The Road to Splendor Episode 33

Yu’s salt reform shenanigans 😝

This was all about Yu setting up Zhao Ling before his misdeeds could be made public. He has talked Jin Yuan Bao into betraying Zhao Ling to gain all the northwest salt permits. The Emperor is such a hypocrite because he knows all this history and contributed. 😝 TingYun ticked the Yus off with her pearl stunt so they are clapping back and dragging Jin into it. He was dropped immediately after his charges were brought to court. This time he lost Shen as a friend and brother. He can’t undo what his hurt pride led him to do. Had he known how Zhao Ling and TingYun really felt about that banquet, he would have understood why he wasn’t invited. They had nothing to rejoice about. It is shocking that those guards were going to strip TingYun right on the street.😡🤬 Here Ms Wang and the military wives came through in her defense. All their property has been confiscated and both imprisoned. The emperor gives and the emperor takes away. 😝🙄🤬 Here I wish creative choices would have coincided with the novel more. None of this would have happened and we could have seen our couple have some happy times instead. 😝🙄

Loyalty should go both ways...

Damn, that Emperor! He was the one who gave those lands, identity, and everything to Zhao Ling, and he knew he was a salt smuggler! And he did nothing? Said nothing? How can that be called deceiving the throne!? Loyalty should go both ways... 😠😞And Mr Jin, you fool... Another greedy victim of Lord Yu's schemes. 😒 At least Sen wasn't accused, but this doesn't change what Mr Jin did. To be fair, I thought Lord Yu would have him killed to silence him in case something went sour. And I am happy Sen didn't kill him. That would have been too much for his pure soul. 😟And Madam Wan with the upper Northwest ladies coming to Tingyun's aid... That moment was so touching. They are not gone; they still stand with their "sister". 🥹
