The Princess's Gambit Episode 22

Meng family changes

Ms Meng admitted to having blood on her hands. Whose? Is she feeling guilt for her brother, or someone else? That scum of a scholar almost got eldest son’s place. 😝 There is no way the father didn’t know what he is, but willing to grasp at any straw rather than daughter. I fear for her in the role she has accepted, but when daughter in crime family, she either has to be the monster or marry one. She can at least control her life more this way. I think her skin would crawl if she knew more about third prince. But her dad and emperor same cloth, so maybe not. She rightfully knew this prince most supportive of their cause and I think she knows 4th prince too sweet natured to get tied to their group. Is the emperor unknowingly a peach blossom poisoned one? The third prince’s miracle pill makes me wonder. This would very conveniently get him out of the way at a time of their choosing. Ms Meng played her hand well but the emperor himself interrupted their after game bargain. He wants to see the lady that looks like Princess. She has circled the city and ended up at crematorium, are they hiding her or killing her? I don’t think it’s the princess the chancellor will uncover but her bodyguard. And now the farm boy scholar will be in danger because of threat to psycho Meng offshoot cousin. He is more than happy to not marry the one pledged to eldest son, but there is no way in hell he will admit to plagiarism. He would have been their version of crown prince and just as certainly brought down their family even more. Ms Meng had that scenario pegged correctly. Will Ms Meng volunteer to be the Ms Meng that’s been kept in third prince’s house? Would that push emperor into a renewed agreement between the families?
