Ha! I was wondering about this too. Usually if there was a murder case they would thoroughly investigate the crime scene.
But it was mentioned, the bldg (something tower) was immediately sealed off. I can only assume that's the reason why it was still there. The assassination attempt on ye li was already enough evidence for the official that's handling the case to believe her innocence. I think that's the reason ye li was allowed out of the prison and bait that sui.
So since they have the confession from the actual murderer, i think it would be easy for ye li to ask and visit the tower so she can secretly retrieve the edict before they went to the royal court. Or may be it was her senior who took it for ye li. But i am not sure if they would have a chance to speak.
But all just my assumptions? Hypothesis?

It was the marquis who i think first mentioned that mxw couldve stalled and waited for the duke hua to arrive (this was when marquis was finally imprisoned and he was trying to deal with mxy and reveal the secret of who got the hidden edict from mxw)
The marquis saying that mxw could ve stalled for the duke's arrival implies this is a valid strategy for mxw to do.
However the dowager convinced ye li's mom to ask mxw for the location of the edict. Ye li's mother was confident that she would be able to help and resolve mxw's case. She heard her father (headmaster of lishan) together with several lishan scholars are coming to the capital to plead for mxw and his troops to be exonerated.
Both the duke and the headmaster are known for their uprightness. Even the marquis said that he would also trust the daughter of the headmaster.
Unfortunately, it was just a ploy to locate the edict and forcibly take it from yeli's mom by the ye family. This is what ye li told mxy too. His brother was waiting for the duke hua to arrive. So it's not really a theory.
Ye li's mom i think was too naive, w/c was sort of implied when she fell in love with ye li's father. Im wondering if she's like ye ying but less bratty.

I understand your points. I would be the same tbh. Haha i would be so hurt.
But in the end, it's up to Ye Li whether he's forgiven or not. I think his presence there in the mountain, asking for forgiveness and his hair turned white was enough for Ye li. 🙂

Not really 😅
Maybe I'll pay more attention when i rewatch, but so far i just feel the butterflies when theyre being sweet together. 😁

Haha I understand the urge to finish a drama/book. Been there. 😁
But you'll eventually realize there are too many other good stories to read or watch to spend time on something as you said doesnt bring you joy.
Though Moli is giving me lots of joy. 😁 I've checked the other ongoing dramas, and Moli is the only one i actually watch. 😅

Exactly. Let ye li have her sister and little brother. 😭
I dont trust mjl at all. 😭

Thanks. Ive been wanting to read a comparison to the novel. Will read it after the drama ends.😁

But for her to gain power/position, she didnt care who she stepped on and get rid off.
Emperor is young and could be impulsive. i also do not like him that much. But i think he has room to grow and he still have a conscience.

Same.. 😭
In a preview sis in law said she didn't do those things for the Mo family
And i read a theory that sis in law is afraid that if mxy dies in battle, it may break ye li's heart and make her feel lonely again. Then triggering her mental illness. Having a child may ground her and make her feel less lonely. Sis in law did go through a lot in her grief. I can sort of understand her thought lrocess

Why am i hearing death tolls for ye ying???

I am also upset with his reaction. But it's still reasonable so i could sort of understand why he did what he did.
He did regret it and i dont think he will break his promise this time.

She did put her thumb print on the divorce letter (?). But she left it in the mansion.
I dont know if that's enough or it has to be filed under a govt ofc for it to be official.
They also never mentioned it to anyone. Only that they quarelled.

I agree. I felt i could breath in between episodes.

Hm. I find their kisses sweet. 😊

I would agree with the other comments that it is abit cartoonish, but it's what appealed to me i guess. A lot of over the top and dramatic scenes. I had fun watching.
It could be for you if you like revenge dramas.
You can try a few episodes. You would already know if it's your cup of tea. It really has a diff tone from jadewind and first jasmine.

Hahaha that scene was so annoying.
I cant understand why ye ying still wnts to meet her husband.
I was impressed when i learned he knew how to fight. It was enough to actually save his assassin..

I did think of him. But i generally want mxy's branch of the family away from throne. 😁 Also, i dont think sister in law is built to be a mother of an emperor.

I would vote for mxy but i want him and yl to have simple, peaceful and long life. So lets just hope for this current emperor.

I could understand why, but i would side with Ye Li too.

For all the child emperors ive watched this 2026, he's the lesst impressive. Hehe
