Emperor Deyuan felt a green cloud of cuckoldry pressing down on his head, so green it practically glowed.
He had accounted for every possibility except this: Consort Xian had cheated on him with the Wa Kingdom's Crown Prince-Mechuan Kuchazi.
And the truth was that Consort Xian, unable to win his affection, had treated Mechuan Kuchazi as his substitute?!
This was outrageously beyond the pale!
Was there something wrong with Consort Xian's eyesight?!
He was handsome as a jade tree in the wind, majestic and extraordinary. In what way did Mechuan Kuchazi look anything like him?!
"Guards, tie up this unfilial son!" The more Emperor Deyuan thought about it, the angrier he grew. He nearly ground his back teeth to pieces as he gave the order.
A crowd of Imperial Guards rushed in, pinned the Third Prince to the floor, and bound him with rope.
The Gossip Watchers all turned to look at Emperor Deyuan.

The Empress: Consort Xian's love really runs deep!
Consort Yan: Oh my~ so deep she even found herself a substitute.

[That old emperor even said before that every other woman in the Imperial Harem entered the palace for fame or profit. Only Consort Xian came for love.]
Consort Yan: Exactly. Enough love to last a lifetime.
Consort Liang: Hah~~ when Consort Xian bullied me before, certain people kept one eye open and the other shut. See? Retribution has come knocking, hasn't it?!
Consort Shu: Those of us seeking fame and profit are the ones who know how to behave.
Emperor Deyuan: "..."
Jian Ruonan sang a line inwardly: *[Loving like a moth
