Maomao resolves the mystery surrounding the consecutive deaths of the Emperor's newborn children. Following this, the health of High Consort Lihua deteriorates significantly. Consequently, the Emperor commands Maomao to provide medical treatment for the High Consort. When Maomao attempts to administer a prepared meal, the maids interfere with the process, which causes Lihua's condition to weaken further. To address this, Jinshi assists Maomao in uncovering the truth behind the High Consort's declining health. The pair works together to determine the underlying causes of the illness while navigating the interference from the palace staff.
