Theories/Clues?

 vesca:

At least that's what raven told YWS - but I kinda believe he lied about Yun Que death, I am nearly sure she betrayed Wufeng as she fall for prince Yue and Wufeng got her killed somehow.... but to ensure that same thing won't happen again Wufeng told to YWS it was Gong family who killed her adoptive sister.

I am thinking the same. And the way he always wears the bracelet somewhat confirms this theory. I think when he meets A'Yun he will recognise her as Yun Que's sister by the ring.

Disclaimer for newcomers:

Not everything that is posted by me in this thread is a theory I came up with. If you see quotation marks, it means it came from someone else in the comment section which I most likely credited. Also, I post theories/clues I see from Twitter here as well. Lastly, these are just speculations, and as each new episode airs, things are revised. 

Thread for clues or theories anyone has. Here's an image I found on the official weibo account. 

i wonder if anyone have english ver of this character chart 😭 pardon i can't read mandarin

Wow that’s a lot of revelations! So Junior poison is the bastard? I am going to go watch; this is just too good to leave for later. Will be back with my thoughts after! A serious win for the good guy finally! 

No, poison kid is not a bastard; at least, the medical record can't prove that he is. The record only indicates a full-term pregnancy. If it was Lady Lan's record, then her child must be a bastard who was conceived before she married into the Gong sect, due to the timing of her marriage. But it ended up being Lady Ling's record. By that time, Lady Ling had been there a long time and her older son Shangjue was already several years old, so if her younger son was a full-term pregnancy that would be completely normal. The only way he could be a bastard is if she cheated on her husband with someone else in the Gong sect, or her real son died and she adopted him as a replacement.

But he’s not SJ’s brother either. So who does he belong to? It seems that the full term baby did indeed pass probably along with his mother because based on the conversation between SJ and poison Junior at the end of the episode suggested the brother’s name was “Lang” and even he knew that SJ had a “Lang didi” and same with tomorrow’s trailer in the conversation btwn Junior poison and SGQ; she asks about a handkerchief SJ was holding and whether it belonged to his “Lang didi”? Furthermore, if Junior poison is calling him Lang didi, it means he’s older, if he was younger, wouldn’t he call him “Lang gege”? You need a GPS for this family tree. 

Woohoo, identity confirmed and it’s a score for the good guys finally! So now it makes me wonder who does Junior poison belong to? SJ isn’t his actual brother, so are they cousins too? Lord these folks need a PowerPoint presentation worthy family tree 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫. But it was nice to wipe three smirks off faces and Junior poison cried boo-hoo! SGQ, take that, you smartass fake Mei!

Anyone else notice YWS’ conflicted eyes when ZY said to her on the stairs, “there won’t be a third time. I’ll never let you go?” You can see her inner struggle; the mission, her wish to be free, and her feelings for him. Hope they get to a point where 2 and 3 mean the same thing. 

WuJi def not simple but her love for ZY is genuine.

That is GSJ's mother at 1:07

Wait so was GSJ’s mom poisoned too or murdered? Not a natural cause death? That trailer was something else. She gets found out and one of the elders tries to kill her but is stopped by GZY? Went too fast to know who was killed and by whom, but clearly JF, SJ, Wuji, and Junior poison get off’d plus many of the mothers apparently.

Not clear yet, soo waiting for further clues in today and tomorrow afternoon episodes.

That's a good question...may be this isn't the trail? But there is another clip that I'm pretty sure is related to these two pictures where YWS and GZY are blindfolded and walking together. They are wearing the same outfits pictured in the pictures I posted. 

Also, that would be interesting especially because I want them to hurry up and tell us why he has her sister's bracelet. 

I think ZY is allowed to take her on his next trial? That could be it. I’m fully convinced Prince Yue fell in love with YQ, I don’t think he killed her though. That’s another question that needs answering.
