Despite Zhao Changhe usually priding himself on being quite smart, at this moment, his brain felt like the Blue Screen of Death.1

How did Tang Wanzhuang end up publicly quarreling with the imperial noble consort? And why does everyone seem to be completely unfazed? Aren’t the Huangfu Clan loyalists? Shouldn’t they be on the same side?0

Right, the Huangfu Clan is supposed to be full of loyal and righteous people, so why is their daughter the freaking Fire Serpent of Yi? How is an imperial noble consort like her even able to stay outside the palace for so long? Is everyone in the palace blind? Does the emperor not come looking for her?1

No, if you’re the imperial noble consort, then when I was flirting with you before, wasn’t I flirting with someone’s stepmother? Oh shit, Chichi’s stepmother! You were even leading me on and wrapped your arms around my waist.3

What the hell was I doing?0

No, wait, why the hell are you still a virgin?0

Also, since you’re the imperial noble consort, why did the Four Idols Cult still ally itself with the Wang Clan, the family of the empress? Isn’t that conflicting? It feels like you would be the ones to try to get rid of the crown...2
