Perhaps, he should have been burned to death in that fire, which would have been the best ending for everyone. But because of that person's malicious trickery, he survived and was even grateful to him.
How ridiculous.
How can you expect him to let go and not carry the grudge into the next generation? How is that possible? He's been planning this for so long, how can he possibly let it go?
"Does Ah Li want to know why he would risk being scorned by the world to assassinate me?" Wen Shaoxing seemed to have thought of something very interesting, and before Yan Li could ask, he continued:
"Because he was a cripple who was incapable of having sex, even if he became emperor, he had no one to inherit his throne. In his old age, he could only hand over the throne, and he couldn't even find an adopted relative."

She had never seen so much money before, so she accepted it without the slightest hesitation.
It took Wen Shaoxing a while to react. He looked at Yan Li and chuckled, "Ah Li, we really are a match made in heaven."
