| @LordCrueltyV ymmm i was joking....It turns out that half of the people here are more or less related to each other, that's why I wrote that it will turn out someday that Jinshi has a sister, etc. It was a joke English is not my language so it could be misunderstood |
| Tad bizarre Jinshi's noted to look like the deceased Emperor when Maomao noted how much he looks like Ah-Duo. Regardless, this episode shows that it can go an entire episode without the main character, and still be quite phenomenal. |
| Gyokuyou having a stable labour still holds everyone on their throats, even with the breech birth avoided thanks to Maomao's treatments. But this has been 10 days since her disappearance, and Gaoshun having new information about the missing eunuch, who apparently went to the graveside of the Emperor's deflowered to pray for the deceased, an old woman of Shenlu, however, reaccounts something different about Jinshi and even knowing something about him enough to almost poison and oust herself before he could lose composure. The fact of her insult against Jinshi being the illegitimate child of the Emperor and trying to rid himself of that position, all for it to come back haunting to him. For her to be praying to Taihou, one of the lady-in-waitings who attended the seemingly insignificant ghost story session with Maomao and Xiaolan, everything is slowly connecting together, to Concubine Loulan, enough for Jinshi to confront her. Everything about Loulan and her setting being of the cunning fox, Jinshi being able to mark all of them within a space of time, even figuring out that one of the servants was disguising as Loulan, the full-on investigation didn't bear any fruit anymore since she was committing a serious crime in all of this by leaving the rear palace without any aforementioned word. Of course, with Lakan knowing the fact enough to rescue his own daughter out of his overprotective goofiness, and the fact that things within the rear palace are thrown into chaos with missing people like Shishou, there seems no way out of this...until Kan Lahan shows up and provides irrefutable evidence to Jinshi, prompting a further thorough look-through into the matter. Everything is connected...though where it leads to, is anyone's guess... |

I think they are also trying to recruit Maomao to their side. When Suirei offered knowledge of the false death revival medicine, it was a bid for Maomao's alliance. It doesn't look like they are treating her roughly in the rebel town.

| @Khashishi that is true. Gaoshun also said something something keep Maomao on our side |
 |
| Wow, I've rarely seen Jinshi so much angry. |
| Another great episode! Jinshi is desperate to find Maomao that he lost his cool. |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |

Idk if i will get a reply but can someone please help me understand this episode?:
Spoiler alert all down for those who havent watched this ep :-
So to confirm now loulan and shisui are the same person? And loulan used to sneak out and then be shisui?
And whatever jinshi saw about loulan and her dad what was it really after seeing the taiho’s grave and WHO IS TAIHO?!
If i am assuming right loulans dad is the heir to the throne cause he cant see red, right? And he is trying to kill jinshi and slowly the whole rear/inner palace or outer whatever through his daughters? Taiho was the one who told the ghost stories and was a victim of previous king pedo shit so but taiho carried the kids of some other noble and they were shisou and soushi? (Sorry if I misspelled the sisters names)

| @SinLegend Yes, Loulan is Shisui. Taihou was the lady in waiting for a concubine that was sent to the palace from the Shi clan. Taihou gave birth to the daughter that was exiled with the doctor during the pedo-emperor's reign. While the daughter and doctor were exiled, Taihou was forced to stay in the rear palace until she died, which just happened some time after the ghost story episode. Answering anything else will be a spoiler that is explained later. If you want spoilers now you can just look up Shishou's wiki page and the characters he's connected to. |

| We see in this episode that Jinshi is quite perceptive himself, catching out Shenlü and Loulan's body double. It's nice seeing him take such strong action for his beloved Maomao's sake. I did feel a little sorry for Renpu though, she did get yelled at out of nowhere. And now it's pretty much confirmed that the Shisui = Loulan theories were correct. I'm curious to learn her motives for infiltrating the Rear Palace, along with her sister Suirei and how exactly they're related to Taihou (ghost story lady). I also wasn't expecting Lakan to have an adopted son, things are certainly getting interesting... |

