Yes that's why I said in a twisted way that is a cage for her. I meant obsession, he considers it love, but even if its love its toxic and harmful for her.

He loves her in his own twisted way, I agree. But his love is a cage to her. No woman deserves that. She deserves someone who is not crazy who likes her and her son. Why should she fall for a person who tries to use his own son to make her listen to him? Do you remember the scene where he killed a servant for just a small mistake and made his 6-7 year old son forcefully see it, traumatizing him? No child deserves such a father.
He is an abuser she and her son are his victims. He is irredeemable.

ML had 1000 men, Sui Yuanqing had 10,000 men. Now ML has 800 men left. Sui Yuanqing's forces are dead. Generals of Sui Family have now brought 30k men.

That is why I said you are correct. I am saying this thought to be done for greater good is from their perspective. ML is responsible for securing borders. That is his responsibility. Baxia is part of the empire, but under control of the Suis. He wants to recover that. That is his job.
He and others in military just want to win. If sacrificing few people will achieve them the results, they will do it.

You are not wrong. But Xie Zheng is not us, or a common person. He is not allowed to think like that. Fan Changyu supports his decisions, because her father taught her the same. There was a dialogue when FL and ML bowed in front of Marquis's tablet, and ML asked her why she is doing that when everyone hates Marquis, because he has massacred villages of enemies before, killing countless innocents. Fan Changyu's father has a hidden identity. He knows how things work in war. That's why he praised Marquis in front of his daughter. FL told ML, that even enemies have done that to us, so why can't we?
Standing on moral grounds, even killing of one innocent person is bad. But its war, if they play it morally they might never win. To sacrifice few forces/people/territory/goods for a greater good, is what considered correct in war. Results matter in war, sacrifices for it are collateral damage.
Now it doesn't matter if you ship FL with Li Huai An, he is no better than Xie Zheng, everyone will make the same choice. We all were angry at Sui Yuanqing for massacring Linan town, but people in Baxia would consider him a hero for that.

Now, that doesn't mean I support the strategy. I am giving you the perception behind it.

Yeah it has been great.

Yeah he almost believed ohh she cares for the soldiers, ohh she was worried about me. But then okay this was all just for your crush🤣. The amount of times she has ran away from the palace, ML should seriously be stressed about the palace's security lol.

Right🤣

Hahaha

Exactly

The ML has not still decided about him. His subordinates want to free him and they have camped near the military camp of ML in hope of freeing him. But till today's episode, he is still captured by ML and imprisoned.

Hehe, we are lucky.

He is captured by ML.

No I saw the preview for lip kisses. Or more like peck on the lips.

According to the novel, Xie Zheng.

Hihihi. They have to even with each other, one by each hence.

Forgot to rant about it- But we got 2.5 hugs today. Yes 2.5 . Half hug when FL wrapped her hands around him when he coughed blood and said are you that desperate to divorce me, and she half hugged him and said I will never divorce you.

That's the excuse Princess told her mother as well to break off the betrothal with Xie Zheng. She told her he is just like a brother.
Now we get to see they really act as siblings, she teases him, he scolds her. Cuties.

General He is FL's father's friend/comrade. He and FL's father served together under Wei.
Maternal Grandpa is General Meng Shuyuan, he is died by suicide 17 years back.

Changyu's maternal grandpa was a general not her father. Her father was initially bought as a servant into Wei family, later got trained and served under ML's dad and FL's maternal grandfather in the Xie Army.
