| Holy moly, who would've though that this case would become so convoluted and would reveal so many secrets! I hope Maomao will be alright. She is apparently connected somehow to Fengming. Or maybe it's another part of her adopted father's past? Jinshi might be actually the emperor's brother, hah. I wasn't surprised hearing Maomao considering this possibility. Jinshi and A-Duo looked alike, after all. Plus such trope we could see, with swapping babies important for the dynasty, would fit into that kind of stories. Poor Lishu, but at least one of her servants seems to have changed. Too bad it's the servant the most endangered to die by getting poisoned, as a tester, lol. Going back to Fengming, RIP. She had a plenty of interesting looking close-ups in this episode:  |
| Take off your eyes for couple seconds and you missed tones of information that given to the viewers like those lectures you have on the main subjects in university... That's how much focus I needed to fully digest this episode. Though I still didn't get what Jinshi said at the ending, about Maomao being kidnapped and what was the connection with her and Fengming family members. |
| What a great episode man. All of the stuff relating to Fengming was morally thought provoking, and I didnt think she would be executed to easily. Also Jinshi's identity has been hinted throughout the series but very explicably this episode, personally I realized it in the beginning and I'm glad that the ending confirmed it. |
 |
| So Jinshi is actually Ah-Duo's son? I've seen the empress and they look alike too |
 |
| In short, the lady in waiting is to be blamed by accidentally killed the baby of Ah-Duo with honey, and when that young Concubine came to her and said honey almost killed as a baby, this lady saw her as a threat, and not waiting Ah-Duo to find out, tries to kill her. Unsucessfuly as we seen in past episodes, but it lead to this investigation, thus a servant of Ah-Duo, knowing about this and wanting to save the lady in wait's (Feng something) hide, kills herself to prevent attention to Feng to come up again. And Feng chooses to take the blame for trying to kill the younger concubine Lings something, and die, to avoid having Ah-Duo, not only notice, but also avoid her having problems with such a scandal that could destroy her life, since hey, these are her's servants! In the middle of all of this, Ah-Duo son (which would be the first son of the current emperor) is not truly dead but was switched, with the son of the previous emperor (which is the dad of the current emperor), thus Jinshi is actually YES the son of Ah-Duo, and the son of the current emperor, NOT his brother. I think the current emperor and Jinshin may know this, same for Ah-Duo, which would make that scene with both drinking together very meaningful and the same goes for the scene before and after it. To summarize, an amazing episode with all these revelations, now will Maomao ever realize she was spot on? |
 |
| gotta admit, that moment between jinshi and maomao was pure delight, and a moment of pure vulnerability on jinshi's end. and it was so nice of her to indulge his tearful request hehehe |
       |
| How were the babies swap? That seems like it should be impossible to do. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Oh this episode was off the chart. Maomao's confrontation of Fengming, all the connections and secrets being revealed while building so much tension about Maomao's safety, so so good. The tragedy of Ah-Duo and the secret identity of Jinshi just add even more complexity. So excited to see where it all goes. Hearing how much has yet to be revealed in the web novel is driving me crazy, I need to know!! |
My Candies:   |
| Another good episode, as we learn more about the fourth and former concubine. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| the flower milk sucking part lol he should know she likes the taste of poisons and double check before he does what she does lol |
| I was kinda confused with the "baby swap" thing, but one thing's for sure. Jinshi might actually be Ah Duo's son, which makes him the prince. And I think this would be true considering that their looks are VERY similar. |
| Brro, that shit was retarded! The way she so confidently blabbed about her conjectures without a single piece of evidence was insane. The beginning of this episode was absurd. That was straight up some Sherlock Holmes bullshit reality warping detective work. Imagine if after she said all that crap, she was just wrong... This is still weird and gross. He's been touching her constantly since they met and she can't do anything about it or she'll e executed. They are not close, this is just weird. I don't like Jinshi one bit bro.  |
| I want more Ah-Duo. |
