Dr Ghost

in novel Ye shi ji was single but drama has deviated from the novel multiple times.....so who knows !

She said it herself; I knew you wanted to get rid of Jiang Li and Jiang Yue for me but I don't want the murder (to her mom) and she also didn't refuted Jiang Li, when she told her, you mom set me up.
Hence she knew and played along cuz it served her purpose, though she is without any fault in current poisoning scenario.

To be fair, she knew her mom smacked her eldest sister in the head and tossed her into the pond. She is old enough to know that, murder is bad but still went on with her mom's plan of ruining FL life.
So, I don't know how to feel about her current "Fall from grace" but I just hope during her stay in Luoyang, we won't have to put up with her romance with Ye family cousin.

She can't shake off the blame that a person she bought tried to commit massacre there. I just hope Jaing Ruo Ruo don't have to suffer the consequences of her behaviour.

Who knows !

No she won't be able to do that again cuz now everybody knows about her misdeeds including the Duke Su guards, who will threaten to expose the affair to deal with his father.

but the bitch that deserve to die didn't !

They can't kill her directly and expose the affair cuz it will hurt Jiang Li father reputation, so slow poisoning will be used to deal with her.

Happy Birthday !

You are right but also wrong cuz he has no proof to back his words and between the "imperial diviner" linked to the princess and the Step-moms powerful family with concubine Li as her backer.
Who will Jiang family believe?
Its just a weird situation, I am supposed to pity her but I don't pity her at all. You reap what you sow and she murdered his kid and tried to burn him to death too, but at the same time he isn't any better either. According to information provided by the princess, he did helped her kill the concubine and is now providing his services to trash-mom to kill the Fl.

He wants to use the situation to destroy her will and man got half-baked to death in that fire, so he probably lacks any resemblance of sanity now. I bet he was very rough to her, trash talked alot and did near rape things, all that just to satisfy his animalistic urges...people are "F" wired mam and some mfos are into that shit !

again I not defending that "piece of shit" actions but this was mutual transaction!

I don't know how to define it cuz her ex-lover gave her a choice, if she want to hurt/kill FL she has to sleep with him/beg him. So, he didn't held her hostage, threaten to leak their old affair or threaten with something she had no choice in.....if it was any of the above-mentioned scenarios....it was rape !
but there was no threat to her life or wellbeing there and she wanted to hire him for murder, and the price he set for his compliance was "Sex". She had the choice to walk out of the deal but to her murdering someone was more important than her Chasity!
I would like to make it perfectly clear here, I am not supporting that ex-lover bastard at all but he gave her a choice, an awful choice to be exact in order for him to commit even worse crime.....Murder !

May be cuz he is from concubine and Emperor is from his legal wife/Empress.....in inheritance like scenarios legal children have precedence over the ones from concubines !

Yep !

I am very happy this drama is doing fine but please stop bringing Joy of life 2 into it cuz it incites fan war, that being said I really hope this drama opens directors eyes to the capability of the FL.
She is a rare gem, if polished correctly can stand up to top dogs of the game !

Damnn I never thought about it but I am pretty sure brother lover-g.f in the brothel in Luoyang asked multiple high-ranking officials before making this call but considering princess mental sanity, anything is possible !

Yep you are spot on, he hides in mansion for few hours and then reappears after ML seem to have forgotten about his lashing, makes sense if he got punished daily. He would be down for weeks and it will only cause inconvenience to the ML cuz he has to face assassins without his guard.

Not gona lie....he deserves some of them !

I personally believe sooner or later, poor Wen Qi will be caught in crossfire between the leads and will be punished unjustifiably. I hope they give him romantic angle with Tonger !
