The Shen family was ransacked, and only the two remaining children were thrown into prison and became inmates.

Shen Moyan at that time had two wishes.

One is to protect his sister, and the other is to find evidence that can prove the family’s innocence.

What about proven innocence?

He wanted the entire empire to be buried with them.

With a “ding,” the cultivation system came online, and he could exchange goodwill with historical figures for superior crops.

His uncle held his small hand and walked through endless fields, pointing to the vast golden fields that stretched to the horizon. “Zheng, my nephew, your uncle has a dream – to plant superior crops across all the lands bathed in the sun and moonlight, so that everyone in the kingdom can have enough to eat.”

“Uncle, Zheng can conquer all the lands under the sun and moon and give them to you for farming, how does that sound?”

“Ah? Hahaha, that sounds great!” His uncle let out a hearty laugh, lifting him onto his shoulders. “Wherever Zheng’s kingdom expands, your uncle’s fields will follow.”

A large hands firmly holding onto the smaller one. “It’s a promise.”

They had to engage in a deep conversation in order to survive.

The Crown Prince, who was powerful, handsome, and splendid, stared at the unremarkable face of the stranger, and through gritted teeth, he declared, "I can be killed by my elders, but I will not be humiliated."

The stranger was perplexed and asked, "I have no issue with you being proud, but why are you pointing a sword at me?"

Zhao Mian sneered and replied, "I would rather kill you than suffer humiliation."

The stranger tried to calm the situation and suggested, "Let's not get agitated. We can talk after I remove my disguise."

When the stranger took off their disguise, they were no longer a mere passerby, which alleviated Zhao Mian's anger to some extent. Despite their reluctance, both of them cursed and engaged in a profound conversation before the release of the poison.

He exclaimed, "I returned home for a brief period, and Your Majesty already has a child? Your betrayal truly caught me off guard."

Zhao Mian responded disdainfully, "Everyone in this world belongs to me. How can I be confined to one person? Someone, remove this ungrateful man from Beiyuan."

As the two were locked in a standoff, an elderly eunuch suddenly revealed the truth. He spoke, "Oh, Your Majesty, you are weak after giving birth, so please don't be angered!" <<less

For no reason at all, I vomit blood…

No, it’s about time everyone realized that I’m weak, but for some reason, they continue to have a strange misunderstanding about me.

So… I used to be strong—no, I still am, but for some reason my body was damaged and I can no longer use 100% of my skills? Is it because my body will be unable to withstand it?
