Episode Description:
Maomao confronts Fengming about past events involving Ah-Duo's baby and the empress dowager's child. She discovers that Ah-Duo lost the ability to give birth after her first child partially due to the doctor attending another royal birth. Later, Fengming unknowingly killed Ah-Duo's son by feeding him poisonous honey. The death was treated as a mystery, but this and the previous infertility incident led to Maomao's father's expulsion. Lishu, who was nearly poisoned by honey as an infant, reveals this fact to Fengming, which sets the other events in motion...
