When she said I will spend my life with you, I thought it was romantic. Now I realize it was a threat. She literally owns him. The way she looks at the ministers before ordering their execution shows zero mercy. Zhao'er is a queen who plays the long game.

He really asked her to be his empress right after she cried. His devotion is absolute, even when she turns deadly. The line Then I'm yours sealed his fate. Watching him cough while obeying her orders adds a layer of tragedy to his character. Complex love story here.
