Qi Lu's father told him he was going away for a month but he is gonna come back. Qi Lu lied to him about where he enrolled, even the place he is staying at isn't the dorm - he rented a place. given how crazy possessive his father let alone violent isn't he worried ?!? & i get his stomach issue is a consequence of his fathers constant abuse - but shouldn't he get that checked out?!?****************************************************************************************************************************************as much as everyone is interesting the one i care for is Tan Yin, this kid has been all alone regardless of his deafness or cause of it. he was abandoned in a hospital by his parents (am guessing) & even if Qin Xiao & his grandfather took him in, he isn't family. & now that Liu Ming Yang is bombarding him with care & kindness - little wonder Tan Yin has developed feelings for him & will get hurt cause Liu only see him as a substitute for his younger sibling that he lost (again guessing).

Brothers’ squabbles

That was a sweet scene with Princess Ning and Prince Yan Li. It was made poignant by his shock and appreciation for someone caring about him. The Crown Prince was exactly what his father accused him of. A boy living in leisure. However, when he was not given military or martial arts discipline, it’s unreasonable of the father to assume book reading and coddling would help him measure up to the security knowledge he needs to know to rule wisely and efficiently. This is as much on his lack of effort as his son. I guess the aspirations of the mothers are supposed to ready the sons for leadership with minimal teachings from the father. He wants to be their coach not their dad.😝 I am also annoyed with Prince Rui. He seems the most capable of rule and the one most shunning it. When the good people leave, the scum floats to the top. This is evidenced by the “treasures” who are candidates for crown prince. Prince Chi is the only one capable but that is because he lived with ‘ whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger ‘ upbringing. His father will win no father of the year prizes either. The consort prince wants a one on one challenge with Prince Chi to prove how great he is. It would be best for him to be big fish in small pond than finding out the truth. Wan has become noticed by both of them but that is not a good thing. The empress gave an extreme crash course in tough love to her son. Too little too late and her life really could be on the line for her coddling. She threatens to kill herself and then hugs him. Can you say mixed signals? No wonder the guy is a wimp.He is a direct product of his environment. He is really an artistic type that should be teaching classes to scholars and hidden away in recital halls. He might actually excel there. The consort son should be prison warden. It’s more his vibe.😝 The prisoner has a lot of information and refers directly to files they need to get access to. They now know of a secret society that eliminates discord and perceived bad behavior that causes discontent and amorality in society. This is a blood cult that literally takes flesh to get out of it. The prisoner was set up and wound made him look guilty and the killer may be the one that had to get his flesh removed for referring him. I’m guessing the artist is involved somehow. Wan’s dad was in the middle of a whole lot of weird. She is right to feel something is up with the Supreme Court minister. He really shows no remorse or discomfiture. But in spite of that evidence, it does not indicate the guilt of her father, just that he feels righteous in his cause. Wonder if he is the scalper and minister Shen too close to figuring it out? He is cold enough for it and haughty enough to feel justified. Like the police in Minority Report movie. This gives same vibes. I like how they get to interrupt maid and aide’s kiss.😝🤣 Glad they are finding a house for her. Consort Prince already has plans to discredit her so no need to give him ammo. He would relish catching both of them because two birds one stone would make his day. He needs watching.

was wondering why Qi Lu was so fixated on Qin Xiao & his art, but i missed his mothers paintings in his house. here i realized that one of Qin Xiao's painting was the same store front that was depicted in his mothers art. & as we don't really know what happened to his mother (other then her being dead) i guess he wants answers about her past? either way the way he has latched onto Qin Xiao is still a bit weird to me - also Qin Xiao is too violent to my liking, given his own father shouldn't his temper be a turn-of?!?? here Qi Lu is hell-bent on sticking close to him. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also Qi Lu was so focused on Qin Xiao (when the grandfather went missing) he totally ignored Tan Yin (heck everyone ignores him), as is it seems like cause of his handicap everyone treats him like he is air & that is breaking my heart. he had to wait until the evening when Liu Ming Yang came, to get comforted. that's freakin heart breaking. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************& sorry but i find it so weird that the reason Liu Ming Yang is helping Tan Yin is cause he reminds him of his younger brother. especially when they gonna be a couple - how he gonna flip the switch between sibling love to romantic love?!? idk - weird****************************************************************************************************************************************also weird that Tan Yin was the one to introduce Tan Yin to Qin Xiao, i assumed they were family. cause if he was introduced a few yrs back Qin Xiao learnt sign-language that quick - for a stranger? who is just a tenant??& as Liu Ming Yang sees him as a sibling why not take him in ???idk....

Skinned alive

They are trying to make it look like the victim is Prince Yan Li. Hoping that is not the case. Why does he feel he doesn’t have a home? It’s a horrible way to go for anybody. That minister of Supreme Court a very cold fish. I really wanted to see him lose it. He’s an arrogant ass tho. He likes being the voice piece for emperor and controlling things. He was snide to Wan under the auspices of appreciating her preferences when he personally never asked for them. Whether it was because she is a woman or coroner is unknown. I am certain that Mr Shen never treated him with that disrespect even tho he was a subordinate. I hope the minister continues to be haunted by Shen images. He doesn’t appear shaken, but maybe it will keep him in line. Prince Chi’s return fire about shame couldn’t learn from him was a nice dig. The minister is not as openly off putting as the consort’s son, but he is like a rank oily bad aftertaste you want rid of ASAP. I don’t find him likable on any level. He quietly preens about how great he is and feels superior, using his position to show how upright he is while trying to maintain a fake air of modesty. He is like a male version of Yu. This would be her if princess consort. I am almost hoping she sheds her ideal of being married to crown prince to find a real decisive man. Xiang is again sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong and her sis getting punished along with her. She better be careful or will end up like Lianye that had a similar taste for nosiness. Both dowagers together was a fun visit for Wan. These two are Wan and Princess Ning when they are Gma’s. 😂I hope the crown prince heard and understood the lesson behind caged bird. Wan would never be happy in a palace environment and not a good wife for him. He has no real sense of marriage no matter what pretense he put on with Qin family. He wants to stay under his mom’s shadow and has no interest in deciding things for himself. He isn’t unlikable, but he isn’t anything to brag about either. The Jin child is slowly making progress. If they eould get the poor boy out of the palace he would be much improved already. The prisoner is the sand demon. 🤣 Seems he likes to be loud and obnoxious whatever drama he is in.😂He does know something and he listens to all the gossip flowing through the prison halls, so decent meals seem a cheap exchange. The biggest takeaway for me is he knew Mr Shen and might be one of the few with pertinent info. Hopefully Supreme Court minister won’t find a way to permanently shut him up. I also want to know who kidnapped Prince Yan Li. Is it someone helping or hurting him? And Princess Ning needs a real sketch of the Prince cause that poster was awful.😝
