In the eighteenth year of Xuanjia, on the tenth day of the fifth month, King Liang took the Emperor and the Crown Prince up to Wude Gate.
The Crown Prince, bound and gagged, was pushed up to the city gate. Upon seeing the Emperor, he couldn't help but cry out, breaking free from the imperial guards holding him and rushing towards the Emperor. He knelt down and cried, "Father! King Liang, you beast! How could you do this to the Emperor!"
The Emperor, supported by King Liang as he ascended the city tower, felt both humiliated and furious. His cold, bone-chilling gaze fell upon the weeping Crown Prince, filled with intense disgust that startled the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince's tears seemed frozen on his face; he hadn't expected his father to look at him with such a gaze.
The Crown Prince didn't know if the Emperor blamed him for being useless, for failing to save him, and was angry with him.
