下女とフォンミンのシーン入れてほしかったな

I wish they had included the scene between the servant and Fengming.

>>313
お互い主人を守るために手を組んだという忠誠と共感と阿多妃のカリスマがよかったのにな
穏やかなフォンミンが里樹を非難する激しさも見たかったのに、全部猫猫の語りで流されてしまった

>>313
The loyalty and sympathy created when they joined forces to protect their respective mistresses, along with Concubine Ah-Duo’s charisma, were excellent.
I also wanted to see the normally gentle Fengming fiercely condemn Lishu, but the anime conveyed everything through Maomao’s narration.

おいおいまさかの展開にビビるよこれぶっちゃけ阿多妃何故罪に問われなかったの?どう考えても死罪だろなにこれ

That development shocked me. Honestly, why was Concubine Ah-Duo not charged? This seems like it should have been a capital offense.

赤ん坊のすり替えがあったとして皇太后はなんで何も言わなかったんだろ

If the babies really were switched, why did the Empress Dowager say nothing?

皇太后は知ってるけど黙ってる。
どっちみち孫だし

The Empress Dowager knows, but she keeps silent.
Either way, he is her grandson.

堀に身投げした侍女は無駄死に?

Did the servant who threw herself into the moat die for nothing?

マオマオは壬氏の事になると急に察しが悪くなるよな

Maomao suddenly becomes slow on the uptake whenever Jinshi is involved.

ハチミツ殺人もチェンジリングもバレたら人間関係ぶっ壊れ粛清の嵐が吹き荒れそうだから
片足だけで済んだおやじーはまだマシなほうだったのか

If both the honey death and the baby swap became public, relationships would collapse and a storm of purges could follow.
Perhaps Maomao’s adoptive father was fortunate to lose only one leg.

Doesn’t Jinshi still not know that Lady Ah-Duo is his biological mother?

皇太后(当時の皇后)も了承の上取り替えたとして
やっぱり皇太后何でそんなことを了承したのか分からん

Even if the Empress Dowager—then the Empress—approved the exchange, I still do not understand why she would agree to it.

2023/12/17(日) 02:08:28.78 ID:XQ71pFsb0

>>339
そっか
すり替えで罪を問うと皇太后も罪に問われるからすり替えがバレたとしても公にできないのか
結果そのまま事実は隠されてて上層部だけがじんしが現皇帝の息子であーどーひの子って知ってるんだな

>>339
I see. If they punished the baby swap, the Empress Dowager would also be implicated, so even if it were discovered they could not make it public.
The truth therefore remained hidden, while only the upper ranks knew that Jinshi was the current Emperor’s son and Concubine Ah-Duo’s child.

産後の肥立ちが悪くて母乳の出が悪かったから飴替わりに蜂蜜を与えてたのか慈養の為だったのか解らないが厚意としてやった事が赤子の死とは辛すぎる

I do not know whether Fengming gave the baby honey because Concubine Ah-Duo’s difficult recovery left her unable to produce enough milk, as a sweet, or as nourishment. Either way, it is unbearably sad that an act of kindness caused the baby’s death.

357 風の谷の名無しさん@実況は実況板で
2023/12/17(日) 02:56:23.32 ID:waNbvxaQM

はちみつで赤子は死んだけどその前に何故か赤子がすり替えられていたからあーどー妃の本当の子供(じんし様)は生きてるであってますか?

The baby died from honey, but before that the babies had somehow been switched, so Concubine Ah-Duo’s real child—Jinshi—is still alive. Is that correct?

359 風の谷の名無しさん@実況は実況板で
2023/12/17(日) 02:59:47.81 ID:JLVqUA8i0

あのさ、これってどう贔屓目に見ても濡れ衣を着せられ追放された羅漢が後宮に猫猫を送り込んで関係者に復讐したように見えませんか?
風明に自分の素性明かしたし当時の事情を知る人に情報が伝わればそう取ってもおかしくないと思います

No matter how favorably I look at it, could this appear as though Luomen—falsely blamed and expelled—sent Maomao into the rear palace to take revenge on those involved?
Maomao revealed her background to Fengming, so if the information reached someone who knew the old circumstances, that interpretation would not be unreasonable.

>>367
計画だったら因果だねえなんて台詞は言わないと思う

If it had been planned, I do not think Luomen would have said, “What goes around comes around.”

とりあえず羅漢じゃなくて羅門な
仮に後宮に送ったのが策略だとしたら、その後が運任せすぎるだろw
下女のまま2年間務めて終了が普通なのに

>>367
First, it is Luomen, not Lakan.
If sending Maomao into the rear palace had been a scheme, everything afterward would have depended far too much on chance, lol.
Normally she would simply have completed two years as a servant and left.

