I also think that the emperor might be considering putting her life in danger if needed.
If the emperor truly intends to get rid of consort Li alongside the other crooks, why did he take her as his consort? It just doesn't make sense, she used to be the late emperor consort, and after the late emperor's demise, I think it's easy to get rid of the late emperor's consort than getting rid of her when she's his consort, don't you agree? Yes, JL is there on her own accord, but viewing her as a "pawn" is a bit out of line, she's more of an "ally" than a "pawn". Indeed, let's wait and see how the next episodes will unfold.
XH is as good at what he does because he thinks logically about what is best for country, and puts his own emotions…
Yes, the saying about "keeping your friends close and your enemies closer" is indeed a wise saying, but you'll agree with me when I say, keeping one's enemy close is indeed wise, keeping them too close is not a wise thing to do. About episode 34 teaser, that I haven't watch. We'll know soon enough whether the argument is meant to be a trap or not. Besides teasers can't show everything that's going to happen in the next episode, they are meant to spark the curiosity of watchers and make us know more about what to expect in the next episode. In my opinion, for a chess piece, consort Li is too close to the emperor, don't you agree?

What about consort Li? Is she not the emperor emotional liability? But has XH pointed this fact out to the emperor? In my opinion, I think he just needs someone that's deprived of emotion, so his plans would succeed much sooner. Yes, countless soldiers die on the battlefield to protect the country because they're duty bound duty to protect the nation as soldiers . JL is not a soldier, but a civilian and a loyal subject that's should be protected, not sacrificed.

I agree, if the whole thing was reversed, and it's the emperor who's responsible for JL mysery and sufferings, and Wanning was not her enemy. I'm pretty sure he won't be sitting on that throne for long if JL was Wanning's ally. He should be thankful JL is an ally, not an enemy, cause he wouldn't want someone as intelligent and scheming as her as an enemy. So, she's no "pawn", but an "ally".
In 30 & 31 he doesn't say this. The emperor most probably will not be against their relationship. Even though…
He always talks about not having emotions, so their great plan doesn't go into ruins. But doesn't he also have emotions? If he doesn't, what about consort Li?
XH is as good at what he does because he thinks logically about what is best for country, and puts his own emotions…
JL always deem it as worth it because she wants revenge on her enemies, she wants justice for her family that fell. XH on the other hand has been wavering for long, he's fallen for JL for quite some time, he's just hiding his feelings for her. A life of one compared to millions? I don't support such motion, if you can sacrifice one for millions today, then you'll have no problem sacrificing hundreds, even thousands for many more. So, I think sacrificing the innocents for the greater good is not always right. Remember how Tong died in all this chaos? Back to how the emperor truly feels, I'd say he cares about consort Li, if not, he wouldn't have taken her as his consort when she's previously married to the late emperor, don't you agree?
He doesn’t want him to develop a relationship with her that could ruin all the plans and schemes that they’ve…
Same here, marrying the late emperor's consort can't be considered as a moral act, it's more like an immoral behavior cause his actions proves, he's been in a relationship with consort Li before the demise of the late emperor. It makes me wonder why he would do such a thing when he always talks about cleaning the Great Yan court. But his consort is also not clean.
XH is as good at what he does because he thinks logically about what is best for country, and puts his own emotions…
The emperor wants XH to sacrifice JL if needed? What about him? Is he ready to sacrificed his beloved consort, "consort Li"? I don't think so. It's a good thing that XH is not some cold blooded person without emotion, he knows what he wants and how he feels about JL. Furthermore, I think the emperor just want a robot like ally/friend, without emotions and feelings, a person who puts the nation above all, cause that's the only way he thinks their great plan can succeed.
I also think that the emperor might be considering putting her life in danger if needed.
Yes, it's like he regards her as nothing but a "pawn". It's even more like he doesn't consider her as human being, just some pawn to achieve his plans. Just because he thinks that way, he also wants Xiao Heng to have the same thoughts? He should just dream on!!
I also think that the emperor might be considering putting her life in danger if needed.
Mee too, I think all the emperor cares about is his great plans, he doesn't care who is sacrificed to achieve it. It's more like "sacrificing a few hundred to save hundreds of thousands", don't you agree?
I also think that the emperor might be considering putting her life in danger if needed.
Mee too, I think he doesn't care about her life, all he cares about is achieving his great plans and defeating Wanning and her brother. It's more like "sacrificing a hundred to save ten thousands".
He doesn’t want him to develop a relationship with her that could ruin all the plans and schemes that they’ve…
What does he mean? Doesn't he also have a close relationship with "consort Li"? Too close I guess, but isn't she also the sister of JSR who killed the wife of the secteriat director, so she could be his wife? Great plans? Just because of their great plans and schemes, Duke Xu shouldn't have emotions?
What did emperor Hong mean when he said this to Duke Su; Are you getting your emotions involved." Will the emperor be against their relationship? I need some spoilers before proceeding to episode 30&31.
When Tong died, it's really sad. JSR deserved death, not guide some temple!! And there's the eldest princess, she needs to get what's coming to her, for her to stop her viciousness.
I just couldn't make it pass episode 4, I even tried to watch episode 5, but couldn't. I always dose off whenever I watch "moving", it took me 3 days to complete 4 episodes before dropping it.
