Even if he didn't love her, he never let her suffer like this!
She had just recovered from typhoid fever...

When passing by Zhao Ying, he felt her glance at him, then lowered her head.

Emperor Jianxi listened to Shangguan Shu's speech and sneered.
Boy, my wife was taken away by your wife. If I don't punish her, how can I be worthy of being Hyomin's husband?!
