also wonder if when she dies will she like reincarnate or like go back in time to before all this happens? or will that be the end?? hmm
I think we're underestimating how much power an emperor could have, but in these circumstances doesn't have. He could've EASILY blamed it on another person or training.
However, it seems the Empress Dowager has the ultimate power in this dynamic. The Emperor can't even decide to stay with the FL for a few days longer and needs to find legitimate sounding excuses to try to get his way...
yup exactly!! Usually the empress dowager still holds a lot of power since she is the mom of the emperor and has been together and sometimes ruled with the previous emperor. He already went against her for years when he didn’t have concubines cuz he loved fl but when it has been that long and no baby, he can’t really come with an excuse anymore.
but still want to see him suffer ofc cuz he as said did not handle things in the best way <3
It would be interesting if when the end came maybe the fox spirit will take her with him, or maybe be reborn again as you said. It just seemed like the fox pities her sacrificing herself.
okay i know yall are mad at him but u must remember that he is an emperor and he needs an heir, and hurting an emperor ESPECIALLY giving him an scar is an immediately death sentence AND not having any concubines at all is almost unheard of, and she got kinda crazy when it was brought up and literally attacked him, they’re both at fault for sure but he literally did not have a choice with the role he has and the rules of that time. i do still hope that she’ll die and he will be completely and utterly emotionally destroyed cuz he did not treat her well at all after the incident but still we need to understand, i truly think this could all have been changed if they communicated more before the incident and if the mother didn’t intervene like she did (and most probably did something so fl couldn’t get pregnant) but yah sorry for long rant but historically and realistically this one makes complete sense <3
