he is loyal to his master before his brothers, not a personal interest here
This guy is not stupid. He is a strategist and seems to think ahead several steps. He's just crying and making excuses thar his life is not his own and he has to obey his master.
Also, thanks for spoiling me about the death camp. I haven't reached that episode yet.
Ep.13: I call BS on Xiao Wei Ran's excuses and his crying. He could have said no or found another way, he's not stupid after all, but his personal interest outweighed loyalty to a friend.
Ep.12: This princess deserves to go to Jinxiu and see how life treats her there. It's astounding that she doesn't think she will be used and then killed by the other royal family.
Also, thanks for spoiling me about the death camp. I haven't reached that episode yet.
Hope these two don't retire anytime soon!
