Jinshi observes Maomao’s dilemma and is forced to interfere, allowing Maomao to treat Lihua, beginning with a special diet designed to cleanse her body of the poison caused by the beauty powder her lead lady-in-waiting was covertly taking.

The main lady-in-waiting was punished, albeit mildly, and is now free to return to her position (Maomao took over for the duration), whilst the eunuch tasked with recovering the illegal powder was lashed as punishment.

Maomao requests that Jinshi construct a sauna as she incorporates regular steam baths into Lihua’s therapy regimen. Lihua recovers completely after two months.

When Maomao was about to return to Lady Gyokuyou, she told Lihua a tactic her brothel sisters taught her for regaining the Emperor’s favor because she has the “assets” to do so. As a result, the Emperor began to visit Gyokuyou less regularly, giving her more time to relax.
