Episode 3 recap: Zhao Ruoqi resolved the crimson worm incident.
Liu Cai was extremely worried and felt that even if they resolved the issue, they would completely offend Guan Panpan. Zhao Ruqi believed that they could handle any situation and there was no need to worry too much. When Zhao Ruqi and Liu Cai returned, they were shocked to find blood on the window. Liu Cai was afraid that if they discovered the blood, they would be seen as ominous people.
Zhao Ruqi went to investigate and noticed that the color of the blood was unusual. Zhao Ruqi explained that the color of the crimson worms was similar to blood, but they could cause an epidemic and even death if left untreated, so they should avoid touching it. After considering it, Zhao Ruqi decided to reveal the incident and sent the maidservant to fetch people from the imperial medical hospital.
While waiting, Zhao Ruqi believed they could do something and brought mugwort to fumigate the area, as mugwort also had preventive properties. When the medical staff arrived, they praised Zhao Ruqi for handling the situation well and believed that it wouldn't be too serious this time. Zhao Ruqi suspected that it was an intentional act. The medical staff asked Zhao Ruqi whom they suspected, and Zhao Ruqi mentioned Guan Panpan as a possibility.
The medical staff emphasized that accusing Liu Cai was a serious matter and asked if there was any evidence. Zhao Ruqi knew that Guan Panpan was eavesdropping and admitted that there was no concrete evidence, but the poison was potent, so it was necessary to disinfect with strong alcohol if anyone came into contact with it.
