Last time, when Tao Youwei was not yet the Empress, she publicly whipped Zheng Nianer, leaving her covered in wounds.
At that time, Emperor Yongcheng, in order to forge an alliance with the Tao Family, clearly harbored immense hatred, but pretended not to care.
Not only could he not avenge his beloved little best friend, but he also couldn't visit or comfort her in person.
He even had to suppress his indignation and reward Tao Youwei and the entire Tao Family.
And the Tao Family, instead of feeling any shame or unease, brazenly accepted his reward.
At that moment, Emperor Yongcheng felt that his dignity as Emperor was trampled by the Tao Family.
He could not hate the Tao Family more.
If, after the alliance with the Tao Family, they had indeed assisted him, the Emperor would not be so resentful now.
The fact is, the Tao Family refused to help with Emperor Yongcheng's first decree.
Forcing him to seek 'assistance' elsewhere.
It's not worth it!
