he suggested it bc his subjects suspected uke was a man, having a harem would attest he was normal healthy man interested in other women and he bought up the idea to demote the uke as the “queen consort” so he can make him the “empress” again, both for the benefit of their third baby and uke, It was at least discussed, allowing the room for communication helps the relationship while the emperess literally let a stranger (at that time) fuck him in the ass never said a word to the emperor too,rhere’s a huge difference b/w the two
How would the emperor have known what the uke desired when he never voiced out his opinion ? while the emperor looked out for the uke despite the limited time his position allowed him and he even proposed ideas to the uke which was all for his benefit, uke cheating is way worse and messed up, they are not at all comparable

loved this except the cheating part form the empress side like he showed no remorse, never addressed it with the emperor prior to revelation being the black spirit but I’m willing to over look bc it’s cute crack manga
