Blood River Episode 34

Power shifts

The battle is halted and both sides part ways for now. LianYue is chastised by Prince of Longya for not identifying all the young men effected by puppet poison. The Prince does seem to be getting his affairs in order and giving final plans and wishes to those around him. Uncle Zhe has arrived and he has taken the option for power transfer between him and MuYu. He recognizes that neither MuYu or his daughter will alter their plans so he empowers MuYu as much as possible and suggests a quiet life in Na’an clinic when this is all sorted. Changhe has successfully reached 9th level hell palm but learns after the fact there is serious backlash if used. First Prince continues to be an annoying prat but that seems what his role is to be. He isn’t happy that Changhe has a very detailed account of Blood River members and is well aware of what’s been happening. The eunuch gives him a 50/50 chance of being able to kill the first Prince. He is such a cowardly weasel that I don’t think he will be missed, but the powers that be seem to accept he will be on the throne. 😝 I really want another option. He doesn’t need puppet poison, he is already eunuch’s puppet.😝They are preparing for confrontation to finish it and with golden puppet the sides are too close with first prince having the edge. I still find Lianyue’s character lesser since he has returned. I don’t know if that is by design to follow story, but I find myself as disappointed in him as Rabbit is and I am unconvinced by the Prince’s words as she is. I was so hopeful for these two initially, but if this is the extent of his character now, she is better off without him.
