Zhao Mian, the Prince of Nanjing, had an encounter with a stranger while he was on a secret incognito visit. Both of them were simultaneously poisoned, and the poison would be released every month on the night of the full moon.
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.
Later, when Zhao Mian ascended the throne, a neighboring country sent Ambassador Wei Zhenfeng to congratulate him.
In the grand hall, Wei Zhenfeng’s eyes sparkled under the clear moonlight as he greeted, “Your Majesty, I hope you are in good health.”
Zhao Mian absentmindedly touched his slightly swollen belly and fell into deep contemplation.
During the full moon feast for the eldest prince, Wei Zhenfeng arrived uninvited, seething with anger, yet still maintaining a smile.
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!”
