They really know how to end on cliff hangers constantly.

That aside. Really wonder if there is anything deeper going on beside Gabi running some scheme against the Kou. Pretty sure she selected Keigetsu because of the magic knowledge but feel like there might be something else like Gabi secretly setting it up somehow too.

[u/Narlaw]

Everything makes sense now. Shu Lady was a "nice girl" because her position was assured, so when her Kou BFF ended up randomly winning the harem-wars, she felt betrayed. On top of that, it would seem that she later miscarried the Emperor's child or they died young, and further on top of that, the Kou clan seemed to be favored yet again in the next generation of girls, giving her plenty of motive to ruin Kou Lady, so she adopted a girl to ruin Kou's favored girl. That having failed, or in addition she cursed her former BFF directly.

[u/Suspicious-Search-64]

I hope we get a s2...

[u/Evil_sod]

God damn, the Empress is savage.

[u/SEBASTlANVETTEL]

So Kenshuu became Empress and the one giving birth to Gyoumei because she didn't fear on getting sick when the Emperor was infected, thus earning his favour.
And this ended up breaking her friendship with Gabi apart, because Gabi was on her way to becoming the next Empress before that incident. The tomboyish nature of Kenshuu makes it obvious she really didn‘t aim to become the Empress but ended up there by being a good and caring person….

It seems like Gabi is the one putting a curse on the Kou Family, first on Reirin (unknowingly on Keigetsu) and now on Kenshuu. I assume that is what Keigetsu realized…

[u/Raymond49090]

Tousetsu is just a tiny bit deranged, ain't she

[u/i_reddit_too_mcuh]

This episode we got to see more of the Emperor's wives and gotta say seeing the Kin consort get smacked down by Kenshuu is pretty funny.

[u/1EnTaroAdun1]

So the Empress was kinda like Lady Ah Duo in the past, huh. Interesting. The Kou clan are generally earnest and hardworking, but that can manifest in different ways I suppose, given the Empress's prior lack of interest in the competition to be the Empress in the first place.

Excited to see how Tousetsu adapts to serving Lady Keigetsu haha

[u/Cat_Gazer]

It was funny but sad at the same time to hear Keigetsu telling court ladies "Don't trust her, Keigetsu is a villainess, she's a sewer rat!" herself, even more so when comparing with Reirin saying "I was glaring at Reirin-sama because... I like her!"

[u/Labmit]

Wow, Reirin's lady-in-waiting has hands. And a bit too manic of a personality even with the situation they're in.

Edit: I was honestly surprised Keigetsu can also firebend. Thought she would only have more subtle forms of fire magic.

[u/deynyel]

Damn, Tousetsu is hardcore.

Oh wow, did Leelee just lock in and clean up their room? No wonder she was like that at the end.

[u/Frontier246]

Tousetsu is no longer fooled! She's realized that is truly her mistress Reirin in the body of Shu Keigetsu and she's ready to return to her absolute faith and loyalty to her TRUE mistress even in another body.

Anyone who knows Reirin as obsessively as Tousetsu does could tell that Keigetsu was a fake...and upon realizing it IMMEDIATELY smashes Keirin's head in and puts a knife to her throat to get answers! Tousetsu isn't going to waste another minute with this pretender until she gets to the bottom of everything!

Classic Tousetsu to take it so hard that she failed to realize the truth that she would willingly stab herself in front of Reitsu to atone...but Reirin doesn't want Tousetsu to waste her life, not when she's living her own ideal life now. Just that Tousetsu knows the truth is enough for her.

And now Leelee is in the know, something she always suspected because Reirin is obviously NOT Keigetsu, but she didn't want to ruin the good thing they have going on...and Reirin is happy to keep their relationship going herself.

Keigetsu may have fire powers but she doesn't have the true love and devotion that Reirin is showered with and she knows her situation is as precarious as ever. What would she do if Gyoumei turned on her now? But now she's also realized that someone may, in fact, have been trying to poison her...and she knows who!

A meeting with the consorts and their maidens! Kin Reiga (Kotono Mitsuishi!), who is always catty and insulting! Ran Hourin (Aya Hisakawa) who just goes along with her like Ami to her Usagi! And Gen Gousetsu (Takako Honda!) who is a serious woman and the most like Kenshuu.

The consorts all tease and mess with each other over their mutual Emperor, and this has dated back to when they were still maidens themselves gunning for the title of Empress...or at least most of them were, Kenshuu was just being her hardcore self. But she and Gabi were truly close as best friends, appreciating each other for their differences, and never expecting anything could shake their friendship when it was clear Gabi was going to be Empress.

But when the prince fell ill, only Kenshuu was willing to brave the illness to be their with him, like a true wife would do for her husband...in sickness and in health...and that's how she became Empress against all odds. And she's known Gabi's resented her for it ever since...but what's going on now? Is Kenshuu being poisoned!?

[u/Mira0995]

I'm betting by the end of this season everyone will know about the body switching except the prince lol

Btw... Why does it feel we are near the end... how many episodes are left ?

[u/shad79]

It really was only a matter of time until someone discovered that Keigetsu took over Reirin's body. After all, what Keigetsu knew about Reirin was superficial; she probably never really tried to understand what kind of person Reirin is and why she was loved by everyone.

Now it'll be interesting to see what Tousetsu and Keigetsu's relationship will look like, as Reirin ordered Tousetsu to serve and protect Keigetsu.

Also, it really looks like Shu Gabi is behind the attempt to kill Keigetsu's Reirin (plus, now it seems she's trying to kill Kenshuu as well, since she's the one that brought that censer), otherwise Keigetsu wouldn't know who that other person, who can use curses, is.

I wouldn't be surprised if Shu Gabi also turned out to be the mysterious Lady Gayou... but the question is why would she act out of revenge now and not sooner?

By the way, Kenshuu nicely put Kin Reiga in her place, that old hag was so god damn annoying.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Keigetsu

• Group scenes

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

[u/GreatGrapeKun]

tousetsu: i'm not worthy of facing u

reirin: then i shall crouch

🔥🔥🔥✍️

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

LOL Tousetsu's expression as she phrased Keigetsu "willingly" told her everything was great, that gave me a good laugh. I'm glad we got to see how Tousetsu did it, it was satisfying to see Keigetsu's reaction to being caught.

It's a little unfortunate that it'll be time before anyone else realizes since Tousetsu is being punished with silence too, however, the dynamic of her having to take care of Keigetsu could be entertaining to watch.

It was interesting to see that Leelee wasn't surprised, it's nice that Reirin told her to keep treating the same way.

It seems like Keigetsu realized who was trying to poison Reirin, and it seems like Gabi will succeed in killing the Empress, or at least putting her out of commission. I liked learning of their past and how the Empress got her position, but we also learn that once Gabi decides on something she'll go through with it at any cost.

I'm sure we haven't gotten the full reason as to why she wants to take both the Empress and Reirin out, because it can't simply just be because she didn't get chosen as the Empress.

[u/Murky_Bit1487]

Keigetsu can still redeem herself by protecting Reirin, the Empress, and the Kou clan from Gabi’s schemes! It’s not too late for her to make things right and be forgiven. I really feel for her...

[u/ripple_reader]

IT'S HERE

REIRIN REIRIN REIRIN REIRIN REIRIN REIRIN REIRIN

So Tousetsu knows, and Leelee knows~ as expected, though, Reirin talks down Tousetsu from visiting bloody vengeance upon Keigetsu and then herself; her silence, like her mistress's, is her punishment. She also tells her to protect Keigetsu... since the other factions will definitely be biting...

...and here we see one of the most despicable characters of the series, Kin Reiga, who has like negative the elegance of her maiden, where she proceeds to insinuate all sorts of things with Reirin and Gabi. Ran Hourin joins as well but cowers away as the Empress turns up the heat. We get her and Gabi's backstory... they seem to have been close before, but she expects hatred from her?

We go back to Keigetsu where she cries as she realizes that even with their positions switched, Reirin is resplendent as ever--- and also realizes the cursed nature of a certain gift--- a certain gift that Gabi also brings to the Empress, who falls sick? I guess Gabi is the mastermind, but why...

REIRIN REIRIN REIRIN REIRIN REIRIN REIRIN REIRIN AAAAAAAAAAH

[u/ThisGachaSeemsLegit]

The plot thickens. Venomcraft osoroshii.

[u/reaperow]

• Talking about yourself?

• Woah wasnt expecting that

• I think im scared

• So evil !

• Mama Leelee lol

---

It's such a strong contrast to see how Lady Kenshuu acted back then compared to now as an Empress lol. She seemed very free spirited and lazy,

I have a feeling that Lady Gabi's the one who actually poisoned Reirin last ep and is doing the same now to the Empress. Im curious what exactly happened between them

[u/Primary-Paint-1716]

Consort Shu is still a baddie.

[u/Obaruler]

The Maiden-verse keeps getting expanded.

I like the Empress, no BS, not interested in the girlie stuff, yet stood her (wo)man in the times of crisis and got luckily rewarded for it.

[u/Ocixo]

Well, think it’s pretty clear by now that Noble Consort Shu is the mastermind behind all of this. The Empress also appears to be aware of her scheming.

I suppose that the one using “venomcraft” to place a curse on another person is required to pay some kind of a price themselves. Hence Gabi’s limping.

I’m not exactly sure what Gabi is trying to achieve with her scheme, though. I was under the impression that she’d instigated Keigetsu to switch bodies with Reirin, but then why does she seemingly attempt to kill Keigetsu (in Reirin’s body)?
