A Splendid Match Episode 40

???

JinZhou has a dream and sends her guard to look after the Chen’s. She had already destroyed her indentured paperwork and had purchased properties for her. She looks at the items that YanYun most treasured. They all revolved around her. The mask when he rescued her from the pond. The glasses and another gift in a box. What struck her most was his painting of her where he was amazed that she loved him amd married him. He had all his happy memories of her and that he needed to hide it before she found it and made fun of him.🥰QingLan is guarding over Ye Xian’s coffin and holding the cat. I think Ye Xian would approve because white kitty gets along with her much better than JinZhao.😂 He had written a letter to his sis to say goodbye and not be sad. He told her the doc’s verdict and that he wanted to see the land their father always talked about. He got to wear armor and lead troops into battle — would their father be proud of him? I am glad he got to say his goodbye and fess up about how short a time he had. This will help ease her grief over time and understand his end choices better. The last letter was to his mother who gained entrance to see the emperor. Even with his mother present Fu tried to political speak and waste time to disseminate troops. The emperor finally had enough and kicked him out under house arrest. This gave him some satisfaction but the bottom line was whether Fu was in power or not, he still had cronies in all the offices handling logistics of soldiers and supplies. He could stretch it out for as long as he liked. Ms Fu was upset that her sect had been tricked and ruined Fu’s plans. He accepted the blame which was rightfully his so 😝🙄JinZhao bargains with her life to get Fu to expedite things. Since he knows Chen is alive he accepts. He spared her after telling her to drink it. He wants Chen gone not her. Chen arrives and is shown the book of Great Yan that holds the collected knowledge since its origin. Then he sets the place on fire for them to die. I am wondering if he wanted Chen to have the book and leave him there. It was not something he wanted destroyed. His plans are changed when his wife shows up with a sword at JinZhao’s throat. She claims responsibility for everything that happened and was the sect’s leader. Chen hurls his sword at her and Fu goes to hold her. JinZhao and Chen leave the burning building with the book of Yan. I guess the emperor has a lot of homework to do. The sect was purged from the nation and things are being restructured to prevent a reoccurrence. They had a repeat of our couple on horseback at the beach for a happy ending but I find myself wishing for new happy pictures rather than old ones. I loved Ye Xian’s character. I gave him a tearful goodbye last episode. This episode should have had a lot less focus on him and a lot more on the living. We should have seen Lan getting married, WanXue happy and JinZhao and YanYun expecting. We needed something lighter after all the heavy turmoil of battle. Even the emperor welcoming them back and awarding them something to make all that trauma point to a happier future than just the big book of Yan.
