Angry Maomao is the best Maomao, it means shit is going to hit the fan.

Shin got off light. Lihua needs to do a full review of her ladies in waiting since Shin was the one running the show.

I was surprised at the pure level of vitriol Shin had for Lady Lihua, I thought she'd have some sympathetic motives like Fengming did. I suppose it makes things more realistic though, sometimes people are just jealous. She got off far too easy in my opinion.

Maomao was incredible as always, love seeing her go on the offensive. I wonder what the Emperor is thinking, he's a very interesting character despite not seeing much of him.

I wonder if miscarriage of Lady Lihua was also orchestrated. She almost died. And to what extent Shin knew about it.

Favorite episode so far, out of all the 6 released. Lihua, as Maomao said, is not who she was at the start, at all. Loved how after Shin told her to "rot childless in the garden" while throwing the medicines at her, and Gaoshun grabs her hands as to stop her from throwing anything at Lihua, Lihua slaps Shin as a punishment as to save her from the death penalty cuz she still holds her dear to her heart after all Shin put Lihua through, even in season 1 when she LITERALLY killed her baby unknowingly. Yet, she still forgives her. I actually loved that, really did. Cuz one can relate to her, since they were close since childhood and that. So i'm glad, Lihua made such a decision. Swear to god though, can never get enough of intimidating Maomao towards whoever she's 99% sure is the criminal. As someone said above, "Angry Maomao is Peak Maomao". That aside, really glad the sick lady-in-waiting got transported out of the rear palace to get proper treatment, although i'm confused as to why she wasn't transported to the medical office in the rear palace instead, since there are multiple competent doctors over there, and it's even closer to Lihua's residence. It just confused me a bit, but it is what it is, i guess. That aside, loved the cliffhanger at the end though with the Emperor thinking of something regarding our Maomao, excited to know what it is in the upcoming episodes.

@Starpudding Shin didn't know before, but now is doing so out of her own hateful will.

@Skuvan In other sources it's canonical, too? I only watch anime.

@Starpudding Bro, i only watch anime too. Do you think just because an anime is an adaptation it ain't canon? Of course it's canon, that's why it got so popular and was rewarded with a 2nd season, because it was faithful to the original source (both its manga & its light novel). Any animes which would not adapt the original material faithfully, wouldn't get rewarded with 2nd seasons. Like Twin Star Exorcists, Soul Eater, 2016 Berserk, Black Butler, and god-awful Promised Neverland. I could go on and on, but you get the gist of it.

@Skuvan I'm Gal. Anyway, no hard feelings. I thought maybe you've red other sources, sometimes are some variations. It seems you are very dedicated.

@Starpudding I apologize, Ms. Pudding. I plan to read this show, but not any way soon. I do read other stuff, but i've never read neither this show's manga nor its light novel. I don't like reading ongoing novels, since they're expensive where i live in, so no matter how much you read, there are always new volumes to be released. So i prefer to read finished novels instead, and i do so because i get bored a lot in college, so i spend most of my time reading over there. I was reading an ongoing light novel a while back, but i put it on hold for the reason i stated above, you can even check yourself on my profile. I ordered another light novel that will be delivered to me by the 20th, so like 5 days from now. It's a light novel for an anime that adapted 3 volumes of the light novel faithfully, but never got rewarded with a 2nd season due to not selling so well back in its day. So i read its manga, which is 1 volume after its anime, to cover 4 volumes, then i decided to order the 5th volume which is coming in 5 days cuz the manga stopped after that volume as well since it saw no hope for the anime to get a 2nd season, so if it continued, would've kinda been a wasted effort.

That was a great ep. Mao mao toying with Shin whilst solving the case was hilarious.



And the slap! I was waiting for it but I didn't expect it to come from Lady Lihua!!!! I'm glad the servant could finally get treatment tho. Ofc we end with a cliffhanger. Not sure what the Emperor's up to but I'm excited for the next ep.

One question: Was it mentioned anywhere where Lady Shin was during the first Lihua poisoning incident in S1 (the one with the lead-tainted powder), or was she actually present but I missed her somehow? Because if I remember correctly, there was a brunette lady-in-waiting who acted like a know-it-all but Lady Shin only appeared in the second half of S1.

Yo! They adapt Lihua's falcon punch!!!!

And we're getting a bite of the meat of the SE02 next EP.

But we're still burning through the materials pretty quickly rn. At this pt, I rly thought the 2nd cour might actually adapt past "mr froggy", until at least the "mask festival" and maybe even beyond, hence surpassing the manga adaptation (nobody who didn't understand the context would even know what I'm talking abt, so not a spoiler).

A very satisfying conclusion, good thing that they caught & apprehend lady Shin, her wild thoughts & ambitions will bring ruin to lady Lihua if Maomao didn't caught on her on time.

Hmm, what could be the emperor's thoughts at the last scene...

Another fantastic episode!

Glad the poor maid survived.

Maomao was relentless, but there was no other way. I'm a bit salty about the punishment. Instead of execution she's banished, thus humiliated, but she openly admitted wanting to kill the emperor's unborn child (and tried to do it AGAIN!). Lihua took pity. It's understandable why she'd do it after all, but I'm not satisfied.

Oh well...

What's with the Emperor absorbed by thoughts when Maomao was brought up in discussion at the end? SUS!

Very satisfied with how the coughing girl case has been resolved. Decent medical detective work, tense action, court drama, dramatic showdown.

Interesting reaction from the Emperor... He's probably just thinking of a problem to ask Maomao about next episode.

But I wonder what he thinks of all the Rear Palace drama and conspiracies. I'm sure he has a lot on his mind, but the safety of his concubines and children is not just a personal issue and has significant political implications. It's not hard to imagine that he wants a few in the Rear Palace dead, maybe even some of his concubines...
