emperor duzong's mother wanted to have an abortion because she thought she was of low social status so she took drugs in an futile attempt to abort duzong. duzong was born anyway but the drugs affected him in many ways such as that his intelligence was lower than an average person, his hand and feet were soft; using them in an awkward fashion and he couldn't even speak until he was seven years old. he was yurui's only son. like his uncle zhao yun, he lived in shaoxing.
