I forgot all about this drama after it was announced. Something to start this week! Now that it ended, I can bingewatch the whole thing. 😁😁

Me, too! I thought both Master Du and Mr Xiao decided to send the little girl to the crown prince for safekeeping in the palace.

I forgot that he was awake 24/7 for two weeks working on a chart for the Emperor. I didn't follow what the chart was for.

He saved both lives.

If she leaves the Bureau, she might go looking for Cui in his hometown.

He is probably ruling by example. How his father ruled the kingdom.

I am wondering if Emperor is trying to protect his dead father's legacy. Previously, one of the characters said that the old emperor thought the Prince LI was planning a rebellion, by bringing his Iron Army into the capital. If he didn't trust his son, he might have told Cui to seize the Prince. Did Cui take it one step further, and order Lu Chong Shan to wipe out the entire family and servants? Emperor has regarded his children as expendable. We haven't seen his crown prince either.

He might be calling in a Sick Day. 😆 I am waiting for Mom to beg Pei Yi to save him.

I was confused why he was lying in bed. He was not previously injured. He might be pretending to be ill, waiting for Pei Yi to rush to him, to beg for his forgiveness.

Isn't Pei Yi's father's title, Prince of Duan? They keep showing the title in front of the mansion. What is HDY? Emperor was crown prince fifteen years ago. Li Pei Yi referred to her father as "Your Majesty's brother, when she was speaking to the Emperor.

Was Emperor, who was the Crown Prince at the time, jealous of his brother's (...Prince Duan) popularity? So, he allowed Cui to execute the massacre?

Emperor is weak. He threatens Pei Yi, but he is afraid of his ministers. Guess what? Chancellor Cui might be planning to overthrow him.

He might be lying in bed, hoping Li Pei Yi will run to his bedside. Mother Xiao might beg Li Pei Yi to save her beloved son.

That old saying, "Vengeance is mine!" Li Pei Yi was on a roll, but Xiao Huai jin stepped in and saved Wrong Chanceller Cui's life.

He might be laid up for another episode.

XHJ has a fragile ego. Pei Yi ripped out his heart. Did he really expect her to thank him for saving Cui's life? He's been reading the star charts too much.

Once Xiao Huai Jin initiated the royal marriage contract successfully, his ego must have inflated. He thought he could capture Lu Chong Shan, and proceeded to intervene on Wrong Chancellor Cui's behalf. He is so intelligent that he should have put himself in Pei Yi's shoes, and imagine what it would have been like, if Cui had massacred his entire family and household.

LOL The eunuch tag is on point. When you look back on his contributions throughout the plot, he does come across as a eunuch.

I agree with you 100%. ML looked like a princess lying in bed sick of a broken heart. He's been gazing at the stars too much. Really, Writer?
