That was a political move. The mom was a lowly palace maid with no powerful family so her son was never allowed to see her when she was alive.

Prince Xian. I am surprised to know that he is trying to kill GYX and knows his identity.

I thought the princes didn't know GYX was the Commander of the Security Bureau. We now know Prince Xian knows GYX's identity.

We also know 6th Prince has escaped from an assassination but we didn't know if Prince Xian was trying to kill him.

The child might have seen the person who poisoned the Emperor. But, what else did he see which made him suffer from PTSD?

I don't think the father is dead. I think he's been hidden by GYX.

I really hate the FL's mother for being greedy. I can relate this kind of behaviour to almost every Chinese mother I've come across.

Money is all they care without considering the feelings of their children.

After hurting their children's feelings, they emotionally blackmail their offsprings. How can a mother do that to their own flesh and blood?

If they cannot afford things for themselves, they shouldn't have bred in the first place.

She was rude to me so she deserved to get told off.

Luo Jin as Emperor Kangxi was an excellent choice in this drama. I was impressed by LJ's acting in this drama because I found him annoying in Princess Wei Young.

Ming Zhu and Minister Suo's exchange during the former's trial in Kang Xi's presence is one of the best part in the series.

Good acting.

One surprise character in this series that keeps being dropped from Kangxi's history is the deposed Empress Korchin, the first wife of Emperor Shunzi. In this drama, the young emperor was still addressing her as his mother.

Another odd thing is he had another official mother who was also an Empress from the Korchin mongol who happened to be a niece of the deposed Empress. This character never appeared on this series.

What exactly did the poor child witness at the mansion of the eldest prince? The boy keeps crawling and is terrified of something.

I guess we need to read the novel using the Google Translate.

BS all the time.

The eldest Prince tried to assassinate the 6th prince so GYX saved him by hiding him in the Hua family.

I don't think GYX's father died in the fire. He was probably saved by GYX and hidden somewhere in the mansion.

The emperor simply doesn't have the patience for his all children except GYX.

Stop guessing. It's the eldest prince. He is a lunatic so that's why the 6th prince developed PTSD.

The emperor only values those who are genuine to him. No wonder he loves these two children and cannot stand his own.

I'm not worried at all simply because the person at risk is not I.

Eldest Prince is the culprit.

The emperor's sons except 6th prince are useless. In the novel, GYX supported the 6th prince to be the next emperor.

HPV virus. I guess you are not well informed about diseases.

The emperor only adores Gu Yanxi and has no love for his own children. He can't stand his own children and he hates children!

I find the emperor has no clue of being a father. Or, Gu Yanxi is simply a perfect child and son.

No, it's the Eldest Prince. He hasn't made a disappearance. Plus the poor 6th prince went to his mansion by accident and must have witnessed something sinister which made him terrified of people.
