Emperor covered up for his mother.

The birthday gift is a scroll with all the dead 80,000 soldiers' names.

The actress was annoying in Long Ballad, playing a similar character.

He seems to know that his father is ruthless, but he doesn't know that his grandfather and grandmother were also cutthroat.

I started watching Mysterious Lotus Case yesterday, and thre is no FL yet. Just two cute guys leading the drama. LOL

I don't really see Anle, Han Ye, Luo Mingxi as powerhouses. They seem to be repeating themselves a lot. If LMX is trying to overthrow the emperor, he should be conspiring with ministers. He should have spy servants in the emperor, dowager and left chancellor's houses. Like you, I am watching the drama for DD, GJ and LYN.

They are making DCE indispensible.

You could watch 23, 24 and 25 consecutively, since 24 feeds into 25.

Where are the 30,000 navy soldiers, and what are they doing?

They showed them in episode 24, with bad lighting.

She said 80,000 about five hundred times. She never mentions their grieving families, alive or dead. But now, we know it was 79,999.

I don't understand why LMX said that to DCE. MQ was ready to leave, but she pulled her "I need you" act. I don't even know why LMX felt it necessary to reveal his identity. She could tell Left Chancellor and Emperor, and infer a conspiracy.

Is Lengbei offscreen, overhearing the Zhong Hai and Zhang's testamonies, and sending messages to his Qin spies? This would be the best intel has sent out in years.

I wonder if they hired the author Xing Ling as a writer's consultant. She would have read the scripts, and thrown out the filler dialogs or scenes. Four scriptwriters on the payroll is excessive.

Signs of a change of the director and scriptwriter!

I am surprised Gong Jun does not have more new dramas in the pipeline. I hope his jobs pick up after this drama ends.

That might explain why the editor threw in a lot of random flashback compilations, to fill up the void. If they trimmed 45 minutes, that was the equivalent of one episode. The drama could have been 40 episodes, instead of 39 episodes.

The scenery looked so fake, like screen printing. Not even 4K printing!

Since this was going to be their only private moment, he should have given her a proper kiss. The ratings would have jumped through the roof.

When Anning, Wen Shuo and Lenbei rescued Han Ye and Anle in the valley, it was the vaguest low budget rescue. They might as well have been in two separate rooms.
