From then on, he became a motherless prince, suffering from palace rumors and gossip, fortunately finding pity and adoption by the Empress Dowager. During his dark youth, only you treated him with sincerity and never gossiped, becoming his only solace. Years of palace coldness and human darkness shaped his enduring and calculating nature. He deliberately feigned docility and humility, not competing for anything, lulling all the princes into a false sense of security.
