However, the Emperor shifted his gaze to Mu Yangling and asked, "Madam Mu, if I insist on letting Qi Haoran marry a co-wife, what will you do?"
As Mu Yangling looked up at the Emperor, the sense of danger in her bones told her that it was best to tell the truth. Otherwise, this Emperor might really willfully assign him a co-wife.
So what if it was against the law? This was a society governed by humans. Moreover, there were several famous examples in the Tang Dynasty in the past.
Smiling, Mu Yangling said, "If Your Majesty really bestows a co-wife to him, then of course I can only acknowledge her. However, how we live our lives in the future is our own business."
"Oh? Then how do you plan to live your lives?"
"It's very simple. We'll split the house into two and let the co-wife live alone on one side. Qi Haoran won't meet her, let alone sleep with her and have children. If she behaves herself, we'll live in peace."
