Brutally taking the lives

Ofcourse it was quite shocking for Fan Xian to discover the Emperor in his mother's mansion, and even locking it down. And now the Crown Prince who was captured instead of Fan Xian intends to ally with Lin Ruofu, but LR doesn't trust him. The Crown Prince is trying to persuade Fan Xian that he'll support him together with Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, while obviously his intentions are clear, just as they were all discussing suddenly the clinking of the swords was heard and when LR's person went out to look it was a bloodbath, all the men were brutally murdered by someone, they refused to let the crown prince out cause his guards weren't the ones who came, it could be anyone, Now in the room of Four people only Fan Xian knows martial arts. Ah the only one Xie Bi'an, second prince's aid, I like Second prince so much more, just like the Director of Imperial Guards. He's here for Fan Xian so that his BroTher won't be able to persuade Fan Xian, and telling him that his brother is always a persuasive talker. It was really sad that all those people were brutally murdered by Xie Bi'an, their families outside the capital and they can't even be buried, cause it might bring harm to LR. Fan Xian and Wan'er had a heart to heart talk. While I do feel sad when I see Wuzhu. And now Fan Xian is summoned in Imperial Harem, his step mum (well I like them now, they look like family now) and RuoRuo will go with him, it'll be so interesting, cause he's heading there to remember the routes so he can break in later.

Heartwarming love

What a lovely romantic scene in this episode! It’s so heart warming to see these two genuinely loving each other’s company and able to express their feelings so openly. This is what a healthy relationship looks like and it made me happy to see them spending some simple, happy contented time together. No kissing, no awkwardness, just a loving hug enjoyed equally by both sides. Perfect!

Rant

Okay I'm starting to understand why people aren't feeling the couple because their scenes are getting boring for me too. I like both of them as characters but I couldn't care less about their alone time :') LOVE the guy with the bow btw
