It did feel plotless at times indeed.
Or perhaps they tried too hard to cater to the multiple varied plot lines that it ended up feeling somewhat pointless and plotless at times.

Thankfully, the king's tears (half the time I forgot this was the main theme and plot line), the "who's the spy", the Shanxi adventures, and Xue Qingchen/Su Wanxin plot lines concluded fully. And Yihuan also made it clear that it was Kangxi and not Brother Zhu for her.
Yet for all that, I don't regret having spent the time watching the show. I enjoyed it, quite a fair bit.

I mean, not only did Ao Bai haul Kangxi bodily from the room in front of the eunuchs and guards, he then proceeded to try to kill the king with a dagger, blows, punches and whatnot. And all he got for all that was a reprimand.
