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

Liu Tong: "Judging from the emperor's health, he can live for at least another twenty or thirty years. By then, the four princes in front will be old, while the fifth prince will be in his prime and have a better chance of ascending the throne than the others."

Liu Xin snorted, "I can't wait that long."

Therefore, it was just right for Prince Ning to deal with Prince An.

Liu Tong pouted and said, "Alright then."

Liu Xin: "The Sun family is too arrogant. We should curb their arrogance."

Liu Xin disliked the Sun family very much. Because the old lady had nursed the emperor, they considered themselves the emperor's nursing brothers and acted domineeringly without any bottom line.

They coveted Liu Xin's business in Yizhou, fabricated charges against her, and stole all her business there, even breaking the legs of the person in charge.

Fortunately, Liu Dong developed the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment, which helped the person in charge to reattach their legs.

Otherwise, he would remain paralyzed indefinitely.

Liu Xin had long wanted to deal with the Sun family, but the Sun family was so powerful that no one in Yizhou dared to oppose them.

Liu Xin could only tolerate their antics for the time being, and wait for an opportunity to uproot the Sun family completely.

Now that the opportunity has come, Liu Xin would be doing herself a disservice if she didn't get involved.

only……

As expected, Prince Ping didn't take her, his collaborator, seriously. He didn't even tell her about such a big thing as assassinating Prince Rui.

Liu Xin sneered.

Fortunately, she had withdrawn her feelings for Prince Ping, otherwise she would be hurt now.

Liu Tong placed the grilled meat slices into Liu Xin's bowl: "Sister, eat your meat. Don't get angry over irrelevant people."

Liu Xin smiled: "Yes, they are indeed unrelated."

She had originally planned to have Prince Ping be the father of her son, but now, forget it.

She didn't want to give birth to a son who inherited her love-obsessed mindset.

Although she felt disgusted, he was still her collaborator, and she would do her best to cooperate with him even if he hadn't told her about the plan.

Liu Tong then placed another piece of dried tofu on Liu Xin's plate.

The skin of the dried tofu has puffed up from roasting, and it looks delicious.

If only we had potatoes, roasted potatoes would be the best.

Hey, what's a potato?
Liu Tong shook his head, dismissing anything he didn't know and telling him not to interfere with his current life.

Liu Xin felt a little better after eating the grilled tofu.

She continued flipping through the booklet, treating the news inside as gossip, finding it increasingly interesting with each reading.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly respectable but old-fashioned Minister of Rites had an affair with his own sister-in-law, and the two even had a daughter together...

To avoid observing the mourning period, the head of the Hanlin Academy secretly held a funeral for his deceased mother and even found someone to impersonate her...

……

Liu Xin found it amusing, but she kept all the news in her heart.

By gaining leverage over these officials, one can further control them and the imperial court.

The emperor did indeed follow Prince Ping's plan and investigated Prince An and the Sun family.

The emperor treated the Sun family very well, provided that it did not harm the interests of the imperial family.

The Sun family has dared to assassinate a prince; how can the emperor tolerate this?

The emperor even suspected that the Sun family would try to kill him, the emperor, in order to make Prince An the emperor.

The emperor was determined to kill them, and the Sun family was doomed.

Everything the Sun family has is due to the emperor's favor. When the emperor takes back these favors, they will be nothing.

The Sun family collapsed like a house of cards.

Out of respect for the wet nurse, the emperor did not kill them, but exiled them to the border.

The wet nurse died on the day the soldiers stormed into the Sun family's house and ransacked it. Prince An was ordered to stay at home for six months, and his mother was demoted to the rank of Noble Lady.

The officials bribed by the Sun family were either demoted or killed, leaving no two alive.

The Anwang faction was almost completely wiped out.

Prince Ping and Prince Rui were reaping the benefits from behind.

Because King Ping had planned ahead, he absorbed most of King An's power.

However, a large portion of his power went to Liu Xin.

Liu's mother called Liu Tong and Liu Xin to her courtyard, dressed them in new clothes she had made, had the maids dress them up, and then gave them instructions on how to enter the palace.

As the year draws to a close, a palace banquet is held, and ministers attend with their families.

Since Liu's father had passed away, Liu's mother naturally could not attend the palace banquet. She could only ask the old lady to bring her children to the banquet so that her children could make an appearance in front of the nobles of the capital.

At these palace banquets, time would be set aside for young ladies and gentlemen to showcase their talents and abilities. Of course, participation was voluntary. Those confident in their talents would actively participate, while those with little talent would not step forward to embarrass themselves.

Liu Xin: "Mom, you've said it so many times, I'm sick of hearing it."

Mother Liu: "I'm just afraid you might accidentally offend someone important."

Liu Tong: "Mother, our Liu family is a first-rate family in the capital. It's probably because others are wary of us and afraid of offending us, right?"

Mother Liu glared at Liu Qiu: "That's the first wife's family, we're the second wife's family. You better know your place and watch yourself."

Liu Dong quickly raised his hands to indicate his surrender.

After taking the two girls to the old lady's courtyard, Liu's mother begged the old lady to take good care of Liu Tong and Liu Xin.

The old lady naturally agreed, after all, they were her own grandson and granddaughter.

Moreover, they are rare twins, a boy and a girl, which is considered auspicious.

In the old lady's heart, Liu Tong and Liu Xin held a significant place, even more so than Liu Ying.

Don't be fooled by the old lady's doting affection for Liu Ying; it's all just a facade.

Part of the reason was to compete with Madam Liu.

Liu Ying smiled amicably at Liu Xin and Liu Dong.

She has no conflict of interest with the two men from the second wife's family, and she doesn't mind being on good terms with them.

The two responded with polite smiles.

Liu Ying: "Are Fourth Sister and Fifth Brother going to perform today?"

Liu Tong shook her head: "I don't have any outstanding talents, so I won't go on stage to make a fool of myself."

Liu Ying also knew that this cousin was a playboy who indulged in eating, drinking, and having fun. The second branch of the family did not expect him to bring honor to the family; they just wanted him to live a peaceful and law-abiding life.

Liu Ying looked at Liu Xin.

Liu Xin smiled and said, "I'll play the piano. What about Second Sister?"

Liu Ying: "I write."

Liu Tong and Liu Xin exchanged a glance. Given Liu Ying's personality, it was impossible for her to put on such a low-key performance as just writing.
Later, after seeing Liu Ying's performance, they realized they were still too inexperienced.

They can even make writing so creative.

Prince Rui was waiting at the palace gate, and as soon as he saw Liu Ying, he came over.

The old lady patted Liu Ying's shoulder affectionately, then left first with Liu Tong and Liu Xin, leaving Liu Ying in Prince Rui's care.

They hadn't walked far when they encountered King Ming and Liu Yun.

The Ming King showered Liu Yun with concern and care, revealing the deep affection between them.

Liu Yun was a clever woman who knew how to do things in her own best interest. Since she had married Prince Ming, she had to hold onto his heart tightly.

Therefore, she was tender and affectionate towards King Ming, which made King Ming even more infatuated with Liu Yun.

For the past few months, except for the days when Liu Yun was menstruating, Prince Ming had been staying in Liu Yun's courtyard, which made the other women in Prince Ming's mansion extremely jealous. (End of this chapter)
