The Empress Burns the Bridge After Crossing. I Ask Her Why She Rebelled

Because I grew up with the empress, I spent ten years bringing a century of peace to the Great Wu dynasty after she took the throne. But just as my work was done, the empress imprisoned me, leaving me a cripple. On the day she was to “take a consort,” I chose to relinquish my position as imperial consort, but the empress stopped me at every turn.

“Emperor Ruyan, do you think you can push me around?”

I am the First Prince. Whatever affection we had is over. You can climb down from the throne the same way you climbed up. Not even Jesus can protect you, and that’s final!
