"What is natural in this world? Forcing one's will for selfish desires is what you call natural? It's absurd… cough cough." Chu Ze became agitated and couldn't help but cough.
A hint of worry flashed in the eyes of Princess Consort Min, wanting to persuade, but Princess Consort Ji already anxiously spoke up.
