The Rise of Phoenixes 天盛長歌 (2018), Episode 44

This is one of my other favourite Ning Yi/Ning Cheng interactions in the drama. Ning Cheng is so devastated that Ning Yi is leaving him behind. He's never been separated from him for more than three days, so the attachment is real. And again, we have Ning Yi sitting casually on the steps as Ning Cheng is knelt obediently in front.

Ning Yi clarifies that he wants Ning Cheng to carry out work for him.

This part really gets me, when Ning Yi goes "Ning Cheng, you're grown up now. I'm relying on you." It makes me think that Ning Cheng was probably supposed to be maybe a late teen in this drama (though the actor is an adult).

Wu Ying was supposed a eunuch sent to spy on Ning Yi, and eventually he came to join Ning Yi's side. Look at how fondly he's looking on. He understands that this isn't a master and servant. This is a big brother trying to wean his little brother to be less attached, but also a prince who needs his trusted bodyguard to truly be an extension of him.

Ning Cheng trying to be a big boy.

Ning Yi then moves down one step to be on the same level as Ning Cheng.

This is Ning Yi trying to show some love, because he knows that Ning Cheng is struggling with feeling abandoned. And ugh, this always got me. We rarely see Ning Yi show affection because he's just so goddamn guarded and he's showing it now T_T

And now it's back to master and servant.

"Anything happens to him and I'll kill you both."

And as Ning Cheng takes one last look at his master, Ning Yi just waves him away without looking at him. And it makes me think that this is Ning Yi really wants Ning Cheng to understand that he's a big boy now, and Ning Yi needs him to more than just fight for him. He needs him to help him in his quest for justice, and that's more than just punching and kicking, it's using his brain and doing what Ning Yi would do in navigating palace politics.

Though she was charged with fraud, there is no sign that this was a Ponzi scheme. There were real assets. Many of her creditors defend her. "This whole case is not Wu Ying's fault. She borrowed money to do business, not to spend on luxuries. If they hadn't toppled her we would have made more money," insisted one, who lost more than 15m yuan (£1.5m). Supporters claim Wu was singled out because "she annoyed someone" and lacked connections. Some think she upset influential creditors or rivals; some that she refused to pay bribes. Her case is not about enforcing the law, they argue, but about the law being enforced selectively – and excessively – when the interests of money and power coincide. Many see such links between wealth and power, on a grander scale, as the biggest obstacle to reforms. Others think the risks of instability posed by restructuring finance, state enterprise and the labour market are simply too threatening for leaders.
