Xiaolan triggers a crisis when she accidentally bumps into a eunuch carrying ice blocks for the high-ranking concubine Loulan. Maomao improvises a replacement dessert using salvaged ice, milk, and fruit to appease Loulan's anger. Meanwhile, Maomao examines Gyokuyou's pregnancy and discovers signs of a breech position, increasing the risk of childbirth. She suggests summoning her adoptive father Luomen – a skilled but exiled physician and eunuch – for assistance.

Gyokuyou agrees despite reservations, as Luomen has experience with risky deliveries (including the Emperor and Concubine Ah-Duo). Simultaneously, the episode touches on Jinshi's seemingly nonchalant assistance to Maomao, who playfully challenges him in exchange for favors. Luomen's arrival at the palace causes surprise, as his gentle demeanor defies the expectations of Maomao's colleagues.

The episode ends with preparations for Gyokuyou's high-risk delivery and hints at historical conflicts surrounding Luomen's exile.
