The gold hairpin

Omg this episode 🫣 Right when I was ready to tear Li Mao’s hair out and wish every curse on his character, the plot unfolds to see the eunuch is a spy and all an act for his benefit. All of this was a very elaborate hoax to get WuYi in Eagle King’s camp to weigh the situation from inside. I don’t know if the Xiaos are really dead but there were a lot of guards lives on the line. There is still the mystery doc with the hood. Wuyi is given two months at best even with these meds. I really don’t know what to think of Li Mao. He acts his part too well. 😝 Hopefully the Xiaos are hid well somewhere and he already has the others WuYi cares about in the palace. JiaYu is far from happy to hear they plotted without including her. I don’t know what all the pages were scattered around whether written by her or WuYi. The hairpin made from his mother’s melted Phoenix Heart token is most likely his last gift to her. It is hard to know how the concubine that has served as the fake JiaYu will accept the real one. My heart is still pounding at their shenanigans.😝 The loyal few is a very finite number and they are guarding and waiting. It is still very murky for me to decide if Li Mao is good or evil. He plays grey characters well. They are playing it too close for comfort with the Eagle King. I am not sure how WuYi felt seeing his family armor as a war trophy. But that smirk on his face at the end of the episode says things are far from over. Wuyi and Mao are working on balancing military power and waiting to see how all this comes about. Not happy for JiaYu if she really has to marry Mao. I think she’d rather spit in both men’s eyes than deal with either of them right now. I guess Mulian Ying’s prediction of three marriages just might be correct.
