    Maomao's dad actually seems shifty as hell.

    He seems normal enough to me. Just soft spoken.

    Good jab at Maomao having no common sense, and Jenshi's pouting about being ignored episodes ago was funny. I expect this will lead us into an arc with Loulan, now that fruity ice contact has been made. Apparently there is a chronic lack of problem solvers in the emperor's love nest...

    Not if the eunuch takes all the credit for it.

    She may ask him for information about the dessert, or ask for it to be reproduced; either way she'll quickly realize the eunich has no power over frosted treats.

    episode 40. we're nearing the point the manga got to, probably at the final part of the season.

    I guess the color-blindness thing is important for something.

    Well, it implies the guy is probably from that bloodline.

    Well never mind, looks like resurrection lady is the eunich after all...

    So, what is the significance of insect girl being literate (just before getting taken hostage?) For a second, I suspected she might be Loulan in disguise...

    The bloodline came from West. In the context of this show, might as well call it West Asia. Relative to not-China, that'd be Central Asia.

    The dude could be from the bloodline, but also could be simply from that region. Add that to the whole caravan thing, and it'd suggest that there's an attempt by the Central Asian nation/s to sabotage the royalty of not-China.

    I'm glad I missed last week's episode and had to catch up this week because that was a hell of a cliffhanger.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Sabotage? Or re-introduce? Remember that the color blindness is considered a trait of the true bloodline. Which traces itself back to the original inhabitants of this land before it was taken over. And there's this secret sect of advisor women that has supposedly been controlling the true bloodline the whole time.

    Sabotage as in to disrupt the current state of affairs.

    The "founding mother" came from afar, got pregnant with local leadership, which spawned the current royal bloodline. It's a paternal system thereon wards though. The founding mother sought to maintain her bloodline's influence (or at least its presence) within this system by making sure the colour-blind gene was passed on from ruler to ruler (or with the aid of a concubine with such a trait).

    In this light, I'd say they're sabotaging because they're interfering with the current royal bloodline's inheritance.
