Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty II To the West Episode 7

Sworn brothers sparated

I did not give nerdy crown prince credit for such hateful deceit. He had been planning Lu LingFeng’s death and was very angry when Su WuMing messed up his plans. Here I just tho it aunty Princess a psycho, and while that is indeed true, it seems she was right to suspect nephew to the degree she did. Now that the emperor has abdicated and the crown prince has taken the thrown, the gloves are off between him and Princess. He realizes he has the position, but she has the power. She has always made sure to have hold of the power whether or not she had throne. She wants Lu promoted and nephew wants him dead. As usual, Su WuMing well ahead of the politics and takes on the royals. He presents himself to the crown prince after forcing his way in for a meeting. He wants the active removed from his position and then demands to be head of Supreme Court. The room is outraged that he would step on Lu for a position and kicks him out of Chang’an. Yingtao already knows something is up but he directly tells her his ambitions and forces her to leave him. I am hoping she sneaks from behind and is there for him later. Lu is demoted for temple incident. He is made sheriff of some western province and he bribes Fel with promise of good wine. He tell XiJun what has happened and that XueHuan would be invited along but he is completing school. As Su treks along on his lonesome he is met secretly by the princess. She is surprised at his efforts to protect her son and reminded him the cost for this stunt was his career. He accepts that fate if Lu is spared and continues his travels. The scholar Dugu from last season has graduated and is a new magistrate. He bumps into the coroner and the learn have same name so become sworn brothers. The magistrate was invited to his home after receiving a doll that looked very much like his wife. When he arrives at the coroner’s home, the wife answers the gate and with only a mole difference , is the exact picture of his late wife. Here the magistrate tries to force a hug on her because he is convinced she is his wife, QingHong. He is seen by one of the constables and is called into the shop. The new friend he just made was sitting dead in a chair. Apparently stabbed by one of his own creations. The porcelain automaton is very like the eerie guardians at the tomb that stabbed or blew darts at the tomb robbers. Su shows up in town and the magistrate calls him to inspect the body. The locals don’t buy it and want a different coroner. An older lady shows up and does a decent job but gets very emotional at the end. Turns out she was the coroner’s mother. As the dead body is removed from the building one is commenting that the coroner promised something and should not be dead yet. The strange has returned with a location change. I just do not like our group all split up. At least the poor scholar has a friend that knows him. He is still a bit odd, but he is not the crazy person from loss of sleep he was last season.
