It's an amazing line! I literally had to go and watch the exchange again, though the episode as a whole is so painful. Oh Jing, why are you so distrustful (oh yeah, everyone died...) The "stop where you are" one preceding it is surprising, but the striking element comes from the breach of etiquette in desperate circumstances. It is nothing compared to what comes next - which is of course what the viewer has been thinking for the entire episode. And it seems to come out both of the situational desperation but also the hurt felt by MCS. What the hell has happened, he must be thinking, for him to be turned on like this? Prince Jing, I do like you, but you need learn from this experience!
I love Consort Jing, she is so very, very clever and part of her cleverness is that she's built this position over 20 years whereby what she is good at it acknowledged, but the other things that she's good at are completely unknown.
