Is it really true that the Retired Emperor won't act recklessly?
Of course not. It's just that he's currently at a disadvantage, confined to bed and unable to move. If he could move, he would surely stir up trouble.
Finding every possible way to escape is what the Retired Emperor would do.
Just wait, when Gong Jian returns from the Northern Lands and captures all the forces the Retired Emperor thinks he has, then the Retired Emperor won't be able to cause trouble anymore.
By then, the Retired Emperor might not be vexed to death, but he'll be unable to act freely.
After all, who could accept having so many forces wiped out all at once, especially someone with a big temper like the Retired Emperor?
"Tell the imperial physicians to treat the Retired Emperor's injuries slowly, no need to rush," he instructed.
