Cao needs to die

I was not sure why Zang Hai would be moving the pieces without a fake already to replace. The queen did provide sketches of what it looked like before the festival. A Lu exists that is not completely crazy. He shows that Cao could have run things correctly, but chose to not. He confirmed that Zang Hai’s appearance had been significantly altered from familial features. I understand the rush to the Queen but dammit Cao should have left dead.😝 I am thinking there is a slight chance that he had already made a fake seal and swapped before caught by Lu Fen. This would have been a good way to get Cao to reveal third party but still not power of seal. Zang Hai did shield AnTu which I think the right thing to do since he had no real fighting skills. The Queen had a significantly better chance of killing Cao and getting the seal. Saving ZangHai shows her great love of daughter and her love for Kuai Duo. I want to know what Cao told her about Kuai Duo. There was something she didn’t know and I think key to fish distribution. He has more lives than cat. 😝This old viper needs to have head chopped off and his surveillance group sent to border. The Queen’s death is sloppily covered with no mention of Cao or Zang Hai getting called out. The battle scenes were well done and ZangHai’s timely interference believable and somewhat humerous. I did like AnTu’s whip trick of taking out psycho Lu with his own sword. The crack from Lu Fen about bureau being run as Zang Hai wanted was quite the irony.😝 Cao is like mafia boss that had one son run a legitimate business. I am really annoyed he is still alive, but I am hoping he reveals third fish holder and has a fake seal. Then after that sets in I want AnTu to finish him by her choice of weapons. The Lu’s need dispatched to border or dead. They are too loyal to Cao. Curious how Zang Hai is going to resolve things. I rewatched first episode to see events better and to remember why Marquis deserved to die. For the third fish, is it possible this was a deliberate misdirect from the Marquis as a last middle finger to Queen and Cao? When this was decided, he had no reason to think either of his sons would amount to much. Neither of them was promising so did he really have to tell them the truth of things? And even tho ZhiXing has shown great promise, if he misdirects Queen and Cao to fight over fish for seal, how was that not to his benefit? There is shadiness with the astronomer but for a better good. His wife knew of some of it because she supported him in death rather than cursing him the loss of their child. There is some bigger picture not given yet. The Marquis was a key. But I don’t think either son was included. Considering the deeds of his wife and his willingness to toss and kill children, this should not be surprising. It is unfortunate we do not know who held his backup plan against Cao. I think there is key information there that might stay buried. There is still much to unravel and to see where the author takes us next.
