And she does it at such a crappy time, too! Like, episode 17, or the eternal Merit Brush arc? Eh, whatever, won't work but at least they're not in the middle of a crisis. Keep your heterosexuality in your pants for a bit longer, please! I respect how the narrative handled it - explicitly pointing out that Shen Wei is the most important person to Zhao Yunlan, and Zhu Hong can't compete - but it did seem very out of place, like they were getting close to the end and went, "Oops, still gotta throw this in!" Maybe it could have gone in the Da Ji episode instead. (Then again, maybe Zhu Hong was simply waiting until Shen Wei was detained somewhere to strike... ... nah.)
Perhaps speaking to Ya Qing at the surface? (Imagine how incensed he'd be at gege escaping his grasp while he was instructing a minion!) This would be interesting to play with! I will have to come up with a suitable freeform. "Villain Incensed That Sibling Escaped From Bondage During Routine Minion Update", perhaps.
