Thats because of his conscience... I mean, that bitch is the with him when he struggled before meeting our Empress right? And also his stupid ass promise that whore to be an empress—but well look what we had now?
He is a guilty son of a btch and stupid as fck.
I only hope that he gets BETTER TO BE WITH OUR EMPRESS. Cuz whether we like it or not, he is the ML in this story *rolled eyes*
He has to unfortunately, since everyone believes that the empress is infertile they pressured him to take in a concubine, and the highest ranked unmarried woman just happens to be that bitch, he can't just kick her out since she's now the daughter of a marquis and the other nobles will oppose him and he might lose influence over them
Can yall tell me why the emperor still keep this mf hoe
