This scene is an outdoor shot, and it requires hoisting high on the Weiya.
Xia Siyu plays the big Antagonist, who not only rules the court but also knows martial arts. Xia Siyu plays three roles in one. First, a treacherous concubine with power second only to the emperor. Second, a gentle and graceful noble lady in front of the male lead. Third, the Secret Guard Leader, rumored to possess high martial skills.
Of course, with such a high position, she usually doesn't need to take action personally; she generally hands it over to her deputies. Only when the task is most tricky and secretive will she kill personally. And when she appears as the Secret Guard Leader, she usually wears a mask to prevent recognition.
The scene being reshot is her first appearance as the Secret Guard Leader, killing a court minister who has always opposed her. On her way back, she encounters the male lead, and her mask gets caught by a tree branch in a fleeting glance.
