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

The Ninth Princess made no attempt to conceal her talents in front of the Liu family.

The Liu family highly recognized his talent.

Regardless of gender, in the eyes of the Liu family, the Ninth Princess truly has the potential to become a wise and benevolent ruler throughout the ages.

If they could help a great emperor to become a legendary ruler, they would be remembered in history.

The temptation is immense.

However, they still have to consider their families.

If the Ninth Princess fails to ascend to the throne, the Liu family, as her in-laws, will suffer a devastating blow.

For the sake of their family, everyone hesitated.

Liu Dong's words reassured everyone.

The Ninth Princess has a destiny bestowed upon her, which greatly increases her chances of success.

Well then, let's take the gamble.

The Liu family secretly sent their younger members out of the capital to a small town in the south.

After that, everyone in the Liu family devoted themselves to helping the Ninth Princess seize power.

The emperor saw that the Ninth Princess was seizing power, but he did not stop her. His health was deteriorating, and his youngest son had not yet come of age.

Therefore, it would be better to hand over the entire court to the Ninth Princess.

The emperor planned to make his five-year-old eleventh son the crown prince and the ninth princess the regent princess.

But just as he wrote the imperial edict, the Ninth Princess came to find him.

The Ninth Princess waved her hand, and all the palace maids except for the Emperor's trusted chief eunuch withdrew.

The emperor's pupils contracted, never expecting that everyone around him was under the control of the Ninth Princess.

This daughter is far too capable.

The Ninth Princess spoke up: "Father, do you really think that my eleventh brother can secure the throne?"

The emperor stared at the Ninth Princess: "What are you going to do?"

Ninth Princess: "I want to be the Empress!"

The Emperor: "You are a woman."

Ninth Princess: "Wu Zetian was also a woman."

The Emperor said, “You are already married. The throne can only belong to the Situ family; it cannot be given to the Liu family.”

The Ninth Princess smiled: "My child will also carry the blood of the Situ family. Moreover, I will let him take the Situ surname and continue the Situ family line. What do you think?"

emperor:"……?!"

The emperor pondered carefully.

This is indeed a solution.

Looking at his trusted confidants, and then thinking about how the Ninth Princess's people were all outside the house...

The emperor knew that without the Ninth Princess's permission, his edict appointing the Crown Prince would never be sent out of the palace.

Even if the eleventh prince ascends the throne, the ninth princess, with her abilities, could depose him and take the throne herself.

At that time, I'm afraid even the eleventh prince's life wouldn't be spared.

The Emperor said, "Even if I were to make you the Crown Princess, those guys in the court would still object."

Ninth Princess: "Father, rest assured, I have a way to deal with this."

The Ninth Princess had long ago secretly seized power from Princess Zhaohua, and now all the women in the ministers' harems obeyed her.

The Ninth Princess has already given orders to those women: anyone who dares to oppose her in court will be prevented from ever appearing in court again.

They will suffer all sorts of "accidents," and then someone will proclaim that the Ninth Princess is destined by heaven. They oppose the Ninth Princess and are rejected by the heavens, which is why they suffer all kinds of misfortunes.

The ministers did not believe these rumors, but believed that it was the Ninth Princess who had secretly done it.

But the people believe it.

The people believed that the Ninth Princess was the chosen one and that she should become emperor. The ministers, having been terrified of being manipulated, simply pretended to be confused and accepted the Ninth Princess as the crown princess.

The Ninth Princess successfully ascended to the throne and helped the Emperor handle the aftermath of Prince Cheng's affair.

Prince Cheng and his sons all died, each given a cup of poison.

The Ninth Princess did not go so far as to kill them all. She spared the lives of several of Prince Cheng's grandsons and granddaughters, gave them some property, and sent them out of the capital.

With that wealth, as long as they behaved themselves, they could live a comfortable life of modest wealth.

Princess Zhaohua died in prison. She was already poisoned and her body was on the verge of collapse. When she saw the Ninth Princess leading her entourage in high spirits at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, she was provoked and collapsed, never to rise again.

Life in prison was nothing more than a prolonged, miserable existence.

After all, they are of royal blood, so even if they are imprisoned, their treatment is different from that of ordinary people.

As a result, her body managed to hold on for quite some time.

When the news of the Ninth Princess being made Crown Princess arrived, Princess Zhaohua could no longer bear it. She cried out, "I am not reconciled!" and then breathed her last.

The Ninth Princess admired Princess Zhaohua quite a bit and had her buried with great ceremony.

The next day, a lame man built a thatched hut in front of Princess Zhaohua's tomb and lived there to guard the tomb.

This cripple was none other than Yi Sidao.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the emperor summoned the Marquis of Zhenyuan for a private audience.

Marquis Zhenyuan relinquished his military power and submitted his resignation to the emperor, intending to return to his hometown with his family.

The emperor agreed and handed Yi Sidao over to the Marquis of Zhenyuan for handling.

Marquis Zhenyuan used family law on Yi Sidao, breaking one of his legs and then expelling him from the house.

Originally, Marquis Zhenyuan intended to personally end the life of this unfilial son, but Yi Sidao's grandmother and mother did their best to protect him, leaving Marquis Zhenyuan with no choice but to spare Yi Sidao's life.

Yi Sidao was truly devoted to his love. Upon hearing that Princess Zhaohua had died, he came to guard her grave.

Upon receiving the news, the Marquis of Zhenyuan was so angry that he nearly fell backward.

How could this son be so useless? He almost ruined his family for a woman, and instead of repenting, he went to guard someone's tomb. Does he think the emperor won't be angry with the Zhenyuan Marquis's family?

Fortunately, the emperor had already gotten what he wanted and didn't care about a lovesick fool like Yi Sidao, so he didn't interfere in the matter.

When the Ninth Princess learned of this, she sent Princess Zhaohua and Yi Sidao's daughter to Yi Sidao's side so that the father and daughter could be reunited.

After obtaining the Ninth Princess's permission, Liu Dong went to see Liu Muxi.

The Ninth Princess was surprised: "You actually knew?"

Liu Dong: "I knew it when they faked their death."

Ninth Princess: "Then aren't you going to expose me?"

Liu Tong chuckled: "Why expose him? Liu Muxi wants to get rid of the Liu family, so naturally I will grant his wish. He is not a docile person, and to avoid bringing disaster to the Liu family, it is best to let him leave the Liu family."

Ninth Princess: "How old were you back then? How could you make such a calm decision?"

Liu Tong: "Isn't this the reason you asked me to collaborate?"

Ninth Princess: "Could it be that you also have memories of a past life?"

Liu Tong: "What do you think?"

Ninth Princess: "Hmm, you don't."

Liu Dong went to the prison.

The jailers all left, leaving Liu Dong and Liu Muxi some space.

Liu Muxi glared at Liu Qiu, making a hissing sound, but she couldn't speak.

His vocal cords broke.

Liu Tong spoke up: "I know you are Liu Xuan, and so does the Crown Princess. That's why you can no longer speak. Neither the Crown Princess nor I will allow you to be involved with the Liu family."

Liu Tong: "The Liu family has finally risen again; we cannot let it fall again because of you alone." (End of Chapter)
