In the first year of Tianyou, the regent resigned and left, and no one knew where he had gone.
The young emperor gazed beyond the palace walls. "Seventeenth Uncle, why did Brother Congzhou abandon me and leave?"
Prince Ling, no longer his usual carefree self, replied, "He's tired. Let him rest."
"After all, all these years, he's never had a single peaceful night's sleep..."
Lin Congzhou woke from nightmares every night.
The despair in his mother's eyes as she fled with the wet nurse's son in her arms, and the horrific sight of his little sister drowning before his eyes, left him drenched in cold sweat.
Years ago, the Crown Prince was imprisoned for plotting a rebellion. Except for the eldest imperial grandson, whose life was bought with the lives of several others, the rest were all executed. It was a terribly tragic scene...
Lin Congzhou sneered. "Grandfather, surely you know what my father is like. A rebellion?"
"But since that's how things are, I'd like to see what happens if I try it!"
On Peach Blossom Island,
Daiyu, living a happy, secluded life, often felt grateful.
Grateful that her brother had helped her escape that den of evil, grateful that she had such a happy, stable home...
Far away, a cute little boy with a bowl cut crouched by a low stool, drawing circles.
The child said, "Uncle, Haohao can already recite the Three Character Classic. Test me!"
Lin Congzhou asked, "Humans are born with goodness in their nature. What does that mean?"
The child: "..."
