Episode 9 recap: Princess Jiuyue has been poisoned and Yanru has been captured.
After everyone left, Mei Ao pulled Mei Kaishao aside and warned her, ensuring that she would become the head of the Mei family in the future. Mei Kaishao ignored Mei Ao and stood up to chase after Murong Hanbing, hoping to reconcile and apologize for today's incident, as it had caused a rift between Lao Ba and Murong Hanbing. Murong Hanbing self-deprecatingly remarked that she was a person without friends.
At this moment, several guards captured the intoxicated Yanru. Upon Murong Hanbing's inquiry, she learned that the princess had been poisoned because she consumed herbs obtained from Yanru. Mei Kaishao hurriedly went to find the divine doctor but discovered that the place had already been sealed off. In that moment, Mei Kaishao realized she was powerless and couldn't do anything, feeling frustrated. She quickly sought help from Murong Hanbing but found that she wasn't at home. Mei Kaishao waited outside the door until Murong Hanbing returned, and upon questioning, she learned that Princess Jiuyue was not in serious danger. However, the poisoning was a grave matter, and Yanru couldn't be released easily. Murong Hanbing warned Mei Kaishao to be cautious as her own safety was at stake. The princess was poisoned because she purchased Baozhen Pills, and there must be someone else who had been taking them for a long time. Mei Kaishao remembered what the divine doctor had said, and indeed, Yanru had mentioned being able to obtain the Baozhen Pills. Mei Kaishao also took the Baozhen Pills every day and firmly believed that Yanru wouldn't harm her. To save Yanru, she decided to report the matter to the imperial court. Worried that Mei Kaishao would cause trouble, Murong Hanbing picked her up and carried her straight to the room.
