Calm before storm

Zhifu is in deep with eunuch Cao. He is doing his best to stay afloat but this greedy sloth doesn’t have the backbone or smarts for it. He gets Zang Hai drunk on two occasions —or at least he appears drunk. Not sure how much liquor he can hold.😝 Zang Hai gives a fake location in the Marquis treasury for the Gui seal. Everybody is chomping at the bit to get to it. So after giving fake location Zhifu is forced to murder Zang Hai. This is where I gotta wonder about our guy. That idiot could have stabbed him in the heart and really killed him.😝 He got stabbed lower abdomen…I think they figured out that would give fans the best view of Xiao Zhan’s chest.😁 They did not trust idiot Zhifu to do the job…just to be able to hold him accountable. The Lu sis was there to try to finish him off but fortunately loyal bodyguard kept her in check. Now that Cao knows not dead he imprisons Zhifu and won’t release. He knows this is picking a fight with the Marquis and welcomes it. The Marquis responds by having secret meetings with court supporters. It is believed he is trying to get Cao impeached. Zang Hai is home mending. He was hurt enough to be out for days so he is really an idiot in how close he will let death come to him. He went to the Marquis house after stabbing and the Marquis household got him a physician. Probably the only reason the reckless idiot is alive.He is taking too many chances and even tho young there is only so much a body can take. He is pushing the limits but I can’t deny it paid off. He at least gets to live to tell the tale. The Marquis is going to have a bday party / bloodbath. Everybody is gonna be there whether invited or not. Cao makes a visit to the Hostage house where he meets with our princess saying he knows where the Gui seal is. So she will also be in attendance. I do not know if a surprise to Zang Hai or no, but she plans a meeting with him for same night to keep him out of the fray. He agrees, but plans on sending his friend with apologies of being too drunk to show. He has also made arrangements with second son to storm the Marquis house with his troops to save the day. For all the secrets and company she keeps AnTu was actually trying to keep Zang Hai safe. She will find out that was a lost cause and a lot of secrets will be displayed at the banquet. The real question is who will be left alive to tell the tale?
