her father really is the culprit he was in relationship with the empress before their marriage that is they are lovers and after emperor died he will again start relationship with her and he will help empress to kill ethan something like that but fl doesn't know her father is guilty and Ethan doesn't inform her also.... she will think her father is innocent and tell him in the future that ML will put a fake crime on him and the ML was under the impression she was an accomplice, I believe she only begged to be killed alongside her dad but didn’t actually have the specific wordings to justify she wasn’t aware. The only reason she was alive at TL1 was because ML loved her and couldn’t bear to actually kill her. Who knows really, we don’t know the whole picture. We could assume prior to executing the father, the couple was in a tight spot losing their strongest supporter (1st Prince), the empress being evil (ML could justifiably be wary of her but what about MC who knew nothing and could be like some airhead whenever she’s invited to a tea party) I find it oddly hilarious going back to the question, ML had a terrible fixed idea that MC was evil by association once her father’s affair with the empress came to light or at least threatened his life but now in the new TL MC has been doing dodgy things where ML is suspicious again later on (this is from spoilers I saw in the forum)
