The First Jasmine Episode 25

Spies and deceivers

Qin Cang survived! I knew he would. Time to bring down Marquis Muyang? 😌 And Zuidie is a spy for Prince Li, and even Han Mingyue is in that party? I really want to know what the argument was between Mingxi and his brother that made him leave home. 🤔I hope I got it right, but it looks like Master Xiankun had some special relationship with the Empress Dowager (considering he knew her childhood name) and he probably used the Consort Dowager under the Empress's command. But the Empress used him and made him a scapegoat; however, he made sure he left a way to pay her back by ensuring the Princess Consort has the edict—something that can save her life in case the Empress Dowager decides to "sacrifice" her for her plans as well. Did I get it right?I absolutely loved Feng Zhiyao and Yun. I am so rooting for them! They are such cuties... 🤗🥰And Xiuyao telling Ye Li, "To me you are the woman who no one can match in this world." Oh, bless him for such beautiful words! A sweet talker indeed. 🤭❤️Also, I don't like how they keep bringing up that if Prince Ding learned the story of how the edict didn't get delivered, he and Ye Li might have relationship trouble. Would they really? Ye Li or her mother couldn't really do much to change any of that... except maybe the fact that it was her family who betrayed Xiuyao's brother? 🤔😔

At the beginning of the episode Xiu Yao and He Li have sweet couple time. After a nap she makes him bbq. He says sweet husband words and lets her know others may consider Ms Su beautiful, but that for him, no other woman existed that could outshine her. 🥰 I think he passed her exam.😁 Empress dowager and consort chat about XianKun. The consort tells her how much she believes in her master and her. There is something just a bit off with her look and immediately handing off the gift without really looking at it. She then has a chat with her son who is annoyed with reading worthless stories based in superstition. His mother teaches him with examples that superstition can be used to one’s advantage if spun correctly. Xiu Yao tells Ye Li he has to leave the capital for 4-5 days because Jin Chang is actually alive and he is gathering evidence. They learned an old Marquis’ confidante that was supposedly executed is actually nearby and handling weapon smuggling so Xiu Yao and others head out to capture him while they wait for Qin to become conscious. Ye Li proved to her uncle and consort that their master was a fake with the disappearing dragon trick. She pointed out celestial events from his time and repeated them. Her uncle wanted to know her purpose and it was that she’d promised general Wen and her mother she would clear the Ding name. She is not wavering from that objective. There is a prison scene where the consort is told to get the edict and hide it without the Empress dowager ever knowing she had it. That it implicated the Empress dowager, Marquis and Ding family. She was to keep it safe because one day it could save her. because there will be a day it saves her life iFeng the spy is happy because his girl will meet him in seven days. She had been married and she doubted his interest if he knew her past. Once that was cleared up Feng was singing in the rain happy to claim the woman he loved. Wait til he finds out she is the visiting princess. 😁 Ms Su enters a shop where they speak in code and she enters a secret room to meet with Han Mingyue. They are plotting to cause trouble between Cangbai and Dachu so the peace talks will fail. He is jealous of her past sweetheart Prince but she says he’s her enemy. The Empress dowager is reading and handed a book of hibiscus poems. When the words on a leaf are read she wants it shut. and when another was passing her the poems about hibiscus, she demanded it to be shut. The consort chats with the Empress dowager and the reminisce about less happy days when the Empress mistreated them. XianKun rescued her and introduced her to Empress dowager and assured the consort that if she stayed by her side, her life would be happy and blessed. She asked about Empress Dowager’s childhood name and it is Furong. (Hibiscus) She leans in the Empress dowager and what should be a touching scene doesn’t feel like it. The Empress dowager told her to leave the past in the past and that the way things are now is the present and future. In the preview they have set up the princess and Ye Li. It is so obvious the dagger is placed in Ye Li’s hand.😝😡
