ep 15 spoilers ahead

1.The regent meets with princess's brother and tells him that the signal will be 'throwing his wine'

2.Princess is dressed and ready to get married....(what follows is the biggest bit of nonsense and I am not sure if I like it yet)

3.The regent in front of everyone announces that he is going to take the role of king. The Xu brother then proudly announces that he killed the late emperor---our Ling'er surprises the regent and stabs him in the back. While the regent is bleeding out Xu summons his soldiers, and fights with the emperor--then the regent kills Xu. Then we learn that the regent is actually been dirtying his hands, taking down all the opposition to the crown. he tricked the emperor in order to trick his enemies, and made himself out to be a bad guy. He did this because the xu family is very powerful. (this is like a triple quadruple betrayal--Ling'er betrays the emperor, then she betrays the regent, then Xu betrays everyone, then the regent betrays Xu.....)

4.Now both Ling'er and Emperor are sad...

5. (this is really twisted) so princess of the xu (the one in love with the emperor/supposed to wed him) is sobbing in her room. in shock. not knowing what to do. she's lost everything. one of the emperor's guards (he is the best looking guard/can't remember his name) arrives and asks if she wants to escape with him...the princess stares at him and then there is a flashback....apparently once she tried to seduce the emperor but he left....she inhaled a white mist and turns around and he is back...they hook up. but wait! it's actually this guard. this is def. date rape. the emperor found out but because of his loyalty kept it a secret....(might explain why she is so in love with him)

6.unsurprisingly, the princess has a bad reaction to this realization
