False assurance.

The success of these schemes might seem like progress, but it's only going to hurt their relationship more when everything comes to light.

The princess Gambit

If we look closely, today's episode 13 matches the English title of the drama (The Princess Gambit). Who made the move today, using the other as a chess piece and still bragged about it? (But couldn't hide the feeling of happiness knowing that there is love in his heart for her).
It feels like his heart is going to break again.😥😶💖
I was wondering why the English title of the drama is "The princess gambit". I think this answers it.
gambit= a device, action, or opening remark, typically one entailing a degree of risk, that is calculated to gain an advantage.

Shen Zai Yi's problem is what he want say he say it on the face that's why he is bad. In the other hand everyone around him has dual face expect his sarvent and his sister. The justify him as a bad person but they never justify themselves.

His first wife try to show that she loves him while her bother try to him and she silently help her brother, what kind of love is this?

Even FL and her sarvent always say he is bad he is bad but they continuesly used him for her motive .

Everyone has their own motive but who is bad the bad person is Shen Zai Yi. I just simply hope that he will be more ruthless no one deserves his care ..

Hunting prey

The hunt begins and turns into a competition. The chancellor and crown prince are locked in a heated contest. Prior to the contest the chancellor and his aide swapped spots with the princess playing along that Shen was the archerer. While they were keeping psycho Prince busy, the chancellor and a few others found where the workers were kept and planned an escape. Unfortunately Meng heard of it and got his sister involved to keep Princess from warning anyone. You have to admire these two women together. They are equal in plotting and dealing with less than benevolent family. These two would have been good friends under other circumstances. The wife called her bluff and played hardball with possible consequences if the princess did not comply, as would the princess had she been the one in that spot. 4th Prince shows up to play chess, what he was really doing was giving the princess time to keep chancellor’s cover and sending men to the mine as chancellor was getting boxed in. Those men standing around watching the one man army was a bit much. If they were destined to die, they could at least try to take out one of the men that held them prisoner. At least a couple brave ones helped til reinforcements showed up. The prince’s face when once again chancellor shows up right on time for his reward. Later as our couple is walking an assassin tries to take out the chancellor and the princess throws herself at the arrow. Chancellor did not expect this turn of events and is pretty shocked. This is saying something since he is rarely surprised by the events that surround him. He is usually orchestrating them and this one should have been no exception. He knew psycho Prince was plotting and decided to go in with another prince to have an attempt on his life. However, this was altered with the princess intervening. He now felt guilt and remorse as he couldn’t wrap his brain around the survival driven Princess becoming bodyguard. He is so regretful he goes to a temple to pray for her, something he had cast off years ago. The princess had plots of her own. She knew things were happening and had added a bit of makeshift armor to take the arrow for him. I don’t think she planned on being knocked out for so long but she definitely wanted him to trust her. These two and their machinations go levels deep and wide. It is quite the irony that the psycho prince is getting blamed. He is the hothead always acting before thinking. He even admitted to Meng that he had hired assassins and changed his mind out of fear for his father. This was actually the truth, but even Meng doubted him. This just seemed like another mess to clean up. The sister has a misadventure with a runaway horse and 4th Prince is the hero. He is the royal dr dolittle.😂 It was very brave and stupid standing in front of the horse like that, but fortunately a positive outcome. The consort commented on his bravery and it is clear the emperor doesn’t want to give any positive feedback at all for this prince. Then sis amd 4th prince and their BBQ for one who doesn’t eat meat. 😂These two are a comic distraction but for me, I would prefer seeing bodyguard and chancellor aide together sparring . These two are more handy with the things going on. Psycho Prince is even more outraged. The emperor has promised an investigation and he will have to restrain himself. Waiting to see how the hunt wraps up or if this is considered the end of it and next episode they are just back home. The saddest part is that they were a day late for Lian’s brother. He tried to escape alone and it got him beaten to death. She has a comb for her legacy and no living relatives. I hope the chancellor and princess make some plan for her. She paid a high price for their machinations.
