Opting for an easy way out (telling lies) turns out to be more costly in the long run. TRUTH should always prevail, which was not the case here. Palace life is suitable only for evil people. Ruyi couldn't survive because she got her hands soiled with blood in the very beginning, by protecting a murderer. Spiritual insufficiencies always catch up in the physical realm, no matter how long it takes.

​@@notabolished1331 She had to. Otherwise she would have joined her aunt and there will be no story 😂😂😂😂

She’s the besttt need more series w her! Nobody cud hve played taiho bttr dan her!

嗯嗯，周迅演技超級棒的！

演技賊棒！

是呀，但是康熙的时候是智囊，雍正的时候是及时雨，乾隆却偏偏成了昏庸。真的是不知道乾隆是怎么用人的

@@user-xy3it1fh7n 三代裡面 乾隆自己才是最昏庸的

@@user-biggerthan30 是的！ 乾隆就是個吃飯筐中央的軟貨！

到乾隆時，張廷玉已經老了.

大家都认为梅花开代表如懿原谅，可我觉得未必。梅花是开了，但是却不开给他看了。

所以你也不懂如懿的境界 她根本對皇帝不悲不喜、無恨無愛 沒有什麼原諒不原諒的問題

對啊！

Lol watch the prequel Legend of Zhen Huan and you’ll know why that empress had to go

@@ellararitan3649 I've seen it, I think the official wanted to say something as an ex empress was having a burial of a concubine wasn't a good thing

No she should be in her early 20s by now. She was married at 16/17. If the show follows history, Qianlong ascended to the throne 8 years after they wed.

你說的沒錯 不過姑母犧牲生命是為了換取如懿存活的 假如如懿這時候還去爭論這些 太后難道不會立刻想辦法把她處理掉嗎？ 那麼這樣一來姑母的犧牲也就沒有意義了

@@pumpkinspicelatte4448 其實我是針對整部戲裏的感覺做出這發言的啦，看到最後的感想就是如意完全沒把姑母被甄嬛逼死這件事情放在心上，後續也是一直在拍甄嬛的馬屁，偏偏她又是女主所以又總有一些有的沒的理由來合理化和美化她的動機，不過痕跡感太重才會讓我還是忍不住想吐槽。

這是兩全其美方法 一來 景仁宮能有體面的葬禮 也能入葬嬪妃園寢 二來 如懿及其家人 才有安身立命之處

@@user-op4zy9qz4d 懂你的意思 後來如懿就自然而然的忘掉姑母了 也沒有遵循姑母臨終前的要求 不過她的確是女主啦… 劇中要呈現的就是她選擇跟太后和解

She would've died if she hadn't

@@hederlisa No. The Emperor would have protected her and sanctioned the Dawager, maybe locked up for life or something WORSE. You don't fight evil with more evil (lies telling to protect a murderer).

@@notabolished1331 And the Dowagers supporters would've killed her or worse. She would've caused problems with the stability of Qianlong's early reign by telling the truth. When the politics would've ensued, Ruyi had no supporters and no family to back her up. Qianlong's love was never enough to protect her, which is why she lied to get the Dowager on her side. The Dowager also proved her worth later by protecting Ruyi's son and preserving him into adulthood.

@@hederlisa Then it would have been much better dying in the beginning, than go through what she went through endlessly, and then regretting everything as she did bitterly. The palace is not meant for good people.

This Empress Dowager told both her and Qinyin (Ruyi) that she would only allow one woman from the Ula-Nala family in the palace. So Jingren, as Ruyi’s Aunt, sacrificed herself by taking the poison the Empress Dowager gave her.

那是為先帝服喪，不是為景仁宮

是先王死了，纔穿的孝服。

好，謝謝你們，長知識了！

Poison in her tea . Which she willingly drank in front of her niece . She did indeed witness the death of her aunt , the deposed empress . But the poisoning would be the choice between the old empress or Ruyi . The aunt made the choice and gave her life for Ruyi . The dowager made them choose ....Ruyi took the heat off the real murderer the dowager ......No investigation was ever made .. The emperor knew the truth , but let it slide . Because the dowager had raised him .....FYI

Zhen huan poisoned him ❤️

@@lanadeltaco9yearsago560 the question is about the emperor so it's sickness

@@alanlee7812 they're asking about the old emperor (yongzheng) and if you watch empresses in the palace , zhen huan and lanyi literally poisoned him

@@lanadeltaco9yearsago560 that's not the real history im Taiwanese so we study Chinese history
