Like the way it portrays it's manipulative characters. We know the red flags cuz we're reading it from everyone's perspective. But to Minhu, he doesn't even know yet that he was raped, bound and soul tied to the ML on his first night in this world and the ML faked hostility the moment Minhu opened his eyes.
Plus the minister (Nitau?) treats him well enough for Minhu to believe that he really was trying to get him home when in reality Nitau just keeps putting it off and probably has no plans to ever send Minhu home cuz the emperor would kill him.
The emperor plays such a good "changed for good" character that I doubt anyone wouldn't be swayed unless they could read his mind like we can.
Minhu probably can't see all these red flags around him cuz he's subconsciously rejecting the idea that there's not a single person who truly cares about him in this world. Not to mention he belongs to a peaceful world and hasn't ever been in a situation like this.