Thank you for replying! Just one more thing is the daughter= suiren( idk if i said the right name) who faked her death and faked being a ex slave eunich?!? I am just saying this thinking cause of every details shown in series till now. This detail wont be much spoiler since i have thought that much
| @SinLegend The fake eunuch is Suirei and no, she's too young to be the exiled daughter. The exiled daughter incident is why the rules were changed and Maomao's adoptive father, Luomen, was forcefully castrated to help deliver Anshi's baby, the current emperor. The current emperor is around 35~, making the exiled daughter even older than that. |

| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| Lol at everyone losing their minds over Xiaomao's kidnapping while she's most likely chilling at that inn in Suirei's village/town. Also, this is the second time they bait us with Gyokuyou's imminent childbirth. Not cool, man :/ Nice! Finally an episode that made me feel a certain level of investment while watching it. Last time this happened being with the "colored doors" episode from many weeks ago. This said, having an entire episode focused on Jinshi playing the detective role for once was truly refreshing and though some of his conjectures seemed kinda contrived, it all still felt more natural than having Xiaomao instantly solving cases because the plot gifts her with the knowledge of 10 lives. . . . Wait... Xiaomao has a brother?! |
| Don't take candies from strange emperors. Ick. |
| Is this week episode delay again? |

I’ve only just noticed this, but why does the late emperor, who is Jinshi’s biological grandfather, look so similar to Ah-duo, Jinshi’s biological mother? It’s going to be wild, but I have a theory, so let’s begin: The late emperor had a baby with Anshi’s (the Empress Dowager’s) previous lady-in-waiting, Suiren, who is Ah-duo’s mother. This would make Ah-duo the current emperor’s half-sister. The story never hints or mentions who Ah-duo’s father is, but the resemblance between the late emperor and Ah-duo is striking—not as much as between the late emperor and Jinshi, but still close. Since Suiren was so close to the imperial family, it wouldn’t be too wild to assume this happened. Both Ah-duo and the current emperor were raised together by Suiren and later had a baby, Jinshi. Additionally, Ah-duo holds some power within the palace. |

| So Shisui = Loulan? Anyway Jinshi being the mastermind here shows a different side of his personality. Lahan is an interesting character too |
 |
| What a twist of fate! One mystery after another. It felt like being instructed to watch this unfold again without pause, to truly grasp the depth of the mystery surrounding the Rear Palace. |
 |
| very confused. hope they begin the expedition soon or we get some info on maomaos situation |
| Was hoping the news of Maomao's disappearance would reach Lakan soon, so that the search would end faster. I like how Lakan's adoptive son is just like his dad, similar to Maomao with Luomen. Maomao's family is OP man, they can solve almost everything |
 |
| Absolutely flabbergasting. Shenlu figures out that he's the emperor's brother instantly. Loulan ISN'T LOULAN. Lakan has an adopted son that has a dog like manner. My mind is spinning with all the crazy things happening right now. The fact that all of this stuff just weaved together so smoothly is astounding to me. Suirei would go to the graveyard, where they find Shenlu and makes us realize that nobody expect the elders really know about the late emperor. To find more info, they go to Loulan, but Jinshi realizes that she ain't Loulan, and just another lady-in-waiting. This explains why she barely talked and was just silent throughout the entire show. Then after Lakan crashed out over Maomao being gone, Lahan bartered his research on the rise of material prices to discount the fixing of his dad's destruction. It's not just the things that happened this episode. It's HOW they happened. Truly amazing. |

| Fucking Shisui is Loulan! I've never seen those two together! I'll give it to this show man I did not see that coming at all. Now they're even trying to say there's two them and they are half sisters hah |
 |
| Angry Jinshi is a great sight! Now he really wants to find Maomao. |
 |
| Damn, the plot just keep thick-ing and it won't stop. SO MANY CONSPIRACIES. I truly wonder how far back it goes. And now the thing with Loulan and the feifas. Though the first thing thst comes to mind is some type of coup or invasion. I mean, why would would you want such weapons. Ah, what am an amazing episode. I can't wait to find out more. Though it seems that we're going to Maomao's part next episode, which is a bit of a letdown. But we'll see what we learn from that. |
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |
