As Li Jue's father-in-law, how could he not know the child's feelings?
This child must have felt that staying in the court would cause unnecessary trouble, which is why he thought of using the salt and iron issue as an excuse to escape...
Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow.
What a sensible child!
Having suffered such a great injustice, he didn't think about how to retaliate, but rather about escaping and enduring...
