Maomao takes the blame for Kyou-u's escape attempt to protect him from Shenmei's punishment and is subsequently thrown into the "Taibon" cell – a snake pit as a torture method. Using her knowledge, she identifies non-venomous snakes, prepares them as a meal, and uses herbs to repel insects. A guard she previously saved secretly warns her about the gunpowder production in the basement and the approaching imperial army.
In parallel, Loulan (Shisui) warns the workers in the fort to flee and reveals family secrets: Suirei is the granddaughter of Taihou (the first victim of the late emperor) and carries imperial blood. Shenmei planned with Loulan's birth to create a "new Royal Mother" to take revenge on the imperial family. The episode culminates in Loulan's tragic decision: She poisons the children and mothers in the fort with a sweet drink to "save" them from the impending execution by the imperial troops. Kyou-u drinks voluntarily after his rescue attempt for Maomao fails.
