ep 10 spoilers ahead

1.We open to empress, revelling in her plan of world domination. We learn she killed her husband and is trying to avoid 'never being abandoned again'

2.Change scene, the princess recovers ruo fei (slain by the assassins while protecting Tianyi) and clearly knows martial arts. Reminds me of a ninga. When the body returns, Tianyi observes blood form his eyes/mouth and then body is examined. then we learn that poison on the arrow killed him, there is no cure, and that this poison was banned by the emperor's father. Now they know that the regent is behind this...and Tianyi is planning to not just get even but to sent a strong message to his enemies...

3.Minister Xue is summoned before the emperor, asked to pay for his crimes, and the minister admits to everything but is so smug that he can get off...it seems Minister Xue is to be executed and now the regent will be notified (why do I feel like he is innocent and this is part of a big plot?)

4.Yu is stunned and baffled by JIshu's appearance, and Jishu and him escape

5.Change scene: Tianjun is really enjoying his new life...he is quite drunk,.

6.The regent intervenes and the emperor is force to release him (...plot?)

7.the princess it turns out is Minister Xue's brother. He is quite angry with her as he knows she helped Tianyi...he seems a bit violent.

8.Ling'er meanwhile delivers food to the emperor, he lashes out and throws it to the ground only to find out it is her. She wants to help him, he sends her out (probably because he doesn't want anyone to know she is a weakness...)

9.But Ling'er goes back in, and actually sees him crying (!) she tries to comfort him (not in that way! just in a friendly way)

10.Back to Tianjun. His servant girl seems to have some ninja skills. She follows him to the star pavilion and tells him 'from darkness shall arise light'. whatever that means, it involves destroying the special candelabra from the beginning of the series. After a fight with the star lords, it falls to the ground, there is a weird darkness, then a weird light and a black flower on the ground. The two escape, and while coughing up blood Tianjun suspects it is an important clue...

*i liked this episode because of the intrigue and the chance to see a vulnerable Tianyi
