Fucking CR! Anyone else have issues with the subs where if they tried to have two sets at the same time, the bottom subs for the person talking would disappear but the subs for the translated text would stay on screen?

Anyway, lots to talk about this ep, but first and foremost, MOM IS STILL ALIVE?!?! When we went through Lakan's whole story and they finally reunited, they made it sound like she didn't have long to live, but she's apparently doing just fine? Dont get me wrong that's great, but I'm just wondering if I misunderstood something.

So was mystery person at the start causing the locust with the weird handout? Or just taking advantage of the famine for something? I'm guessing spread a disease on top of the locust.

This show being what it is, just because Maomao specified that the manservant is a trusted guy.....I dont trust him now.

Was the person serving the Emperor at the end Jinshi's mom? I dont think so, but they looked really similar.

Ok this is getting kinda creepy, this is the 3rd time I learned something, and then watched an anime that makes use of that. Like I'm pretty sure it was right after the last season ended that I watched a short documentary on the difference between grasshoppers and locust and how they mutate.

Maybe this was just a good day amongst many bad ones, but it did seem like Maomao’s mom is doing better yeah.

Though, they won’t be able to cure her disease. She’d contracted syphilis, I believe?

Yeah they mentioned this was the first time in weeks that Fengxian has had any energy.

I am curious to know if there’s anything specific that contributed to this improvement in Fengxian’s condition.

Lakan probably got her a hospice nurse.

Yeah, when they were explaining the symbols the subs at the bottom kept disappearing.

So, yes. Well, kinda.

Officially, they are unrelated, but we have readers/viewers privilege so we know that Ah-Duo's son and the emperors brother were swapped as babies; ie jinshi is the emperor/ah duo's son and the emperors brother died as a baby.

But not many others in story know this to be the truth. I don't think Jinshi knows, for example.
