I feel like the last reply was just an act of him saying he was alright and gonna be released, but in actuality, he was gonna be hanged. He just wanted his lover to have a great life in Qing because he knew that if he let him stay in Joseon, knowing that the news of him getting hanged would reach him, his lover would just torture himself to death. That’s why he acted all goody to not worry him and live the life ㅠ ㅠ

I hoped they at least had a panel where they met in the afterlife or something. It just breaks my heart to pieces knowing that he technically waited for nothing (´༎ρ༎`)
