    Jinshi is in fact 19. Hes just pretending to be 24 as a "eunuch".

    the “previous empress dowager” is the current emperor’s paternal grandmother, his mother would be the current empress dowager (who we saw at the garden party)

    I think he was shocked seeing Mao-Mao hurt.

      This was also how I interpreted that scene. Considering that Lakan thought Jinshi's ranking in the palace was higher than is being shown, carrying Mao-Mao outside showed him just how much Jinshi really cared for, hence the shock. Also his precious daughter came out looking seriously injured.

    The ceremony plot was in place since before Maomao was at the rear palace. So it doesn't make sense to use her as a motive for Lakan.
    The Emperor knows that Jinshi is his son, but he can't make Jinshi his successor since in the eyes of everyone else, he is his sickly younger brother.
    Suirei was tesing Maomao when she told her about a resurrection drug. She was trying to see if Maomao would be an obstacle that needed to be disposed before the assassination plot. Had Maomao responded that she was aware of such a resurrection drug, Suirei might have killed her right then and there

    Jinshi believes he is the emperor's brother when in reality he is his son who would be the crown prince.

    I think Lakhan was not involved in the assassination plot because he was the one who gave hints about what was going to happen to Jinshi until Mao Mao was able to resolve the situation.

    57:52 The subs are not exactly right. He doesn’t say “new” prince, he says, the “next” crown prince 「次の東宮」… a prince to inherit the throne.

    42:52 - 54:23 I don't think jinshi knows he's the Emperor's son. The Emperor either doesn't know/might have some suspicions/or does know but is acting like he doesn't know. There would probably only be a handful of people who actually know that Jinshi is actually the current Emperor's son & not his brother.
    Both Ah-duo and the Empress Dowager *(her mother in-law)* were pregnant/gave birth at the same time. Maomao's dad was taken away from helping Ah-duo give birth to go help the Empress Dowager give birth. She was considered a higher priority because she was the Empress at the time & because she was a *_VERY_* young girl giving birth *(Episode 5 or 6 mentioned that the father of the current emperor preferred younger girls)*. Due to that, Ah-duo wound up losing her uterus after giving birth. Due to having a traumatic childbirth, Ah-duo thought/realized that if Jinshi *(Ah-duo's son)* & her brother in-law were to get sick/injured/or if there were any assassination attempts he would have been viewed as lower priority just like she was. With this in mind, Ah-duo chose to switch the babies so Jinshi would be raised as the Emperor's brother instead of as his son in order for him to get the best protection & she would raise her brother in-law *(that way she would get the chance to raise a baby even if he wasn't her baby)*. Unfortunately, due to Fengming *(Ah-duo's head lady in waiting in episode 10 & 11)* feeding him honey, the baby *(Ah-duo's brother in-law)* died. Despite her grief over not only the baby's *(Ah-duo's brother in-law)* death & giving up her chance to raise Jinshi, this incident probably made her relieved that she switched the babies otherwise, Jinshi would have been the one who died.
    I can't remember which episode it was but it had the current Emperor call Jinshi his gardener for his flower garden (he has Jinshi pretend to be an eunuch in order to ensure that the concubine's are well taken care of & that at least one of them gives birth to a prince to be the next emperor). In that same episode, we see Jinshi's imply that doing this would help lead to him finally get the freedom to pursue his own interests. This mostly means that Jinshi doesn't want to be the next Emperor and that's why he's so adamant about the current Emperor (his dad)"making himself a new prince". Unfortunately for Jinshi, until one of the Emperor's concubine's gives birth to a son, Jinshi will be the next in line to become emperor whether he is known as the current Emperor's son or as "The Emperor's sickly brother".

    From 4 min in I'd point out that Maomao is far more aware of the difference in standing between herself & Jinshi and the difference in station has caused issues before like Maomao being let go from the rear palace.

    "It's not conveyed exactly what's going on but I feel like there's enough information that we should know."
    That's exactly the whole point. That's how I felt too watching it the first time. Even then, I have to overthink just to set the theory I want to go for moving forward. It reminds me of Mob Psycho 100 openings. It's giving you everything while giving you nothing at the same time.

    Great video! If you ever have the time, I highly recommend reading the novels. The author gives a bit more context and more of Maomao and Jinshi's internal monologues. And don't worry, we're supposed to be confused by the plot 😁

    One thing that I keep thinking about is that Jinshi started pretending he was the eunich known as Jinshi when he was 14.

