Don't hate me but I kinda feel sorry for Rashta, if we were seeing this from her perspective we would be choosing her side. Of course, I love the Empress but, I kinda understand why Rashta is doing this, she's just trying to survive that's all.

I really did feel for Rashta and honestly, the plight of a slave is unimaginable/ cruel. However, her framing her maid and the duchess for entertainment is quite twisted. She revels in another's misery. It's another thing to plot against your enemies, but to plot against those innocent....sigh. While her concubine position is not permanent, she can still be dismissed with quite a few rewards for being a king's former interest. The king wouldn't be cruel to her.
pick up your torches lads!... and maybe some killing equipments, we off to find our dear Seongho's father. Let's have a little chat with him. What'd ya say?
im bringing the knifes and fire and u know some poison when we have some 'tea' while having a chat with him :)
