I think she got what she deserved,the queen that is, after killing her first child,then zc's chuld and then finally princess yide,now she's trying to yse the prince. That's a true wicked wiman right there.
ReplyDeleteThanks 4 the chapter, it really is satisfiying. Though I already knew this gonna be a sad ending, but this chapter makes me hope it gonna be good ending.
ReplyDeleteThank you for update...😘😘😘
ReplyDeletelol wow He went and did it. he showed his real self. ahahhaha well... violence against a lady isn't very gentlemanly. he is abusive. oh so very abusive. I'm kinda... laughing. ahem. because zc and my are actually foils no? they both lost themselves... and yet ZC has a heart and people who love her but MY doesn't. it's kinda funny
ReplyDeleteMany thanks
also QS, the real MVP.
Although I don't condone violence against women--or men, for that matter-- I think MY's still being lenient towards JB. If it was me or any other person who found out their spouse killed their child I would have lost my rationality & strangled her bare handed myself. Sure I get that MY's just keeping her alive for her supposed usefulness to him, but JB should be thankful that she gets to keep her life because of that. I feel conflicted for JB as this happened (sad & relieved at the same time) because she was suddenly & cruelly awakened from the princess dream that she's having where everything was just perfectly going her way & she finds out that her reality's really an unthinkable nightmare she can't escape from. But I feel that she needed for this to happen because she can then question herself if everything she's done in the name of her love was truly worth it & maybe repent for it you know? Time to finally grow up, JB. I'm shocked by MY as well. It's now confirmed that Jiang Sanyi's conclusion about Murong Ruo raping JB was all part of his grand plan to become the emperor. MY's turning out to be more twisted & more sadistic than I thought. I wonder what ZC will think of this if she knows the truth. She should be more careful when scheming & being chummy with Daxi Qin. It was a close call this time, cheers for Qiu Shu's fast thinking. I agree with the above post, QS is indeed the mvp of this chapter. Thanx for the update!
ReplyDeleteJB doesn't deserve this tbh. Yes she killed her own kid but this is all MY's fault.
ReplyDeleteWhat Jiang Bilan got in this chapter doesn’t compare to her killing 2 of her own children and kicking Ah Zou in her stomach killing her child. In this chapter she got it lightly. Once her child becomes king she will be empress dowager. So she still has it good if she just plays her cards right.
