Anyone else find it weird that the FL wasn't at Xu Qi An's funeral? There are messenger pigeons that could have…
I think it's because the south is quite far. They only have horses as a transportation back then, and FL is a princess so she maybe could only use a carriage not mount on a horse. Using carriage is slow, it would take too many days or even months for her, so she couldn't make it to his funeral.
It's only halfway through the whole drama and we all know ML won't be killed off so soon, but man is the actor…
Agree. When XQA died, I didn't cry because I know he can't be died this fast since he's the ML. But when his uncle sat in front of their house and cried, I cried along OMG 😭😭😭
Because Lord Wei and the Empress were in love before and the Emperor knows it. So he abandoned his martial skills…
No, he is in love with the Empress. You can check it again. In the drama, when they were young, they were separated because the girl will be the future Empress. And the person he looked with longing at Sangbo lake is a different person than Duke Yu's wife. I recall the Empress's facial features is a bit softer than Duke Yu's wife.
Does anyone have any theories why Mr. Wei sealed his martial arts skills after he established the Guardian Yamen?…
Because Lord Wei and the Empress were in love before and the Emperor knows it. So he abandoned his martial skills to ease the Emperor's worry. You can see that the Emperor hate it when someone is above him. Lord Wei is afraid the Empress will get implicated if the Emperor finds fault on him. So yeah, "let me be weak myself so you don't need to drag me down."

There's no confirmation for S2. Fans just speculated since one season can't cover the entire novel's arcs.
