Synopsis
When the emperor’s high-ranking consort, Gyokuyō, discovered she was pregnant, Maomao returned to her role as the Jade Pavilion’s poison-tester. She remained vigilant to ensure no further incidents would target the consort and the emperor’s son.
A new consort, Loulan, whose father was an influential minister from the previous emperor’s reign, entered the palace. An unprecedented unsolved case emerged, where the emperor’s life was threatened, and the suspect, Suirei, disappeared.
As the unsettling atmosphere persisted, foreign traders and ambassadors with unreasonable demands also arrived. More dark clouds were beginning to gather over the court.
The new challenges facing Maomao and Jinshi will eventually escalate into a major incident involving the entire country—-
