I- that was stupid, irrational and illogical in every sense. I know chinese drama characters can be dumb sometimes to add to their 'innocent carefree' personality, but i didn't actually expect them to be literal with the dumb part. Sorry, I'm out the moment they actually listened to the woman and spouted those words. Did their brains not have the capacity to think about the meaning they hold or the consequences? Also, why did she lie? Yes she might be killed by the woman and drag her entire family down with her. She should be smart and get insurance from the emperor to protect them and their families if she speaks the truth. Then she gets happy when her oh so loving white knight constantly tries to do his job as the empress's strategist as well as save her dumb ass? Not gonna lie, that's kind of messed up if you're happy you dragged someone into you death penalty oopsies. Excuse my rant but I've never been this annoyed about an episode in my life.
