anyway, can the "splendor" for lingyun is just them away from all the palace drama please (?) like live…
According to Chinese fans on XHS who have already watched the last episodes it will be a HE. The Yu family will fall. I saw a video with Yu father & son were physically fighting. YJX refused to take the fall for his dad so the dad died if I am not mistaken. ZL resigned from his position so ZL & FTY will move back to Ganlin & they live near Madam Mo & Wang. They have a daughter & live happily so I guess this is their splendour. Before this, ZL faked his death in prison by drinking the poison in front of FTY so he could continue his investigation on the Yu’s corruption ( you see the funeral of ZL in episode 34). Madam Yu became coucou & is still after the power. FJX is alive but fell from grace. FYK divorce from YJX & is teaching girls in a school. Concubine Yu lives rich & freely. Madam Wei ( Tian) also lives a happy life with her dad minister Tian & hubby. Commander Wang had his position in the northwest army back. A Sen married the Wang’s daughter.
Whyyyy! Having him kill General Mo? Do the writers think Zhao Ling is made to endure unlimited trauma? What the…
Agree with you. I have doubts about the emperor & thought that either Mo Yi or ZL, they’re just pawns or pieces that he wants to move. Making the whole speech about his grandma doesn’t cut it for me. I am just speculating here but by the young emperor does neither have the control over the northwest army nor the merchants. He is betting on the fact that ZL is a loyal subject so he ordered ZL to kill Mo Yi to not only appease the Anzou merchants so that they would not disrupt the salt reforms so that the emperor could raise his funds. Mo Yi’s death will also put the northwest on notice that ZL is now his loyal subject & no longer defend their interests so at least they will start to be more obedient. If the northwest army rebels as a result of Mo Yi’s death then with the monies coming from the salt reforms, the emperor may be able to raise his own army that is loyal to him. I do think it is a dangerous bet but I don’t like the emperor at all.
Stressful I would say. Mo Yi is in prison for bribery ( he was set up by Madame Wu). Concubine Wu remembered that…
FTY is now trying to find ways to help Mo Yi & prove his innocence, hence the Wu’s account book is key to that. Both ZL & FTY are working separately to help resolve the Mo’s situation. I put out a comment of today’s episode from a Chinese below.
Can someone tell me if episode 30 had a satisfying ending?
Stressful I would say. Mo Yi is in prison for bribery ( he was set up by Madame Wu). Concubine Wu remembered that her aunt gave her an account book ( recording all the bribes & favours with court officials) so she met with FTY at the temple seeking her help but I think concubine Wu has helped FTY in the past & will be a great help in the future to take the Yu down.
I love this analysis of Madam Wu’s death in today’s episode by a Chinese fan: « madam Wu thinks that she is one step ahead of Madam Yu by proposing a plan to help the Yu family getting rid of the powerful northwest General Mo Yi whose wife was greedy for more wealth & power. Madam Wu is an ambitious lady & is wishing to use the Yu’s connection to be part of the nobles social circle. She has noticed that the Yu family viewed Mo Yi as a powerful general in the northwest & an obstacle in their push towards the salt reforms so Wu took the initiative to trick Mo Yi & wife through grains donations. By signing the donation agreement with Wu, Mo Yi is now involved in bribery. Madam Wu made no secret of her desires, demanded 50% share of the Anzou salt permits & happily accepted that she is a useful tool for the Yu family & rising up the elites circle. Little did she know that she was just a disposable person for the Yu’s family & was killed by Madam Yu’s maid. Killing Wu was just the first step, the true cruelty lay in the subsequent psychological manipulation. Lady Yu didn’t kill Wu out of personal revenge but as part of the grand political scheme. She would frame Mo Yi for Madam Wu’s murder by framing Mo Yi that he was trying to extort money out of madam Wu but failed so killed her as a result. In the aftermath of her death, Madam Yu cold’s remark summed up how brutal Madam Yu is ‘if she held herself with dignity, I would hold her in higher regard. Perhaps I may let her stay longer. But she said she was a useful tool so how could I not make full use of her’. Madam Wu thought that she was the master in the scheming game with madam Yu but she didn’t realise that she is just a pawn & was only used to take Mo Yi down. Luckily, concubine Wu would use the account book ( recording all the bribes & favors from court officials) that her aunt previously gave her & this would be the key to take the Yu’s empire down. This episode teaches us that the most terrifying thing in the realm of power is never the most obvious enemy but it is those who smile & give compliments. When one is willing to become a tool in exchange of interests, one should also understand that tools could also be discarded ». The end.
Very well said. It keeps me on my toes. Grand Secretary even complimented FTY to his son LMAOOO.
Exactly, more stressful scenes will be coming in future episodes where ZL’s friend Jin Baoyuan betrayed him for Grand Secretary Yu. Both ZL & FTY ( photo of FTY being handcuffed) will be sent to prison for corruption.
I completely understand his decision but I don't know if it was the best way he could've done it. Also, at the…
I was very uncomfortable about ZL killing FTY’s dad. But thinking about it, ZL did it because he was scared that the scumbag father may be used by the Yu’s family to kill FTY& do more harm to FTY. He may also want to protect her so that if one day she finds out that her mother’s death was caused by her father & she may take revenge.
I was thinking Zhao Ling was faking his death for some reason. No one else was dressed in mourning.
You may be right as read some rumors circulating on XHS that whilst both ZL & FTY were in jail for corruption with the northwest Salt traders ( ZL was betrayed by his friend Jin Yuanbao), the emperor allegedly gave them fake poisons to test ZL & ZL begged the emperor to forgive his wife & he would take the poison. That’s where ZL faked his death to carry on his investigation on the Yu’s family. I also read that the Yu was sent to prison in the end & FYK divorced YJX in the end.
Oh my, when General Secretary Yu started to sacrifice his own son & started on this show, I was thinking poor ZL he is no match to Yu in terms of scheming & was too emotional when FTY’s name was mentioned. FTY is his weakness so anyone would think that for personal reasons ZL would frame General Secretary Yu. Just Like Yu father was alluding to FTY about the egg ( young ZL) crashing against the stone (Yu’s empire), it will only crack itself so this was warning against ZL & FTY.
