The naive and innocent Xiao Sheng, with his childlike nature, didn't need to get up early and go to bed late to learn rules, thus unleashing his true nature.
Therefore, before going to Li Taifu's house, Xiao Sheng was a complete mess.
Fan Zuan thought Zhao Yunwan was too ruthless, especially since she fed him opium and let him live a life of pleasure at such a young age. It would be hard not to ruin someone like that.
Only after the crown prince was deposed did her son have the opportunity to ascend to the throne.
That's a brilliant plan.
Seeing her brother crying his eyes out, Xiao Yuyan felt even more hatred for Xiao Sheng.
I'll release the grass doll I'm holding tomorrow.
As Zhao Yunwan listened to her son's repeated cries, her heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.
She ruined Luo Bingqian, destroyed Tingquan Manor, and ruined Xiao Sheng.

If they do not listen, they will be slaughtered on the spot.
The four knew that the Wufang Pagoda was made by craftsmen themselves, every brick and piece of wood, to show the emperor's sincerity.
Currently, not even the foundation of the tower has been completed, and the emperor has only given three years. If it is not finished, no one will survive. So recently, the foreman has been going around arresting people. Criminals from any palace have been sent there, divided into two shifts, to work day and night.
The four men, who were full of vigor and high spirits in the morning, dreaming of a bright future, are now reduced to servants. It's truly laughable.
