| Okay so Jinshi isn't a eunuch. I wonder what the stuff he's drinking is. I assume some sort of herbal anti androgen but what? Perhaps chaste tree berry, white peony, reishi mushrooms, or red clover are among a few possible ingredients. https://medicinalherbals.net/natural-anti-androgens/ Suirei making herself appear dead. Maomao mentioned thornapple (datura stramonium), and pufferfish. Pufferfish would mean tetrodotoxin. Tetrodotoxin can cause a person to appear dead by itself if they don't die. The thornapple isn't necessary as far as I am aware, that's just there to make someone delirious I think. |

| It's been confirmed now that Jinshi isn't an eunuch and that he is only nineteen instead of twenty-four. Suirei being alive might cause more problems later in the future, and I'm interested if that ever happens. |

Weeb_Isekai said: Relative to last episode, what could this episode do to top it? Even so, this episode was a bit disappointing. Everyone in last episode's discussion thought Jinshi's true identity was revealed but somehow Maomao doesn't know despite knowing the emperor's son and younger brother were swapped, thinking Jinshi looked like Concubine Ah-Duo, knowing nobles do the Buddhist rituals Jinshi does every month and that a noble would be targeted. No one else seems to have found out despite all the court officials bowing to him. It looks like next week is going to be a filler episode too. she knows alright... she just doesn't want to know, and was conditioned to never make assumptions, she's being willfully ignorant and will remain so as long as its more advantageous to her... |

BlichoBoy said: Suirei "The A Team'd(movie)" her way out. The Emperor don't appreciate the cosplayer concubine, sadly. Maomao got her old job back. Which is great, she was having her fun doing it. no one can convince me that the cosplayer concubine is not just a ruse for her to switch with one or multiple of her ladies in waiting to do god knows what... I'm convinced of it since I read the manga chapter equivalent to this episode and the emperor's dislike was noted, but seeing it animated, she looks like a totally different girl altogether... |

| Maomao with that evil laugh lol, cracked me. I wonder who was Suirei working with. Surely there was some high ranking official behind. Jinshi and Gaoshun both take medicine to calm down eh lol, ig makes sense with all beauties around. Good to know Gaoshun has children and even grandchildren. Seems like Jinshi has a bit of a doubt about his originity too, I mean one look at him and Ah Duo and anyone can tell really. The previous empress Dowager is pretty. Hope to see her and know why she exchanged child with Ah Duo. Btw the current emperor dislikes lolis and is into mature women, man of culture. Loulan looks prettier without her normal dressups imo. So back to Gyokuyo for Maomao. Ig she'll finally give birth to the prince. People getting confused about Jinshi lol when it's really simple. Maomao literally explained it all. |

| While Suirei was definitely involved I think there were other co-conspirators and they could still be lurking within the palace. Besides that, Gyokuyou may be pregnant and Maomao is again working in the rear palace. Plus one of the Verdigris princesses is being bought out and I'm thinking Lakan may be the buyer. |
Huh I see, thanks. Mashua tubers seems fairly powerful in effect from what is written. kuroneko99 said: I don't know what Romeo-and-Juliet drug was, but it seems anesthetics can cause similar effects. It means the drug used by Juliet to try to fake her death. No one knows for sure what Shakespeare meant. It's thought to possibly be belladonna, or bulrush, or leopards bane. https://www.shakespearelives.org/poisons-potions/ kuroneko99 said: While I was searching for "reviving technique", I found the opposite: "to kill with delay technique". There is a Japanese proverb: "doku wo motte doku wo seisu (control a poison with another poison)". The English equivalent would be "like curses like". It is usually used "if you want to eliminate an evil, then send another evil to him". I never thought it can apply literally, but it seems it can. If you apply "poison A that has positive effect for something" and "poison B that has negative effect" at the same time, those poisons cancel each other. and if those poisons have different life-times, you can control the time of death. The following is a real case that trick was used: wiki. some people... I didn't mention before but the suggested ingredients match that of what is suspected to be in Haitian zombie powder. Most famous case of it being used was on a man named Clairvius Narcisse. It's essentially used to make people appear dead even by modern medicine western trained doctors, then they dig up their graves and use these people as slaves and keep them from running by keeping them in a drugged up state purportedly using datura. I'm unsure if similar appears in other cultures. |
| Yeah well just keep it up for this amazing episode. Maomao is back, she's fine, but still with the recovery period, I liked her in this episode. Still Maomao was basically the one who wanted to keep trying new poisons and medicines. And also Jinshi, he is still very young, 24 years old, we also know more about him this time.  |

