And I've read many sp0ilers of the novel too. Where the 'f***' do you think I didn't? Oh because I'm not defending a b**** empress who makes things hard for innocent people because she thinks the other person looks like someone else she found foolish, even though she didn't bother to even get to know the other person in the first place? Sounds like the b**** empress is the foolish one. And you think being friends with someone automatically makes what they do okay? So if a friend ever hits you out of the blue you won't fight back because it's their right to do so right? So Shuri definitely isn't the foolish one like the fool b**** empress thought. Bnaodfba.

I’m sorry but knowing how the story goes, I felt the need to defend the current Empress. The Empress is actually a good stepmom for the crown prince AND THE ONE THAT SET EVERYTHING UP IS THE CARDINAL, mind you. The crown prince is just a selfish, brat puppet of the church (and he didn’t even knew about it). The trial is just a test for our MC from Empress—wait and see. She’ll take it back later...

I dunno dude, a test? Goddamn so possibly making someone lose an arm. Tried in an imperial court and expected to lose the trial and that all could just be " taken back" holyshit you guys are saints
I mean, I know nothing about the spoilers so I am living in a perspective where the mc is right now and that shit is just nuh-uh

If you read the manhwa, you’ll know that the Empress is the Marquis’ friend. She wanted to take care of his kids when he die but the Marquis chose the 16-17 yr old Shuli to take care of his kids instead of her, his friend and Empress. The test is to see if this teenager has the resolve and power to protect her friend’s children. She has no intention to harm Jeremy at all. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍ I mean, y’all could read, and all info are being given to you. At the very least, you could have some tact and learn how to comprehend.

Kinda agree with rose over this just the fact that the kid even COULD have lost an arm is reason enough to back out. If you wanna test shuli keep it between the both of you and maybe don't.. Try to make Jeremy lose an arm over it?? Am I missing something cause it seemed like the empress is the one who decided to prosecute?? Was she manipulated by the cardinal?? Cause the cardinal considering just his position doesn't seem to have more power than the royal family??

Ikr? I just couldn't comprehend if she wanted to protect the kids why would she make the very kids she wants to protect be the one in danger. ( ̄∇ ̄")
Also dude Xiao you gotta chill hahahahaha I read it but that was the vibe I was getting. Since I haven't read where you are right now. That is what I see from this situation.

She's the fucking empress. The priest is of very high standing and has a solid reputation, as he is the tutor of the crown prince. So why would he want to harm the prince, and also this accusation could damage the relationship of the empire and the church. It's embarrassing that you don't realise this far that all characters in the story are three dimensional, with there own beliefs and thoughts.
istg I fucking hate that goddamn prince more than I hate mysef.