出産途中で医師が強制退室なんて母体も赤子も下手すれば死ぬし
出産時に赤子の脳に酸素がいかなかったら障害が出てこれも下手すれば水子扱い

皇后に比べ全てにおいて軽い命という扱いを受ける事が身に沁みたんだろうな

Forcing the physician out during labor could easily have killed both mother and child. If the baby’s brain lacked oxygen during delivery, it could also have caused a disability or even a stillbirth.
Concubine Ah-Duo must have felt deeply that her life and her child’s life were treated as less important than the Empress’s.

悪役を悪役として断罪しないからあんまスッキリしない解決編だった

The resolution did not feel very satisfying because no villain was clearly condemned as a villain.

過去のやらかしを隠すためとはいえ蜂蜜のこと言わんのはダメだろ
今の帝の子が食っちゃうかもしれんのに

Even if it was to hide what happened in the past, failing to warn people about honey is wrong.
One of the current Emperor’s children could eat it.

I fell asleep and only just finished it, but it was interesting enough to wake me up.
There were so many elements this time that I will watch it again after I get some sleep.

なんで赤子の入れ替えがあったのかよくわからなかった

I did not really understand why the babies were switched.

2023/12/17(日) 05:27:48.82 ID:waNbvxaQM

あーどー妃がどんな手をつかったかは分からないが赤子を取り替えた理由は
自分の経験から我が子に何かあった場合の医療を後回しにさせないため?

Whatever method Concubine Ah-Duo used, did she exchange the babies because her own experience made her want to ensure that treatment for her child would never be delayed?

2023/12/17(日) 06:20:40.11 ID:cLVGmkVpd

アードゥオ妃を見るうえで子供取り替えた理由をどうしても看過できない、稀代の悪女にしか見れないって人もいるだろうね

Some viewers may be unable to overlook Concubine Ah-Duo’s reason for exchanging the children and may see her only as an extraordinary villain.

405 風の谷の名無しさん@実況は実況板で
2023/12/17(日) 06:31:32.00 ID:f0jcAM2pa

風明の罪名って何?
自首内容は今回のタイトルの2つに1つ、つまり猫猫が言ってた「里樹妃の毒殺」と「赤子の死の原因」をまとめることで、阿多妃に子の死因をバレないようにする画策だったと思うけど、赤子の死因を言うとバレるし毒殺だけだと1つにまとめたことにならないし何をどう1つにまとめたんだ?

あと子供の取り替えも、皇帝(先帝)の子供を取り替えたにも関わらず、阿多妃は無罪で、羅門は処刑じゃなく肉形とかいう軽そうな罪はどうなん?
そんな甘々なのか後宮って

What exactly was Fengming charged with?
I thought the title “Reducing Two to One” meant combining the attempted poisoning of Concubine Lishu with the cause of the infant’s death, as Maomao suggested, so that Concubine Ah-Duo would not learn the truth. But revealing the infant’s cause of death would expose the honey, while confessing only to the poisoning would not combine two matters into one. What was combined, and how?

Also, despite exchanging the previous emperor’s child, Concubine Ah-Duo went unpunished, while Luomen received physical punishment rather than execution. Was the rear palace really that lenient?

Why did they show the knife so ominously?
I did not expect it to end with Fengming simply collapsing in tears…

壬氏が現帝と阿多妃の息子
日高のり子が毒殺未遂の犯人

これはわかってた

下女が自殺したのはなんで?

I understood that Jinshi is the son of the current Emperor and Concubine Ah-Duo, and that Fengming attempted the poisoning.

But why did the servant take her own life?

>>411
「ロリ妃の暗殺は自分が単独で仕組んだことでした」と罪を一身に被るため、じゃないの?
今で言う、政治家の秘書が自殺、みたいな。

>>411
Was it not to take all the blame by claiming, “I planned the attempt on the young consort by myself”?
It is like a politician’s secretary taking their own life in a modern scandal.

なんか前からアニメスタッフ無能扱いする奴いるけど視聴者側が集中して見てるかどうかの違いでしかないかと
ちゃんと作られてるから見直してみ

I have only watched the anime, but I understood it without much trouble.
Some people keep calling the staff incompetent, but I think the difference is simply whether viewers watched attentively.
It is carefully made, so try watching it again.

やっと追い付いた
訳分からん番組編成した読売テレビの担当者に
猫猫に何か盛って欲しい

多分宝塚な王妃様
全て分かった上で沈黙貫いたんだろうな
20年近くも年月あれば賢い人だし
どっかで真相に気付いたと思うし

I suspect the Takarazuka-like consort understood everything and chose to remain silent.
Nearly twenty years had passed, and she is intelligent, so she probably learned the truth somewhere along the way.

