The title, Committing Crimes, reminded me of this scene from Repo Man.
In the drama, my impression was that Mu Qing and his men found Sima Lie first. Here they actually break into where the Imperial guards rest to beat the man up.
I think Sima Wei wasn't exiled. As I'm rereading, I see the son was exiled but the father demoted in rank. But exile for either of them does seem extreme compared to the milder punishments given to lady Yue and the Crown Prince, particularly as she was the mastermind.
Nihuang keeping her emotions in check until the Emperor starts talking about punishing Prince Jing and then her face is all "oh no you didn't"! Hee
Yu is an idiot if he really thinks Jing and Nihuang are going to be grateful for this. It could be a sign that he's more about appearance than substance.
Why does Little Prince Mu mention the relative sizes of the residences? That is odd. He says it in relation to her avoiding the palace (and I love that he says the palace isn't a good place) and of course the palace would be larger than both of their residences, but so what?
