Once upon a time, he was full of ambition and studied diligently, learning the ways of governing and ruling, and looking forward to making a difference after ascending the throne and benefiting the people...
But it was not until the poison took effect three years ago that he realized that those were just illusions. The imperial concubine had secretly put a slow-acting poison in his food when he was young. Although his father and he had been on guard against it, the medicine was colorless and odorless and did not take effect immediately.
In fact, he didn't show any symptoms until he was twenty years old.
It was not until the hunting trip when he suddenly became poisoned and heard the conversation between his fiancée and Xia Muyu that he realized that the poison had penetrated deep into his bones.
When he first gained a foothold in the mountain stronghold, he fantasized about curing his illness as soon as possible and returning to the palace to punish those evil people.
But he secretly consulted many good doctors and after they prescribed folk remedies, they all told him that there was no cure and no way to save him.
After hearing so much, he had no choice but to calm down and give up the thought of going back...
He had been preparing in the mountain stronghold for three years, building it up from scratch. He ignored the pain of his body being torn apart when the poison attacked on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and struggled to hold on. He built up a team from scratch, not to come back and take back the throne of the crown prince, but simply to wait for an opportunity to punish those who had harmed him.
Imperial Noble Consort, Xia Muyu, Bai Bingjing...
He thought over and over again that if he wanted to catch this group of people in one fell swoop, perhaps Xia Muyu's wedding day would be the most appropriate time.
Therefore, on the eve of Xia Muyu's wedding, he rarely came down the mountain in person and came to Kyoto and the Imperial Palace again after three years, in order to visit his father and to plan revenge on the day of the wedding in advance.
He had always known the gang's evil ambitions, but he had never imagined that they would dare to extend their claws directly to his father...
Moreover, they may have guessed long ago that once the news of the emperor's serious illness came out, he would most likely secretly return to the palace, so they had already laid a tight net in the palace.
He finally escaped from the palace and walked through the streets, preparing to go to the hiding place he had prepared in advance, waiting to carry out his revenge plan the next day...
But I never expected that teams of soldiers were rushing through the streets, as if something had happened or they were looking for someone.
Even though they tried their best to be careful, they were still discovered by the well-trained officers and soldiers. While dodging, he was also injured in order to protect his brothers who were not as strong as him.
Therefore, they had to change their plans temporarily and get back to the carriage and leave the city before anything happened.
However, he didn't expect that there was already someone hiding in the carriage - Li Shushu, who was about to become the third prince's consort.
On the eve of the wedding, the bride disappeared, which naturally caused a series of sensations. As a result, Xia Muyan was injured and his revenge plan was disrupted.
Her small action ruined his three-year-long plan.
To say I'm not angry would be a lie.
