Episode 6 37:40 and Episode 48 end. Just check the crane feather. I believe the show had a lot of good stuff got cut during censorship's requirement to cut down from 55 to 48.

Lang Huan already knew their relationship when they touched hand the first time to go back with her. So she can only be surprised if HS is pregnant. In the novel, it was also Lang Huan found out HS is pregnant first before HS knew herself

If you don't care about spoil. Both didn't die, but they can't be openly together because they have to raise Di Xu's son together to become adult emperor. The drama also indicated in a couple of places that HS was pregnant with FJM's son before Di Xu died. So their own son is likely a prince as well. So it is kinda sour happy ending.

And as indicated in my other post, they indeed had a son together. I think the censorship that forces the show to cut from 55 episode to 48 destroyed a lot of hints and its associated scenes.

What does the English subtitle say? I was watching with the Chinese subtitle. Both the subtitle and the announcement in Chinese say "his oldest son asks FengWu Palace CunRong Consort to be Empress"

What does the subtitle say? In Chinese, it is literally "his oldest son WeiYun ask FengWu Palace cunrong consort to be Empress"

Yeah, the announcement say oldest son is made Crown Prince. If there is no younger son, you won't say oldest son:) and the only younger son can only be by Haishi, and she has to be pregnant already:)

Not only he didn't die. Apparently HS and FJM had their son as younger prince. Listen carefully what 36:50 in episode 48 is saying.

Yeah, this drama has nothing to do with other series, and well worth it.

Haishi is already pregnant with FJM's son, indicated by 36:50 in episode 48.

Watch 36:50 episode 48. How was that dubbed in English? I was watching the Chinese version. It says Di Xu's oldest son is made crown prince. But we all know Di Xu has one son. Haishi can only have FJM's son, so her son will be younger son, and can only pregnant before Di Xu died. That's why they have to have the scene in 47 where HS flirting to go inside. Haha

Me too. I already knew the speculation of this ending, but I didn't know FJM actually lived

agree. I watched storm eye and I had to fast forward a lot of episodes. I wish Lin was the director, then I believe NPE would have beeen a greater hit. Now I felt some of the episodes are bad, and some episodes might be missing, it is a pity the drama is not consistently great throughout.

The two produced the worst dramas for Yang Mi. And the two also had some 2/10 douban ratings drama under their belt. That has been my biggest worry about NPE before it aired. I truly think if this were directed by Lin Yufen, it would be bigger hit.

The list is not correct. The article you quote was wrong. If you skip to 1:48 in the opening, you will see on screen that the two co-directors are Jin Sha and Yu Bo. The two had produced worst dramas for Yang Mi. I really hope Yang Mi not to use them anymore.

If this drama truly had Lin Yufen as one of the directors, it would have been even a bigger hit. The current list of Directors are wrong. Lin is not a director for this. Jin Sha has not been a great director. Not sure how other feel, I often get the feeling that the production of the episodes are not same quality. Some episodes are great, and some episodes are so so. Almost feel like there are two independent crew working in parallel.

Same. It was draggy and I stopped and went to read novel instead. Then I restarted. The later plot that cover XuanJi state was great. I ended up rewatching the XuanJi episodes a couple of times.

I dropped Fuyao in the middle to read novel. But after reading novel, I liked how the drama adapted from the novel, so went back and enjoyed the rest. I am glad that I finished it. It was great in the last state.

But there are some scenes in the disaster relief that HS looks gorgeous too, I would not skip that:) also it is during those episode, FZ helped a little to make people worship HS. Just ff those scenes without HS or FZ:)

43-47 are pretty sweet. 48 is gonna be gut wrenching.
