The third conspirator must be Prince Linzi. He wants the throne, and whatever his ZH's father uncovered could be the key to making it happen. He’s likely resentful that he wasn’t named Crown Prince, despite being the legitimate heir born of the Empress Dowager. He already has a general, an insider eunuch feeding him palace secrets, and if the rumors are true — that the tool can resurrect a ghost army — then he doesn’t just have ambition, he has the means. All he needs now is an army that won’t question him and if that army doesn’t breathe, even better.😄
The writers really said, “Here’s a shoulder, a flash of nipple, and a bit of back — that should quench your thirst.” I felt like a man in ancient times, catching sight of an ankle for the first time.
Zang Hai probably should’ve spent more time under the Third Master’s wing — he’s still a little too soft-hearted at times. But honestly, that’s what makes him feel more believable as a character. He’s not a perfectly polished strategist or a cold-blooded power player, he’s learning, stumbling, caught between loyalty and morality. That flicker of hesitation gives his arc a more human weight. In politics, people are hardened or hollowed out by power, Zang Hai's softness is less a flaw and more a sign he's not entirely lost to the game — at least not yet.
Sis wants to steal him. I'm all for it lmao Distributing the congee in the Marguis' name is smart, the higher he gains public favour, the further the disgrace he will feel once its all over.
I want to know who the Benefactor is.
