Miscommunication is indeed unbearable if it is about simple things that can be solved with words. In this drama, FL is a SPY. ML has a HIDDEN IDENTITY. Both of them have SECRET MISSIONS. Around them are powerful enemies. How could you expect them to open to one another? Even love won't save them if they are exposed.

I think, it is because Huaijin is the one who got caught with CP. Not his father.

I have a suspicion. He is also not trustworthy. But I love it. This drama has a reliable emperor who plays actively with court politics. He is not too old, sick, deceived, or dependent on his ministers, as we usually see in other dramas. He has something on his mind and uses ML as his weapon. He has the power to say yes and no.

Yes. Episode 14 is very emotional. I cried, too, for him. Especially when his father implicitly asked him to commit suicide. His shocked eyes, a minute of silence, understanding, and calm composure tell so much about him as a person.

Yeah. This drama has an interesting "villain" with intelligence, conscience, and compassion. I respect Huaijin, too. This characterization makes him very human. I love his story. Too bad, his story ends here.

The case in this drama is that the FL intentionally got herself shot.

I am frightened instead.

Please, stop spoiling us with such tragedy. So sad for SZY then.

His previous marriages are political. The main wife is the daughter of his enemy and works for her father. The first concubine is the sister of a prince. The second one, dunno. If they are married by political intention, you may guess, for your first question. He is still childless in his 30. He found our FL to be his match in terms of intelligence and cunning, and they are getting more trusting with each other now.

We still have 24 episodes to get the answers. Let's be patient.

If you watched the episodes carefully, you should realize how powerful the Meng clan is. That is behind the reason the emperor prefer to "ignore", or at least halt the case.

The next issue is no longer about fake money, but the illegal silver mining and potential future conflicts between kingdoms. The plot has moved forward.

The fake money is over despite unresolved yet. The next issue is how to get the CP to justice.

The mission given by her step mother

What is wrong with her foot stuck and being rescued?

I think he might have two reactions. One, for her family background which is similar to him. He would emphatize more. Two, for her secret mission. He would be furious, but later I guess they would work for that together.

FL's looks are just similar to herself in Blossom or the Untamed. Which aspect do you find so fake?

And the plot are moving forward with a lot of suspense. For me, it is thrilling, especially during the gambling scenes.

XHY and WX both are blaming themselves.

ML's aide helped them out. He watched from afar how CP and Huaijin's doing. He waites for a while until the enemies are away, and them removed the rocks.

I agree with you. The wisdom is how to balance between idealism and reality, the theory in books and practice, without losing your original intention.

I think, you miss some backstory about ML.
