The sad thing is Ruyi never wanted to be the Empress her heart was not there. She only wanted to accompany her husband on his journey as Emperor. This is what she told Empress Dowager her mother in-law. The sad thing is all the women who did want the seat as the Empress didn’t know that the first Empress placed a curse on the throne for anyone who succeeded or tried to succeed after her death, she said that she would be watching from the other side. Also Consort Ling was poisoned to death as a symbol of how poisonous she was. Au’ro met the same fate being poisoned and then muted because she also wanted the Empress seat... but he told the first Empress that “Empress “ was just a title and position. Maybe that’s why he never made anyone Emperess after that. Consort Rong from the beginning told him that she didn’t love him. I guess he had to hear it from someone who was up close and personal she mirrored the Emperor. The Emperess Dowager told Ruyi that the person the most cruel and not to be trusted is the Emperor.

[@anniemysweet2085]

i love the looks on Yuhu's face, you can tell she wants to slap Ling even more than the emperor did

[@tamielestage1741]

This video never gets old. I need to see this every so often to remember evil people gets their karma serve hot.

[@pillowtrip]

The last half of this clip has the background music removed for some reason- highly recommend anyone watching this to rewatch the actual episode (can be found on youtube v easily). The music makes a world of difference and is incredibly powerful.

[@angelav2091]

I agree, but the subtitles aren't that comprehensible

[@teodora2979]

It might be due to copyright.

[@beckyweiss6072]

@@teodora2979 I think it is. I've seen this before with other videos. They take out part of the sound to avoid a copyright strike.

I’m glad she told him that she never loved him. A world like that is bound to create serial killers

[@charis7515]

This actress, who played Yanwan is so damn good... i really hate her to the end 😂

[@kateli1880]

She played very hateful character also in “Journey of Flower”

[@believensee8621]

The inturpreting of this clip is the best. I gave seen this clip on other channels but this one is most accurate.

[@screweverything327]

Take a shot everytime a consort screams ...Hwangshaaaaaa 🤣

[@tuesdae666]

Drunk by episode 2.

[@teodora2979]

Especially when they do their little scheming and then get caught.

[@manishanagane2360]

Other channels videos have wrong subtitles.... this is the correct one... thank you so much!!

[@maroInn85]

Actually if u understand she already won she made the king lived with regret of losing yr true love so doesnt matter in other if she die or not . She archived her goal .

[@JoeyMarx]

Hell, she achieved her goal of raising her family's reputation because it's her son that becomes emperor. Because, unless he had no other sons, her son should have gotten the same treatment that the sons of Jia got after he found out that she was scheming with his death in mind.

[@Lin-ri7qo]

Hailan is such a gorgeous name!!!!! So regal.

[@MsAlien911]

Excellent actress, all of them are good.

[@cholman4248]

It was so good to see her get what was coming to her. But Ruyi paid the price.

[@tararocksong5085]

But Ruyi got what she wanted most before she died in peace: Wei Yanwen paying for her crimes of murder, freedom from the palace’s webs of deceit and free from the long years of abuse by the Emperor. She’ll see her children in heaven and in the next life, Ruyi will meet a man who’ll love her for her true self.

[@Dee-cs6jp]

This is so satisfying.

[@TheBeastBandit]

I always felt a bit bad for Ling before she went FUBAR and started genociding every kid in the palace. She was a pretty maid that suffered many abuses and shitty treatments. She learned her cunning and cruelty from the Emperor, Empress Dowager, Jia, and Jin Zhong. It’s actually no surprise TO ME that she became who she did. I’m not excusing her actions, but she didn’t need to turn out this way.

[@sennataylor592]

True, but she’s also always been this way, just not to this extent. She’s been manipulative ever since the beginning, like when she dropped Ling Yunche because he was the lowest rank of palace guards, then immediately wanted him back as soon as he was promoted and she saw she could use him.

[@CygnusSilver]

Love this series it's right up there with Eternal love

She's a monster, but everything she said to Quianlong while she was dying is straight up truth tbh

[@jonnealespencer7446]

Consort ling son became emperor but that`s when the downfall of the dynasty started

[@misssecret471]

The downfall started during the later age of qiAnlong emperor. As he started to neglect his duties during his later age

Literally! This FUCKING comment!

[@dirgniflesuoh7950]

Her son tried to sort up and make revision of the mess his father left him. It did not make him loved. And the empire was in trouble bc new problems, and new rivals were added. Empires tend expand until they outreach themselves, and tends to go corrupt too.

[@scorpiostouch82]

I could watch this a million times and still be excited, it was way overdue. You reap what you sow Yewan!

My favorite scene. I can watch it over and over again.

[@goverlord]

That tired blink from the dowager empresses' servant, like she's seen it all before and it's just so tiresome, makes this scene that much better

[@fernandamendoza925]

[@dragonjoy1313]

I love how the emperor's right hand man is a woman!!!

She told him the harsh truth in the end. That was a cold pill to swallow

[@shuaiwang9448]

The Qianji Medicien killed the last emperor of Tang Dynasty by the first emperor of Song Dynasty. For he wrote a poem titled Corn Poppy to express his sorrow from dead of his country and his wife.

[@FF-ub7bn]

5:26 The slap that was heard around the world. 🤣 Someone should play that on a loop.

[@CocoCece08]

I added "Guile's Theme" to it. So worth it.

Til the end, she still blamed everyone else except herself... lol

[@samanthasmith6685]

I don't think the emperor was blind to any of the things that happened in his harem. Like he told his previous queen that he turned a blind eye to it per her being the empress. I believe that he didn't think ruyi had an affair I think the guilt he felt was over powering and when yanmen was giving him everything he want it was just a shroud. I feel like he treated ruyi the was he did is because he wanted everything. And in that he lost everything. Sad really
