Holy sheet the intrigue and plots after Consort Huang/Saya arc (that is, if she's really dead) are deeper than the Mariana Trench.

My heart cant handle all this suspense 😭😭 must reread it asap!

How do these shoujo princes do it? This guy managed to make the statement he'd already prepared a coffin for the MC sound romantic. (And I don't think he was joking.)

@Mintzu

Haven't the emperor and the MC already pulled that routine? (I may just be mixing this up with some other Chinese Imperial Court harem drama. I read too many of them.)

I'm guessing they're still in cahoots, and figuring out how they can make the empress dowager's plot backfire on her.

I am still half hoping it will be a conspiracy between her and the emperor to let empress dowager let down her guard. But what are the chances? Please give me hope 😭😭

Thank you for the chapter!
