Xia Wenjin did not consider herself a magnanimous person.
In private matters, Huangfu Yuxuan had once thoroughly used her, even employed the entire Haotian Village as a stepping stone, causing the downfall of her father and brother, as well as the uncles in Haotian Village. In the end, citing her humble origins as unfit for empress-hood, he granted her a cup of poisoned wine. This grudge would not simply pass.
In public affairs, for the sake of the throne, Huangfu Yuxuan instigated chaos within the Nanxia Court, leading to wars breaking out, internal and external turmoil, and the ceding of territories for peace treaties, rendering Nanxia weak. Those people from the ceded territories didn't know overnight whether they were Nanxia people or East Tang people.
