Bodyguard Qingyan and Jinghe were fighting the CP in ep. 23. . But the final part had the CP knocking down Jinghe. Was Qingyan killed or perhaps severely injured?

Gen Yin said that Li Qing was a Xiyan spy. And the architect of the Massacre. Will Mei Lin discover proof in Xiyan that rather than a renegade, he had the backing of the Xiyan King and that makes the CP complicit with the enemy power during wartime? Is something like that in the book?

The film crew is assembled at the location. Shoot one cliff jump. Change costumes and adjust the scenery and shoot the second jump. Maybe I am guessing right, maybe wrong. With CGI, it won't b hard to make the scenery look different.

Filmed both at the same time to save costs? lol

I don't think she will kill him but betray him at a critical moment. I remember seeing a scene where he is cradling her still body. She can't get a break with someone to give her heart to. Concubine Yan smeared the antidote on her arms to take to the Emperor at the end of ep. 21.

Ep. 21. Some brave and resourceful women. Concubine Yan steps up to the plate.

You were right. In the ep. 20 preview, the CP used Xiyan poison inscence to put the Emperor in a coma just at Jinghe presented evidence about the CP. I'm trying to look for a preview link posted here earlier where the CP is cradling Luomei.

He may not end up with either. Baidu on Gen Yin says that she must choose between her beloved CP or the interests of her nation.

Gets his girl waits for the Emperor to die. Got his girl. And her family's power.

He lied about allowing her to be a general and empress. Watch the deal he made with his Aunt at the beginning of ep. 17.. He also wants to take down the power of the Lin Family. The Emperor probably did the same with his Empress's Dejia's Yuchi Family. Ends justify his evil means?

She watched until ep. 11. But I think that the spectre of the novel and its very mysogynistic ML colored her review.

His face was battered and he became the fake corpse.

He must think of his nation first. the CP is the best contender to replace him. To drag him down for killing his brother serves no purpose with no credible replacement. I suspect that to be Emperor, he probably killed his brother/rivals, too. He knows, what the CP doesn't,is that there must be checks and balances or the CP will become a terrible despot. Eliminating rivals just weakens the nation.

I wonder if they will end up there at the end?

The current tragedy apparently started because their mother killed herself because of the Ji. That is apparently why the Lord imprisoned his brother and took his soldiers to slaughter the Ji in their Sushui hidden land. I'm gong to re-watch it but what did the Ji have to do with their mother's death?

Agree.

SE There are two endings shown one after the other, but the SE is last. Think Gift of the Magi and Romeo and Juliet.

Yes. I know nightshade from the Peanuts strip where Snoopy talks about eating nightshade. It's a No no for pets. We had the plants with the black berries in Hawaii.

She starts figuring things out in the middle of ep. 2 with the Weibei Army tokens and tells Jinhe that he isn't the culprit in the middle of the next.

Who is the intended for the Crown Prince? I suspect it may be Concubine Yan. If her brother climbs to the top of Xiyan, his sister as Empress may stay his hand at starting another war. Splitting the CP from Gen. Yin and her army could keep the CP in check. Yin married to Prince Jing would provide a balance of power in that kingdom.
