It's indeed a very difficult decision for him to make. He has been pondering over it for sometime and decides he can't tell her her health condition, fearing knowing the truth may even sink her into deeper despair. I can understand his predicament. I just find it hard to accept he takes the liberty to sterilize her without telling her.

Yeah, not able to bear an heir for Xiao Qi, and so many other men coveting for her, and so many women want her dead. Oh boy! But no worries. I think her father will come to her rescue, just guessing. Haven't read the novel, so IDK :D

Yep! That's why he's not fit for the throne. All his motives are personal, not for the good of the nation. Scheming with an enemy to get his woman back when his enemy is also coveting for his woman? How dumb can he go? I'm vomiting blood :(

Here goes:

ep 40
Empress teaches Wang Qian to seduce Xiao Qi to save herself. Emperor tells Xiao Qi to drop the corruption case against the Xie clan. 3rd Prince gets someone to cover for him and he sneaks out. Wang Qian's mother begs and insists to move into Xiao's household to break her bad luck (having to marry to Helan Tuo). Helan Zhen schemes to murder Xiao Qi and Wang Xuan is Xiao Qi's Achilles' heels. His man asks him if she's also his Achilles' heels. The treasury is empty. To get money, they want to cut Xiao Qi's military. Xiao Qi asks when the war starts, who will bear the responsibility. Xiao Qi tells Song he wants to bring his soldiers back to Ning Shuo. Empress tells Xiao Qi she wants to send Wang Su (A'Wu's brother) and General Song to contain the flood in the south. She says the only way to kill the wolf king is to break away his other wolves (hence she takes Song). A'Wu meets with Helan Zhen to persuade him to choose a different girl. He wouldn't budge. His man tells Jing'er that they know she's a mole.

ep 41
Dowager Empress tells Emperor her choice of 2 men to be sent to contain the flood. Doctor tells Empress to rest more because her baby feels weak. Emperor fears Dowager tries to strengthen her Wang clan again. She tells Emperor Xiao Qi is the danger and must get rid of. Xiao Qi tells Song that the Dowager wants him to leave to contain the flood with Wang Su. He'll marry Yu Xiu before leaving. Edict comes to award Yu Xiu her change of status and marriage to Song in 10 days. Wang Qian thinks they've come for her and is frightened. Xu Momo is worried Wang Su is being sent to the flood area. A'Wu tells her that her brother has the ambition in this project. Helan Zhen and 3rd Prince are scheming to kill Xiao Qi. 3rd Prince also wants to get back A'Wu and the throne.

When a woman loses her ability to bear children, she loses her confidence. Before she may not feel threatened, but when she knows she can't bear him a child, she will be, and it's going to be painful.

The Devil versus Lucifer. Nice!

Yeah, I know. Just that once it's widely known that she can't bear children, he would be pressured to get concubines, and it's going to be very painful for her.

After her miscarriage, the doctor tells Xiao Qi that A'Wu cannot conceive again because another pregnancy can kill her. So Xiao Qi wants to make sure that she doesn't get pregnant again by giving her contraceptive medicine that can sterilize her after long term usage. All this without her knowledge. This is the pill I can't swallow. Why doesn't he do something to himself so that she doesn't get pregnant? :D

At this point, I don't think Song is a mole. I think he's accepted bribes and given Xiao Qi's soldiers substandard grains and winterwear.

1. The doctor says the baby feels very weak and may born a weak/sickly child.
2. She's upset because she's been chosen to marry Helan Tuo. She doesn't want to leave the country to go to a new country. She begs A'Wu to talk to the Emperor out of it; A'Wu is not successful. The Empress schemes and tells her to move into A'Wu's household so that she can go seduce Xiao Qi. She's told that's the only way she can save herself.

I have a very bad feeling for her: she's going to get hurt :( I hope her new found brother would protect her from all harms.

I think we're pretty safe with Xiao Qi's love, except for the stealth contraception part; it's going to blow up on his face.

At this point, yes, he's going to marry YuXiu in 10 days before he leaves for the south. But I can't read if he is truly in love with her or just to stay close to A'Wu. So far, he hasn't shown much love towards YuXiu except he appreciates her for saving A'Wu. So I guess it's A'Wu that he loves. Dang! So many men in love with A'Wu. I've lost count already.

My issue is, I know how important it is for a woman to bear children and he goes sterilizing her like this without her knowledge, whereas he himself can still father children with other women (though I know he wouldn't, but the thought of "he still can" gives a bad taste in the mouth). His action would have made most women feeling very insecure, ...... just saying :(

Watched up to ep. 41. By next week when they release new episodes, I'd have forgotten everything I watch today. What a bummer :(

LOL! The writers are trolling us by dumping all these bitches on us like this. XD

It's not shown, but I believe it's the family of a fallen soldier. He takes care of all his fallen men's families.

1. He's one of the 3rd Prince's men, and he covers for 3rd Prince while he sneaks out.
2. He congratulates General Song's for his marriage, and his imminent outstation.
3. He tells her that he knows she's a mole planted by the Empress. She feels sicken by him sniffling on her like that. She has also thought he were to sexually assault her.

There's more than one way to stop her from getting pregnant and she doesn't need to be the one to bear the brunt of contraception, I'm just saying :)

Hahahahahaha!
