So, who is the person who is really in love with Bo Yi Kao?Is it Daji?Of course not. Bo Yi Kao's true love is actually his mother Tai Ji.

He is willing to do anything for Taiji, even if it is sacrificing his own life.

Bo Yi Kao's love was also reciprocated by Tai Ji. Taiji's examination of Bo Yi is not only mother's love, but also pride and expectation. She hoped that Bo Yi Kao could inherit the foundation of King Wen of Zhou and become a generation of Ming monarchs. However, King Wen of Zhou abandoned Boyi Kao and appointed his second son, King Wu of Zhou, as the crown prince. This is because King Wen of Zhou followed the Yin etiquette, that is, when the crown prince dies, he will establish a younger brother, not a grandson. Bo Yi Kao's grandfather, the father of King Wen of Zhou, was succeeded to the throne by King Wen of Zhou for this reason. King Wen of Zhou believed that this was done to maintain the unity and stability of the Zhou state, and that King Wu of Zhou and Gongdan of Zhou were also virtuous people who could assist him in governing the country. Although Taiji was dissatisfied with King Zhou Wen's decision, she did not oppose it, but silently supported him. Her love for Bo Yi Kao has not decreased because of this, but has become deeper.

He brought three exotic treasures, a seven-spice cart, a sobering felt, and a white ape, and presented them to King Zhou, in order to free King Wen of Zhou. He did not hesitate to endure the insults and torture of King Zhou, just to save the life of King Wen of Zhou. His filial piety is also a manifestation of his love for Taiji. He knew that the person Taiji cared about the most was King Wen of Zhou. He is willing to sacrifice his own happiness for the happiness of Taiji. This kind of love of his is also a kind of selfless love.
