As for Ji Yunting and Qin Xiyue, while nothing was ever explicitly stated, the way Ji Yunting had unjustly berated He Lan Yun for Qin Xiyue's sake was plain to see.
The Emperor's expression was, of course, absolutely foul.
"Your Majesty, Qin Wan Yi knew full well that He Lan Yun loves Ji Yunting, and also that Ji Yunting doesn't love her back. Why would she still write a letter to Ji Yunting, urging him to accept He Lan Yun?"
