Am I missing something? Blue Princess origin (Spoilers)


At what point did Cocachin tell Empress Chabi that she wasn't really the Blue Princess?

The first I noticed her mention it is in ep 4 when she has the stable boy impregnate Cocachin, but how did she know?

Anyone able to shed some light on this?

Not 100% on this, but in the first Season, Chabi questioned her closely about her life before coming to the Khan's court. I think she just figured it out herself, based on the way those talks went. She didn't really ACT like a princess...not enough to fool someone who knew what to look for.

In season one, Chabi questions her about her life and customs, back with her own people. Chabi figured it out on her own, and we get confirmation when Kokachin/Nurguey(sp?) despairs about a child only having half royal blood, and Chabi replies that the child will have no royal blood.

Chabi ends up not caring, though, because we later get confirmation (from Kaidu's mother, I think) that Chabi was common, herself. Chabi found a kindred spirit in Kokachin. She also resorts to the stable boy who looks something like her son, not just for the timing of a pregnancy, but because the series hints at Jingim being sterile (four wives and still no heirs).

I'm fuzzy on that, too. It wasn't that clear. When Chabi replies, "The child will have no royal blood", the pretty much comfirmed she knew. But I'm really lost as to how she knew.

She did not.

Chabi already knew before she brought the stable boy in.
