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

Ming Wang and Liu Jing were caught in bed together!
Because so many people saw it, the message wasn't contained and spread.

The whole capital city knew the news.

The Ming King claimed that he had been tricked, and the others believed him.

After all, everyone has discerning eyes. They know that the Ming King likes Liu Yun and wants to marry her. How could he possibly get involved with her half-sister before he has even married his goddess?

However, the Grand Princess sent people to investigate, but they found no clues whatsoever.

This made both the Grand Princess and the Emperor very angry and wary.

The emperor ordered his subordinates to continue investigating the matter, while he was to handle the aftermath for the Ming King.

Liu Jing has already lost her virginity to Prince Ming, so she is bound to enter Prince Ming's mansion.

However, she was only a concubine's daughter and could not become the Ming King's principal wife; she could only be a secondary wife.

What should be done about the King's principal wife?

The Ming Emperor said, “Your Majesty, I am in love with the eldest daughter of the Liu family. I beg you to grant us marriage and make the eldest daughter of the Liu family my principal wife.”

At this point, he disregarded Liu Yun's wishes and only hoped that the emperor would grant him a marriage as soon as possible.

After what happened, Liu Yun definitely wouldn't want to marry him.

Then he could only use imperial power to force Liu Yun.

The emperor scrutinized Ming Wang: "Do you really like Liu Yun that much?"

Was it not because of the Qin family's influence behind Liu Yun?
While Ming Wang certainly had the desire to gain the Qin family's influence, he also genuinely wanted to marry Liu Yun.

Liu Yun is the most beautiful woman in the capital. Marrying her would be such a prestigious thing!

emperor:"……"

The emperor finally realized that his eldest son was a fool.

Even Prince Rui could see his apprehension towards the Qin family, yet Prince Ming hadn't noticed at all!
Emperor: "Very well, I grant your wish. Liu Yun will be your principal wife. But Liu Jing cannot be a concubine..."

King Ming said, "Let her be a concubine."

Emperor: "Alright."

The imperial edict arrived at the Liu family that very day.

Liu Jing dressed up carefully and received the imperial decree along with the rest of the Liu family.

She wondered if she would be made a concubine.

She coveted the position of principal wife, but she also understood that with her status, she could at most become a prince's concubine.

Reality slapped her hard in the face.

The emperor bestowed upon Liu Yun the title of Princess Consort of Prince Ming, while Liu Jing was to follow Liu Yun into the Prince's residence as a concubine.

The expressions of the Liu family members varied, with Liu Yun and Liu Jing, the two people directly involved, looking the most unpleasant.

Madam Liu pulled Liu Yun back to her own courtyard, while Liu Jing knelt on the ground, ignored by everyone.

It was her maid who stepped forward to help Liu Jing up.

Liu Jing gripped the maid's wrist tightly, so tightly that it hurt.

She wanted to vent her emotions this way, since the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict had just left, and she couldn't show any dissatisfaction with the edict.

Liu Jing said softly, "I abandoned all sense of shame, and this is the result?! I'm not reconciled!"

The maid Banxia felt very sorry for her mistress. Moreover, not only was Liu Jing unwilling to accept it, but she was unwilling to accept it either!
How can a maidservant who serves as a concubine be better than a maidservant who serves as a secondary consort?

Banxia gritted her teeth, leaned close to Liu Jing's ear, and whispered something.

Liu Jing's eyes widened as she asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Banxia: "It's true. My uncle went to Wu County with the master's personal attendant to gather information. To keep it quiet, the master sent my uncle to a manor on the border. My uncle was unhappy, drank some wine, and then told me about it. I happened to be next to my uncle at the time and heard what he said."

Liu Jing gritted her teeth: "Fine, she, a lowly commoner, dares to step on my head..." Liu Jing: "Go and spread the word that Liu Yun is not of the Liu family bloodline."

Banxia agreed and immediately left the mansion to find someone to deliver the message.

Liu Yun had just been betrothed, a time when she was in the eye of the storm, so when news of her came out, everyone was naturally very interested.

Before long, the rumor spread throughout the capital, and even people in the palace knew about it.

The imperial concubine summoned her son: "My son, Liu Yun is not of the Liu family bloodline, she is not qualified to be your princess."

When it comes to the woman he likes, the Prince of Ming's mind works very fast: "Mother, although Liu Yun is not of Liu family blood, she is the daughter of the Liu family recognized by Lord Liu and Madam Liu. Madam Liu likes Liu Yun, her adopted daughter, even more than her biological daughter."

The Imperial Concubine thought it made sense. As long as Madam Liu and the Qin family recognized Liu Yun, Liu Yun's status would be more valuable than that of Liu Jing, a concubine's daughter.

The royal family remained indifferent to the rumors. Liu Jing, who was furious at not achieving her goal, saw Liu Jun storm into her courtyard in a rage.

How could Liu Yun not be angry?
She was already dissatisfied with being betrothed to Prince Ming, but Lady Liu persuaded her, saying that with the Qin family's power, they would definitely be able to put Prince Ming on the throne.

When Liu Yun became empress, she accepted the fact that she was to marry Prince Ming.

Then rumors spread that she wasn't of the Liu family bloodline...

Madam Liu treated her as usual, but what about the Qin family?

Would they support her mother, who has no Qin family bloodline?

Will they switch their support to Liu Ying and help Prince Rui ascend the throne?

Liu Yun gritted her teeth: This kind of thing absolutely cannot happen.

Before, she was afraid that Liu Ying would upset or anger Madam Liu, but now, she couldn't care less.

Liu Yun took out a porcelain bottle.

The bottle contains a kind of medicinal powder.

This powder is non-toxic, but those who ingest it should not smell the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

If one smells the fragrance of osmanthus, the medicinal powder will turn into a deadly poison, corroding the internal organs of the person taking the medicine. The imperial physicians will not be able to diagnose it and will only assume that the person taking the medicine is weak, which leads to the weakness of their internal organs.

Those who take traditional Chinese medicine will not live more than three months.

Three months later, she had joined the Ming Prince's Mansion and was no longer with the Liu family.

Liu Ying died suddenly. What does this have to do with her?
The Mid-Autumn Festival arrived, and Liu Yun had mooncakes made and sent some to everyone's courtyard.

Neither Liu Jing nor Liu Ying touched the mooncake; they gave it to the servants instead.

Liu Tong and Liu Xin ate happily.

Liu Yun had the chef use the best ingredients to make it, and it tasted really good.

In the evening, the two families gathered together for a family dinner, where they ate and admired the moon.

A gentle night breeze carries the sweet fragrance of osmanthus blossoms, a truly delightful experience.

No one talked about anything discouraging, and the family dinner came to a successful end.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Liu family began preparations for Liu Yun and Liu Jing to go out.

Madam Liu discovered that Liu Jing was the culprit who released the message, and originally wanted to teach Liu Jing a lesson.

Liu Yun stopped Madam Liu: "A mere flesh wound is too lenient on her."

Since Liu Jing is already considered a member of the royal family, the Liu family cannot kill her.

It's just a minor injury; it will heal after treatment.

How could Liu Yun possibly calm down?
When Liu Jing had her period, Liu Jun had someone make a strong safflower soup and fed it to her.

Liu Jing suffered a massive hemorrhage. Although the bleeding was eventually stopped, her body was severely damaged, and she lost her fertility.

Liu Yun: "If you don't have the ability, don't scheme against others!" (End of Chapter)
