“For three years, they’ve all said I’m finished. I thought so too.” Three years ago, at the West Mountain Autumn Hunt, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace fell from his horse and was poisoned.

The Crown Prince couldn't rein it in and was thrown from the saddle, tumbling down a gentle slope. In the chaos, a stray arrow grazed his left temple. It was poisoned.
