Kang Tuo: "..."
He watched the woman clumsily frame and entrap, thinking to himself, "The Emperor surely wouldn't believe this, would he? How could he possibly have untoward intentions toward her?"
"Miss, I have a virtuous wife and three sons at home, with whom I share a deep bond. Please refrain from making baseless accusations."
He was famously known throughout the palace as a devoted husband, even the Emperor knew about it and had scolded him for it: "A man of vigor must not cower before a woman!
There was no way he could have had untoward intentions toward her.
Unaware of his thoughts, Sang Yan negotiated with him: "I will refrain from making accusations, but you must tell me the truth about Emperor Da He."
Kang Tuo sighed helplessly: "Miss, I am merely a Medical Officer, and know little about the affairs of Da He. Should I speak falsely, may I be torn from my wife and children."
He took an oath on what he valued most in life and didn't lie at all.
