The episode opens with the low-ranking concubine Su Xing accused of poisoning by Noble Consort Liu, facing a death sentence. With witnesses and evidence seemingly against her, Su Xing, using her expertise in pharmacology, calmly refutes the accusation. She points out that Noble Consort Liu's discomfort is actually caused by the interaction between her own perfume and ginseng tea, not poisoning. Exposed, Noble Consort Liu is furious. The next day, Su Xing wakes up unharmed to learn that Noble Consort Liu has feigned illness and sealed her palace, while Su Xing receives a reward from the Empress. Facing palace intrigue, Su Xing declares her desire to "lie flat" and remain a passive observer, uninterested in the power struggles.
