A'ruo was naturally someone who is short-sighted, prideful and incredibly delusional. She got looked at by the Emperor once, and immediately thought he had fallen in love with her. Through the lead up to her betrayal, she thought that Ruyi scolding or lecturing her was because of jealousy. She believed that she was destined for more than just a palace maid, so resentment came from there. After Ruyi came out of the Cold Palace, I'm sure A'ruo was also full of guilt and paranoia too.

A Ruo empezó a odiar Ruyi despues que Ruyi se volvió concubina del emperador. A Ruo no aceptaba su condicion de esclava y sirvienta y soñaba en ser una consorte. Y Ruyi obtuvo el titulo de Consorte del emperador sin tener hijos. Un titulo de alto rango. A Ruo se volvió contra Ruyi por envidia.

A Ruo tenía envidia de Ruyi porque ella era una esclava y Ruyi era una señora. Basicamente esto. El odio nació de la envidia.

I am also thinking, considering what happens next episode, that A'Rou did, privately, actually tell Emperor the truth about these powerful, scheming women who seriously desire Ruyi's death. He lied, then, to Ruyi's face...and lets them go unpunished. "A'Rou has confessed; there is noone else." 😠🤬😤

As much as I despired the Emperor, he is in a really difficult position to just investigate and do whatever he wants. His job is to maintain peace and stability. That being said, if A'ruo did confess something, the chances are, he would continue investigating in secret - he just can't do it publicly.

@@dominaiscna Yes, perhaps he did! Meanwhile, I would like to have seen him regularly remove those attendants most close to their conniving Mistresses ... In doing this, he would seriously hinder the build-up of toxicity easily available & most useful to their evil plans.
