Maomao's actions really made my heart stop for a moment.

And now she was seriously injured. Battered to the point of bleeding.

Didn't expect that Jinshi was down there. Maomao came at the perfect moment. If it's even a second late, I can't guarantee Jinshi's fate.

The best episode so far, period.
Lakan's face at the end was a cherry on top
Also would love to hit that guard's face with a meteor or smth, how DARE he do that to her

Oof, almost winced at that fucking mallet striking MaoMao right in the side of the face.

Also, what was with Lakan's expression at the end there to do with? Could multiple things IMO

@Ace-1 think it was anime original , but take a guess and say that he realised he might have been wrong about jinshi or he was shocked at how hurt maomao is but he can’t show emotion etc

Let me collect my thoughts first cause I'm overflowing with emotions right now.
Is Jinshi like an emperor or something? Why did Lakan looked so shocked there; was it because he saw his daughter's terrible state, or something more? I am feeling lost, and elated at the same time, it's making me feel uneasy.
Can't wait for the next episode! 😵😵😵

What an intense episode, probably the best one so far.

That hit to Maomao's face was brutal. I hope he pays for that. Jinshi was angry.

not a spoiler since everyone already watch the scene, but Ra Kan's was shocked because he didn't realize that maomao's face fucked so bad there, as MaoMao refuse to look back when she heard his voice

Whoa, what an exciting episode! All the plot threads converged to an assassination attempt, on Jinshi no less! I'm so angry at all the people involved who ended up getting our beloved Maomao injured!

Curious about Lakan's expression at the end. I doubt it was because of Maomao's state, so I can only guess he was very surprised for Jinshi to be related to the emperor?

I heard that the Go game transitioning to stones in the OP is a subtle spoiler, and now I finally understand it. It's so damn good.

Yep, that court lady is totally Suirei.
Every incident becoming connected like this is so epic
Judging by what I learned by watching Kingdom, that was a coronation.
Best episode so far, holy shit. But I wonder why did Lakan looks so shocked that Maomao managed to save Jinshi. I have a hard time believing that he just underestimated her, because he's seen her solve all these other cases. (I personally believe that Lakan played a big part in this and actually wanted Maomao to fail.)

This episode was the climax of the mysteries Maomao had solved. Why did Lakan have that look on his face? He looked surprised. I thought he planned it because Maomao thought he showed up at the perfect time and it seemed like in previous episodes it was his doing to meet Maomao.

Hmm, Maomao wondering about "perfectly convenient moment" when Lakan appeared, suggests that Lakan is behind this whole assassination attempt? I'm pretty certain he didn't want Maomao to get hurt, but if he truly is behind this, IMO he planned Maomao to save Jinshi, thus he may be planning to get them together? or maybe make Jinshi be indebted to his daughter perhaps?

Anyways, amazing episode. Poor Maomao getting hit in the face, then big wound on the leg (definitely gonna leave a scar). Though, wouldn't it be logical to close Maomao's wound first BEFORE carrying her away??? Jinshi my dude, she'll blead to death ffs!

Wait, next EP already? Aren't there supposed to be some materials happening BEFORE that? Or are they attempting to compress it?

There's still 4 EPs left after next week's. Are they trying to ccontinue to the next arc immediately?

The entire episode I was wondering how all of this was connected to Lakan and then he shows up.

Surprisingly enough Lakan did not look too happy with the result.

@kururugikai @Crez that was the correct choice from Jinshi. She isn't bleeding nearly enough for it to be life threatening (and if she was, the correct choice wouldn't have been to run but to first stop the bleeding before carrying her anyway).

However, she passed out from concussion. The worst thing you can do to someone with a concussion is handle that person's body in a way that shake the head. This is VERY dangerous.

All of those peoples in the other thread complaining that he didn't run?

...They may have killed her in reverse if they were carrying Maomao in place of Jinshi.

also was spectacle man part of the plan? let's see what happens the next 5 eps

I have just one question, was Jinshi attempting suicide? He didn’t show any emotion when Maomao saved him, and maomao was surprised at seeing Jinshi there, so maybe Jinshi normally doesn’t do that ceremony.

Damn too much has happened, its hard to start but need to get a doctor ASAP and why walk than running. the guard should be arrested for attacking Maomao.

The guard is definitely beyond screwed, but I'm just imagining the hell he'd be in if the other guard didn't restrain him enough and Maomao ended up getting extra messed up. Wouldn't be surprised if we actually got to see public execution.

Also kinda feel for the guy who tried getting something done about the building's pillar but got demoted for it. Dude's also the hidden MVP for helping Maomao put the pieces together.

@Kayro I'm not sure myself, because Lakan knows Jinshi has a higher status than him. And if he realized that he should have taken that servant stance which hids their gaze. Maybe he tought Jinshi was a eunuch as Maomao though lol. I think that expression comes more as a result that he is in hot waters now that his scheme has come to light. But if the assasination attemt really was his work then he shouldn't let Maomao get in. Idk that expression can be result of anything, including suppressed fatherly feelings.


On the other note, the guard is now my most hated character in the series, mf even winded up :<

@Zefyris Nah, still not excusing that he didn't see if anyone in the vicinity could help, even just some cloth to wrap around the leg or something would have surely been available somewhere closer than wherever he's carrying her.

WTF is her head made out of? Jinshi would be an alter pancake if that were me cuz I would've been out cold if not dead. Hopefully, next week she realizes he's not a eunuch. My guess has always been that he's a prince. Perhaps not the crown prince, but close enough.

I thought that maybe her bio dad figured everything out and was trying to save Jinshi in some twisted round about way, but now I think he planned it all. The shocked look on his face is a story I hope they explain.
