can you be so confident that you can take my place?"

Prince Cheng sneered: "Because the palace is now under my control. Because I can kill you."

After saying that, he smashed the wine glass in his hand on the ground.

After the crisp sound, a group of soldiers in armor and carrying weapons rushed into the hall and took control of everyone inside.

Prince Cheng smiled and said, "Gentlemen, as long as you know what's good for you, I will not harm you or your families."

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, you royals can fight amongst yourselves; please don't harm these outsiders.

Seeing that the ministers were obedient, Prince Cheng was extremely pleased and said to the emperor, "Brother, look, the ministers aren't helping you. How unsuccessful you are as emperor."

The emperor snorted and wrote these ministers down in his notebook.

Some of these ministers were his confidants, who knew what was going to happen today, and that's why they were holding back. But the others, those cowards who were afraid of death, were no longer worth keeping around.

Princess Zhaohua frowned, a sense of unease creeping into her heart.

She spoke up to Prince Cheng, "Father, he might be stalling for time. Stop talking nonsense and kill him now."

Upon hearing this, Prince Cheng immediately picked up the longsword handed to him by his subordinate and thrust it towards the emperor.

With a clang, the longsword in Prince Cheng's hand was knocked away.

Liu Hu jumped down from the eaves and stood in front of the emperor.

Footsteps sounded outside the hall, and then another group of soldiers rushed in.

The one leading the group was none other than the Ninth Princess.

Seeing the Ninth Princess lively and energetic, Princess Zhaohua realized that her plan had failed.

I'm afraid the Emperor and the Ninth Princess have long suspected that they are from the Prince Cheng's Mansion.

The Ninth Princess's poisoning and today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet were nothing more than a scheme to bring down the Prince Cheng's mansion in one fell swoop.

Princess Zhaohua spat out a mouthful of blood, which was black.

She fell into Liu Muxi's arms, but Liu Muxi did not reach out to help Princess Zhaohua up.

His mind was racing, trying to figure out how to distance himself from Princess Zhaohua.

He was merely the son-in-law of Prince Cheng's household; how could the emperor trust Prince Cheng's schemes?

Um, how about we reveal our true identity?
He's the Ninth Princess's father-in-law!
He claimed that he was favored by Princess Zhaohua and forced to fake his death so that he could become Princess Zhaohua's husband.
Liu Muxi was thinking about his escape route, unaware that the Ninth Princess would never let anyone know his true identity.

The Ninth Princess glanced at her, and a soldier's sword sliced ​​across Liu Muxi's throat.

He wasn't killed, but Liu Muxi was no longer able to speak.

The Ninth Princess had wanted to get rid of Liu Muxi before, but this guy had been following Princess Zhaohua around, and the Ninth Princess couldn't find him, so she kept him until today.

Prince Cheng has been captured, and the emperor has won a great victory.

The officials knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"

The emperor immediately granted Liu Hu real power for his meritorious service in saving the emperor.

The ministers were all worried that the emperor would hold them accountable for their past behavior, so they dared not object.

From then on, the Liu family returned to officialdom.

Since there is a member of the Liu family who has become an official, the late emperor's decree forbidding the Liu family from holding office is now invalid.

The members of the Liu family took the imperial examination one after another, and with their abilities, they all passed.

Even Liu Huan, who considered himself less capable of studying than his brothers and nephews, passed the imperial examination and became a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examinations).

He did not choose to become an official, but instead inherited the academy and stayed in his hometown to manage the business.

My great-uncle passed away. His sons, disillusioned with officialdom, refused the emperor's invitation to reinstate them and instead sent their own sons to participate in the imperial examinations.

After the Liu family entered the imperial court, they brought a wave of assistance to the Ninth Princess.

Liu Hu had a deep conversation with his uncles and cousins, while Liu Dong listened quietly from the side.

When everyone was struggling to make a decision, Liu Dong spoke up.

"The Ninth Princess has the countenance of an emperor."

Liu's eldest cousin: "Little Eight, you can read faces?"

Liu Tong: "I've learned some. The Ninth Princess is blessed with good fortune; her future achievements will be extraordinary." (End of Chapter)
