A year after the Hua family's misfortune, Consort Chen died in despair.
She left behind her four-year-old son, Lin Muheng, who was bullied.
Before Hua Yu died, she begged the emperor for a favor.
Out of consideration for Consort Chen's past relationship, the Emperor granted her request.
After Hua Yu's death, Princess Xiang boldly asked the Emperor to take Lin Muheng in and raise him.
The emperor was furious: "My son doesn't need to be supported by his younger siblings."
The Prince of Xiang was also severely reprimanded by his elder brother, the Emperor, who asked him if he had ill intentions and if he wanted to use his son for scheming.
The Prince of Xiang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and cried out that he was wronged.
He liked his nephew Lin Muheng, but it wasn't worth sacrificing the Prince of Xiang's mansion.
The matter of adopting Lin Muheng was thus dropped.
The emperor raised Lin Muheng under the empress's care.
The empress was not a magnanimous person.
The Empress had no interest in raising the son of her former favorite concubine.
She has a son of her own.
However, she dared not disobey the emperor, so she had no choice but to bring Lin Muheng to live with her.
They called it raising him, but it was really just about feeding him; they never cared whether he lived or died.
It was only a year after Consort Chen's death that the emperor suddenly remembered this son.
For some reason, they sent Lin Muheng to Master Qimiao's side.
He was not brought back to the palace until he was twelve years old.
Royal children mature early, and twelve-year-old Lin Muheng is no longer the prince who was bullied by everyone.
He learned martial arts skills during his seven years with Master Qi.
His martial arts skills made him stand out among the many princes.
He will soon be able to stand on his own.
The emperor then sent him to the military camp for further training.
They showed absolutely no regard for his status as a prince.
On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes; what if you die in battle one day?
Only then did the empress and concubines finally feel relieved.
The emperor truly didn't care whether his son lived or died.
Everyone could see clearly that Lin Muheng had no interest in that position.
The spies sent out returned one after another to report that the Fifth Prince was truly fighting desperately on the battlefield.
The Crown Prince and the other princes were relieved. If Lin Muheng were to die, what would he use to fight for the throne?
Later, the crown prince would inexplicably fall ill.
The Empress was also exhausted.
At this moment, the Empress remembered Lin Muheng's good qualities.
Although the Empress raised Lin Muheng for only a year, the bond between mother and son remained.
The Empress set her sights on Lin Muheng.
As long as Lin Muheng can assist the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince's position will be further guaranteed.
