The First Jasmine Episode 19

Secrets to hide and seek

Wow, I didn't know I needed an A'Li and Mingxi team-up! 😂😏 He perfectly fits her vibe and would be the perfect sidekick in crime. I enjoyed watching them a lot! Also, I am now 200% sure Prince Li is alive somewhere, hiding. 👆The jealousy between Marquis Muyang's sons... Qin Cang is jealous of Tianyang being allowed to freely approach, laugh, and chat about any topic with their father, while Tianyang is jealous of their father approaching Qin Cang and wanting to spend time with him... with the main subject this time being a coconut! It's so twisted with them. 🙄Looks like the Empress Dowager is getting desperate to hold onto her power and hide those secrets she's been keeping for all those years. Marquis Muyang enjoys being her bloodhound way too much. 🙄😫 Oh, and what an aura Xiuyao released when dealing with the traitor of Jingzhou Prefecture! 👏 Did the guy reconsider who he's more afraid of—Prince Ding or Marquis Muyang? Yes, I think he did. 😏🔥

Finding remnants of east palace

Ther jury is still out as to whether or not JingLi’s dead. Charred bodies do not necessarily reveal the truth. Empress Dowager has given the Marquis lead on taking care of interrogation and any correspondence or document related to east palace. With her sifting through all paperwork, she is most likely still trying to find decree. Ye Li asks the steward for interesting books and diagrams. While Xiu Yao is locked in at work, she is studying all the underground waterways linked from palace to port. Once again she crosses path with her ‘assassin’ acquaintance. The Marquis took Xiu Yao’s military commander for interrogation because he had a 4th uncle that originally went there. 😝 They both know he is innocent but he dares the Prince to counter Empress Dowager’s command. The Prince asks another official to stay behind. He knows this is the one that gave the commander to the Marquis. The look on his face when Xiu Yao kicked him center mass and sent him flying across the floor. He now realizes he feared the wrong leader and is warned that if Xiu Yao’s man dies, he does as well. I am not sorry this worm was sent off to prison. 😝There is a scene where Marquis’ son is sharing a coconut when Qin walks by and sees them. Later the Marquis invites Qin to move in and shares the other coconut with him. Miscreant son sees them enjoying it and he is jealous. These two should really not be in the same living quarters. They are too close in proximity as it is. Ning is depressed and suicidal. She really wants to join JingLi in death. The Marquis flexed his muscle and Ye Li flexed her strategic wisdom to get him to stand down. Ning repeated what JingLi had said to her and wanted to know if the smart sister could figure it out and if he was alive. She asked Ning if her prince was thinking of her when he set the fire. Her candor in not hating her because she is too selfish and dimwitted to be taken seriously. I agree that even a twit like her does not deserve to be stuck with JingLi. Still following her, she tells the assassin to help her out and be useful. 🤣 He gets her into the Li house and she heads for JingLi’s room. Adding water to the fountain opened a door to underneath the palace where she followed it right to the exit she figured he took. I am glad the assassin was with her because they find them surrounded by assassins/guards well equipped and intent on killing them. The fight is still in progress when the episode ends. I am hoping we get to see her sword skills next episode.
