The Road to Splendor Episode 6

Very risky bargain

I understand why Tingyun would want to reach the Imperial Envoy at all costs, but, boy, this was risky... Not only for her to be wrapped back up in Madam Yu's schemes, but also very, very risky for Ling. 😬😟Thankfully, it ended well-ish, and I really appreciate that Ling heard Tingyun's speech in front of the Imperial Envoy's door. I saw that shift in Ling's face when he heard she cares for the people starving on the road and their well-being, and that she also defended him as a person and didn't look down on him, making him realise she might not be like other nobles after all. 🥹That's what changed his heart and made him consider maybe even helping her, but hearing that the Imperial Envoy is actually the Crown Prince himself, he thought the trouble was too much. 😳But, I am certain she will be able to persuade him to work for the Crown Prince... And I can finally see the road the plot is preparing for them to reach that splendor the title might be about! 😉
