2. Chancellor Li think he is so smart by spreading those rumor about Jiang Li but it’s going to backfire bigtime. If she solves the famine and gets the credit it will give her the patron saint status among the people and make her all but untouchable. Chancellor Li is playing with fire here.

   As for elder princess Wanning, why is she doing what she is doing? It seems she is doing everything she can to ruin and weaken her own country. Does she have Stockholm Syndrome when she was a hostage and is secretly working for the rival king?

3. “To defeat her, first let her run rampant.” Omg, does princess Wanning know the truth?
   I realize I’ve been neglecting the political hotpot that has been cooking up a storm in the background, and this episode served me a huge appetizer. And it all trails back to that bitch princess Wanning – I always knew she was not someone to be taken lightly and was involved in a bigger endgame. So much is going on here, lemme try to compose my thoughts:

   From the earlies, it kept bugging me as to how she got out of her situation as a hostage in enemy territory… and perhaps she made some kind of deal with King Chen, or, is intimately involved with him and undermining the country on his behalf. And Xue pretty much figured it out during the goldmine investigation when she put all the bits and pieces together before Xiao Heng some episodes ago! And we know Xiao Heng is secretly working under the emperor’s instructions to uncover King Chen’s private schemes apart from secretly stealing gold, and for Xiao Heng personally, how it ties to the demise of the former General, his father. All the Li`s are the princess’ puppet army doing her biddings, and surely the bedchamber puppet YuRong is tangled in as well.

   First the salt, and now with the goldmine exposed, the Li`s definitely wants to shut Jiang Li down from keeping Elder Xue alive since he initially unraveled the goldmine scheme. They probably don’t even care that he’s not in his right mind (if they even know), they just want him dead and tried to have him executed for fake corruption. His son also knew and was killed because of it😞 but luckily he hid the map as extra proof with Qiongzhi. Now the ball is in Jiang Li’s hands to defend what’s left of her Xue family name. But Li is so cruel that he is deliberately starving all the people along her route back to the capital just to incite hardships for her and all the witnesses… even going as low as to throw it in Elder Jiang’s face. And we know how that half-stupid self-preserving mind of his works, right? I won’t be surprised if he does something really dumb now 🙄

   Meanwhile, the more princess Wanning hears of Jiang Li resilience, the more she is setting her up for a major fall. Now I understand why Xiao Heng looked so angry that Xue figured it all out – he is concerned for her life if others know HOW MUCH she knows. But she is still willing to give her life to him and be his pawn if that’s what it takes to expose them ALL. And we know he will be right there beside her till the end 🪭💖. Princess Wanning has no idea that ‘Jiang Li’ is also not to be messed with either! Omg y’all, I’m scared but excited for what’s to come!

5. Geez, enough with the tears, even my sockets are drying out! Finally Ye Shijie is back on screen. For a main role, he barely got any scenes. Welp, she did exactly what they wanted her to do. In situations like this, to go toe to toe with truly vile people, ya gotta play on their level. When protagonists are too soft, you get a lot of good people suffering and antagonists reigning hell up until the last ep. It’s plots like this, I’d prefer a lead that is morally gray.
