I can't believe she still hopes to become the Empress after all she has done, even if she escaped from this incident, chances of her becoming an Empress are almost non-existent, although it is nice to finally see that her actions finally caught to her, for the sake of her own selfish desires, she sacrificed her grandmother, her trusted servants and even her own mother with no regrets whatsoever, she never once thought those are people with emotions and they do not deserve to die to satisfy her greedy needs, but I wonder how will the grandma react to hearing about what happened to Mingyue? as far as I'm concerned she didn't die but was poisoned by Mingyue to frame her sister and she fell sick, if she got up how will she react to Ziyue becoming the Empress and Mingyue being charged with dangerous crimes? The grandma never liked Ziyue because she never liked Ziyue's late mother which is why she always preferred Mingyue outta pure spite, hope she too gets her serving of justice for the venomous daughter she tried so hard to protect.
