I'm sad and angry right now... So ep. 19 basically, LAR was thinking hard to get out of MZ's insistence on marrying…
Mu Chuan is the emperor's choice for the Crown Prince position. His mother was a Princess of a foreign country. She was forced to marry the Emperor.
Mu Chuan's mother never wanted him. As soon as he was born, she refused to look at him, according to the Emperor. She even committed suicide after hearing her sweetheart died in a battle.
it makes no sense how lu an ran does not try to contact the 4th prince to get revenge on the 2nd prince. Or even…
Prince Yi did try to win over the Lu family over the years but the family avoided him like the plague.
LAR did tell her dilemma to Mu Chuan that she could only choose Prince Qing, not Prince Yi, for marriage, in Episode 6. MC replied that she had forgotten he was also a Prince who could help her with her plan.

What a way to abandon your own child.
I think it is the funeral of her father.
