Wang Baxian hurriedly left the palace.
He was full of vigor and felt at ease, yet some emotions were mixed.
He remembered many years ago he seemed different, but when did he start to change?
Probably from when he helped Zhao Chengji ascend.
Zhao Chengji was the Second Prince; above him was the Crown Prince.
The tradition is to chose the elder over the young, always has been.
So, during the hunt, Wang Baxian caused the Crown Prince's horse to have issues.
The Crown Prince "fell off the horse," crippled his leg, became disabled.
A Sovereign, how could he be disabled? Naturally, this position fell to Zhao Chengji.
However...
When Zhao Chengji became the Sovereign, Yan Fuguo left the capital, and Wang Baxian increasingly felt that no one could restrain him; he could do whatever he wanted, deciding how the Sovereign should review the memorial.
The Empress Dowager was his sister, the queen was from the Wang family.
