He Youyou took a few peanuts off the grill and placed them on the plate in front of her to cool.
"If I remember correctly, the king has never looked down on women."
"Times have changed. Before I ascended the throne, all women seemed the same to me. But ever since I became the king of the Wuhuan, everything has been different."
"What's the difference?"
"As I sat on the throne, looking at the empty queen's seat beside me, I couldn't help but wonder, what kind of woman should the queen of my Wuhuan Kingdom be?"
