Key to the Phoenix Heart Episode 6

Little acts of service, hidden feelings, and the mystery of the Wenxi Imperial family

Oooh, we got some backstory on the Wenxi Imperial family! I think I might be even more sure now that Wuyi is the prince. 😏 Perhaps because the Empress Wenxi had to save her son, she entrusted him as an infant to the Xiao family... Could that be what happened? 🤔But then, how did Jiayu's mother get the Token? Because I am pretty sure that's what she was holding in her arms when Empress Wenxi's senior maid stopped her carriage on the road... OR — could the prince actually be a princess, and that's Jiayu? 😲 That could also be possible if the Grand Tutor is not her biological father... Right? 🤨Even if she doesn't notice it herself, Jiayu has started to care for Wuyi. 🥰 It's so sweet how she baked cakes for everyone, him included (I wonder if they were sourer than the rest), covered him with a blanket while he was sleeping, and—best of all—worried about him worrying about his reputation. She hid those wishes so no one would see that his other "wives" love other men, and that Ziqi isn't even his child... awww, Jiayu. 🥺❤️He, however, made me a little sad. He really likes her, and the only person he confessed that to, in a way, was some beggar he gave his cakes to... Oh, Wuyi! 😭🫂And what's that mysterious illness he has? And how did he get it? Did he get it from the night he was almost killed at the very beginning of ep1, or is that something that he's been dealing with for a way longer time? 😟

Don’t call me darling and double 9th festival

The episode opens with Jia yu’s mom wanting a divorce. That he calls her darling has to grate on her ears after what he has done and how he used their daughter. It was also revealed she was not his biological child so maybe that is why he could toss her out as a pawn. I loved her presenting him all accounts settled into nice neat his and her stacks. He picked his son and killing 30k people. She picked their daughter and wanted nothing more to do with him. When he wanted to know where she would find a place to stay she reminded him that the world is vast and it was no longer any of his business. 👏🏻She had the phoenix heart token and its presence was supposed to indicate peace. JiaYu now knows her parents are divorced and she is sad. I hope this opens up a path to her mother. And who is the one she met in the road as she was leaving the city? She is not aware of the extent of WuYi’s injuries or that at best he will have 3-5 years unless some miracle cure shows up. As everybody prepares for the double ninth ceremony, WuYi disguises JiaYu as JingLing for the evening and even gets them a date. He has shot himself in the foot and heart letting his consort have a rendezvous with her favorite guy. It is starting to bug him that she makes gifts for everyone under the sun but him or tosses him one as an afterthought. She is trying to get true crossbows made to help the army and he has agreed to let her try. the empress dowager is as low as they come making the sister choose between her brother or best friend. Some of the subplots have been handled but there are more in the works he is sure of it. The Empress dowager is hoping for a clean sweep of all the people she most wants rid of. Snoopy JiaYu found out all the family secrets on the prayer tree. Her friend was spared being the traitor, but JiaYu sees the fake Xiao Sheng and she falls into their trap anyways. WuYi sees her run past and who is following her when the episode ends. This episode has WuYi melancholy that he has feelings for his new bride that aren’t reciprocated. He also sees no honorable way to steal her from his friend who loved her first. He has resigned himself to work with the hand he is dealt and make the best use of it possible. He is hoping he will have just enough time to sort it all. JiaYu’s mom is going to try to find the crown prince because the last thing she wants is a Xie on the throne. Long wait til next episode.😭
