Chapter 873: Chapter 873: Whose Card to Reveal_1

The Emperor glanced over the green cards, taking note of the names of several young concubines such as Concubine Ya, Concubine Zhu, and Concubine Qiu.

Concubine Ya… Even though she held an unmatched beauty, she was after all from the Silla Kingdom. It was a delicate time to remain aloof.

Concubine Zhu…The Emperor's heart warmed at the thought of her demeanor so alike to that of Concubine Jin. He longed to be by her side immediately, to see her smile.

He needed to distance himself from Concubine Zhu for the time being.

Concubine Qiu?
