What do you mean? She got her freedom...Her freedom was to be able get away from the emperor and his control... technically she did and if she didn't get the generals help in ANYTHING her power would be probably be detected and she'll have and even more horrible life under the emperor's control
She never gets to be away from the palace and live a normal life as she wished. She essentially can only love one of the few men who have ever shown her kindness, but at the same time he pretty much demands she be with him. Even her mother said “it’s the fault of the emperor AND the husband.” I feel like the best ending would have had her living with her daughter far away, able to meet people and have freedom. Beautiful story but the set up for everything felt terrible
