Ashes to Crown Episode 22

They are speeding up even more

It looks like they are rushing through the plot even more now, just jumping from one scene to another as if it's nothing, and ruining the drama even further. 🙄 And with that, they simply aren't allowing us to connect with the characters enough anymore.A prime example of this is Yanfang. This episode made me wonder whether he is discovering some actual feelings for A'Zhao. I know his ultimate goal is to get what he has always craved—power—but at the end, when he couldn't bring himself to shoot her, I think it was meant to show us that he does care about her on some level. Not sure if love, but something... Also, was his little act of jealousy about Yanlai genuine, or still just an act to look that way? 🤔As for Xiao Xun poisoning his father? Right, okay... I guess he needed to do that to become the leader in his father's place and take control of his army, because I don't see any other reason for it. Is there one? Also, him still wanting to make A'Zhao his empress after everything they have been through... does he really think he can convince her into such a union? 🤨😒On a brighter note, Yanlai teaming up with the Northern Desert King was the best part of this episode. Desperate times call for desperate alliances, I guess! 🤝⚔️🔥
