Although Tao Yao has learned a lot about human relationships and social customs through the teachings of Liu Dong and Liu Zhuang, she is still a simple little demon, and she still solves many things in the simplest and most direct way.

Although the number of women in the Prince's mansion was fewer than in other people's harems, the infighting was no less intense.

Tao Yao, the concubine whom Prince Ning personally sought to marry, became a thorn in the side of all the women.

The princess was worried that Tao Yao would threaten her position, and the other women were jealous that Tao Yao was Prince Ning's favorite.

After Tao Yao entered the Prince's mansion, she was subjected to all sorts of attacks and framing.

Tao Yao used magic to neutralize the damage and retaliate.

As the incidents occurred more frequently, the conflicts between the two sides accumulated.

The women in the Prince's mansion wished they could kill Tao Yao.

They gradually discovered that Tao Yao was different and that she knew magic.

The women began spreading rumors that Tao Yao was a monster who used evil magic to bewitch Prince Ning, wanting to drain his life essence and ultimately kill him.

They thought Prince Ning would be afraid and would kill Tao Yao to save his own life.

Thinking of how Prince Ning protected Tao Yao, they traced the source of the rumors and found that they were the ones responsible.

Out of consideration for these women being the mothers of his children, Prince Ning did not kill them, but instead imprisoned them.

These women were confined in a courtyard and guarded from the outside to prevent them from causing any more trouble.

Prince Ning personally went to the Princess's courtyard and warned her.

The princess was also involved this time.

After Prince Ning left, the princess smashed her own dressing table.

However, the princess quickly regained her composure.

The princess instructed her trusted aide: "Have someone tell the eldest son that his mother is about to die!"

The eldest son of the Prince's Mansion is seven years old this year. He is the eldest son of Prince Shuning, born out of wedlock.

His biological mother was the daughter of Prince Ning's wet nurse, and she and Prince Ning were childhood sweethearts.

When Prince Ning was fifteen years old and began to take an interest in women, his eldest son's mother took the opportunity to climb into his bed and managed to conceive his child.

Because she gave birth to the eldest son of the Prince's family, this person held a very high position in the Prince's family.

Before Tao Yao entered the Prince's mansion, she was second only to the Princess.

She thought she would become a concubine, and that her son would eventually become the next master of the royal palace, at which point she would be the mistress of the palace.

But Tao Yao's appearance shattered her illusions.

Tao Yao became a concubine as soon as she entered the Prince's mansion. Given Prince Ning's favor towards her, their son might very well be the heir to the mansion.

How could she possibly tolerate it?

She had someone administer a slow-acting poison to Tao Yao, but Tao Yao discovered it and used magic to send the poison back to her, which she then ingested herself.

The princess knew that Tao Yao had suffered the consequences of her own actions by being slowly poisoned, but instead of kindly revealing the truth, she told the eldest son about the slow poisoning and implied that Tao Yao was the one who poisoned her.

The royal family has no children, and neither do the princes' palaces.

Although only seven years old, he has already lost the innocence and kindness of a child.

The eldest son understood that Tao Yao and her future child were his biggest threats, so he planned to get rid of them before Tao Yao gave birth.

The palace held a flower viewing party, which Prince Ning attended with his wife, Tao Yao, and his eldest son.

The princess was in a good mood. The person she had placed by the eldest son's side had already told her that the eldest son would make a move against Tao Yao during the banquet.

The eldest son's approach was simple and brutal. Seeing Tao Yao standing by the lake admiring the lotus flowers, he rushed over and forcefully pushed her into the lake.

Tao Yao was startled.

She is a tree. Although she needs water to grow, she is not an aquatic plant and does not need that much water!

And she can't swim!
Tao Yao panicked and exploded.

Everyone in the palace saw a pink light shoot into the sky, and then the light transformed into Prince Ning's concubine, who landed on the ground.

Everyone: "..." A god?!
The commotion was so great that even the emperor was alerted.

The emperor was getting old and was no longer the wise and powerful founding emperor he once was.

He has begun his pursuit of immortality.

Now that there is a being who seems to be a deity, how could the emperor not pay attention?

The emperor summoned Tao Yao and Prince Ning to his side.

Prince Ning would not let anyone know that Tao Yao was a demon. When the emperor asked, he would say that Tao Yao was a cultivator.

The emperor knew that cultivators of immortality existed in the world.

However, cultivators rarely venture into the mortal realm, making it difficult for him to find them.

Now that something has come to him of its own accord, how could the emperor let it go?

He asked Tao Yao for the method of achieving immortality.

Tao Yao shook her head and said truthfully, "The emperor does not allow immortality."

The emperor didn't believe it; he thought Tao Yao was fooling him.

However, Tao Yao's identity as a cultivator made him afraid to offend her, and he had to try his best to please her.

When the princess learned of Tao Yao's "identity," her face turned ashen.

She knew she probably couldn't keep her position as princess.

As expected, the emperor issued an edict making Tao Yao the principal wife of Prince Ning.

The princess was demoted to a concubine.

The princess couldn't bear this blow. She didn't care that Prince Ning didn't love her, because she didn't love Prince Ning either. She only cared about her own status.

But now, that status is gone.

This is the greatest insult to her.

The princess fell ill and passed away not long after.

Prince Ning adopted his eldest son to a member of the imperial family and expelled the eldest prince and his mother from the Prince Ning residence.

The eldest son and his mother were filled with regret, but there's no going back.

The emperor did not give up his plan to achieve immortality, and he sent people to find other cultivators.

He actually found one.

What he didn't know was that this wasn't a righteous cultivator, but a demon cultivator who had gone astray.

Although the demon cultivators couldn't see Tao Yao's true form, they coveted her spiritual power.

With all this spiritual power and flesh and blood now in his possession, he is sure to be able to advance to a higher realm.

The demon cultivator tricked the emperor, saying he could concoct an elixir of immortality for him, but he needed one crucial ingredient.

Emperor: "What medicinal herbs?"

Demon cultivator: "The flesh and blood of Princess Ning."

The emperor was shocked: "This...how can this be?"

The demon cultivator coaxed, "Your Majesty is unaware that the reason cultivators live so long is because their bodies are constantly nourished by spiritual energy, which is stored within them. The elixir of immortality requires a vast amount of spiritual energy, and without the flesh and blood of that princess, it cannot be refined."

Emperors are actually quite unscrupulous.

Yi Ya cooked his own son to please Duke Huan of Qi. Duke Huan found the flesh of a young child delicious and favored Yi Ya greatly, not thinking there was anything wrong with eating human flesh.

The current emperor is willing to abandon his morality in order to achieve immortality.

He wants to eat human flesh!
The emperor sent another reward to Prince Ning's residence, which no one found surprising.

Who can blame her when Princess Ning is a cultivator!

A high and mighty immortal actually married a mortal!
Prince Ning's luck is just too good! (End of Chapter)
