Nope

Thanks. The other link kept coming up as 404

SYR family was initially poor and lived in the same city that XFF grew up in. They only moved to the capital when he took up the position in court, likely 6 months to a year prior to the events in episode 1. More than likely, since he was a low man at court initially, XH probably didn't plant a spy until after Wanning took an interest in him.

the post is gone?

I mean, I definitely took it to mean he didn't believe YSR was really mourning his wife....but I just now connected the dots that he likely knew in real time, what YSR had done to his wife.

wait so…. XH said he had spies in all of the courts households right? So that’s means when he saw XFF at the temple in episode 2, he’d already known what YSR and his family had done to her. right?

I also wonder at what point the Emperor figured out that YSR was also a POS who likely killed his wife.

I mean, based on the Emperors body language in 24/25, its seems to me he already knew JL was not JL. I also think it is more likely that that XH would've shared his suspicions to the Emperor in the beginning with the added sentiment of 'Lets let it play out to see what she is up to because I think we can use her.' instead of later, when he was in love with her and he'd gained her trust during the events in Luyang and with freeing her father.

Do you think XH told the Emperor early on that he suspected JL was really XFF? Because in the court scene where the Princess tries to expose her, he's not surprised by the accusation, just angry at the Princess making a scene.

I would also add, that the princess targeted him with the intention of breaking his integrity and honor. She essentially broke him down, and built a monster.

Thanks!

LOL!

Real wedding scene?

Can anyone recommend dramas with a similar lead/love interest dynamic where they are just a strong team with faith in each other?

Thank you.

Can someone explain to me the significance of beating the drum?

Wanning really created the monster that would destroy her.

I think it would be interesting to see what would have happened if Consort Li didn't die. Likely she would've continued wanting to teach JL a lesson so she can get justice for her sister. But I cannot imagine XH would tolerate it....you think XH and the Emperor would've eventually ended up in a disagreement?

You know, the more I think about it.....While I understand that the Emperor had to see the bigger picture.....he still was in love with a woman who he knew took part in trying to drug and ruin JL's reputation as well as killed a maid she was jealous of....and did nothing.

Every time XH takes the opportunity to make a dig at YSR... is just...chef's kiss.

wait so…. did the Wmperor know all along that Consort Li killed that maid?
