The Road to Splendor Episode 27

I noticed she's planning to visit Lord Wang — is that the same person as Commander Wang? 😳But I am expecting the Yus' next plan to be even trickier to get out of. Zhao Ling's presence in court is like a thorn in Lord Yu's side, and for them to succeed with whatever they have been planning, they need to get rid of him. They might get desperate and that means — raising the stakes of the game and even considering killing him if nothing else works. 😬I still consider Miss Wu a potential ally to Tingyun, and she could help bring down the Yu family from the inside.
