i haven’t gotten to talk about the side couple yet & i really do enjoy them ，especially right now. i will say one thing i like about chinese dramas is that this is barely half+wat over but we have progressed so much. i get nervous whenever mulan plots have the hidden gender revealed so soon so i was alwaus nervous watching cui jin bai but i think they have handled it pretty well. this couple also compliments the main one incredibly well ，we have two—cat & mouse—games being played simultaneously & it’s fun to watch. AS FUN AS SHEN XI HE’s FAMILY ，MY GOD EVERYPONY IN THAT BLOOD+LINE IS HILARIOUS . . . i really enjoy her father he’s funny ！I’ve also been craving seeing her sister & other family we met the wei manor they’ve basically dissappeared which is a shame because i really enjoyed them.

I am enjoying this drama, I like the leads, and other cast members. I wish the F/L wasn't, so hard to get. She is not forgiving at all, and appears to play hard to get, or shes faking. At any rate, she is dragging it. I find BOP intriguing, with great M/A, and good acting. You can always count on , treachery, betrayal, great costumes and strong yet delicate, intelligent female leads, in Chinese dramas. I admire that. All in all, a great cast. I'm enjoying.

Highlights:
+ Got some glimpses into the emperor's past and info on the deceased Qian Wang.
+ The COMEDY TRIFECTA that is the crowd prince, the second couple AND Peter Ho. It was funny throughout! I'm seated and looking forward to all Peter Ho's antics.
Some thoughts:
- I find Vengo Gao and Jeremy Xu somewhat similar. Even though I know the spoiler about who Qian Wang's son is, I wouldn't be surprised if Xin Wang were also his son lol.
- Oh man, Lai Wei Ming's portrayal of Lei Wang is really good and distinctive. His movements in action scenes are strong, forceful, but still smooth and with such intensity. Although I haven't read the novel of "Daylight Lantern", I would have liked him as the young general ML more than Arthur Chen (and although Arthur Chen looks good next to Dilireba). Maybe give Lai Wei Ming a young-general leading role?

The opening scene is the Emperor looking at a pouch Prince Qian had given him. They were celebrating Qian being made crown prince and he had vowed allegiance to him. Prince Jian welcomed him as a brother and had complete trust in him. Dr Xie is sent back to town and the Crown Prince is giving the Duke some rest time before interrogation. He agrees to head back in two days and take the princess with him. He then shamelessly flirts with her at how well they can work together. She is interested but very reluctant about it. At the carriage to head to the Duke of Wei’s mansion they banter with her using her servant’s assist and pretending to check him for fever to slide her hand on by. She is now 2 to Crown Prince’s 0.🤣😂 His attempts to have his servant toss them back and forth on the journey was stymied by her servant. 🤣😂 He did score once in teasing her at finding him so capable with determining who and how many can get into east palace.🤣 was it poison or antidote the Duke took when they arrived? He admitted to buying the poison but that it was meant for Xiao JueChong who betrayed Qian in battle. He told him his dad was the adopted son of the Empress dowager but treated as a brother by Qian. The look Qian sent back towards his brother and the Duke said he knew something was off. But instead of exploring it he charged off to battle. When the flare signaled, the Duke was ready to go out with the troops but JueChong told them to keep the gate shut and defend the city unto death. He left Qian to be surrounded and defeated. The duke said the poison was to avenge Qian and never intended for a child. Duke Ying warned him to not trust his father as the throne was his objective over brotherhood. It is likely he would make the same choice between son and throne. The emperor is guilty of betrayal, but his face suggested something else was going on. That someone was forcing him to do the unthinkable. Whose life was more important to him than his brother’s? Was he forced between choosing his brother or son and then betrayed with his son being poisoned? The Crown Prince is very disappointed he has hit a dead end. He feels that the Duke paying with his life for that one bad action was equitable and that he should be buried with his ancestors. There was still a mystery about who used the poison meant for his father to poison him. All we have seen was a woman’s hand putting the poison on the cherries given to the prince while he played with his father in the hallway and the emperor giving his son the cherry. Did he know it was poisoned? It looks that way but why would he have the pouch Qian gave him as a keepsake if he wanted him dead? There is a poignant moment where the crown prince and princess discuss what is next. He has spent ten years investigating and has not known joy since he was nine until that day. His appreciation of her assisting with the investigation and being there as support he considered a memory for a lifetime. He puts a blossom in her hair and she respects his request to leave it there. Prince Lie has a conversation with the princess thanking them for allowing the duke to be buried in the ancestral plot. He is leaving to take his uncle’s place and guard Anlan while ChangPing will stay in the capital. They have a candid moment wishing each other well while the brother looks on in resentment. He does have a right to be angry. She is his ex and he looks insane calling her on it. The Princess’ father arrives and he is very determined to get the Crown Prince out of the picture. The more he complains to her, the more she reminds him that no man would measure up to him in comparison. The Prince adeptly responds to all his snarky remarks in equal measure holding his own. I wonder what the dad really thought when he grabbed the Prince’s shoulder. 🤣 The ploy to get his daughter away to visit gpa backfired when the Prince came out to meet them. 🤣😂 He is well liked by gpa so there are no seeds of discord that can be sown there.😂 He challenges the prince to a martial arts challenge that he quickly accepts. I am very curious how that will play out. One thing is certain. The prince will prove to the dad he can keep his daughter safe. How they negotiate with the prince’s family about his real strengths and weaknesses remains to be seen. The dad has tagged him the northwest wolf and I think the crown prince is pleased with the moniker. 😁Minister Cui has opted to be direct in letting ShuLin know his feelings. She has been sent by her friend to get out of a position in his office and Cui suggests she take his place. He vows secrecy and no concern about being a couple. ShuLin on the other hand, has made it quite clear that she has been and always will be the male heir of the Marquis. I feel sad for both of them. Preview shows the crown prince demonstrating his undeniable protective skills surprising the dad.
