Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng. In which case, Prince Tan/Li Jiancheng should be the crown prince. Li Shimin should be Princess Leyan's (Lusi) father and Li Jiancheng should be Changge's (Dilraba) father in TLB.

Warning - just my guess but it is potentially a major plot spoiler. Open at your own risk.
Based on what I have seen so far, I am going to guess that Prince Ying and Prince Tan are:

Definitely watching the Cantonese version!!!

I would totally be all for banning it!!! Let's just hope it is over soon...

Yes I would guess about 6 months. I know it took Marco Polo 1 year each way on the Silk Rd all the way to Rome.

I know she is meant to prove she can stand on her own two feet but I don't think YZJ sticking around and them rebuilding and facing their enemies together as a unit makes her less strong. Not to mention the noble idiot trope is just about my least favorite in the world.

Maybe she got him where it really hurts but the censors decided it should just be the thigh....

Don’t forget the one that married her and then left her at home to run into a bomb bc he was already poisoned anyway so why the hell not?? Dear drama gods please save us from heroes with more bravado than brains!

That would have made a lot more sense except heroine Duanwu wouldn’t be able to pop up just in the nick of time with her trusty little pearl hunter knife to rescue her!!!

This must be the year of noble idiocy and poison bc we seem to bump into them in every drama!🤦🏻‍♀️

They forgot to give him a built in GPS…

Sure the Cuis and Xu could have been working for him and not Prince Tan all along. Or Prince Ying could have appointed him to entrap him into indicting himself. We need to watch and see .

Two women who have never been to the desert with zero navigational skills found each other in the vast Gobi no less! Suspend disbelief!

Yes and coming right up next is how they are able to suffer successfully!!!

The mastermind should be known from the get go. The Cui family works for Prince Tan so the buck stops with him. Its just a question of figuring out who else helped him along the way. Even that is more or less revealed - the Yue family, the Black Dragon Bandits, probably Yu Chi and I am gonna guess the Zheng family are also baddies.

I thought he was stupid the moment he knowingly drank that cup of poison wine.

He is utilitarian and willing to use anyone who can be useful to him. Its Politics 101.

Geez - that damned noble idiot trope. They really never get tired of it!!!

When it comes to battle for the throne, there is no good or bad guy. They are probably both bad guys that are just on different sides.

Always happy to be helpful. Thanks for reading and your supportive comments.
