The eyebrows are enough for two people and stand out against the whiter than white foundation makeup.

.., the elves and the pigeon express were instrumental in the strategic planning and execution.

The best news from the trailer is that Madam Dowager "passed".

tThe production team had many chiefs...producers, directors, scriptwriters.

The four scriptwriters did not co-write, they did segmented writing....piecemeal writing.

Ep 25 was very well done. The BGM fits the mood, and was movie quality. Old Dowager Empress had some nerve to trample the graves of the dead 80,000 soldiers. It shows her arrogance and belligerance. In her mind, she did no wrong, murdering 80,000 loyal soldiers. I can't wait for her meltdown. Glad that the Han siblings defended Anle's plea for justice, as well as the Left Chancellor and right Chancellor and the other ministers. Mingxi looked beautiful in the final scene, smiling for the first time in many episodes.

The writing improved. Acting, music, editing, writing, directing, set design, costuming were on point.

Cheng En met LMX once when she was eight years' old. I don't think they met again over the ten years. Since her arrival in Jing, how many times did she meet LMX? Once? Suddenly, she is calling him by his first name? That's being forward. He should have said, "Official Luo, to you!" LOL

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.