  • @dssrkr
    @dssrkr 7 днів тому +4

    Before anyone comes at me saying I gave spoilers, I didn't 😑 everything here was in the previous episodes. So... 😅
    1.Jinshi is technically the imperial prince/The emperor's brother officially (but he's actually the first son) he is the next in line to the throne. He actually doesn't say new he says the next prince. And as there is no Prince to inherit the throne Jinshi is the heir. Jinshi needs to insure a prince to be born so he doesn't have to inherit the throne.
    And no he doesn't know he is the son , he thinks himself as the imperial Prince (emperor's brother)
    2. No, not the Empress dowager's favourite it's the "previous empress dowager". Which is the current Emperor's grandmother/ the previous emperor's mother.
    Concubine Loulan's father is the favourite follower of the old empress dowager. Not the current one (the emperor's mother)
    3. Lakhan didn't skim the plot. But he did figure it out. Only Suirei did. Suirei dressed as a man and did it. She's the one from every skim the blue eyed guy who did the stuff like; putting the salt , giving the info of the seaweed, order the proxy metal equipment to be made aslo the explosion as a woman etc
    She made a resurrection medicine which is actually a Anastasia that creates a state of induced comma. Everything was planned. She also said to Maoma "I heard you're an apothecary. Let's see how good you are"
    4. Lakhan is one of the smartest strategist. He figured everything out but said nothing to Jinshi. He gave different mysteries for jinshi to figure out. Basically gave Jinshi puzzles to figure out his own assassination. He could've told him but didn't. Because he was mad at jinshi for buying/stealing his daughter, who he spent a decade trying to convince to come live with him. He gave clues to figure out and if not Jinshi would've died. He didn't care. It was all fun and games. The reason he is shocked because he didn't calculate Maomao getting hurt in the process. He's shocked cause he didn't want Maomao to get hurt. Other things there but I can't say or I'll end up giving spoilers 😅

      I think from what I've seen from other materials, Lakan didn't "know the plot", but "know something fishy was going on", but he couldn't care less to lift a finger and do something about it, and instead fed Jinshi bits and pieces for him to figure it out in his stead. In order to let Jinshi do that and not involve Maomao, he asked for her to be returned to him, and by that also getting her back as "his daughter". That's why when he saw Maomao getting hurt, he was shocked and furious, as he feels bitter that she was swept in this conspiracy.

      How does Jinshi not know he is the crown prince? He knows Ah duo is his mother and his mother only had a relationship with the current emperor?

    53:23 lo intercambian antes del envenenamiento.
    54:13 no, Mao Mao teoriza que la misma Ah-duo es autora intelectual del intercambio al presencir la prioridad en el trato de los demás en comparación que el hijo de un emperador

  • @chukasssss
    @chukasssss 7 днів тому +3

    I love the theories about Lakan and his curious play, but it would be explained more properly in the final episode. Lakan is more elaborated in these turns of events in the light novel. It's almost as if the manga and the anime was made to appeal to smart people for them to put the pieces together and figure it out themselves. They really made this arc as vague as possible to setup one of the biggest plot twist in anime.

    "Jinshi" is a eunuch and 24. We don't know the guy's real name, which would be known as the Emperor's 19-year -old brother. The ACTUAL truth, is that he's the Emperor's 19-year-old son. He's got double secrets. The secret Lakan knows is that he's the brother.

    47:14 la abuela del emperador actual, que en ese momento era la emperatriz viuda, tenía favoritismo con el padre de Loulan, Shishou.
    La actual emperatriz viuda es la madre del emperador, y la anterior, la madre de su padre el anterior emperador, en otra palabras, su abuela

    TL;DR: Lakan didn't do it, but he was genius enough to put all the pieces together. He just drip-fed everything to Jinshi, knowing eventually it would reach Maomao. He wanted to see what Maomao was capable of, and in essence he's a bit of a sh*t-stirrer. But when he saw what happened to Maomao, he stepped in and stepped up to help her, seeing how much it meant to her.
    Remember, Lakan did not see how injured Maomao was just from the iron mallet strike; think of how a father might feel finally seeing the damage done to your own child, knowing you are partially responsible by just messing around.
    Jinshi is already revealed to be the son of the current Emperor and Ah-Duo, but has been hidden. To secure the throne, the Emperor needs to have another son and public hier, since Jinshi has been hidden.

  • @delcattykawaii

    George is right, Jinshi doens't know that he is Emperor's son, he and basically everyone who knows him thinks that he is Emperor's brother, only a few people knows about the baby swap.

  • @MoOrion
    @MoOrion 7 днів тому

    Yes he knows. Jinshi leaves a thought unfinished... that unfinished portion is what he refers to as a delusion. The delusion likely being himself becoming the Emperor. He then goes on to think that the Emperor just needs to make himself a new Prince... so that Jinshi doesn't have to be the heir.
    This is not spoilers... this is what you're supposed to "get" from this episode.

    • @starrymoon194
      @starrymoon194 6 днів тому

      Even after 15 light novels, Jinshi doesn’t actually know that he’s the Emperor’s son. He once thought of the possibility that he may be the son but just dismisses that thought.

  • @Mirthy0902
    @Mirthy0902 7 днів тому

    48:26 no fue 10 años después, sería adecuado decir "y más de una década después" porque entonces no coincidiria el relato del nacimiento del hijo de Ah duo y su hermano menor.
    49:04 no, la madre del emperador en ese entonces no era una concubina, sino la emperatriz, después de todo ella fue la única que le dió hijos al emperador anterior.
    Despidieron al padre de Mao mao porque no pudo salvarlo y murió el hijo de la emperatriz, no el de una concubina, aunque eso no se sabe en público

  • @Mirthy0902
    @Mirthy0902 7 днів тому

    57:40 no se si es mala traducción pero Jinshi se refiere a que quiere que el emperador se de prisa a tener otro principe o mejor dicho se apresure a tener su príncipe heredero. La razón de eso? Ustedes piensen lo

  • @Mirthy0902
    @Mirthy0902 7 днів тому

    Otra cosa, no tiene sentido que Lakan haya sido el que conspiró todo eso si le dió tantas pistas a los demás, solo es un tipo relajado que prefiere mover las pizas para resolver el problema que mover el culo para resolverlas