@Asukadesuuuu So if Jinshi is 19 and the current emperor is 34, then the emperor was 15 when he had a son with Ah-Duo?

yes thats correct
| @Asukadesuuuu one ciorrection. Around a year passed since the start of the series. So the Emperror was 16 when his son was born. |
 |
| Maomao's evil laugh was just as random as it was unhinged, and it was great. Knew Suiran had something more to her than she appeared but never expected her to be playing 5D chess with everyone. |

| @Dan_ALves In any case, considering how they kept saying how Ah Duo is a 35yo woman, it means she is 1 year older than him. So they were both very young (15 him and 16 her, so 14-15 when baby was conceived) anyway. |
| bruh |
| More mysteries to be solved, but a lot more fun in the process... It was impressive to see Maomao recover so quickly after getting severely injured in the last episode, but she went right back to work, investigating recent incidents, and explaining just what happened with Suirei's supposed death. As expected, Suirei found a way to resurrect herself, and it is up to Maomao to find out exactly what her role was in the pillar almost falling on Jinshi. It was also no surprise that Jinshi wasn't actually a eunuch, but I was shocked to find out that he is only nineteen years old! Overall, a really enjoyable episode, even if it paled in comparison to the bone-chilling episode last week. |
| It's the aftermath of the collapse, and 猫猫 have pieced things together. Suirei, who was presumed dead, is actually alive. This episode is setting up another mystery. Who is Suirei and who ordered her? The next episode doesn't seem connected, but a we have seen, you never know. |
| OMG Suirei is crazy with that plan. Holy shit we got so many reveal this episode. Jinshi is Ah-Duo and Current Emperor son confirmed!! I knew it, they looks so similar he is also 19 years, also he is not an Eunouch. THIS IS CRAZY!! |
 |
| wow! so many information was casually dropped. very excited for the future episodes and the stories to be unfold. |
 |
| Good episode as always |
| Faking her own death. I wouldn't expect this. |
| so Jinshi isn't a eunuch. he's a 19 year old guy. neither is Gaoshun a eunuch. Jinshi was also thinking the same thing that Maomao thought about Jinshi being the son of concubine Ah Duo. And Maomao is back to rear palace. |
| Slow episode, lets see what the next one can offer! |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| So that supposedly poison thing makes you look dead but not really, it reminds me of the one from Romeo and Juliet. I guess that's the kind of medicine they are |
| Hopefully Maomao can find Suirei and become friends. Or more than friends. Shh. As for other things, I feel like I shouldn't have read a little because some things aren't quite a surprise, but that's okay! |
| Hey! Xiaomao made the Tanya Degurechaff side grin!! But seriously, Xiaomao still not accepting/confirming Jinshi's real identity is starting to get annoying. For how much longer are they gonna prolong the obvious? On the other side, Jinshi being 19 continues to baffle the shit out of me. |
| Definitely got heavy shades of The Serpent and the Rainbow coming through in this episode. I wonder if Suirei or her sponsor and/or handler acquired the tetrodotoxin from somewhere like this world's equivalent of Haiti or somewhere much closer to home like some fugu or something fugu-esque from this world's equivalent of Japan. |
| Maomao faces the best of this episode!!! kekeke |
| It is nice to see that someone captured MaoMao's interest. |
