Yes, he is flattered by her praises.

I noticed that too! She is smitten by his determination to win the competition to prevent Princess Roujia from marrying the Third Prince.

I think it will be Shen because General Xue will probably die to atone his sins?

The eldest Prince is in love with MZH?

The evil Princess from Northern Liang is in love with Shen?

If the princess becomes evil and becomes a reigning monarch, Lord Ding will take up arms to depose her and seize the throne if the eldest Prince dies and the other two princes are useless.

Episode 15

Lord Ding's first kiss as well as MZH's. But, he is unable to remember it!

Checked. She is indeed the Dowager Empress in the ALoN. The actress has the experience of playing the same character so she could bag the role easily.

I find actors are putting their lives at risk by doing kisses. That's why I am not bothered with no kissing scenes at all in C-costume dramas because the period never allowed such a display of intimacy.

Playing evil again.

No, I don't think so. The trailer shows he sits on the throne in the court so something might have happened to him which leads to his sister being crowned as a reigning monarch.

But, what about Lord Ding's possibility as an Emperor?

Was she also a Dowager Empress?

Without the lighting anf filter, the ML looks younger in fact for his age.

Can't wait for Episode15. Lord Ding steals MZH's first kiss after the banquet. He is a bit 'drunk'.

The wounds on Deputy Yun tell MZH that the owner of the claw tried to catch Yun alive, not killing him. It was the needles that killed Yun.

Who bit her?

I think it could be Miss Sun, the cousiin sister of the two younger princes.

Episode 14

The Dowager Empress gave Lord Ding a new outfit. She and the emperor exchanged glances. Does it give us a hint that the outfit is poisoned?

I have turned into a paranoid audience now.

Me too. Jing Tian is an excellent actor! She is the one who attracts the viewers to this drama with her hilarious tricks and witty talks.

Like Zhang Wan Yi in Lost You Forever with his emotional scenes.

He will recover as MZH is a brilliant physician according to the Imperial Physician who treated Lord Ding in Episode 2.

Jing Tian pulled off this MZH character so brilliantly. No cutie acts but with her charms and smile. Every time she talks sweetly to Lord Ding, he is flattered by her praises.

Yes, Deputy Yun was wounded by the eagle/ hawk claw. Apparently, the attempt was to catch him, not to kill him. DY recovered but was eventually wounded by the needles and fell off the cliff and died, according to MZH's logic.

The drama is getting exciting.