下女は猫猫視点だとかばったか罪を負わされたのかわからんから侍女が手伝った可能性語ったんじゃ
妃の態度から自殺は確定なんだろうけどってだけかと

From Maomao’s perspective, it was unclear whether the maid protected Fengming or was forced to bear the blame, which is why she mentioned that Fengming may have helped her.
Lady Ah-Duo’s reaction suggests that the maid’s death was indeed voluntary, but that is all we can say.

小説や漫画は自分のペースで読めて
わからない名前や部分を読み返したりしながら先へ進めるけど
アニメ含めた映像作品はそうじゃない

他メディアよりわかりやすく構成し直したり
さり気なく補完入れるなど工夫をしないと
ぱぱっと早口で説明入れておしまいでは
初見がついていけなくなる箇所が出るのは当たり前じゃないか

過剰説明台詞やナレーションはいらないが
映像用に作り直す構成力がないと良いアニメにはならんよね

With novels and manga, readers can proceed at their own pace and reread unfamiliar names or confusing passages. Animated works are different.

Unless the material is reorganized for clarity or quietly supplemented, first-time viewers will naturally lose track if the explanation is delivered quickly and then abandoned.

Excessive narration is unnecessary, but a good adaptation still needs the skill to reconstruct the story for the screen.

This episode is difficult without subtitles. Even while reading them, my elementary-school-aged son did not understand what “joining the rear palace” meant.

美形男子に夜に二人きりで抱きしめられているというのに少女漫画的な胸キュン感が出るのかと思いきや「┐(´д`)┌ヤレヤレ」感が出てるのがめっちゃ猫猫っぽいw
あ、男子じゃなくて宦官だからか

Even while being embraced at night by a beautiful young man, Maomao gives off more of an “Oh, give me a break” feeling than romantic excitement. That is very Maomao-like, lol.
Though I suppose he is a eunuch rather than an ordinary young man.

解決したふうに終わったけどまだ解決してなくて続きがあるってことなのかねぇ
残ってる問題は
はちみつおばさんが七色のろしで通じていたものは誰なのか?
纏足下女を城壁に登らせて堀に落としたのは誰なのか?
イケメン妃が赤子の取り替えをしたがそんなことを産後まもない妃が出来るのか?
そんなことが出来るぐらいの地位の人が裏で糸を引いている?
これぐらい?まだふわっとしてること多いし消化不良感半端ないな

それ+猫猫が攫われたのが誰かの策略っぽい感じに終わったしで話が飛び散りすぎてて把握しきれないわ

It ended as though everything had been resolved, but is there more to come?
Questions remain: whom was Fengming contacting with the colored smoke, who helped the bound-footed maid over the wall, and how could Concubine Ah-Duo have exchanged the babies so soon after giving birth?
Was someone powerful working behind the scenes? So much remains vague that the episode feels unresolved.

Then it ended by hinting that Maomao’s kidnapping may also have been someone’s scheme. The story is spreading in so many directions that it is difficult to follow.

風明と下女のやりとりはサンデー版オリジナルなんか
それじゃアニメになくてもしゃーないか
阿多妃を石榴宮の人たちがどれくらい慕ってたか
よくわかるエピソードなんだがな

So the interaction between Fengming and the servant was original to the Sunday manga adaptation.
If so, it makes sense that it was not in the anime, though it was an effective scene for showing how deeply the people of the Garnet Pavilion admired Concubine Ah-Duo.


🔚 Overall Impressions

Episode 11 gave viewers the long-awaited explanation connecting Concubine Ah-Duo, Jinshi, Luomen, Fengming, and the infant who died after being given honey. Many reactions focused on the baby exchange and the terrible chain of consequences that followed, while viewers debated who knew the truth and why it could never be made public.

Fengming’s loyalty and guilt made the resolution feel tragic rather than triumphant. Some viewers questioned the palace maid’s death and wished the anime had shown more of the relationship between the attendants, while others felt that the ambiguity suited a story in which Maomao can infer events but cannot prove every detail.

The episode’s density divided the audience. Some needed subtitles or a second viewing to follow the rapid explanation, whereas others thought the clues were presented clearly to attentive viewers. Noriko Hidaka’s performance, Concubine Ah-Duo’s sorrow, and Maomao’s characteristically unromantic reaction to Jinshi’s embrace were widely praised. Overall, viewers saw the episode as a painful account of loyalty, secrecy, and consequences that reached across generations.
