Zhou Yin Zi's "solution" to the rebel rescue team potentially freeing prisoners to create chaos is ruthless and brutal and possibly a cold, cruel foreshadowing of how his so-far 'neutral' alignment will ultimately show out. This episode featured some exciting action / fight scenes in the prison breakout event, but the flirting scenes between Ning and Zhang Zhe in the midst of all that chaos were bizarre and uncomfortable to watch because it made no sense for either of them to not be feeling intense urgency. This is one of the very few moments in this whole series where I found character behavior to be just plain odd and not very believable. To tell thee truth, I'm still just mystified by what exactly is the basis for Ning's infatuation with Zhang Zhe. Is it just a bizarre, extreme physical attraction? Or is it based on something from her former life? With all the chaos happening at the prison, I also have to wonder, just what happened with Yue Fang Yin during all that? She is staying somewhere in the prison. But I guess she was in a 'vip' cell so maybe that was in a completely separate part of the complex?

Oh... What i asked just before, was answered at the start of this ep. I wonder if the Emperor always remember Xue Dingfei's sacrifice replacing him to surrender to Lord Ping'an. I feel bad for Zhang Zhe mother. What Lyu Xia said was right. He directly asked Ning'er about her crush on Zhang Zhe. Yan Lin was a good man. Ning'er really appreciate Yan Lin and treated him as her brother. When I thought Zhou Yinzhi might be a nice ally, few mins later he wld prove me wrong. Not Ning'er got swept up with lord pingnan men too with ZZ. Tbh I think she cld lend her hand to help ZZ with his disguise.
